An Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) is executed by a microprocessor when an interrupt signal is received, indicating that a specific event requires immediate attention. The microprocessor pauses its current execution, saves the state of the interrupted task, and transfers control to the ISR to handle the interrupt. Once the ISR has completed its task, the microprocessor restores the saved state and resumes execution of the interrupted task. This mechanism allows for efficient handling of asynchronous events in real-time systems.

How 8086 responds to an interrupt?
When the 8086 microprocessor receives an interrupt signal, it completes the execution of the current instruction and saves the address of the next instruction onto the stack. It then determines the appropriate interrupt vector from the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) based on the interrupt type. The processor then transfers control to the interrupt service routine (ISR) associated with that interrupt. After the ISR has executed, the 8086 retrieves the saved address from the stack and resumes execution from where it was interrupted.
A CPU generally handles an interrupt by executing an interrupt service routine?
By checking the interrupt register at fixed time intervals
What is the use of RST?
RSTn(0-7) is software interrupt & RST(7.5,6.5,5.5) are INTEL's 8085 maskable interrupts their priority is respectively 7.5,6.5,5.5.RSTn.5 is hardware intterrupt and it is controlled by the external pin available on the chip of 8085. it is used to interrupt the microprocessor from its normal execution and tends to execute some ISR(interrupt service routine)
What happens when interrupts comes?
Interrupt handler is responsible for following functions:- Determine the interrupt source. Determine the service routine to serve the interrupt source.
What part that holds the programs application data and interrupt service routines when they are being executed?
When programs' application data and interrupt service routines are being executed they are held in a computer's main memory. The largest component of main memory is RAM.
What is the full form of ISR IN Computer system architecture?
full form of the ISR is interrupt service routine.
What is a TrapHandler?
A trap handler, also called an interrupt handler or interrupt service routine (ISR) is a program that executes when predefined events occur in a computer. There are software and hardware interrupts. An interrupt causes the computer's processor to stop running its current task and immediately run the trap handler to service the interrupt.
What is software polling?
When the microprocessor receives an Interrupt Service Request (ISR) on the interrupt line it must determine which of the devices connected to that input sent the request.Software Polling is one method by which it can do so.In Software Polling:A software routine is used to identify the device requesting service. It does so by checking each device to see if it was the one needing service.

What is the auto vectored interrupt?
An auto vectored interrupt is a type of interrupt handling mechanism in computer systems where the interrupting device can provide an automatic vector that points to the appropriate service routine. Rather than requiring the CPU to determine the address of the interrupt service routine (ISR) manually, the hardware generates a specific vector number based on the interrupt source. This allows for faster response times and simplifies the interrupt handling process, as the CPU can directly use the provided vector to locate the ISR. Auto vectored interrupts are commonly used in microcontrollers and embedded systems for efficient interrupt management.
What is mean by interrupt service routine?
It is a routine in a micro controllers program where the program jumps to after receiving a interrupt on the micro's interrupt pin. Because most micro's can only run one programme at a time, one need a way for the micro to stop doing what it's busy with, to service an outside peripheral that need urgent attention. For instance the micro is running a flashing LED, a push button that one want to use to stop the flashing and start to flash another LED is connected to the interrupt pin of the micro then the program save what it was busy with on a stag and immediately start the interrupt routine.
Why used interrupts?
An interrupt is a signal from hardware (h/w interrupt) or software (s/w interrupt) to indicate the occurence of an event. It indicates the need of a change in execution. Interrupt handling or servicing of the interrupts depends upon the design of the operating system. A routine which will be called for servicing the interrupt is known as interrupt service routine or ISR and the request for the ISR through an interrupt is known as interrupt request or IRQ. Interrupt is a mechanism used for implementing the multitasking concept. It will use the concept of context switching, for servicing the request.
