CHAPTER 8 INTERRUPT CONTROLLER
8.3 Interrupt Control Register (ICR)

One interrupt control register is provided for each type of interrupt input and is used to

set the interrupt level of the corresponding interrupt request.

Configuration of Interrupt Control Register (ICR)
The configuration of the interrupt control register (ICR) is show n below:
Bit Functions of Interrupt Control Register (ICR)
[bit 4 to 0] ICR 4 to 0
These are the interrupt level setting bits that are used to specify the interrupt level of the
corresponding interrupt request.
When the interrupt level specified by this regi st er eq ual s or ex c eed s the le vel mask value set
in the CPU ILM register, the CPU masks the interrupt request.
When the register is reset, the bits are initialized to 11111B.
Table 8.3-1 summarizes the correspondence between the inter rupt level setting bits and the
interrupt levels.
