This port only exists on the the TI-84 Plus and the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. On the standard TI-83 Plus, it acts as a shadow of port 0F. On the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, this port has no effect.

Synopsis

Port Number: 8F

Function: VBus Control

Using this port, you can control the VBus line and see its status.

Read Values

  • Bit 0: Set if VBus is high. (Cutoff between 1.5 V and 3 V)
  • Bit 1: Unknown. Peripheral routines like this bit.
  • Bit 2: Set if calculator is host.
  • Bit 3: Reset if VBus is externally powered.
  • Bit 4: Set if VBus is externally powered.
  • Bit 5: Always 0
  • Bit 6: Set if calculator is successfully hosting a device. It gets set when the device turns on.
  • Bit 7: Reset if A-Type cable is currently inserted.

Write Values

  • Bit 0: Set to power VBus. This will only stick if the USB controller ports are set up correctly. Most notably port 4C and port 54.
  • Bit 2: Unknown. Peripheral routines sometimes set this.
  • Bits 3-7: No effect

Comments

If VBus is internally powered and you short circuit it, it will power down.

Bit 6 is pretty strange, it's not as simple as VBus high, or even VBus supplying power. I lit an LED drawing 30 mA off of VBus and port 6 stayed off. But .5 sec after I plug in a USB device, it sets itself.
