Comparator

 

bit is automatically CLEARed again if an INT6 event occurs at the same time

 

that the associated mask bit is SET (IntGenCtrl, address 0x38, bit 6). The latter

 

indicates that the program vectoring associated with INT6 is enabled. (The flag

 

bit is SET when the INT event occurs. Only if the mask bit is set, does the

 

interrupt service occur: vectoring takes place and the flag bit is once again

 

cleared. Refer to Section 2.7, Interrupt Logic, for more details)

 

The INT6 Flag may also be SET or CLEARed deliberately, at any time, in

 

software. Use the OUT instruction with the associated I/O port address (IFR,

 

address 0x39).

 

INT7 flag refers to bit 7 within the interrupt flag register. This bit is automatically

 

SET anytime that an INT7 event occurs. The bit is automatically CLEARed

 

again if an INT7 event occurs at the same time that the associated mask bit

 

is SET (IntGenCtrl, address 0x38, bit 7). The latter indicates that the service

 

for INT7 is enabled.

 

The INT7 Flag may also be SET or CLEARed at any time, in software. Use the

 

OUT instruction with the associated I/O port address (IFR, address 0x39).

 

The TIMER1 enable bit is set or cleared in software: bit 10 of the IntGenCtrl.

 

Similarly, the falling-edge event in the comparator is a trigger for INT7. This

 

happens independently of any activity associated with TIMER1. TIMER1

 

starts counting anytime the following conditional is true:

 

 

IF:

[(INT6 Flag is CLEAR) AND (INT7 Flag is SET)] OR (TIMER1 Enable is SET)]

THEN:

TIMER1 starts counting
