In addition to the regular calls, the implicit interrupt call also clears the general interrupt flag (flag I in the Status Register). This way, nested interrupts are disabled by default. However, they can be enabled explicitely. This behavior is questionable, but is implemented for the sake of AVR compatibility. <br> After an interrupt generates an implicit call, further interrupts are disabled for 4 clocks. This way, at least one instruction will be executed fron the called subroutine. Only after that, another interrupt can change the instruction flow. <br> <br> All calls take 4 clocks. <br> </dl><dl compact><dt><b> Call state machine</b><dd> <br> <div align="center"> <img src="pavr_pipe_calls_01.gif" alt="pavr_pipe_calls_01.gif"> </div> <br> </dl><hr><address align="right"><small>Generated on Tue Dec 31 20:26:31 2002 for Pipelined AVR microcontroller by <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/index.html"> <img src="doxygen.png" alt="doxygen" align="middle" border=0 width=110 height=53></a>1.2.16 </small></address> </body> </html>
