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 Com-
pare 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 set-
ting 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 Com-
pare 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 Com-
pare 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.

MSTR OUTPUT and SPI SLAVE INPUT.
