The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement that
is very useful for C compiler code optimization. The
techniques used by the C compiler are also useful for
programs written in assembly.
This data memory region can be used for:
• Intermediate computational values
• Local variables of subroutines
• Faster context saving/switching of variables
• Common variables
• Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
The Access Bank is comprised of the upper 160 bytes
in Bank 15 (SFRs) and the lower 96 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access Bank
High and Access Bank Low, respectively. Figure 4-6
indicates the Access Bank areas.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in
the Access Bank.
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last
address in Access Bank Low is followed by the first
address in Access Bank High. Access Bank High maps
most of the Special Function Registers so that these
registers can be accessed without any software
overhead.

The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into sixteen banks. When using direct
addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ‘0’s and
writes will have no effect.
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the
instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all ‘0’s and all writes are ignored. The
Status register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate for
the instruction performed.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 4.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers” provides a description of indirect address-
ing, which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.
