INTERRUPT CONTROL (INTCON)
REGISTER
The INTCON register controls how the associated pin
value is compared for the interrupt-on-change feature.
If a bit is set, the corresponding I/O pin is compared
against the associated bit in the DEFVAL register. If a
bit value is clear, the corresponding I/O pin is compared
against the previous value.

Legend:
R = Readable bit
W = Writable bit
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR
‘1’ = Bit is set
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
x = Bit is unknown
bit 7-0
IOC7:IOC0: These bits control how the associated pin value is compared for interrupt-on-change
<7:0>
1 = Controls how the associated pin value is compared for interrupt-on-change.
0 = Pin value is compared against the previous pin value.
Refer to INTCON and GPINTEN.
