8051 Addressing Modes

The document discusses the different addressing modes of the 8051 microcontroller, including immediate, register, direct, register indirect, and indexed addressing. It provides examples of instructions using each addressing mode and explains how they allow accessing data from registers, memory locations, and ports in different ways. Register indirect addressing uses registers like R0 and R1 as pointers to access data, while indexed addressing combines the DPTR and A registers to access lookup tables in ROM.

ADDRESSING

MODES OF 8051
DEFINITION
• The CPU can access the data in various ways.

• The data could be in a register, or in memory or


be provided as an immediate value.
• The method of specifying the data to be operated
by the instruction is called addressing.
• The different ways that a microprocessor can
access data are referred to as addressing modes.
CLASSIFICATION
• There are 5 addressing modes supported by
8051 microcontroller.
1.Immediate
2.Register
3.Direct
4. Register indirect
5. Indexed
IMMEDIATE ADDRESSING
• In this addressing mode the source operand is
constant.
• In immediate addressing mode, when the instruction is
assembled, the operand comes immediately after the
op-code.

• The immediate data must be preceded by ‘#’ sign.

• This addressing mode can be used to load information


into any of the register, including the DPTR.
EXAMPLE…
•MOV A,#25H - Load 25H in to A

•MOV R4,#62 - Load the decimal value 62


into R4.
• MOV DPTR,#4532H – Load DPTR=4532H
• MOV DPH,#45H
• MOV DPL,#32H
CONTINUE…
• This addressing mode can be used to send
data to 8051 ports.
• MOV P1, #55 H
REGISTER ADDRESSING
• Register addressing mode involves the use
of registers to hold the data to be
manipulated.
• In this addressing, registers (R0 to R7 from
the selected register bank), accumulator, B-
register and DPTR are used.
CONTINUE…
• The source and destination registers should
be of same size.
• The data can be moved from A register to Rn
register. But movement of data between Rn
registers are not allowed.
EXAMPLE…
• MOV A,R0 - copy the contents of R0 in to A.

• MOV R2,A - copy the contents of A in to R2.

• ADD A,R5 - add the content of R5 to content of


A.
• MOV R7,DPL - copy the contents of DPL in to
R7.
• MOV R4,R3 – Invalid instruction.
DIRECT ADDRESSING
• In direct addressing mode, the data is in a RAM

memory location whose address is known, and this

address is given as a part of the instruction.

• Contrast this with the immediate addressing mode in

which the operand itself is provided with the

instruction.

• The sign “#” distinguishes between the two

addressing modes.
CONTINUE…
• This addressing mode is limited to accessing RAM
locations (00 – FF H) and registers located inside the
8051.
• Only direct addressing mode is allowed for pushing
onto the stack.
• Therefore an instruction ‘PUSH A’ is invalid.

• Pushing the accumulator onto the stack must be coded


as ‘PUSH 0E0 H’. (Address of A register is 0E0)
EXAMPLE…
• MOV R0,40H - save content of RAM location 40h
into R0.
• MOV 56H,A - save content of A in RAM location
56H.
• MOV A, 02 – is same as

MOV A,R2 – which means copy R2 into A


REGISTER INDIRECT ADDRESSING
• In the register indirect addressing mode, a register
is used as a pointer to the data.
• If the data is inside the CPU, only register R0 and
R1 are used for this purpose.
• In other words,R2-R7 cannot be used to hold the
address of an operand located in RAM when using
this addressing mode.
CONTINUE…
• When R0 and R1 are used as pointers , that is, when
they hold the address of RAM locations , they must
be preceded by the “@” sign.
• The advantage of using this addressing mode is that,
it makes accessing data dynamic rather than static as
in the case of direct addressing mode.
• The registers R0 and R1 usage is limited to accessing
any information in the internal RAM.(30 H – 7F H)
EXAMPLE…
• MOV A,@R0 - move contents of RAM

location whose address is held by R0 into A.


• MOV @R1,B - move contents of B

RAM location whose address is held by R1


INDEXED ADDRESSING
• Indexed addressing mode is widely used in
accessing data elements of look-up table
entries located in the program ROM space
of the 8051.
• The instruction used for this purpose is
“MOVC A, @A+DPTR”.
CONTINUE…
• The 16-bit register DPTR and register “A”
are used to form the data element stored in
on-chip ROM.
• Because the data elements are stored in the
program space ROM of the 8051,it uses the
instruction MOVC instead of MOV.
• The “C” means code.
EXAMPLE…
• “MOVC A, @A+DPTR”

• In this instruction the content of A are added


to the 16-bit register DPTR to form the 16-bit
address of the needed data.
