12.5 PORTE Registers
PORTE is a 4-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISE. Setting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e.,
enable the output driver and put the contents of the
output latch on the selected pin). The exception is RE3,
which is input only and its TRIS bit will always read as
‘1’. Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTE register (Register 12-15) reads
the status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to
the PORT latch. All write operations are
read-modify-write operations. Therefore, a write to a
port implies that the port pins are read, this value is
modified and then written to the PORT data latch
(LATE). RE3 reads ‘0’ when MCLRE = 1.
12.5.1 PORTE FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
PORTE has no peripheral outputs, so the PORTE
output has no priority function.
