Figure 5-2 Interrupt Arbitration
The first arbitration stage compares the priority levels of interrupt request lines. The
priority level of each requestor consists of interrupt priority level and group priority level.
An interrupt priority level is programmed for each interrupt request line by the 4-bit bit
field ILVL of the respective xxIC register. The group priority level is programmed for each
interrupt request line by the 2-bit bit field GLVL—and, in the case of more than 64
interrupt nodes, by the extension bit GPX of the register xxIC. GPX and GLVL combined
form the 3-bit (extended) group priority level XGLVL, controlling up to eight interrupt sub-
priorities within one of the sixteen interrupt levels.
Note: All interrupt request sources that are enabled and programmed to the same
interrupt priority level (ILVL) must have different group priority levels. Otherwise,
an incorrect interrupt vector may be generated.
The second arbitration stage compares the priority of the first stage winner with the
priority of OCDS service requests. C166S V2 OCDS service requests bypass the first
stage of arbitration and go directly to the CPU Action Control Unit. The CPU Action
Control Unit disregards the group priority level of interrupt/PEC requests and deals only
with interrupt priority levels (ILVL). For comparison with an OCDS service request priority
programmed with a 5-bit value, the 4-bit ILVL of the interrupt/PEC request is extended
to a 5-bit value with MSB=0. This means that any OCDS request with MSB=1 will always
