6.1
Port A
Port A is an 8-bit bidirectional port, with both data and data direction registers. In addition to their
I/O capability, port A pins are shared with Timer 1 functions, as shown in the following table.

This is a read/write register and is not affected by reset. The bits may be read and written at any
time, but, when a pin is allocated to its alternate function, a write to the corresponding register bit
has no effect on the pin state.
