ISER0 to 
ISER1
Interrupt Set-Enable Registers. These 2 registers allow enabling 
interrupts and reading back the interrupt enables for specific 
peripheral functions.
RW 0 ISER0 - 0xE000 E100
ISER1 - 0xE000 E104
ICER0 to 
ICER1
Interrupt Clear-Enable Registers. These 2 registers allow disabling 
interrupts and reading back the interrupt enables for specific 
peripheral functions.
RW 0 ICER0 - 0xE000 E180
ICER1 - 0xE000 E184
ISPR0 to 
ISPR1
Interrupt Set-Pending Registers. These 2 registers allow changing 
the interrupt state to pending and reading back the interrupt 
pending state for specific peripheral functions.
RW 0 ISPR0 - 0xE000 E200
ISPR1 - 0xE000 E204
ICPR0 to 
ICPR1
Interrupt Clear-Pending Registers. These 2 registers allow 
changing the interrupt state to not pending and reading back the 
interrupt pending state for specific peripheral functions.
RW 0 ICPR0 - 0xE000 E280
ICPR1 - 0xE000 E284
IABR0 to 
IABR1
Interrupt Active Bit Registers. These 2 registers allow reading the 
current interrupt active state for specific peripheral functions.
RO 0 IABR0 - 0xE000 E300
IABR1 - 0xE000 E304
IPR0 to 
IPR8
Interrupt Priority Registers. These 9 registers allow assigning a 
priority to each interrupt. Each register contains the 5-bit priority 
fields for 4 interrupts.
RW 0 IPR0 - 0xE000 E400
IPR1 - 0xE000 E404
IPR2 - 0xE000 E408
IPR3 - 0xE000 E40C
IPR4 - 0xE000 E410
IPR5 - 0xE000 E414
IPR6 - 0xE000 E418
IPR7 - 0xE000 E41C
IPR8 - 0xE000 E420
STIR Software Trigger Interrupt Register. This register allows software to 
generate an interrupt.
WO 0 STIR - 0xE000 EF00
