Special Purpose Data Memory
This area of Data Memory is where registers, necessary
for the correct operation of the microcontroller, are
stored. Most of the registers are both read and write type
but some are protected and are read only, the details of
which are located under the relevant Special Function
Register section. Note that for locations that are unused,
any read instruction to these addresses will return the
value ²00H².
Special Function Registers
To ensure successful operation of the microcontroller,
certain internal registers are implemented in the Data
Memory area. These registers ensure correct operation
of internal functions such as timers, interrupts, etc., as
well as external functions such as I/O data control and
A/D converter operation. The location of these registers
within the Data Memory begins at the address ²00H².
Any unused Data Memory locations between these spe-
cial function registers and the point where the General
Purpose Memory begins is reserved for future expan-
sion purposes, attempting to read data from these loca-
tions will return a value of ²00H².
Indirect Addressing Register - IAR0, IAR1
The Indirect Addressing Registers, IAR0 and IAR1, al-
though having their locations in normal RAM register
space, do not actually physically exist as normal regis-
ters. The method of indirect addressing for RAM data
manipulation uses these Indirect Addressing Registers
and Memory Pointers, in contrast to direct memory ad-
dressing, where the actual memory address is speci-
fied. Actions on the IAR0 and IAR1 registers will result in
no actual read or write operation to these registers but
rather to the memory location specified by their corre-
sponding Memory Pointer, MP0 or MP1. As the Indirect
Addressing Registers are not physically implemented,
reading the Indirect Addressing Registers indirectly will
return a result of ²00H² and writing to the registers indi-
rectly will result in no operation.
Memory Pointer - MP0, MP1
For all devices, two Memory Pointers, known as MP0
and MP1 are provided. These Memory Pointers are
physically implemented in the Data Memory and can be
manipulated in the same way as normal registers pro-
viding a convenient way with which to address and track
data. When any operation to the relevant Indirect Ad-
dressing Registers is carried out, the actual address that
the microcontroller is directed to, is the address speci-
fied by the related Memory Pointer.
The following example shows how to clear a section of
four RAM locations already defined as locations adres1
to adres4.

start:

mov block,a
mov a,offset adres1
mov mp0,a
; setup size of block
; Accumulator loaded with first RAM address
; setup memory pointer with first RAM address
loop:
clr IAR0
inc mp0
sdz block
jmp loop
; clear the data at address defined by MP0
; increment memory pointer
; check if last memory location has been cleared
continue:
The important point to note here is that in the example shown above, no reference is made to specific RAM addresses.
