13.3.2 Data Direction Register A
Data direction register A (DDRA) determines whether each port A pin is
an input or an output. Writing a logic 1 to a DDRA bit enables the output
buffer for the corresponding port A pin; a logic 0 disables the output
buffer.

Figure 13-3. Data Direction Register A (DDRA)
DDRA[7:0] — Data Direction Register A Bits
These read/write bits control port A data direction. Reset clears
DDRA[7:0], configuring all port A pins as inputs.
1 = Corresponding port A pin configured as output
0 = Corresponding port A pin configured as input
NOTE: Avoid glitches on port A pins by writing to the port A data register before
changing data direction register A bits from 0 to 1.
Figure 13-4 shows the port A I/O logic.
When bit DDRAx is a logic 1, reading address $0000 reads the PTAx
data latch. When bit DDRAx is a logic 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 13-1 summarizes
the operation of the port A pins.
