23.5.9 Analog Connections
Analog functions are connected directly between the analog blocks and the I/O pads using analog buses.
However, selecting an analog peripheral function for a given pin will disable the corresponding digital
features of the pad.
23.5.10 CPU Local Bus
The CPU local bus (IOBUS) is an interface that connects the CPU directly to the PORT. It is a single-
cycle bus interface, which does not support wait states. It supports 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit sizes.
This bus is generally used for low latency operation. The Data Direction (DIR) and Data Output Value
(OUT) registers can be read, written, set, cleared or be toggled using this bus, and the Data Input Value
(IN) registers can be read.
Since the IOBUS cannot wait for IN register resynchronization, the Control register (CTRL) must be
configured to continuous sampling of all pins that need to be read via the IOBUS in order to prevent stale
data from being read.
Note: Refer to the Product Mapping chapter for the IOBUS address.
