Figure 2-23 MSM80C154S/MSM83C154S program ounter
This program counter is a binary up-counter which is incremented by 1 each time one byte
of instruction code is fetched. When the program counter is counted by 1 after counter
contents have reached 0FFFFH, the counter is returned to 0000H. MSM83C154S is
automatically switched to external ROM mode when the counter contents exceed 3FFFH.
