I/O

is 0x00 (all inputs). The state of the data registers after RESET low is unknown (input state provided by external hardware).

The 8-bit width is the true size of the mapped location. This is independent of the address spacing, which is greater than 8-bits. When writing to any of the locations in the I/O address map, therefore, the bit-masking need only extend across 8 bits. Within a 16-bit accumulator, the desired bits should be right-justified. When reading from these locations to a 16-bit accumulator, the IN instruction automatically clears the extra bits in excess of 8. The desired bits in the result will be right-justified within the accumulator.

The following table shows the bit locations of the I/O port mapping:

²Ports D4 and D5 may be dedicated to the Comparator function, if the Comparator Enable bit is set. If so, then bits 4 and 5 of the D port Control register must be CLEAR. Please refer to Section 3.3, Comparator, for details.

Port D0 is connected to the branch condition COND1. Port D1 is connected to the branch condition COND2, assuming the comparator is disabled. Please refer to Section 3.1.4, Branch on D Port, (and to Section 3.3, Comparator) for more information. External interrupts can be caused by transitions on ports D2, D3, D4, and D5. The interrupts associated with the D port are supported whether those pins are programmed as inputs or as outputs.
