PORTE and DDRE Register
PORTE is a 4-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding
data direction register is DDRE. A ’1’ in DDRE config-
ures the corresponding port pin as an input. A ’0’ in the
DDRE register configures the corresponding port pin
as an output. Reading PORTE reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to PORTE will write to the port
latch. PORTE is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTE contains
the
control
signals
for
the
address/data
bus
(AD15:AD0). These control signals are Address Latch
Enable (ALE), Output Enable (OE) and Write (WR).
The control signals OE and WR are active low signals.
The timing for the system bus is shown in the Electrical
Specifications section.
ize PORTE. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized. The fol-
lowing example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

Note:
Three pins of this port are configured as
the system bus when the device’s configu-
ration bits are selected to Microprocessor
or Extended Microcontroller modes. The
other pin is a general purpose I/O or
Capture4 pin. In the two other micro-
controller modes, RE2:RE0 are general
purpose I/O pins.
