5.4 Interrupt Operation
5.4.1 Interrupt Handling Process
The H8/3048 Series handles interrupts differently depending on the setting of the UE bit. When
UE = 1, interrupts are controlled by the I bit. When UE = 0, interrupts are controlled by the I and
UI bits. Table 5-4 indicates how interrupts are handled for all setting combinations of the UE, I,
and UI bits.
NMI interrupts are always accepted except in the reset and hardware standby states. IRQ
interrupts and interrupts from the on-chip supporting modules have their own enable bits. Interrupt
requests are ignored when the enable bits are cleared to 0.

and interrupts from the on-chip supporting modules can all be
masked by the I bit in the CPU’s CCR. Interrupts are masked when the I bit is set to 1, and
unmasked when the I bit is cleared to 0. Interrupts with priority level 1 have higher priority. Figure
5-4 is a flowchart showing how interrupts are accepted when UE = 1.
