Bit 5 - H: Half Carry Flag
The half carry flag H indicates a half carry in some arithmetic operations. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed
information.
•
Bit 4 - S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the two’s complement overflow flag V. See the Instruc-
tion Set Description for detailed information.
•
Bit 3 - V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The two’s complement overflow flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the Instruction Set Description for
detailed information.
•
Bit 2 - N: Negative Flag
The negative flag N indicates a negative result after the different arithmetic and logic operations. See the Instruction Set
Description for detailed information.
•
Bit 1 - Z: Zero Flag
The zero flag Z indicates a zero result after the different arithmetic and logic operations. See the Instruction Set Description
for detailed information.
•
Bit 0 - C: Carry Flag
The carry flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed
information.
Note that the status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning from
an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
Stack Pointer - SP
The general AVR 16-bit Stack Pointer is effectively built up of two 8-bit registers in the I/O space locations $3E ($5E) and
$3D ($5D). As the AT90S4414/8515 supports up to 64 kB external SRAM, all 16-bits are used.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are located. This Stack
space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are
enabled. The stack pointer must be set to point above $60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed
onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when an address is pushed onto the Stack with
subroutine calls and interrupts. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is popped from the Stack with the POP
instruction, and it is incremented by two when an address is popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or
return from interrupt RETI.
Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AT90S4414/8515 provides 12 different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate reset vector, each have a
separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be set
(one) together with the I-bit in the status register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are automatically defined as the Reset and Interrupt vectors. The
complete list of vectors is shown in Table 3. The list also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower
the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 - the External Interrupt Request
0 etc.
