Interrupt

168
In response to recognizing the system’s maskable interrupt
(INTR), the processor drives an interrupt acknowledge cycle at
t h e n e x t i n s t r u c t i o n b o u n d a ry. D u r i n g a n i n t e r r u p t
acknowledge cycle, the processor drives a locked pair of read
cycles as shown in Figure 68 on page 169. The first read cycle is
not functional, and the second read cycle returns the interrupt
number on D[7:0] (00h–FFh). Table 27 shows the state of the
signals during an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
Table 27. Interrupt Acknowledge Operation Definition
The system logic can drive INTR either synchronously or
asynchronously. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must be
asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks. To ensure it
is recognized, INTR must remain asserted until an interrupt
acknowledge sequence is complete.
