Abstract

Provided is a processor system including: an integer core which reads and processes instructions transmitted from a lower level unit through an external bus and performs an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) if an interrupt occurs during a process; a data memory which is directly connected to the integer core through no external bus and stores a GPR (General Purpose Register) and an SPR (Special Purpose Register); and a nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) which is directly connected to the integer core and the data memory through no external bus, performs backup of the GPR and SPR from the integer core if an interrupt occurs during the process, and controls an interrupt operation in a manner that the backup GPR and SPR are transmitted to the data memory. Since the processor system has a structure where the nested vectored interrupt controller and the data memory are directly connected to the integer core, operations necessary during an interrupt process, that is, operations of push of GPR and push of SPR and operations of pop of GPR and pop of SPR are speedily performed, so that it is possible to improve an interrupt process rate.
