Abstract
A method of generating addresses in a microprocessor includes steps of storing first informationrepresentative of a first address in a first register, such as a program counter register. The first information is transmitted to a first address bus in order to effect addressing the contents of a first location represented by the first address. The first information is also transmitted via the address bus to an incrementor-decrementor circuit. The first information is incremented to produce second information representative of the address of the next instruction during the addressing of the first location. The second information is then transmitted to the first register.
