FLAGS REGISTER (FLAGS)
The flags register FLAGS contains eight bits that describe the current status of CPU operations. Four of these
bits, FLAGS.7–FLAGS.4, can be tested and used with conditional jump instructions; two others FLAGS.3 and
FLAGS.2 are used for BCD arithmetic.
The FLAGS register also contains a bit to indicate the status of fast interrupt processing (FLAGS.1) and a bank
address status bit (FLAGS.0) to indicate whether bank 0 or bank 1 is currently being addressed. FLAGS register
can be set or reset by instructions as long as its outcome does not affect the flags, such as, Load instruction.
Logical and Arithmetic instructions such as, AND, OR, XOR, ADD, and SUB can affect the Flags register. For
example, the AND instruction updates the Zero, Sign and Overflow flags based on the outcome of the AND
instruction. If the AND instruction uses the Flags register as the destination, then simultaneously, two write will
occur to the Flags register producing an unpredictable result.
