Dual Data Pointer
Register DPTR
The additional data pointer can be used to speed up code execution and reduce code
size.
The dual DPTR structure is a way by which the chip will specify the address of an exter-
nal data memory location. There are two 16-bit DPTR registers that address the external
memory, and a single bit called DPS = AUXR1.0 (see Table 23) that allows the program
code to switch between them (Refer to Figure 5).
