CLK4
TOUT2
TIN4
L1TCLKB
R6 General-Purpose I/O Port A Bit 4—Bit 4 of the general-purpose I/O port A.
CLK4—This input signal is one of the four clock pins that can be used to clock the
serial communication controllers, serial management controllers, and USB.
TOUT2
—The timer 2 output pin.
TIN4—The timer 4 external clock pin.

PB[31]
SPISEL
LCD_A
N14 General-Purpose I/O Port B Bit 31—Bit 31 of the general-purpose I/O port B.
SPISEL
—The serial peripheral interface slave select input pin.
LCD_A—This is one of the LCD controller’s three extension data bits, which are
used to drive an active LCD panel. When using a 12-bit bus instead of a 9-bit bus,
the LCD_A signal is the least-significant bit of the red 4-bit code. The red portion of
the bus consists of LD[0:2] and LCD_A.
