17.3 Port A
Port A is an 8-bit general-purpose bidirectional I/O port.
17.3.1 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.
17.3.2 Data Direction Register A (DDRA)
Data direction register A determines whether each port A pin is an input
or an output. Writing a logic 1 to a DDRA bit enables the output buffer for
the corresponding port A pin; a logic 0 disables the output buffer.
