S Suraj143 Active Member Jan 8, 2008 #1 Before calling my multiplexing routine I make all PORTB outputs. & after I returning from the multiplex routine I make PORTB pins input. This happens continuously. The program works nicely. I want to confirm is this ok to make pins input & output continuously? Will the PIC burn? Thanks

No, it's designed to do that - it's a very common action to use.
