In I/O mode, each bit of the extended port I/O direction (EP_DIR) register controls the direction of the
corresponding pin. Clearing a bit configures a pin as a complementary output; setting a bit configures
a pin as either an input or an open-drain output. (Open-drain outputs require external pull-ups).
Any pin that is configured for its extended-address function is forced to the complementary output
mode except during reset, hold, idle, powerdown, and standby. (Standby mode is available only on the
80C196NU.)
