Outline of Interrupts

The F MC-16LX has interrupt functions that terminate the currently executing
processing and transfer control to another specified program when a specified event
occurs. There are four types of interrupt functions:
• Hardware interrupt: Interrupt processing due to an internal resource event
• Software interrupt: Interrupt processing due to a software event occurrence instruction
• Extended intelligent I/O service (EI
• Exception: Termination due to an operation exception
Hardware Interrupts
A hardware interrupt is activated by an interrupt request from an internal resource. A hardware interrupt
request occurs when both the interrupt request flag and the interrupt enable flag in an internal resource are
set. Therefore, an internal resource must have an interrupt request flag and interrupt enable flag to issue a
hardware interrupt request.

An interrupt level can be specified for the hardware interrupt. To specify an interrupt level, use
the level setting bits (IL0, IL1, and IL2) of the interrupt controller.
A hardware interrupt request can be masked by using the I flag of the processor status register
(PS) in the CPU and the ILM bits (IL0, IL1, and IL2). When an unmasked interrupt request
occurs, the CPU saves 12 bytes of data that consists of registers PS, PC, PCB, DTB, ADB, DPR,
and A in the memory area indicated by the SSB and SSP registers.
