#REDIRECT [[Interrupt]]
In [[computing]], an '''edge-triggered interrupt''' is a class of [[interrupt]]s that are triggered only on the rising edge of the assertion of the [[interrupt request]] line. These types of interrupts can typically only identify the presence of an interrupt request. When another interrupt is generated an edge triggered interrupt will not be able to distinguish it since the line is already asserted. Compare [[level triggered interrupt]].
