The document discusses interrupts in microprocessors using the 8085 as an example. It defines interrupts as asynchronous signals from external devices that cause the microprocessor to suspend its current program and service the interrupt. Interrupts can be classified as maskable or non-maskable, and vectored or non-vectored. The 8085 has one non-maskable interrupt (TRAP) and four maskable interrupts - INTR, RST 5.5, RST 6.5, and RST 7.5. Maskable interrupts can be enabled or disabled using instructions while non-maskable interrupts always have priority. The document explains the interrupt handling process and priorities on the 8085 in detail.
