EOR is a 65x instruction that performs an exclusive or between its operand and the accumulator. The result is stored in the accumulator. The size of the accumulator determines whether 8 or 16 bits are EORed.

Syntax

EOR #const
EOR addr
EOR long
EOR dp
EOR (dp)
EOR [dp]
EOR addr, X
EOR long, X
EOR addr, Y
EOR dp, X
EOR (dp, X)
EOR (dp), Y
EOR [dp], Y
EOR sr, S
EOR (sr, S), Y

One example usage of EOR is to flip all the bits of the accumulator.

Cycle Penalties

• In all addressing modes, EOR takes one extra cycle when the accumulator is 16 bits wide.
• In direct page addressing modes, EOR takes one additional cycle if the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero.
• In both Absolute Indexed and DP Indirect Indexed, Y admodes, EOR takes an extra cycle if adding the index crosses a page boundary.
