MOV, MVI, LDA, LDAX, LXI, LHLD, STA, STAX,SHLD

1.MOV: - This instruction is used to copy the data from one place to another.

Eg: - MOV Rd, Rs (This instruction copies the content of Rs to Rd)
         MOV M,Rs (This instruction copies the content of register Rs to memory location pointed by HL Register)
         MOV Rd, M (This instruction copies the content of memory location pointed by the HL
register to the register Rd.)




2.MVI: - move immediate date to a register or memory location.


Eg: - MVI Rd, #30H (30h is stored in register Rd)

          MVI M, #30H(30h is stored in memory location pointed by HL Reg)




3.LDA: - Load accumulator. (this instruction copies the data from a given 16 bit address to the accumulator)

Eg: - LDA 3000H (content of memory location 3000h is coppied in accumulator)




4.LDAX(Load accumulator indirect): - The contents of the designated register pair point to a memory location. This instruction copies the contents of that memory location into the accumulator. The contents of either the register pair or the memory location are not altered.

Eg: - LDAX B



5.LXI(Load register pair immediate): - The instruction loads 16-bit data in the register pair designated in the
operand.
Eg: - LXI H, 2034H (2034H is stored in HL pair so that it act as memory pointer)
          
          LXI H, XYZ      (address of level XYZ is copied in HL pair)



6.LHLD(Load H and L register direct): - this instruction loads the contents of the 16- bit memory location into the HL register pair.

Eg: - LHLD 3000H (the content of location 3000h is copied into the HL reg pair)




7.STA: - the content of accumulator are copied into the memory location.

Eg: - STA 3000H (the content of accumulator is stored into the memory location 3000h)



8.STAX(Store accumulator indirect): - The contents of the accumulator are copied into the memory location specified by the contents of the operand (register pair). The contents of the accumulator are not altered.

Eg: - STAX B (the content of accumulator is stored into the memory location specified by the BC register pair.)



9.SHLD(store H and L register direct): - The contents of register L are stored into the memory location specified by the 16-bit address in the operand and the contents of H register are stored into the next memory location by incrementing the operand. The contents of registers HL are not altered. This is a 3-byte instruction, the second byte specifies the low-order address and the third byte specifies the high-order address.


Eg: - SHLD 3000H

    5.LXI(Load register pair immediate): - The instruction loads 16-bit data in the register pair designated in the
    operand.
    Eg: - LXI H, 2034H (2034H is stored in HL pair so that it act as memory pointer)

    LXI H, XYZ (address of level XYZ is copied in HL pair)



    6.LHLD(Load H and L register direct): - this instruction loads the contents of the 16- bit memory location into the HL register pair.

    Eg: - LHLD 3000H (the content of location 3000h is copied into the HL reg pair)

    What is difference tem will u explain it

      both are same just the difference is in the type of addressing mode...google type of addressing mode for more information

    2. Sheel Patel16 March 2016 at 22:32

      No both arent the same. LXI copies the 16 bit address 3000H to HL pair as in 30H to H and 00H to L. LHLD will copy the data contained in 3000H memory location to L and data contained in 3001H memory location to H.

      in LHLD instruction the data at two consecutive locations will load in HL pair
      for eg- LHLD 3000H
      then data at 3000 load in H reg and data at next location which is 3001 load in L reg

      Delete
    9. Unknown28 May 2018 at 07:42

      If address is 3000H and data at 3000H is 20 and at 3001H is 30.

      Then LXI H, 3000H
      H = 30H
      L = 00H

      Then LHLD 3000H
      H = 30H
      L = 20H

      can mov r,m be used after lxi d?

      Delete
    4. Saishriya Iyer20 September 2017 at 11:00

      Lxi B initialises the pointer at the specified memory location of register By.For example:
      LXI B,C050H indicates that pointer is now pointing towards memory location C050 in register B

      Delete
    5. Saishriya Iyer20 September 2017 at 11:04

      @mercy Yes mov r,m can be used after LXI d but memory location should have some specific data in it(cannot be empty).Also,we generally prefer initialising registers at the start so LXI d should be at the start of the program ,then you should load data into memory m and then use the instruction mov r,m to move data in memory location to register r

      Don't get confused. Both will move the data.

      MOV A B will move the contents of B

      MVI A 03 here the value 03 is directly moved to the Accumulator!
