6.11.3 Port Pin Data for PortA

A write to a PORTA register writes to the corresponding LATA register (PORTA data latch). Those I/O port pin(s) configured as outputs are updated. A write to a PORTA register is effectively the same as a write to a LATA register. A read from a PORTA register reads the synchronized signal applied to the port I/O pins.
