Port Registers: The I/O ports are controlled by Special Function Registers P0, P1, and P2. The contents of the SFR can be 
observed on corresponding pins on the chip. Writing a ‘1’ to any of the ports (see Table 11) causes the corresponding pin to 
be at high level (V3P3), and writing a ‘0’ causes the corresponding pin to be held at low level (GND). The data direction 
registers DIR0, DIR1, and DIR2 define individual pins as input or output pins (see section On-Chip Resources – DIO Ports for 
details).

R/W  Description 
P0  0x80  R/W  Register for port 0 read and write operations (pins DIO4…DIO7) 
DIR0  0xA2  R/W  Data direction register for port 0. Setting a bit to 1 means that the corresponding pin is 
an output. 
P1  0x90  R/W  Register for port 1 read and write operations (pins DIO8…DIO15) 
DIR1  0x91  R/W  Data direction register for port 1. 
P2 
0xA0  R/W  Register for port 2 read and write operations (pins DIO16-DIO17) 
DIR2  0xA1  R/W  Data direction register for port 2. 
Table 11: Port Registers 
All four ports on the chip are bi-directional. Each of them consists of a Latch (SFR ‘P0’ to ‘P3’), an output driver, and an input 
buffer, therefore the MPU can output or read data through any of these ports. Even if a DIO pin is configured as an output, the 
state of the pin can still be read by the MPU, for example when counting pulses issued via DIO pins that are under CE control. 
Special Function Registers Specific to the 71M6511 
Table 12 shows the location and description of the 71M6511-specific SFRs.

ERASE 
FLSH_ERASE 
0x94 
W 
This register is used to initiate either the Flash Mass Erase cycle or 
the Flash Page Erase cycle. Specific patterns are expected for 
FLSH_ERASE in order to initiate the appropriate Erase cycle (default = 
0x00). 
0x55 – Initiate Flash Page Erase cycle. Must be proceeded by a write 
to FLSH_PGADR @ SFR 0xB7. 
0xAA – Initiate Flash Mass Erase cycle. Must be proceeded by a 
write to FLSH_MEEN @ SFR 0xB2 and the debug port must 
be enabled. 
Any other pattern written to FLSH_ERASE will have no effect. 
PGADDR  FLSH_PGADR  0xB7  R/W 
Flash Page Erase Address register containing the flash memory 
page address (page 0 thru 127) that will be erased during the Page 
Erase cycle (default = 0x00). 
Must be re-written for each new Page Erase cycle. 
EEDATA    0x9E  R/W  I2C EEPROM interface data register 
EECTRL    0x9F  R/W  I2C EEPROM interface control register. If the MPU wishes to write a 
byte of data to EEPROM, it places the data in EEDATA and then 
writes the ‘Transmit’ code to EECTRL. The write to EECTRL initiates 
the transmit sequence. See the section I2C Interface (EEPROM) for 
a description of the command and status bits available for EECTRL.
