Ports as General Digital I/O
Configuring the Pin
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the
other pins in the port as general digital I/O.
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups.
tional description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.
Figure 19-2. General Digital I/O
Note:
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in
“EXT_CLOCK = external clock is selected as system clock.” on page
accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits at the PORTx I/O address, and the PINxn
bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one,
Pxn is configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input
pin.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an input pin, the pull-up resistor is
activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PORTxn has to be written logic zero or the pin has to
be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when reset condition becomes active,
even if no clocks are running.
