* '''Selector:''' A
* '''IST:''' A 3-bit value which is an offset into the '''Interrupt Stack Table''', which is stored in the '''[[Task State Segment]]'''. If the bits are all set to zero, the '''Interrupt Stack Table''' is not used.

=== Interrupt Gate ===
An '''Interrupt Gate''' is used to specify an '''[[Interrupt Service Routines|Interrupt Service Routine]]'''. For example, when the assembly instruction '''INT 50''' is performed while running in protected mode, the CPU looks up the 50th entry (located at 50 * 8) in the '''IDT'''. Then the Interrupt Gate's '''Selector''' and '''Offset''' values are loaded. The '''Selector''' and '''Offset''' are used to call the '''Interrupt Service Routine'''. When the '''IRET''' instruction is performed, the CPU returns from the interrupt. If the CPU was running in 32-bit mode and the specified selector is a 16-bit gate, then the CPU will go in 16-bit
