• Bit 2 – PUD: Pull-up Disable
When this bit is written to one, the pull-ups in the I/O ports are disabled even if the DDxn and
PORTxn Registers are configured to enable the pull-ups ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01). See
for more details about this feature.

The alternate pin configuration is as follows:
• XTAL2/TOSC2 – 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) to enable asynchronous clocking of Timer/Counter2, pin PB7 is dis-
connected from the port, and becomes the inverting output of the Oscillator amplifier. In this
mode, a crystal Oscillator is connected to this pin, and the pin cannot be used as an I/O pin.
If PB7 is used as a clock pin, DDB7, PORTB7 and PINB7 will all read 0.
• XTAL1/TOSC1 – 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
AS2 bit in ASSR is set (one) to enable asynchronous clocking of Timer/Counter2, pin PB6 is dis-
connected from the port, and becomes the input of the inverting Oscillator amplifier. In this
mode, a crystal Oscillator is connected to this pin, and the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
If PB6 is used as a clock pin, DDB6, PORTB6 and PINB6 will all read 0.
