8051 Long Call

Long Call – LCALL addr16

LCALL calls a subroutine located at the indicated address. The instruction adds three to the program counter to generate the address of the next instruction and then pushes the 16-bit result onto the stack (low byte first), incrementing the Stack Pointer by two. The high-order and low-order bytes of the PC are then loaded, respectively, with the second and third bytes of the LCALL instruction. Program execution continues with the instruction at this address. The subroutine may therefore begin anywhere in the full 64K byte program memory address space. No flags are affected.

Encoding: 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 addr15-addr8 addr7-addr0

Initially the Stack Pointer equals 07H. The label SUBRTN is assigned to program memory location 1234H. After executing the instruction,

LCALL SUBRTN

at location 0123H, the Stack Pointer will contain 09H, internal RAM locations 08H and 09H will contain 26H and 01H, and the PC will contain 1234H.

Example:

	ORG 0H
MAIN :
	MOV A, #0AAH	; load A with AA
	MOV P2, A	; send AA to port 2
	LCALL TDELAY	; time delay
	MOV A, #55H	; load A with 55
	MOV P2, A	; send AA to port 2
	LCALL TDELAY	; time delay
	SJMP MAIN	; Keep doing this indefinitely

; Delay Subroutine

	ORG 500H	; put time delay subroutine at program memory location 5000H
TDELAY :	MOV R3, #0FFH	; initialize the counter
LOOP :	DJNZ R3, LOOP	; stay her until r5 = 0
	RET	; return to caller
	END
