In the Motorola M68HC11 microcontroller's condition code registers, there are 8 bytes,one each for S, X, H, I, N, Z, V, and C.

The H bit represents a carry from bit 3 during an addition operation. The N bit represents the state of the most significant bit (aka MSB)of a result. The Z bit is the set when all bits of the result are zeros. The V bit indicates if a 2's complement overflow has occurred from an operation. The C bit indicates if a carry from an addition or borrow has occurred from a subtraction.

Merge?

I'd suggest merging, its the same thing It seems wasteful to have articles on condition code registers, status register, and flag byte. Should at least this one be merged with status register, or merge all three? --Mike Van Emmerik 02:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
