Addressing Modes
3-13 RISC 16-Bit CPU
3.3.4 Absolute Mode
The absolute mode is described in Table 3−7.
Table 3−7. Absolute Mode Description
Assembler Code Content of ROM
MOV &EDE,&TONI MOV X(0),Y(0)
X = EDE
Y = TONI
Length: Two or three words
Operation: Move the contents of the source address EDE to the
destination address TONI. The words after the instruction
contain the absolute address of the source and destination
addresses. With absolute mode, the PC is incremented
automatically so that program execution continues with the
next instruction.
Comment: Valid for source and destination
Example: MOV &EDE,&TONI ;Source address EDE=0F016h,
;dest. address TONI=01114h
01114h

This address mode is mainly for hardware peripheral modules that are located
at an absolute, fixed address. These are addressed with absolute mode to
ensure software transportability (for example, position-independent code).
