PIC16F526
6.0 I/O PORT
6.2 PORTC
As with any other register, the I/O register(s) can be
written and read under program control. However, read
instructions (e.g., MOVF PORTB,W) always read the I/O
pins independent of the pin’s Input/Output modes. On
Reset, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs are at high-
impedance) since the I/O control registers are all set.
6.1 PORTB
PORTB is a 6-bit I/O register. Only the low-order 6 bits
are used (RB<5:0>). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as ‘0’s. Please note that RB3 is an input-only
pin. The Configuration Word can set several I/O’s to
alternate functions. When acting as alternate functions,
the pins will read as ‘0’ during a port read. Pins RB0,
RB1, RB3 and RB4 can be configured with weak pull-
ups and also for wake-up on change. The wake-up on
change and weak pull-up functions are not pin
selectable. If RB3/MCLR is configured as MCLR, weak
pull-up is always on and wake-up on change for this pin
is not enabled.
PORTC is a 6-bit I/O register. Only the low-order 6 bits
are used (RC<5:0>). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as ‘0’s.
6.3 TRIS Register
The Output Driver Control register is loaded with the
contents of the W register by executing the TRIS f
instruction. A ‘1’ from a TRIS register bit puts the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance
mode. A ‘0’ puts the contents of the output data latch
on the selected pins, enabling the output buffer. The
exceptions are RB3, which is input-only and the T0CKI
pin, which may be controlled by the OPTION register.
See Register 4-2.
TRIS registers are “write-only”. Active bits in these
registers are set (output drivers disabled) upon Reset.
