13.17.8.1 Data Direction

This register allows the user to configure one or more I/O pins as an input or output. This register can be manipulated without doing a read-modify-write operation by using the Data Direction Toggle (DIRTGL), Data Direction Clear (DIRCLR) and Data Direction Set (DIRSET) registers.

The I/O pins are assembled in PORT groups with up to 32 pins. Group 0 consists of the PA pins, group 1 is for the PB pins, etc. Each PORT group has its own set of PORT registers with offset 0x80. The available number of PORT groups may depend on the package/pin number of the device.
