4.4.4Class 4 Instructions: Address Register and Memory Reference

Class 4 instructions operate on the indirect register, Rx, that exists in the ad- dress unit (ADU). Even though the last three registers (R5±R7) are special (INDEX, PAGE, and STACK), class 4 instructions uniformly apply to all regis- ters. Subclass 4a provides transfers to and from memory. In indirect mode, any one auxiliary register can serve as the address for loading and storing the con- tents of another.

Subclass 4b instructions provide some basic arithmetic operations between referenced auxiliary register and short 8 bit constants from program memory. These instructions are included to provide efficient single cycle instructions for loop control and for software addressing routines.

Subclass 4c provide basic arithmetic operations between the referenced auxil- iary register and 16 bit constants from program memory. These instruction re- quire 2 instruction cycles to execute.

Also a compare to R5 (INDEX) is provided for efficient loop control where the final loop counter value is not chosen to be zero.
