1.8.13 1.27.11 1.28.13 1.41.12 1.42.10 Parallel Input/Output (PIO) Controller
The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) manages up to 32 fully programmable input/output lines. Each I/O line may be dedicated as a general-purpose I/O or be assigned to a function of an embedded peripheral. This ensures effective optimization of the pins of the product.
Using The Library
The PIO peripheral library provides two kinds of functions which can be used to control PIO Pins:
-
Pin Functions.
-
Port Functions.
Pin functions take a particular pin as input and operates only on that pin without affecting any other pins. Whereas port functions can operate on multiple pins of the same port together.
The PIO peripheral library can generate a callback on a pin interrupt if the pin interrupt is enabled in the MHC.
Library Interface
peripheral library provides the following interfaces:
