ATTINY816 Pin Configuration

These bits select the Reset/UPDI pin configuration.

ValueDescription
0x0GPIO
0x1UPDI
0x2RESET
0x3Reserved

Note: When configuring the Reset Pin as GPIO, there is a potential conflict between the GPIO actively driving the output, and a 12V UPDI enable sequence initiation. To avoid this, the GPIO output driver is disabled for 768 OSC32K cycles after a System Reset. Enable any interrupts for this pin only after this period.

ATTINY816 Electrical Characteristics

The TWI module in AVR devices follows the electrical specifications and timing of I 2 C bus and SMBus. These specifications are not 100% compliant, and so to ensure correct behavior, the inactive bus timeout period should be set in TWI master mode. Refer to 26.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation for more details.
