2.1.4.7 Y, Z REGISTERS
The Y and Z registers are the 8-bit buffers. There are three major functions of these registers.
z
z
z
can be used as general working registers
can be used as RAM data pointers with @YZ register
can be used as ROM data pointer with the MOVC instruction for look-up table

Example: Uses Y, Z register as the data pointer to access data in the RAM address 025H of bank0.
B0MOV
B0MOV
B0MOV
Y, #00H
Z, #25H
A, @YZ
; To set RAM bank 0 for Y register
; To set location 25H for Z register
; To read a data into ACC
Example: Uses the Y, Z register as data pointer to clear the RAM data.
B0MOV
B0MOV
Y, #0
Z, #07FH
; Y = 0, bank 0
; Z = 7FH, the last address of the data memory area

…
@YZ
; End of clear general purpose data memory area of bank 0
