Core Control Registers
OVE
Bit 20
Overflow Exception Enable Bit —
Enables or disables the generation of an
exception caused by an overflow. The
DOVF bit in EMR is always set when an
overflow occurs. If the OVE bit is set and
the DOVF bit is already set, no exception
is generated until the DOVF bit is cleared
and set again.
See
Section 3.1.2, “Exception and Mode
for more information.
This bit is cleared at core reset.
0 = Overflow exception generation is disabled
1 = Overflow exception generation is enabled, unless DOVF
bit in EMR is already 1
DI
Bit 19
Disable Interrupts Bit — When this bit
is set, no maskable interrupts are
serviced, regardless of the IPL values,
which remain unchanged.
This bit can be set with the DI instruction,
which ensures that interrupts are
masked immediately, and can be cleared
with the EI instruction.
This bit is cleared at core reset.
0 = Interrupts enabled
1 = Interrupts disabled
EXP
Bit 18
Exception Mode Bit — Selects the
active stack pointer and working mode of
the core.
This bit is set at core reset.
0 = Normal working mode, active SP is NSP
1 = Exception working mode, active SP is ESP
R

17–12
Reserved
VF3–VF0
Bits 11–8
Viterbi Flags — Reflect the status of the
two parallel conditional transfers in the
MAX2VIT instruction. These flags are
generally used in conjunction with the
VSL instructions. Two Viterbi flags can
be independently set or cleared
according to the MAX2VIT result.
For more information, see MAX2VIT and
VSL in
These bits are cleared at core reset.
0 = Appropriate 16-bit portion transferred
1 = Appropriate 16-bit portion not transferred
