3.5.5 Interrupt Response Times
The H8S/2678 Series is capable of fast word access to on-chip memory, and the program area is
provided in on-chip ROM and the stack area in on-chip RAM, enabling high-speed processing.
Table 3.10 shows interrupt response times—the interval between generation of an interrupt request
and execution of the first instruction in the interrupt service routine. The symbols used in table
3.10 are explained in table 3.11.

Notes: 1. Two states in case of internal interrupt.
2. Refers to MULXS and DIVXS instructions.
3. Prefetch after interrupt acceptance and interrupt service routine prefetch.
4. Internal processing after interrupt acceptance and internal processing after vector fetch.
