Question 1

What type of triggering can overlineINT0 be configured for in the TCON register?

  • Level-triggered
  • Edge-triggered
  • Both

💡 Hint: Remember that TCON controls multiple interrupt settings.

Question 2

True or False: The ISR for an external interrupt must always be written in assembly language.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about programming language rules for 8051.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a small program to handle overlineINT0 to turn on an LED every time a button connected to P3.2 is pressed. Provide the code and explain how the interrupt works.

💡 Hint: Focus on defining the ISR and configuring the control registers.

Question 2

Explain how you would handle scenarios where both external interrupts are triggered at the same time. Include considerations for priority management.

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of having two events occur simultaneously.
