Bank Function

CPU of MN101C00 series has basically 64 KB memory address space. On this LSI, address space can be

expanded up to 4 banks (256 KB) based on units of 64 KB, by bank function.

Bank function can be used by setting the proper bank area to the bank register for source address

(SBNKR) or the bank register for destination address (DBNKR). At reset, both of the SBNKR register

and the DBNKR register indicate bank 0. Bank function is valid after setting any value except "00" to the

SBNKR register or the DBNKR register.

When the both registers of SBNKR and DBNKR are operated at interrupt processing, pushing onto the

stack or popping are necessary.

When bank area is changed at interrupt processing, pushing onto the stack or popping must

be done by program, if it necessary.

The stack area should be set in the area of bank 0, always. Furnished C compiler does not

support bank function.

During bank function is valid, I/O short instruction should  be used for access to the special

function register area (x'03F00' to x'03FFF'). For access to the memory space x'13F00' to

x'13FFF', x'23F00' to x'23FFF' and x'33F00' to x'33FFF', both instructions of register indirect

and register relative indirect should be used.    [
