Figure 7-3. Port A I/O Logic
When a port A pin is programmed to be an output, the state of its data
register bit determines the state of the output pin. When a port A pin is
programmed to be an input, reading the port A data register returns the
logic state of the pin.
The data latch can always be written, regardless of the state of its DDRA
bit. Table 7-1 summarizes the operation of the port A pins.

NOTE:
To avoid excessive current draw, tie all unused input pins to V_DD or V_SS,
or change I/O pins to outputs by writing to DDRA in user code as early
as possible.
