CHAPTER 16 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS
16.1 Interrupt Function Types
The following two types of interrupt functions are used.
(1) Maskable interrupts
These interrupts undergo mask control. Maskable interrupts can be divided into a high interrupt priority group
and a low interrupt priority group by setting the priority specification flag registers (PR0L, PR0H, PR1L).
Multiple interrupt servicing can be applied to low-priority interrupts when high-priority interrupts are generated. If
two or more interrupts with the same priority are generated simultaneously, each interrupt is serviced according to
its predetermined priority (see
Table 16-1
).
A standby release signal is generated.
Eight external interrupt requests and 15 internal interrupt requests are provided as maskable interrupts.
(2) Software interrupt
This is a vectored interrupt generated by executing the BRK instruction. It is acknowledged even when interrupts
are disabled. The software interrupt does not undergo interrupt priority control.
16.2 Interrupt Sources and Configuration
A total of 24 interrupt sources exist for maskable and software interrupts (see
Table 16-1
).
