only be used in modes 1 to 7. This means that the mode pins must be set to select one of these 
modes. 
Do not change the inputs at the mode pins during operation. 
3.1.3 Register Configuration 
The H8S/2319 Group has a mode control register (MDCR) that indicates the inputs at the mode 
pins (MD2 to MD0), and a system control register (SYSCR) and system control register 2 
(SYSCR2)

Notes: 1.  Lower 16 bits of the address. 
  2.  The SYSCR2 register can only be used in the F-ZTAT versions. In the mask ROM and 
ROMless versions this register will return an undefined value if read, and cannot be 
modified.

MDCR is an 8-bit read-only register that indicates the current operating mode of the H8S/2319 
Group chip. 
Bit 7—Reserved: This bit is always read as 1, and cannot be modified. 
Bits 6 to 3—Reserved: These bits are always read as 0, and cannot be modified.
