| - | Addressing modes define how the processor accesses data. There are 15 different addressing modes, such as: Direct Addressing, Indirect Addressing, Indirect with Displacement, | + | Addressing modes define how the processor accesses data and the target address of a jump. There are more than a dozen different addressing modes, such as: Direct Addressing, Indirect Addressing, Indirect with Displacement, |

| + | This addressing mode does not address data but rather modifies the program execution flow. It is used in jump and subroutine call instructions. These instructions use the constant immediate to specify the absolute target address to jump to. As shown in Fig {{ref> | ||

| + | The target address of the jump or call can be stored in the Z pointer register. After **ijmp** or **icall**, program execution continues at the address contained by the Z register (i.e., the PC is loaded with the contents of the Z register). It is shown in Fig {{ref> | ||

| =====Extended Indirect Program Memory Addressing===== | =====Extended Indirect Program Memory Addressing===== | ||
| + | For versions of AVR microcontrollers with bigger program memory than 128 kB, additional bits used to extend the address are stored in the EIND register. Program execution continues at the address contained by the Z register and the EIND register (i.e., the PC is loaded with the contents of the EIND and Z register) as shown in fig {{ref> | ||
