19.6.7 Interrupts

The OSC32KCTRL has the following interrupt sources:

  • XOSC32KRDY - 32 kHz Crystal Oscillator Ready: A 0-to-1 transition on the STATUS.XOSC32KRDY bit is detected and XOSC32K ready interrupt request or XOSC32K ready interrupt wake up request are set.
  • XOSC32KFAIL - Clock Failure Detector: A 0-to-1 transition on the STATUS.XOSC32KFAIL bit is detected and XOSC32K clock fail detector interrupt request or XOSC32K clock fail detector interrupt wake up request are set.

Each interrupt source has an interrupt flag associated with it. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register (INTFLAG) is set when the interrupt condition occurs. Each interrupt can be enabled individually by setting the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set register (INTENSET) and disabled by setting the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear register (INTENCLR). 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 OSC32KCTRL is reset. See the INTFLAG register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

The OSC32KCTRL has two interrupt request line each for XOSC32KRDY and XOSC32KFAIL interrupt sources.

Note: Interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests to be generated.
