7.5 Nesting Control of Interrupts
The
µ
PD754244 can nest interrupts by the following two methods.
(1) Nesting with interrupt having high priority specified
This method is the standard nesting method of the
µ
PD754244. One interrupt source is selected and nested.
An interrupt with a higher priority specified by the interrupt priority select register (IPS) can occur when the
status of the processing under execution is 0 or 1, and the other interrupts (interrupts with a lower priority)
can occur when the status is 0 (refer to Figure 7-8 and Table 7-3).
Therefore, if you use this method when you wish to nest only one interrupt, operations such as enabling and
disabling interrupts, that is, changing the interrupt status flag, while the interrupt is serviced do not need to
be performed, and the nesting level can be kept to 2.
