2.1.3 Jump instructions
A jump can be made using the instructions in Table 2.1.3.1.
The differences between jumps within the same page and jumps from one page to another is as follows.
• Jumps within the same page
A jump can be made within the same page using any of the following instructions:
JP, JP C, JP Z, JP NZ, JPBA or CALL
The destination address is specified by the 8-bit operand. A label can be used to specify a destination
address with the S1C62 Family cross assembler.
• Jumps from one page to another
The destination bank and page should be set using PSET before executing a JP instruction.
2.1.4 PSET with jump instructions
PSET loads the four low-order bits (page part) of its 5-bit operand to NPP (new page pointer) and loads the
high-order bit (bank part) to NBP (new bank pointer). Executing a JP instruction immediately after PSET
causes a jump to the bank specified by NBP, the page specified by NPP and the step specified by the JP
instruction operand. See Figure 2.1.4.1.

2.1.5 Call instructions
As only the page data specified by NPP is loaded to PCP when a call instruction is executed, subroutine
calls between banks are not possible. Jumps between banks can only be made using JP instructions.
