dsPIC33EPXXXGM3XX/6XX/7XX
28.0 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:
Eight Data Lines
Up to 16 Programmable Address Lines
Up to 2 Chip Select Lines
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 (PSP) Support
Enhanced Parallel Slave Support:
- Address support
- 4-byte deep auto-incrementing buffer
Programmable Wait States
