An interface controller is a device or module that controls and configures the interface of a processor system to a network or other interconnection. There are many different types of interfaces in electronic systems. Controllers typically configure, maintain current status, handle faults, and provide the implementation of the algorithm to transfer data successfully to and from the Interface. This may also include generating interrupt events to signal the processor when things relating to the interface have occurred.
