7.2.4Bidirectional Port Considerations

This section outlines special considerations for using the pins of these ports.

Port 1

After reset, your software must configure the device to match the

 

 

external system. This is accomplished by writing appropriate config-

 

 

uration data into P1_MODE. Writing to P1_MODE not only

 

 

configures the pins but also turns off the transistor that weakly holds

 

 

the pins high (Q4 in Figure 7-1 on page 7-5). For this reason, even if

 

 

port 1 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write

 

 

data into P1_MODE.

Port 2

After reset, your software must configure the device to match the

 

 

external system. This is accomplished by writing appropriate config-

 

 

uration data into P2_MODE. Writing to P2_MODE not only

 

 

configures the pins but also turns off the transistor that weakly holds

 

 

the pins high (Q4 in Figure 7-1 on page 7-5). For this reason, even if

 

 

port 2 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write

 

 

data into P2_MODE.

P2.2/EXTINT0

Writing to P2_MODE.2 sets the EXTINT0 interrupt pending bit

 

 

(INT_PEND.3). After configuring the port pins, clear the interrupt

 

 

pending registers before globally enabling interrupts. See “Design

 

 

Considerations for External Interrupt Inputs” on page 7-11.

P2.4/EXTINT1

Writing to P2_MODE.4 sets the EXTINT1 interrupt pending bit

 

 

(INT_PEND.4). After configuring the port pins, clear the interrupt

 

 

pending registers before globally enabling interrupts. See “Design

 

 

Considerations for External Interrupt Inputs” on page 7-11.

P2.5/HOLD#

If P2.5 is configured as a standard I/O port pin, the device does not

 

 

recognize signals on this pin as HOLD#. Instead, the bus controller

 

 

receives an internal HOLD signal. This enables the device to access

 

 

the external bus while it is performing I/O at P2.5.
