3.2.1 Interrupt priority levels
This device supports 16 priority levels for interrupts. Therefore, in the NVIC each source
in the IPR registers contains 4 bits. For example, IPR0 is shown below:
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10

3.2.2 Non-maskable interrupt
The non-maskable interrupt request to the NVIC is controlled by the external NMI signal.
The pin the NMI signal is multiplexed on, must be configured for the NMI function to
generate the non-maskable interrupt request.
