AT89C51CC03
The AT89C51CC03 implements a second data pointer for speeding up code execution
and reducing code size in case of intensive usage of external memory accesses.
DPTR 0 and DPTR 1 are seen by the CPU as DPTR and are accessed using the SFR
addresses 83h and 84h that are the DPH and DPL addresses. The DPS bit in AUXR1
register (see Figure 8) is used to select whether DPTR is the data pointer 0 or the data
pointer 1 (see Figure 13).
Figure 13. Dual Data Pointer Implementation
Software can take advantage of the additional data pointers to both increase speed and
reduce code size, for example, block operations (copy, compare…) are well served by
using one data pointer as a “source” pointer and the other one as a “destination” pointer.
Hereafter is an example of block move implementation using the two pointers and coded
in assembler. The latest C compiler takes also advantage of this feature by providing
enhanced algorithm libraries.
The INC instruction is a short (2 Bytes) and fast (6 machine cycle) way to manipulate the
DPS bit in the AUXR1 register. However, note that the INC instruction does not directly
force the DPS bit to a particular state, but simply toggles it. In simple routines, such as
the block move example, only the fact that DPS is toggled in the proper sequence mat-
ters, not its actual value. In other words, the block move routine works the same whether
DPS is '0' or '1' on entry.
; ASCII block move using dual data pointers
; Modifies DPTR0, DPTR1, A and PSW
; Ends when encountering NULL character
; Note: DPS exits opposite to the entry state unless an extra INC AUXR1 is added
