5 Interrupt Controller (ITC)
5.1 Overview
The features of the ITC are listed below.
• Honors interrupt requests from the peripheral circuits and outputs the interrupt request, interrupt level and vector
number signals to the CPU.
• The interrupt level of each interrupt source is selectable from among eight levels.
• Priorities of the simultaneously generated interrupts are established from the interrupt level.
• Handles the simultaneously generated interrupts with the same interrupt level as smaller vector number has high-
er priority.
Figure 5.1.1 shows the configuration of the ITC.

5.2 Vector Table
The vector table contains the vectors to the interrupt handler routines (handler routine start address) that will be
read by the CPU to execute the handler when an interrupt occurs.
Table 5.2.1 shows the vector table.
