7 INTERRUPTS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management pro-
vides the following features:
■
■
■
This interrupt management is based on:
– Bit 5 and bit 3 of the CPU CC register (I1:0),
– Interrupt software priority registers (ISPRx),
– Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full
upward compatibility with the standard (not nest-
ed) ST7 interrupt controller.
7.2 MASKING AND PROCESSING FLOW
The interrupt masking is managed by the I1 and I0
bits of the CC register and the ISPRx registers
which give the interrupt software priority level of

high addresses of the memory map (FFE0h to
FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.
– Up to 4 software programmable nesting levels
– Up to 16 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware
– 2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP
– 1 maskable Top Level event: TLI

When an interrupt request has to be serviced:
– Normal processing is suspended at the end of
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
– I1 and I0 bits of CC register are set according to
– The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
The interrupt service routine should end with the
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I1 and I0 bits will be restored from the stack
and the program in the previous level will resume.
