Motorola CPU32 Reference Manual page 13

This reference manual describes programming and operation of the CPU32 in-
struction processing module, found in the M68300 Family of embedded controllers.
It is part of a multivolume set of manuals — each volume corresponds to a major
module in the M68300 Family.
A user's manual for each device incorporating the CPU32 describes processor
function and operation with reference to other modules within the device.
This manual consists of the following sections and appendix:
Section 1 Overview
Section 2 Architecture Summary
Section 3 Data Organization and Addressing Capabilities
Section 4 Instruction Set
Section 5 Processing States
Section 6 Exception Processing
Section 7 Development Support
Section 8 Instruction Execution Timing
Appendix A M68000 Family Summary
Index
In this manual, the terms assertion and negation specifya particular
logic state. Assert and assertion refer to an active or true signal.
Negate and negation refer to an inactive or false signal. These
terms are used independently of the voltage level that they represent.
This manual is written for systems designers, systems programmers, and applica-
tions programmers. Systems designers need general knowledge of the entire vol-
ume, with particular emphasis on Section 1, Section 7, and Appendix A — they will
also need to be familiar with electrical specifications and mechanical data con-
tained in the user's manual. Systems programmers should become familiar with
Sections 1 through 6, Section 8, and Appendix A. Applications programmers can
find most of the information they need in Sections 1 through 5, Section 8, and Ap-
pendix A.
This manual is also written for users of the M68000 Family that are not familiar with
the CPU32. Although there are comparative references to other Motorola micro-
processors throughout the manual, Section 1, Section 2, and Appendix A specifi-
cally identify the CPU32 within the M68000 Family, and discuss the differences
betweeen it and related devices.
