Chapter 4
General Purpose I/O
Introduction
The PES16T4G2 has 16 General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins that may be individually configured as:
general purpose inputs, general purpose outputs, or alternate functions. GPIO pins are controlled by the
General Purpose I/O Function (GPIOFUNC), General Purpose I/O Configuration (GPIOCFG), and General
Purpose I/O Data (GPIOD) registers in the upstream port’s PCI configuration space. As shown in Table 4.1,
some GPIO pins are shared with other on-chip functions. The GPIO Function (GPIOFUNC) register
controls whether a GPIO bit operates as a general purpose I/O or as the specified alternate function.
After reset, all GPIO pins default to the GPIO input function. GPIO pins configured as GPIO inputs are
sampled no more frequently than once every 128 ns and may be treated as asynchronous inputs. When a
GPIO pin is configured to use the GPIO function, the unneeded alternate function associated with the pin is
held in an inactive state by internal logic. Care should be exercised when configuring the GPIO pins as
outputs since an incorrect configuration could cause damage to external components as well as the
PES16T4G2.
GPIO Configuration
Associated with each GPIO pin is a bit in the GPIOFUNC, GPIOCFG and GPIOD registers. Table 4.2
summarizes the configuration of GPIO pins.
