14.1 Interrupt Sequence
GMS82512/16/24
An interrupt request is held until the interrupt is accepted
or the interrupt latch is cleared to “0” by a reset or an in-
struction. Interrupt acceptance sequence requires 8 fXIN (2
µs at fMAIN=4.19MHz) after the completion of the current
instruction execution. The interrupt service task is termi-
nated upon execution of an interrupt return instruction
[RETI].
2. Interrupt request flag for the interrupt source accepted is
cleared to “0”.
3. The contents of the program counter (return address)
and the program status word are saved (pushed) onto the
stack area. The stack pointer decreases 3 times.
4. The entry address of the interrupt service program is
read from the vector table address and the entry address
is loaded to the program counter.
Interrupt acceptance
1. The interrupt master enable flag (I-flag) is cleared to
“0” to temporarily disable the acceptance of any follow-
ing maskable interrupts. When a non-maskable inter-
rupt is accepted, the acceptance of any following
interrupts is temporarily disabled.
5. The instruction stored at the entry address of the inter-
rupt service program is executed.

Saving/Restoring General-purpose Register
During interrupt acceptance processing, the program
counter and the program status word are automatically
saved on the stack, but accumulator and other registers are
not saved itself. These registers are saved by the software
if necessary. Also, when multiple interrupt services are
nested, it is necessary to avoid using the same data memory

and the entry address of the interrupt service program.
A interrupt request is not accepted until the I-flag is set to
“1” even if a requested interrupt has higher priority than
that of the current interrupt being serviced.
