6.1.1.2.2 Port 0 Circuitry
Port 0, in contrast to ports 1 to 5 and 7, is considered as "true" bidirectional, because the port 0 pins
float when configured as inputs. Thus, this port differs in not having internal pullups. The pullup FET
in the P0 output driver (see figure 6-5) is used only when the port is emitting 1 s during the external
memory accesses. Otherwise, the pullup is always off. Consequently, P0 lines that are used as
output port lines are open drain lines. Writing a "1" to the port latch leaves both output FETs off and
the pin floats. In that condition it can be used as high-impedance input. If port 0 is configured as
general I/O port and has to emit logic high-level (1), external pullups are required.
