3.1 Introduction
The system control block includes several system features and control registers for a
number of functions that are not related to specific peripheral devices. These include:
• Reset
• Brown-Out Detection
• External Interrupt Inputs
• Miscellaneous System Controls and Status
Each type of function has its own register(s) if any are required and unneeded bits are
defined as reserved in order to allow future expansion. Unrelated functions never share
the same register addresses
3.2 Pin description
Table 6 shows pins that are associated with System Control block functions.

edge general purpose interrupt input. This pin may be used to wake up
the processor from Sleep, Deep-sleep, or Power-down modes.
EINT1 Input
External Interrupt Input 1 - See the EINT0 description above.
EINT2 Input
External Interrupt Input 2 - See the EINT0 description above.
EINT3 Input
External Interrupt Input 3 - See the EINT0 description above.
