Interrupts are a major feature of most embedded microcontrollers and effective real time response to interrupts is vital in low power systems that often rely on a ‘run fast then stop’ approach to ...

The sequence of importance assigned to interrupts. If two interrupts occur simultaneously, the interrupt with the higher priority is serviced first. In some systems, a higher-priority interrupt can ...

Whether an embedded system is a handheld Internet device, a telephone switch, or a complex aircraft control setup, the real-time operating system (RTOS) running it must guarantee uninterrupted service ...

As a fully preemptive kernel, SST must ensure that at all times the CPU executes the highest-priority task that's ready to run. Fortunately, only two scenarios can lead to readying a higher-priority ...

What’s the biggest difference between writing code for your big computer and a microcontroller? OK, the memory and limited resources, sure. But we were thinking more about the need to directly ...

This application note presents the RX family of microcontrollers on using multiple interrupts. The document includes the specifications, the operation confirmation conditions, the hardware and ...
