2.5.2  Memory Data Formats 
Figure 2.10 shows the data formats in memory. The H8S/2600 CPU can access word data and 
longword data in memory, but word or longword data must begin at an even address. If an attempt 
is made to access word or longword data at an odd address, no address error occurs but the least 
significant bit of the address is regarded as 0, so the access starts at the preceding address. This 
also applies to instruction fetches. 
When SP (ER7) is used as an address register to access the stack, the operand size should be word 
size or longword size.
