Jump if parity even (JPE) in 8085 Microprocessor

In 8085 Instruction set, we are having one mnemonic JPE a16, which stands for “Jump if Parity Even” and “a16” stands for any 16-bit address. This instruction is used to jump to the address a16 as provided in the instruction. But as it is a conditional jump so it will happen if and only if the present parity flag value is 1. If the parity flag value is 0, program flow continues sequentially. It is a 3-Byte instruction.

Let us consider one example of this instruction type JPE 4000H. It is a 3-Byte instruction. The result of execution of this instruction is shown below with an example.

MVI A,40
A ← 40H

MVI B,40
B ← 40H

90
SUB B
A ← A – B= 40H – 40H = 00H. As the result is 00H = 0000 000B, so the Pflag bit will be 1

EA
JPE 4000
Jump Parity Even, i.e. Jump when P = 1, as the subtraction result is 00H, so P flag bit will remain with value 1
2006
00


Low order Byte of the target address
2007
40


High order Byte of the target address
PC ← 4000H, So the program control will be transferred to the address 4000H
2008

MOV A, B
This instruction will not get control now as JPE will transfer the control to the memory address 4000H
….
….
….
….
4000
41
MOV B, C
Next instruction at address 4000H will get the control


The timing diagram against this instruction JPE 4000H execution is as follows –

Summary − So this instruction JPErequires 3-Bytes, 3-Machine Cycles (Opcode Fetch, Memory Read, MemoryRead) and 10 T-States for execution as shown in the timing diagram.
