Abstract
A multi-function electronic card has a host interface, a multi-functional controller and a plurality of function devices. Each function device is connected to the host via the host interface by issuing an interrupt request to the multi-functional controller. The multi-functional controller has an interrupt queue and an interrupt status register, each bit of the interrupt status register corresponding to a function device. When a function device issues an interrupt request, an identification number of the function device is stored into the interrupt queue, and only when all the bits in the interrupt status register are zeros, a corresponding bit in the interrupt status register is set as 1 for issuing an interrupt request to the host. When the host has serviced the function device, the interrupt queue is updated and the interrupt status register is cleared.
