STATUS REGISTER

The Status register, shown in Register 5-3, contains the

arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR, it

can be the operand for any instruction.

If the Status register is the destination for an instruction

that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results of the

instruction are not written; instead, the status is

updated according to the instruction performed. There-

fore, the result of an instruction with the Status register

as its destination may be different than intended. As an

example, CLRF STATUS, will set the Z bit and leave the

remaining Status bits unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).

It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF

and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the Status

C, DC, OV or N bits in the Status register.

For other instructions that do not affect Status bits, see

the instruction set summaries in Table 24-2 and

Table 24-3.

STATUS REGISTER

Note:

The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and

digit borrow bit, respectively, in subtraction.

bit 7

bit 0

bit 7-5

Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’

bit 4

N: Negative bit

This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates whether the result was

negative (ALU MSB = 1).

= Result was negative

= Result was positive

bit 3

OV: Overflow bit

This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates an overflow of the

7-bit magnitude, which causes the sign bit (bit 7) to change state.

= Overflow occurred for signed arithmetic (in this arithmetic operation)

= No overflow occurred

bit 2

Z: Zero bit

= The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is zero

= The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is not zero

bit 1

DC: Digit carry/borrow bit

For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:

= A carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result occurred

= No carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result

Note:

For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the

2’s complement of the second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit

is loaded with either bit 4 or bit 3 of the source register.

bit 0

C: Carry/borrow bit

For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:

= A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred

= No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred

Note:

For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the

2’s complement of the second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit

is loaded with either the high or low-order bit of the source register.

Legend:

R = Readable bit

W = Writable bit

U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

-n = Value at POR

‘1’ = Bit is set

‘0’ = Bit is cleared

x = Bit is unknown
