INTCON REGISTER
Note: Interrupt flag bits get set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>). User soft-
ware should ensure the appropriate inter-
rupt flag bits are clear prior to enabling an
interrupt.
The INTCON Register is a readable and writable regis-
ter, which contains various enable and flag bits for the
TMR0 register overflow, RB Port change and External
RB0/INT pin interrupts.
