The lower 128 Bytes of RAM (see Figure 11) are accessible from address 00h to 7Fh
using direct or indirect addressing modes. The lowest 32 Bytes are grouped into 4
banks of 8 registers (R0 to R7). Two bits RS0 and RS1 in PSW register (see Figure 18)
select which bank is in use according to Table 16. This allows more efficient use of code
space, since register instructions are shorter than instructions that use direct address-
ing, and can be used for context switching in interrupt service routines.

The next 16 Bytes above the register banks form a block of bit-addressable memory
space. The C51 instruction set includes a wide selection of single-bit instructions, and
the 128 bits in this area can be directly addressed by these instructions. The bit
addresses in this area are 00h to 7Fh.

The upper 128 Bytes of RAM are accessible from address 80h to FFh using only indirect
addressing mode.
The on-chip 1024 Bytes of expanded RAM (XRAM) are accessible from address 0000h
to 03FFh using indirect addressing mode through MOVX instructions. In this address
range, the bit EXTRAM in AUXR register is used to select the XRAM (default) or the
XRAM. As shown in Figure 11 when EXTRAM = 0, the XRAM is selected and when
EXTRAM = 1, the XRAM is selected.
The size of XRAM can be configured by XRS1-0 bit in AUXR register (default size is
1024 Bytes).
Note:
Lower 128 Bytes RAM, Upper 128 Bytes RAM, and expanded RAM are made of volatile
memory cells. This means that the RAM content is indeterminate after power-up and
must then be initialized properly.
