1.6.11 OUTPUT LATCH REGISTER (OLAT)
The OLAT register provides access to the output
latches. A read from this register results in a read of the
OLAT and not the port itself. A write to this register
modifies the output latches that modifies the pins
configured as outputs.
REGISTER 1-11: OLAT – OUTPUT LATCH REGISTER 0 (ADDR 0x0A)

bit 7 bit 0
Legend:
R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 7-0 OL7:OL0: These bits reflect the logic level on the output latch <7:0>
1 = Logic-high.
0 = Logic-low.
