Interrupt Controller Discussion.
Interrupt controllers are widely used in industry for processor based developments and design.

Following blocks from the above diagram are discussed in this section

Interrupt controller
An interrupt controller is an on chip device to manage interrupts from various different  peripheral  devices. These devices are generally connected through a bus sub-system driven by processor or in some cases Bus Master’s on chip.

Interrupt Handlers
Interrupt
An Interrupt is a request to processor to serve service routine from peripherals in an out of turn basics.
Detailed Discussion on Interrupt controller mechanism is discussed in this section. Lets first discuss it with help of a block diagram.
Software subroutines which manages the execution of a program
in response to an interrupt are commonly know as interrupt handlers or Interrupt Service Routines (ISR).

Interrupts are generally implemented with a set of registers for each interrupt source.
