x86 Instruction Set Reference

MOVZX

Move with Zero-Extend

Opcode Mnemonic Description
0F B6 /r MOVZX r16,r/m8 Move byte to word with zero-extension.
0F B6 /r MOVZX r32,r/m8 Move byte to doubleword, zero-extension.
0F B7 /r MOVZX r32,r/m16 Move word to doubleword, zero-extension.
Description

Copies the contents of the source operand (register or memory location) to the destination operand (register) and zero extends the value to 16 or 32 bits. The size of the converted value depends on the operand-size attribute.
Operation 
Destination = ZeroExtend(Source);
Flags affected

None.

#SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#PF(fault-code)If a page fault occurs.
Real-Address Mode Exceptions
#GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions
#GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
