Banks size in 8051

I read a book about intel 8051 in which the author says, 8051 has three banks 00h to 1Fh, each bank has 8 registers and each bank is of 8 bytes. ?

Now I am confused what does he mean by each bank is of 8 bytes when each bank has 8 registers each 8 bytes wide. Kindly guide me

Regards

Solution

  • bank is of 8 bytes when each bank has 8 registers each 8 bytes wide

    A register is 8 bits wide, and not 8 bytes.
