RAM Paging
3.1.2
As mentioned previously, the paging architecture's reset
state puts the PSoC in a mode that is identical to that of a
256 byte PSoC device. Therefore, upon reset, all memory
accesses are set to Page 0. The SRAM page that stack
operations use is determined by the value of the three least
significant bits (LSb) of the stack page pointer register
(STK_PP). Stack operations have no dependency on the
PgMode bits in the CPU_F register. Stack operations are
those that use the Stack Pointer (SP) to calculate their
affected address. Refer to the PSoC Designer Assembly
Language User Guide for more information on all M8C
instructions.
Treat stack memory accesses as a special case. If they are
not, the stack could be fragmented across several pages. To
prevent the stack from fragmenting, all instructions that
operate on the stack automatically use the page indicated
by the STK_PP register. Therefore, if a CALL is encoun-
tered in the program, the PSoC device automatically pushes
the program counter onto the stack page indicated by
STK_PP. Once the program counter is pushed, the SRAM
paging mode automatically switches back to the pre-call
mode. All other stack operations, such as RET and POP, fol-
low the same rule as CALL. The stack is confined to a single
SRAM page and the Stack Pointer wraps from 00h to FFh
and FFh to 00h. The user code must ensure that the stack is
not damaged due to stack wrapping.
Because the value of the STK_PP register can be changed
at any time, it is theoretically possible to manage the stack in
such a way as to allow it to grow beyond one SRAM page or
manage multiple stacks. However, the only supported use of
the STK_PP register is when its value is set prior to the first
stack operation and not changed again.
3.1.3
Interrupts, in a multi-page SRAM PSoC device, operate the
same as interrupts in a 256-byte PSoC device. However,
because the CPU_F register is automatically set to 0x00 on
an interrupt and because of the non-linear nature of inter-
rupts in a system, other parts of the PSoC memory paging
architecture can be affected.
Interrupts are an abrupt change in program flow. If no spe-
cial action is taken on interrupts by the PSoC device, the
interrupt service routine (ISR) could be thrown into any
SRAM page. To prevent this problem, the special address-
ing modes for all memory accesses, except for stack and
MVI, are disabled when an ISR is entered. The special
addressing modes are disabled when the CUP_F register is
cleared. At the end of the ISR, the previous SRAM address-
ing mode is restored when the CPU_F register value is
restored by the RETI instruction.
All interrupt service routine code starts execution in SRAM
Page 0. If it is necessary for the ISR to change to another
SRAM page, it can be accomplished by changing the values

of the CPU_F[7:6] bits to enable the special SRAM address-
ing modes. However, any change made to the CUR_PP,
IDX_PP, or STK_PP registers persists after the ISR returns.
Therefore, the ISR should save the current value of any
paging register it modifies and restore its value before the
ISR returns.
3.1.4
MVI instructions use data page pointers of their own
(MVR_PP and MVW_PP). This allows a data buffer to be
located away from other program variables, but accessible
without changing the Current Page Pointer (CUR_PP).
An MVI instruction performs three memory operations. Both
forms of the MVI instruction access an address in SRAM
that holds the data pointer (a memory read 1st access),
incrementing that value and then storing it back in SRAM (a
memory write 2nd access). This pointer value must reside in
the current page, just as all other non-stack and non-
indexed operations on memory must. However, the third
memory operation uses the MVx_PP register. This third
memory access can be either a read or a write, depending
on which MVI instruction is used. The MVR_PP pointer is
used for the MVI instruction that moves data into the accu-
mulator. The MVW_PP pointer is used for the MVI instruc-
tion that moves data from the accumulator into SRAM. The
MVI pointers are always enabled, regardless of the state of
the Flag register page bits (CPU_F register).
3.1.5
The Current Page Pointer is used to determine which SRAM
page should be used for all memory accesses. Normal
memory accesses are those not covered by other pointers
including all non-stack, non-MVI, and non-indexed memory
access instructions. The normal memory access instructions
have the SRAM page they operate on determined by the
value of the CUR_PP register. By default, the CUR_PP reg-
ister has no affect on the SRAM page that is used for normal
memory access, because all normal memory access is
forced to SRAM Page 0.
The upper bit of the PgMode bits in the CPU_F register
determine whether or not the CUR_PP register affects nor-
mal memory access. When the upper bit of the PgMode bits
is set to ’0’, all normal memory access is forced to SRAM
Page 0. This mode is automatically enabled when an Inter-
rupt Service Routine (ISR) is entered. This is because,
before the ISR is entered, the M8C pushes the current value
of the CPU_F register onto the stack and then clears the
CPU_F register. Therefore, by default, any normal memory
access in an ISR is guaranteed to occur in SRAM Page 0.
When the RETI instruction is executed to end the ISR, the
previous value of the CPU_F register is restored, restoring
the previous page mode. Note that this ISR behavior is the
default and that the PgMode bits in the CPU_F register can
be changed while in an ISR. If the PgMode bits are changed
while in an ISR, the pre-ISR value is still restored by the
MVI Instructions
