6.4.2.3

Port A Drive Strength Select (PTADS)

An output pin can be selected to have high output drive strength by setting the corresponding bit in the

drive strength select register (PTADSn). 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.

Output Drive Strength Selection for Port A Bits — Each of these control bits selects between low and high

output drive for the associated PTA pin. For port A pins that are configured as inputs, these bits have no effect.

0 Low output drive strength selected for port A bit n.

1 High output drive strength selected for port A bit n.
