PORTA is a group of eight GPIO pins in a microcontroller. The LATA register, also known as the LAT register, is used to write data to these GPIO pins.
When a bit in the LATA register is set, the corresponding pin in PORTA will be driven high. Conversely, when a bit is cleared in the LATA register, the corresponding pin in PORTA will be driven low.
Writing to the LATA register allows you to easily control the state of the GPIO pins in PORTA. This can be useful for tasks such as driving LEDs, controlling digital outputs, or interfacing with other devices.
