14.3.8 Global Level m IACK Registers (GLmIACK)

In addition to the software IACK registers (Section 14.3.7, “Software and Level m IACK Registers
(SWIACKn, LmIACKn)”), there are global IACK registers, GLmIACK. (There is no global SWIACK
register .) On devices with multiple interrupt controllers, a read from one of the GLmIACK registers returns
the vector for the highest priority unmasked interrupt within a level for all interrupt controllers. Because
the MCF52211 has only one interrupt controller, the global registers effectively provide the same
information as the LmIACK registers.

14.4 Low-Power Wakeup Operation

The system control module (SCM) contains an 8-bit low-power interrupt control register (LPICR) used
explicitly for controlling the low-power stop mode. This register must explicitly be programmed by
software to enter low-power mode.
The interrupt controller provides a special combinatorial logic path to provide a special wake-up signal to
exit from the low-power stop mode. This special mode of operation works as follows:
1. LPICR[6:4] is loaded with the specified mask level while the core is in stop mode. LPICR[7] must
be set to enable this mode of operation.
NOTE
The wakeup mask level taken from LPICR[6:4] is adjusted by hardware to
allow a level 7 IRQ to generate a wakeup. That is, the wakeup mask value
used by the interrupt controller must be in the range of 0–6.

VECTOR
Vector number. A read from the SWIACK register returns the vector number associated with the highest level,
highest priority unmasked interrupt source. A read from one of the LmIACK registers returns the highest priority
unmasked interrupt source within the level.

VECTOR
Vector number. A read from one of the LnIACK registers returns the vector for the highest priority unmasked interrupt
within a level for all interrupt controllers.
As implemented on the MCF52211, these registers contain the same information as LnIACK.
