3.11.38.6Interrupts

PIRQ#

Interrupts on PCI are optional and defined as "level sensitive," asserted low (negative true), using open drain output drivers. The assertion and deassertion of INTx# is asynchronous to CLK. A device asserts its INTx# line when requesting attention from its device driver. Once the INTx# signal is asserted, it remains asserted until the device driver clears the pending request. When the request is cleared, the device deasserts its INTx# signal. PCI defines one interrupt line for a single function device and up to four interrupt lines for a multi-function7 device or connector. For a single function device, only INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt lines have no meaning. PIRQ# is connected to INTB#
