IRQPE
IRQ Pin Enable — This read/write control bit enables the IRQ pin function. When this bit is set, the IRQ pin can
be used as an interrupt request. Also, when this bit is set, either an internal pull-up or an internal pull-down
resistor is enabled depending on the state of the IRQMOD bit.
0 IRQ pin function is disabled.
1 IRQ pin function is enabled.
3
IRQF
IRQ Flag — This read-only status bit indicates when an interrupt request event has occurred.
0 No IRQ request.
1 IRQ event detected.
2
IRQACK
IRQ Acknowledge — This write-only bit is used to acknowledge interrupt request events (write 1 to clear IRQF).
Writing 0 has no meaning or effect. Reads always return 0. If edge-and-level detection is selected (IRQMOD = 1),
IRQF cannot be cleared while the IRQ pin remains at its asserted level.
1
IRQIE
IRQ Interrupt Enable — This read/write control bit determines whether IRQ events generate a hardware
interrupt request.
0 Hardware interrupt requests from IRQF disabled (use polling).
1 Hardware interrupt requested whenever IRQF = 1.
0
IRQMOD
IRQ Detection Mode — This read/write control bit selects either edge-only detection or edge-and-level
detection. The IRQEDG control bit determines the polarity of edges and levels that are detected as interrupt
request events. See Section 5.5.2.2, “Edge and Level Sensitivity” for more details.
0 IRQ event on falling edges or rising edges only.
1 IRQ event on falling edges and low levels or on rising edges and high levels.
