Notes on Rewriting Port Mode Registers

When a port mode register is rewritten to switch the functions of external interrupt pins, the
following points should be observed.
When an external interrupt pin function is switched by rewriting the port mode register that
controls pins IRQ to IRQ

switched, even if no valid interrupt is input at the pin. Table 3.5 shows the conditions under which
interrupt request flags are set to 1 in this way.

Figure 3.7 shows the procedure for setting a bit in a port mode register and clearing the interrupt
request flag.
When switching a pin function, mask the interrupt before setting the bit in the port mode register.
After accessing the port mode register, execute at least one instruction (e.g., NOP), then clear the
interrupt request flag from 1 to 0. If the instruction to clear the flag is executed immediately after
the port mode register access without executing an intervening instruction, the flag will not be
cleared.
An alternative method is to avoid the setting of interrupt request flags when pin functions are
switched by keeping the pins at the high level so that the conditions in table 3.5 do not occur.

Conditions
When PMR1 bit IRQ3 is changed from 0 to 1 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG3 = 0.
When PMR1 bit IRQ3 is changed from 1 to 0 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG3 = 1.
When PMR1 bit IRQ2 is changed from 0 to 1 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG2 = 0.
When PMR1 bit IRQ2 is changed from 1 to 0 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG2 = 1.
When PMR1 bit IRQ1 is changed from 0 to 1 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG1 = 0.
When PMR1 bit IRQ1 is changed from 1 to 0 while pin IRQ
IEGR bit IEG1 = 1.
