10.6.2 Data Direction Register E
Data direction register E (DDRE) determines whether each port E pin is an input or an output. Writing a
logic 1 to a DDRE bit enables the output buffer for the corresponding port E pin; a logic 0 disables the
output buffer.
DDRE[7:0] — Data Direction Register E Bits
These read/write bits control port E data direction. Reset clears DDRE[7:0], configuring all port E pins
as inputs.
1 = Corresponding port E pin configured as output
0 = Corresponding port E pin configured as input
NOTE
Avoid glitches on port E pins by writing to the port E data register before
changing data direction register E bits from 0 to 1.
Figure 10-15 shows the port E I/O logic.
Figure 10-15. Port E I/O Circuit
When bit DDREx is a logic 1, reading address $0008 reads the PTEx data latch. When bit DDREx is a
logic 0, reading address $0008 reads the voltage level on the pin. The data latch can always be written,
regardless of the state of its data direction bit. Table 10-5 summarizes the operation of the port E pins.
