MISCELLANEOUS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTION
XCHG– The XCHG (exchange) instruction exchanges the
contents of a register to any other register or memory location
– Table 4.16 list the fomrs of the XCHG instructions LAHF and SAHF
– These instructions allowed 8085 software to be translated into 8086 software by a translation program; They are seldom used
MISCELLANEOUS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTION (cont’d)
XLAT– The XLAT (translate) instruction converts the
contents of the AL register into a number stored in a memory table
– This instruction performs the direct table look-up technique
– Study Example 4.9 and Fig.4.17 IN and OUT
MISCELLANEOUS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTION (cont’d)
– Table 4.17 lists the forms of IN and OUT instructions, which perform I/O operations
– Two forms of I/O device (port) addressing exist for IN and OUT: fixed-port (i.e., port number follows the instruction’s op-code) and variable port (i.e., it has permanent port number, stored in a ROM)
– The port address appears on the address bus during an I/O instruction
– Study Fig.4.18 and Example 4.10
MISCELLANEOUS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTION (cont’d)
MOVSX and MOVZX– The MOVSX (move and sign-extend) and MOVZX
(move and zero-extend) move data and at the same time either sign-extend (i.e., its sign-bit is copied into the most significant part) or zero-extend (i.e., the most significant part fills with zero) it. See Table 4.18
BSWAP– The BSWAP (byte swap) instruction takes the contents
of any 32-bit register and swaps the 1st byte with the 4th, and the 2nd with the 4th
MISCELLANEOUS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTION (cont’d)
CMOV– The CMOV (conditional move) only move the
data if the condition is true– See Table 4.19 and example 4.11
SEGMENT OVERRIDE PREFIX
The segment override prefix allows the pro-grammer to deviate from the default seg-ment– e.g., the MOV AX,[DI] --> MOV AX,ES:[DI]
See Table 4.20
