XORWF Exclusive OR W with f
Syntax: XORWF  f {,d {,a}}
Operands: 0 ≤ f ≤ 255
d ∈ [0,1]
a ∈ [0,1]
Operation: (W) .XOR. (f) → dest
Status Affected: N, Z
Encoding: 0001 10da ffff ffff
Description: Exclusive OR the contents of W with 
register ‘f’. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is stored 
in W. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is stored back 
in the register ‘f’ (default). 
If ‘a’ is ‘0’, the Access Bank is selected. 
If ‘a’ is ‘1’, the BSR is used to select the 
GPR bank (default). 
If ‘a’ is ‘0’ and the extended instruction 
set is enabled, this instruction operates 
in Indexed Literal Offset Addressing 
mode whenever f ≤ 95 (5Fh). See 
Section 26.2.3 “Byte-Oriented and 
Bit-Oriented Instructions in Indexed 
Literal Offset Mode” for details.
