Content
▪ GPIO Output Mode
▪ GPIO Input Mode
▪ Analog Mode
▪ Alternative function Mode

2
GPIO Output ▪ T1 is the PMOS
and T2 is the NMOS.

▪ When we write 1 from


our code, the first
inverter will make it
as 0

▪ T1 will be activated
Ouput HIGH Output Low and T2 will be
deactivated

▪ T1 will take
the Vcc and give it to
the GPIO pin
3
GPIO Input
▪ When input GPIO = 1,
the inverter makes it as 0

▪ PMOS T1 is activated and


the NMOS T2 is
deactivated

▪ T1 will take the Vcc and


give it to the processor 🡪
get 1 in the software
program

▪ Opposite behaviors occur


when GPIO pin = 0

4
GPIO Input Modes
▪ High-impedance or Floating
▪ Pull-up
▪ Pull-down

5
High-impedance
▪ Whenever the microcontroller is powered
ON, the GPIO pins are by default in this
HIGH impedance state input mode.

▪ High-impedance or HI-Z State of a GPIO is


the state when a pin is floating by not
connecting to either HIGH (VCC) or LOW
(GND) Voltage levels.

▪ Its state is indeterminate (cannot


determine the logic level, which is 0 or 1)
unless it is driven high or low externally.

▪ Floating state can lead to leakage current,


which may result in high power
consumption because a floating pin is
highly susceptible to picking up the noise
and may result in leakage current.

▪ 🡪 It is recommended to keep the unused


pins in either a pull-up or pull-down state
to avoid leakage of current.
6
Pull Up
▪ The internal pull-up
resistor is connected to
the pin. So, the state will
be HIGH unless an
external pull-down
resistor is used.

▪ There will be a particular


register to enable this
pull-up resistor in the
microcontroller (check
on the datasheet)

7
Pull Down
▪ In this type, the internal
pull-down resistor is
connected to the pin. So,
the state will be Low unless
an external pull-up resistor
is used.

▪ There will be a particular


register to enable this
pull-down resistor in the
microcontroller.

8
GPIO Output Modes
▪ The GPIO is used to drive the electrical signal (high or
low) to the pin when it is configured as a output. There
are primarily two configuration options for GPIO outputs:
▫ Push-pull
▫ Open-drain

9
Push-pull
▪ This state is the default state of the GPIO output mode.
The pin can “push” the signal high or “pull” it low using
the PMOS transistor or NMOS transistor.

▪ There is no need for pull-up or pull-down resistors as the


PMOS and NMOS transistors do that job.

10
Open-Drain
▪ In GPIO output mode, the output buffer is formed using the
PMOS and NMOS transistors. If you remove the PMOS
transistor, then it will be an open drain output mode.

▪ The name comes from the fact that the MOSFET’s drain isn’t
internally connected to anything. If you use BJT instead of
MOSFET, then this is called an Open collector

▪ When you make the NMOS to high, then it will supply a


GND. The GPIO pin will be Low.

▪ When you turn off the NMOS, the GPIO will not be
connected to either Vcc or GND. It will be in a floating state.
So, the output will be either Low or high impedance
(floating). It can pull the pin towards the ground, but it
cannot drive it high.

▪ Open drain outputs are most commonly used in


communication interfaces where multiple devices are
connected on the same line (e.g. I2C, One-Wire, etc.). When
all of the outputs of the devices connected to the line are in
the Hi-Z state, the line is driven to a default logic 1 level by a
pull-up. Any device can pull the line to logic 0 using its open
drain ouput and all devices can see this level.
11
Analog Mode
▪ This mode connects the pin to an internal ADC
(analog-to-digital converter) and allows you to read a
value that represents a given voltage in a pin.
▪ The value depends on the resolution of the ADC, for
example, a 12-bit ADC can have values that go from 0 to
4095.
▪ This value is mapped to a voltage that is between 0V and
(usually) the voltage the microcontroller is running (3.3V
for example).
▪ When a GPIO is configured in analog mode the input
pull-up/pull-down resistors are disconnected (floating).

12
Alternate Function Mode
▪ GPIO pins have the capability of providing an alternate
function apart from the regular three modes.

▪ The pins are multiplexed to provide functionalities: UART


Rx/Tx pins, I2C pins, etc.

▪ There will be a separate register to set the alternate


functions.
