PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
10.4 PORTC, TRISC and
LATC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port; it is fully
implemented on all devices. The corresponding data
direction register is TRISC. Setting a TRISC bit (= 1)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e.,
put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Only PORTC pins, RC2 through RC7, are digital only
pins and can tolerate input voltages up to 5.5V.
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 10-7). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. RC1 is normally configured by Configuration bit
CCP2MX as the default peripheral pin for the ECCP2
module and enhanced PWM output P2A (default state,
CCP2MX = 1).
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.
Note: These pins are configured as digital inputs
on any device Reset.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.
