2.0 REGISTER DESCRIPTION

2.1 GPIO State Register 1 (GSR1) - Read-Only

The status of P7 - P0 can be read via this register. A read will show the current state of these pins (or the

inverted state of these pins if enabled via the PIR Register). Reading this register will clear an input interrupt

(see Table 3 for complete details). Reading this register will also return the last value written to the OCR

since the output pin can be in three-state mode). A write to this register has no effect. The MSB of this register

corresponds with P7 and the LSB of this register corresponds with P0.

2.2 GPIO State Register 2 (GSR2) - Read-Only

The status of P15 - P8 can be read via this register. A read will show the current state of these pins (or the

inverted state of these pins if enabled via the PIR Register). Reading this register will clear an input interrupt

(see Table 3 for complete details). Reading this register will also return the last value written to the OCR

since the output pin can be in three-state mode). A write to this register has no effect. The MSB of this register

corresponds with P15 and the LSB of this register corresponds with P8.

2.3 Output Control Register 1 (OCR1) - Read/Write

When P7 - P0 are defined as outputs, they can be controlled by writing to this register. Reading this register

will return the last value written to it, however, this value may not be the actual state of the output pin since

these pins can be in three-state mode. The MSB of this register corresponds with P7 and the LSB of this

2.4 Output Control Register 2 (OCR2) - Read/Write

When P15 - P8 are defined as outputs, they can be controlled by writing to this register. Reading this register

will return the last value written to it, however, this value may not be the actual state of the output pin since

these pins can be in three-state mode. The MSB of this register corresponds with P15 and the LSB of this

2.5 Input Polarity Inversion Register 1 (PIR1) - Read/Write

When P7 - P0 are defined as inputs, this register inverts the polarity of the input value read from the Input Port

inverted value of the input pin. If the corresponding bit in this register is set to â0â, the value of this bit in the

GSR Register will be the actual value of the input pin. The MSB of this register corresponds with P7 and the

LSB of this register corresponds with P0.

2.6 Input Polarity Inversion Register 2 (PIR2) - Read/Write

When P15 - P8 are defined as inputs, this register inverts the polarity of the input value read from the Input Port

inverted value of the input pin. If the corresponding bit in this register is set to â0â, the value of this bit in the

GSR Register will be the actual value of the input pin. The MSB of this register corresponds with P15 and the

LSB of this register corresponds with P8.

2.7 GPIO Configuration Register 1 (GCR1) - Read/Write

This register configures the GPIOs as inputs or outputs. After power-up and reset, the GPIOs are inputs.

Setting these bits to â0â will enable the GPIOs as outputs. Setting these bits to â1â will enable the GPIOs as

inputs. The MSB of this register corresponds with P7 and the LSB of this register corresponds with P0.

2.8 GPIO Configuration Register 2 (GCR2) - Read/Write

This register configures the GPIOs as inputs or outputs. After power-up and reset, the GPIOs are inputs.

Setting these bits to â0â will enable the GPIOs as outputs. Setting these bits to â1â will enable the GPIOs as

inputs. The MSB of this register corresponds with P15 and the LSB of this register corresponds with P8.
