PIC16C745/765

PORTD operates as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port
(PSP), or microprocessor port when control bit PSP-
MODE (TRISE<4>) is set. In slave mode, it is asyn-
chronously readable and writable by the external world
through RD control input pin RE0/RD/AN5 and WR
control input pin RE1/WR/AN6.
It can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data
bus. The external microprocessor can read or write the
PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting bit PSPMODE
enables port pin RE0/RD/AN5 to be the RD input,
RE1/WR/AN6 to be the WR input and RE2/CS/AN7 to
be the CS (chip select) input. For this functionality, the
corresponding data direction bits of the TRISE register
(TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as inputs (set) and
the
(ADCON1<2:0>) must be set, which will configure pins
RE<2:0> as digital I/O.
There are actually two 8-bit latches; one for data-out
(from the PICmicro
input. The user writes 8-bit data to PORTD data latch
and reads data from the port pin latch (note that they
have the same address). In this mode, the TRISD reg-
ister is ignored, since the microprocessor is controlling
the direction of data flow.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low. When either the CS or WR
lines become high (level triggered), then the Input
Buffer Full (IBF) status flag bit (TRISE<7>) is set on the
Q4 clock cycle, following the next Q2 cycle, to signal the
write is complete (Figure 5-9). The interrupt flag bit
PSPIF (PIR1<7>) is also set on the same Q4 clock
cycle. IBF can only be cleared by reading the PORTD
input latch. The Input Buffer Overflow (IBOV) status flag
bit (TRISE<5>) is set if a second write to the PSP is
attempted when the previous byte has not been read
out of the buffer.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The Output Buffer Full
(OBF) status flag bit (TRISE<6>) is cleared immedi-
ately (Figure 5-10) indicating that the PORTD latch is
waiting to be read by the external bus. When either the
CS or RD pin becomes high (level triggered), the inter-
rupt flag bit PSPIF is set on the Q4 clock cycle, follow-
ing the next Q2 cycle, indicating that the read is
complete. OBF remains low until data is written to
PORTD by the user firmware.
When not in PSP mode, the IBF and OBF bits are held
clear. However, if flag bit IBOV was previously set, it
must be cleared in firmware.

The PIC16C745 does not provide a paral-

Advanced Information
An interrupt is generated and latched into flag bit
PSPIF when a read or write operation is completed.
PSPIF must be cleared by the user in firmware and the
interrupt can be disabled by clearing the interrupt
enable bit PSPIE (PIE1<7>).
