Interrupt vector location by way of the
program read bus (PRDB)
The ’C2xx program-address generation logic uses the following hardware:
- Program counter (PC). The ’C2xx has a 16-bit program counter (PC) that
addresses internal and external program memory when fetching instruc-
tions.
- Program address register (PAR). The PAR drives the program address
bus (PAB). The PAB is a 16-bit bus that provides program addresses for
both reads and writes.
- Stack. The program-address generation logic includes a 16-bit-wide, 8-
level hardware stack for storing up to eight return addresses. In addition,
you can use the stack for temporary storage.
- Micro stack (MSTACK). Occasionally, the program-address generation
logic uses the 16-bit-wide, 1-level MSTACK to store one return address.
- Repeat counter (RPTC). The 16-bit RPTC is used with the repeat (RPT)
instruction to determine how many times the instruction following RPT is
repeated.
5.1.1 Program Counter (PC)
The program-address generation logic uses the 16-bit program counter (PC)
to address internal and external program memory. The PC holds the address
of the next instruction to be executed. Through the program address bus
(PAB), an instruction is fetched from that address in program memory and
loaded into the instruction register. When the instruction register is loaded, the
PC holds the next address.
