CHAPTER 11 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS

11.1 Interrupt Function Types

The following two types of interrupt functions are used.

(1) Non-maskable interrupt

This interrupt is acknowledged unconditionally. It does no undergo interrupt priority control and is given top

priority over all other interrupt requests.

A standby release signal is generated.

One interrupt source from the watchdog timer is incorporated as a non-maskable interrupt.

(2) Maskable interrupt

These interrupts undergo mask control. If two or more interrupts with the same priority are simultaneously

generated, each interrupt has a predetermined priority as shown in Table 11-1.

A standby release signal is generated.

Two external and nine internal interrupt sources are incorporated as maskable interrupts.

11.2 Interrupt Sources and Configuration

A total of 12 non-maskable and maskable interrupts are incorporated as interrupt sources (see Table 11-1).
