C-bus and SMBus I/O port with interrupt
6.3 Interrupt output
The open-drain interrupt output is activated when one of the port pins change state and
the pin is configured as an input. The interrupt is deactivated when the input returns to its
previous state or the Input Port register is read.
Note that changing an I/O from and output to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur
if the state of the pin does not match the contents of the Input Port register.
6.4 I/O port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, creating a
high-impedance input with a weak pull-up (100 k typ.) to V
DD
. The input voltage may be
raised above V
DD
to a maximum of 5.5 V.
If the I/O is configured as an output, then either Q1 or Q2 is enabled, depending on the
state of the Output Port register. Care should be exercised if an external voltage is applied
to an I/O configured as an output because of the low-impedance paths that exist between
the pin and either V
DD
or V
SS
.
Remark: At power-on reset, all registers return to default values.
