CHAPTER 2 CPU
2.8.4 Interrupt Stack
The interrupt stack is the area indicated by the system stack pointer (SSP). The PC or
PS value is saved to it or restored from it. After an interrupt is caused, the PC value is
stored at the address indicated by the SSP and the PS value is stored at the address
"SSP + 4."
