Dimensional drawing
Cautions and warnings
Surge arrester must be selected so that the maximum expected follow current can be quenched.
The follow current must be limited so that the arrester can be properly extinguished when the
surge has decayed. The arrester might otherwise heat up and ignite adjacent components.
Surge arresters must not be operated directly in power supply networks.
Surge arresters may become hot in case of longer periods of current stress (danger of burning).
Surge arresters may be used only within their specified values. In case of overload, the head
contacts may fail or the component may be destroyed.
Damaged surge arresters must not be re-used.

The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic components
or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the
current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications
requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which
the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger human life or health
(e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of
suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation
of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the
event of malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of
the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry”
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
7. The trade names EPCOS, BAOKE, Alu-X, CeraDiode, CSSP, MiniBlue, MKK, MLSC, MotorCap,

Introduction
Ce document détaille la procédure de mise à jour du firmware
du SSD Crucial m4 via notre utilitaire de mise à jour Windows.
L’utilitaire consiste en un seul fichier exécutable qui contient tous
les codes nécessaires pour procéder à la mise à jour. La création
d’un support de démarrage distinct est inutile.
Ce programme est destiné à la mise à jour du firmware depuis les
révisions 0001, 0002, 0009, 0309, 000F et 010G vers la révision
040H.
REMARQUE : Cette mise à jour du firmware ne s’applique pas
à tous les SSD Micron acquis seuls ou en tant que matériel de
première monte d’un ordinateur. Les mises à jour de firmware de
ces disques là seront, le cas échéant, fournies par le fabricant de
l’ordinateur ou seront disponibles sur www.micron.com. Cette
mise à jour du firmware ne concerne pas n’importe quel disque
Micron RealSSD C300. De même, elle ne doit pas être utilisée
pour un SED (Self Encrypting Drive) Micron RealSSD C400. Cette
mise à jour s’applique uniquement aux disques m4 2,5” et ne
doit pas être utilisée pour mettre à jour des disques m4 mSATA.
AVERTISSEMENT : Comme pour toutes mises à jour, il est
fortement recommandé de sauvegarder ou de copier tous vos
fichiers importants auparavant. Cette procédure de mise à jour
du firmware s’effectue sous votre seule responsabilité. Si elle
est exécutée correctement, il n’y aura aucune perte de données
système ou utilisateur présentes sur le disque. Toutefois, une
interruption de la mise à jour, quelle qu’en soit l’origine, peut
entraîner le dysfonctionnement de votre SSD. Si cette mise à
jour est appliquée sur un ordinateur portable, il est fortement
recommandé de le brancher en secteur pendant la procédure.
Instructions générales
Procédez aux opérations suivantes avant de démarrer la
procédure de mise à jour du firmware :
1. Sauvegarde du contenu du SSD
Il est fortement recommandé de procéder à une sauvegarde
complète du système avant de démarrer cette mise à jour
du firmware. Si la procédure de mise à jour est interrompue
(coupure d’alimentation ou défaillance matérielle de
toute nature), il est possible que le SSD ne fonctionne pas
correctement.
2. Utiliser une alimentation CA
Veillez à ce que votre ordinateur portable ou de bureau soit
relié à une alimentation CA pendant la mise à jour. Il est
déconseillé de n’utiliser que la batterie pendant la procédure.
Ne débranchez l’alimentation à aucun moment de la procédure
de mise à jour du firmware car cela pourrait aboutir à un
déroulement incomplet de celle-ci et donc, rendre le SSD
inutilisable.
3. Désactiver/supprimer les mots de passe associés au disque
La protection par mots de passe, comme le cryptage du disque
contenant le SE ou les mots de passe du BIOS, peut bloquer
les mises à jour du firmware. Le cryptage du disque peut être
désactivé via le SE ou le logiciel de cryptage. Pour désactiver
un mot de passe de BIOS, vous devez éditer les paramètres
de votre BIOS. Veuillez consulter le manuel utilisateur de votre
ordinateur pour savoir comment procéder. Entrez dans le BIOS
(généralement en appuyant sur les touches « Suppr », « F2 »
ou « F12 » au démarrage de l’ordinateur) et désactivez tous les
mots de passe éventuellement associés au SSD.
4. Mettre à jour Microsoft .NET Framework
Pour être compatible avec Windows 7 et 8, cet utilitaire de
mise à jour du firmware a été conçu avec Microsoft .NET
Framework 4. Il se peut que certains utilisateurs de Windows
7 doivent mettre à jour leur version de .NET Framework pour
exécuter cet utilitaire. Si le message d’erreur suivant apparaît
à l’exécution de l’utilitaire de mise à jour, veuillez mettre à jour
.NET Framework via Windows Update.

