PIC32MX330/350/370/430/450/470
20.0 PARALLEL MASTER PORT
(PMP)
The PMP is a parallel 8-bit/16-bit input/output module
specifically designed to communicate with a wide
variety of parallel devices, such as communications
peripherals, LCDs, external memory devices and
microcontrollers. Because the interface to parallel
peripherals varies significantly, the PMP module is
highly configurable.
The following are key features of the PMP module:
• 8-bit,16-bit interface
• Up to 16 programmable address lines
• Up to two Chip Select lines
• Programmable strobe options
- Individual read and write strobes, or
- Read/write strobe with enable strobe
• Address auto-increment/auto-decrement
• Programmable address/data multiplexing
• Programmable polarity on control signals
• Parallel Slave Port support
- Legacy addressable
- Address support
- 4-byte deep auto-incrementing buffer
• Programmable Wait states
• Operate during CPU Sleep and Idle modes
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET and INV
registers
• Freeze option for in-circuit debugging
