Contention between Interrupt Generation and Disabling

When an interrupt enable bit is cleared to 0 to disable interrupts, the disabling becomes effective

after execution of the instruction.

When an interrupt enable bit is cleared to 0 by an instruction such as BCLR or MOV, if an

interrupt is generated during execution of the instruction, the interrupt concerned will still be

enabled on completion of the instruction, and so interrupt exception handling for that interrupt will

be executed on completion of the instruction. However, if there is an interrupt request of higher

priority than that interrupt, interrupt exception handling will be executed for the higher-priority

interrupt, and the lower-priority interrupt will be ignored.

The same also applies when an interrupt source flag is cleared to 0.

Figure 5.8 shows an example in which the TGIEA bit in the TPU's TIER_0 is cleared to 0.

The above contention will not occur if an enable bit or interrupt source flag is cleared to 0 while

the interrupt is masked.
