TS8xC51Rx2
Software can take advantage of the additional data pointers to both increase speed and
reduce code size, for example, block operations (copy, compare, search ...) are well
served by using one data pointer as a ’source’ pointer and the other one as a "destina-
tion" pointer.
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
INC is a short (2 bytes) and fast (12 clocks) way to manipulate the DPS bit in the AUXR1
SFR. However, note that the INC instruction does not directly force the DPS bit to a par-
ticular state, but simply toggles it. In simple routines, such as the block move example,
only the fact that DPS is toggled in the proper sequence matters, not its actual value. In
other words, the block move routine works the same whether DPS is '0' or '1' on entry.
Observe that without the last instruction (INC AUXR1), the routine will exit with DPS in
the opposite state.
; Block move using dual data pointers
; Destroys DPTR0, DPTR1, A and PSW
; note: DPS exits opposite of entry state
; unless an extra INC AUXR1 is added
