Bidirectional Port Considerations
This section outlines special considerations for using the pins of these ports.
Port 1 (8XC196MH)
After reset, your software must configure the device to match the
external system. This is accomplished by writing appropriate config-
uration data into P1_MODE. Writing to P1_MODE not only
configures the pins but also turns off the transistor that weakly holds
the pins high (Q4 in Figure 6-2 on page 6-8). For this reason, even if
port 1 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write
data into P1_MODE.

uration data into P1_MODE. Writing to P1_MODE not only

the pins high (Q4 in Figure 6-2 on page 6-8). For this reason, even if
port 1 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write
data into P1_MODE.
Port 2
After reset, your software must configure the device to match the
external system. This is accomplished by writing appropriate config-
uration data into P2_MODE. Writing to P2_MODE not only
configures the pins but also turns off the transistor that weakly holds
the pins high (Q4 in Figure 6-2 on page 6-8). For this reason, even if
port 2 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write
data into P2_MODE.

port 2 is to be used as it is configured at reset, you should still write
data into P2_MODE.
P2.7
A value written to P2_REG.7 is held in a buffer until P2_MODE.7 is
cleared, at which time the value is loaded into P2_REG.7. A value
read from P2_REG.7 is the value currently in the register, not the
value in the buffer. Therefore, any change to P2_REG.7 can be read
only after P2_MODE.7 is cleared.

Port 5
After reset, the device configures port 5 to match the external system.
The following paragraphs describe the states of the port 5 pins after
reset and until your software writes to the P5_MODE register.
Writing to P5_MODE not only configures the pins but also turns off
the transistor that weakly holds the pins high (Q4 in Figure 6-2 on
page 6-8). For this reason, even if port 5 is to be used as it is
configured at reset, you should still write data into P5_MODE.
