3.4 Addressing for Processing Data Addresses 
3.4.1 Implied addressing 
[Function] 
Instructions for accessing registers (such as accumulators) that have special functions are directly specified with the 
instruction word, without using any register specification field in the instruction word. 
[Operand format] 
Implied addressing can be applied only to MULU X.

3.4.2 Register addressing 
[Function] 
Register addressing accesses a general-purpose register as an operand. The instruction word of 3-bit long is used 
to select an 8-bit register and the instruction word of 2-bit long is used to select a 16-bit register.
