Hello Am a Beginner.. I know LXI Rp,address(16 bit) is an 3 byte instruction. and M/Cs =3 But am curious to know that.. if the contents are address then of course its going to perform a Memory Read operation. Then why not we consider 4 m/cs instead of 3. 1: opcode fetch 2: operand fetch 3: operand fetch 4: memory Read ???
Get the manual for your microprocessor (you don't mention the type) and check the instruction. It'll show you.
Oh am extremely sorry for that duplicate post. Its an 8085 microprocessor am studying about. Please help me to clear the above query.
oh yes... Thank you! Thank you! its just the data(the address) thats going to be loaded into the Register pair... and not the contents of that address. So no Memory operation here.. Thank you very much !!
