CPU Introduction
The CPU incorporates features specifically designed for modern
programming techniques such as calculated branching, table processing and
the use of high-level languages such as C. The CPU can address the complete
address range without paging.
The CPU features include:
-
RISC architecture with 27 instructions and 7 addressing modes
-
Orthogonal architecture with every instruction usable with every
addressing mode
-
Full register access including program counter, status registers, and stack
pointer
-
Single-cycle register operations
-
Large 16-bit register file reduces fetches to memory
-
16-bit address bus allows direct access and branching throughout entire
memory range
-
16-bit data bus allows direct manipulation of word-wide arguments
-
Constant generator provides six most used immediate values and
reduces code size
-
Direct memory-to-memory transfers without intermediate register holding
-
Word and byte addressing and instruction formats
