PCI to ISA Bus Interrupt Mapping
The ISA bridge provides the sixteen conventional ISA interrupts, plus four interrupt request
pins for PCI peripheral interrupts (PIRQ0 through PIRQ3). For PC-AT architecture
compatibility reasons, the PCI interrupts are routed to the ISA interrupts within the ISA
bridge. The assertion of a PCI interrupt concludes in an ISA interrupt being asserted. Bit 7
of each PCI interrupt register enables (Low) or disables (High) the routing of the PCI
interrupt to an ISA interrupt. The lowest four bits (3:0) of each PCI interrupt register
determines to which ISA interrupt the PCI interrupt is routed. You can map the PCI
interrupts to the following ISA interrupts: IRQ 5, 10, 11, 15. You can also map to IRQ 3, 4,
7, 12, and 14, but other devices are disabled if you do so.
Each PCI slot has four available interrupt lines: INT A, INT B, INT C, and INT D. These
are connected to the PCI interrupts, PIRQ0 through PIRQ3 as shown below:
