STACK OVERFLOW DETECTOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To detect a stack overflow by providing a function to identify the writing to a data area from the writing in a stack area. CONSTITUTION:An upper limit comparator 22 compares the value A delivered to an address bus 12 with the value Au of an upper limit register 20 while a signal is delivered to a stack operation detecting signal line 25. Then an overflow signal 1 is delivered when A>Au is satisfied. While a lower limit comparator 23 compares the value A delivered to the bus 12 with the value Al of a lower limit register 21 and delivers an underflow signal 1 with AAu or A
