Bit Manipulation in a Register Containing a Write-Only Bit
Example 3: When a BCLR instruction is executed on PCR3 of port 3
In this example, the port 3 control register PCR3 is accessed by a BCLR instruction.
As in the examples above, P3₇ and P3₆ are input pins, with a low-level signal input at P3₇ and a
high-level signal at P3₆. The remaining pins, P3₅ to P3₀, are output pins that output low-level
signals. In this example, the BCLR instruction is used to change pin P3₀ to an input port. It is
assumed that a high-level signal will be input to this input pin.

[D: Explanation of how BCLR operates]
When the BCLR instruction is executed, first the CPU reads PCR3. Since PCR3 is a write-only
register, the CPU reads a value of H'FF, even though the PCR3 value is actually H'3F.
Next, the CPU clears bit 0 in the read data to 0, changing the data to H'FE. Finally, this value
(H'FE) is written to PCR3 and BCLR instruction execution ends.
