An Interrupt Service Routine, or ISR, is a software routine invoked by a hardware device in response to an interrupt.
The ISR receives the interrupt, determines a course of action, and the executes this action.
An ISR must perform quickly to avoid slowing down the operation of the device and the operation of all lower-priority ISRs.
