11.3 PORTB, TRISB and
LATB Registers
PORTB is an eight-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISB and LATB. All pins on PORTB are digital only.

Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) have an
interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as
inputs can cause this interrupt to occur. Any RB<7:4>
pins that are configured as outputs are excluded from
the interrupt-on-change comparison.
Comparisons with the input pins (of RB<7:4>) are
made with the old value latched on the last read of
PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB<7:4> are ORed
together to generate the RB Port Change Interrupt with
Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from
power-managed modes. To clear the interrupt in the
Interrupt Service Routine:
1. Perform any read or write of PORTB (except
with the MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).
2. Wait one instruction cycle (such as executing a
NOP instruction).
This ends the mismatch condition.
3. Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared after a one TCY delay.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
The RB<3:2> pins are multiplexed as CTMU edge
inputs. RB5 has an additional function for Timer3 and
Timer1. It can be configured for Timer3 clock input or
Timer1 external clock gate input.
