LSR (Logical Shift Right) is a 65x instruction that shifts every bit of a value one bit to the right (division by two). The most significant bit and negative flag are cleared. The least significant bit is shifted into the carry flag.

The size of the accumulator determines how many bits are shifted (8 or 16).

Syntax

LSR
LSR A
LSR addr
LSR dp
LSR addr, X
LSR dp, X

Cycle Penalties

• Except in accumulator addressing, LSR takes an extra two cycles when the accumulator is 16 bits wide
• In direct page addressing modes, LSR takes another extra cycle if the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero.
