Figure 10-12 shows the port D input logic.

Reading address $0003 reads the voltage level on the pin. Table 10-4 summarizes the operation of the
port D pins.
10.6 Port E
Port E is an 8-bit, special function port that shares five of its pins with the timer interface module (TIM)
and two of its pins with the serial communications interface module (SCI).

10.6.1 Port E Data Register

The port E data register (PTE) contains a data latch for each of the eight port E pins.
PTE[7:0] — Port E Data Bits
PTE[7:0] are read/write, software-programmable bits. Data direction of each port E pin is under the
control of the corresponding bit in data direction register E.
NOTE
Data direction register E (DDRE) does not affect the data direction of port
E pins that are being used by the TIMA or TIMB. However, the DDRE bits
always determine whether reading port E returns the states of the latches
or the states of the pins.
