8085 Microprocessor Interrupt Execution Sequence
Handling an interrupt in the 8085 microprocessor involves a specific order of operations to ensure the current program can be resumed correctly after the interrupt is serviced.
Interrupt Handling Steps
The execution flow for handling an interrupt follows these steps:
- A. Interrupt Acknowledged: The microprocessor first detects and acknowledges the external interrupt signal (like INTR, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5, or NMI).
- B. Program Counter (PC) Content Saved: To allow resuming the interrupted program later, the address of the next instruction in the main program (stored in the Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack.
- D. Interrupt Vector Read: The microprocessor determines the starting address of the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). For specific interrupts (like RST instructions), the vector is implied. For others (like INTR), an external device provides this information, or an interrupt vector table is consulted.
- C. Control Transferred to ISR: Once the ISR address is known, the microprocessor loads the PC with this address, effectively transferring program control to the Interrupt Service Routine.
Therefore, the correct sequence is A, B, D, C.
