ADC (Add with Carry) is 65x instruction that performs an addition. As there is no add-without-carry instruction, a CLC should be run (or the carry flag otherwise ensured to be clear) before an ADC, or else the sum will be one greater than expected.

The accumulator is always both one of the addends and where the sum is stored.

After ADC runs, the carry flag will indicate whether the addition caused an unsigned overflow. The zero flag will be set if the sum is zero and cleared otherwise.

If the decimal flag is set, then binary coded decimal addition is performed, otherwise binary addition.

Cycle Penalties

ADC takes an extra cycle for each of the following:

• if the accumulator is 16 bits wide, in all addressing modes
• when utilizing the direct register, if the low byte of the direct register is nonzero
• in certain addressing modes if adding an index crosses a page boundary
