6.11.4 Latch Functions for PortA

The LATA register (PORTA data latch) holds data written to port I/O pins. A write to a LATA register latches data to corresponding port I/O pins. Those I/O port pins configured as outputs are updated. A read from a LATA register reads the data held in the PORTA data latch, not from the port I/O pins.
