Bi-directional I/O Ports
I/O Programming Considerations
When using the ports (and GPIO) as I/O, design considerations need to be taken into account to
ensure that the operation is as intended.
Any instruction which performs a write operation actually does a read followed by a write opera-
tion. The BCF and BSF instructions, for example, read the register into the CPU, execute the bit
operation, and write the result back to the register. Caution must be used when these instructions
are applied to a port with both inputs and outputs defined. For example, a BSF operation on bit5
of PORTB will cause all eight bits of PORTB to be read into the CPU. Then the BSF operation
takes place on bit5 and PORTB is written to the output latches. If another bit of PORTB is used
as a bi-directional I/O pin (e.g., bit0) and it is defined as an input at this time, the input signal
present on the pin itself would be read into the CPU and rewritten to the data latch of this partic-
ular pin, overwriting the previous content. As long as the pin stays in the input mode, no problem
occurs. However, if bit0 is switched to an output, the content of the data latch may now be
unknown.
Reading the port register, reads the values of the port pins. Writing to the port register writes the
value to the port latch. When using read-modify-write instructions (ex. BCF, BSF, etc.) on a port,
the value of the port pins is read, the desired operation is performed on this value, and the value
is then written to the port latch.
Example 9-9
Example 9-9: Read-Modify-Write Instructions on an I/O Port
A pin configured as an output, actively driving a Low or High should not be driven from external
devices at the same time in order to change the level on this pin (“wired-or,” “wired-and”). The
resulting high output currents may damage the chip.

; The 2nd BCF caused RB7 to be latched as the pin value (high).
