M16C/6N Group (M16C/6NK, M16C/6NM) 9. Interrupt
Under development
This document is under development and its contents are subject to change.
9.5.1 I Flag
The I flag enables or disables the maskable interrupt. Setting the I flag to “1” (enabled) enables the
maskable interrupt. Setting the I flag to “0” (disabled) disables all maskable interrupts.
9.5.2 IR Bit
The IR bit is set to “1” (interrupt requested) when an interrupt request is generated. Then, when the
interrupt request is accepted and the CPU branches to the corresponding interrupt vector, the IR bit is set
to “0” (interrupt not requested).
The IR bit can be set to “0” in a program. Note that do not write “1” to this bit.
9.5.3 ILVL2 to ILVL0 Bits and IPL
Interrupt priority levels can be set using the ILVL2 to ILVL0 bits.
Table 9.3 shows the settings of interrupt priority levels and Table 9.4 shows the interrupt priority levels
enabled by the IPL.
The following are conditions under which an interrupt is accepted:
· I flag = 1
· IR bit = 1
· interrupt priority level > IPL
The I flag, IR bit, ILVL2 to ILVL0 bits and IPL are independent of each other. In no case do they affect one
another.
