3.4 Interrupt/General Control Register
The interrupt/general control (IntGenCtrl) is a 16-bit wide port-mapped register
located at address 0x38. The primary component in the IntGenCtrl is the 8-bit
interrupt mask register (IMR). The service branch enable status for each of the
eight interrupts is registered in the IMR. A SET bit in the IMR enables that
interrupt to assume the service branch (at the time that the associated trigger
event occurs). A CLEAR bit disables the service branch for that interrupt. The
IMR is located at bits 0 through 7 in the IntGenCtrl. Bit 0 is associated with
INT0, which is the highest priority interrupt. Bit 7 is associated with INT7. Refer
to Section 2.7,
Interrupt Logic
, for more information regarding the
interrupt-system logic and initialization sequence.

The remaining bits in the IntGenCtrl have various control functions which are
not directly related to the interrupt system. Four of these are related to the timer
functions. Bits 8 and 9 are used to select the clock sources which govern the
rates of TIMER1 and TIMER2. Clearing bit 8 chooses 1/2 MC as the source
for TIMER1 (i.e., the TIMER runs at one-half the frequency of the Master
Clock). Setting bit 8 chooses the oscillator reference (RTO or CRO) as the
source for TIMER1. (The same applies for bit 9 and TIMER2.) Bits 10 and 11
in the IntGenCtrl are used to enable TIMER1 and TIMER2, respectively.
Setting bit 10
starts
TIMER1, and clearing bit 10
stops
TIMER1. (The same
applies for bit 11 and TIMER2).
