3.1
Introduction
The dsPIC30F data width is 16-bits. All internal registers and data space memory are organized
as 16-bits wide. The dsPIC30F features two data spaces. The data spaces can be accessed
separately (for some DSP instructions) or together as one 64-Kbyte linear address range (for
MCU instructions). The data spaces are accessed using two Address Generation Units (AGUs)
and separate data paths.
An example data space memory map is shown in Figure 3-1.
Data memory addresses between 0x0000 and 0x07FF are reserved for the device special
function registers (SFRs). The SFRs include control and status bits for the CPU and peripherals
on the device.
The RAM begins at address 0x0800 and is split into two blocks, X and Y data space. For data
writes, the X and Y data spaces are always accessed as a single, linear data space. For data
reads, the X and Y memory spaces can be accessed independently or as a single, linear space.
Data reads for MCU class instructions always access the the X and Y data spaces as a single
combined data space. Dual source operand DSP instructions, such as the MAC instruction,
access the X and Y data spaces separately to support simultaneous reads for the two source
operands.
MCU instructions can use any W register as an address pointer for a data read or write operation.
During data reads, the DSP class of instructions isolates the Y address space from the total data
space. W10 and W11 are used as address pointers for reads from the Y data space. The remaining data space is referred to as X space, but could more accurately be described as “X minus Y”
space. W8 and W9 are used as address pointers for data reads from the X data space in DSP
class instructions.
Figure 3-2 shows how the data memory map functions for both MCU class and DSP class
instructions. Note that it is the W register number and type of instruction that determines how
address space is accessed for data reads. In particular, MCU instructions treat the X and Y
memory as a single combined data space. The MCU instructions can use any W register as an
address pointer for reads and writes. The DSP instructions that can simultaneously pre-fetch two
data operands, split the data memory into two spaces. Specific W registers must be used for read
address pointers in this case.
Some DSP instructions have the ability to store the accumulator that is not targeted by the
instruction to data memory. This function is called “accumulator write back”. W13 must be used
as an address pointer to the combined data memory space for accumulator write back
operations.
For DSP class instructions, W8 and W9 should point to implemented X memory space for all
memory reads. If W8 or W9 points to Y memory space, zeros will be returned. If W8 or W9 points
to an unimplemented memory address, an address error trap will be generated.
For DSP class instructions, W10 and W11 should point to implemented Y memory space for all
memory reads. If W10 or W11 points to implemented X memory space, all zeros will be returned.
If W10 or W11 points to an unimplemented memory address, an address error trap will be
generated. For additional information on address error traps, refer to Section 6. “Reset Interrupts”.

space and a portion of X memory space. All of X memory space and some or all of Y memory
space may be included in the near data memory region, depending on the device variant.

Dual Source Operand DSP Instructions (Read)
Data writes for DSP instructions consider the entire data memory as one
combined space. DSP instructions that perform an accumulator write back
use W13 as an address pointer for writes to the combined data spaces.
Near Data Memory
An 8-Kbyte address space, referred to as near data memory, is reserved in the data memory
space between 0x0000 and 0x1FFF. Near data memory is directly addressable via a 13-bit
absolute address field within all file register instructions.
The memory regions included in the near data region will depend on the amount of data memory
implemented for each dsPIC30F device variant. At a minimum, the near data region will include
all of the SFRs and some of the X data memory. For devices that have smaller amounts of data
memory, the near data region may include all of X memory space and possibly some or all of Y
memory space. Refer to Figure 3-1 for more details.
Note:

The entire 64K data space can be addressed directly using the MOV instruction.

