MPU-9

Counter, Accumulators, and Condition Code Register are

stored away on the stack. Next the MPU will respond to the

interrupt request by setting the interrupt mask bit high so

that no further interrupts may occur. At the end of the

cycle, a 16-bit address will be loaded that points to a

vectoring address which is located in memory locations n-6

and n-7 where n is the highest ROM address. An address

loaded at these locations causes the MPU to branch to an

interrupt routine in memory.

5. Phase One (Øl)& Phase (Ø2)Clocks:

These two pins are used or a two phase non-overlapping

clock that runs at the V DD voltage level.

These clocks run at a rate up to 1 megahertz.

6. Restart (RES):

RESTART (RES)--This input is used to start the MPU from a

power down condition, resulting from a power failure or an

initial start-up of the processor. If a positive edge is

detected on the input, this will signal the MPU to begin

the restart sequence. This will restart the MPU and start

execution of a routine to initialize the processor. All the

higher order address lines will be forced high. For the

restart, the last 2 memory locations in the last ROM

(n&n-1) will be accessed, whereby an address is stored

which is the address to be loaded in the program counter

which tells the processor where program execution is to

begin.

7. NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT(NMI):

This input requests that a nonmask-interrupt sequence be

generated within the processor. As with the Interrupt
