Lesson 5:

Addressing modes and Addressing of microprocessor

system

5.1 Addressing Modes

Each instruction requires certain data on which it has to operate. The various techniques to
specify data for instruction are called Addressing Modes.

The 8085 has following addressing modes:

1. Direct Addressing
2. Register Addressing
3. Register indirect Addressing
4. Immediate Addressing
5. Implicit Addressing

We are going to focus on the Direct Addressing Mode and Register Addressing mode.

1. Direct Addressing Mode:

In this mode of addressing the address of the operand (data) is given in the instruction itself.

Examples are:
[1] STA 2400H Store the content of the accumulator in the memory location 2400H.
32,00,24 The above instruction in code form.
In this instruction 2400H is the memory location where data is to be stored. It is given in the
instruction itself. The 2nd and 3rd byte of the instruction specify the address of the memory
location. Here, it is understood that the source of the data is accumulator.

[2] IN 02H Read data from port C.

DB,02 Instruction in code form.
In this instruction 02H is the address of Port C of an I/O port from where the data is to be read.
Here, it is implied that the destination is the accumulator. The 2nd byte of the instruction specifies
the address of the port.

2. Register Addressing Mode:

In register addressing mode the operand is in one of the general purpose registers. The opcode
specifies the address of the register(s) in addition to the operation to be performed.

Examples are:
[1] MOV A, B Move the content of register B to register A.
78 The above instruction in code form.
The opcode for MOV A, B is 78H. Besides the operation to be performed the opcode also
specifies source and destination registers. The opcode 78H can be written in binary form as
01111000. The first two bits, i.e 01 are for MOV operation, the next three bits 111 are the
binary code for register A, and the last three bits 000 are the binary code for register B.

[2] IN 02H Read data from port C.

DB,02 Instruction in code form.
In this instruction 02H is the address of Port C of an I/O port from where the data is to be read.
Here, it is implied that the destination is the accumulator. The 2nd byte of the instruction specifies
the address of the port.
