4.7.2 Instructions that Disable Interrupts
The instructions that disable interrupts are LDC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC.
When an interrupt request is generated, an interrupt is requested to the CPU after the interrupt
controller has determined the mask level. At that time, if the CPU is executing an instruction that
disables interrupts, the CPU always executes the next instruction after the instruction execution is
completed.
4.7.3 Interrupts during Execution of EEPMOV Instruction
Interrupt operation differs between the EEPMOV.B instruction and the EEPMOV.W instruction.
With the EEPMOV.B instruction, an interrupt request (including NMI) issued during transfer is
not accepted until the transfer is completed.
With the EEPMOV.W instruction, even if an interrupt request other than the NMI is issued during
transfer, the interrupt is not accepted until the transfer is completed. If the NMI interrupt request is
issued, NMI exception handling starts at a break in the transfer cycle. The PC value saved on the
stack in this case is the address of the next instruction.
Therefore, if an NMI interrupt is generated during execution of an EEPMOV.W instruction, the
following coding should be used.
L1: EEPMOV.W
MOV.W R4,R4
BNE L1
4.7.4 IENR Clearing
When an interrupt request is disabled by clearing the interrupt enable register or when the interrupt
request register is cleared, the interrupt request should be masked (I bit = 1). If the above operation
is executed while the I bit is 0 and contention between the instruction execution and the interrupt
request generation occurs, exception handling, which corresponds to the interrupt request
generated after instruction execution of the above operation is completed, is executed.
