The document describes the stack and machine control group of instructions for the 8085 microprocessor. It includes instructions for pushing/popping registers onto/from the stack, loading the stack pointer, exchanging registers with the stack pointer, no operation, halting the processor, enabling/disabling interrupts, and setting/reading the interrupt mask. Examples are provided for each instruction.

1. PUSH RP:
Description - When this instruction is executed the contents of the specified
register pair are copied onto the stack.
Operation - Higher order RP-----> (SP-1)
Lower order RP-----> (SP-2)
(SP-2) ------> SP
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.

Example - PUSH B
Before Execution After Execution
BC = 1020 H BC = 1020 H
SP = 2FFF H SP-1 = 2FFE H = 10H
SP-2 = 2FFD H = 20H
SP = 2FFD H
2. POP RP:
Description - When this instruction is executed the contents of the memory
location pointed by the stack pointer register are copied to the low
order register of register pair. The stack pointer is incremented by
one and the content of that memory location are copied to the
higher order register of register pair.
Operation - SP-----> Lower order RP
(SP+1)-----> Higher order RP
(SP+2) ------> SP
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - POP B
Before Execution After Execution
BC = 4035 H BC = 1020 H
SP = 2FFD H = 20H C = 20H
SP+1 = 2FFE H = 10H B = 10H
SP+2 = 2FFF H SP = 2FFF H
3. SPHL:
Description - Load stack pointer with content of HL register pair.
Operation - HL -----> SP
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - SPHL
Before Execution After Execution
HL = 2040 H HL = 2040 H
SP = 3000 H SP = 2040 H

4. XTHL:
Description - Exchange HL register pair with top of stack.
Operation - L <-----> SP
H <-----> (SP+1)
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - XTHL
Before Execution After Execution
HL = 2040 H HL = 4637H
SP = 27FD H = 37H SP = 27FD H = 40H
SP + 1 = 27FE H = 46H SP + 1 = 27FE H = 20H
5. NOP (No operation)
Description - When this instruction is executed no operation is performed and
microprocessor will go for the next instruction after that.
Operation - PC + 1 <-----> PC
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - NOP
6. HLT
Description - When this instruction is executed microprocessor complete the
instruction and halts any further execution and enters the halt acknowledge
machine cycle.
Operation - ------
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - HLT

Description - This instruction is used to enable all maskable interrupts.
Operation - ------
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - EI
8. DI
Description - This instruction is used to disable all maskable interrupts.
Operation - ------
No. of Bytes- 1
Flags - No flags are modified.
Example - DI
