Corpus analysis for Irq

  • In this selection, "irq" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 26.9 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
  • Around the word, bit, causes, request, lines, line and maskable stand out and add context to how "irq" is used.
  • Recognizable usage signals include 1 while irq and nmi and 16 bit irq each. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
  • By corpus frequency, "irq" sits close to words such as aadi, aayush and abbottabad, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

Example types with irq

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

The simultaneous assertion of the NMI and IRQ (maskable) hardware interrupt lines causes IRQ to be ignored. (17 words)

However, ISA motherboards include pull-up resistors on the IRQ lines, so well-behaved devices share ISA interrupts just fine. (20 words)

On the motherboard are also the ROM subsystem, DMA and IRQ controllers, coprocessor socket, sound (PC speaker, tone generation) circuitry, and keyboard interface. (23 words)

It exists only on the stack, where BRK and PHP always write a 1, while IRQ and NMI always write a 0. The "SO" input pin, when asserted, will set the processor's overflow status bit (deasserting it does not clear the overflow bit, however). (45 words)

It is therefore possible to connect up to 6 devices that use one 8-bit IRQ each, or up to 5 devices that use one 16-bit IRQ each. (29 words)

Towards the end of the ISA bus' life, ISA soundcards started taking advantage of IRQ sharing, thus reducing the IRQs needed to one, but still needed two DMA channels. (29 words)

Example sentences (8)

However, if the IRQ line remains asserted after the servicing of the NMI, the processor will immediately respond to IRQ, as IRQ is level sensitive.

It is therefore possible to connect up to 6 devices that use one 8-bit IRQ each, or up to 5 devices that use one 16-bit IRQ each.

The simultaneous assertion of the NMI and IRQ (maskable) hardware interrupt lines causes IRQ to be ignored.

On the motherboard are also the ROM subsystem, DMA and IRQ controllers, coprocessor socket, sound (PC speaker, tone generation) circuitry, and keyboard interface.

The number of hardware interrupts is limited by the number of interrupt request (IRQ) lines to the processor, but there may be hundreds of different software interrupts.

Towards the end of the ISA bus' life, ISA soundcards started taking advantage of IRQ sharing, thus reducing the IRQs needed to one, but still needed two DMA channels.
