14.2 Ports as General Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 14-2 shows a func-
tional description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.

SLEEP, and PUD are common to all ports.
14.2.1 Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register
Description” on page 84 , the DDxn bits are 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.
