The behavior of the interrupt signal is different.

  • Level: The input signal level becomes the IRQ signal level. (The input signal assertion time becomes the IRQ assertion time.)
Article header irq level 1
  • Edge: Continue to assert the IRQ signal when the specified edge is recognized. (until the register is cleared by software)
Article header irq edge 1

If Interrupt is set to Edge, Edge capture register must also be used with ON, otherwise Platform Designer will display an error message.
