12.3.4 Multiple-Interrupt Handling
The
µPD78214 performs multiple-interrupt handling in which another interrupt request is accepted during one
interrupt is already being handled. Multiple-interrupt handling runs according to priority.
Priority control is based on either default priority or programmable priority specified in the priority specification
flag register (PR0). Priority control by default priority handles interrupt requests according to the default priority
assigned to each interrupt request (see Table 12-2). Priority control by programmable priority divides interrupt
requests into a high-priority group and a low-priority group according to the corresponding bit of the PR0 register.
Table 12-4 lists interrupt requests that can be subjected to multiple-interrupt handling.

Notes 1. Immediately after an interrupt is accepted, interrupts are disabled (IE = 0) automatically. To enable interrupts (IE = 1), execute the
EI instruction.
2. When a nonmaskable interrupt request is being accepted, bit 0 (NMIS) of the interrupt status register (IST) is 1.
When the NMIS bit is 1, nonmaskable interrupt requests are not accepted. To enable multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable
interrupt requests, reset the NMIS flag to 0 by software.
3. When the ISP flag is 1, low priority interrupt requests are accepted.
