PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
2.1.s.s
ISR · The 8-bit Interrupt Service .Register
stores
the
acknowledge
status
of interrupt requests.
When an interrupt is
acknowledged, the controller selects the highest priority pending
request,
clears its IRR bit, and sets its ISR bit.
ISR bits can
be automatically cleared at the end of the acknowledge
cycle
or
on
specific
command.
The ISR can be read throught the !CSR and
ICDR.
RESET clears the IRR.
2.1.S.6
ACR · The
8-bit
Auto
Clear
Register
specifies
the
clearing
mode
for
the
ISR.
A set
ACR
bit
specifies
the
corresponding ISR bit will be automatically cleared at the end of
the
acknowledge
cycle:
and
a
cleared
ACR bit means that the
corresponding ISR bit must be cleared by the CPU through the ICSR
and
ICDR.
The ACR can be read through the ICSR and ICDR.
RESET
clears the ACR.
2.1.5.7
Mode · The
8-bit
Interrupt
Controller
Mode
Register
controls
many
controller
options.
The Mode register is loaded
through the ICSR and ICDR.
It cannot be read.
Bits 00, 02,
and
07
are
available
to the ICSR on read operations.
RESET clears
the Mode
~egister.
The bits are described in Table 2·11.
