Abstract: When an interrupt event occurs, an interrupt request signal and interrupt data are output from an arbitrary peripheral module to an interrupt control circuit. The interrupt control circuit stores the received interrupt data in a register and performs a priority determination of the interrupt request signal. Subsequently, the interrupt control circuit transfers the determination result as an interrupt request signal via a dedicated wiring and the interrupt data of the register via a dedicated bus to the CPU, respectively. Upon reception of the interrupt request, the CPU reads a corresponding interrupt processing function from a ROM and performs the processing of the interrupt data based on the input interrupt request signal.
