3.2.4 Special function registers (SFRs)
Unlike a general-purpose register, each SFR has a special function.
SFRs are allocated to the FFF00H to FFFFFH area.
SFRs can be manipulated like general-purpose registers, using operation, transfer, and bit manipulation instructions.
The manipulable bit units, 1 and 8, depend on the SFR type.
Each manipulation bit unit can be specified as follows.
• 1-bit manipulation
Describe the symbol reserved by the assembler for the 1-bit manipulation instruction operand (sfr.bit). This
manipulation can also be specified with an address.
• 8-bit manipulation
Describe the symbol reserved by the assembler for the 8-bit manipulation instruction operand (sfr). This
manipulation can also be specified with an address.
Table 3-5 gives a list of the SFRs. The meanings of items in the table are as follows.
• Symbol
Symbol indicating the address of a special function register. It is a reserved word in the assembler, and is defined
as an sfr variable using the #pragma sfr directive in the compiler. When using the assembler, debugger, and
simulator, symbols can be written as an instruction operand.
• R/W
Indicates whether the corresponding SFR can be read or written.
R/W: Read/write enable
R: Read only
W: Write only
• Manipulable bit units
“√” indicates the manipulable bit unit (1 or 8). “−” indicates a bit unit for which manipulation is not possible.
• After reset
Indicates each register status upon reset signal generation.
Caution Do not access addresses to which extended SFRs are not assigned.
Remark For extended SFRs (2nd SFRs), see 3.2.5 Extended special function registers (2nd SFRs: 2nd Special
Function Registers).
