Note that the interrupt vector table differs from the interrupt priority table in only two ways:
• FCC, SCC, and MCC vectors are fixed; they are not affected by the SCC group mode, spread mode,
or the relative priority order of the FCCs, SCCs, and MCC.
• An error vector exists as the last entry in Table 4-3. The error vector is issued when no interrupt is
requesting service.
4.2.4.1 Port C External Interrupts
There are 16 external interrupts, coming from the parallel I/O port C pins, PC[0–15]. When ones of these
pins is configured as an input, a change according to the SIU external interrupt control register (SIEXR)
causes an interrupt request signal to be sent to the interrupt controller. PC[0–15] lines can be programmed
to assert an interrupt request upon any change. Each port C line asserts a unique interrupt request to the
interrupt pending register and has a different internal interrupt priority level within the interrupt controller.
