The Stack
•
Given that the stack grows backwards intomemory, it is customary to place the bottom ofthe stack at the end of memory to keep it as faraway from user programs as possible.
•
In the 8085, the stack is defined by setting theSP (Stack Pointer) register.
•
LXI SP, FFFFH
•
This sets the Stack Pointer to location FFFFH(end of memory for the 8085).
•
The Size of the stack is limited only by theavailable memory
