UM001604-0108 Interrupts
105
To generate a SWI, the appropriate request bit in the IRQ is set as follows:
ORIRQ, #NUMBER
where the immediate data, NUMBER, has a 1 in the bit position corresponding to the
appropriate level of the SWI. For example, if an SWI is required on IRQ5, NUMBER
would have a 1 in bit 5:
OR IRQ, #00100000b
With this instruction, if the interrupt system is globally enabled, IRQ5 is enabled, and
there are no higher priority pending requests, control is transferred to the service routine
pointed to by the IRQ5 vector.
Vectored Processing
Each Z8 interrupt level has its own vector. When an interrupt occurs, control passes to the
service routine pointed to by the interrupt’s vector location in Program Memory. The
sequence of events for vectored interrupts is as follows:
•
PUSH PC Low byte on stack
•
PUSH PC High byte on stack
•
PUSH FLAGS on stack
•
Fetch High byte of vector
•
Fetch Low byte of vector
•
Branch to service routine specified by vector
Figure 100 on page 106 and Figure 101 on page 107 display the vectored interrupt opera-
tion.
