Maximum Mode; Figure 2.5 Stack Structure (Middle And Advanced Modes) - Renesas H8SX/1520 Series Hardware Manual

• Stack Structure
The stack structure of PC at a subroutine branch and that of PC and CCR at an exception
handling are shown in figure 2.5. The PC contents are saved or restored in 24-bit units.
2.2.4

Maximum Mode

The program area is extended to 4 Gbytes as compared with that in advanced mode.
• Address Space
The maximum address space of 4 Gbytes can be linearly accessed.
• Extended Registers (En)
The extended registers (E0 to E7) can be used as 16-bit registers or as the upper 16-bit
segments of 32-bit registers or address registers.
• Instruction Set
All instructions and addressing modes can be used.
• Exception Vector Table and Memory Indirect Branch Addresses
In maximum mode, the top area starting at H'00000000 is allocated to the exception vector
table. One branch address is stored per 32 bits. The structure of the exception vector table is
shown in figure 2.6.
