General purpose I/O ports (GPIO)

10.1

Introduction

General purpose input/output ports are used for data transfers between the chip and the

external world. An I/O port can contain up to eight pins. Each pin can be individually

programmed as a digital input or digital output. In addition, some ports may have alternate

functions like analog inputs, external interrupts, input/output for on-chip peripherals. Only

one alternate function can be mapped to a pin at a time.

An output data register, input data register, data direction register and two configuration

registers are associated with each port. A particular port will behave as an input or output

depending on the status of the data direction register of the port.

•

Separate registers for data input and output

•

External interrupts can be enabled and disabled individually
