TK2633:MICROPROCESSOR & INTERFACING Programming Techniques Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
LOOPING • The programming technique used to instruct the MPU to repeat task. • Continuous loop • Conditional loop • Repeat task until certain conditions are met. • Some loop include indexing along with counter. • Indexing: pointing or referencing objects with sequential numbers, i.e. data in memory are accessed by referencing to their memory locations. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
COUNTER • Counter. • Counter is constructed by loading a number to any register. • Then use INR or DCR to increment or decrement the number respectively. • Loop is used to update counter value and every iteration the number is inspected to check whether the number is at maximum or minimum. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633 Rajah 1
BLOCK DATA TRANSFERS • In many systems, blocks of information are transferred from one place to another in the microprocessor’s memory. • Transferring Blocks of Bytes. • Transferring Blocks of Words. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633 Rajah 1
BLOCK DATA TRANSFERS • Suppose that a block of 10 bytes of data, beginning at memory location 2080H, is transferred to a block of memory beginning at location 2090H. • The simplest method, is to use the LDA and STA instruction to transfer each byte. • Long program • A more efficient way to transfer a block of data uses the programmed-loop and counter. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633 Rajah 1
Flowchart • Flowchart required to transfer a block of bytes from one area of memory to another . Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
Transfer 10 bytes of data Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
BLOCK DATA TRANSFERS • The program uses: • the HL register pair to indirectly address the source block of data. • The DE register pair to indirectly address the destination block. • Transfers use the MOV A,M instruction to load the accumulator from a source block memory location. • Next, the STAX D instruction stores the accumulator data into a destination block memory location. • The B register functions as a counter in this example. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633 Rajah 1
BLOCK DATA TRANSFERS • Large- byte block transfer >256 (FF) bytes? • Program requires a register pair as the counter. • Example: • A block of bytes beginning at location 01OOH is transferred to a block beginning at location 2800H. • The length of this block is 300 (12CH) bytes.

Transferring Blocks of Words • In certain applications, 16-bit words of data must be transferred. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633

BLOCK EXCHANGES • Block exchanges are similar to block transfers except that the data are taken from one block of memory and exchanged with the data in a second block of memory. • Their main application is in sorting character strings and numeric data. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
Byte Block Exchanges • Suppose that we must exchange the 80H bytes of memory beginning at location 2800H with the 80H bytes of memory beginning at location 2880H. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
Byte Block Exchanges Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
Word Block Exchanges: Exercise • Suppose that we must exchange the 500H words of memory beginning at location 9000H with the 500H words of memory beginning at location 9100H. Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633
