9. Interrupts
9.4.1 Interrupt Response Time
Figure 9.6 shows the interrupt response time. The interrupt response or interrupt acknowledge time
denotes time from when an interrupt request is generated till when the first instruction in the interrupt
routine is executed. Specifically, it consists of the time from when an interrupt request is generated till
when the instruction then executing is completed ((a) in Figure 9.6) and the time during which the inter-
rupt sequence is executed ((b) in Figure 9.6).

(a) The time from when an interrupt request is generated till when the instruction then
executing is completed. The length of this time varies with the instruction being
executed. The DIVX instruction requires the longest time, which is equal to 30 cycles
(without wait state, the divisor being a register).
(b) The time during which the interrupt sequence is executed. For details, see the table
below. Note, however, that the values in this table must be increased 2 cycles for the
DBC interrupt and 1 cycle for the address match and single-step interrupts.

9.4.2 Variation of IPL when Interrupt Request is Accepted
When a maskable interrupt request is accepted, the interrupt priority level of the accepted interrupt is set
in the IPL.
When a software interrupt or special interrupt request is accepted, one of the interrupt priority levels listed
in Table 9.5 is set in the IPL. Shown in Table 9.5 are the IPL values of software and special interrupts
when they are accepted.
