ADDRESSING MODES S3C8245/P8245/C8249/P8249
3-12
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 the Indirect Address mode.
Because the 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.

Sample Instruction:
CALL #40H ; The 16-bit value in program memory addresses 40H
and 41H is the subroutine start address.
