3.3 Interrupts
The MRF24J40 has one interrupt (INT) pin 16 that
signals one of eight interrupt events to the host micro-
controller. The interrupt structure is shown in
Figure 3-1. Interrupts are enabled via the INTCON
(0x32) register. Interrupt flags are located in the
INTSTAT (0x31) register. The INTSTAT register
clears-to-zero upon read. Therefore, the host micro-
controller should read and store the INTSTAT register
and check the bits to determine which interrupt

occurred. The INT pin will continue to signal an
interrupt until the INTSTAT register is read. The edge
polarity of the INT pin is configured via the INTEDGE
bit in the SLPCON0 (0x211<1>) register.
Note:
The INTEDGE polarity defaults to:
0 = Falling Edge. Ensure that the interrupt
polarity matches the interrupt pin polarity
of the host microcontroller.
