Port 0 can be programmed to provide either four additional address lines (A11–A8), which
increases the addressable memory to 4 KB, or eight additional address lines (A15–A8),
which increases the addressable external memory up to 64 KB. It is required to add a NOP
after configuring Port 0/Port 1 for external addressing before jumping to external memory
execution.
External Stacks
Z8
®
CPU architecture supports stack operations in either the Z8 Standard Register File or
external data memory. A stack’s location is determined by bit 2 in the Port 0–1 Mode Reg-
ister (
F8h). If bit 2 is set to 0, the stack is in external data memory (see Figure 124 on page
134).
The instruction used to change the stack selection bit should not be immediately followed
by the instructions RET or IRET, because this causes indeterminate program flow. After a
RESET
, the internal stack is selected.
If Port 0 is configured as A15–A8 and the stack is selected as internal, any stack operation
causes the contents in register
FEh to be displayed on Port 0.
