CHAPTER 17 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS
(5) Program status word (PSW)
The program status word is a register used to hold the instruction execution result and the current status for an
interrupt request. The IE flag that sets maskable interrupt enable/disable and the ISP flag that controls multiple
interrupt servicing are mapped to the PSW.
Besides 8-bit read/write, this register can carry out operations using bit manipulation instructions and dedicated
instructions (EI and DI). When a vectored interrupt request is acknowledged, if the BRK instruction is executed,
the contents of the PSW are automatically saved into a stack and the IE flag is reset to 0. If a maskable interrupt
request is acknowledged, the contents of the priority specification flag of the acknowledged interrupt are
transferred to the ISP flag. The PSW contents are also saved into the stack with the PUSH PSW instruction.
They are restored from the stack with the RETI, RETB, and POP PSW instructions.
Reset signal generation sets PSW to 02H.
