Instructions in the MCS 51 architecture use the accumulator as the primary register for data
moves and calculations. However, in the MCS 251 architecture, any of registers R1–R15 can
serve for these tasks†. As a result, the accumulator does not play the central role that it has in
MCS 51 microcontrollers.

† Bits in the PSW and PSW1 registers reflect the status of the accumulator. There are no equivalent status
indicators for the other registers.
