maining chapters and appendixes. The remainder of this chapter describes notational conventions
and terminology used throughout the manual, provides references to related documentation, de-
scribes customer support services, and explains how to access information and assistance.
Chapter 2 — Architectural Overview — provides an overview of the device hardware. It de-
scribes the core, internal timing, internal peripherals, and special operating modes.
Chapter 3 — Programming ConsiderAtions — provides an overview of the instruction set, de-
scribes general standards and conventions, and defines the operand types and addressing modes
®
supported by the MCS 96 microcontroller family. (For additional information about the instruc-
tion set, see Appendix A.)
Chapter 4 — Memory Partitions — describes the addressable memory space of the device. It
describes the memory partitions, explains how to use windows to increase the amount of memory
that can be accessed with register-direct (8-bit) instructions, and provides examples of memory
configurations.
Chapter 5 — Standard and PTS Interrupts — describes the interrupt control circuitry, priority
scheme, and timing for standard and peripheral transaction server (PTS) interrupts. It also ex-
plains interrupt programming and control.
Chapter 6 — I/O Ports — describes the input/output ports and explains how to configure the
ports for input, output, or special functions.
Chapter 7 — Serial I/O (SIO) Port — describes the asynchronous/synchronous serial I/O (SIO)
port and explains how to program it.
Chapter 8 — Synchronous Serial I/O (SSIO) Port — describes the synchronous serial I/O
(SSIO) port and explains how to program it.
