Automatic End of Interrupt Mode
In this mode, the PIC automatically performs a Non-Specific EOI operation at the
trailing edge of the last interrupt acknowledge pulse. From a system standpoint, this
mode should be used only when a nested multi-level interrupt structure is not required
within a single PIC. The AEOI mode can only be used in the master controller and not
the slave controller.

mode should be used only when a nested multi-level interrupt structure is not required
within a single PIC. The AEOI mode can only be used in the master controller and not
the slave controller.
Note:
Both the master and slave PICs have an AEOI bit: MICW4.AEOI and SICW4.AEOI
respectively. Only the MICW4.AEOI bit should be set by software. The SICW4.AEOI bit
should not be set by software.

Masking Interrupts
42.1.6.1
Masking on an Individual Interrupt Request
Each interrupt request can be masked individually by the Interrupt Mask Register
(IMR). This register is programmed through OCW1. Each bit in the IMR masks one
interrupt channel. Masking IRQ2 on the master controller masks all requests for service
from the slave controller.

from the slave controller.
42.1.6.2
Special Mask Mode
Some applications may require an interrupt service routine to dynamically alter the
system priority structure during its execution under software control. For example, the
routine may wish to inhibit lower priority requests for a portion of its execution but
enable some of them for another portion.
system priority structure during its execution under software control. For example, the
routine may wish to inhibit lower priority requests for a portion of its execution but
enable some of them for another portion.
The special mask mode enables all interrupts not masked by a bit set in the Mask
register. Normally, when an interrupt service routine acknowledges an interrupt without
issuing an EOI to clear the ISR bit, the interrupt controller inhibits all lower priority
requests. In the special mask mode, any interrupts may be selectively enabled by
loading the Mask Register with the appropriate pattern.

The special mask mode is set by OCW3.ESMM=1b & OCW3.SMM=1b, and cleared

IO Mapped Registers
The interrupt controller registers are located at 20h and 21h for the master controller
(IRQ0 - 7), and at A0h and A1h for the slave controller (IRQ8 - 13). These registers
have multiple functions, depending upon the data written to them.
