When the result of an operation falls beyond this range, an overflow occurs

 Overflow

• Signed Overflow
• Unsigned Overflow

In an arithmetic operation both signed

and unsigned overflow can occur
simultaneously.

 Overflow vs Carry
• CF=1 for unsigned overflow
• OF=1 for signed overflow
• Processor does not interpret the result as
either signed or unsigned
• Its up to the programmer to interpret the
result and depending upon the convention
he is following, he will use a flag and
overlook the other

 Flags for Logic Instructions

• SF,ZF,PF are updated after each logical

instruction
• CF=0 and OF=0
• NOT doesnot affect any status flags

 Shift Instruction
• Opcode destination, 1
• Opcode destination, CL ; cl>1
• Shifts destination bit pattern at specified
direction
• Handy alternative of mul/div

CF=last bit shifted out

OF=1; if sign changes
