Memory Organization

RAM

The HC705JB3 includes on-chip RAM for temporary data storage, with addressing managed by the stack pointer (SP) and index register (X).

ROM

Mask-programmable ROM stores firmware and application code, with memory-mapped I/O registers for peripheral control.

I/O Registers

Dedicated registers for configuring and monitoring I/O ports, interrupts, and system functions.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Registers

• Accumulator (A) – Primary register for arithmetic and logic operations.
• Index Register (X) – Used for indexed addressing modes.
• Stack Pointer (SP) – Manages the call/return stack.
• Program Counter (PC) – Tracks instruction execution.
• Condition Code Register (CCR) – Contains status flags (H, I, N, Z, C).

Condition Code Flags

• Half Carry (H) – Indicates carry between nibbles in BCD operations.
• Interrupt Mask (I) – Globally enables/disables interrupts.
• Negative (N) – Reflects the sign of operation results.
• Zero (Z) – Set when an operation yields zero.
• Carry/Borrow (C) – Indicates arithmetic carry or borrow.

Interrupt System

Interrupt Vectors

Predefined memory locations for RESET, IRQ, and SWI handlers.

Interrupt Processing

Hardware saves CPU state before executing interrupt service routines (ISRs).

Reset Sequence

Initializes registers, stack, and program execution from a predefined address.
