8XC196NP, 80C196NU USER’S MANUAL

5.3.1Selecting a Window

The window selection register (Figure 5-5) has two functions. The HLDEN bit (WSR.7) enables and disables the bus-hold protocol (see Chapter 13, “Interfacing with External Me mory”); it is unrelated to windowing. The remaining bits select a window to be mapped into the top of the low- er register file. Window selection register 1 (Figure 5-6) selects a second window to be mapped into the middle of the 80C196NU’s lower register file.

Table 5-8 provides a quick reference of WSR values for windowing the peripheral SFRs. Table 5-9 on page 5-15 lists the WSR values for windowing the upper register file.

WSR

Address:

0014H

 

Reset State:

00H

The window selection register (WSR) has two functions. One bit enables and disables the bus-hold protocol. The remaining bits select windows. Windows map sections of RAM into the top of the lower register file, in 32-, 64-, or 128-byte increments. PUSHA saves this register on the stack and POPA restores it.
