5.4.2 Interrupt
Priority
The interrupt priority is predetermined. When multiple interrupts occur simultaneously
(overlapped interruptions), the interrupt controller (INTC) determines their relative priorities and
starts the exception handling according to the results.
The priority of interrupts is expressed as priority levels 0 to 16, with priority 0 the lowest and
priority 16 the highest. The NMI interrupt has priority 16 and cannot be masked, so it is always
accepted. The priority level of the user break interrupt is 15. IRQ interrupt and on-chip peripheral
module interrupt priority levels can be set freely using the interrupt priority registers A to F and H
to M (IPRA
to IPRF and IPRH to IPRM) of the INTC as shown in table 5.8. The priority levels
that can be set are 0 to 15. Level 16 cannot be set. For details on IPRA to IPRF, see section 6.3.4,
Interrupt Priority Registers A to F and H to M (IPR
A
to IPRF and IPRH to IPRM).

5.4.3
Interrupt Exception Handling
When an interrupt occurs, the interrupt controller (INTC) ascertains its priority level. NMI is
always accepted, but other interrupts are only accepted if they have a priority level higher than the
priority level set in the interrupt mask bits (I3 to I0) of the status register (SR).
When an interrupt is accepted, exception handling begins. In interrupt exception handling, the
CPU saves SR and the program counter (PC) to the stack. The priority level of the accepted
interrupt is written to bits I3 to I0 in SR. Although the priority level of the NMI is 16, the value set
in bits I3 to I0 is H'F (level 15). Next, the start address of the exception handling routine is fetched
from the exception handling vector table for the accepted interrupt, and program execution
branches to that address and the program starts. For details on the interrupt exception handling, see
section 6.6, Interrupt Operation.
