19.3.5 Program status word (PSW)
The program status word is a register used to hold the instruction execution result and the current status for an
interrupt request. The IE flag that sets maskable interrupt enable/disable and the ISP0 and ISP1 flags that
controls multiple interrupt servicing are mapped to the PSW.
Besides 8-bit read/write, this register can carry out operations using bit manipulation instructions and dedicated
instructions (EI and DI). When a vectored interrupt request is acknowledged, if the BRK instruction is executed,
the contents of the PSW are automatically saved into a stack and the IE flag is reset to 0. Upon acknowledgment
of a maskable interrupt request, if the value of the priority specification flag register of the acknowledged interrupt
is not 00, its value minus 1 is transferred to the ISP0 and ISP1 flags. The PSW contents are also saved into the
stack with the PUSH PSW instruction. They are restored from the stack with the RETI, RETB, and POP PSW
instructions.
Reset signal generation sets PSW to 06H.
