7.2.3 NP flag
The NP flag is a status flag that indicates that non-maskable interrupt (NMI) servicing is under execution. This
flag is set when an NMI interrupt request has been acknowledged, and masks all interrupt requests to prohibit
multiple interrupts from being acknowledged.
After reset: 00000020H

7.2.4 Noise eliminator of NMI pin
NMI pin noise is eliminated by a noise eliminator using analog delay. Therefore, a signal input to the NMI pin is
not detected as an edge, unless it maintains its input level for a certain period. The edge is detected only after a
certain period has elapsed.
The NMI pin is used for canceling the software stop mode. In the software stop mode, noise elimination using the
system clock does not occur because the internal system clock is stopped.
