RETURN ADDRESS STACK AND ASSOCIATED REGISTERS

4.2.3

PUSH

AND POP INSTRUCTIONS

Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,

the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values

off the stack, without disturbing normal program execu-

tion, is a desirable option. To push the current PC value

onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.

This will increment the stack pointer and load the cur-

rent PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL

can then be modified to place a return address on the

stack.

The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and

replace it with the value that was previously pushed

onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is

achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruc-

tion discards the current TOS by decrementing the

stack pointer. The previous value pushed onto the

stack then becomes the TOS value.

4.2.4

STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS

These RESETS are enabled by programming the

STVREN configuration bit. When the STVREN bit is

disabled, a full or underflow condition will set the appro-

priate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device

RESET. When the STVREN bit is enabled, a full or

underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or

STKUNF bit and then cause a device RESET. The

STKFUL or STKUNF bits are only cleared by the user

software or a POR Reset.

STKFUL: Stack Full Flag bit

= Stack became full or overflowed

= Stack has not become full or overflowed

bit 6

STKUNF: Stack Underflow Flag bit

= Stack underflow occurred

= Stack underflow did not occur

R = Readable bit

W = Writable bit

U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

- n = Value at POR

‘1’ = Bit is set
