INT2/INTA0

Maskable Interrupt Request 2 (input, asynchronous)

 

 

 

Interrupt Acknowledge 0 (output, synchronous)

 

 

 

INT2—This pin indicates to the microcontroller that an interrupt request

 

 

 

has occurred. If the INT2 pin is not masked, the microcontroller transfers

 

 

 

program execution to the location specified by the INT2 vector in the

 

 

 

microcontroller interrupt vector table.

 

 

 

Interrupt requests are synchronized internally and can be edge-

 

 

 

triggered or level-triggered. To guarantee the interrupt is recognized,

 

 

 

the device issuing the request must continue asserting INT2 until the

 

 

 

request is acknowledged. INT2 becomes

 

when INT0 is

 

 

 

INTA0

 

 

 

configured in Cascade mode.

 

 

 

 

—When the microcontroller interrupt control unit is operating in

 

 

 

INTA0

 

 

 

Cascade mode, this pin indicates to the system that the microcontroller

 

 

 

needs an interrupt type to process the interrupt request on INT0. The

 

 

 

peripheral issuing the interrupt request must provide the microcontroller

 

 

 

with the corresponding interrupt type.

 

 

 

Maskable Interrupt Request 3 (input, asynchronous)

INT3/INTA1/IRQ

 

 

 

Interrupt Acknowledge 1 (output, synchronous)

 

 

 

Slave Interrupt Request (output, synchronous)

 

 

 

INT3—This pin indicates to the microcontroller that an interrupt request

 

 

 

has occurred. If the INT3 pin is not masked, the microcontroller then

 

 

 

transfers program execution to the location specified by the INT3 vector

 

 

 

in the microcontroller interrupt vector table.

 

 

 

Interrupt requests are synchronized internally and can be edge-

 

 

 

triggered or level-triggered. To guarantee the interrupt is recognized,

 

 

 

the device issuing the request must continue asserting INT3 until the

 

 

 

request is acknowledged. INT3 becomes

 

when INT1 is

 

 

 

INTA1

 

 

 

configured in Cascade mode.

 

 

 

 

—When the microcontroller interrupt control unit is operating in

 

 

 

INTA1

 

 

 

Cascade mode, this pin indicates to the system that the microcontroller

 

 

 

needs an interrupt type to process the interrupt request on INT1. The

 

 

 

peripheral issuing the interrupt request must provide the microcontroller

 

 

 

with the corresponding interrupt type.

 

 

 

IRQ—When the microcontroller interrupt control unit is operating as a

 

 

 

slave to an external master interrupt controller, this pin lets the

 

 

 

microcontroller issue an interrupt request to the external master

 

 

 

interrupt controller.

INT4

Maskable Interrupt Request 4 (input, asynchronous)

 

 

 

This pin indicates to the microcontroller that an interrupt request has

 

 

 

occurred. If the INT4 pin is not masked, the microcontroller then

 

 

 

transfers program execution to the location specified by the INT4 vector

 

 

 

in the microcontroller interrupt vector table.

 

 

 

Interrupt requests are synchronized internally and can be edge-

 

 

 

triggered or level-triggered. To guarantee the interrupt is recognized,

 

 

 

the device issuing the request must continue asserting INT4 until the

 

 

 

request is acknowledged.
