INTERRUPT STRUCTURE
INTERRUPT TYPES
The three components of the S3C8 interrupt structure described above — levels, vectors, and sources — are
combined to determine the interrupt structure of an individual device and to make full use of its available
interrupt logic. There are three possible combinations of interrupt structure components, called interrupt types 1,
2, and 3. The types differ in the number of vectors and interrupt sources assigned to each level (see Figure 5-1):
Type 1:
One level (IRQn) + one vector (V
Type 2:
One level (IRQn) + one vector (V
Type 3:
One level (IRQn) + multiple vectors (V
In the S3P80C5/C80C5/C80C8 microcontroller, all three interrupt types are implemented.
