S3C9228/P9228 ADDRESSING MODES
3-3
INDIRECT REGISTER ADDRESSING MODE (IR)
In Indirect Register (IR) addressing mode, the content of the specified register or register pair is the address of
the operand. Depending on the instruction used, the actual address may point to a register in the register file, to
program memory (ROM), or to an external memory space (see Figures 3-3 through 3-6).
You can use any 8-bit register to indirectly address another register. Any 16-bit register pair can be used to
indirectly address another memory location.
