External Interrupt (IRQ)

Return of the IRQ pin to logic 1 — As long as the IRQ pin is at
logic 0, IRQ remains active.
The vector fetch or software clear and the return of the IRQ pin to logic 1
may occur in any order. The interrupt request remains pending as long
as the IRQ pin is at logic 0. A reset will clear the latch and the MODE
control bit, thereby clearing the interrupt even if the pin stays low.
If the MODE bit is clear, the IRQ pin is falling-edge-sensitive only. With
MODE clear, a vector fetch or software clear immediately clears the IRQ
latch.
The IRQF bit in the INTSCR register can be used to check for pending
interrupts. The IRQF bit is not affected by the IMASK bit, which makes it
useful in applications where polling is preferred.
Use the BIH or BIL instruction to read the logic level on the IRQ1 pin.
NOTE:
The BIH and BIL instructions do not read the logic level on the IRQ2 pin.
NOTE:
When using the level-sensitive interrupt trigger, avoid false interrupts by
masking interrupt requests in the interrupt routine.
The IRQ1 pin has a permanent internal pullup device connected, while
the IRQ2 pin has an optional pullup device that can be enabled or
disabled by the PTBPUE6 bit in the INTSCR2 register.
19.6 IRQ Module During Break Interrupts
The BCFE bit in the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR) enables
software to clear the latch during the break state. (See
Section 23.
Break Module (BRK)
.)
To allow software to clear the IRQ latch during a break interrupt, write a
logic 1 to the BCFE bit. If a latch is cleared during the break state, it
remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect CPU interrupt flags during the break state, write a logic 0 to
the BCFE bit. With BCFE at logic 0 (its default state), writing to the ACK
bit in the IRQ status and control register during the break state has no
effect on the IRQ interrupt flags.
