ST90158 - INTERRUPTS
4.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
The standard ST9 core contains 8 external inter-
rupts sources grouped into four pairs.
Table 10. External Interrupt Channel Grouping
Each source has a trigger control bit TEA0,..TED1
(R242,EITR.0,..,7 Page 0) to select triggering on
the rising or falling edge of the external pin. If the
Trigger control bit is set to “1”, the corresponding
pending bit IPA0,..,IPD1 (R243,EIPR.0,..,7 Page
0) is set on the input pin rising edge, if it is cleared,
the pending bit is set on the falling edge of the in-
put pin. Each source can be individually masked
through
the
corresponding
IMA0,..,IMD1 (EIMR.7,..,0). See
Figure 26
.
The priority level of the external interrupt sources
can be programmed among the eight priority lev-
els with the control register EIPLR (R245). The pri-
ority level of each pair is software defined using
the bits PRL2, PRL1. For each pair, the even
channel (A0,B0,C0,D0) of the group has the even
priority level and the odd channel (A1,B1,C1,D1)
has the odd (lower) priority level.

rupt control bits and vectors.
– The source of the interrupt channel A0 can be
selected between the external pin INT0 (when
IA0S = “1”, the reset value) or the On-chip Timer/
Watchdog peripheral (when IA0S = “0”).
– The source of the interrupt channel B0 can be
selected between the external pin INT2 (when
(SPEN,BMS)=(0,0)) or the on-chip SPI peripher-
al.
– The source of the interrupt channel C0 can be
selected between the external pin INT4 (when
INTS = “1”) or the on-chip Standard Timer.
– The source of the interrupt channel D0 can be
selected between the external pin INT6 (when
INT_SEL = “0”) or the on-chip RCCU.
Warning:
When using channels shared by both
external interrupts and peripherals, special care
must be taken to configure their control registers
for both peripherals and interrupts.
