Z-value Description
PCMSB 11 Most significant bit in the Program Counter.
(The Program Counter is 12 bits PC[11:0])
PAGEMSB 4 Most significant bit which is used to address
the words within one page (32 words in a page
requires five bits PC [4:0]).
ZPCMSB Z12 Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PCMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPCMSB equals
PCMSB + 1.
ZPAGEMSB Z5 Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PAGEMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPAGEMSB
equals PAGEMSB + 1.
