3.4.2 Memory Data Formats
Figure 3-4 indicates the data formats in memory.
Word data stored in memory must always begin at an even address. In word access the least
significant bit of the address is regarded as “0.” If an odd address is specified, no address error
occurs but the access is performed at the preceding even address. This rule affects MOV.W
instructions and branching instructions, and implies that only even addresses should be stored in the
vector table.
The stack must always be accessed a word at a time. When the CCR is pushed on the stack, two
identical copies of the CCR are pushed to make a complete word. When they are returned, the
lower byte is ignored.
