14.2OPEN-DRAIN OPERATION

A port pin can be configured to operate as an inverting open-drain output buffer. To do this, the CPU must clear the bit in the data output register (PxDOUT) and then use the port direction register (PxDIR) to set the value of the port pin. With the direction register bit set (direction = out), the value zero is forced on the pin. With the direction register bit clear (direction = in), the pin is placed in the TRI-STATE mode. If desired, the internal weak pull-up can be enabled to pull the signal high when the output buffer is in TRI- STATE mode.
