Interrupt Service Routine (Isr) : The Operation of An Interrupt Sequence

The document discusses interrupt service routines and how they work. It describes different methods for determining which device is requesting service, including software polling, hardware polling, and hardware identification. It provides an example of using software polling to handle interrupts on a PIC16F84 microcontroller and increment a port on each interrupt.
