Activation Sources - Renesas H8S Series Hardware Manual

8.3.2

Activation Sources

The DTC operates when activated by an interrupt or by a write to DTVECR by software. An interrupt request can be
directed to the CPU or DTC, as designated by the corresponding DTCER bit. An interrupt becomes a DTC activation
source when the corresponding bit is set to 1, and a CPU interrupt source when the bit is cleared to 0.
At the end of a data transfer (or the last consecutive transfer in the case of chain transfer), the activation source or
corresponding DTCER bit is cleared. Table 8-3 shows activation source and DTCER clearance. The activation source flag,
in the case of RXI0, for example, is the RDRF flag of SCI0.

Figure 8-3 shows a block diagram of activation source control. For details see section 5, Interrupt Controller.
Source flag cleared
IRQ interrupt
When an interrupt has been designated a DTC activation source, existing CPU mask level and interrupt controller
priorities have no effect. If there is more than one activation source at the same time, the DTC operates in accordance with
the default priorities.
