2. University of Tehran 2 Outline Interrupts in PC Interrupts and calls 8259 – PIC Programming 8259 Interfacing 8259 in PC

3. University of Tehran 3 What is Interrupt

4. University of Tehran 4 8086/88 Interrupts 256 Interrupts. Types 00 ……. FF. Type is provided in a specified timing.

5. University of Tehran 5 Interrupt Vector Table

6. University of Tehran 6 Answering an Interrupt Save status –FR, IP, CS Service the interrupt –Interrupt service routing (ISR) or Interrupt handler –Based on Interrupt vector number –From Interrupt vector table –Four bytes for every interrupt: CS:IP Return to original position by IRET

7. University of Tehran 7 Difference with Call 1.CALL FAR can jump to any location (1M range) 2.Hardware interrupts can come at any time. 3.Interrupts are maskable. 4.After CALL only CS:IP is saved 5.End of routine: RETF vs. IRET.

8. University of Tehran 8 Interrupt Categories Hardware interrupts: –Only 3 pin, but how 256 interrupt? –INTR (in), NMI (in), and INTA (out) –INTR can be masked by CLI / STI –Active high. »80x86 finished instruction. »Push FR, CS, IP –NMI: INT 02. Software interrupts –INT nn –Example: INT 21H (DOS functions)

9. University of Tehran 9 Interrupt and Flags

10. University of Tehran 10 Predefined Interrupts INT 00 (divide error) INT 01 (single step) –Set Trap flag (how?) –PUSHF, POP AX, … –Trace in debug INT 02 (NMI) INT 03 (breakpoint) INT 04 (signed number overflow) –INT) instruction »Examine Interrupt vector table. »Examine INT 12H (size of conventional RAM in AX)

24. University of Tehran 24 Interrupts (Summary)

25. University of Tehran 25 Edge Triggered and Interrupt Sharing Level triggered mode: IRQ line should be brought down before EOI. Edge triggered mode: noise on IRQ lines might cause false interrupts. New computer and busses. –Level triggered. –Interrupt sharing.
