12.3.2 Data Direction Register A
Data direction register A (DDRA) determines whether each port A pin is an input or an output. Writing a 1
to a DDRA bit enables the output buffer for the corresponding port A pin; a 0 disables the output buffer.
DDRA7–DDRA0 — Data Direction Register A Bits
These read/write bits control port A data direction. Reset clears DDRA7–DDRA0, configuring all port
A pins as inputs.
1 = Corresponding port A pin configured as output
0 = Corresponding port A pin configured as input
NOTE
Avoid glitches on port A pins by writing to the port A data register before
changing data direction register A bits from 0 to 1.
Figure 12-4 shows the port A I/O logic.
When bit DDRAx is a 1, reading address $0000 reads the PTAx data latch. When bit DDRAx is a 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 12-2 summarizes the operation of the port A pins.
