Figure 65. Simplified CMOS Z8 I/O Circuit
The operation of the autolatch circuit is straight-forward. Assume the
input pad is latched at +5V (logic 1). The inverter G1 inverts the bit, turn-
ing the P-channel FET ON and the N-channel FET OFF. The output of the
circuit is effectively shorted to VDD, returning +5V to the input. If the pad
is then disconnected from the +5V source, the autolatch will hold the
input at the previous state. If the device is powered up with the input float-
