A maskable hardware interrupt is one that can be disabled, or masked, by instructions in the CPU.

In the 8085, all interupts except TRAP and (software) RST N can be masked by disabling interrupts, and RST7.5, RST6.5, and RST5.5 can be individually masked with the SIM (Set Interrupt Mask) instruction.

In general, you leave interrupts disabled until one instruction before returning. In the case of the RST*.5 interrupts, you can mask it during interrupt processing and then enable interrupts, allowing other levels to interrupt you again. At the conclusion of the interrupt routine, you would disable interrupts, restore the mask, enable interrupts, and return. If you use this method, you can choose the nesting priority as desired. You determine what mask to set using the RIM (Read Interrupt Mask) instruction and then do bit manipulation before using SIM.

Describe RST 5.5 interrupts in 8085 microprocessor with examples?

RST 5.5 is level triggered interrupt & maskable also. it can be masked by using SIM intrruction. Vector address of the RST 5.5 interrupt is 002Ch


What is the 8086 interrupt to play music?

An interrupt is a mechanism for hardware of software to interrupt the processor to go do something else. Playing music is a much higher level abstraction, and it is not valid to ask what is the interrupt to play music, partly because it depends on the specific hardware implementation.


What is a TrapHandler?

A trap handler, also called an interrupt handler or interrupt service routine (ISR) is a program that executes when predefined events occur in a computer. There are software and hardware interrupts. An interrupt causes the computer's processor to stop running its current task and immediately run the trap handler to service the interrupt.


What does a catheter ablation interrupt?

The technique of catheter ablation (meaning tube-guided removal) is used to interrupt the abnormal contractions in the heart, allowing normal heart beating to resume.


Describe the sequence of events that takes place when an interrupt is raised?

Interrupt Handling 1. Hardware stacks program counter, etc. 2. Hardware loads new program counter from interrupt vector. 3. Assembly language procedure saves registers. 4. Assembly language procedure sets up new stack. 5. C interrupt service runs (typically reads and buffers input). 6. Scheduler decides which process is to run next. 7. C procedure returns to the assembly code. 8. Assembly language procedure starts up new current process.

What is an maskable intErrupt?

interrupts in 8085 are basically classified into two types: 1.Maskable 2.Non maskable maskable interrupts are those which can be delayed.This is done by masking off the interrupts which are not required. Maskable interrupts are:RST 7.5,RST 6.5,RST 5.5 and INTR <decreasing order of priority>


What is a non-maskable?

A non-maskable interrupt is an interrupt that cannot be blocked, or masked, by the processor. In the 8085, TRAP is such an interrupt. If TRAP goes high and stays high, an interrupt vector sequence at address 24H will occur, and there is nothing the processor can do to prevent that.However, external hardware can accomplish the same thing. In a project that I designed, I needed a fourth single pin interrupt beyond RST5.5, RST6.5, and RST7.5, but I needed it to be maskable, so I built a flip flop in hardware that I could set or reset which would be AND'ed with the interrupt request to generate a maskable TRAP.


Is rst7.5 is a maskable interrupt in 8086?

No. RST7.5 is a maskable interrupt on the 8085, not the 8086/8088.


Is trap is maskable or nonmaskable?

The TRAP interrupt is non-maskable.


An interrupt that can temporarily ignored by the counter is known as?

Maskable Interrupt


IS Trap is non-maskable interrupt?

yes.


What does Microprocessor does when it encounters an non maskable interrupt?

Finishes the current executing instruction and then serves the interrupt.


What is meant by trap in 8085?

TRAP is a single pin interrupt that is non-maskable in the 8085. It is intended for notification of serious system problems and/or as an aid to a hardware assisted debugger.


What is maskable in Intel 8085 microprocessore?

Four of the interrupts in the Intel 8085 (INTR, RST5.5, RST6.5, and RST7.5) are maskable, while one interrupt (TRAP) is non-maskable.The eight RSTx type of software "interrupts" are not really interrupts, but if they were treated as interrupts, they would be non-maskable.


Different between maskable and non-maskable interrupt?

Maskable interrupts trigger events are not always important and so the programmer can decide that the event should not cause a program to jump. Nonmaskable interrupts can not be ignored by the programmer and therefore they have absolute priority.


What is the use of RST?

RSTn(0-7) is software interrupt & RST(7.5,6.5,5.5) are INTEL's 8085 maskable interrupts their priority is respectively 7.5,6.5,5.5.RSTn.5 is hardware intterrupt and it is controlled by the external pin available on the chip of 8085. it is used to interrupt the microprocessor from its normal execution and tends to execute some ISR(interrupt service routine)


Why do you need 8085 maskable interrupts if they can be disabled?

if u want to execute high priority interrupt,at that time of low priority running.So, we can mask the low priority interrupt and execute the high priority interrupt.
