8.2. Internal Space

8.2.1. Lower 128 Bytes RAM

The lower 128 bytes of RAM (see Figure 13) are accessible from address 00h to 7Fh using direct or indirect
addressing modes. The lowest 32 bytes are grouped into 4 banks of 8 registers (R0 to R7). Two bits RS0 and RS1
in PSW register (see Figure 16) select which bank is in use according to Table 15. This allows more efficient use
of code space, since register instructions are shorter than instructions that use direct addressing, and can be used
for context switching in interrupt service routines.

Table 15. Register Bank Selection

The next 16 bytes above the register banks form a block of bit-addressable memory space. The C51 instruction
set includes a wide selection of single-bit instructions, and the 128 bits in this area can be directly addressed by
these instructions. The bit addresses in this area are 00h to 7Fh.

8.2.2. Upper 128 Bytes RAM

The upper 128 bytes of RAM are accessible from address 80h to FFh using only indirect addressing mode.

8.2.3. Expanded RAM

The on-chip 256 bytes of expanded RAM (ERAM) are accessible from address 0000h to FFh using indirect
addressing mode through MOVX instructions.

Caution:
Lower 128 bytes RAM, Upper 128 bytes RAM, and expanded RAM are made of volatile memory cells. This means that the RAM content is
indeterminate after power-up and must then be initialized properly.
