Figure 13-4 shows the port A I/O logic.

When bit DDRAx is a logic 1, reading address $0000 reads the PTAx data latch. When bit DDRAx is a
logic 0, reading address $0000 reads the voltage level on the pin. The data latch can always be written,
regardless of the state of its data direction bit. Table 13-2 summarizes the operation of the port A pins.
13.3.3 Port A Input Pullup Enable Register
The port A input pullup enable register (PTAPUE) contains a software configurable pullup device for each
of the eight port A pins. Each bit is individually configurable and requires that the data direction register,
DDRA, bit be configured as an input. Each pullup is automatically and dynamically disabled when a port
bit’s DDRA is configured for output mode.
