Z80 CPU User Manual Architectural Overview Zilog’s Z80 CPU family of components are fourth-generation enhanced microprocessors with exceptional computational power. They offer higher system throughput and more efficient memory utilization than comparable second and third-generation microproces- sors. The speed offerings from 6–20 MHz suit a wide range of applications which migrate software.
Z80 CPU User Manual CPU Register The Z80 CPU contains 208 bits of read/write memory that are available to the program- mer. Figure 2 shows how this memory is configured to eighteen 8-bit registers and four 16-bit registers. All Z80 CPU’s registers are implemented using static RAM. The registers include two sets of six general-purpose registers that can be used individually as 8-bit reg- isters or in pairs as 16-bit registers.
Z80 CPU User Manual The two independent index registers hold a 16-bit base Two Index Registers (IX and IY). address that is used in indexed addressing modes. In this mode, an index register is used as a base to point to a region in memory from which data is to be stored or retrieved. An addi- tional byte is included in indexed instructions to specify a displacement from this base.
Z80 CPU User Manual isters are used for a wide range of applications. They also simplify programing, specifi- cally in ROM-based systems in which little external read/write memory is available. Arithmetic Logic Unit The 8-bit arithmetic and logical instructions of the CPU are executed in the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU).

Note: Power-Down Acknowledge Cycle When the clock input to the Z80 CPU is stopped at either a High or Low level, the Z80 CPU stops its operation and maintains all registers and control signals.
Z80 CPU User Manual Power-Down Release Cycle The system clock must be supplied to the Z80 CPU to release the power-down state. When the system clock is supplied to the CLK input, the Z80 CPU restarts operations from the point at which the power-down state was implemented. The timing diagrams for the release from power-down mode are featured in Figures 13 through 15.
Z80 CPU User Manual HALT Figure 15. Power-Down Release Cycle, #3 of 3 Interrupt Response An interrupt allows peripheral devices to suspend CPU operation and force the CPU to start a peripheral service routine. This service routine usually involves the exchange of data, status, or control information between the CPU and the peripheral.
Z80 CPU User Manual The state of IFF1 is used to inhibit interrupts while IFF2 is used as a temporary storage location for IFF1. A CPU reset forces both the IFF1 and IFF2 to the reset state, which disables interrupts. Interrupts can be enabled at any time by an EI instruction from the programmer.

RETN Instruction IFF2 IFF2 → Indicates completion of Execution nonmaskable interrupt service routine. CPU Response The CPU always accepts a nonmaskable interrupt. When this nonmaskable interrupt is accepted, the CPU ignores the next instruction that it fetches and instead performs a restart at address .
Z80 CPU User Manual In Mode 2, the programmer maintains a table of 16-bit starting addresses for every inter- rupt service routine. This table can be located anywhere in memory. When an interrupt is accepted, a 16-bit pointer must be formed to obtain the required interrupt service routine starting address from the table.

Page 47
Z80 CPU User Manual An example of an arithmetic operation is adding the Accumulator to the contents of an external memory location. The results of the addition are placed in the Accumulator. This group also includes 16-bit addition and subtraction between 16-bit CPU registers. The rotate and shift group allows any register or any memory location to be rotated right or left, with or without carry, and either arithmetic or logical.
Z80 CPU User Manual Addressing Modes Most of the Z80 instructions operate on data stored in internal CPU registers, external memory, or in the I/O ports. Addressing refers to how the address of this data is generated in each instruction. This section is a brief summary of the types of addressing used in the Z80 CPU while subsequent sections detail the type of addressing available for each instruction group.
Z80 CPU User Manual Modified Page Zero Addressing The Z80 contains a special single-byte CALL instruction to any of eight locations in Page 0 of memory. This instruction, which is referred to as a restart, sets the Program Counter to an effective address in Page 0.
Z80 CPU User Manual Extended Addressing Extended Addressing provides for two bytes (16 bits) of address to be included in the instruction. This data can be an address to which a program can jump or it can be an address at which an operand is located. One or Op Code Two Bytes...
Z80 CPU User Manual complement number. Indexed addressing greatly simplifies programs using tables of data because the index register can point to the start of any table. Two index registers are pro- vided because often operations require two or more tables. Indexed addressing also allows for relocatable code.

Z80 CPU User Manual Instruction Op Codes This section describes each of the Z80 instructions and provides tables listing the op codes for every instruction. In each of these tables, the op codes in shaded areas are identical to those offered in the 8080A CPU. Also depicted is the assembly language mnemonic that is used for each instruction.
Z80 CPU User Manual Load and Exchange Table 6 defines the op codes for all of the 8-bit load instructions implemented in the Z80 CPU. Also described in this table is the type of addressing used for each instruction. The source of the data is found on the top horizontal row and the destination is specified in the left column.
Z80 CPU User Manual Descriptions of the 8-Bit Load Group instructions begin on page 70. Note: The parentheses around the HL indicate that the contents of HL are used as a pointer to a memory location. In all Z80 load instruction mnemonics, the destination is always listed first, with the source following.
Z80 CPU User Manual Op Code Address A low-order Address high-order Address Figure 33. Example of a 3-Byte Load Extended Instruction Sequence In this figure, note that the low-order portion of the address is always the first operand. The load immediate instructions for the general-purpose 8-bit registers are two-byte instructions.
Z80 CPU User Manual In this figure, note that with any indexed addressing, the displacement always follows directly after the op code. Table 7 specifies the 16-bit load operations, for which the extended addressing feature covers all register pairs. Register indirect operations specifying the stack pointer are the PUSH and POP instructions.
Z80 CPU User Manual Descriptions of the 16-Bit Load Group instructions begin on page 98. Note: These 16-bit load operations differ from other 16-bit loads in that the stack pointer is auto- matically decremented and incremented as each byte is pushed onto or popped from the stack, respectively.

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.
Z80 CPU User Manual During the CPI, CPIR, CPD, and CPDR search instructions and the LDI, LDIR, LDD, and LDDR block transfer instructions, the P/V Flag monitors the state of the Byte Count (BC) Register. When decrementing, if the byte counter decrements to 0, the flag is cleared to 0; otherwise the flag is set to1.
Z80 CPU User Manual Sign Flag The Sign Flag (S) stores the state of the most-significant bit of the Accumulator (bit 7). When the Z80 CPU performs arithmetic operations on signed numbers, the binary twos- complement notation is used to represent and process numeric information. A positive number is identified by a 0 in Bit 7.
