Decrement
DEC Byte Data Decrement
[Instruction format] DEC dst
[Operation] dst dst 1
[Operand]
Mnemonic Operand(dst)
DEC r
saddr
[Flag]
ZACCY
××
[Description]
The destination operand (dst) contents are decremented by only one.
If the decrement result is 0, the Z flag is set (1). In all other cases, the Z flag is cleared (0).
If the decrement generates a carry for bit 3 out of bit 4, the AC flag is set (1). In all other cases, the AC
flag is cleared (0).
Because this instruction is frequently used for decrement of a counter for repeated operations and an indexed
addressing offset register, the CY flag contents are not changed (to hold the CY flag contents in multiple-
byte operation).
If dst is the B or C register or saddr, and it is not desired to change the AC and CY flag contents, the DBNZ
instruction can be used.
[Description example]
DEC FE92H; The contents at address FE92H are decremented.
