FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
PROGRAM ROM (4K X 8 bits)
4 K x 8 bits program ROM contains user's program and some fixed data.
The basic structure of program ROM can be divided into 5 parts.
1. Address 000h: Reset start address.
2. Address 002h - 00Ch : 6 kinds of interrupt service routine entry addresses.
3. Address 00Eh-086h : SCALL subroutine entry address, only available at 00Eh,016h,01Eh,026h, 02Eh,
036h, 03Eh, 046h, 04Eh, 056h, 05Eh, 066h, 06Eh, 076h, 07Eh, 086h.
4. Address 000h - 7FFh : LCALL subroutine entry address.
5. Address 000h - FFFh : Except used as above function, the other region can be used as user's program region.

User's program and fixed data are stored in the program ROM. User's program is according the PC value
to send next executed instruction code. Fixed data can be read out by two ways.
(1) Table-look-up instruction :
Table -look-up instruction is depended on the Data Pointer (DP) to indicate to ROM address, then to get the
ROM code data.

DP is a 12-bit data register which can store the program ROM address to be the pointer for the ROM code
data. First, user load ROM address into DP by instruction "STADPL, STADPM, STADPH", then user can
get the lower nibble of ROM code data by instruction "LDAX" and higher nibble by instruction "LDAXI".
PROGRAM EXAMPLE: Read out the ROM code of address 777h by table-look-up instruction.

ZERO-PAGE:
From 00h to 0Fh is the location of zero-page. It is used as the pointer in zero-page addressing mode for the
instruction of "STD #k,y; ADD #k,y; CLR y,b; CMP k,y".
PROGRAM EXAMPLE: To wirte immediate data "07h" to address "03h" of RAM and to clear bit 2 of RAM.
STD #07h, 03h ; RAM[03] ← 07h
CLR 0Eh,2 ; RAM[0Eh]2 ← 0
STACK:
There are 13-level (maximum) stack for user using for subroutine (including interrupt and CALL). User can
assign any level be the starting stack by giving the level number to stack pointer (SP).
When user using any instruction of CALL or subroutine, before entry the subroutine, the previous PC address
will be saved into stack until return from those subroutines, the PC value will be restored by the data saved
in stack.
DATA AREA:
Except the special area used by user, the whole RAM can be used as data area for storing and loading general
data.
ADDRESSING MODE
(1) Indirect addressing mode:
Indirect addressing mode indicates the RAM address by specified HL register.
For example: LDAM ; Acc ← RAM[HL]
STAM ; RAM[HL] ← Acc
(2) Direct addressing mode:
Direct addressing mode indicates the RAM address by immediate data.

For zero-page region, user can using direct addressing to write or do any arithematic, comparsion or bit
manupulated operation directly.
For example:
PROGRAM COUNTER (4K ROM)
Program counter ( PC ) is composed by a 12-bit counter, which indicates the next executed address for the
instruction of program ROM.
For a 4K - byte size ROM, PC can indicate address form 000h - FFFh, for BRANCH and CALL instrcutions,
PC is changed by instruction indicating.

Preliminary
Accumulator is a 4-bit data register for temporary data. For the arithematic, logic and comparative opertion
.., ACC plays a role which holds the source data and result.
FLAGS
There are four kinds of flag, CF ( Carry flag ), ZF ( Zero flag ), SF ( Status flag ) and GF ( General flag ),
these 4 1-bit flags are affected by the arithematic, logic and comparative .... operation.
All flags will be put into stack when an interrupt subroutine is served, and the flags will be restored after
RTI instruction executed.
(1) Carry Flag ( CF )
The carry flag is affected by following operation:
a. Addition : CF as a carry out indicator, when the addition operation has a carry-out, CF will be "1",
in another word, if the operation has no carry-out, CF will be "0".
b. Subtraction : CF as a borrow-in indicator, when the subtraction operation must has a borrow, in the CF
will be "0", in another word, if no borrow-in, CF will be "1".
c. Comparision: CF is as a borrow-in indicator for Comparision operation as the same as subtraction
operation.
d. Rotation: CF shifts into the empty bit of accumulator for the rotation and holds the shift out data after
rotation.
e. CF test instruction : For TFCFC instruction, the content of CF sends into SF then clear itself "0".
For TTSFC instruction, the content of CF sends into SF then set itself "1".
(2) Zero Flag ( ZF )
ZF is affected by the result of ALU, if the ALU operation generate a "0" result, the ZF will be "1",
otherwise, the ZF will be "0".
(3) Status Flag ( SF )
The SF is affected by instruction operation and system status.
a. SF is initiated to "1" for reset condition.
b. Branch instruction is decided by SF, when SF=1, branch condition will be satisified, otherwise,
branch condition will not be satisified by SF = 0.
(4) General Flag ( GF )
GF is a one bit general purpose register which can be set, clear, test by instruction SGF, CGF and TGS.
PROGRAM EXAMPLE:
Check following arithematic operation for CF, ZF, SF

ALU
The arithematic operation of 4 - bit data is performed in ALU unit. There are 2 flags can be affected by the
result of ALU operation, ZF and SF. The operation of ALU can be affected by CF only.
ALU STRUCTURE

ALU FUNCTION
(1) Addition:
For instruction ADDAM, ADCAM, ADDM #k, ADD #k,y .... ALU supports addition function.
The addition operation can affect CF and ZF. For addition operation, if the result is "0", ZF will be "1",
otherwise, not equal "0", ZF will be "0". When the addition operation has a carry-out, CF will be "1",
otherwise, CF will be "0".
EXAMPLE:
Operation Carry Zero
3+4=7 0 0
7+F=6 1 0
0+0=0 0 1
8+8=0 1 1
(2) Subtraction:
For instruction SUBM #k, SUBA #k, SBCAM, DECM... ALU supports user subtraction function. The
subtraction operation can affect CF and ZF, For subtraction operation, if the result is negative, CF will
be "0", it means a borrow out, otherwise, if the result is positive, CF will be "1". For ZF, if the result of
subtraction operation is "0", the ZF will be "1", otherwise, ZF will be "1".

(3) Rotation:
There are two kinds of rotation operation, one is rotation left, the other is rotation right.
RLCA instruction rotates Acc value to left, shift the CF value into the LSB bit of Acc and the shift out data
will be hold in CF.
