Bit Set/reset (BSR) Mode
The Bit Set/Reset (BSR) mode is applicable to port C only. Each line of port C (PC0 - PC7) can be set/reset by suitably loading the control word register. BSR mode and I/O mode are independent and selection of BSR mode does not affect the operation of other ports in I/O mode.
- D7 bit is always 0 for BSR mode.
- Bits D6, D5 and D4 are don't care bits.
- Bits D3, D2 and D1 are used to select the pin of Port C.
- Bit D0 is used to set/reset the selected pin of Port C.
Selection of port C pin is determined as follows:
| B3 | B2 | B1 | Bit/pin of port C selected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | PC0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | PC1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | PC2 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | PC3 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | PC4 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | PC5 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | PC6 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | PC7 |
As an example, if it is needed that PC5 be set, then in the control word,
- Since it is BSR mode, D7 = '0'.
- Since D4, D5, D6 are not used, assume them to be '0'.
- PC5 has to be selected, hence, D3 = '1', D2 = '0', D1 = '1'.
- PC5 has to be set, hence, D0 = '1'.
Thus, as per the above values, 0B (Hex) will be loaded into the Control Word Register (CWR).
| D7 | D6 | D5 | D4 | D3 | D2 | D1 | D0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |

Famous quotes containing the words bit, set and/or mode:
“We have paid for nothing more dearly than for the little bit of human reason and the sense of freedom that currently constitutes our pride.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The love of their country is with them only a mode of flattering its master; as soon as they think that master can no longer hear, they speak of everything with a frankness which is the more startling because those who listen to it become responsible.”
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
