Description

The source and destination operands are exclusive ORed. The result is placed

 

into the destination. The source operand is not affected.

Status Bits

N: Set if result MSB is set, reset if not set

 

 

Z: Set if result is zero, reset otherwise

 

 

C: Set if result is not zero, reset otherwise ( = .NOT. Zero)

 

V: Set if both operands are negative

 

Mode Bits

OSCOFF, CPUOFF, and GIE are not affected.

Example

The bits set in R6 toggle the bits in the RAM word TONI.

 

XOR

R6,TONI

 

; Toggle bits of word TONI on the bits set in R6

Example

The bits set in R6 toggle the bits in the RAM byte TONI.

 

XOR.B

R6,TONI

 

; Toggle bits of byte TONI on the bits set in

 

 

 

 

; low byte of R6

 

Example

Reset to 0 those bits in low byte of R7 that are different from bits in RAM byte

 

EDE.

 

 

 

 

 

XOR.B

EDE,R7

 

; Set different bit to “1s”

 

INV.B

R7

 

; Invert Lowbyte, Highbyte is 0h
