CHAPTER 15 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS
15.1 Interrupt Function Types
The following three types of interrupt functions are used.
(1) Non-maskable interrupt
This interrupt is acknowledged unconditionally even in an interrupt disabled state. It does not undergo priority
control and is given top priority over all other interrupt requests.
A standby release signal is generated.
One interrupt request from the watchdog timer is incorporated as a non-maskable interrupt.
(2) 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 high priority interrupts can be applied to low priority interrupts. If two or more interrupts with the same
priority are simultaneously generated, each interrupt has a predetermined priority (see
Table 15-1
).
A standby release signal is generated.
Five external interrupt requests and 13 internal interrupt requests are incorporated as maskable interrupts.
(3) Software interrupt
This is a vectored interrupt to be generated by executing the BRK instruction. It is acknowledged even in an
interrupt disabled state. The software interrupt does not undergo interrupt priority control.
15.2 Interrupt Sources and Configuration
A total of 20 interrupt sources exist among non-maskable, maskable, and software interrupts (see
Table 15-1
).
Remark
Two watchdog timer interrupt sources (INTWDT): a non-maskable interrupt and a maskable interrupt
(internal), are available, either of which can be selected.
