Addressing Modes

 8051 provides a total of five addressing modes.

 The way in which the instruction is specified.
 Addressing Modes are
 Immediate Addressing Mode
 Direct Addressing Mode
 Register Addressing Mode
 Register Indirect Addressing Mode
 Indexed Addressing Mode
Immediate Addressing Mode

 In this addressing mode the source operand is Constant

 Immediate data must be preceded by the sign “#”
 This addressing mode can be used to load information into any of the registers.

e.g. Mov A, #25H

Direct Addressing Mode

 There is 128 Bytes of RAM in 8051.

 This mode most often used to Access RAM location from 30 to 7FH

 e.g. MOV R0, 40H

Register Addressing Mode

 It involves the use of register to hold the data to be manipulated

 In this mode source and destination both should be Register

e.g. MOV A, Ri
ADD A, Ri
Register Indirect Mode

 In this mode register used as pointer to the data

 If data is inside the CPU only register R0 & R1 are used.
Indexed Addressing Mode

 This mode is used in accessing the data elements of look up table entries located
in program code ROM at 8051
