In single data transfer instructions, all bits in 32-bit address are valid.

3.4.3

Modulo Addressing

In double data transfer instructions, a module addressing can be used. If the address pointer value

reaches the preset modulo end address while a modulo addressing mode is specified,, the address

pointer value becomes the modulo start address.

To control modulo addressing, the modulo register (MOD) extended in the DSP mode and the

DMX and DMY bits of the SR register are used.

The MOD register is provided to set the start and end addresses of the modulo address area. The

upper and lower words of the MOD register store modulo start address (MS) and modulo end

address (ME), respectively. The LDC and STC instructions are extended for MOD register

handling.

If the DMX bit in the SR register is set, the modulo addressing is specified for the X address

address register. Modulo addressing is valid for either the X or the Y address register, only; it

cannot be set for both at the same time. Therefore, DMX and DMY cannot both be set

simultaneously (if they are, the DMY setting will be valid). ( In the future, this specification may

be changed.) The MDX and MDY bits of the SR can be specified by the STC or LDC instruction

for the SR register.

If an exception is accepted during modulo addressing, the MDX and MDY bits of the SR and

MOD register must be saved. By restoring these register values, a control is returned to the

modulo addressing after an exception handling.
