Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a microcontroller system that uses both external and timer interrupts. Explain how you would configure the IE and IP registers to ensure timely responses to both sources.

💡 Hint: Consider how to manage timing and responsiveness.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario where an external interrupt is enabled but a higher priority timer interrupt occurs simultaneously. Detail the precedence of execution based on your understanding of interrupts.

💡 Hint: Think about how the interrupt vectors would handle the situation.
