Interrupt Mask Clear Register
IMC (000D8h; W)
Software uses this register to disable an interrupt. Interrupts are presented to the bus interface only 
when the mask bit is set to 1b and the cause bit set to 1b. The status of the mask bit is reflected in 
the Interrupt Mask Set/Read Register (see 
), and the status of the cause bit is 
reflected in the Interrupt Cause Read Register (see 
Software blocks interrupts by clearing the corresponding mask bit. This is accomplished by writing 
a 1b to the corresponding bit in this register. Bits written with 0b are unchanged (their mask status 
does not change).
