12.4.2 Data Direction Register B (DDRB)

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

DDRB[7:0] — Data Dire ction Register B Bits

These read/write bits control port B data direction. Reset clears DDRB[7:0], configuring all port B pins as inputs.

1 = Corresponding port B pin configured as output

0 = Corresponding port B pin configured as input

NOTE: Avoid glitches on port B pins by writing to the port B data register before changing data direction register B bits from 0 to 1.
