6.1.4
Enhanced Interrupt Controller
6.1.4.1
Key Features
• Significant interrupt latency reduction from that of the MPC555.
• Simplified interrupt structure
• Up to 48 different interrupt requests
• Splitting of single external interrupt vector into up to 48 vectors, one for each source
• Automatic lower priority requests masking
• Full backward compatibility with MPC555/MPC556 (enhanced mode is software
programmable.)
6.1.4.2
Interrupt Configuration
An overview of the MPC533 interrupt structure is shown in Figure 6-5. The interrupt
controller receives interrupts from USIU internal sources, such as PIT, RTC, from the
