INSTRUCTION FORMATS
MOTOROLA INSTRUCTION SET INTRODUCTION 6 - 17
6.3.5.3.5 Absolute Short
The address of the operand occupies six bits in the instruction operation word, allowing
addresses $0000–$003F to be accessed (see Figure 6-11). Classified as both a memory
reference and program reference, the address is zero extended to 16 bits when used to
address an operand or program memory.
6.3.5.3.6 I/O Short
Classified as a memory reference, the I/O short addressing mode is similar to absolute
short addressing. The address of the operand occupies six bits in the instruction operation
word. I/O short is used with the bit manipulation and MOVEP instructions. The I/O short
address is ones extended to 16 bits to address the I/O portion of X and Y memory
(addresses $FFC0–$FFFF – see Figure 6-12).
6.3.5.3.7 Implicit Reference
Some instructions make implicit reference to PC, SS, LA, LC, or SR. For example, the
jump instruction (JMP) implicitly references the PC; whereas, the repeat next instruction
(REP) implicitly references LC. The registers implied and their uses are defined by the
individual instruction descriptions (see APPENDIX A - INSTRUCTION SET DETAILS).
