Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the inverting Oscillator
amplifier.
If the Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB[7:6] is used as TOSC[2:1] input
for the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.
5.2.4. Port C (PC[5:0])
Port C is a 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The PC[5:0]
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port
C pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
5.2.5. PC6/RESET
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin. Note that the electrical characteristics
of PC6 differ from those of the other pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer
than the minimum pulse length will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are
not guaranteed to generate a Reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated in the Alternate Functions of Port C section.
5.2.6. Port D (PD[7:0])
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port D
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port
D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
5.2.7. AV
CC
AV
CC
is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, PC[3:0], and PE[3:2]. It should be externally
connected to V
CC
, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to V
CC
through
a low-pass filter. Note that PC[6:4] use digital supply voltage, V
CC
.
5.2.8. AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
5.2.9. ADC[7:6] (TQFP and VFQFN Package Only)
In the TQFP and VFQFN package, ADC[7:6] serve as analog inputs to the A/D converter. These pins are
powered from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit ADC channels.
