Register Descriptions
13.4.21 Interrupt Mask Clear Register
IMC (000D8h; W)
Software uses this register to disable an interrupt. Interrupts are presented to the bus interface only
when the mask bit is set to 1b and the cause bit set to 1b. The status of the mask bit is reflected in
the Interrupt Mask Set/Read Register (see Section 13.4.20), and the status of the cause bit is
reflected in the Interrupt Cause Read Register (see Section 13.4.17).
Software blocks interrupts by clearing the corresponding mask bit. This is accomplished by writing
a 1b to the corresponding bit in this register. Bits written with 0b are unchanged (their mask status
does not change).
