(4) Internal state during an interrupt
The internal state of the microcomputer during an interrupt is
as follows (Figure 14).
Program counter (PC)
An interrupt address is set in program counter. The
address to be executed when returning to the main routine
is automatically stored in the stack register (SK).
Interrupt enable flag (INTE)
INTE flag is cleared to “0” so that interrupts are disabled.
Interrupt request flag
Only the request flag for the current interrupt source is
cleared to “0.”
Data pointer, carry flag, skip flag, registers A and B
The contents of these registers and flags are stored
automatically in the interrupt stack register (SDP).
(5) Interrupt processing
When an interrupt occurs, a program at an interrupt address
is executed after a branch to a sequence for storing data into
stack register is performed. Write the branch instruction to
an interrupt service routine at an interrupt address.
Use the RTI instruction to return to main routine.
Interrupt enabled by executing the EI instruction is performed
after executing 1 instruction (just after the next instruction is
executed). Accordingly, when the EI instruction is executed
just before the RTI instruction, interrupts are enabled after
returning to the main routine. (Refer to Figure 13)
