ADDRESSING MODES AND DATA MOVE OPERATIONS

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

In this chapter, the reader is introduced to simpler data-moving instructions of MCS-51 microcontrollers. Different addressing modes offered by MCS-51 are also discussed. After completion of this chapter, the reader should be able to understand:

  • Five types of addressing modes offered by MCS-51.
  • Mnemonics used for data move type instructions.
  • All variations offered by the MOV instructions.
  • Different syntax used in MOV instruction.
  • Limitation of the MOV instruction.
  • Difference between 8085 and MCS-51 data move instructions.
