[General] General Purpose Input Output(GPIO)

[K Srinivas Pavan Kumar]

Hi,
How can we say that input pins are readable and output pins are both readable and writable in
Genearl Purpose Input/output(GPIO)

Hi
Are you talking about any specific micro controller or general ?

Doesn't matter what micro controller we are speaking about. It is true. Output stage is always latched and can be readed. In case of short circuit output 1 will be readed as 0. Enabling pin to output means just hold one of two push-pull transistor opened. Also, pull-up and pull-down combination can be specified as a semi-output or e.t.c.

Hi,
I am talking for any microcontroller,
I got this doubt when I was dealing with STM32F407ZG MIcrocontroller

Don't mix with bitbang! This registers are write only.

Every micro controller having internal pull-up resistors.
Depending on the direction register value the particular pin will acts as input or output.
