STR720 - ENHANCED INTERRUPT CONTROLLER (EIC)

51/401

7 ENHANCED INTERRUPT CONTROLLER (EIC)

7.1 Introduction

The ARM720T CPU provides two levels of interrupt, FIQ (Fast Interrupt Request) for fast, low

latency interrupt handling and IRQ (Interrupt Request) for more general interrupts.

Hardware handling of multiple interrupt channels, interrupt priority and automatic vectorization

require therefore a separate Enhanced Interrupt Controller (EIC).

7.2 Main Features

■

32 maskable interrupt channels, mapped on ARM’s interrupt request pin IRQ

■

16 programmable priority levels for each interrupt channels mapped on IRQ

■

hardware support for interrupt nesting (16 levels)

■

3 maskable interrupt channels, mapped on ARM’s interrupt request pin FIQ, with neither

priority nor vectorization
