Programming
Model
The accumulator
is
a general purpose 8-bit register
used
to hold operands
and
results
of
arithmetic
calculations or data manipulations.
4.2 INDEX REGISTER (X)
The index register
is
an
8-bit register used for the indexed addressing mode.
It
contains
an
8-bit
value that may
be
added
to
an
8-
or 16-bit immediate value to create
an
effective address. The index
register may
also
be
used
as
a temporary storage
area.
4.3 PROGRAM COUNTER (PC)
The program counter
is
a 12-bit register that contains the address
of
the next bye to
be
fetched.
