ATmega328p - ISC00 with INT1?

Question

I was reading about external interrupts using the ATmega328p, and I saw in the chip datasheet under the paragraph "Bits 3:2 – ISC1n: Interrupt Sense Control 1 [n = 1:0]" the following table:

Value | Description 
------+------------------------------------------------------------
00 | The low level of INT1 generates an interrupt request.
01 | Any logical change on INT1 generates an interrupt request.
10 | The falling edge of INT1 generates an interrupt request.
11 | The rising edge of INT1 generates an interrupt request.

From what I understand from the table title and the definition in the datasheet that ISC1n where n=1|0, is dedicated for INT1. And that ISC0n where n=1|0, is dedicated for INT0. However, in the table above, the value 00 is described as "The low level of INT1 generates an interrupt request.".

What I don't understand is how can ISC0n where n=1|0 be dedicated for INT0 but in the table above the value 00 (or ISC00) is used for INT1 ? I could totally be missing something but I would appreciate any guide.

This is correct.

[...] in the table above the value 00 (or ISC00) is used for INT1

This is your misunderstanding. The value "00" in the table does not mean ISC00. The "Value" column of the table is the value you get by concatenating the bits ISC11 and ISC10. Thus:

• "Value = 00" means ISC11 = 0 and ISC10 = 0
• "Value = 01" means ISC11 = 0 and ISC10 = 1
• "Value = 10" means ISC11 = 1 and ISC10 = 0
• "Value = 11" means ISC11 = 1 and ISC10 = 1

• COMP: Ohh I understand it now! Edgar that's an amazing explanation! Thank you so much!

It's a typo. My revision of the datasheet (revision G) properly says "INT0".

• COMP: Thanks for your quick reply!!! Where can I find the newest version of the PDF, Google seems to index the one with the typo first ?
• Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams: The latest revision of any Atmel datasheet is available from Atmel's website. I have confirmed that revision B of the 328/328P datasheet does not have that typo.
• COMP: Cool I'll check on their website. Thank again!
• Nick Gammon: I think this is it: ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A /PA/328/P DATASHEET - revision J.
• Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams: Atmel split the 328/P parts into a separate datasheet recently (for a certain definition of "recently").
