Generic bit-banding
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Generic bit-banding is a method used on typical microcontrollers, to allow addressing words of different bit sizes. Every area overlaps each other.
The advantage of generic bitmapping compared to other methods is that it allows direct access to bits, bytes and words.
Other methodes of bit-banding often involves switching operations in the assembly language code, for example, multiplying by 4, 8 and 16 respectively. This takes up space and time.
