21.6.1 Interrupts

The RAMECC has the following interrupt sources:

  • Dual Bit Error (DUALE) – Indicates that a dual bit error was detected
  • Single Bit Error (SINGLEE) – Indicates that a single-bit error was detected

Each interrupt source has an interrupt flag associated with it. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear (INTFLAG) register is set when the interrupt condition occurs.

Each interrupt can be individually enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set (INTENSET) register and disabled by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear (INTENCLR) register.

An interrupt request is generated when the interrupt flag is set and the corresponding interrupt is enabled. The interrupt request remains active until the ERRADDR register is read, the interrupt is disabled or the RAMECC is Reset.

All interrupt requests from the peripheral are OR'ed together at the system level to generate one combined interrupt request to the NVIC. The user must read the INTFLAG register to determine which interrupt condition is present.

Note: Interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests to be generated.
