AT90S/LS4433
1042G–AVR–09/02
MCU Status Register –
MCUSR The MCU Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU
Reset.
• Bits 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the AT90S4433 and always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Watchdog Reset occurs. The bit is cleared by a Power-On Reset, or by
writing a logical “0” to the flag.
• Bit 2 – BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Brown-out Reset occurs. The bit is cleared by a Power-on Reset, or by
writing a logical “0” to the flag.
• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an External Reset occurs. The bit is cleared by a Power-on Reset, or by
writing a logical “0” to the flag.
• Bit 0 – PORF: Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Power-on Reset occurs. The bit is cleared only by writing a logical “0”
to the flag.
To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and
then clear the MCUSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared
before another reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by examining the
Reset Flags.
Interrupt Handling The AT90S4433 has two 8-bit Interrupt Mask Control Registers; GIMSK (General Inter-
rupt Mask) Register and TIMSK (Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask) Register.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared (zero) and all inter-
rupts are disabled. The user software can set (one) the I-bit to enable nested interrupts.
The I-bit is set (one) when a Return from Interrupt instruction (RETI) is executed.
When the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute
the interrupt handling routine, hardware clears the corresponding flag that generated the
interrupt. Some of the interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logical “1” to the
flag bit position(s) to be cleared.
If an interrupt condition occurs when the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared
(zero), the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled or the
flag is cleared by software.
If one or more interrupt conditions occur when the Global Interrupt Enable bit is cleared
(zero), the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global
Interrupt Enable bit is set (one), and will be executed by order of priority.
Note that external level interrupt does not have a flag and will only be remembered for
as long as the interrupt condition is active.
