sra

Shift right arithmetic

Shifts a register or memory byte right one bit, keeping bit 7 and copying bit 0 to C.

SZHP/VNC ●●0●0●
  • ● set from the result
  • 0 always 0

Forms

  • The contents of r are shifted right one bit position. The contents of bit 0 are copied to the carry flag and the previous contents of bit 7 are unchanged.

  • sra 2 bytes · 15 cycles

    The contents of (HL) are shifted right one bit position. The contents of bit 0 are copied to the carry flag and the previous contents of bit 7 are unchanged.

  • The contents of the memory location pointed to by IX plus dd are shifted right one bit position. The contents of bit 0 are copied to the carry flag and the previous contents of bit 7 are unchanged.

Undocumented 1 row

Left out of Zilog's manual, but the Z80 runs them, and so does this emulator.

  • The contents of the memory location pointed to by IX plus dd are shifted right one bit position. The contents of bit 0 are copied to the carry flag and the previous contents of bit 7 are unchanged. The result is then stored in r.

Operands

r
An 8-bit register: a, b, c, d, e, h or l.
(hl)
The byte in memory at the address stored in hl. More
(ix+dd)
The byte in memory at ix + dd, where dd is a signed displacement from -128 to 127, for example (ix+5) or (ix-3). (iy+dd) works the same way. More
