6.1 How to read this chapter
The NVIC is identical for all LPC11U3x/2x/1x parts. See
for details.
Interrupt 31 (I/O Handler interrupt) is available on part LPC11U37HFBD64/401 only.
6.2 Introduction
The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) is an integral part of the Cortex-M0. The
tight coupling to the CPU allows for low interrupt latency and efficient processing of late
arriving interrupts.
6.3 Features
•
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller that is an integral part of the ARM Cortex-M0
•
Tightly coupled interrupt controller provides low interrupt latency
•
Controls system exceptions and peripheral interrupts
•
The NVIC supports 32 vectored interrupts
•
4 programmable interrupt priority levels with hardware priority level masking
•
Software interrupt generation
•
Support for NMI
6.4 Interrupt sources
lists the interrupt sources for each peripheral function. Each peripheral device
may have one or more interrupt lines to the Vectored Interrupt Controller. Each line may
represent more than one interrupt source. There is no significance or priority about what
line is connected where, except for certain standards from ARM.
See
for the NVIC register bit descriptions.
