23.3.2.4 Direct Page Register (DIRECT)
Read: Anytime
Write: anytime in special modes, one time only in other modes.
This register determines the position of the direct page within the memory map.
CAUTION
XGATE write access to this register during an CPU access which makes use
of this register could lead to unexpected results.
Figure 23-9. DIRECT Address Mapping
Bits [22:16] of the global address will be formed by the GPAGE[6:0] bits in case the CPU executes a global
instruction in direct addressing mode or by the appropriate local address to the global address expansion
(refer to Expansion of the CPU Local Address Map).
Example 23-2. This example demonstrates usage of the Direct Addressing Mode by a global instruction
LDAADR EQU $0000 ;Initialize LDADDR with the value of $0000
MOVB #$80,DIRECT ;Initialize DIRECT register with the value of $80
MOVB #$14,GPAGE ;Initialize GPAGE register with the value of $14
GLDAA <LDAADR ;Load Accu A from the global address $14_8000
Address: 0x0011

Direct Page Index Bits 15–8 — These bits are used by the CPU when performing accesses using the direct
addressing mode. The bits from this register form bits [15:8] of the address (see Figure 1-9).
