10.4.6.2 Port E Data Register
The settings for the bit positions of the PEDATA register are shown in Table10-27.

PEDATA Port E Data Register 0x(FF)FFF421

Port E is multiplexed with the serial peripheral interface (SPI), UART, and bus con tr ol s ig nal s. These pins
can be programmed as GPIO when the SPI, UART, and bus control features are not used. See Chapter13,
“Serial Peripheral Interface 1 and 2,” and Section2.6, “Bus Control Signals,” on page 2-6 for more
detailed information.
These bits control or report the data on the pins while the associated SELx bits are high. While the DIRx
bits are high (output), the Dx bits control the pins. While the DIRx bits are low (input), the Dx bits report
the signal driving the pins. The Dx bits can be written at any time. Bits that are configured as inputs will
accept the data, but the data written to each cannot be accessed unt il t he cor respond ing pin i s conf igure d as
an output. The actual value on the pin is reported when these bits are read, regardless of whether they are
configured as input or output.
10.4.6.3 Port E Dedicated I/O Functions
The eight PEDATA lines are multiplexed with the SPI and UART dedicated I/O signals whose
assignments are shown in Table10-28.

Bits 7–0 Data—These bits reflect the
status of the I/O signal in an
8-bit system.
0 = Drives the output signal low when DIRx is set to 1 or the
external signal is low when DIRx is set to 0
1 = Drives the output signal high when DIRx is set to 1 or the
external signal is high when DIRx is set to 0
