ATTINY167 - ATA6617 cannot drive a red led? [solved]

[mimmus78]

Hi all,

I'm using a ATA6617 (it's an ATA6624 + an ATTINY167 in a single package) but something happen somewhere in my workflow or to the chip.

I'm not able anymore to drive a red led (and anything else) by any of the pin in port A or B.

I'm running this program:

Code: [Select]

#define LED0_PORT               PORTA
#define LED0_PIN                DDA7
#define LED0_H          LED0_PORT |= (1 << LED0_PIN);
#define LED0_L          LED0_PORT &= ~(1 << LED0_PIN);
#define LED0_T                  LED0_PORT ^= (1 << LED0_PIN);
#define F_CPU           8000000UL

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

int main(void)
{
LED0_PORT |= (1 << LED0_PIN) ; // Set LED as output

while (1)
{
_delay_ms(333);
LED0_T; // toggle led
}
}
If I check the pin without any load with an oscilloscope it's ok. As soon as I insert the red led (with an in series 220R) the voltage at DDA7 drop from 5V to 1.6V.

It's like the GPIOs build up a high internal resistance.

ATA6624 internal regulator is ok because if I connect the led (and resistor) to the 5V output it turn on regularly (and there is no voltage drop).

Anyone can confirm that the chip failed or I'm missing something?

Isn't que data direction register spelled DDRA and not DDA?
Also you are not setting the pin as an output, so only enabling and disabling the internal pull-up, so what you see is perfectly normal behaviour.

DDRA |= (1<<PA7);  //Set Pin A1 as output
PORTA ^=(1<<PA7);  //Toogle pin A1.

Thanks it worked ... I write code every day for living and just started with electronic.

I always thinking I'm making something wrong in the electronic part of the project but it seems to be always the bloody code.

I was thinking I fried it ...

Great, at the start it can be a bit strange to understand everything, but with time it will all fall into place, so keep up the good work
