PIC12F683
For example, CLRF STATUS, will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the Status register as
000u u1uu(where u= unchanged).
2.2.2.1
Status Register
The Status register, shown in Register 2-1, contains:
• Arithmetic status of the ALU
• Reset status
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
Status register, because these instructions do not affect
any Status bits. For other instructions not affecting any
Status bits, see the “Instruction Set Summary”.
• Bank select bits for data memory (SRAM)
The Status register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the Status register
is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z,
DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
Status register as destination may be different than
intended.
Note 1: Bits IRP and RP1 (Status<7:6>) are not
used by the PIC12F683 and should be
maintained as clear. Use of these bits is
not recommended, since this may affect
upward compatibility with future products.
2: The C and DC bits operate as a Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bit, respectively, in
subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.

IRP: This bit is reserved and should be maintained as ‘0’

RP0: Register Bank Select bit (used for direct addressing)
1= Bank 1 (80h–FFh)
0= Bank 0 (00h–7Fh)
bit 4
bit 3
bit 2
bit 1
TO: Time-out bit
1= After power-up, CLRWDTinstruction or SLEEPinstruction
0= A WDT time-out occurred
PD: Power-down bit
1= After power-up or by the CLRWDTinstruction
0= By execution of the SLEEPinstruction
Z: Zero bit
1= The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is zero
0= The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is not zero
DC: Digit carry/borrow bit (ADDWF, ADDLW,SUBLW,SUBWFinstructions)
For borrow, the polarity is reversed.
1= A carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result occurred
0= No carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result
bit 0
C: Carry/borrow bit (ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW, SUBWF instructions)
1= A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
0= No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
Note 1: For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s
complement of the second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is
loaded with either the high or low-order bit of the source register.
