Data Sheet 71M6531D/F-71M6532D/F
Stack Pointer (SP):
FDS 6531/6532 005
The stack pointer is a 1-byte register initialized to 0x07 after reset. This register is incremented before
PUSH and CALL instructions, causing the stack to begin at location 0x08.
Data Pointer:
The data pointer (DPTR) is 2 bytes wide. The lower part is
DPL
and the highest is
DPH.
It can be loaded
as two registers (e.g. MOV DPL,#data8). It is generally used to access external code or data space (e.g.
MOVC A,@A+DPTR or MOVX A,@DPTR respectively).
Program Counter:
The program counter (PC) is 2 bytes wide and initialized to 0x0000 after reset. This register is incre-
mented when fetching operation code or when operating on data from program memory.
Port Registers:
The I/O ports are controlled by Special Function Registers
P0, P1
and
P2.
The contents of the SFR can
be observed on corresponding pins on the chip. Writing a 1 to any of the ports (see
causes the
corresponding pin to be at high level (V3P3). Writing a 0 causes the corresponding pin to be held at a
low level (GND). The data direction registers
DIR0, DIR1
and
DIR2
define individual pins as input or out-
put pins (see Sections
or 1.5.8 Digital I/O – 71M6532D/F).

Description
dress
0x80
R/W Register for port 0 read and write operations.
0xA2
R/W Data direction register for port 0. Setting a bit to 1 means that the corres-
ponding pin is an output.
0x90
R/W Register for port 1 read and write operations.
0x91
R/W Data direction register for port 1.
0xA0
R/W Register for port 2 read and write operations.
0xA1
R/W Data direction register for port 2.
All DIO ports on the chip are bi-directional. Each of them consists of a Latch (SFR
P0
to
P2),
an output
driver and an input buffer, therefore the MPU can output or read data through any of these ports. Even if
a DIO pin is configured as an output, the state of the pin can still be read by the MPU, for example when
counting pulses issued via DIO pins that are under CE control.
The technique of reading the status of or generating interrupts based on DIO pins configured as
outputs can be used to implement pulse counting.
Clock Stretching (CKCON)
The three low order bits of the
CKCON
register define the stretch memory cycles that could be used for
MOVX instructions when accessing slow external peripherals. The practical value of this register is to
guarantee access to XRAM between CE, MPU, and SPI. The default setting of
CKCON
(001) should not
be changed.
shows how the signals of the External Memory Interface change when stretch values are set
from 0 to 7. The widths of the signals are counted in MPU clock cycles. The post-reset state of the
CKCON
register (001), which is shown in
bold
in the table, performs the MOVX instructions with a stretch
value equal to 1.
