CHAPTER 2: ARCHITECTURE

•Notes in numbering operations

When performing a numbering operation, set operands in correct notation according to the radix before operation.

For example, if a decimal operation is done for hexadecimal values (AH to FH), the correct operation result is not obtained as shown in the following example.

Example: ADC %B,%A,10

Example 1 operates correctly because a decimal value is loaded in the B and A registers. Examples 3 and 4 do not operate correctly.

Example 2 operates correctly even though it is a wrong setting.

2.1.5 EXT register and data extension

The S1C63000 has a linear 64K-word addressable space, therefore it is required to handle 16-bit address data. The EXT register and the F flag that extend 8-bit data into 16-bit data permit 16-bit data processing. The EXT register is an 8-bit register for storing extension data. The E flag indicates that the EXT register data is valid (extended addressing mode), and is set to "1" by writing data to the EXT register. The E flag is reset at 1 cycle after setting (during executing the next instruction), therefore an EXT register data is valid only for the executable instruction immediately after writing. However, that executable instruction must be a specific instruction which permits the extended addressing to extend the data using the EXT register. These instructions are specified in "Instruction List" and "Detailed Explanation of Instructions". Make sure of the instructions when programming.

Note: Do not use instructions (see Instruction List) which are invalid for the extended addressing when the E flag is set to "1". (Do not use them following instructions that write data to the EXT register or that set the E flag.) Normal operations cannot be guaranteed if such instructions are used.

(1)Operation for EXT register and E flag (flag register)

The following explains the operation for the EXT register and the E flag (flag register).

•Data setting to the EXT register

The following two instructions are provided to set data in the EXT register.

LDB

%EXT,imm8

Loads an 8-bit immediate data to the EXT register

LDB

%EXT,%BA

Loads the content of the BA register to the EXT register

By executing the instruction, the EXT flag is set to "1" and it indicates that the content of the EXT register is valid (the content of the EXT register will be used for data extension in the following instructions).

Furthermore, the content of the EXT register can be read using the instruction below.

LDB %BA,%EXT Loads the content of the EXT register to the BA register

• Setting/resetting the E flag

As mentioned above, the E flag is set to "1" by data setting to the EXT register and reset to "0" while executing the next instruction.

In addition, the E flag can be set/reset using the following instructions that operate the flags.

LD

%F,%A

Writes all the flag data

LD

%F,imm4

Writes all the flag data

AND

%F,imm4

Resets flag(s)

OR

%F,imm4

Sets flag(s)

XOR

%F,imm4

Inverts flag(s)
