Edge Port Module (EPORT)
11.1 Introduction
The edge port module (EPORT) has seven external interrupt pins, IRQ7–IRQ1. Each pin
can be configured individually as a level-sensitive interrupt pin, an edge-detecting interrupt
pin (rising edge, falling edge, or both), or a general-purpose input/output (I/O) pin. See
Figure 11-1.

11.2 Low-Power Mode Operation
This section describes the operation of the EPORT module in low-power modes. For more
information on low-power modes, see Chapter 7, "Power Management." Table 11-1 shows
EPORT module operation in low-power modes, and describes how this module may exit
from each mode.
