My memory is fuzzy and my google-fu is failing me
I've been working on a design with a number of chips are connecting to a microcontroller using i2c.
A bunch of the chips have open drain interrupts, so it's easy to chain them to the same pin on the MCU, and then query the chips when an interrupt is received...
However, one of the chips has four interrupts which are logic level pins (not open drain); as I recall these can't be simply chained together, as I'd end up with one chip fighting to hold the interrupt high, while the others fight to hold it low, with an eventual release of blue smoke.
There are only a few external interrupt pins; certainly more than I have available interrupt pins.
So what options are available to handle more interrupts than available interrupt pins?
