Preliminary
Figure 6-10 Overall Control of GPIOC Pads Using SIM_GPS Control
Two Input/Output pins associated with GPIOD can function as GPIO, EMI (default peripheral) or CAN2
(NOT available on the 56F8167 device) signals. GPIO is the default and is enabled/disabled via the
GPIOD_PER, as shown in Figure 6-11 and Table 6-3. When GPIOD[1:0] are programmed to operate as
peripheral input/output, then the choice between EMI and CAN2 inputs/outputs is made here in the GPS.

1. This applies to the four pins that serve as Quad Decoder / Quad Timer / SPI / GPIOC functions. A separate set of control bits is
used for each pin.
