Special Function Register Description
Most of the Special Function Register details will be described in the relevant functional section,
however several registers require a separate description in this section.
Indirect Addressing Registers – IAR0, IAR1, IAR2
The Indirect Addressing Registers, IAR0, IAR1 and IAR
2
, although having their locations in normal
RAM register space, do not actually physically exist as normal registers. The method of indirect
addressing for RAM data manipulation uses these Indirect Addressing Registers and Memory
Pointers, in contrast to direct memory addressing, where the actual memory address is specified.
Actions on the IAR0, IAR1 and IAR
2
registers will result in no actual read or write operation to
these registers but rather to the memory location specified by their corresponding Memory Pointers,
MP0
, MP1L/MP1H
or MP
2L/MP2H. Acting as a pair, IAR0 and MP0 can together access data
from Sector 0 while the IAR1 register together with MP1L/MP1H register pair and IAR2 register
together with MP2L/MP2H register pair can access data from any sector. As the Indirect Addressing
Registers are not physically implemented, reading the Indirect Addressing Registers directly will
return a result of "00H" and writing to the registers directly will result in no operation.
Memory Pointers – MP0, MP1L/MP1H, MP2L/MP2H
Five Memory Pointers, known as MP0, MP1L, MP1H, MP2L and MP
2H
are provided. These
Memory Pointers are physically implemented in the Data Memory and can be manipulated in the
same way as normal registers providing a convenient way with which to address and track data.
When any operation to the relevant Indirect Addressing Registers is carried out, the actual address
that the microcontroller is directed to is the address specified by the related Memory Pointer. MP0,
together with Indirect Addressing Register, IAR0, are used to access data from Sector 0, while MP1L/
MP1H together with IAR1 and MP2L/MP2H together with IAR2 are used to access data from all
sectors according to the corresponding MP1H or MP2H register. Direct Addressing can be used
in all
sectors using the correspongding instruction which can address all available data memory space
.
The following example shows how to clear a section of four Data Memory locations already defined
as locations adres1 to adres4.
Indirect Addressing Program Example
Example 1

start:
mov a,04h ; setup size of block
mov block,a
mov a,offset adres1 ; Accumulator loaded with first RAM address
mov mp0,a ; setup memory pointer with first RAM address
loop:
clr IAR0 ; clear the data at address defined by mp0
