Stack Pointer (SP)
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family of products is configured for an internal
stack. The size of the stack is limited only by the available memory space or gen-
eral-purpose RAM registers dedicated to this task. An 8-bit stack pointer, as
described in Table 17, is used for all stack operations.
