12.3 Port A

Port A is an 8-bit general-purpose bidirectional I/O port with software
configurable pullups.

12.3.1 Port A Data Register (PTA)

The port A data register contains a data latch for each of the eight port
A pins.

PTA[7:0] — Port A Data Bits

These read/write bits are software programmable. Data direction of
each port A pin is under the control of the corresponding bit in data
direction register A. Reset has no effect on port A data.

The port A pullup enable bit, PAP, in the port option control register
(POC) enables pullups on port A pins if the respective pin is configured
as an input.

(See 12.9 Port Options

.)

12.3.2 Data Direction Register A (DDRA)

Data direction register A determines whether each port A pin is an input
or an output. Writing a logic one to a DDRA bit enables the output buffer
for the corresponding port A pin; a logic zero disables the output buffer.
