CHAPTER 21 INTERRUPT AND TEST FUNCTIONS
(6) Program status word (PSW)
The program status word is a register to hold the instruction execution result and the current status for interrupt
request. The IE flag to set maskable interrupt enable/disable and the ISP flag to control multiple interrupt
processing are mapped.
Besides 8-bit unit read/write, this register can carry out operations with a bit manipulation instruction and
dedicated instructions (EI and DI). When a vectored interrupt request is acknowledged or when the BRK
instruction is executed, contents of the PSW is automatically saved to the stack and the IE flag is reset to 0.
If a maskable interrupt request is acknowledged contents of the priority specify flag of the acknowledged
interrupt are transferred to the ISP flag. Contents of the PSW is also saved into the stack with the PUSH PSW
instruction. It is reset from the stack with the RETI, RETB, and POP PSW instructions.
RESET input sets PSW to 02H.
