System Integration Module (SIM)
10.5.1.1 Hardware Interrupts
A hardware interrupt does not stop the current instruction. Processing of a hardware interrupt begins after
completion of the current instruction. When the current instruction is complete, the SIM checks all pending
hardware interrupts. If interrupts are not masked (I bit clear in the condition code register), and if the
corresponding interrupt enable bit is set, the SIM proceeds with interrupt processing; otherwise, the next
instruction is fetched and executed.
If more than one interrupt is pending at the end of an instruction execution, the highest priority interrupt is
serviced first. Figure 10-11 demonstrates what happens when two interrupts are pending. If an interrupt
is pending upon exit from the original interrupt service routine, the pending interrupt is serviced before the
LDA instruction is executed.
The LDA opcode is prefetched by both the INT1 and INT2 RTI instructions. However, in the case of the
INT1 RTI prefetch, this is a redundant operation.
NOTE
To maintain compatibility with the M68HC05, M6805, and M146805
Families the H register is not pushed on the stack during interrupt entry. If
the interrupt service routine modifies the H register or uses the indexed
addressing mode, software should save the H register and then restore it
prior to exiting the routine.

10.5.1.2 SWI Instruction
The SWI instruction is a non-maskable instruction that causes an interrupt regardless of the state of the
interrupt mask (I bit) in the condition code register.
NOTE
A software interrupt pushes PC onto the stack. A software interrupt does
not push PC – 1, as a hardware interrupt does.
