PIC18FXX2
9.5 PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
This section is only applicable to the PIC18F4X2
devices.
PORTE is a 3-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding 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
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTE.
PORTE has three pins (RE0/RD
/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6
and RE2/CS
/AN7) which are individually configurable
as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger
input buffers.
Register 9-1 shows the TRISE register, which also
controls the parallel slave port operation.
PORTE pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. When
selected as an analog input, these pins will read as '0's.
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
