5.0 I/O PORTS
The PIC16CE62X parts have two ports, PORTA and
PORTB. Some pins for these I/O ports are multiplexed
with an alternate function for the peripheral features on
the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled,
that pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
5.1 PORTA and TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 5-bit wide latch. RA4 is a Schmitt Trigger input
and an open drain output. Port RA4 is multiplexed with the
T0CKI clock input. All other RA port pins have Schmitt
Trigger input levels and full CMOS output drivers. All pins
have data direction bits (TRIS registers), which can con-
figure these pins as input or output.
A ’1’ in the TRISA register puts the corresponding output
driver in a hi- impedance mode. A ’0’ in the TRISA register
puts the contents of the output latch on the selected pin(s).
Reading the PORTA 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. So a write
to a port implies that the port pins are first read, then this
value is modified and written to the port data latch.
The PORTA pins are multiplexed with comparator and
voltage reference functions. The operation of these
pins are selected by control bits in the CMCON
(Comparator Control Register) register and the
VRCON (Voltage Reference Control Register) register.
When selected as a comparator input, these pins will
read as ’0’s.

Note:
On reset, the TRISA register is set to all
inputs. The digital inputs are disabled and
the comparator inputs are forced to ground
to reduce excess current consumption.
TRISA controls the direction of the RA pins, even when
they are being used as comparator inputs. The user
must make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs
when using them as comparator inputs.
The RA2 pin will also function as the output for the
voltage reference. When in this mode, the VREF pin is a
very high impedance output. The user must configure
TRISA<2> bit as an input and use high impedance
loads.
In one of the comparator modes defined by the
CMCON register, pins RA3 and RA4 become outputs
of the comparators. The TRISA<4:3> bits must be
cleared to enable outputs to use this function.
