1.20.7 1.21.8 Enhanced Vectored Interrupt Controller (EVIC)
PIC32M devices generate interrupt requests in response to interrupt events from peripheral modules. The Interrupt Controller module exists outside of the CPU and prioritizes the interrupt events before presenting them to the CPU.
The Interrupt Controller module includes the following features:
-
Up to 213 interrupt sources and vectors with dedicated programmable offsets, eliminating the need for redirection
-
Single and multi-vector mode operations
-
Five external interrupts with edge polarity control
-
Interrupt proximity timer
-
Seven user-selectable priority levels for each vector
-
Four user-selectable sub-priority levels within each priority
-
Seven shadow register sets that can be used for any priority level, eliminating software context switch and reducing interrupt latency
-
Software can generate any interrupt
