The Stack is a buffer which remembers the state of subroutines that are currently executing.

On the 65c816, the stack is always in bank zero.[3] It can be thousands of bytes deep.[1]

In emulation mode it wraps within page one.[2]

The stack grows towards zero, but the most recently pushed byte is nontheless called the top of the stack. These instructions push things to the stack:

PL* instructions take one cycle more than their PH* counterparts. These instructions pull things from the stack:

Note the lack of PLK. PHS and PLS similarly do not exist, nor do any instructions performing the inverse of PEA, PEI, or PER.
