Look-up Table
Any location within the Program Memory can be defined as a look-up table where programmers can
store fixed data. To use the look-up table, the table pointer must first be setup by placing the address
of the look up data to be retrieved in the table pointer register, TBLP and TBHP. These registers
define the total address of the look-up table.
After setting up the table pointer, the table data can be retrieved from the Program Memory using
the "TABRD [m]" or "TABRDL [m]" instructions, respectively. When the instruction is executed,
the lower order table byte from the Program Memory will be transferred to the user defined
Data Memory register [m] as specified in the instruction. The higher order table data byte from
the Program Memory will be transferred to the TBLH special register. Any unused bits in this
transferred higher order byte will be read as "0".
The accompanying diagram illustrates the addressing data flow of the look-up table.
Table Program Example
The following example shows how the table pointer and table data is defined and retrieved from the
microcontroller. This example uses raw table data located in the Program Memory which is stored
there using the ORG statement. The value at this ORG statement is "700H" which refers to the start
address of the last page within the 2K Program Memory of the HT6xF30-1. The table pointer is
setup here to have an initial value of "06H". This will ensure that the first data read from the data
table will be at the Program Memory address "706H" or 6 locations after the start of the last page.
Note that the value for the table pointer is referenced to the first address of the present page if the
"TABRD [m]" instruction is being used. The high byte of the table data which in this case is equal
to zero will be transferred to the TBLH register automatically when the "TABRD [m]" instruction is
executed.
Because the TBLH register is a read-only register and cannot be restored, care should be taken
to ensure its protection if both the main routine and Interrupt Service Routine use table read
instructions. If using the table read instructions, the Interrupt Service Routines may change the
value of the TBLH and subsequently cause errors if used again by the main routine. As a rule it is
recommended that simultaneous use of the table read instructions should be avoided. However, in
situations where simultaneous use cannot be avoided, the interrupts should be disabled prior to the
execution of any main routine table-read instructions. Note that all table related instructions require
two instruction cycles to complete their operation.
