8.3

Dual Data Pointer

8.3.1

Description

The AT89C5132 implement a second data pointer for speeding up code execution and reducing

code size in case of intensive usage of external memory accesses.

DPTR0 and DPTR1 are seen by the CPU as DPTR and are accessed using the SFR addresses

83h and 84h that are the DPH and DPL addresses. The DPS bit in AUXR1 register (see

Table 15) is used to select whether DPTR is the data pointer 0 or the data pointer 1 (see

Figure 8-6).

Dual Data Pointer Implementation

8.3.2

Application

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 “destination” pointer.

Below is an example of block move implementation using the two pointers and coded in assem-

bler. The latest C compiler also takes advantage of this feature by providing enhanced algorithm

libraries.

The INC instruction is a short (2 Bytes) and fast (6 CPU clocks) way to manipulate the DPS bit in

the AUXR1 register. However, note that the INC instruction does not directly forces the DPS bit

to a particular 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.

; ASCII block move using dual data pointers

; Modifies DPTR0, DPTR1, A and PSW

; Ends when encountering NULL character

; Note: DPS exits opposite of entry state unless an extra INC AUXR1 is added
