Level triggered interrupt is an indication that a device needs attention. As long as it needs attention, the line is asserted. Edge triggered interrupt is an event notification. When some particular thing happens, the device generates an active edge on the interrupt line.
What are the level triggering interrupts in 8085?
INTR, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5 are maskable interrupts in 8085 microprocessor. Non-Maskable Interrupts are those which cannot be disabled or ignored by microprocessor. TRAP is a non-maskable interrupt. It consists of both level as well as edge triggering and is used in critical power failure conditions.
What is level trigger?
Level triggering allows you to trigger measurements at some defined point on the input signal, such as when the signal crosses zero volts or when it reaches the midpoint of its positive or negative peak amplitude.
