2.3 Data Formats
The H8/300L CPU can process 1-bit data, 4-bit (BCD) data, 8-bit (byte) data, and 16-bit (word)
data.
• Bit manipulation instructions operate on 1-bit data specified as bit n in a byte operand
(n = 0, 1, 2, ..., 7).
• All arithmetic and logic instructions except ADDS and SUBS can operate on byte data.
• The MOV.W, ADD.W, SUB.W, CMP.W, ADDS, SUBS, MULXU (8 bits × 8 bits), and
DIVXU (16 bits ÷ 8 bits) instructions operate on word data.
• The DAA and DAS instructions perform decimal arithmetic adjustments on byte data in
packed BCD form. Each nibble of the byte is treated as a decimal digit.
