5.5.1 Addressing Modes for Control Instructions
Table 5-8 lists the addressing modes for the control instructions.
•
Relative addressing: The control instruction provides the target address as an 8-bit signed
offset (rel) from the address of the next instruction.
•
Direct addressing: The control instruction provides a target address, which can have 11 bits
(addr11), 16 bits (addr16), or 24 bits (addr24). The target address is written to the PC.
— addr11: Only the lower 11 bits of the PC are changed; i.e., the target address must be in
the current 2-Kbyte block (the 2-Kbyte block that includes the first byte of the next
instruction).
— addr16: Only the lower 16 bits of the PC are changed; i.e., the target address must be in
the current 64-Kbyte region (the 64-Kbyte region that includes the first byte of the next
instruction).
— addr24: The target address can be anywhere in the 16-Mbyte address space.
•
Indirect addressing: There are two types of indirect addressing for control instructions:
— For the instructions LCALL @WRj and LJMP @WRj, the target address is in the
current 64-Kbyte region. The 16-bit address in WRj is placed in the lower 16 bits of the
PC. The upper eight bits of the PC remain unchanged from the address of the next
instruction.
— For the instruction JMP @A+DPTR, the sum of the accumulator and DPTR is placed in
the lower 16 bits of the PC, and the upper eight bits of the PC are FF:, which restricts
the target address to the code memory space of the MCS 51 architecture.
