ATmega8515(L)
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 30 shows a
functional description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.
Figure 30. General Digital I/O
Note:
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in
“Register Description for I/O Ports” on page 75, 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 config-
ured as an input pin.
If PORTxn is written a 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 a logic
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 no clocks are running.
If PORTxn is written a logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin
is driven high (one). If PORTxn is written a logic zero when the pin is configured as an
output pin, the port pin is driven low (zero).
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) must occur. Normally, the pull-up
