Interrupt control register
An interrupt control register, or ICR, is a hardware register in a computer chip used to configure the chip to generate interrupts—to raise a signal on an interrupt line—in response to some event occurring within the chip or a circuit connected to the chip.[1][2]
An Interrupt Control is usually used in Micro controllers to generate interrupts signals which tells the CPU to pause its current task and start executing another set of predefined activities.
