The SP is decremented ahead of write (save) to the stack memory and is incremented after read (restore) from
the stack memory.
Each stack operation saves/restores data as shown in Figures 3-8 and 3-9.
Caution Since RESET input makes the SP contents undefined, be sure to initialize the SP before
instruction execution.
