4.2 PORTB and the TRISB Register
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= ‘1’) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= ‘0’) will
make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is per-
formed by clearing bit RBPU
(OPTION_REG<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are dis-
abled on a Power-on Reset.

Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an inter-
rupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs
can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the inter-
rupt-on-change comparison). The input pins (of
RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on
the last read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of
RB7:RB4 are ORed together to generate the RB Port
Change Interrupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with soft-
ware configureable pull-ups on these four pins, allow
easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for
wake-up on key depression. Refer to the Embedded
Control Handbook, “Implementing Wake-up on Key
Stroke” (AN552).
RB0/INT is an external interrupt input pin and is config-
ured using the INTEDG bit (OPTION_REG<6>).
RB0/INT is discussed in detail in Section 12.11.1.
