15.5 Exception Control
Normal, sequential program execution can be changed in three different ways:
• Interrupts:
– Maskable hardware CPU interrupts
– Non-maskable software interrupt instruction (SWI)
• Reset
• Break interrupts
15.5.1 Interrupts
At the beginning of an interrupt, the CPU saves the CPU register contents on the
stack and sets the interrupt mask (I bit) to prevent additional interrupts. At the end
of an interrupt, the RTI instruction recovers the CPU register contents from the
stack so that normal processing can resume. Figure 15-9 shows interrupt entry
timing. Figure 15-10 shows interrupt recovery timing.
Interrupts are latched, and arbitration is performed in the SIM at the start of
interrupt processing. The arbitration result is a constant that the CPU uses to
determine which vector to fetch. Once an interrupt is latched by the SIM, no other
interrupt can take precedence, regardless of priority, until the latched interrupt is
serviced (or the I bit is cleared). See Figure 15-11.
