The document discusses different addressing modes of the 8051 microcontroller. It describes five addressing modes: immediate, register, direct, indirect, and index addressing modes. Immediate addressing uses a constant in the operand field. Register addressing accesses operands stored in registers. Direct addressing specifies the operand with an 8-bit address. Indirect addressing specifies a register containing the operand address. Index addressing accesses a look-up table using the accumulator and base register sum as the address.
