The IRQ pin, when enabled, defaults to use an internal pull device (IRQPDD = 0), configured as a pullup
or pulldown depending on the polarity chosen. If the user desires to use an external pullup or pulldown,
the IRQPDD can be written to a 1 to turn off the internal device.
BIH and BIL instructions may be used to detect the level on the IRQ pin when the pin is configured to act
as the IRQ input.
NOTE
This pin does not contain a clamp diode to V
DD
and must not be driven
above V
DD
.
NOTE
The voltage measured on the internally pulled up IRQ pin will not be pulled
to V
DD
. The internal gates connected to this pin are pulled to V
DD
. The IRQ
pullup must not be used to pullup components external to the MCU.
5.5.2.2 Edge and Level Sensitivity
The IRQMOD control bit reconfigures the detection logic so it detects edge events and pin levels. In the
edge and level detection mode, the IRQF status flag becomes set when an edge is detected (when the IRQ
pin changes from the deasserted to the asserted level), but the flag is continuously set (and cannot be
cleared) as long as the IRQ pin remains at the asserted level.
5.5.3 Interrupt Vectors, Sources, and Local Masks
Table 5-2 provides a summary of all interrupt sources. Higher-priority sources are located toward the
bottom of the table. The high-order byte of the address for the interrupt service routine is located at the
first address in the vector address column, and the low-order byte of the address for the interrupt service
routine is located at the next higher address.
When an interrupt condition occurs, an associated flag bit becomes set. If the associated local interrupt
enable is 1, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU. Within the CPU, if the global interrupt mask (I bit in
the CCR) is 0, the CPU will finish the current instruction; stack the PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR CPU
registers; set the I bit; and then fetch the interrupt vector for the highest priority pending interrupt.
Processing then continues in the interrupt service routine.
