4. STACK

The stack is a register used to save an address returned by a program or the contents of the system register,

described later, when a subroutine call occurs or an interrupt is accepted.

4.1

COMPONENTS

The stack consists of a stack pointer (SP), which is a 4-bit binary counter, six 13-bit address stack registers

(ASRs), and two 3-bit interrupt stack registers.

4.2

STACK POINTER (SP)

The stack pointer is located at address 01H in the register file, and specifies an address stack register. The

contents of the stack pointer are decremented by 1 whenever a push operation (CALL, MOVT, or PUSH

instruction or interrupt acceptance) is performed, or incremented by 1 whenever a pop operation (RET, RETSK,

RETI, MOVT, or POP instruction) is performed.

The high-order bit of the stack pointer is always set to 0. The stack pointer can indicate any of eight different

values, 0H to 7H. However, 6H and 7H are not assigned to the stack.
