    Rotate Instruction

    The document discusses using the accumulator as a shift and rotate register in assembly programming. It describes rotate instructions that rotate the bits of the accumulator either right or left. There are also rotate instructions that rotate through the carry bit, effectively creating a 9-bit rotate register. To implement a shift register, the rotate through carry instructions are used while first clearing the carry bit. Code examples are provided to shift the contents of the accumulator right or left a specified number of times.

    The Accumulator

    as a Shift and a
    Rotate Register
       
    As we shall see, the ability to use the accumulator as a shift register is very
    useful in assembly programming. Almost all microcontrollers allow the
      programmer to use some register in this fashion. The 8051 has a number
    of instructions, known as the rotate instructions, that rotate the bits around
    the accumulator.
       
      RR A
    This instruction is rotate right the accumulator. Its operation is illustrated
     
    below:

    Each bit is shifted one location to the right, with bit 0 going to bit 7.
       
      RL A
      Rotate left the accumulator.

    Each bit is shifted one location to the left, with bit 7 going to bit 0.
       
       
      Rotating through the Carry
      There are two instructions that, in effect, create a 9-bit rotate register.
       
      RRC A
      Rotate right through the carry.

      Each bit is shifted one location to the right, with bit 0 going into the carry
    bit in the PSW, while the carry was at goes into bit 7 (ie; if the carry was
    set prior to the execution of RRC A, then bit 7 of the accumulator will
    contain 1 after execution of RRC A. Similarly, if the carry was clear prior
    to execution of RRC A, then bit 7 of the accumulator will contain 0 after
    execution of RRC A).
       
      RLC A
      Rotate left through the carry.

    Each bit is shifted one location to the left, with bit 7 going into the carry
    bit in the PSW, while the carry goes into bit 0.
       
       
      Shift Register
    So far, we have seen how to use the accumulator as a rotate register. But
    what if we need a shift register? With a right shift register, the LSB is
    dropped off the edge and the MSB is replaced by zero. With a left shift
      register, the MSB is dropped of the edge and the LSB is replaced by 0. All
    the instructions above result in either the LSB going into the MSB (in the
    case of right rotate) or the MSB going into the LSB (in the case of left
    rotate).
    To achieve shift register functions, we use the rotate through carry
     
    instructions, making sure the carry is zero beforehand.
       
      Right Shift Register
    The code below could be used for shifting the contents of the accumulator
      to the right a number of times. The number of times is specified by the
    value in R0.
       
      shiftRight:
    CJNE R0, #0, skip
      RET
      skip:
    PUSH PSW
      PUSH AR0
      again:
    CLR C
    RRC A
    DJNZ R0, again
     
    POP AR0
    POP PSW
    RET
       
      Left Shift Register
      Obviously, to create a left shift register the code would be the same as that
    above, except the instruction RRC A is replaced by RLC A.
