9.5 Port 8
Port 8 is a general I/O port also functioning as a Timer W I/O pin. Each pin of the port 8 is shown
in figure 9-5. The register setting of the timer W has priority for functions of the pins P84/FTIOD,
P83/FTIOC, P82/FTIOB, and P81/FTIOA. P80/FTCI also functions as a timer W input port that is
connected to the timer W regardless of the register setting of port 8.

Port 8 has the following registers. For details on register addresses and register states during each
process, refer to section 19, Internal I/O Registers.
•
Port control register 8(PCR8)
•
Port data register 8(PDR8)
9.5.1 Port Control Register 8(PCR8)
PCR8 selects inputs/outputs in bit units for pins to be used as general I/O ports of port 8.

When each of the port 8 pins P87 to P80 functions as an
general I/O port, setting a PCR8 bit to 1 makes the
corresponding pin an output port, while clearing the bit to 0
makes the pin an input port.
