Accumulator (ACC, A): ACC is the accumulator register. Most instructions use the accumulator to hold the
operand. The mnemonics for accumulator-specific instructions refer to accumulator as “A”, not ACC.
B Register: The B register is used during multiply and divide instructions. It can also be used as a scratch-pad
register to hold temporary data.

Accumulator, i.e. even parity.
Table 10: PSW Bit Functions
Stack Pointer (SP): The stack pointer is a 1-byte register initialized to 0x07 after reset. This register is incremented
before PUSH and CALL instructions, causing the stack to begin at location 0x08.
Data Pointer: The data pointer (DPTR) is 2 bytes wide. The lower part is DPL, and the highest is DPH. It can be
loaded as two registers (e.g. MOV DPL,#data8). It is generally used to access external code or data space (e.g.
MOVC A,@A+DPTR or MOVX A,@DPTR respectively).
Program Counter: The program counter (PC) is 2 bytes wide initialized to 0x0000 after reset. This register is
incremented when fetching operation code or when operating on data from program memory.
Port Registers: The I/O ports are controlled by Special Function Registers P0, P1, and P2. The contents of the SFR
can be observed on corresponding pins on the chip. Writing a ‘1’ to any of the ports (see Table 11) causes the
corresponding pin to be at high level (V3P3), and writing a ‘0’ causes the corresponding pin to be held at low level
(GND). The data direction registers DIR0, DIR1, and DIR2 define individual pins as input or output pins (see section
Digital I/O for details).
