8-bit AVR Microcontrollers

Pin Change Interrupt Flag Register

When addressing I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, the provided offset must be used. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the offset is reduced by 0x20, resulting in an I/O address offset within 0x00 - 0x3F.

The device is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 locations reserved in Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

Bit 3 – PCIF3: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 3

Pin Change Interrupt Flag 3

When a logic change on any PCINT[27:24] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF3 will be set. If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE3 bit in PCICR are set, the MCU will jump to the corresponding interrupt vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing '1' to it.

Bit 2 – PCIF2: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 2

Pin Change Interrupt Flag 2

When a logic change on any PCINT[23:16] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF2 will be set. If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE2 bit in PCICR are set, the MCU will jump to the corresponding interrupt vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing '1' to it.

Bit 1 – PCIF1: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 1

Pin Change Interrupt Flag 1

When a logic change on any PCINT[14:8] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF1 will be set. If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE1 bit in PCICR are set, the MCU will jump to the corresponding interrupt vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing '1' to it.

Bit 0 – PCIF0: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 0

Pin Change Interrupt Flag 0

When a logic change on any PCINT[7:0] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF0 will be set. If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE0 bit in PCICR are set, the MCU will jump to the corresponding interrupt vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing '1' to it.
