15.2 Register Description

15.2.1

EICRA – External Interrupt Control Register A

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 15-1. Edges on INT3:0 are registered asynchronously. Pulses on INT3:0 pins wider than the minimum

pulse width given in Table 15-2 will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an inter-

rupt. 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 interrupt 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 Regis-

ter before the interrupt is re-enabled.

Note:

1. n = 3, 2, 1or 0.

When changing the ISCn1/ISCn0 bits, the interrupt must be disabled by clearing its Interrupt Enable bit in the

EIMSK Register. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the bits are changed.
