7.4 Interrupt Setup Procedures
7.4.1 INITIALIZATION
To configure an interrupt source at initialization:
1. Set the NSTDIS bit (INTCON1<15>) if nested
interrupts are not desired.
2. Select the user-assigned priority level for the
interrupt source by writing the control bits into
the appropriate IPCx register. The priority level
will depend on the specific application and type
of interrupt source. If multiple priority levels are
not desired, the IPCx register control bits for all
enabled interrupt sources can be programmed
to the same non-zero value.
Note:
At a device Reset, the IPCx registers
are initialized such that all user inter-
rupt sources are assigned to priority
level 4.
3. Clear the interrupt flag status bit associated with
the peripheral in the associated IFSx register.
4. Enable the interrupt source by setting the
interrupt enable control bit associated with the
source in the appropriate IECx register.
7.4.2
INTERRUPT SERVICE ROUTINE
(ISR)
The method used to declare an Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR) and initialize the IVT with the correct
vector address depends on the programming language
(C or Assembler) and the language development
toolsuite used to develop the application.
In general, the user application must clear the interrupt
flag in the appropriate IFSx register for the source of
interrupt that the ISR handles. Otherwise, the program
will re-enter the ISR immediately after exiting the
routine. If the ISR is coded in assembly language, it
must be terminated using a RETFIE instruction to
unstack the saved PC value, SRL value and old CPU
priority level.
7.4.3 TRAP SERVICE ROUTINE (TSR)
A Trap Service Routine (TSR) is coded like an ISR,
except that the appropriate trap status flag in the
INTCON1 register must be cleared to avoid re-entry
into the TSR.
7.4.4 INTERRUPT DISABLE
All user interrupts can be disabled using this
procedure:
1. Push the current SR value onto the software
stack using the PUSH instruction.
2. Force the CPU to priority level 7 by inclusive
ORing the value OEh with SRL.
To enable user interrupts, the POP instruction can be
used to restore the previous SR value.
Note:
Only user interrupts with a priority level of
7 or lower can be disabled. Trap sources
(level 8-level 15) cannot be disabled.
The DISI instruction provides a convenient way to
disable interrupts of priority levels 1-6 for a fixed period
of time. Level 7 interrupt sources are not disabled by
the DISI instruction.
