UM008007-0715 Decimal Adjust Accumulator Flag

Z80 CPU

User Manual

Decimal Adjust Accumulator Flag

The Decimal Adjust Accumulator (DAA) instruction uses this flag to distinguish between

ADD and SUBTRACT instructions. For all ADD instructions, N sets to 0. For all SUB-

TRACT instructions, N sets to 1.

Parity/Overflow Flag

The Parity/Overflow (P/V) Flag is set to a specific state depending on the operation being

performed. For arithmetic operations, this flag indicates an overflow condition when the

result in the Accumulator is greater than the maximum possible number (+127) or is less

than the minimum possible number (–128). This overflow condition is determined by

examining the sign bits of the operands.

For addition, operands with different signs never cause overflow. When adding operands

with similar signs and the result contains a different sign, the Overflow Flag is set, as

shown in the following example.

The two numbers added together result in a number that exceeds +127 and the two posi-

tive operands result in a negative number (–95), which is incorrect. The Overflow Flag is

therefore set.

For subtraction, overflow can occur for operands of unalike signs. Operands of alike signs

never cause overflow, as shown in the following example.

The minuend sign has changed from a positive to a negative, resulting in an incorrect dif-

ference; the Overflow Flag is set.

Another method for identifying an overflow is to observe the Carry to and out of the sign

bit. If there is a Carry in and no Carry out, or if there is no Carry in and a Carry out, then

an Overflow has occurred.

This flag is also used with logical operations and rotate instructions to indicate the result-

ing parity is even. The number of 1 bits in a byte are counted. If the total is Odd, ODD par-

ity is flagged (i.e., P = 0). If the total is even, even parity is flagged (i.e., P = 1).
