External Interrupt Inputs
The P87LPC767 has two individual interrupt inputs as well as the
Keyboard Interrupt function. The latter is described separately
elsewhere in this section. The two interrupt inputs are identical to
those present on the standard 80C51 microcontroller.
The external sources can be programmed to be level-activated or
transition-activated by setting or clearing bit IT1 or IT0 in Register
TCON. If ITn = 0, external interrupt n is triggered by a detected low
at the INTn pin. If ITn = 1, external interrupt n is edge triggered. In
this mode if successive samples of the INTn pin show a high in one
cycle and a low in the next cycle, interrupt request flag IEn in TCON
is set, causing an interrupt request.
Since the external interrupt pins are sampled once each machine
cycle, an input high or low should hold for at least 6 CPU Clocks to
ensure proper sampling. If the external interrupt is

transition-activated, the external source has to hold the request pin
high for at least one machine cycle, and then hold it low for at least
one machine cycle. This is to ensure that the transition is seen and
that interrupt request flag IEn is set. IEn is automatically cleared by
the CPU when the service routine is called.
If the external interrupt is level-activated, the external source must
hold the request active until the requested interrupt is actually
generated. If the external interrupt is still asserted when the interrupt
service routine is completed another interrupt will be generated. It is
not necessary to clear the interrupt flag IEn when the interrupt is
level sensitive, it simply tracks the input pin level.
If an external interrupt is enabled when the P87LPC767 is put into
Power Down or Idle mode, the interrupt will cause the processor to
wake up and resume operation. Refer to the section on Power
Reduction Modes for details.
