CHAPTER 4 I/O PORTS
4.4.1 Registers of Port 4 (PDR4)

This section describes the registers associated with port 4.

Functions of Port 4 Registers
Port 4 data register (PDR4)
The PDR4 register indicates the state of the pins. For a pin set to function as an output port, the same value
("0"or "1") as held by the output latch can be read from this register. If the pin is set to function as an input
port, however, its output latch value cannot be read from the register.
Note:
When a bit manipulation instruction (SETB, CLRB) is executed, the output latch values, not the value
states of the pins, are read; thus, output latch values, excepting those for bits to be manipulated, do not
change.
Table 4.4-3 lists the functions of the port 4 registers.
