2.4.4  Condition-Code Register (CCR) 
This 8-bit register contains internal CPU status information, including an interrupt mask bit (I) and 
half-carry (H), negative (N), zero (Z), overflow (V), and carry (C) flags. 
Operations can be performed on the CCR bits by the LDC, STC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC 
instructions. The N, Z, V, and C flags are used as branching conditions for conditional branch 
(Bcc) instructions. 
Bit  Bit Name  Initial Value  R/W  Description 
7  I  1  R/W  Interrupt Mask Bit 
Masks interrupts other than NMI when set to 1. 
NMI is accepted regardless of the I bit setting. 
The I bit is set to 1 by hardware at the start of an 
exception-handling sequence. For details, refer 
to section 5, Interrupt Controller. 
6 UI  undefined R/W  User Bit or Interrupt Mask Bit 
Can be written and read by software using the 
LDC, STC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC 
instructions. This bit cannot be used as an 
interrupt mask bit in this LSI. 
5 H  undefined R/W Half-Carry Flag 
When the ADD.B, ADDX.B, SUB.B, SUBX.B, 
CMP.B, or NEG.B instruction is executed, this 
flag is set to 1 if there is a carry or borrow at bit 
3, and cleared to 0 otherwise. When the 
ADD.W, SUB.W, CMP.W, or NEG.W instruction 
is executed, the H flag is set to 1 if there is a 
carry or borrow at bit 11, and cleared to 0 
otherwise. When the ADD.L, SUB.L, CMP.L, or 
NEG.L instruction is executed, the H flag is set 
to 1 if there is a carry or borrow at bit 27, and 
cleared to 0 otherwise. 
4 U  undefined R/W User Bit 
Can be written and read by software using the 
LDC, STC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC 
instructions. 
3 N  undefined R/W Negative Flag 
Stores the value of the most significant bit of 
data as a sign bit.
