44.6.6 Interrupts

The DAC Controller has the following interrupt sources:

• DAC0 Data Buffer Empty (EMPTY0): Indicates that the internal data buffer of DAC0 is empty.
• DAC1 Data Buffer Empty (EMPTY1): Indicates that the internal data buffer of DAC1 is empty.
• DAC0 Underrun (UNDERRUN0): Indicates that the internal data buffer of DAC0 is empty and a DAC0 start of conversion event occurred. Refer to Events for details.
• DAC1 Underrun (UNDERRUN1): Indicates that the internal data buffer of DAC1 is empty and a DAC1 start of conversion event occurred. Refer to Events for details.

These interrupts are asynchronous wake-up sources. See Sleep Mode Controller for details.

Each interrupt source has an interrupt flag associated with it. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear (INTFLAG) register is set when the interrupt condition occurs. Each interrupt can be individually enabled by writing a '1' to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set (INTENSET) register, and disabled by writing a '1' to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear (INTENCLR) register.

An interrupt request is generated when the interrupt flag is set and the corresponding interrupt is enabled. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared, the interrupt is disabled, or the DAC Controller is reset. See INTFLAG for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

All interrupt requests from the peripheral are ORed together on system level to generate one combined interrupt request to the NVIC. Refer to Nested Vector Interrupt Controller for details. The user must read the INTFLAG register to determine which interrupt condition is present.

Note that interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests to be generated. Refer to Nested Vector Interrupt Controller for details.
