8XC196NP, 80C196NU USER’S MANUAL

5.2.2.2Special-purpose Memory

Special-purpose memory resides in locations FF2000–FF207FH. It contains several reserved memory locations, the chip configuration bytes (CCBs), and vectors for both peripheral transac- tion server (PTS) and standard interrupts. Note that the special-purpose memory partition of the 80C196NU differs slightly from that of the 8XC196NP. Table 5-3 describes the special-purpose memory; bold type highlights the differences.
