External RAM. Table 10 shows a list of the Data
Transfer instructions that access external Data
Memory. Only indirect addressing can be used.
The choice is whether to use a one-byte address,
@Ri, where Ri can be either R0 or R1 of the se-
lected register bank, or a two-byte
address, @DTPR.
Note: In all external Data RAM accesses, the Ac-
cumulator is always either the destination or
source of the data.
Lookup Tables. Table 11 shows the two instruc-
tions that are available for reading lookup tables in
Program Memory. Since these instructions access
only Program Memory, the lookup tables can only
be read, not updated.
The mnemonic is MOVC for “move constant.” The
first MOVC instruction in Table
11 can accommo-
date a table of up to 256 entries numbered 0
through 255. The number of the desired entry is
loaded into the Accumulator, and the Data Pointer
is set up to point to the beginning of the table.
Then:
MOVC A, @A+DPTR
copies the desired table entry into the Accumula-
tor.
The other MOVC instruction works the same way,
except the Program Counter (PC) is used as the
table base, and the table is accessed through a
subroutine. First the number of the desired en-try
is loaded into the Accumulator, and the subroutine
is called:
MOV A , ENTRY NUMBER
CALL TABLE
The subroutine “TABLE” would look like this:
TABLE: MOVC A , @A+PC
RET
The table itself immediately follows the RET (re-
turn) instruction is Program Memory. This type of
table can have up to 255 entries, numbered 1
through 255. Number 0 cannot be used, because
at the time the MOVC instruction is executed, the
PC contains the address of the RET instruction.
An entry numbered 0 would be the RET opcode it-
self.
