Port A as General Digital I/O

All eight pins in Port A have equal functionality when used as digital I/O pins.

PAn, general I/O pin: The DDAn bit in the DDRA register selects the direction of this pin.
If DDAn is set (one), PAn is configured as an output pin. If DDAn is cleared (zero), PAn
is configured as an input pin. If PORTAn is set (one) when the pin is configured as an
input pin, the MOS pull-up resistor is activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, the
PORTAn has to be cleared (zero) or the pin has to be configured as an output pin.The
port pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not
running.

Note:

n: 7,6…0, pin number.

Port A Schematics

Note that all port pins are synchronized. The synchronization latch is, however, not
shown in the figure.
