16-bit I

C-bus and SMBus low power I/O port with interrupt and reset
6.3 I/O port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, which creates a
high-impedance input. 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, Q1 or Q2 is enabled, depending on the state of the
Output port register. In this case, there are low-impedance paths between the I/O pin and
either V
DD
or V
SS
. The external voltage applied to this I/O pin should not exceed the
recommended levels for proper operation.
At power-on reset, all registers return to default values.
