7.1.4.2 Port Loading and Interfacing
The output buffers of ports 1 through 5 can drive TTL inputs directly. The maximum port load which
still guarantees correct logic output levels can belooked up in the DC characteristics in the Data
Sheet of the SAB 80(C)515. The corresponding parameters are V_OL and V_OH.
The same applies to port 0 output buffers. They do, however, require external pullups to drive
floating inputs, except when being used as the address/data bus.
When used as inputs it must be noted that the ports 1 through 5 are not floating but have internal
pullup transistors. The driving devices must be capable of sinking a sufficient current if a logic low
level shall be applied to the port pin (the parameters I_TL and I_IL in the DC characteristics specify
these currents). Port 0 as well as the input only ports 6 of the ACMOS versions have floating inputs
when used for digital input.
7.1.4.3 Read-Modify-Write Feature of Ports 0 through 5
Some port-reading instructions read the latch and others read the pin (see figure 7-1). The
instructions reading the latch rather than the pin read a value, possibly change it, and then rewrite
it to the latch. These are called "read-modify-write" instructions, which are listed in table 7-2. lf the
destination is a port or a port bit, these instructions read the latch rather than the pin. Note that all
other instructions which can be used to read a port, exclusively read the port pin. In any case,
reading from latch or pin, resp., is performed by reading the SFR P0 to P5; for example,
"MOV A, P3" reads the value from port 3 pins, while "ANL P4, #0AAH" reads from the latch,
modifies the value and writes it back to the latch.
