10.6 ENABLING THE EPA INTERRUPTS
The EPA generates four individual event interrupts, EPA3:0, from the four capture/compare chan-
nels and two timer interrupts, OVRTM1 and OVRTM2, from timer 1 and timer 2. These inter-
rupts are directly mapped into the two 8-bit interrupt pending registers (INT_PEND and
INT_PEND1). The four separate capture overrun interrupts from EPA3:0 are multiplexed and
mapped into two bits in INT_PEND1. The capture overrun interrupts from EPA0 and EPA1 are
multiplexed and mapped into OVR0_1 (bit 4) of INT_PEND1; the capture overrun interrupts
from EPA2 and EPA3 are multiplexed and mapped into OVR2_3 (bit 5) of INT_PEND1. To en-
able the interrupts, set the corresponding bits in the the two 8-bit interrupt mask registers
(INT_MASK and INT_MASK1). To enable the individual sources of the capture overrun inter-
rupts OVR0_1 and OVR2_3, set the corresponding bits in the EPA mask register (EPA_MASK).

10.7 DETERMINING EVENT STATUS
In compare mode, an interrupt pending bit is set each time a match occurs on an enabled event
(even if the interrupt is specifically masked in the mask register). In capture mode, an interrupt
pending bit is set each time a programmed event is captured and the event time moves from the
capture buffer to the EPAx_TIME register. If the capture buffer is full when an event occurs, an
overrun interrupt pending bit is set.

pending bit is set each time a programmed event is captured and the event time moves from the
capture buffer to the EPAx_TIME register. If the capture buffer is full when an event occurs, an
overrun interrupt pending bit is set.
Timer overflows and capture overruns also set interrupt pending bits. You can mask the interrupts
by clearing bits in EPA_MASK (Figure 10-11), INT_MASK, and INT_MASK1. If an interrupt
is masked, software can still poll the interrupt pending registers to determine whether an event
has occurred.
