* * The PC points to the address of the current instruction (Program Counter) The Link Register is akin to Register R7 in LC3 used to store the return address on subroutine calls. The stack is a temporary storage implemented in the RAM. We push and pop elements onto and off the stack as we desire. The stack pointer (SP) keeps track of the current location of the “top” of the stack. The CC (condition-code) bits contains codes that reflect the results of the most recent instruction. Many “branch” type instructions “test” these bits for their operation. The Program Status Register (PSR) has them
