Absolute addressing mode in 8085 Microprocessor
In this mode, the data is directly copied from the given address to the register. This absolute addressing mode is also called a direct addressing mode. For example LDA 3000H: means the data at address 3000H is copied to register A.
LDA 4050H
Let us consider LDA 4050 Has an example instruction of this type. It is a 3-Byte instruction. The initial content of memory address 4050H is ABH. initial accumulator content is CDH. As after execution A will be initialized with value ABH. Memory location 4050H will still remain with the content ABH. The results of the execution of this instruction are as below –
