RELATIVE ADDRESS MODE (RA)
In Relative Address (RA) mode, a two's-complement signed displacement between – 128 and + 127 is specified
in the instruction. The displacement value is then added to the current PC value. The result is the address of the
next instruction to be executed. Before this addition occurs, the PC contains the address of the instruction
immediately following the current instruction.
Several program control instructions use the Relative Address mode to perform conditional jumps. The
instructions that support RA addressing are BTJRF, BTJRT, DJNZ, CPIJE, CPIJNE, and JR.
