Interrupt Arbitration
The HPC16083 contains arbitration logic to determine which
interrupt will be serviced first if two or more interrupts occur
simultaneously. The arbitration ranking is given in Table III.
The interrupt on RESET
has the highest rank and is serv-
iced first.
Interrupt Processing
Interrupts are serviced after the current instruction is com-
pleted except for the RESET
, which is serviced immediately.
RESET and EXUI are level-LOW-sensitive interrupts and EI
is programmable for edge-(RISING or FALLING) or level-
(HIGH or LOW) sensitivity. All other interrupts are edge-sen-
sitive. NMI is positive-edge sensitive. The external interrupts
on I2, I3 and I4 can be software selected to be rising or
falling edge. External interrupt (EXUI
) is shared with the
UART interrupt. This interrupt is level-low sensitive. To se-
lect this interrupt disable the ERI and ETI UART interrupt
bits in the ENUI register. To select the UART interrupt leave
this pin floating or tie it high.
Interrupt Control Registers
The HPC16083 allows the various interrupt sources and
conditions to be programmed. This is done through the vari-
ous control registers. A brief description of the different con-
trol registers is given below.
INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER (ENIR)
RESET
and the External Interrupt on I1 are non-maskable
interrupts. The other interrupts can be individually enabled
or disabled. Additionally, a Global Interrupt Enable Bit in the
ENIR Register allows the Maskable interrupts to be collec-
tively enabled or disabled. Thus, in order for a particular
interrupt to request service both the individual enable bit
and the Global Interrupt bit (GIE) have to be set.
INTERRUPT PENDING REGISTER (IRPD)
The IRPD register contains a bit allocated for each interrupt
vector. The occurrence of specified interrupt trigger condi-
tions causes the appropriate bit to be set. There is no indi-
cation of the order in which the interrupts have been re-
ceived. The bits are set independently of the fact that the
interrupts may be disabled. IRPD is a Read/Write register.
The bits corresponding to the maskable, external interrupts
are normally cleared by the HPC16083 after servicing the
interrupts.
For the interrupts from the on-board peripherals, the user
has the responsibility of resetting the interrupt pending flags
through software.
The NMI bit is read only and I2, I3, and I4 are designed as to
only allow a zero to be written to the pending bit (writing a
one has no affect). A LOAD IMMEDIATE instruction is to be
the only instruction used to clear a bit or bits in the IRPD
register. This allows a mask to be used, thus ensuring that
the other pending bits are not affected.
INTERRUPT CONDITION REGISTER (IRCD)
Three bits of the register select the input polarity of the
external interrupt on I2, I3, and I4.
Servicing the Interrupts
The Interrupt, once acknowledged, pushes the program
counter (PC) onto the stack thus incrementing the stack
pointer (SP) twice. The Global Interrupt Enable bit (GIE) is
copied into the CGIE bit of the PSW register; it is then reset,
thus disabling further interrupts. The program counter is
loaded with the contents of the memory at the vector ad-
dress and the processor resumes operation at this point. At
the end of the interrupt service routine, the user does a
RETI instruction to pop the stack and re-enable interrupts if
the CGIE bit is set, or RET to just pop the stack if the CGIE
bit is clear, and then returns to the main program. The GIE
bit can be set in the interrupt service routine to nest inter-
rupts if desired.
Figure 18 shows the Interrupt Enable Logic.
RESET
The RESET input initializes the processor and sets ports A
and B in the TRI-STATE condition and port P in the LOW
state. RESET
is an active-low Schmitt trigger input. The
processor vectors to FFFF:FFFE and resumes operation at
the address contained at that memory location (which must
correspond to an on board location). The Reset vector ad-
dress must be between E000 and FFFF when using the
HPC16003.
