System Management Mode<br />

During SMM operation and while in SU8P initiated suspend mode, an<br />

occurrence of either NMI or INTR is latched. In order for INTR to be latched,<br />

the IF flag must have been set. The INTR or NMI is serviced after exiting<br />

suspend mode.<br />

If suspend mode is entered via a HALT instruction from the operating system<br />

or application software, the reception of an 8MI interrupt causes the CPU to<br />

exit suspend mode and enter SMM. If suspend mode is entered via the<br />

hardware (8USP = 0) while the operating system or application software is<br />

active, the CPU latches one occurrence of INTR, NMI, and 8MI.<br />
