Toggling the Pin
Switching Between Input and Output
Reading the Pin Value
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven
high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port
pin is driven low (zero).
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn.
Note that the SBI instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output
low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) occurs. Normally, the pull-up enabled state is fully acceptable, as
a high-impedance environment will not notice the difference between a strong high driver and a
pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR Register can be set to disable all pull-
ups in all ports.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user
must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11) as an intermediate step.

Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the
PINxn Register bit. As shown in

near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay.
