Central Processor Unit (CPU)
3.4 Index Register
The index register is a general-purpose 8-bit register as shown in Figure
3-3. In the indexed addressing modes, the CPU uses the byte in the
index register to determine the conditional address of the operand.

The 8-bit index register can also serve as a temporary data storage
location.
3.5 Stack Pointer
The stack pointer is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next
location on the stack as shown in Figure 3-4. During a reset or after the
reset stack pointer (RSP) instruction, the stack pointer initializes to
$00FF. The address in the stack pointer decrements as data is pushed
onto the stack and increments as data is pulled from the stack.

Figure 3-4. Stack Pointer (SP)
The 10 most significant bits of the stack pointer are permanently fixed at
0000000011, so the stack pointer produces addresses from $00C0 to
$00FF. If subroutines and interrupts use more than 64 stack locations,
the stack pointer wraps around to address $00FF and begins writing
over the previously stored data. A subroutine uses two stack locations;
an interrupt uses five locations.
