Objectives
Contra and compare interrupts versus pooling
Explain the purpose of the ISR List all the major interrupts of the PIC18 Explain the purpose of the IVT Enable and disable PIC18 interrupts Program the PIC18 interrupt using assembly language
Interrupt
Whenever any device needs the microcontrollers
service the device notifies it by sending an interrupt signal. Upon receiving an interrupt signal, the microcontroller stops whatever it is doing and serve the device. The program associated with the interrupt is called ISR (interrupt service routine) or interrupt handler. Each device can get the attention of the microcontroller based on the priority assign to it. Can ignore a device request for service
Polling
The microcontroller continuously monitors the status
of a given device; when the status condition met, it performs the service. After that, it moves on to monitor the next device until each one is service. Cannot assign priority because it checks all devices in a round-robin fashion. Cannot ignore a devices for service

Interrupt Vector Table for the PIC18 Fixed Location in Memory
Step in Executing an Interrupt
It finishes the instruction it is executing and saves the address of the next instruction (program counter) on the stack 2. It jumps to a fixed location in memory (interrupt vector table (IVT)). The IVT directs the microcontroller to the address of the ISR 3. The microcontroller gets the address of the ISR from the IVT and jumps to it. It start to execute the interrupt service subroutine until it reaches the last instruction of the subroutine - RETFIE (Return from Interrupt Exit) 4. Upon executing the RETFIE instruction, the microcontroller returns to the place where it was interrupted

Differences Between External Hardware and PORTB-Change Interrupt
External Hardware
This (RB0-RB2) interrupts has its own pin and is independent each other Has it own flag (INTxIF) and independent each other Can be programmed to trigger on the negative or positive edge
PORTB-Change
Use s all four (RB4-RB7) and considered to be a single interrupt even though it can use up to four pins Single flag only (RBIF)
Cause an interrupt either pin changes status from HIGH-LOW or LOW-HIGH

Never interrupt your enemy when he/she is making a mistake
*****Assignment
1) Compare and differentiate the features of the Timer 0, Timer1, and Timer2. 2) Write a program using Timer0 to generate a 1 kHz square wave frequency on PORTB RA5. Assuming XTAL=10kHz 3) Write a program using Timer0 to generate a 1 kHz and a 2 kHz square wave frequency on PORTB RB0 and PORTB RB4 respectively. PORTB RB7 will be used as a switch to select the frequencies. If RB7 = 0, a 1 kHz square wave will be generated and if RB7 = 1, a 2 kHz square wave will be generated.
