Using PFI Terminals as Static Digital I/Os

Each input PFI line can be individually configured as a static digital input,
called P0.x. Each output PFI line can be individually configured as a static
digital output, called P1.x.

Connecting PFI Input Signals

All PFI input connections are referenced to D GND. Figure 10-3 shows this
reference, and how to connect an external PFI 0 source and an external
PFI 2 source to two PFI terminals.
