CHAPTER 3 CPU

3.4.5Stack Operation at Interrupt Processing

This section describes how values in registers are saved and restored at interrupt processing.

Stack Operation at the Beginning of Interrupt Processing

After accepting an interrupt, the CPU automatically saves the values in the program counter (PC) and program status (PS) in the stack.

Figure 3.4-5shows the stack operation at the beginning of interrupt processing.

Stack Operation at the End of Interrupt Processing

When the return instruction (RETI) is executed at the end of interrupt processing, the values in the program status (PS) and the program counter (PC) are restored from the stack in that order (which is opposite to that at the beginning of interrupt processing). This operation restores the values in the PS and PC to those values used before interruption.

Note:

Values in the accumulator (A) and temporary accumulator (T) are not automatically saved in the stack. Therefore, save and restore the values using the PUSHW and POPW instructions.
