BIT is a 65x instruction that performs a logical AND operation between the accumulator and memory without storing the conjunction. If the conjunction is zero, the zero flag is set, otherwise it is cleared.

Except in immediate addressing, the most significant bit of the data located at the effective address is moved into the negative flag, and the second most significant bit of that data is moved into the overflow flag. BIT is often used right before a conditional branch instruction like BVC or BVS.

Syntax

BIT #const
BIT addr
BIT dp
BIT addr, X
BIT dp, X

Cycle Penalties

BIT takes an extra cycle when the accumulator is 16 bits wide, in all addressing modes
In direct page addressing modes, BIT takes an extra cycle when the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero
In Absolute Indexed, X Addressing, BIT takes an extra cycle when adding the index crosses a page boundary

+'''BIT''' is a 65x instruction that performs a logical AND operation between the [[accumulator]] and memory without storing the conjunction.  If the conjunction is zero, the [[zero flag]] is set, otherwise it is cleared.
+Except in [[immediate addressing]], the most significant bit of the data located at the effective address is moved into the [[negative flag]], and the second most significant bit of that data is moved into the [[overflow flag]].  BIT is often used right before a conditional branch instruction like [[BVC]] or [[BVS]].
