IE
Meaning:
Enable the INT pin.
Mode: Peripheral
and
Host
The CPU sets this bit to activate the INT output pin. The characteristics of the INT output pin are
determined by the INTLEVEL, POSINT and PULSEWID[1:0] bits (page
).
The CPU clears this bit to disable the INT output pin.
Programming Notes
When IE = 0, the state of the INT pin is inactive (open for level mode, high for negative edge,
low for positive edge).
The internal IRQ bits operate independent of the state of the IE bit. The IE bit only controls
activation of the INT output pin.
