3.5
There are four MMU exceptions: TLB miss, TLB protection violation, TLB invalid, and initial
page write.
3.5.1
A TLB miss results when the virtual address and the address array of the selected TLB entry are
compared and no match is found. TLB miss exception processing includes both hardware and
software operations.
Hardware Operations: In a TLB miss, this LSI's hardware executes a set of prescribed
operations, as follows:
1. The VPN field of the virtual address causing the exception is written to the PTEH register.
2. The virtual address causing the exception is written to the TEA register.
3. Either exception code H'040 for a load access, or H'060 for a store access, is written to the
4. The PC value indicating the address of the instruction in which the exception occurred is
5. The contents of the status register (SR) at the time of the exception are written to the save
6. The mode (MD) bit in SR is set to 1, and switched to the privileged mode.
7. The block (BL) bit in SR is set to 1 to mask any further exception requests.
8. The register bank (RB) bit in SR is set to 1.
9. The RC field in the MMUCR is incremented by 1 when all entries indexed are valid. When

some entries indexed are invalid, the smallest way number of them is set in RC.
