2486AA–AVR–02/2013

ATmega8(L)

• ADC1 – Port C, Bit 1

PC1 can also be used as ADC input Channel 1. Note that ADC input channel 1 uses analog

power.

• ADC0 – Port C, Bit 0

PC0 can also be used as ADC input Channel 0. Note that ADC input channel 0 uses analog

power.

Table 26 and Table 27 relate the alternate functions of Port C to the overriding signals shown in

Figure 25 on page 56.

Note: 1. When enabled, the Two-wire Serial Interface enables slew-rate controls on the output pins

PC4 and PC5. This is not shown in the figure. In addition, spike filters are connected between

the AIO outputs shown in the port figure and the digital logic of the TWI module
