USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)

5.3.2

ACCESS BANK

While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit

address allows users to address the entire range of

data memory, it also means that the user must always

ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,

data may be read from or written to the wrong location.

This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target

of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.

Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or

write to data memory can become very inefficient.

To streamline access for the most commonly used data

memory locations, the data memory is configured with

an Access Bank, which allows users to access a

mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.

The Access Bank consists of the first 128 bytes of

memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of

memory (80h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known

as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This

upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are

mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in

the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear

fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-5).

The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions

that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in

the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction

uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the

opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,

however, the instruction is forced to use the Access

Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is

ignored entirely.

Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to

operate on a data address in a single cycle, without

updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 80h and

above, this means that users can evaluate and operate

on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h

is a good place for data values that the user might need

to access rapidly, such as immediate computational

results or common program variables. Access RAM

also allows for faster and more code efficient context

saving and switching of variables.

The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different

when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST

configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail

in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in

Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.

5.3.3

GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER

FILE

PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR

area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all

instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0

(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of

the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on

Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.

Note

The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to

the registers of the Access Bank.

The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.
