4.5 Bit, Byte, Word and String Addressing

The MSP50P614/MSP50C614 has instructions which address bits, bytes, words and strings in data memory or program memory. Data memory is always accessed in bytes by the hardware, but is based on the instruction. The data memory location is treated as a byte, word, or flag address. There are five different kinds of addresses: byte addresses, byte-string addresses, word addresses, word-string addresses, and flag addresses. Each type of address is described below. Refer to Figure 4±3 and Table 4±40 for reference.

Byte and byte string address: Byte addressing is used to access individual bytes with an instruction in byte mode. Such instructions have a suffix, B, at the end of instruction name (for example, ADDB, MOVB, etc.). A byte string
