Abstract
An embodiment of the invention relates to an electronic device for processing interrupt requests. Interrupt requests that have the highest priority level are identified out of a plurality of interrupt requests. A priority word corresponding to a priority level is assigned to each interrupt request. The highest bit level of the bits at the most significant bit position of the priority words is identified. The bit level of the bit at the most significant bit position is compared with the highest bit level at this bit position. The priority words are then evaluated and compared consecutively and bit-by-bit. Priority words having a bit level at the respective bit position that corresponds to the highest bit level are further processed whereas priority words having a different bit level at the respected bit position are discarded.
