RESET: The IFR is left in the same state it was before RESET low, assuming no interruption in power.

²INT6 and INT7 may be associated instead with the Comparator function, if the Comparator Enable bit has been set. Refer to Section 3.3, Comparator, for details.

Individual interrupts are enabled or disabled for service by setting or clearing the respective bit in the interrupt mask register (IMR, 8 bits). If an interrupt level has its bit cleared in the IMR, then the interrupt service associated with that interrupt is disabled. Setting the bit in the IMR allows service to occur (pending the trigger-event which is registered in the IFR).

The IMR is accessible as part of another (larger) register, namely, the interrupt/general control register (peripheral port 0x38). After a RESET LOW, the default value of each bit in the IMR is zero: no interrupt service enabled. A full description of the bit locations in the interrupt/general control register can be found in Section 3.4, Interrupt/General Control Register.

The IMR functions independently of the IFR, in the sense that interrupt-trigger events can be registered in the IFR, even if the respective IMR bit is clear. Both the IFR and IMR are readable and writeable as port addressed registers. To read the register, use the IN instruction in conjunction with the port address (0x38 or 0x39). Use the OUT instruction to write. (Refer to Section 2.6.2, Peripheral Communications (Ports), for more information.)
