Figure 12-3. Synchronization when Reading an Externally Applied Pin value

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch

is closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the

shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock

goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at the succeeding positive clock edge. As indi-

cated by the two arrows tpd, max and tpd, min, a single signal transition on the pin will be

delayed between ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.

When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indi-

cated in Figure 12-4. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of

the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system clock period.

Figure 12-4. Synchronization when Reading a Software Assigned Pin Value

The following code example shows how to set port B pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define

the port pins from 4 to 5 as input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 4. The resulting pin values

are read back again, but as previously discussed, a nop instruction is included to be able to read

back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.
