V CCI
- A. Device address configured as 0100000 for this example.
- B. P00 and P02-P10 are configured as inputs.
- C. P01, P11-P17, and P20-P27 are configured as outputs.
- D. Resistors are required for inputs (on P port) that may float. If a driver to an input will not let the input float, a resistor is not needed. Outputs (in the P port) do not need pullup resistors.
