6.4.1
An internal pullup device can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in one of the
pullup enable registers (PTxPEn). The pullup device is disabled if the pin is configured as an output by the
parallel I/O control logic or any shared peripheral function regardless of the state of the corresponding
pullup enable register bit. The pullup device is also disabled if the pin is controlled by an analog function.
6.4.2
Slew rate control can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in one of the slew rate
control registers (PTxSEn). When enabled, slew control limits the rate at which an output can transition in
order to reduce EMC emissions. Slew rate control has no effect on pins which are configured as inputs.
6.4.3
An output pin can be selected to have high output drive strength by setting the corresponding bit in one of
the drive strength select registers (PTxDSn). When high drive is selected a pin is capable of sourcing and
sinking greater current. Even though every I/O pin can be selected as high drive, the user must ensure that
the total current source and sink limits for the chip are not exceeded. Drive strength selection is intended
to affect the DC behavior of I/O pins. However, the AC behavior is also affected. High drive allows a pin
to drive a greater load with the same switching speed as a low drive enabled pin into a smaller load.
Because of this the EMC emissions may be affected by enabling pins as high drive.
