INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS

7.1

Interrupt Sources

µPD17236 is provided with three interrupt sources.

When an interrupt has been accepted, the program execution automatically branches to a predetermined address,

which is called a vector address. A vector address is assigned to each interrupt source, as shown in Table 7-1.

When more than one interrupt request is issued at the same time, the interrupts are accepted in sequence, starting

from the one with the highest priority.

Whether an interrupt is enabled or disabled is specified by the EI or DI instruction. The basic condition under which

an interrupt is accepted is that the interrupt is enabled by the EI instruction. While the DI instruction is executed, or

while an interrupt is accepted, the interrupt is disabled.

To enable accepting an interrupt after the interrupt has been processed, the EI instruction must be executed before

the RETI instruction. Accepting the interrupt is enabled by the EI instruction after the instruction next to the EI

instruction has been executed. Therefore, no interrupt can be accepted between the EI and RETI instructions.

Caution In interrupt processing, only the BCD, CMP, CY, Z, IXE flags are automatically saved to the stack

by the hardware, to a maximum of three levels. Also, within the interrupt processing contents,

when peripheral hardware (timer, A/D converter, etc. ) is accessed, the DBF and WR contents

are not saved by the hardware. Accordingly, it is recommended that at the beginning of interrupt

processing DBF and WR be saved by software to RAM, and immediately before finishing interrupt

processing the saved contents be returned to thier original location.
