Single-byte basic instruction length
The MN102H series has replaced general registers with eight internal CPU
registers divided functionally into four address registers (A0 - A3) and four
data registers (D0 - D3). The program can address a register pair in four or
less bits, and basic instructions such as register-to-register operations and
load/store operations occupy only one byte.
High-speed pipeline throughput
The MN102H series executes instructions in a high-speed three-stage
pipeline: fetch, decode, execute. With this architecture, the MN102H series
can execute single-byte instructions in only one machine cycle (50 ns at 40
MHz).
Simple instruction set
The MN102H series uses a streamlined set of 41 instructions, designed spe-
cifically for the programming model for embedded applications. To shrink
code size, instructions have a variable length of one to seven bytes, and the
most frequently used basic instructions are single-byte.
