PIC24FV16KM204 FAMILY
11.0 I/O PORTS
All of the device pins (except V
DD
and V
SS
) are shared
between the peripherals and the parallel I/O ports. All
I/O input ports feature Schmitt Trigger inputs for
improved noise immunity.
11.1
Parallel I/O (PIO) Ports
A Parallel I/O port that shares a pin with a peripheral is,
in general, subservient to the peripheral. The peripheral’s
output buffer data and control signals are provided to a
pair of multiplexers. The multiplexers select whether the
peripheral or the associated port has ownership of the
output data and control signals of the I/O pin. The logic
also prevents “loop through”, in which a port’s digital
output can drive the input of a peripheral that shares the
same pin.
illustrates how ports are shared
with other peripherals and the associated I/O pin to which
they are connected.
When a peripheral is enabled and the peripheral is
actively driving an associated pin, the use of the pin as
a general purpose output pin is disabled. The I/O pin
may be read, but the output driver for the parallel port
bit will be disabled. If a peripheral is enabled, but the
peripheral is not actively driving a pin, that pin may be
driven by a port.
All port pins have three registers directly associated
with their operation as digital I/O. The Data Direction
register (TRISx) determines whether the pin is an input
or an output. If the data direction bit is a ‘
1
’, then the pin
is an input. All port pins are defined as inputs after a
Reset. Reads from the Data Latch register (LAT), read
the latch. Writes to the latch, write the latch. Reads
from the port (PORT), read the port pins; writes to the
port pins, write the latch.
Any bit and its associated data and control registers
that are not valid for a particular device will be
disabled. That means the corresponding LATx and
TRISx registers, and the port pin will read as zeros.
When a pin is shared with another peripheral or
function that is defined as an input only, it is
nevertheless regarded as a dedicated port because
there is no other competing source of outputs.
