PADDR is an 8-bit write-only register, the individual bits of which specify input or output for the 
pins of port A. PADDR cannot be read; if it is, an undefined value will be read. Bits 7 to 4 are 
reserved. 
PADDR is initialized to H'0 (bits 3 to 0) by a reset and in hardware standby mode. It retains its 
prior state in software standby mode. The OPE bit in SBYCR is used to select whether the address 
output pins retain their output state or become high-impedance when a transition is made to 
software standby mode. 
•  Modes 4 and 5 
The corresponding port A pins are address outputs irrespective of the value of bits PA3DDR to 
PA0DDR. 
•  Mode 6
*
Setting PADDR bits to 1 makes the corresponding port A pins address outputs, while clearing 
the bits to 0 makes the pins input ports.
