Traps / Interrupts
The AT697F handles up to 15 interrupts. The interrupt controller is used to prioritize and propa-
gate interrupts requests from internal or external devices to the integer unit.

Interrupt List
When an interrupt is generated, the corresponding bit is set in the interrupt pending register
(ITP). The pending bits are ANDed with the interrupt mask register and then forwarded to the pri-
ority selector. The highest interrupt from priority level 1 will be forwarded to the IU - if no
unmasked pending interrupt exists on priority level 1, then the highest unmasked interrupt from
priority level 0 is forwarded.
When the IU acknowledges the interrupt, the corresponding pending bit will automatically be
cleared.
Interrupt can also be forced by setting a bit in the interrupt force register. In this case, the IU
acknowledgement will clear the force bit rather than the pending bit.
After reset, the interrupt mask register is set to all zeros while the remaining control registers are
undefined.
The following table presents the assignement of the interrupts.
