1.
Port data register 8 (PDR8)
PDR8 is an 8-bit register that stores data for port 8 pins P8
7
to P8
0
. If port 8 is read while PCR8
bits are set to 1, the values stored in PDR8 are read, regardless of the actual pin states. If port 8 is
read while PCR8 bits are cleared to 0, the pin states are read.
Upon reset, PDR8 is initialized to H'00.
2.
Port control register 8 (PCR8)
PCR8 is an 8-bit register for controlling whether each of the port 8 pins P8
7
to P8
0
functions as an
input or output pin. Setting a PCR8 bit to 1 makes the corresponding pin an output pin, while
clearing the bit to 0 makes the pin an input pin. PCR8 and PDR8 settings are valid when the
corresponding pins are designated for general-purpose input/output by bits SGS3 to SGS0 in LPCR.
Upon reset, PCR8 is initialized to H'00.
PCR8 is a write-only register, which is always read as all 1s.
