ABSTRACT

The interrupts on the LF2407 allow the device hardware to trigger the CPU of the LF2407 (CPU=C2xx DSP core) to break from the current task, branch to a new section of code and start a new task, then return back to the initial task. The “new task” referred to in the previous sentence is known as the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). The ISR is simply a separate user-written subroutine, which the core will branch to every time a certain interrupt occurs.
