PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is DDRB. A ’1’ in DDRB
configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A ’0’
in the DDRB register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTB reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTB will write to the port
latch.
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
done by clearing the RBPU (PORTA<7>) bit. The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are enabled on
any RESET.
PORTB also has an interrupt-on-change feature. Only
pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to
occur (i.e., any RB7:RB0 pin configured as an output is
excluded from the interrupt-on-change comparison).
The input pins (of RB7:RB0) are compared with the
value in the PORTB data latch. The “mismatch” outputs
of RB7:RB0 are OR’d together to set the PORTB Inter-
rupt Flag bit, RBIF (PIR1<7>).

Q
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt by:
a)
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF bit.
Reading, then writing PORTB, will end the mismatch
condition and allow the RBIF bit to be cleared.
This interrupt-on-mismatch feature, together with soft-
ware configurable pull-ups on this port, allows easy
interface to a keypad and makes it possible for wake-
up on key depression. For an example, refer to Appli-
cation Note AN552, “Implementing Wake-up on
Keystroke.”
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on operations, where PORTB is only used for
the interrupt-on-change feature and key depression
operations.
Note:
CK
Read-Write PORTB (such as: MOVPF PORTB,
PORTB). This will end the mismatch condition.
Then, clear the RBIF bit.
D
On a device RESET, the RBIF bit is inde-
terminate, since the value in the latch may
be different than the pin.
