Chapter 9: LPC176x/5x General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
• Registers provide a software view of pending rising edge interrupts, pending falling
edge interrupts, and overall pending GPIO interrupts.
• GPIO0 and GPIO2 interrupts share the same position in the NVIC with External
Interrupt 3.
9.3 Applications
• General purpose I/O
• Driving LEDs or other indicators
• Controlling off-chip devices
• Sensing digital inputs, detecting edges
• Bringing the part out of Power-down mode

Input/
Output
General purpose input/output. These are typically shared with other
peripherals functions and will therefore not all be available in an
application. Packaging options may affect the number of GPIOs
available in a particular device.
Some pins may be limited by requirements of the alternate functions of
the pin. For example, the pins containing the I
2
C0 functions are
open-drain for any function selected on that pin. Details may be found
in Section 7.1.1
