Sap 3: Push, Pop, Call Instruction
Note: The contents of the accumulator and the flag register are known as the Program Status Word (PSW). Format: PSW = AF A = content of the accumulator F = content of the flag register Note: Push instructions allow us to save data in a stack. PUSH B where: B = BC PUSH D D = DE PUSH H H = HL PUSH PSW PSW = Program Status Word Note: When a push instruction is executed the following things happen: 1. The stack pointer is decremented to get a new value of SP-1 2. The high byte in the specified register pair is stored in MSP-1 3. The stack pointer is decremented again to get SP-2 4. The low byte in the specified register pair is stored in MSP-2 Example 1: BC = 5612H SP = 2100H PUSH B
POP INSTRUCTIONS
POP B POP D POP H POP PSW Example 1: POP PSW POP H SP = 2OFAH AF = 9A25H HL = 5678H where: B stands for BC D stands for DE H stands for HL PSW for Program Status Word
