The CPU incorporates features specifically designed for modern programming techniques such as calculated branching, table processing and the use of high-level languages such as C. The CPU can address the complete address range without paging.
The CPU features include:
- RISC architecture with 27 instructions and 7 addressing modes.
- Orthogonal architecture with every instruction usable with every addressing mode.
- Full register access including program counter, status registers, and stack pointer.
- Single-cycle register operations.
- Large 16-bit register file reduces fetches to memory.
- 16-bit address bus allows direct access and branching throughout entire memory range.
- 16-bit data bus allows direct manipulation of word-wide arguments.
- Constant generator provides six most used immediate values and reduces code size.
- Direct memory-to-memory transfers without intermediate register holding.
- Word and byte addressing and instruction formats.
