Addressing Modes

An "addressing mode" refers to how you are addressing a given memory location. The addressing modes are as follows, with an example of each:
    Immediate Addressing                   MOV A, #10h
    Direct Addressing                   MOV A, #40h
    Indirect Addressing                   MOV A, @R0
    External Direct                                           MOVX A, @DPTR
    Code Indirect                    MOVC A, @A+DPTR
Each of these addressing modes provides important flexibility.

    General puprose registers in 8051.

    Image
    Well, in yesterday's podcast discussed on registers in 8051, two types of a register, general purpose registers are today's article all about. The general purpose registers are called as RAM memory in 8051. It has 128 bytes of memory for this general purpose registers. These general purpose registers are divided into 3 areas, those are  Banks. Bit addressable areas. scratchpad areas.                                     Let we discuss clearly, Banks    In this bank, 4 types of banks are there like  bank 0 bank 1 bank 2 bank 3 In each bank has 8 registers those are R0 to R7. All these general purpose registers are byte addressable registers. An image is shown in below for better understanding,                                     ...

    Serial Transmission Modes.

    Serial Transmission Modes Serial data can be transferred in two modes – asynchronous and synchronous. Asynchronous Data Transfer: Data Transfer is called Asynchronous when data bits are not “synchronized” with a clock line, i.e. there is no clock line at all! Let's take an analogy. Imagine you are playing a game with your friend where you have to throw coloured balls (let’s say we have only two colours – red (R) and yellow (Y)). Let's assume you have an unlimited number of balls. You have to throw a combination of these coloured balls to your friend. So you start throwing the balls. You throw R, then R, then Y, then R again and so on. So you start your sequence RRYR… and then you end your round and start another round. How will your buddy on the other side know that you have finished sending him the first round of balls and that you are already sending him the second round of balls?? He/she will be completely lost! How nice it would be if you both sit together and f...

    The data Pointer (DPTR)

    Image
    The Data Pointer (DPTR) is the 8051s only user-accessable 16-bit (2-byte) register. The Accumulator, "R" registers, and "B" register are all 1-byte values. DPTR, as the name suggests, is used to point to data. It is used by a number of commands which allow the 8051 to access external memory. When the 8051 accesses external memory it will access external memory at the address indicated by DPTR. While DPTR is most often used to point to data in external memory, many programmers often take advantge of the fact that its the only true 16-bit register available. It is often used to store 2-byte values which have nothing to do with memory locations. It consists of one 8-bit register for DPL and other 8-bit register for DPH.
