MCS@I-51 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
As soon as any priority 1 interrupt is acknowledged,
the IE (Interrupt Enable) register is m-defined so as to
disable all but “priority 2“ interrupts. Then, a CALL to
LAEEL exeoutes the RETI instruction, which clears
the priority 1 interrupt-in-program tlip-flop. At this
point SIly priority 1 interrupt that is enabled can be
seticed, but
Ody “priority’ 2“ illtCSTUptSare enabled.
POPping IE restores the original enable byte. Tberr a
normal RET (rather than another RETI) is used to
terminate the service routine. The additional software
adds 10 ps (at
12MHz) to priority 1 interrupts.
