Question:
(Serial Interface) Is the input or output of pins assigned to TxD and RxD automatically determined by the serial I/O function? Does the port direction register need to be set? [2005/03/01]
Answer:
The pins assigned to TxD/RxD are forcibly determined by control bits related to the serial I/O.
(1) TxD pin is set for output when the serial I/O enable bit is "1" and the transmit enable bit is "1", regardless of the port direction register setting.
(2) RxD pin is set for input when the serial I/O enable bit is "1" and the receive enable bit is "1", regardless of the port direction register setting.
