EM6603
6.3
PortB
The EM6603 has one four bit general purpose I/O port. Each bit PB(0:3) can be separately configured by
software to be either input or output by writing to the corresponding bit of the
CIOPortB
control register. The
PortB
register is used to read data when in input mode and to write data when in output mode. On each
terminal Pull-Up/Down resistor can be selected by metal option which are active only when selected as input.
Input mode is set by writing 0 to the corresponding bit in the
CIOPortB
register. This results in a high
impedance state with the status of the pin being read from register
PortB.
Output mode is set by writing 1 to the
corresponding bit in the
CIOPortB
register. Consequently the output terminal follows the status of the bits in the
PortB
register. At initial RESET the
CIOPortB
register is set to 0, thus setting the port to an input. Additionally,
PB0 can also be used as a three tone buzzer output. For details see section 7.

If metal mask option
5Y
(Input blocked when Output) is used and the port is declared as the Output (CIOPortB
= 1111b) the real port information cannot be read directly. In this case no direct logic operations (like AND
PortB)
on Output ports are possible. This logic operation can be made with an image of the Port saved in the
RAM which we store after on the output port. This is valid for PortB, PortC and PortD when declared as output
and the metal Option
5Y
is used. In the case of metal option
5N
selected direct logic operations on output ports
are possible.
If metal mask option
6Y
(Output Hi-Z in SLEEP mode) the active Output will go Tristate when the circuit goes
into SLEEP mode. In the case of
6N
output stay active also in the SLEEP mode.
