Chapter 9
Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC)
This chapter describes the programmable interrupt controller (PIC) interrupt protocol, various types of
interrupt sources controlled by the PIC, and the PIC registers with some programming guidelines.
9.1
Introduction
The PIC conforms to the OpenPIC architecture. The interrupt controller provides multiprocessor interrupt
management, and is responsible for receiving hardware-generated interrupts from different sources (both
internal and external), prioritizing them, and delivering them to a CPU for servicing.
9.1.1
Overview
Figure 9-1
is a block diagram showing the relationship of the various functional blocks and how the signals
external to the PIC are connected to other blocks on the device, including the cores.
