PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISE. Setting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Read-modify-write operations on the LATE register,
read and write the latched output value for PORTE.
PORTE is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. Each pin is individually configurable as an input
or output. PORTE is multiplexed with the ECCP
On
PIC18F8525/8621
devices,
PORTE
is
also
multiplexed with the system bus as the external memory
interface; the I/O bus is available only when the system
bus is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit in the MEMCON
register (MEMCON<7>). If the device is configured in
Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller mode, then
the PORTE<7:0> becomes the high byte of the address/
data bus for the external program memory interface. In
Microcontroller mode, the PORTE<2:0> pins become
the control inputs for the Parallel Slave Port when bit
PSPMODE
(PSPCON<4>)
is
set.
(Refer
to
When the Parallel Slave Port is active, three PORTE
pins (RE0/AD8/RD/P2D, RE1/AD9/WR/P2C and RE2/
AD10/CS/P2B) function as its control inputs. This
automatically
occurs
when
the
PSPMODE
bit
(PSPCON<4>) is set. Users must also make certain
that bits TRISE<2:0> are set to configure the pins as
digital inputs and the ADCON1 register is configured
for digital I/O. The PORTE PSP control functions are
Pin RE7 can be configured as the alternate peripheral
pin for the ECCP2 module when the device is operating
in Microcontroller mode. This is done by clearing the
configuration
bit,
CCP2MX,
in
the
CONFIG3H
Configuration register (CONFIG3H<0>).
EXAMPLE 10-5:
INITIALIZING PORTE
Note:
For PIC18F8525/8621 (80-pin) devices
operating in Extended Microcontroller
mode, PORTE defaults to the system bus
on Power-on Reset.