3.2
Data Space Address Generator Units (AGUs)
The dsPIC30F contains an X AGU and a Y AGU for generating data memory addresses. Both X
and Y AGUs can generate any effective address (EA) within a 64-Kbyte range. However, EAs
that are outside the physical memory provided will return all zeros for data reads and data writes
to those locations will have no effect. Furthermore, an address error trap will be generated. For
more information on address error traps, refer to Section 6. “Reset Interrupts”.
3.2.1
X Address Generator Unit
The X AGU is used by all instructions and supports all Addressing modes. The X AGU consists
of a read AGU (X RAGU) and a write AGU (X WAGU), which operate independently on separate
read and write buses during different phases of the instruction cycle. The X read data bus is the
return data path for all instructions that view data space as combined X and Y address space. It
is also the X address space data path for the dual operand read instructions (DSP instruction
class). The X write data bus is the only write path to the combined X and Y data space for all
instructions.
The X RAGU starts its effective address calculation during the prior instruction cycle, using
information derived from the just pre-fetched instruction. The X RAGU EA is presented to the
address bus at the beginning of the instruction cycle.
The X WAGU starts its effective address calculation at the beginning of the instruction cycle. The
EA is presented to the address bus during the write phase of the instruction.
Both the X RAGU and the X WAGU support modulo addressing.
Bit-reversed addressing is supported by the X WAGU only.
3.2.2
3
Y Address Generator Unit
The Y AGU timing is identical to that of the X RAGU, in that its effective address calculation starts
prior to the instruction cycle, using information derived from the pre-fetched instruction. The EA
is presented to the address bus at the beginning of the instruction cycle.
The Y AGU supports Modulo Addressing and Post-modification Addressing modes for the DSP
class of instructions that use it.
Note:
© 2004 Microchip Technology Inc.
The Y AGU does not support data writes. All data writes occur via the X WAGU to
the combined X and Y data spaces. The Y AGU is only used during data reads for
dual source operand DSP instructions.
DS70050C-page 3-5
Data Memory
The Y data memory space has one AGU that supports data reads from the Y data memory space.
The Y memory bus is never used for data writes. The function of the Y AGU and Y memory bus
is to support concurrent data reads for DSP class instructions.

Address Generator Units and DSP Class Instructions
The Y AGU and Y memory data path are used in concert with the X RAGU by the DSP class of
instructions to provide two concurrent data read paths. For example, the MAC instruction can
simultaneously pre-fetch two operands to be used in the next multiplication.
The DSP class of instructions dedicates two W register pointers, W8 and W9, to always operate
through the X RAGU and address X data space independently from Y data space, plus two W
register pointers, W10 and W11, to always operate through the Y AGU and address Y data space
independently from X data space. Any data write performed by a DSP class instruction will take
place in the combined X and Y data space and the write will occur across the X-bus.
Consequently, the write can be to any address irrespective of where the EA is directed.
The Y AGU only supports Post-modification Addressing modes associated with the DSP class of
instructions. For more information on Addressing modes, please refer to the dsPIC30F Programmer’s Reference Manual. The Y AGU also supports modulo addressing for automated circular
buffers. All other (MCU) class instructions can access the Y data address space through the X
AGU when it is regarded as part of the composite linear space.

Section 3. Data Memory
3.2.4
Data Alignment
The ISA supports both word and byte operations for all MCU instructions that access data
through the X memory AGU. The LSb of a 16-bit data address is ignored for word operations.
Word data is aligned in the little-endian format with the LSByte at the even address (LSB = 0)
and the MSByte at the odd address (LSB = 1).
For byte operations, the LSB of the data address is used to select the byte that is accessed. The
addressed byte is placed on the lower 8 bits of the internal data bus.
All effective address calculations are automatically adjusted depending on whether a byte or a
word access is performed. For example, an address will be incremented by 2 for a word
operation that post-increments the address pointer.
Note:
All word accesses must be aligned to an even address (LSB = 0). Misaligned word
data fetches are not supported, so care must be taken when mixing byte and word
operations or translating from existing PICmicro code. Should a misaligned word
read or write be attempted, an address error trap will occur. A misaligned read
operation will complete, but a misaligned write will not take place. The trap will then
be taken, allowing the system to examine the machine state prior to execution of the
address Fault.

Modulo Addressing
Modulo, or circular addressing provides an automated means to support circular data buffers
using hardware. The objective is to remove the need for software to perform data address
boundary checks when executing tightly looped code as is typical in many DSP algorithms.
Any W register, except W15, can be selected as the pointer to the modulo buffer. The modulo
hardware performs boundary checks on the address held in the selected W register and
automatically adjusts the pointer value at the buffer boundaries, when required.
dsPIC30F modulo addressing can operate in either data or program space (since the data
pointer mechanism is essentially the same for both). One circular buffer can be supported in each
of the X (which also provides the pointers into Program space) and Y data spaces.
The modulo data buffer length can be any size up to 32K words. The modulo buffer logic supports
buffers using word or byte sized data. However, the modulo logic only performs address boundary checks at word address boundaries, so the length of a byte modulo buffer must be even. In
addition, byte-sized modulo buffers cannot be implemented using the Y AGU because byte
access is not supported via the Y memory data bus.

