8086 Instruction Set: Decimal Adjust After Addition

The DAA instruction is used to adjust the result of decimal addition to produce the correct binary coded decimal (BCD) value. It is used after an addition instruction to correct the sum if the result of the addition produced a value greater than 9 in either the low or high nibble. The example demonstrates adding the decimal values 38 and 45 using the ADD and DAA instructions. Without DAA, the incorrect binary result of 83 is produced, but with DAA, the correct BCD result of 83 is obtained.

Let us consider we want to add two decimal numbers 38 and 45.


If the value of the low-order If the value of the high-order
38 ---> 0011 1000 4-bits in the register is 4-bits in the register is greater
+ 45 ---> 0100 0101 greater than 9 or if AC flag than 9 or if the Carry flag is
