Adds the source operand to the destination operand using binary addition and stores the result in the destination location. The size of the operation may be specified as byte, word, or long. The mode of the instruction indicates which operand is the source and which is the destination, as well as the operand size.

Flags:

X Set the same as the carry bit
N Set if the result is negative; cleared otherwise
Z Cleared if the result is nonzero; set if zero
V Set if an overflow occurs; cleared otherwise
C Set if a carry is generated; cleared otherwise

1. If the location specified is a source operand, all addressing modes can be used as listed in the following table:
Dn000Dn(xxx).W111000
An [1]001An(xxx).L111001
(An)010An#<data>111100
(An)+011An
-(An)100An
(D16,An)101An(D16,PC)111010
(D8,An,Xn)110An(D8,PC,Xn)111011
1. Word and long only
2. If the location specified is a destination operand, only memory alterable addressing modes can be used as listed in the following table:
Dn(xxx).W111000
An(xxx).L111001
(An)010An#<data>
(An)+011An
-(An)100An
(D16,An)101An(D16,PC)
(D8,An,Xn)110An(D8,PC,Xn)
Note
1. The Dn mode is used when the destination is a data register.
2. The destination ea is invalid for a data register.
3. ADDA is used when the destination is an address register.
4. ADDI and ADDQ are used when the source is immediate data.
5. Most assemblers handle the distinction between ADD, ADDI and ADDQ
