Abstract
A method of indirect addressing involves use of a bank select register and a bank of multiple directly-accessible registers to indirectly access registers of a memory device. Bank select data is written to the bank control register, specifying a bank of registers to be indirectly accessed. Read and/or write operations are then performed, for example, reading data from the specified bank of registers and transferring it to the bank of directly-accessible registers, or writing data to the bank of directly-accessible registers from an external source, and transferring the data to the registers of the specified bank.
