The stack pointer (SP/R1) is used by the CPU to store the return addresses of subroutine calls and interrupts. It uses a predecrement, postincrement scheme. In addition, the SP can be used by software with all instructions and addressing modes. Figure 3-3 shows the SP. The SP is initialized into RAM by the user, and is aligned to even addresses.
Figure 3-4 shows stack usage.
15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Stack Pointer Bits 15 to 1 | 0 |
MOV 2(SP),R6 ; Item I2 -> R6
MOV R7,0(SP) ; Overwrite TOS with R7
PUSH #0123h ; Put 0123h onto TOS
POP R8 ; R8 = 0123h
The special cases of using the SP as an argument to the PUSH and POP instructions are described and shown in Figure 3-5.
