basic memory organizion at 8051

hello i want to understand how the memory is organize i know that i have rom and ram.
but inside ram i have data memory and idata memory what is the difference are they the same memory?

in 8051 you only have data memory no idata as it only have 128 bytes of ram. Whereas if you go for 8052 architecture where you have 256 bytes or ram. lower 128 bytes are data and upper 128 bytes are idata.

Now the name data and idata differs in the way you can address them. idata can only be addressed indirectly i.e. using r0, r1 registers are pointers. e.g.

mov r0, #81h ;load r0 with 81h memory location
mov a, @r0 ;read 81H location

whereas data location can be accessed directly/indirectly i.e. method shown above and direct method e.g.

mov a, 7fH

The reason idata can only be addressed indirectly, coz they overlap the SFR memory area. so if you access upper 128 bytes directly you read SFR region whereas if you read them indirectly you read idata region. Usually when writing assembly programs, idata is used for stack and lookup tables etc.

Hope this has helped you understanding difference in both memories If you have any question do post again.

thanks mister i appreciate your answer do you know where i find material to read about it?

Just Google
