W77E058A
11.3 Interrupt Response Time
The response time for each interrupt source depends on several factors, such as the nature of the
interrupt and the instruction underway. In the case of external interrupts INT0 to INT5 , they are
sampled at C3 of every machine cycle and then their corresponding interrupt flags IEx will be set or
reset. The Timer 0 and 1 overflow flags are set at C3 of the machine cycle in which overflow has
occurred. These flag values are polled only in the next machine cycle. If a request is active and all
three conditions are met, then the hardware generated LCALL is executed. This LCALL itself takes
four machine cycles to be completed. Thus there is a minimum time of five machine cycles between
the interrupt flag being set and the interrupt service routine being executed.
A longer response time should be anticipated if any of the three conditions are not met. If a higher or
equal priority is being serviced, then the interrupt latency time obviously depends on the nature of the
service routine currently being executed. If the polling cycle is not the last machine cycle of the
instruction being executed, then an additional delay is introduced. The maximum response time (if no
other interrupt is in service) occurs if the W77E058 is performing a write to IE, IP, EIE or EIP and then
executes a MUL or DIV instruction. From the time an interrupt source is activated, the longest reaction
time is 12 machine cycles. This includes 1 machine cycle to detect the interrupt, 2 machine cycles to
complete the IE, IP, EIE or EIP access, 5 machine cycles to complete the MUL or DIV instruction and
4 machine cycles to complete the hardware LCALL to the interrupt vector location.
Thus in a single-interrupt system the interrupt response time will always be more than 5 machine
cycles and not more than 12 machine cycles. The maximum latency of 12 machine cycle is 48 clock
cycles. Note that in the standard 8051 the maximum latency is 8 machine cycles which equals 96
machine cycles. This is a 50% reduction in terms of clock periods.
