11.10.1 INT INTERRUPT
11.11 Context Saving During Interrupts
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge triggered,
either rising, if bit INTEDG (OPTION_REG<6>) is set,
or falling, 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 rou-
tine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT interrupt
can wake-up the processor from SLEEP, if bit INTE was
set prior to going into SLEEP. The status of global inter-
rupt enable bit GIE decides whether or not the proces-
sor branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
See Section 11.13 for details on SLEEP mode.
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 register and STATUS
register). This will have to be implemented in software.
Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in
the PIC16F872 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. Example 11-1 can be used to
save and restore context for interrupts.
11.10.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
flag bit T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit T0IE
(INTCON<5>) (Section 5.0).
11.10.3 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>)
(Section 3.2).
