PIN DESCRIPTIONS AND 
DIAGRAMS
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins and their combined functions are briefly described
here. For specific information about individual functions
such as the A/D Converter (ADC), refer to the
appropriate section in this data sheet.
6.2.2.1
RA0/AN0/SS/V
CAP
Figure 6-1 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• an analog input for the ADC
• a slave select input for the SSP
(1)
• a Voltage Regulator Capacitor pin (PIC16F72X 
only)
6.2.2.2
RA1/AN1
Figure 6-2 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• an analog input for the ADC
6.2.2.3
RA2/AN2
Figure 6-2 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• an analog input for the ADC
6.2.2.4
RA3/AN3/V
REF
Figure 6-2 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• an analog input for the ADC
• a voltage reference input for the ADC
6.2.2.5
RA4/CPS6/T0CKI
Figure 6-3 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• a capacitive sensing input
• a clock input for Timer0
The Timer0 clock input function works independently
of any TRIS register setting. Effectively, if TRISA4 = 0,
the PORTA4 register bit will output to the pad and
Clock Timer0 at the same time.
6.2.2.6
RA5/AN4/CPS7/SS/V
CAP
Figure 6-4 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• an analog input for the ADC
• a capacitive sensing input
• a slave select input for the SSP
(1)
• a Voltage Regulator Capacitor pin (PIC16F72X 
only)
6.2.2.7
RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT/V
CAP
Figure 6-5 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• a crystal/resonator connection
• a clock output
• a Voltage Regulator Capacitor pin (PIC16F72X 
only)
6.2.2.8
RA7/OSC1/CLKIN
Figure 6-6 shows the diagram for this pin. This pin is
configurable to function as one of the following:
• a general purpose I/O
• a crystal/resonator connection
• a clock input
Note 1: SS pin location may be selected as RA5
or RA0.
Note 1: SS pin location may be selected as RA5
or RA0.
