Rising/Falling edge Interrupts and non-maskable interrupt

Started by galapogos December 17, 2006
Hi,
I'm working with an MCU that has 4 interrupts on external PINs, and I
wish to interrupt on an active low input. However, 3 of the interrupts
are active high interrupt while the last one, though it's an active low
interrupt, is also labelled a non-maskable interrupt. I want to be able
to mask the interrupt since I don't want it enabled all the time. Other
than using an inverter, is there a way I can convert an active high to
an active low interrupt?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I found an obscure SFR that controls whether the interrupt is level/edge sensitive, and rising/falling edge. It works now :)
