19.5 Interrupt Response Time
The time from generation of an interrupt request until interrupt exception handling is performed
and fetching of the first instruction of the exception service routine is started (the interrupt
response time) is shown in table 19.9.

When Icyc:
Bcyc = 8:1
Icyc: One cycle of internal clock supplied to CPU, etc.
Bcyc: One CKIO cycle
S: Latency of instruction
Note: * In the SH7750 and SH7750S including the case where the mask bit (IMASK) in SR is
changed, and a new interrupt is generated.
