Data retention after CPU power interruption
The CPU performs the following actions regarding retentive memory at power down and
power up:
●
At power down:
The CPU saves the memory ranges designated as retentive to permanent memory.
●
At power up:
The CPU first clears V, M, C, and T memory, copies any initial values from the data block
to V memory, and then copies the saved retentive values from permanent memory to
RAM.
