NEG destination
Logic: destination . -destination ; two's complement
NEG subtracts the destination operand from 0 and returns the result in
the destination. This effectively produces the two's complement of the
operand. The operand may be a byte or a word.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operands Clocks Transfers Bytes Example
byte(word)
register 3 - 2 NEG DL
memory 16(24) + EA 2 2-4 NEG COEFFICIENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: If the operand is zero, the carry flag is cleared;
in all other cases, the carry flag is set.
Attempting to negate a byte containing -128 or a
word containing -32,768 causes no change to the
operand and sets the Overflow Flag.
