8.7 INTn Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the RB0/AN12/INT0, RB1/AN10/
INT1and RB2/AN8/INT2/VMO 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 RBx/INTx pin, the
corresponding flag bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,
INTxIE. Flag bit, INTxIF, must be cleared in software in
the Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling the
interrupt.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-
up the processor from the power-managed modes if bit,
INTxIE, was set prior to going into the power-managed
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.
8.8 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the
TMR0 register (FFh → 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L
register pair (FFFFh → 0000h) will set 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 “Timer2 Module” for further details on
the Timer0 module.
8.9 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>).
8.10 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 5.3
“Data Memory Organization”), 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 8-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.
