Port 2 (A8–A15), I/O. Port 2 is a bidirectional I/O port. The reset condition of 
Port 2 is logic high. In this state, a weak pullup holds the port high. This condition 
also serves as an input mode, since any external circuit that writes to the port will 
overcome the weak pullup. When software writes a 0 to any port pin, the device 
will activate a strong pulldown that remains on until either a 1 is written or a reset 
occurs. Writing a 1 after the port has been at 0 will cause a strong transition driver 
to turn on, followed by a weaker sustaining pullup. Once the momentary strong 
driver turns off, the port again becomes both the output high and input state. As an 
alternate function Port 2 can function as MSB of the external address bus. This 
bus can be used to read external ROM and read/write external RAM memory or 
peripherals.

Port 3, I/O. Port 3 functions as both an 8-bit, bi-directional I/O port and an 
alternate functional interface for external interrupts, Serial Port 0, Timer 0 and 1 
Inputs, and RD and WR strobes. The reset condition of Port 3 is with all bits at a 
logic 1. In this state, a weak pullup holds the port high. This condition also serves 
as an input mode, since any external circuit that writes to the port will overcome 
the weak pullup. When software writes a 0 to any port pin, the device will activate 
a strong pulldown that remains on until either a 1 is written or a reset occurs. 
Writing a 1 after the port has been at 0 will cause a strong transition driver to turn 
on, followed by a weaker sustaining pullup. Once the momentary strong driver 
turns off, the port again becomes both the output high and input state. The 
alternate modes of Port 3 are outlined below.

Timekeeping Crystals. A 32.768kHz crystal between these pins supplies the time 
base for the RTC. The devices support both 6pF and 12.5pF load capacitance 
crystals as selected by an SFR bit (described later). To prevent noise from 
affecting the RTC, the RTCX2 and RTCX1 pins should be guard-ringed with 
GND2.

with future devices in the family.
