Product Dependencies
23.4.1 Pin
Multiplexing
Each pin is configurable, depending on the product, as either a general-purpose I/O line only, or as an I/O line
multiplexed with one or two peripheral I/Os. As the multiplexing is hardware defined and thus product-dependent, the
hardware designer and programmer must carefully determine the configuration of the PIO Controllers required by their
application. When an I/O line is general-purpose only, i.e. not multiplexed with any peripheral I/O, programming of the
PIO Controller regarding the assignment to a peripheral has no effect and only the PIO Controller can control how the pin
is driven by the product.

23.4.2 External Interrupt Lines
The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are generally multiplexed through the PIO Controllers. However, it is not
necessary to assign the I/O line to the interrupt function as the PIO Controller has no effect on inputs and the interrupt
lines (FIQ or IRQs) are used only as inputs.

23.4.3 Power
Management
The Power Management Controller controls the PIO Controller clock in order to save power. Writing any of the registers
of the user interface does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled. This means that the configuration of the I/O
lines does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled.
of the user interface does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled. This means that the configuration of the I/O
lines does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled.
However, when the clock is disabled, not all of the features of the PIO Controller are available, including glitch filtering.
Note that the input change interrupt, the interrupt modes on a programmable event and the read of the pin level require
the clock to be validated.

After a hardware reset, the PIO clock is disabled by default.
The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the input line information.
23.4.4 Interrupt
Generation
For interrupt handling, the PIO Controllers are considered as user peripherals. This means that the PIO Controller
interrupt lines are connected among the interrupt sources. Refer to the PIO Controller peripheral identifier in the product
description to identify the interrupt sources dedicated to the PIO Controllers. Using the PIO Controller requires the
Interrupt Controller to be programmed first.

The PIO Controller interrupt can be generated only if the PIO Controller clock is enabled.
