above mentioned sleep modes, as the clamping in these sleep modes produces the requested logic change.
12.2.4Unconnected pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even though most of the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating inputs should be avoided to reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up. In this case, the pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is important, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or pull-down. Connecting unused pins directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this may cause excessive currents if the pin is accidentally configured as an output.
12.3Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure 12-5 shows how the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 12-2 can be overridden by alternate functions. The overriding signals may not be present in all port pins, but the figure serves as a generic description applicable to all port pins in the AVR microcontroller family.

Figure 12-6. Generic Description of Overriding Signals for Alternate Functions
Signal Name |
Full Name |
Description |
|
|
|
PUOE |
Pull-up Override |
If this signal is set, the pull-up enable is controlled by the |
|
Enable |
PUOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the pull-up is enabled |
|
|
when {DDxn, PORTxn, PUD} = 0b010. |
|
|
|
PUOV |
Pull-up Override |
If PUOE is set, the pull-up is enabled/disabled when PUOV |
|
Value |
is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the DDxn, |
|
|
PORTxn, and PUD Register bits. |
|
|
|
DDOE |
Data Direction |
If this signal is set, the Output Driver Enable is controlled by |
|
Override Enable |
the DDOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the Output driver |
|
|
is enabled by the DDxn Register bit. |
|
|
|
DDOV |
Data Direction |
If DDOE is set, the Output Driver is enabled/disabled when |
|
Override Value |
DDOV is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the DDxn |
|
|
Register bit. |
|
|
|
PVOE |
Port Value |
If this signal is set and the Output Driver is enabled, the port |
|
Override Enable |
value is controlled by the PVOV signal. If PVOE is cleared, |
|
|
and the Output Driver is enabled, the port Value is |
|
|
controlled by the PORTxn Register bit. |
|
|
|
PVOV |
Port Value |
If PVOE is set, the port value is set to PVOV, regardless of |
|
Override Value |
the setting of the PORTxn Register bit. |
|
|
|
DIEOE |
Digital Input Enable |
If this bit is set, the Digital Input Enable is controlled by the |
|
Override Enable |
DIEOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the Digital Input |
|
|
Enable is determined by MCU-state (Normal mode, sleep |
|
|
modes). |
|
|
|
DIEOV |
Digital Input Enable |
If DIEOE is set, the Digital Input is enabled/disabled when |
|
Override Value |
DIEOV is set/cleared, regardless of the MCU state (Normal |
|
|
mode, sleep modes). |
|
|
|
DI |
Digital Input |
This is the Digital Input to alternate functions. In the figure, |
|
|
the signal is connected to the output of the schmitt trigger |
|
|
but before the synchronizer. Unless the Digital Input is used |
|
|
as a clock source, the module with the alternate function will |
|
|
use its own synchronizer. |
|
|
|
AIO |
Analog Input/output |
This is the Analog Input/output to/from alternate functions. |
|
|
The signal is connected directly to the pad, and can be used |
|
|
bi-directionally. |
|
|
|
The following subsections shortly describe the alternate functions for each port, and relate the overriding signals to the alternate function. Refer to the alternate function description for further details.

• 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 “Configuring the Pin” on page 51 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 disconnected 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 disconnected 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.
• SCK – Port B, Bit 5
SCK: Master Clock output, Slave Clock input pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB5. When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDB5. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTB5 bit.

• MISO – Port B, Bit 4
MISO: Master Data input, Slave Data output pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is enabled as a Master, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB4. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDB4. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTB4 bit.
• MOSI/OC2 – Port B, Bit 3
MOSI: SPI Master Data output, Slave Data input for SPI channel. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB3. When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDB3. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTB3 bit.
OC2, Output Compare Match Output: The PB3 pin can serve as an external output for the Timer/Counter2 Compare Match. The PB3 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB3 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC2 pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function.
• SS/OC1B – Port B, Bit 2
SS: Slave Select input. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB2. As a Slave, the SPI is activated when this pin is driven low. When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDB2. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTB2 bit.
OC1B, Output Compare Match output: The PB2 pin can serve as an external output for the Timer/Counter1 Compare Match B. The PB2 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB2 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1B pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function.
• OC1A – Port B, Bit 1
OC1A, Output Compare Match output: The PB1 pin can serve as an external output for the Timer/Counter1 Compare Match A. The PB1 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB1 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1A pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function.
• ICP1 – Port B, Bit 0
ICP1 – Input Capture Pin: The PB0 pin can act as an Input Capture Pin for Timer/Counter1.
Table 12-3 and Table 12-4 relate the alternate functions of Port B to the overriding signals shown in Figure 12-5 on page 56. SPI MSTR INPUT and SPI SLAVE OUTPUT constitute the MISO signal, while MOSI is divided into SPI MSTR OUTPUT and SPI SLAVE INPUT.