3.3.1
Modulo Start and End Address Selection
Four address registers are available for specifying the modulo buffer start and end addresses:
•
•
•
•
XMODSRT: X AGU Modulo Start Address Register
XMODEND: X AGU Modulo End Address Register
YMODSRT: Y AGU Modulo Start Address Register
YMODEND: Y AGU Modulo End Address Register
The start address for a modulo buffer must be located at an even byte address boundary. The
LSB of the XMODSRT and YMODSRT registers is fixed at ‘0’ to ensure the correct modulo start
address. The end address for a modulo buffer must be located at an odd byte address boundary.
The LSB of the XMODEND and YMODEND registers is fixed to ‘1’ to ensure the correct modulo
end address.
The start and end address selected for each modulo buffer have certain restrictions, depending
on whether an incrementing or decrementing buffer is to be implemented. For an incrementing
buffer, a W register pointer is incremented through the buffer address range. When the end
address of the incrementing buffer is reached, the W register pointer is reset to point to the start
of the buffer. For a decrementing buffer, a W register pointer is decremented through the buffer
address range. When the start address of a decrementing buffer is reached, the W register
pointer is reset to point to the end of the buffer.
Note:
3.3.1.1
The user must decide whether an incrementing or decrementing modulo buffer is
required for the application. There are certain address restrictions that depend on
whether an incrementing or decrementing modulo buffer is to be implemented.
Modulo Start Address
The data buffer start address is arbitrary, but must be at a ‘zero’ power of two boundary for
incrementing modulo buffers. The modulo start address can be any value for decrementing
modulo buffers and is calculated using the chosen buffer end address and buffer length.
For example, if the buffer length for an incrementing buffer is chosen to be 50 words (100 bytes),
then the buffer start byte address must contain 7 Least Significant zeros. Valid start addresses
may, therefore, be 0xNN00 and 0xNN80, where ‘N’ is any hexadecimal value.
3.3.1.2
Modulo End Address
The data buffer end address is arbitrary but must be at a ‘ones’ boundary for decrementing
buffers. The modulo end address can be any value for an incrementing buffer and is calculated
using the chosen buffer start address and buffer length.
For example, if the buffer size (modulus value) is chosen to be 50 words (100 bytes), then the
buffer end byte address for decrementing modulo buffer must contain 7 Least Significant ones.
Valid end addresses may, therefore, be 0xNNFF and 0xNN7F, where ‘x’ is any hexadecimal
value.
Note:
DS70050C-page 3-8
If the required modulo buffer length is an even power of 2, modulo start and end
addresses can be chosen that satisfy the requirements for incrementing and
decrementing buffers.

Section 3. Data Memory
3.3.1.3
Modulo Address Calculation
The end address for an incrementing modulo buffer must be calculated from the chosen start
address and the chosen buffer length in bytes. Equation 3-1 may be used to calculate the end
address.
Equation 3-1:
Modulo End Address for Incrementing Buffer
End Address = Start Address + Buffer Length – 1
The start address for a decrementing modulo buffer is calculated from the chosen end address
and the buffer length, as shown in Equation 3-2.
Equation 3-2:
Modulo Start Address for Decrementing Buffer
Start Address = End Address – Buffer Length + 1
3.3.1.4
Data Dependencies Associated with Modulo Addressing SFRs
A write operation to the Modulo Addressing Control register, MODCON, should not be
immediately followed by an indirect read operation using any W register. The code segment
shown in Example 3-1 will thus lead to unexpected results.
Note 1: Using a POP instruction to pop the contents of the top-of-stack (TOS) location into
MODCON, also constitutes a write to MODCON. The instruction immediately
following a write to MODCON cannot be any instruction performing an indirect read
operation.
Example 3-1:
MOV
MOV
MOV
Incorrect MODCON Initialization
#0x8FF4, w0

;Initialize MODCON
;Incorrect EA generated here
To work around this problem of initialization, use any Addressing mode other than indirect reads
in the instruction that immediately follows the initialization of MODCON. A simple work around to
the problem is achieved by adding a NOP after initializing MODCON, as shown in Example 3-2.

