Self-modifying code extends addressing Mode 12/17/98 EDN-Design Ideas As just about any assembly-language programmer knows, self-modifying code (SMC) is usually undesirable, unintentional, and destructive.  However, the SMC routine in Listing 1 is extremely useful to extend the indexed, 16-bit offset addressing mode of the venerable HC05 µC from 8 bits, or 256 locations, to the full 13-bit (8-kbyte) memory address space that the µC’s architecture supports.  This routine is very useful for error tables, text messages tables, or any array manipulation for a large number of elements.    Design   Paul Sofianos, Motorola Inc, Tempe, AZ

Serial Controller IC Interfaces with ADSP2100A 03/28/96 EDN-Design Ideas The ADSP2100A DSP chip from Analog Devices has no serial port.  To interface the device with a PC through the RS-232C port or to another serial line, you need to add a serial communications port to the DSP card.  You can add this port by using a serial-communications-controller (SCC) chip, such as the Intel 82530, as a memory-mapped peripheral.  The ADSP2100A works at a speed of 12.5 MHz, so you need a fast SCC.  The 82530 is fast, compared with standard UARTs like the 8251.   Design by DVL Prasad and CA Jalaludeen, NPOL, Kochi, India
