2.4.4 Condition-Code Register (CCR)
This 8-bit register contains internal CPU status information, including an interrupt mask bit (I) and
half-carry (H), negative (N), zero (Z), overflow (V), and carry (C) flags.
Operations can be performed on the CCR bits by the LDC, STC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC
instructions. The N, Z, V, and C flags are used as branching conditions for conditional branch
(Bcc) instructions.
Bit Bit Name Initial Value R/W Description
7 I 1 R/W Interrupt Mask Bit
Masks interrupts other than NMI when set to 1. NMI is
accepted regardless of the I bit setting. The I bit is set to 1
by hardware at the start of an exception-handling
sequence. For details, refer to section 5, Interrupt
Controller.
6 UI undefined R/W User Bit or Interrupt Mask Bit
Can be written and read by software using the LDC, STC,
ANDC, ORC, and XORC instructions. This bit cannot be
used as an interrupt mask bit in this LSI.
5 H undefined R/W Half-Carry Flag
When the ADD.B, ADDX.B, SUB.B, SUBX.B, CMP.B or
NEG.B instruction is executed, this flag is set to 1 if there is
a carry or borrow at bit 3, and cleared to 0 otherwise. When
the ADD.W, SUB.W, CMP.W, or NEG.W instruction is
executed, the H flag is set to 1 if there is a carry or borrow
at bit 11, and cleared to 0 otherwise. When the ADD.L,
SUB.L, CMP.L, or NEG.L instruction is executed, the H flag
is set to 1 if there is a carry or borrow at bit 27, and cleared
to 0 otherwise.
4 U undefined R/W User Bit
Can be written and read by software using the LDC, STC,
ANDC, ORC, and XORC instructions.
3 N undefined R/W Negative Flag
Stores the value of the most significant bit of data as a sign
bit.
2 Z undefined R/W Zero Flag
Set to 1 to indicate zero data, and cleared to 0 to indicate
non-zero data.
