Abstract:
An application processor includes: a plurality of interrupt sources to which a plurality of interrupt numbers are respectively assigned; a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to receive an interrupt request signal and an interrupt number signal and perform an interrupt handling process for at least one of the plurality of interrupt sources, the at least one of the plurality of interrupt sources corresponding to the interrupt number signal; and an interrupt controller including a master interface connected to a system bus, the interrupt controller being configured to generate the interrupt request signal and the interrupt number signal based on an interrupt signal, which is received from the at least one of the plurality of interrupt sources, and to transmit the interrupt number signal to the CPU via the master interface.
