Direct Page Addressing

Direct Page Addressing is an addressing mode that is supported by the 65c816 and SPC700. It is an upgraded version of zero page addressing. The effective addresses generated by it are always in bank 0.^[4]

The operand specifies which byte of the direct page to access.

Syntax

LDA dp

Supported by 24 instructions on the '816:

• ADC (opcode 65)
• SBC (opcode E5)

• ASL (opcode 06)
• LSR (opcode 46)
• INC (opcode E6)
• DEC (opcode C6)
• BIT (opcode 24)
