What is PIC?

PIC typically refers to Programmable Interrupt Controller. It is a hardware component that handles interrupt requests from various devices and prioritizes them before forwarding them to the processor. This allows the CPU to handle multiple tasks efficiently without missing important events. PICs are commonly used in embedded systems, computer peripherals, and other applications where real-time response to external events is crucial.
