Interrupt Operations
Introduction
5.1 Polling VS interrupt
Multiple interrupts
• If the processor gets multiple interrupts, then
we need to deal these interrupts one at a time
and the dealing approaches are:
• Sequential processing of interrupts
• Priority wise processing of interrupts / Nested
processing of interrupts

5.4.1 Interrupt Pins and Priorities (Hardware
interrupts)
5.4.2 Using priority interrupt controller (PIC)

• Priority interrupt controller (PIC)


• The INTR pin can be used for multiple peripherals
and to determine priorities among these devices
when two or more peripherals request interrupt
service simultaneously, PIC is used.
• If there are simultaneous requests, the priorities
are determined by the encoder, it responds to the
higher level input, ignoring the lower level input.
• 8259A can be used.

5.5. Interrupt processing in 8086
Interrupt vector table and its organization
• Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) is a 1024 bytes sized table that contains
addresses of interrupts.
• Each address is of 4 bytes long of the form offset: segment, which
represents the address of a routine to be called when the CPU receives
an interrupt.
• IVT can hold maximum of 256 addresses (0 to 255).
• The interrupt number is used as an index into the table to get the
address of the interrupt service routine.
• IVT act as pointers, unlike function call IVT need number as an
argument then as a result IVT point us to interrupt service routine (ISR).
• ISR executes its code, when ISR finished then returns back to original
statement.
