I/O PORTS
6.5.1 Output-only Port Operation
Figure 6-4 shows a simplified circuit schematic for port 6. Port 6 has a single configuration and
control register, WG_OUTPUT. Transistor Q1 can source at least –200 µA at VCC–0.3 volts. For
pins P6.0–P6.5, transistor Q2 can sink at least 10 mA at 0.45 volts. For pins P6.6 and P6.7, Q2
can sink at least 200 µA at 0.3 volts.
6.5.2 Configuring Output-only Port Pins
Port 6 has a single configuration register, WG_OUTPUT (Figure 6-5). This register controls the
pin functions, values, and output polarity. This register can be addressed either as a word or a s
separate bytes, and it can be windowed. The functions of this register are different for configuring
general-purpose outputs than for configuring waveform generator and PWM outputs.

This register controls the port 6 pins in I/O mode. I ts functions differ when th e
port 6 pins are being used as waveform genera tor or PWM outputs.
