Central Processor Unit (CPU)
7.3.4 Program Counter
The program counter is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next
instruction or operand to be fetched.
Normally, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential
memory location every time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch,
and interrupt operations load the program counter with an address other than that
of the next sequential location.
During reset, the program counter is loaded with the reset vector address located
at $FFFE and $FFFF. The vector address is the address of the first instruction to
be executed after exiting the reset state.

7.3.5 Condition Code Register
The 8-bit condition code register contains the interrupt mask and five flags that
indicate the results of the instruction just executed. Bits 6 and 5 are set
permanently to 1. The following paragraphs describe the functions of the condition
code register.

V — Overflow Flag
The CPU sets the overflow flag when a two's complement overflow occurs. The
signed branch instructions BGT, BGE, BLE, and BLT use the overflow flag.
1 = Overflow
0 = No overflow
