11. Nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)

11.1 Main features

• 32 maskable interrupt channels (not including the sixteen Cortex ^®-M0+ interrupt lines)
• 4 programmable priority levels (2 bits of interrupt priority are used)
• Low-latency exception and interrupt handling
• Power management control
• Implementation of system control registers

The NVIC and the processor core interface are closely coupled, which enables low-latency interrupt processing and efficient processing of late arriving interrupts.

All interrupts including the core exceptions are managed by the NVIC. For more information on exceptions and NVIC programming, refer to the programming manual PM0223.

11.2 SysTick calibration value register

The SysTick calibration value is set to 6500, which gives a reference time base of 1 ms with the SysTick clock set to 6.5 MHz (max $f_{HCLK}/8$ ).

11.3 Interrupt and exception vectors

Table 45 is the vector table. Information pertaining to a peripheral only applies to devices containing that peripheral.
