Example 4.5.4

MOV STR, 4–2

MOV AP0, 2

MOVBS A0, *0x0003

Refer to Figure 4–4 for this example. The byte-string length is 4. It is loaded
to the string register (STR) in the first instruction. AP0 is 2 and it points to AC2.
Third instruction loads the value of the string at byte address, 0x0003, and
subsequently stores its contents into four consecutive accumulators starting
from AC2. The result is, AC2 = 0x0078, AC3 = 0x009A, AC4 = 0x00BC,
AC5 = 0x00DE.

Example 4.5.5

MOV STR, 4–2

MOV AP0, 2

MOVS A0, *0x0003

Refer to Figure 4–4 for this example. The byte-string length is 4. AP0 is loaded
with 2 and points to AC2. The third instruction loads the value of the string at
address 0x0002 (LSB bit is assumed 0) and stored into four consecutive
accumulators starting from AC2. The result is, AC2 = 0x5678, AC3 = 0x9ABC,
AC4 = 0xDEF0, AC5 = 0x1122. Same result can be obtained by replacing the
third instruction by,

MOVS A0, *0x0001 * 2

which uses the absolute word memory address.

Example 4.5.6

MOV STR, 4–2

OV AP0, 2

MOV R0, 0x0005

MOVBS A0, *R0++

Refer to Figure 4–4 for this example. The byte string length is 4. AP0 points
to AC2. R0 is loaded with 0x0005. The fourth instruction loads the value of the
byte-string at the address in R0 (i.e, 0x0005 in byte mode). R0 auto–incre-
ments by 1 after every fetch and stores the RAM contents into four consecutive
accumulators starting from AC2. The result is, AC2 = 0x00BC, AC3 = 0x00DE,
AC4 = 0x00F0, AC5 = 0x0011. There were four byte fetches and the new value
of R0 = 0x0009.
