INTLEVEL
Meaning:
The INT output pin is level-active.
Location:
PINCTL.3
Set:
The CPU sets this bit to make the INT output pin level sensitive. When
INTLEVEL=1 the output pin is active low, open-drain. When INTLEVEL=1 the
system must include a pullup resistor to VL.
Clear:
The CPU clears this bit to make the INT pin edge active. When INTLEVEL=0,
the edge polarity is set by the POSINT bit (page 54).

Figure 8. INT pin behavior depending on INTLEVEL and POSINT bits.
The waveforms in Figure 8 show the INT pin behavior for different settings of the INTLEVEL
and POSINT (page 54) bits. In level mode (INTLEVEL=1), the INT pin stays low if any
interrupts are pending.
