(8) Program counter (PC)
Program counter (PC) is used to specify a ROM address (page and
address). It determines a sequence in which instructions stored in
ROM are read. It is a binary counter that increments the number of
instruction bytes each time an instruction is executed. However,
the value changes to a specified address when branch instructions,
subroutine call instructions, return instructions, or the table refer-
ence instruction (TABP p) is executed.
Program counter consists of PCH (most significant bit to bit 7)
which specifies to a ROM page and PCL (bits 6 to 0) which speci-
fies an address within a page. After it reaches the last address
(address 127) of a page, it specifies address 0 of the next page
(Figure 7).
Make sure that the PCH does not specify after the last page of the
built-in ROM.
(9) Data pointer (DP)
Data pointer (DP) is used to specify a RAM address and consists
of registers Z, X, and Y. Register Z specifies a RAM file group, reg-
ister X specifies a file, and register Y specifies a RAM digit (Figure
8).
Register Y is also used to specify the port D bit position.
When using port D, set the port D bit position to register Y certainly
and execute the SD, RD, or SZD instruction (Figure 9).
• Note
Register Z of data pointer is undefined after system is released
from reset.
Also, registers Z, X and Y are undefined in the RAM back-up. After
system is returned from the RAM back-up, set these registers.
