Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an interrupt control circuit that controls a plurality of interrupt requests for interrupt handling executed by a processor, includes: an interrupt control module unit as a detecting unit determining whether or not there is an interrupt request masked with interrupt handling executed by a processor during the interrupt handling; and an interrupt control circuit including a priority mask flag indicating whether or not there is the interrupt request. With such configuration, it is possible to simply determine whether or not there is another masked interrupt request.
