CHAPTER 17 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS
17.4 Interrupt Servicing Operations
17.4.1 Maskable interrupt acknowledgment
A maskable interrupt becomes acknowledgeable when the interrupt request flag is set to 1 and the mask (MK) flag
corresponding to that interrupt request is cleared to 0. A vectored interrupt request is acknowledged if interrupts are
in the interrupt enabled state (when the IE flag is set to 1). However, a low-priority interrupt request is not
acknowledged during servicing of a higher priority interrupt request (when the ISP flag is reset to 0).
The times from generation of a maskable interrupt request until vectored interrupt servicing is performed are listed
in Table 17-4 below.
For the interrupt request acknowledgment timing, see Figures 17-8 and 17-9.

Note If an interrupt request is generated just before a divide instruction, the wait time becomes longer.
Remark 1 clock: 1/fCPU (fCPU: CPU clock)
If two or more maskable interrupt requests are generated simultaneously, the request with a higher priority level
specified in the priority specification flag is acknowledged first. If two or more interrupts requests have the same
priority level, the request with the highest default priority is acknowledged first.
An interrupt request that is held pending is acknowledged when it becomes acknowledgeable.
Figure 17-7 shows the interrupt request acknowledgment algorithm.
If a maskable interrupt request is acknowledged, the contents are saved into the stacks in the order of PSW, then
PC, the IE flag is reset (0), and the contents of the priority specification flag corresponding to the acknowledged
interrupt are transferred to the ISP flag. The vector table data determined for each interrupt request is the loaded into
the PC and branched.
Restoring from an interrupt is possible by using the RETI instruction.
