The IO Pin Controller (PORT) controls the I/O pins of the device. The I/O pins are organized in a series of groups, collectively referred to as a PORT group. Each PORT group can have up to 32 pins that can be configured and controlled individually or as a group.

Using The Library

PORT PLIB provides two kinds of functions which can be used to control PORT Pins:

  • Pin Functions

  • Group Functions

Pin functions take a particular pin as input and operates only on that pin without affecting any other pins. Whereas group functions can operate on multiple pins of the same port together.

Library Interface

peripheral library provides the following interfaces:
