Arithmetic Operations

The 8085 microprocessor performs various arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, increment, and decrement. These arithmetic operations have the following mnemonics.

INTRODUCTION TO 8085 ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTIONS

ADD:	Add	Add the contents of a register.
ADI:	Add Immediately	Add 8-bit data.
SUB:	Subtract	Subtract the contents of a register.
SUI:	Subtract Immediately	Subtract 8-bit data.
INR:	Increment	Increase the content of register by1.
DCR:	Decrement	Decrease the content of register by1.

The arithmetic operations ADD and Subtract are performed in relation to the contents of the accumulator. However, the Increment or the Decrement operations can be performed in any register. The instructions for these operations are explained below:

INSTRUCTIONS

These arithmetic instructions(except INR and DCR)

1. assume implicitly that the accumulator is one of the operands.
2. modify all the flags according to the data conditions of the result.
3. place the result in the accumulator.
4. do not affect the contents of the operand register.

The instructions INR and DCR

1. affects the content of the specified register.
2. affect all flags expect the CY flag.

The descriptions of the instructions (including INR and DCR) are as follows:

Opcode	Operand	Description
ADD	R	ADD This is 1-byte instructions. Adds the contents of register R to the contents of the accumulator.
ADI	8-bit	Add Immediately This is 2-byte instructions. Adds the second byte to the contents of the accumulator
SUB	R+	Subtract This is 1-byte instructions. Subtract the contents of register R from the contents of the accumulator.
SUI	8-bit	Subtract Immediately This is 2-byte instructions. Subtracts the byte from the contents of the accumulator.
INR	R*	Increment This is 1-byte instructions. Increases the contents of register R by 1 Caution: All flags except the CY are affected
DCR	R*	Decrement This is 1-byte instructions. Decreases the contents of register R by 1 Caution: All flags except the CY are affected.

So, These are the arithmetic operations/ instructions of the 8085 microprocessor.
