SECTION 11: GENERAL-PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO) PINS
The MAX31782 provides general-purpose input/output (GPIO) functionality on 21 pins . In addition to the GPIO function-
ality, each of these pins is multiplexed with at least one other function, which is classified as either a special function
or alternate function .
Special functions override the GPIO register settings of the port pin when they are enabled . Once the special function
takes control, normal control of the port pin is lost until the special function is disabled .
Alternate functions operate in parallel with the GPIO register settings for the port pin, and generally consist of input-only
functions . When an alternate function is enabled for a port pin, the port pin’s output state can still be controlled by the
GPIO register settings, or driven by external hardware .
details all the GPIO pins as well as what other functions are multiplexed with each pin . With the exception
of a few pins, which are described in further detail later, the GPIO pins operate as shown in the GPIO block diagram
(
) . Some of the features of these GPIO pins include the following:
• CMOS output drivers
• Schmitt trigger inputs
• Optional weak pullup to V
