Section 3 Exception Handling

3.1

Overview

Exception handling is performed in the H8/38024 Group, H8/38024S Group, H8/38024F-ZTAT

Group, and H8/38124 Group when a reset or interrupt occurs. Table 3.1 shows the priorities of

these two types of exception handling.

Table 3.1

Exception Handling Types and Priorities

Priority

Exception Source

Time of Start of Exception Handling

High

Reset

Exception handling starts as soon as the reset state is cleared

Low

Interrupt

When an interrupt is requested, exception handling starts after

execution of the present instruction or the exception handling in

progress is completed

3.2

Reset

3.2.1

Overview

A reset is the highest-priority exception. The internal state of the CPU and the registers of the on-

chip peripheral modules are initialized.

3.2.2

Reset Sequence

As soon as the

RES pin goes low, all processing is stopped and the chip enters the reset state.

To make sure the chip is reset properly, observe the following precautions.

• At power on: Hold the RES pin low until the clock pulse generator output stabilizes.

• Resetting during operation: Hold the RES pin low for at least 10 system clock cycles.

Reset exception handling takes place as follows.

• The CPU internal state and the registers of on-chip peripheral modules are initialized, with the

I bit of the condition code register (CCR) set to 1.

• The PC is loaded from the reset exception handling vector address (H'0000 to H'0001), after

which the program starts executing from the address indicated in PC.
