Table 21 summarizes the function of the overriding signals. The pin and port indexes from Fig-
ure 25 on page 56 are not shown in the succeeding tables. The overriding signals are generated
internally in the modules having the alternate function.
Table 21. Generic Description of Overriding Signals for Alternate Functions
Signal Name Full Name
Description
PUOE
PUOV
DDOE
DDOV
PVOE
Pull-up Override
Enable
If this signal is set, the pull-up enable is controlled by
the PUOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the pull-up is
enabled when {DDxn, PORTxn, PUD} = 0b010.
Pull-up Override
Value
If PUOE is set, the pull-up is enabled/disabled when
PUOV is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the
DDxn, PORTxn, and PUD Register bits.
Data Direction
Override Enable
If this signal is set, the Output Driver Enable is
controlled by the DDOV signal. If this signal is cleared,
the Output driver is enabled by the DDxn Register bit.
Data Direction
Override Value
If DDOE is set, the Output Driver is enabled/disabled
when DDOV is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of
the DDxn Register bit.
Port Value
Override Enable
If this signal is set and the Output Driver is enabled,
the port value is controlled by the PVOV signal. If
PVOE is cleared, and the Output Driver is enabled, the
port Value is controlled by the PORTxn Register bit.
PVOV
Port Value
If PVOE is set, the port value is set to PVOV,
Override Value
regardless of the setting of the PORTxn Register bit.
DIEOE
Digital Input Enable
Override Enable
If this bit is set, the Digital Input Enable is controlled by
the DIEOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the Digital
Input Enable is determined by MCU-state (Normal
mode, sleep modes).
DIEOV
DI
Digital Input Enable
Override Value
If DIEOE is set, the Digital Input is enabled/disabled
when DIEOV is set/cleared, regardless of the MCU
state (Normal mode, sleep modes).
Digital Input
This is the Digital Input to alternate functions. In the
figure, the signal is connected to the output of the
schmitt trigger but before the synchronizer. Unless the
Digital Input is used as a clock source, the module with
the alternate function will use its own synchronizer.
AIO
Analog Input/output
This is the Analog Input/output to/from alternate
functions. The signal is connected directly to the pad,
and can be used bi-directionally.
The following subsections shortly describe the alternate functions for each port, and relate the
overriding signals to the alternate function. Refer to the alternate function description for further
details.