2: The user should note that some instructions perform an indirect read operation,
implicitly. These are: POP, RETURN, RETFIE, RETLW and ULNK.

An additional condition exists for indirect read operations performed immediately after writing to
the modulo address SFRs:
•
•
•
•
XMODSRT
XMODEND
YMODSRT
YMODEND
If modulo addressing has already been enabled in MODCON, then a write to the X (or Y) modulo
address SFRs should not be immediately followed by an indirect read, using the W register
designated for modulo buffer access from X-data space (or Y-data space). The code segment in
Example 3-3 shows how initializing the modulo SFRs associated with the X-data space, could
lead to unexpected results. A similar example can be made for initialization in Y-data space.

To work around this issue, insert a NOP, or perform any operation other than an indirect read that
uses the W register designated for modulo buffer access, after initializing the modulo address
SFRs. This is demonstrated in Example 3-4. Another alternative would be to enable modulo
addressing in MODCON after initializing the modulo start and end address SFRs.

Section 3. Data Memory
3.3.2
W Address Register Selection
The X address space pointer W register (XWM) to which modulo addressing is to be applied, is
stored in MODCON<3:0> (see Register 3-1). The XMODSRT, XMODEND, and the XWM
register selection are shared between the X RAGU and X WAGU. Modulo addressing is enabled
for X data space when XWM is set to any value other than 15 and the XMODEN bit is set
(MODCON<15>). W15 cannot be used as the pointer for modulo addressing because it is the
dedicated software stack pointer.
The Y address space pointer W register (YWM) to which modulo addressing is to be applied, is
stored in MODCON<7:4> (see Register 3-2). Modulo addressing is enabled for Y data space
when YWM is set to any value other than 15 and the YMODEN bit is set (MODCON<14>).
Note:
3.3.3
A write to the MODCON register should not be followed by an instruction that
performs an indirect read operation using a W register. Unexpected results may
occur. Some instructions perform an implicit indirect read. These are:POP,
RETURN, RETFIE, RETLW and ULNK.
Modulo Addressing Applicability
A new EA can exceed the modulo buffer boundary by up to the length of the buffer and still be
successfully corrected. This is important to remember when the Register Indexed ([Wb + Wn])
and Literal Offset ([Wn + lit10]) Addressing modes are used. The user should remember that
the Register Indexed and Literal Offset Addressing modes do not change the value held in the
W register. Only the indirect with Pre- and Post-modification Addressing modes ([Wn++],
[Wn--], [++Wn], [--Wn]) will modify the W register address value.

DS70050C-page 3-11

Data Memory
Modulo addressing can be applied to the effective address (EA) calculation associated with the
selected W register. It is important to realize that the address boundary tests look for addresses
equal to or greater than the upper address boundary for incrementing buffers and equal to or less
than the lower address boundary for decrementing buffers. Address changes may, therefore,
jump over boundaries and still be adjusted correctly. Remember that the automatic adjustment
of the W register pointer by the modulo hardware is uni-directional. That is, the W register pointer
may not be adjusted correctly by the modulo hardware when the W register pointer for an
incrementing buffer is decremented and vice versa. The exception to this rule is when the buffer
length is an even power of 2 and the start and end addresses can be chosen to meet the
-boundary requirements for both incrementing and decrementing modulo buffers.

Select a buffer starting address that is located at a binary ‘zeros’ boundary based on the
desired length of the buffer. Remember that the buffer length in words must be multiplied
by 2 to obtain the byte address range. For example, a buffer with a length of 100 words
(200 bytes) could use 0xXX00 as the starting address.
Calculate the buffer end address using the buffer length chosen in Step 1 and the buffer
start address chosen in Step 2. The buffer end address is calculated using Equation 3-1.

Load the selected W register with address that points to the buffer.
The W register address will be adjusted automatically at the end of the buffer when an

Determine the buffer length in 16-bit data words. Multiply this value by 2 to get the length

Select a buffer end address that is located at a binary ‘ones’ boundary, based on the

by 2 to obtain the byte address range. For example, a buffer with a length of 128 words
(256 bytes) could use 0xXXFF as the end address.
Calculate the buffer start address using the buffer length chosen in Step 1 and the end

Set the XMODEN (YMODEN) bit in the MODCON register to enable the circular buffer.
Load the selected W register with address that points to the buffer.
The W register address will be adjusted automatically at the end of the buffer when an
indirect access with pre/post-decrement is performed (see Figure 3-6).

