15.10.1 INT INTERRUPT
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge-triggered,
either rising, if bit INTEDG (OPTION<6>) is set, or fall-
ing, if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge
appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit, INTF
(INTCON<1>), is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing enable bit INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF
must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service
Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT inter-
rupt can wake-up the processor from SLEEP, if bit INTE
was set prior to going into SLEEP. The status of global
interrupt enable bit GIE decides whether or not the
processor branches to the interrupt vector, following
wake-up. See Section 15.13 “Power-down Mode
(SLEEP)” for details on SLEEP mode.
15.10.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
flag bit TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TMR0IE
(INTCON<5>), see Section 6.0 “Timer0 Module”.
15.10.3 PORTB INTCON 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<4>), see
Section 3.2 “EECON1 and EECON2 Registers”.
15.11 Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key reg-
isters during an interrupt (i.e., W, STATUS registers).
Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in
the PIC16F87/88 devices, temporary holding registers
W_TEMP, STATUS_TEMP, and PCLATH_TEMP
should be placed in here. These 16 locations don’t
require banking and therefore, make it easier for con-
text save and restore. The same code shown in
Example 15-1 can be used.
