PIC32MX3XX/4XX
20.0 PARALLEL MASTER PORT
(PMP)
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX3XX/4XX family of
devices. It is not intended to be a compre-
hensive reference source. To comple-
ment the information in this data sheet,
refer to Section 13. “Parallel Master
Port (PMP)” (DS61128) of the “PIC32
Family Reference Manual”, which is
available from the Microchip web site
(www.microchip.com/PIC32).
2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
The PMP is a parallel 8-bit/16-bit input/output module
specifically designed to communicate with a wide
variety of parallel devices, such as communications
peripherals, LCDs, external memory devices and
microcontrollers. Because the interface to parallel
peripherals varies significantly, the PMP module is
highly configurable.
Key features of the PMP module include:
• 8-bit,16-bit interface
• Up to 16 programmable address lines
• Up to two 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
• Parallel Slave Port support
- Legacy addressable
- Address support
- 4-byte deep auto-incrementing buffer
• Programmable Wait states
• Operate during CPU Sleep and Idle modes
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET and INV
registers
• Freeze option for in-circuit debugging
Note: On 64-pin devices, data pins PMD<15:8>
are not available.
