The alternate pin configuration is as follows:
• XTAL2/TOSC2/PCINT7 – Port B, Bit 7
XTAL2: Chip clock Oscillator pin 2. Used as clock pin for crystal Oscillator or Low-frequency
crystal Oscillator. When used as a clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
TOSC2: Timer Oscillator pin 2. Used only if internal calibrated RC Oscillator is selected as chip
clock source, and the asynchronous timer is enabled by the correct setting in ASSR. When the
AS2 bit in ASSR is set (one) and the EXCLK bit is cleared (zero) to enable asynchronous clock-
ing of Timer/Counter2 using the Crystal Oscillator, pin PB7 is disconnected from the port, and
becomes the inverting output of the Oscillator amplifier. In this mode, a crystal Oscillator is con-
nected to this pin, and the pin cannot be used as an I/O pin.
PCINT7: Pin Change Interrupt source 7. The PB7 pin can serve as an external interrupt source.
If PB7 is used as a clock pin, DDB7, PORTB7 and PINB7 will all read 0.
• XTAL1/TOSC1/PCINT6 – Port B, Bit 6
XTAL1: Chip clock Oscillator pin 1. Used for all chip clock sources except internal calibrated RC
Oscillator. When used as a clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
TOSC1: Timer Oscillator pin 1. Used only if internal calibrated RC Oscillator is selected as chip
clock source, and the asynchronous timer is enabled by the correct setting in ASSR. When the
