CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT(Cont’d)

Stack Pointer (SP)

Read/Write

Reset Value: 01 FFh

The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is al-

ways pointing to the next free location in the stack.

It is then decremented after data has been pushed

onto the stack and incremented before data is

popped from the stack (see Figure 7).

Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the most signif-

icant byte is forced by hardware. Following an

MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruc-

tion (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset val-

ue (the SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack

higher address.

The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer can

be directly accessed by a LD instruction.

Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack

Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, with-

out indicating the stack overflow. The previously

stored information is then overwritten and there-

fore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an under-

flow.

The stack is used to save the return address dur-

ing a subroutine call and the CPU context during

an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate

the stack by means of the PUSH and POP instruc-

tions. In the case of an interrupt, the PCL is stored

at the first location pointed to by the SP. Then the

other registers are stored in the next locations as

shown in Figure 7.

– When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-

mented and the context is pushed on the stack.

– On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented

and the context is popped from the stack.

A subroutine call occupies two locations and an in-

terrupt five locations in the stack area.
