When bit DDRAx is a 1, reading address $0000 reads the PTAx data latch. When bit DDRAx is a 0,
reading address $0000 reads the voltage level on the pin. The data latch can always be written,
regardless of the state of its data direction bit.
Table 12-2 summarizes the operation of the port A pins.
12.2.3 Port A Input Pullup Enable Register
The port A input pullup enable register (PTAPUE) contains a software configurable pullup device for each
of the four port A pins. Each bit is individually configurable and requires that the data direction register,
DDRA, bit be configured as an input. Each pullup is automatically and dynamically disabled when a port
bit’s DDRA is configured for output mode.
PTAPUE3–PTAPUE0 — Port A Input Pullup Enable Bits
These writeable bits are software programmable to enable pullup devices on an input port bit.
1 = Corresponding port A pin configured to have internal pullup
0 = Corresponding port A pin has internal pullup disconnected
