Question 1

What does a non-vectored interrupt require the CPU to do?

Point directly to ISR
Identify the source post-trigger
Ignore the source

💡 Hint: Consider how an ISR is used.

Question 2

Non-vectored interrupts are typically less efficient than vectored interrupts. True or False?

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of shared ISRs.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing a simple thermostat with multiple sensors (temperature, humidity). Explain how you would implement non-vectored interrupts to handle readings from these sensors.

💡 Hint: Think about how to monitor each sensor's status.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the potential impact on system performance when using non-vectored interrupts in a high-frequency data logging application.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the trade-offs between speed and system simplicity.
