CHAPTER 3 CPU

3.4.6Stack Area for Interrupt Processing

A stack area on RAM is used for interrupt processing. The value in the stack pointer (SP) is used as the start address of the stack area.

Stack Area for Interrupt Processing

The stack area is used to save/restore the value in the program counter (PC) when executing the subroutine call instruction (CALL) or vector call instruction (CALLV) or temporarily save and restore values in registers or other storage with the PUSHW and POPW instruction.

Locate the stack area on RAM together with the data area.

It is recommended that the initial settings be specified such that the stack pointer (SP) indicates the highest address of RAM and that the data area be set up from the lowest address of RAM.

Figure 3.4-6is an example showing the stack area.

Note:

For the stack area, interrupts, subroutine calls, or PUSHW instruction use addresses in descending order, and the return instructions (RETI and RET) or the POPW instruction releases addresses in the stack area in ascending order. When a lower address is used in the stack area due to multiple interrupts or subroutine calls, make arrangements so that the stack area does not overlap with the data area and general-purpose register area containing other data.
