If opting to preload the loop address to an internal 16-bit register, the most time and code efficient means is by performing
the load in the instruction just prior to the top of the loop:
move LC[1], #10h
; Set loop counter to 16
move LC[0], IP
; Set loop address to the next address
LoopTop:
; loop addr not relative to djnz LC[n],src
...
23.7.6 - Conditional returns
Similar to the conditional jumps, the DS4830 microcontroller also supports a set of conditional return operations. Based
upon the value of one of the status flags, the CPU can conditionally pop the stack and begin execution at the address
popped from the stack. If the condition is not true, the conditional return instruction does not pop the stack and does not
change the instruction pointer. The following conditional return operations are supported:
RET C
; if C=1, a RET is executed
RET NC
; if C=0, a RET is executed
RET Z
; if Z=1 (Acc=00h), a RET is executed
RET NZ
; if Z=0 (Acc<>00h), a RET is executed
RET S
; if S=1, a RET is executed
23.8 - Handling Interrupts
Handling interrupts in the DS4830 microcontroller is a three-part process.
First, the location of the interrupt handling routine must be set by writing the address to the 16-bit Interrupt Vector (IV)
register. This register defaults to 0000h on reset, but this will usually not be the desired location since this will often be the
location of reset / power-up code.
move IV, IntHandler
; move PFX[0], #high(IntHandler)
; move IV, #low(IntHandler)
; PFX[0] write not needed if IntHandler addr=0023h
Next, the interrupt must be enabled. For any interrupts to be handled, the IGE bit in the Interrupt and Control register (IC)
must first be set to 1. Next, the interrupt itself must be enabled at the module level and locally within the module itself. The
module interrupt enable is located in the Interrupt Mask register, while the location of the local interrupt enable will vary
depending on the module in which the interrupt source is located.
Once the interrupt handler receives the interrupt, the Interrupt in Service (INS) bit will be set by hardware to block further
interrupts, and execution control is transferred to the interrupt service routine. Within the interrupt service routine, the
source of the interrupt must be determined. Since all interrupts go to the same interrupt service routine, the Interrupt
Identification Register (IIR) must be examined to determine which module initiated the interrupt. For example, the II0
(IIR.0) bit will be set if there is a pending interrupt from module 0. These bits cannot be cleared directly; instead, the
appropriate bit flag in the module must be cleared once the interrupt is handled.
INS is set automatically on entry to the interrupt handler and cleared automatically on exit (RETI).
IntHandler:

; save C since used in identification process
move C, IIR.X
; check highest priority flag in IIR
jump C, ISR_X
; if IIR.X is set, interrupt from module X
move C, IIR.Y
; check next highest priority int source
jump C, ISR_Y
; if IIR.Y is set, interrupt from module Y
