When reading from the 8-bit F-port data register to a 16-bit accumulator, the
IN instruction automatically clears the extra bits in excess of 8. The desired bits
in the result will be right-justified within the accumulator.

The following table shows the bit locations of the port F address mapping:

F port Input Data register

The external interrupt INT5 is triggered by a falling-edge event on any of the
eight port-F input pins (see Section 3.1.5, Internal and External Interrupts).
The F port input pins are gated through an eight-input AND gate, such that any
input pin going low causes the output of the AND gate to go low. Therefore,
if any input pin is held low, the device will not trigger INT5 when another input
is taken low. Specifically, INT5 is triggered if all eight port-F pins are held high,
and then one or more of these pins is taken low. This allows port F to be espe-
cially useful as a key-scan interface.

Dedicated Output Port G

Port G is a 16-bit wide output-only port. The output drivers have a Totem-Pole
configuration. The data driven by the output pin can be controlled by setting
or clearing the appropriate bit in the G port data register, address 0x2C. This
is done using the OUT instruction, with the 0x2C address as an argument. The
port G outputs are set to 0 (logic low) when the RESET pin is taken low. This
condition is maintained after RESET is taken high, and until the G port data
register is modified.
