Port B Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for the Port B, one each for the Data
Register – PORTB, $18($38), Data Direction Register – DDRB, $17($37) and the Port B
Input Pins – PINB, $16($36). The Port B Input Pins address is read-only, while the Data
Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.
All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors. The Port B output buffers can
sink 20 mA and thus drive LED displays directly. When pins PB0 to PB7 are used as
inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source current if the internal pull-up resis-
tors are activated.
The Port B pins with alternate functions are shown in Table 30.
Note: 1. When the pins are used for the alternate function, the DDRB and PORTB Registers
have to be set according to the alternate function description.
Port B Data Register – PORTB
Port B Data Direction Register
– DDRB
Port B Input Pins Address –
PINB
The Port B Input Pins address (PINB) is not a register; this address enables access to
the physical value on each Port B pin. When reading PORTB, the Port B Data Latch is
read and when reading PINB, the logical values present on the pins are read.
