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 ER7 is used as an address register to access the stack, the operand size should be word size
or longword size.
