12. External Interrupts

The External Interrupts are triggered by the INT7:0 pin or any of the PCINT12..0 pins. Observe

that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT7:0 or PCINT12..0 pins are configured as

outputs. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt.

The Pin change interrupt PCI0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT7:0 pin toggles. PCMSK0 Regis-

ter control which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. The Pin change interrupt PCI1 will

trigger if any enabled PCINT12:8 pin toggles. PCMSK1 Register control which pins contribute to

the pin change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT12 ..0 are detected asynchronously.

This implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other

than Idle mode.

The External Interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up

as indicated in the specification for the External Interrupt Control Registers – EICRA (INT3:0)

and EICRB (INT7:4). When the external interrupt is enabled and is configured as level triggered,

the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low. Note that recognition of falling or rising

edge interrupts on INT7:4 requires the presence of an I/O clock, described in “System Clock and

Clock Options” on page 25. Low level interrupts and the edge interrupt on INT3:0 are detected

asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from

sleep modes other than Idle mode. The I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except Idle mode.

Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level

must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If

the level disappears before the end of the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no inter-

rupt will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the SUT and CKSEL Fuses as described

in “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 25.

12.0.1

External Interrupt Control Register A – EICRA

The External Interrupt Control Register A contains control bits for interrupt sense control.

• Bits 7..0 – ISC31, ISC30 – ISC00, ISC00: External Interrupt 3 - 0 Sense Control Bits

The External Interrupts 3 - 0 are activated by the external pins INT3:0 if the SREG I-flag and the

corresponding interrupt mask in the EIMSK is set. The level and edges on the external pins that

activate the interrupts are defined in Table 12-1. Edges on INT3..INT0 are registered asynchro-

nously. Pulses on INT3:0 pins wider than the minimum pulse width given in Table 12-2 will

generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level

interrupt is selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing

instruction to generate an interrupt. If enabled, a level triggered interrupt will generate an inter-

rupt request as long as the pin is held low. When changing the ISCn bit, an interrupt can occur.

Therefore, it is recommended to first disable INTn by clearing its Interrupt Enable bit in the

EIMSK Register. Then, the ISCn bit can be changed. Finally, the INTn interrupt flag should be

cleared by writing a logical one to its Interrupt Flag bit (INTFn) in the EIFR Register before the

interrupt is re-enabled.
