4 SYSTEM INTERRUPTS
This chapter discusses the System Interrupt Controller (SIC), which is
specific to the ADSP-BF534, ADSP-BF536, ADSP-BF537 derivatives.
While this chapter does refer to features of the Core Event Controller
(CEC), it does not cover all aspects of it. Please refer to the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference for more
information on the CEC.
Overview
The processor system has numerous peripherals, which therefore require
many supporting interrupts.
Features
The Blackfin architecture provides a two-level interrupt processing
scheme:
• The Core Event Controller (CEC) runs in the
CCLK
clock domain.
It interacts closely with the program sequencer and manages the
Event Vector Table (EVT). The CEC processes not only
core-related interrupts such as exceptions, core errors, and emula-
tion events; it also supports software interrupts.
• The System Interrupt Controller (SIC) runs in the
SCLK
clock
domain. It masks, groups, and prioritizes interrupt requests sig-
nalled by on-chip or off-chip peripherals and forwards them to the
CEC.
