8-Bit Microprocessor with OTP ROM
The external interrupt has an
RF and RE are the interrupt status register that records the interrupt requests in the relative flags/bits. IOCF0 and IOCE0 are interrupt mask registers. The global interrupt is enabled by the ENI instruction and is disabled by the DISI instruction. Once in the interrupt service routine, the source of an interrupt can be determined by polling the flag bits in RF. The interrupt flag bit must be cleared by instructions before leaving the interrupt service routine to avoid recursive interrupts.
The flag (except for the ICIF bit) in the Interrupt Status Register (RF) is set regardless of the ENI execution. Note that the result of RF will be the logic AND of RF and IOCF0 (refer to figure below). The RETI instruction ends the interrupt routine and enables the global interrupt (the ENI execution).
When an interrupt is generated by the Timer clock/counter (if enabled), the next instruction will be fetched from Address 009, 018, 01B, and 01EH (TCC, TCCA, TCCB, and TCCC respectively).
When an interrupt generated by the AD conversion is completed (if enabled), the next instruction will be fetched from Address 00CH.
When an interrupt is generated by the High time / Low time down counter underflow (if enabled), the next instruction will be fetched from Address 012 and 015H (High time and Low time respectively).
When an interrupt is generated by the Comparators (if enabled), the next instruction will be fetched from Address 00FH (Comparator interrupt).
Before the interrupt subroutine is executed, the contents of ACC and the R3 and R4 registers will be saved by the hardware. If another interrupt occurs, the ACC, R3, and R4 will be replaced by the new interrupt. After the interrupt service routine is completed, the ACC, R3, and R4 registers are restored.
