24.0 PARALLEL MASTER PORT
(PMP)
The Parallel Master Port (PMP) module is a parallel
8-bit I/O module, specifically designed to communi-
cate with a wide variety of parallel devices, such as
communication peripherals, LCDs, external memory
devices and microcontrollers. Because the interface
to parallel peripherals varies significantly, the PMP is
highly configurable.
Key features of the PMP module include:
• Fully Multiplexed Address/Data Mode
• Demultiplexed or Partially Multiplexed Address/
Data Mode:
- Up to 11 address lines with single Chip Select
- Up to 12 address lines without Chip Select
• Single Chip Select Line
• Programmable Strobe Options:
- Individual Read and Write Strobes or;
- Read/Write
Strobe with Enable Strobe
• Address Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement
• Programmable Address/Data Multiplexing
• Programmable Polarity on Control Signals
• Legacy Parallel Slave Port Support
• Enhanced Parallel Slave Support:
- Address Support
- 4-Byte Deep Auto-Incrementing Buffer
• Programmable Wait States
• Selectable Input Voltage Levels

Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC24HJ32GP302/304,
PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04 and
PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 families of
devices. It is not intended to be a compre-
hensive reference source. To comple-
ment the information in this data sheet,
refer to Section 35. “Parallel Master
Port (PMP)” (DS70299) of the
