CHAPTER 6 PORT FUNCTIONS
6.2.9 Port 7
This is a 3-bit input/output port with output latches. Input mode/output mode can be specified bit-wise by means
of port mode register 7 (PM7). When pins P70 to P72 are used as input port pins, an on-chip pull-up resistor can
be used as a 3-bit unit by means of pull-up resistor option register L (PUOL).
Alternate functions include serial interface channel 2 data input/output and clock input/output.
RESET input sets the input mode.
Figures 6-15 and 6-16 show block diagrams of port 7.
Caution When used as a serial interface pin, set the input/output and output latch according to its
functions. For the setting method, refer to Table 19-2 Serial Interface Channel 2 Operating Mode
Settings of List.
