17.5.13 GPIODR8R Register (Offset = 0x508) [reset = 0x0]
GPIO 8-mA Drive Select (GPIODR8R)
The GPIODR8R register is the 8-mA drive control register. Each GPIO signal in the port can be
individually configured without affecting the other pads. When setting the DRV8 bit for a GPIO signal, the
corresponding DRV2 bit in the GPIODR2R register and DRV4 bit in the GPIODR4R register are
automatically cleared by hardware. The 8-mA setting is also used for high-current operation.
NOTE:
There is no configuration difference between 8-mA and high-current operation. The
additional current capacity results from a shift in the V
OH
/ V
OL
levels. See for further
information.
NOTE:
This register has no effect on port pins PL6 and PL7.

8-mA Drive Enable.
Setting a bit in either the GPIODR2 register or the GPIODR4 register
clears the corresponding
8-mA enable bit.
The change is effective on the next clock cycle.
0x0 = The drive for the corresponding GPIO pin is controlled by the
GPIODR2R or GPIODR4R register.
0x1 = The corresponding GPIO pin has 8-mA drive.
