Table 2-5 Decode Phase Status Register (DSTS)
Bit Bitfield Reset Value Description
0 A.Z 0h Ax Register Operation Flags: These flags are set on fixed-point operations involving the Ax registers. Tested conditions:

A.EQ : Equal To Zero

A.NEQ : Not Equal To Zero

A.GT : Greater Than Zero

A.GEQ : Greater Than Or Equal To Zero

A.LT : Lesser than Zero

A.LEQ : Lesser than (or) Equal to Zero

A.HI : Higher

A.HIS : Higher (or) Same

A.LO : Lower

A.LOS : Lower Or Same

A.EQANDNZ: Equal AND Not Zero(useful for character string searches)

A.NEQORZ : Not Equal OR Zero (useful for character string searches)
1 A.N 0h
2 A.C 0h
3 A.ZV 0h
4-5 RESERVED 0h RESERVED
6 DBGM 0h Debug Mask Bit , Enables or disables debug requests.
7-10 CLINK(1) 0h Used for indicating the origin of a protected CALL operation.
11 RESERVED 0h RESERVED
12 TA0 0h Ax Register Test Flags: These test flags can store multiple conditions by testing the Ax operation Flags. These test flags can then be used to combine multiple combinations of tested conditions. This enables the reduction of multiple conditional branch operations. Tested conditions:

TAx.Z TAx Equal To Zero

TAx.NZ TAx Not Equal To Zero

TA.MAP(#x16ta) Test TAx FLAGS Using 4:1 LUT Combination
13 TA1 0h
14 TA2 0h
15 TA3 0h
16 INTE 0h Interrupt (INT) Enable Bit
17-18 INTS(2) 0h Interrupt Status: These bits indicate the current active interrupt

ISTS = 0 : Main code active

ISTS = 1 : INT active

ISTS = 2 : RTINT active

ISTS = 3 : NMI active
19-26 ISR PRIORITY(2) FFh The ISR PRIORITY level is between 0 (highest priority) to 255 (lowest priority).
27-30 RLINK (1) 0h Used for indicating the origin of a protected RET operation.
31 RESERVED 0h RESERVED
(1) CLINK and RLINK are only updated by the hardware. Load, Move and Mask operations does not change the state of these fields.
(2) INTS and ISR PRIORITY are only updated by the hardware and RETI.INT instruction. Any other Load, Move and Mask operations does not change the state of these fields.