Bit-Reversed Addressing
3.4.1
Introduction to Bit-Reversed Addressing
Bit-reversed addressing simplifies data re-ordering for radix-2 FFT algorithms. It is supported
through the X WAGU only. Bit-reversed addressing is accomplished by effectively creating a
‘mirror image’ of an address pointer by swapping the bit locations around the center point of the
binary value, as shown in Figure 3-7. An example bit-reversed sequence for a 4-bit address field
is shown in Table 3-1.

3.4.2
Bit-Reversed Addressing Operation
Bit-reversed addressing is only supported by the X WAGU and is controlled by the MODCON
and XBREV special function registers. Bit-reversed addressing is invoked as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Bit-reversed addressing is assigned to one of the W registers using the BWM control bits
(MODCON<11:8>).
Bit-reversed addressing is enabled by setting the BREN control bit (XBREV<15>).
The X AGU bit-reverse modifier is set via the XB control bits (XBREV<14:0>).
When enabled, the bit-reversed addressing hardware will generate bit-reversed addresses, only
when the register indirect with Pre- or Post-increment Addressing modes are used ([Wn++],
[++Wn]). Furthermore, bit-reverse addresses are only generated for Word mode instructions. It
will not function for all other Addressing modes or Byte mode instructions (normal addresses will
be generated).
Note:
3.4.2.1
A write to the MODCON register should not be followed by an instruction that performs an indirect read operation using a W register. Unexpected results may occur.
Some instructions perform an implicit indirect read. These are: POP, RETURN,
RETFIE, RETLW and ULNK.
Modulo Addressing and Bit-Reversed Addressing
Modulo addressing and bit-reversed addressing can be enabled simultaneously using the same
W register, but bit-reversed addressing operation will always take precedence for data writes
when enabled. As an example, the following setup conditions would assign the same W register
to modulo and bit-reversed addressing:
X modulo addressing is enabled (XMODEN = 1)
Bit-reverse addressing is enabled (BREN = 1)
W1 assigned to modulo addressing (XWM<3:0> = 0001)
W1 assigned to bit-reversed addressing (BWM<3:0> = 0001)
For data reads that use W1 as the pointer, modulo address boundary checking will occur. For
data writes using W1 as the destination pointer, the bit-reverse hardware will correct W1 for data
re-ordering.
3.4.2.2
Data Dependencies Associated with XBREV
If bit-reversed addressing has already been enabled by setting the BREN (XBREV<15>) bit, then
a write to the XBREV register should not be followed by an indirect read operation using the W
register, designated as the bit reversed address pointer.

3.4.3
Bit-Reverse Modifier Value
The value loaded into the XBREV register is a constant that indirectly defines the size of the
bit-reversed data buffer. The XB modifier values used with common bit-reversed buffers are
summarized in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2:
Note:

0x0800

0x0001
Only the the bit-reversed modifier values shown will produce valid bit-reversed
address sequences.
The bit-reverse hardware modifies the W register address by performing a ‘reverse-carry’
addition of the W contents and the XB modifier constant. A reverse-carry addition is performed
by adding the bits from left-to-right instead of right-to-left. If a carry-out occurs in a bit location,
the carry out bit is added to the next bit location to the right. Example 3-5 demonstrates the
reverse-carry addition and subsequent W register values using 0x0008 as the XB modifier
value. Note that the XB modifier is shifted one bit location to the left to generate word address
values.

Wn = Wn + XB
0000 0000 0000 1000

Wn points to word 2
+1 0000
Wn = Wn + XB
0000 0000 0001 0100
Wn points to word 10
The XB modifier controls the ‘pivot point’ for the bit-reverse address modification. Bits outside of
the pivot point will not be subject to bit-reversed address corrections.

Data Memory
When XB<14:0> = 0x0008, the bit-reversed buffer size will be 16 words. Bits 1-4 of the W
register will be subject to bit-reversed address correction, but bits 5-15 (outside the pivot point)
will not be modified by the bit-reverse hardware. Bit 0 is not modified because the bit-reverse
hardware only operates on word addresses.
