Program Counter

The program counter (PC) is a 16 bit register that contains the address of the next byte to be fetched from memory. When the current value of the program counter is placed on the address buss, the program counter will be incremented automatically.

Stack Pointer

The Stack Pointer (SP) is a 16 bit (2 byte) register that contains a beginning address, normally in RAM, where the status of the MPU registers may be stored when the MPU has other functions to perform, such as during an interrupt or during a Branch to Subroutine (BTS). The address in the stack pointer is the starting address of sequential memory locations in RAM where MPU status registers will be stored. The status of the MPU will be stored in the RAM as follows:

Stack Pointer Address : contents of PCL

Stack Pointer Address-1 : contents of PCH

Stack Pointer Address-2 : contents of IXL

Stack Pointer Address-3 : contents of IXH

Stack Pointer Address-4 : contents of ACCA
