12.3.2 Data Direction Register B
Data direction register B (DDRB) determines whether each port B pin is an input or an output. Writing a 1
to a DDRB bit enables the output buffer for the corresponding port B pin; a 0 disables the output buffer.
DDRB[7:0] — Data Direction Register B Bits
These read/write bits control port B data direction. Reset clears DDRB[7:0], configuring all port B pins
as inputs.
1 = Corresponding port B pin configured as output
0 = Corresponding port B pin configured as input
NOTE
Avoid glitches on port B pins by writing to the port B data register before
changing data direction register B bits from 0 to 1. Figure 12-7 shows the
port B I/O logic.
Figure 12-7. Port B I/O Circuit
When DDRBx is a 1, reading address $0001 reads the PTBx data latch. When DDRBx is a 0, reading
address $0001 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 B pins.
