(a) Interrupt enable flag (IE)
This flag controls the interrupt request acknowledge operations of the CPU.
When 0, the IE flag is set to the interrupt disabled (DI) state, and all maskable interrupt requests are disabled.
When 1, the IE flag is set to the interrupt enabled (EI) state and maskable interrupt request acknowledgment is
controlled with an in-service priority flag (ISP1, ISP0), an interrupt mask flag for various interrupt sources, and a
priority specification flag.
The IE flag is reset (0) upon DI instruction execution or interrupt acknowledgment and is set (1) upon EI instruction
execution.
(b) Zero flag (Z)
When the operation or comparison result is zero or equal, this flag is set (1). It is reset (0) in all other cases.
(c) Register bank select flags (RBS0, RBS1)
These are 2-bit flags to select one of the four register banks.
In these flags, the 2-bit information that indicates the register bank selected by SEL RBn instruction execution is
stored.
(d) Auxiliary carry flag (AC)
If the operation result has a carry from bit 3 or a borrow at bit 3, this flag is set (1). It is reset (0) in all other cases.
(e) In-service priority flags (ISP1, ISP0)
These flags manage the priority of acknowledgeable maskable vectored interrupts. Vectored interrupt requests
specified lower than the value of ISP0 and ISP1 flags by the priority specification flag registers (PRn0L, PRn0H,
PRn1L, PRn1H) (see 14.3.3) cannot be acknowledged. Actual vectored interrupt request acknowledgment is
controlled by the interrupt enable flag (IE).
Remark n = 0, 1
(f) Carry flag (CY)
This flag stores overflow and underflow upon add/subtract instruction execution. It stores the shift-out value upon
rotate instruction execution and functions as a bit accumulator during bit operation instruction execution.
