ADDRESSING MODES
S3C8639/C863A/P863A/C8647/F8647
INDIRECT ADDRESS MODE (IA)
In Indirect Address (IA) mode, the instruction specifies an address located in the lowest 256 bytes of the program
memory. The selected pair of memory locations contains the actual address of the next instruction to be
executed. Only the CALL instruction can use Indirect Address mode.
Because Indirect Address mode assumes that the operand is located in the lowest 256 bytes of program
memory, only an 8-bit address is supplied in the instruction. The upper bytes of the destination address are
assumed to be all zeros.
