GPOUT(0 through 7)
Meaning:
General-Purpose Output pins 0 through 7
Mode: Peripheral
and
Host
The CPU sets and clears these bits.
Programming Notes
The CPU writes these bits to control the states of the GPOUT pins. The output voltages are
referenced to the voltage on the VL pin. The CPU can also read these bits. Reading the bit
indicates the state of the output flip-flop that drives the output buffer. Therefore, if the output pin
is driving a large load (e.g., an LED) which compromises the logic level, the CPU will read the
correct logic state of the output pin.
