DDRA[7:0] — Data Direction Register A Bits
These read/write bits control port A data direction. Reset clears
DDRA[7:0], 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 12-3 shows the port A I/O logic.
Figure 12-3. Port A I/O Circuit
When bit DDRAx is a logic one, reading address $0000 reads the PTAx
data latch. When bit DDRAx is a logic zero, 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.
