Interrupt Flag Register
(Cont'd)
Program Interrupt
Note: If the interrupt condition is one of the four program interrupts,
the corresponding bit in the Program Mask register must also be
set to cause an interrupt.
The Interrupt Flag register is scanned on a priority basis and the
highest priority interrupts are serviced first. Each interrupt condition is
assigned a specific weight which is
put into the rightmost eight bits of
General register No. 15 of the ini tiated state ( P 3 or P 4). This weight can
be used by
the program to enter the proper interrupt routine.
Note: The rightmost two bytes of General register No. 15 in P
3
or P
4
are
cleared and reloaded each time an interrupt occurs.
Table 8 lists
the priority, the Interrupt Flag register position, the
program state initiated, and the weight of each of the interrupt conditions.
