Texas Instruments MSP430x1xx - Symbolic Mode

Addressing Modes
3-12
RISC 16-Bit CPU
3.3.3 Symbolic Mode
The symbolic mode is described in Table 3−6.
Table 3−6.Symbolic Mode Description
Assembler Code Content of ROM
MOV EDE,TONI MOV X(PC),Y(PC)
X = EDE − PC
Y = TONI − PC
Length: Two or three words
Operation: Move the contents of the source address EDE (contents of
PC + X) to the destination address TONI (contents of PC + Y).
The words after the instruction contain the differences
between the PC and the source or destination addresses.
The assembler computes and inserts offsets X and Y
automatically. With symbolic mode, the program counter (PC)
is incremented automatically so that program execution
continues with the next instruction.
Comment: Valid for source and destination
Example: MOV EDE,TONI ;Source address EDE = 0F016h
;Dest. address TONI=01114h
