10.6 PORTF, LATF, and TRISF
Registers
PORTF is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding Data Direction register is TRISF. Setting a
TRISF bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTF pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISF bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTF pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Read-modify-write operations on the LATF register,
read and write the latched output value for PORTF.
PORTF is multiplexed with several analog peripheral
functions, including the A/D converter inputs and
comparator inputs, outputs, and voltage reference.
Note 1: On a Power-on Reset, the RF6:RF0 pins
are configured as inputs and read as ‘0’.
2: To configure PORTF as digital I/O, turn off
comparators and set ADCON1 value.
