Question: what is dptr in microcontroller?
Answer: The Data Pointer (DPTR) is the 8051's only user-accessible 16-bit (2-byte) register. The Accumulator, R0–R7 registers and B register are 1-byte value registers. DPTR is meant for pointing to data. It is used by the 8051 to access external memory using the address indicated by DPTR.
