Dual Data Pointer Registers: To facilitate accessing both internal and external data memory,
two banks of 16-bit Data Pointer Registers are provided: DP0 at SFR address locations 82H-
83H and DP1 at 84H-85H. Bit DPS = 0 in SFR AUXR1 selects DP0 and DPS = 1 selects DP1.
The user should ALWAYS initialize the DPS bit to the appropriate value before accessing the
respective Data Pointer Register.
Power Off Flag: The Power Off Flag (POF) is located at bit 4 (PCON.4) in the PCON SFR. POF
is set to “1” during power up. It can be set and rest under software control and is not affected by
reset.
