20.4. Port I/O Initialization
Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:
1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all Port pins, using the Port Input Mode register (PnMDIN).
2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all Port pins, using the Port Output Mode register
(PnMDOUT).
3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O Crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).
4. Assign Port pins to desired peripherals.
5. Enable the Crossbar (XBARE = 1).
All Port pins must be configured as either analog or digital inputs. Port 4 on C8051F580/1/4/5 and
C8051F588/9-F590/1 is a digital-only Port. Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC inputs should be
configured as an analog inputs. When a pin is configured as an analog input, its weak pullup, digital driver,
and digital receiver are disabled. This process saves power and reduces noise on the analog input. Pins
configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however this practice is not recom-
mended.
Additionally, all analog input pins should be configured to be skipped by the Crossbar (accomplished by
setting the associated bits in PnSKIP). Port input mode is set in the PnMDIN register, where a 1 indicates a
digital input, and a 0 indicates an analog input. All pins default to digital inputs on reset. See SFR Definition
20.14 for the PnMDIN register details.
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port Output Mode registers (PnMD-
OUT). Each Port Output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is
required even for the digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only
exception to this is the SMBus (SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the
PnMDOUT settings. When the WEAKPUD bit in XBR2 is 0, a weak pullup is enabled for all Port I/O config-
ured as open-drain. WEAKPUD does not affect the push-pull Port I/O. Furthermore, the weak pullup is
turned off on an output that is driving a 0 to avoid unnecessary power dissipation.
Registers XBR0, XBR1, XBR2, an XBR3 must be loaded with the appropriate values to select the digital
I/O functions required by the design. Setting the XBARE bit in XBR2 to 1 enables the Crossbar. Until the
Crossbar is enabled, the external pins remain as standard Port I/O (in input mode), regardless of the XBRn
Register settings. For given XBRn Register settings, one can determine the I/O pin-out using the Priority
Decode Table; as an alternative, the Configuration Wizard utility of the Silicon Labs IDE software will deter-
mine the Port I/O pin-assignments based on the XBRn Register settings.
The Crossbar must be enabled to use Port pins as standard Port I/O in output mode. Port output drivers
are disabled while the Crossbar is disabled.
