Stack and Subroutines in 8085 8085 Microprocessor by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - October 13, 2021October 13, 20210 Stack and Subroutines Stack and subroutine are powerful mechanism in 8085 microprocessor for modularizing the assembly program, Stack A stack is a first in last out memory locations in the r/w memory and is used during the execution of a program. This memory is generally specified by the programmer in the main program. To point in the stack memory every processor has a pointer known as the stack pointer. To use the stack, the stack pointer is fist loaded with the beginning address of the stack memory by using the instruction LXI SP, XXXXh. Where XXXXh denotes a 16-bit memory address. The stack may grow up or down. In 8085 the stack grows downward in the reverse order, that means, that once the
Branch Type Instructions 8086 8086 Microprocessor by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - December 14, 2020May 10, 20210 Branch Instruction: The branch instruction is used to transfer the control of the program to a new address. This branch can be Conditional or Unconditional. Once the branch is taken the execution of instructions will take place from this new address called branch address. Usually the Conditional branch is taken after the ADD, SUB, INC, DEC and the instructions used to implement the LOOP. When these types of instructions are executed, the CS and IP registers get loaded with new values of CS and IP corresponding to the location where a branch is required. The branch instruction can be one of the following types. Unconditional Jump instructions: JMP, CALL, RET, INT N, INTO, IRET, LOOP, Conditional Jump instructions: JA/JNBE, JAE/JNB, JB/JNAE, JC, JNC, JE /JZ, JNE
