3.3
The Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte (PC<12:8>) is not
directly readable or writable and comes from PCLATH.
On any Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-3 shows the
two situations for the loading of the PC. The upper
example in Figure 3-3 shows how the PC is loaded on a
write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0>
ple in Figure 3-3 shows how the PC is loaded during a
CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3>
FIGURE 3-3:
3.3.1
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When perform-
ing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the
Application Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read”
(DS00556).
3.3.2
The PIC12F683 family has an 8-level x 13-bit wide
hardware stack (see Figure 3-1). The stack space is
not part of either program or data space and the Stack
Pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed
onto the stack when a CALL instruction is executed or
an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in
the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction
execution. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP
operation.

The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth
push overwrites the value that was stored from the first
push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and
so on).
3.4
The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF
register. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses data pointed to by the File Select
Register (FSR). Reading INDF itself indirectly will
produce 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly
results in a no operation (although Status bits may be
affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by
concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit of
the STATUS register, as shown in Figure 3-4.
A simple program to clear RAM location 20h-2Fh using
indirect addressing is shown in Example 3-1.

called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
