8085 program to convert an 8 bit BCD number into hexadecimal number

Problem – Write an assembly language program in 8085 microprocessor to convert an 8 bit BCD number into hexadecimal number.

Assumptions – Assume that starting address of the program is 2000, input memory locations, 2050, 2051, and output memory location is 2052.

Example –

INPUT: 2050:02H
       2051: 09H

OUTPUT:2052: 1DH 

Algorithm –

1. Initialize memory pointer to 2050
2. Get the most significant digit
3. Multiply the MSD by 10 using repeated addition
4. Add LSD to result obtained in above step
5. Store the converted result in memory 2052

Program –

Memory Address	Mnemonics	Comments
2000	LXI H, 2050
2003	MOV A, M	A<-M
2004	ADD A	A<-A+A
2005	MOV B, A	B<-A
2006	ADD A	A<-A+A
2007	ADD A	A
2008	ADD B	A<-A+B
2009	INX H
200A	ADD M	A<-A+M
200B	INX H
200C	MOV M, A	M<-A
200D	HLT	TERMINATE THE PROGRAM

Explanation – Registers H, L, B, A are used for general purpose.

1. LXI H, 2050: will load the HL pair register with the address 2050 of memory location.
2. MOV A, M: copies the content of memory into register A.
3. ADD A: add the content of accumulator with itself.
4. MOV B, A: move the content of accumulator into register B.
5. ADD A: add the content of accumulator with itself.
6. ADD A: add the content of accumulator with itself.
7. ADD B: add the content of accumulator with register B and store the result in accumulator.
8. INX H: increment register pair HL.
9. ADD M: add the content of accumulator with memory and store the result in accumulator.
10. INX H: increment register pair HL.
11. MOV M, A: copies the content of accumulator into memory.
12. HLT: stops executing the program and halts any further execution.
