INTn Pin Interrupts
9.8
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 pins are edge triggered: either rising if the
corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in the INTCON2 reg-
ister, or falling if the INTEDGx bit is clear. When a valid
edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding
flag bit, INTxF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxE. Flag bit,
INTxF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Ser-
vice Routine before re-enabling the interrupt. All exter-
nal interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-up the
processor from the power managed modes if bit INTxE
was set prior to going into power managed modes. If
the global interrupt enable bit GIE is set, the processor
will branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
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>).

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 “Fast Register
Stack”), the user may need to save the WREG, Status
and BSR registers on entry to the Interrupt Service Rou-
tine. Depending on the user’s application, other registers
may also need to be saved. Example 9-1 saves and
restores the WREG, Status and BSR registers during an
Interrupt Service Routine.
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.
9.7
TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow
(FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit
TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh → 0000h)
in the TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit TMR0IF.
The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clear-
ing 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 11.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details on
the Timer0 module.
