12.2 Introduction

Forty-two bidirectional input-output (I/O) pins form five parallel ports. All

I/O pins are programmable as inputs or outputs.

NOTE: Connect any unused I/O pins to an appropriate logic level, either VDD or VSS. Although the I/O ports do not require termination for proper operation, termination reduces excess current consumption and the possibility of electrostatic damage.
