ST92163 - INTERRUPTS
3.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
The standard ST9 core contains 8 external inter-
rupts sources grouped into four pairs.
INT7 is connected to 8 different I/O pins of Port 3.
Once these pins are programmed as alternate
function they are able to generate an interrupt.
Table 11. External Interrupt Channel Grouping
INT0 .. 6 have 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,..,6 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.6,..,0). See
Figure 27
.
INT7 is falling edge sensitive only, bit EIMR.7 must
always be cleared.
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.

– 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 A1 can be
selected between the external pin INT1 (when
AD-INT=“0”) or the on-chip ADC peripheral
(when AD-INT=“1”, the reset value).
– The source of the interrupt channel D0 can be
selected between the external pin INT6 (when
INT_SEL = “0”) or the on-chip RCCU.
Important:
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.
