The pin override value is not loaded into the TRIS
register. This allows read-modify-write of the TRIS
register without concern due to peripheral overrides.
10.3 PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
RC1 is normally configured by configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the ECCP2
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).
EXAMPLE 10-3:
INITIALIZING PORTC

PORTC
; Initialize PORTC by
; clearing output
; data latches
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.

0xCF
; Value used to
; initialize data
; direction
; Set RC<3:0> as inputs
; RC<5:4> as outputs
; RC<7:6> as inputs
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 10-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
TRISC
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an
output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the
corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS
bit settings.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
