Abstract

An interrupt request signal conversion system includes an interrupt request signal converter configured to generate one or more converted interrupt request signals based on one or more signals received from one or more peripheral devices, and a signal output terminal configured to send the one or more converted interrupt request signals to an interface module of a processor during operation. Each of the one or more converted interrupt request signals includes a plurality of interrupt identification bits each used to identify, based on a first level and a second level different from the first level, whether a signal received from a corresponding one of the one or more peripheral devices within a predetermined time range includes a peripheral interrupt request signal.
