ABSTRACT:
An information processor has at least one interface unit by which the processor is coupled to peripheral equipment. The interface unit can selectively generate either a first mode signal or a second mode signal when the processor performs an interruption operation according to request from the peripheral equipment. When the processor performs the interruption operation in response to the first mode signal, a stack operation for saving information necessary to restart execution of a program which is stopped by the interruption in a stack memory is performed before the start of the interruption operation. The processor can perform the interruption operation in response to the second mode signal without the stack operation, providing an improved processor with less overhead. The two interruption mode technique is described in a number of applications, including D/A conversion, serial data transmission and reception, and operation of computer peripheral devices.
