Today, we will examine our findings from Program 3. Can anyone tell me what operation we performed?
We did a subtraction operation where we subtracted 10H from 05H.
That's right! This is important because it lets us see how the system handles negative results. Now, do we recall how to set up the register for this program?
We first loaded the values into the Accumulator and Register B before executing the subtraction.
Exactly! And what values did we load into these registers?
We loaded A with 05H and B with 10H.
Great job! Now, letβs summarize that setup: A = 05H and B = 10H. Let's proceed with the execution.
Observing Results

Now that we've executed the program, what do we see in the Accumulator?
The Accumulator holds F5H, which signifies a negative value in 8-bit 2's complement.
Precisely! And what does this say about our subtraction operation?
It indicates we went below zero, resulting in a borrow.
Exactly! We would need to pay carefully attention to the flag register now. What did we observe for the flags?
The Sign flag was set to 1, indicating a negative result.
Well noted! And what about the Carry flag?
The Carry flag was also set to 1, showing that a borrow occurred during the operation.
Well done, everyone! In summary, F5H indicates a negative result, and our flags both indicate a borrow. Next, we will compare these observations to our expected values.
Comparing Observed and Expected Values

Let's compare our observed results with expected values. What was our expectation for the Accumulator?
We expected the value to be F5H after the subtraction.
Correct! And how does the B register compare?
It is showing 10H, which aligns with our expectations.
Great! What about the memory location we checked, 2070H?
It also has the value F5H.
Perfect! Now before we wrap up, can someone summarize the significance of what weβve learned today?
We learned how the 8085 handles subtraction, including borrowing, and how this is reflected in registers and flags.
Well summarized! That concludes our discussion for Program 3. Remember to reflect on how each operation affects CPU state.
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
Program 3 demonstrates basic arithmetic operations, specifically subtraction using the 8085 microprocessor. The observed values after executing the program are compared to expected results, highlighting the influence on registers and flags.
Detailed
Detailed Summary
In Program 3 of the experiment, we focus on executing a subtraction operation within the 8085 microprocessor environment. The goal is to subtract a larger number (10H) from a smaller one (05H) and observe how this influences the Accumulator, registers, and flag register outcomes.
The program starts by loading the immediate values into the Accumulator and Register B, subsequently performing the subtraction operation. Here, we observe that the resultant value stored in the Accumulator appears in 2's complement due to the nature of the operation.
Following the execution, we compare the expected and observed values for the registers and memory to analyze the system's behavior under these conditions, paying special attention to the flag register's indicators. This section reinforces understanding of how basic arithmetic operations impact the microprocessor's internal state.

Detailed Explanation
This section documents the results from executing Program 3, which performs a subtraction operation. It lists the expected values of various components such as the registers and memory locations and compares them to the observed values after running the program. For example, the A Register is expected to contain F5H, and it was observed to be F5H, indicating that the operation was successful. Similarly, the B Register holds 10H, and the memory location 2070H also holds F5H as expected.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this like a student taking a math test where they solve equations. The expected answers represent the correct solutions they should have; after completing the test (running the program), the teacher (the microprocessor) checks the students' answers against the expected correct ones. If the student gives the right answers, it shows their understanding of the material, similar to how the observed values confirm the correct functioning of the microprocessor.

Register/Memory Location Expected Value Observed Value
A Register F5H
B Register 10H
Detailed Explanation
In Program 3, the A Register and B Register values are crucial to understanding the result of the subtraction operation. The A Register, which holds the result of the subtraction, is expected to be F5H after subtracting a larger number (10H) from a smaller number (05H). This indicates an underflow condition represented in two's complement, which is normal in binary operations when borrowing occurs. The B Register simply holds the value which was subtracted, which is 10H.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a situation where you have 5 apples, and you need to give away 10 apples. In the context of this operation, you initially think you can subtract them (5 - 10), but you end up with a negative situation, which in this analogy means borrowing. The A Register is like the basket that ends up showing fewer apples than you started with, and the B Register is just a reminder of how many apples you wanted to give away.

Memory Location 2070H F5H
Detailed Explanation
Memory Location 2070H is observed to contain F5H after the program execution. This confirms that the subtraction result has been successfully stored. The F5H corresponds to the result of subtracting 10H from 05H, represented as a negative number in two's complement form. This result is critical because it shows how the microprocessor handles values that result in a borrow during operations.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you have a safe where you store outcomes from your daily transactions. If you give away more than you initially had, you would note this in your records with a negative balance. In this case, the F5H value is like the record in your safe showing the negative outcome of having given away more than you possessed.

Chapter Content
Flag Register Expected Observed
Sign (S) 1
Zero (Z) 0
Aux. Carry (AC) 0
Parity (P) 0
Carry (C) 1
Detailed Explanation
The Flag Register indicates the status of the operation carried out by the microprocessor. In this instance, the Sign flag is set to 1, signaling that the result is negative. The Zero flag is not set (0), meaning the result is not zero. The Carry flag is also set (1), signifying that a borrow occurred during the subtraction, reinforcing the idea that the operation resulted in a negative outcome. This status provides critical insight into how the CPU interprets the results of operations.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the Flag Register as the lights on the dashboard of a car. If the 'Check Engine' light (Sign flag) is on, it means there's a problem (negative result). If the 'Oil' light (Zero flag) is off, everything's good in that area (not zero). The 'Battery' light (Carry flag) could be signaling that something went wrong during the test (borrow). Each light indicates different conditions that help the driver (user) understand the vehicle's current state (operation results).
Key Concepts
-
Subtraction Operation: The process of deducting one number from another, yielding potentially negative values.
-
Flag Register: Special register that displays the status of operations, indicating whether a flag, such as a borrow, was set.
-
Register Values: The microprocessorβs internal state captured in various registers after an operation.
Examples & Applications
In this program, when subtracting 10H from 05H, the expected A register outcome is F5H, indicating the result has gone negative.
After completing the subtraction, the observed flags will reflect the borrow, indicated by a set Carry flag and a Sign flag set to 1.
