6.1.2.2 Port 1, Port 3 to Port 5 Circuitry
The pins of ports 1, 3, 4, and 5 are multifunctional. They are port pins and also serve to implement
special features as listed in table 6-1.
Figure 6-4 shows a functional diagram of a port latch with alternate function. To pass the alternate
function to the output pin and vice versa, however, the gate between the latch and driver circuit must
be open. Thus, to use the alternate input or output functions, the corresponding bit latch in the port
SFR has to contain a one (1); otherwise the pulldown FET is on and the port pin is stuck at 0. After
reset all port latches contain ones (1).
