15.2 FUNCTIONS OF GENERAL-PURPOSE PORTS
A general-purpose I/O port, set up either as a general-purpose output port or output port, outputs high level
or low level signals from each corresponding pin by setting data in the port register accordingly.
A general-purpose I/O port, set up either as a general-purpose input port or input port, detects the level
of the input signal applied to each corresponding pin by reading the contents of the port register.
General-purpose I/O ports are set either as an input ports or output ports, according to the contents of the
control register for each port.
This enables I/O switching to be done by the program.
Since P0A to P0D and P1A to P1C are set as general-purpose ports at power-on reset, other pins that are
used as peripheral hardware are set up independently according to the contents of the corresponding control
register.
Sections 15.2.1 to 15.2.4 describe the functions of the port register and outline the functions of each port.
15.2.1 General-Purpose Port Data Register (Port Register)
The port register sets output data for each general-purpose port and reads input data.
Since the port register is mapped into data memory, it can be manipulated by all data memory manipulation
instructions.
Fig. 15-2 shows the relationship between the port register and each corresponding pin.
Output for each pin is set by setting data in the port register for the pin set as a general-purpose output
port.
The input state of each pin is detected by reading the contents of the port register for the pin set as a general-
purpose output port.
Table 15-2 shows the relationship between each port (each pin) and the port register.

Reserved words are defined in the port register by the assembler.
Since reserved words are defined in flag units (bits), the assembler built-in macro instructions can be used.
Note that reserved words of data memory type are not defined in the port register.
