Data Addressing Modes

Provide various ways to access operands to
execute instructions and place results in the
memory or the registers.
C54x has 7 addressing modes

Immediate Addressing
Absolute Addressing
Accumulator Addressing
Direct Addressing
Indirect Addressing
Memory-Mapped Register Addressing
Stack Addressing

Immediate addressing
Value encoded in the instruction.
Two types of values:
Short immediate (3/5/8/9 bits)
Long immediate (16 bits)
# indicates immediate.

Example

24/ 02/ 14

LD

#5, ARP ; 3-bit constant

LD

#143h, DP ; 9-bit constant

LD

#80h, A

LD

#1000h, A ; 16-bit constant

; 8-bit constant

Dr.Shikha Tripathi,ASE, Bangalore

Amrita School of Engineering, Bangalore

Absolute Addressing
Complete address is specified
Address is always of 16-bits
So, instruction is of 2 words
4 types:
dmad addressing
pmad addressing
PA addressing
*(lk) addressing

Example
MVKD SAMPLE, *AR5 ;dmad addr
MVDK *AR3, DATA1 ; dmad addr
MVPD COEFF, *AR7 ; pmad addr
PORTR FIFO, *AR5 ; PA addr
LD

24/ 02/ 14

*(BUFFER), A; *(lk) addr

Accumulator Addressing
Use Acc (A/B) contents as address.
Used to address program memory as data.
Two instructions:
READA Smem
WRITA Smem

Direct Addressing
Lower 7-bit dma is an address offset
CPL in ST1 used for selection.
Types:
DP-Referenced Direct addressing
Can access upto 128 locations (7 bits) of 512 pages(9 bits
of DP) in DMA

SP-Referenced Direct addressing
