PIC18F87J10 FAMILY
10.11 Parallel Slave Port
PORTD can also function as an 8-bit wide Parallel
Slave Port, or microprocessor port, when control bit
PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>) is set. It is asynchronously
readable and writable by the external world through RD
control input pin, RE0/RD and WR control input pin,
RE1/WR.
Note: For 80-pin devices, the Parallel Slave Port
is available only in Microcontroller mode.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-
processor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting
bit PSPMODE enables port pin RE0/RD to be the RD
input, RE1/WR to be the WR input and RE2/CS to be
the CS (Chip Select) input. For this functionality, the
corresponding data direction bits of the TRISE register
(TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as inputs (set).
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detected high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits are both set
when the write ends.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the OBF bit is set. If the user writes new data
to PORTD to set OBF, the data is immediately read out;
however, the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the
PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit
is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to be set
before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action
taken.
The timing for the control signals in Write and Read
modes is shown in Figure 10-3 and Figure 10-4,
respectively.
