Figure 1. SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC OF P-PORT I/Os
(1) At power-on reset, all registers return to default values.
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
CC
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
CC
or GND. The external voltage
applied to this I/O pin should not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
