Register Bank Pointer (PS: RP)
The register bank pointer (RP) is a register that indicates the first address of the
general-purpose register bank currently being used. The RP is used for real address
conversion when general-purpose register addressing is used.
■ Register Bank Pointer (RP)
Figure 3.7-10 shows the configuration of the register bank pointer (RP) register.
■ General-purpose Register Area and Register Bank Pointer
The register bank pointer points to the relationship between the general-purpose register of the F
16LX and the address in internal RAM where the general-purpose register exists. Figure 3.7-11 shows the
conversion rules used for the relationship between the contents of the RP and the real address.

Conversion formula [000180
• Since the RP takes a value from 00
from 000180
• Although an assembler instruction can use an 8-bit immediate value transfer instruction for transfer to
the RP, in actuality only the lower 5 bits of the data are used.
• The initial value of the RP register after a reset is 00
