Legend: x = unknown, u = unchanged, - = unimplemented locations read as ‘0’.
Shaded cells are not used by PORTA.
Note: When using the SSP module in SPI Slave mode and SS enabled, the A/D Port Configuration Control bits
(PCFG2:PCFG0) in the A/D Control Register (ADCON1) must be set to one of the following configurations:
100, 101, 11x.
