10.4.3.6 Application Program Status Register
The APSR contains the current state of the condition flags from previous instruction executions. See the register
summary in Table 10-2 on page 51 for its attributes. The bit assignments are:
•N
Negative or less than flag:
0 = operation result was positive, zero, greater than, or equal
1 = operation result was negative or less than.
•Z
Zero flag:
0 = operation result was not zero
1 = operation result was zero.
•C
Carry or borrow flag:
0 = add operation did not result in a carry bit or subtract operation resulted in a borrow bit
1 = add operation resulted in a carry bit or subtract operation did not result in a borrow bit.
•V
Overflow flag:
0 = operation did not result in an overflow
1 = operation resulted in an overflow.
•Q
Sticky saturation flag:
0 = indicates that saturation has not occurred since reset or since the bit was last cleared to zero
1 = indicates when an
SSAT or USAT instruction results in saturation.
This bit is cleared to zero by software using an
MRS instruction.
10.4.3.7 Interrupt Program Status Register
The IPSR contains the exception type number of the current Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). See the register
summary in Table 10-2 on page 51 for its attributes. The bit assignments are:
• ISR_NUMBER
This is the number of the current exception:
0 = Thread mode
1 = Reserved
2 = NMI
3 = Hard fault
4 = Memory management fault
5 = Bus fault
6 = Usage fault
