I/O PORTS

The PIC17C4X devices have five I/O ports, PORTA

through PORTE. PORTB through PORTE have a corre-

sponding Data Direction Register (DDR), which is used

to conﬁgure the port pins as inputs or outputs. These

ﬁve ports are made up of 33 I/O pins. Some of these

ports pins are multiplexed with alternate functions.

PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE are multiplexed with the

system bus. These pins are conﬁgured as the system

bus when the device’s conﬁguration bits are selected to

Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller modes. In

the two other microcontroller modes, these pins are

general purpose I/O.

PORTA and PORTB are multiplexed with the peripheral

features of the device. These peripheral features are:

• Timer modules

• Capture module

• PWM module

• USART/SCI module

• External Interrupt pin

When some of these peripheral modules are turned on,

the port pin will automatically conﬁgure to the alternate

function. The modules that do this are:

• PWM module

• USART/SCI module

When a pin is automatically conﬁgured as an output by

a peripheral module, the pins data direction (DDR) bit

is unknown. After disabling the peripheral module, the

user should re-initialize the DDR bit to the desired con-

ﬁguration.

The other peripheral modules (which require an input)

must have their data direction bit conﬁgured appropri-

ately.

Note:

A pin that is a peripheral input, can be con-

ﬁgured as an output (DDRx<y> is cleared).

The peripheral events will be determined

by the action output on the port pin.

PORTA Register

PORTA is a 6-bit wide latch. PORTA does not have a

corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR).

Reading PORTA reads the status of the pins.

The RA1 pin is multiplexed with TMR0 clock input, and

RA4 and RA5 are multiplexed with the USART func-

tions. The control of RA4 and RA5 as outputs is auto-

matically conﬁgured by the USART module.

9.1.1

USING RA2, RA3 AS OUTPUTS

The RA2 and RA3 pins are open drain outputs. To use

the RA2 or the RA3 pin(s) as output(s), simply write to

the PORTA register the desired value. A '0' will cause

the pin to drive low, while a '1' will cause the pin to ﬂoat

(hi-impedance). An external pull-up resistor should be

used to pull the pin high. Writes to PORTA will not affect

the other pins.

Note:

When using the RA2 or RA3 pin(s) as out-

put(s), read-modify-write instructions (such

as BCF, BSF, BTG) on PORTA are not rec-

ommended.

Such operations read the port pins, do the

desired operation, and then write this value

to the data latch. This may inadvertently

cause the RA2 or RA3 pins to switch from

input to output (or vice-versa).

It is recommended to use a shadow regis-

ter for PORTA. Do the bit operations on this

shadow register and then move it to

PORTA.

Note: I/O pins have protection diodes to VDD and VSS.
