Atmel AT90S8515-8PI - I;O Ports; Port B Description

Port B
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for the Port B, one each for the Data Register - PORTB, $18($38), Data
Direction Register - DDRB, $17($37) and the Port B Input Pins - PINB, $16($36). The Port B Input Pins address is read
only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.
All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors. The Port B output buffers can sink 20 mA and thus drive LED dis-
plays directly. When pins PB0 to PB7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source current if the
internal pull-up resistors are activated.
The Port B pins with alternate functions are shown in the following table:
When the pins are used for the alternate function the DDRB and PORTB register has to be set according to the alternate
function description.
Port B Data Register - PORTB
Port B Data Direction Register - DDRB
Port B Input Pins Address - PINB
The Port B Input Pins address - PINB - is not a register, and this address enables access to the physical value on each Port
B pin. When reading PORTB, the Port B Data Latch is read, and when reading PINB, the logical values present on the pins
are read.
