L27: Interrupts and exception in microcontrollers for embedded systems

Welcome to Lecture 27 of the course “Embedded C Programming” by Prof. Nitin Chandrachoodan.
Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/course_pages/CS2101.html

Video Overview
This lecture introduces the core concepts of interrupts and exceptions in microcontrollers. Understand how interrupts work, how they differ from exceptions, and why they are essential for responsive and efficient embedded systems. Learn about interrupt service routines (ISRs), interrupt vectors, masking techniques, and prioritization methods. Additionally, explore how these mechanisms enable real-time handling of external events and internal faults, forming the backbone of robust and reliable embedded system design.
