Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
INDF actually addresses the register whose address is
contained in the FSR register (FSR is a pointer). This is
indirect addressing.
EXAMPLE 2-1:
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Register file 05 contains the value 10h
Register file 06 contains the value 0Ah
Load the value 05 into the FSR register
A read of the INDF register will return the value of
10h
Increment the value of the FSR register by one
(FSR = 06)
A read of the INDR register now will return the
value of 0Ah.
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce
00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly results in a
no-operation (although Status bits may be affected).

EXAMPLE 2-2:
HOW TO CLEAR RAM
USING INDIRECT
ADDRESSING
An effective 9-bit address is obtained by concatenating
the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit of the STATUS
used in the MCV18E.
