8 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
8.1 INTRODUCTION
This CPU has a full 8-bit architecture and contains
six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data
manipulation.
8.2 MAIN FEATURES
■ 63 basic instructions
■ Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply
■ 17 main addressing modes
■ Two 8-bit index registers
■ 16-bit stack pointer
■ Low power modes
■ Maskable hardware interrupts
■ Non-maskable software interrupt
8.3 CPU REGISTERS
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 10 are not
present in the memory mapping and are accessed
by specific instructions.
Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose reg-
ister used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers
are used to create either effective addresses or
temporary storage areas for data manipulation.
(The Cross-Assembler generates a precede in-
struction (PRE) to indicate that the following in-
struction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt auto-
matic procedures (not pushed to and popped from
the stack).
Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing
the address of the next instruction to be executed
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).
