UPI-C42 FEATURES
Programmable Memory Size Increase
The user programmable memory on the UPI-C42 will
be increased from the 2K available in the NMOS
product by 2X to 4K The larger user programmable
memory array will allow the user to develop more
complex peripheral control micro-code P23 (port 2
bit 3) has been designated as the extra address pin
required to support the programming of the extra 2K
of user programmable memory
The new instruction SEL PMB1 (73h) allows for ac-
cess to the upper 2K bank (locations 2048–4095)
The additional memory is completely transparent to
users not wishing to take advantage of the extra
memory space No new commands are required to
access the lower 2K bytes The SEL PMB0 (63h)
has also been added to the UPI-C42 instruction set
to allow for switching between memory banks
Extended Memory Program
Addressing (Beyond 2K)
For programs of 2K words or less the UPI-C42 ad-
dresses program memory in the conventional man-
ner Addresses beyond 2047 can be reached by ex-
ecuting a program memory bank switch instruction
(SEL PMB0 SEL PMB1) followed by a branch in-
struction (JMP or CALL) The bank switch feature
extends the range of branch instructions beyond
their normal 2K range and at the same time prevents
the userfrom inadvertentlycrossing the 2Kboundary
PROGRAM MEMORY BANK SWITCH
The switching of 2K program memory banks is ac-
complished by directly setting or resetting the most
significant bit of the program counter (bit 11) see
Figure 5 Bit 11 is not altered by normal increment-
ing of the program counter but is loaded with the
contents of a special flip-flop each time a JMP or
CALL instruction is executed This special flip-flop is
set by executing an SEL PMB1 instruction and reset
by SEL PMB0 Therefore the SEL PMB instruction
may be executed at any time prior to the actual bank
switch which occurs during the next branch instruc-
tion encountered Since all twelve bits of the pro-
gram counter including bit 11 are stored in the
stack when a Call is executed the user may jump to
subroutines across the 2K boundary and the proper
PC will be restored upon return However the bank
switch flip-flop will not be altered on return

Figure 5 Program Counter
INTERRUPT ROUTINES
Interrupts always vector the program counter to lo-
cation 3 or 7 in the first 2K bank and bit 11 of the
program counter is held at ‘‘0’’ during the interrupt
service routine The end of the service routine is sig-
naled by the execution of an RETR instruction Inter-
rupt service routines should therefore be contained
entirely in the lower 2K words of program memory
The execution of a SEL PMB0 or SEL PMB1 instruc-
tion within an interrupt routine is not recommended
since it will not alter PC11 while in the routine but
will change the internal flip-flop
Hardware A20 Gate Support
This feature has been provided to enhance the per-
formance of the UPI-C42 when being used in a key-
board controller application The UPI-C42 design
has included on chip logic to support a hardware
GATEA20 feature which eliminates the need to pro-
vide firmware to process A20 command sequences
