register are maintained set when using them as analog
inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs always
read ‘0’.

GPIO PORT
There are as many as six general purpose I/O pins
available. Depending on which peripherals are
enabled, some or all of the pins may not be available as
general purpose I/O. In general, when a peripheral is
enabled, the associated pin may not be used as a
general purpose I/O pin.
Note: The ANSEL (9Fh) and CMCON (±9h)
registers (9Fh) must be initialized to
configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pins configured as analog inputs will
read ‘0’. The ANSEL register is defined for
the PIC±2F675.
Note: Additional information on I/O ports may be
found in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Refer-
ence Manual, (DS33023)

GPIO is an 6-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISIO. Setting a
TRISIO bit (= ±) will make the corresponding GPIO pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISIO bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding GPIO pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The exception is GP3, which is input only and its
TRISIO bit will always read as ‘±’. Example 3-± shows
how to initialize GPIO.

Additional Pin Functions
Every GPIO pin on the PIC±2F629/675 has an
interrupt-on-change option and every GPIO pin, except
GP3, has a weak pull-up option. The next two sections
describe these functions.
Reading the GPIO register reads the status of the pins,
whereas writing to it will write to the port latch. All write
operations are read-modify-write operations. There-
fore, a write to a port implies that the port pins are read,
this value is modified, and then written to the port data
latch. GP3 reads ‘0’ when MCLREN = ±.
3.2.1
WEAK PULL-UP
Each of the GPIO pins, except GP3, has an individually
configurable weak internal pull-up. Control bits WPUx
enable or disable each pull-up. Refer to Register 3-3.
Each weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the
port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset by the GPPU bit
(OPTION<7>).
The TRISIO register controls the direction of the
GP pins, even when they are being used as analog
inputs. The user must ensure the bits in the TRISIO
