10.6 INTx Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the INT0, INT1 and INT2 pins are
edge-triggered. If the corresponding INTEDGx bit in the
INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the interrupt is triggered
by a rising edge. If the bit is clear, the trigger is on the
falling edge.
When a valid edge appears on the INTx pin, the corre-
sponding flag bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can be
disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,
INTxIE. Before re-enabling the interrupt, the flag bit,
INTxIF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-
up the processor from the Idle or Sleep modes if bit,
INTxIE, was set prior to going into those modes. If the
Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor
will branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by
the value contained in the Interrupt Priority bits,
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>).
There is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is
always a high-priority interrupt source.
10.7 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow
(FFh  00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit,
TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh 0000h)
in the TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit,
TMR0IF. The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>).
Interrupt priority for Timer0 is determined by the value
contained in the interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP
(INTCON2<2>). See Section 12.0 “Timer0 Module”
for further details.
10.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
10.9 Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 6.1.3
“Fast Register Stack”), the user may need to save the
WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry to the
Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the user’s
application, other registers may also need to be saved.
Example 10-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.
