Intel™ Programmable Interrupt Controller

Overview

The AL8259 core is the VHDL model of the Intel™ 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller used in Intel microprocessor systems to control and prioritize interrupts. It handles up to eight vectored priority interrupts for the CPU. It is cascadable for up to 64 vectored priority interrupts without additional circuitry.
