WHAT IS AN ADDRESSING MODE?

• An Addressing mode is a way to address an operand.

• Operand means the data we are operating upon (in most cases source data).

• It can be a direct address of memory, it can be any numerical data, etc.

ADDRESSING MODES

1. Immediate addressing mode

2. Direct addressing mode

3. Register direct addressing mode

4. Register indirect addressing mode

5. Indexed addressing mode

1) IMMEDIATE ADDRESSING MODE

• This type of addressing mode is named as “immediate addressing”, because it transfers an 8-bit data immediately to the accumulator (destination register).

• This instruction has an 8-bit immediate data at the operand.

• Example- MOV A,#6AH

2) DIRECT ADDRESSING MODE

• This is an another way of addressing an operand.

• In this type of addressing mode, the address of the data (source data) is given as operand instead of immediate data .

• Example- MOV A,04H

3) REGISTER DIRECT ADDRESSING MODE

• In this type of addressing mode, we use the register name directly as source operand.

• In 8051,there are 4 register banks, containing 8 registers (R0-R7) each.

• Hence, the selection of a register bank is done by a special function register (SFR) called Processor Status Word (PSW).

• Example- MOV A,R4

4) REGISTER INDIRECT ADDRESSING MODE

• In this type of addressing mode, the address of the data (source data) is given in the register operand.

• Here also, the register bank is required to be selected by PSW (Processor Status Word).

• Here, the selected register is first loaded with a value which acts as the address of the data.

• Example- MOV A,@R0

5) INDEXED ADDRESSING MODE

• In this type of addressing, DPTR (Data Pointer) or PC (Program Counter), i.e. 16-bit registers, are used in the instruction.

• Here, the content of DPTR or PC is added to the current content of accumulator.

• The result acts as the address of the source data.

• After execution the source data is stored in accumulator.

• Example- MOV A,@A+DPTR
