Notes:
1. The instructions used to access these nonstandard registers may cause assembling errors with respect to the 2500 A. D.
assembler, but these errors can be ignored by adding directive ".RAMCHK OFF" ahead these instructions.
2. In the newly added SFR of W78C438B, only XICON register is bit-addressable.
Power Reduction Function
The W78C438B supports power reduction just as the W78C32 does. The following table shows the
status of the external pins during the idle and power-down modes.

Programming Difference
The W78C438B is programmed in the same way as the W78C32, except that the external data RAM
is accessed by a "MOVX @Ri" instruction. To support address paging, there is an additional 8-bit SFR
"HB" (high byte), which is a nonstandard register, at address 0A1H. During execution of the "MOVX
@Ri" instruction, the contents of HB are output to AP6. The page address is modified by loading the
HB register with a new value before execution of the "MOVX @Ri" instruction. To read/write the HB
register, one can use the "MOV direct" instruction or "read-modify-write" instructions. The HB register
does not support bit-addressable instructions.
