I/O pins that are shared with any analog input pin,
(i.e., ANx), are always analog pins by default after
any reset. Consequently, any pin(s) configured as
an analog input pin, automatically disables the dig-
ital input pin buffer. As such, any attempt to read a
digital input pin will always return a ‘0’ regardless
of the digital logic level on the pin if the analog pin
is configured. To use a pin as a digital I/O pin on a
shared ANx pin, the user application needs to con-
figure the analog pin Configuration registers in the
ADC module, (i.e., ADxPCFGL, AD1PCFGH), by
setting the appropriate bit that corresponds to that
I/O port pin to a ‘1’. On devices with more than one
ADC, both analog pin configurations for both ADC
modules must be configured as a digital I/O pin for
that pin to function as a digital I/O pin.

Most I/O pins have multiple functions. Referring to
the device pin diagrams in the data sheet, the pri-
orities of the functions allocated to any pins are
indicated by reading the pin name from
left-to-right. The left most function name takes pre-
cedence over any function to its right in the naming
convention. For example: AN16/T2CK/T7CK/RC1.
This indicates that AN16 is the highest priority in
this example and will supersede all other functions
to its right in the list. Those other functions to its
right, even if enabled, would not work as long as
any other function to its left was enabled. This rule
applies to all of the functions listed for a given pin.

Each CN pin has a configurable internal weak
pull-up resistor. The pull-ups act as a current
source connected to the pin, and eliminates the
need for external resistors in certain applica-
tions. The internal pull-up is to ~(V
pull-up resistor. The pull-ups act as a current
source connected to the pin, and eliminates the

Note:
Although it is not possible to use a digital
input pin when its analog function is
enabled, it is possible to use the digital I/O
output function, TRISx = 0x0, while the
analog function is also enabled. However,
this is not recommended, particularly if the
analog input is connected to an external
analog voltage source, which would cre-
ate signal contention between the analog
signal and the output pin driver.
