GPIO Signals and Registers

7.6.2Port Direction Registers (PRRC and PRRD)

The read/write PRRC and PRRD control the data direction of the ESSI0 and ESSI1 GPIO signals when they are enabled by the associated Port Control Register (PCRC or PCRD, respectively). When PRRC[i] or PRRD[i] is set, the corresponding signal is an output (GPO) signal. When PRRC[i] or PRRD[i] is cleared, the corresponding signal is an input (GPI) signal. Either a hardware RESET signal or a software RESET instruction clears all PRRC and PRRD bits.

Note: For bits 5–0, a 0 configures PRxn as a GPI and a 1 configures PRxn as a GPO. For ESSI0, the GPIO signals are PC[5–0]. For ESSI1, the GPIO signals are PD[5–0]. The corresponding direction bits for Port C GPIOs are PRC[5–0]. The corresponding direction bits for Port D GPIOs are PRD[5–0].
