MEMORY ADDRESSING MODES
The processor provides nine modes for addressing operands in memory. Each addressing mode is used
to reference a byte location in the processor’s address space.
Table 2-3
shows the memory addressing
modes and a brief description of each mode’s address elements and assembly code syntax.
