ABSTRACT:
A circuit for processing a jump operation also enables handling pending interrupts or exceptions. The jump operation has an operand specifying a destination address. If an interrupt or exception is pending, a destination program counter is set to the contents of the operand. Then the program counter is set to an interrupt or exception handler address. If no interrupt or exception is pending, then the program counter is set to the destination address.
