CPU registers

The six CPU registers shown in Figure 11 are not present in the memory mapping and are

accessed by specific instructions.

Accumulator (A)

The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the results

of the arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate data.

Index Registers (X and Y)

These 8-bit registers are used to create effective addresses or as temporary storage areas

for data manipulation. (The Cross-Assembler generates a precede instruction (PRE) to

indicate that the following instruction refers to the Y register.)

The Y register is not affected by the interrupt automatic procedures.

Program Counter (PC)

The program counter is a 16-bit register containing the address of the next instruction to be

executed by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL (Program Counter Low which is

the LSB) and PCH (Program Counter High which is the MSB).
