CHAPTER 7 INTERRUPT
7.8 Stack Operations for Interrupt Processing
Once an interrupt is accepted, the contents of the dedicated registers are automatically
saved to the system stack before a branch to interrupt processing. When the interrupt
processing terminates, the previous processing is automatically restored from the
stack.
■
Stack Operations at the Start of Interrupt Processing
Once an interrupt is accepted, the CPU automatically saves the contents of the current dedicated registers to
the system stack in the order given below:
• Accumulator (A)
• Direct page register (DPR)
• Additional data bank register (ADB)
• Data bank register (DTB)
•
Program bank register (PCB)
• Program counter (PC)
• Processor status (PS)
Figure 7.8-1 shows the stack operations at the start of interrupt processing.

■
Stack Operations on Return from Interrupt Processing
When the interrupt return instruction (RETI) is executed at the termination of interrupt processing, the PS,
PC, PCB, DTB, ADB, DPR and A values are returned from the stack in reverse order from the order they
were placed on the stack. The dedicated registers are restored to the status they had immediately before the
start of interrupt processing.