• Bien que tout ait été mis enœuvre pourtesterla compatibilité
de ce logiciel avec différentes configurations de systèmes
et de jeux de composants, il est impossible de procéder à
des essais sur tous les systèmes existants. Par conséquent,
certains systèmes (anciens par exemple) peuvent se heurter
des problèmes de compatibilité.
• Si vous rencontrez des difficultés après le redémarrage de
l’utilitaire, vérifiez que vous avez désactivé tous les mots de
passe du BIOS.
• Si votre disque m4 n’est pas reconnu lors de l’étape 8 du
paragraphe « Lancez la mise à jour du firmware », il peut
s’avérer nécessaire d’exécuter cette mise à jour en mode
IDE et non AHCI, sur certains systèmes anciens. Si un
basculement du mode IDE ou AHCI est nécessaire, il peut
falloir redémarrer le système au moyen d’un support externe
tel qu’un CD-ROM amorçable. Des instructions d’exécution
de la mise à jour 040H à partir d’un support amorçable sont
disponibles sur la page d’assistance consacrée aux SSD
http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx
• Certains systèmes empêchent les mises à jour de firmware
en mode RAID. Dans ce cas, le basculement en mode AHCI
ou IDE peut aider à terminer la mise à jour. Toutes les
configurations RAID devraient être conservées après la mise
à jour, lorsque le système rebascule en mode RAID mais
vérifiez ceci dans le manuel utilisateur de votre système
avant de démarrer la procédure.
• Les cartes RAID périphériques ne transmettront pas les
commandes nécessaires aux mises à jour du firmware. Il
se peut que vous deviez déplacer le disque cible sur un
adaptateur de bus hôte SATA ou un connecteur SATA de la
carte mère qui facilite ces commandes.
• Cet utilitaire de mise à jour du firmware peut ne pas
fonctionner sur des ordinateurs fixes, portables ou des
tablettes disposant d’une interface UEFI. Nous mettrons
à disposition un outil de mise à jour séparé qui prendra
en charge les mises à jour du firmware sous UEFI (Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface).

Notes de version du firmware
Le firmware du SSD m4 a été mis à jour de la version 010G
à 040H.
Le firmware 040H est recommandé pour tous les disques
disposant de la version 010G, ou précédentes. Il comporte
des améliorations et corrections cumulatives par rapport à
ces versions, susceptibles d’améliorer l’expérience utilisateur
globale.
Comme le firmware 010G, la version 040H contient des
améliorations par rapport à la version 000F et aux révisions
précédentes, notamment pour les systèmes sous Windows
8 et les nouveaux UltraBook, même si des améliorations
peuvent également être constatées sur les systèmes sous
Windows 7 et autres systèmes d’exploitation. Toute version
du firmware du m4 fonctionnera normalement sous Windows
8, même sans ces améliorations de fonctionnement.
Voici un résumé des différences entre la version 010G et
040H, quel que soit le système d’exploitation :
• Amélioration de la fiabilité en cas de coupure d’alimentation
inattendue.* Réduction significative des effets de durées de
redémarrage prolongées après une coupure d’alimentation
inattendue.
• Correction d’un problème concernant le statut du lecteur
lors de l’exécution du test SMART Drive Self Test (n’affecte
pas les données d’attribut SMART).
• Amélioration du processus de mise à jour pour Windows 8.
• Amélioration des algorithmes de gestion de l’usure du SSD
afin de réduire leur influence sur les débits.
* Une « coupure d’alimentation inattendue » lorsqu’une
coupure d’alimentation n’est pas précédée d’une commande
ATA de VEILLE IMMÉDIATE ou autre commande identique. La
VEILLE IMMÉDIATE est une commande système qui avertit
le dispositif de stockage d’une coupure d’alimentation
imminente ou d’un passage en modes basse consommation
tels que la VEILLE ou VEILLE PROLONGÉE. Généralement, la
VEILLE IMMÉDIATE ne se déclenche pas quand la coupure
d’alimentation est due à une coupure de connexion électrique,
une batterie épuisée ou au maintien du bouton Power pendant
au moins 4 secondes. Bien que le nouveau firmware réduise
significativement le risque, ce type de coupures d’alimentation
inattendues peuvent entraîner un temps de redémarrage plus
long à la mise sous tension suivante. D’un autre côté, un
arrêt normal sur un système Windows ou Mac déclenchera la
commande VEILLE IMMÉDIATE auparavant, permettant ainsi
un démarrage sans encombre lors de sa remise sous tension.

Introduction
Ce document décrit le processus de mise à jour du
microprogramme sur l’unité Crucial m4 SSD en utilisant votre
fonction de mise à jour Windows. La fonction est un seul fichier
exécutable qui contient tous les codes nécessaires pour faire
une mise à jour. La création d’une unité amorçable séparée n’est
pas nécessaire.
Ce programme peut être utilisé pour la mise à jour du
Microprogramme de Révisions 0001, 0002, 0009, 0309 ou 000F
vers Révision 010G.
ATTENTION : Cette mise à jour pour microprogramme
ne s’applique pas à toute unité Micron SSD qui a été achetée
séparément ou comme équipement d’origine dans le système
informatique. Toute mise à jour pour microprogramme pour
une telle unité sera mise à disposition, si besoin, par le fabricant
de l’ordinateur ou sur www.micron.com. Cette mise à jour pour
microprogramme ne s’applique pas aux unités Micron RealSSD
C300. La mise à jour ne devrait pas être utilisée non plus pour
toute unité Micron RealSSD C400 Self Encrypting Drive (SED)
[Unité Auto-Encryptage]. Cette mise à jour est uniquement
destinée aux unités 2.5’’ m4 et ne devrait pas être utilisée pour
mettre à jour des unités mSATA m4.
AVERTISSEMENT : Comme pour toute mise à jour pour
microprogramme, il est fortement recommandé de faire
une sauvegarde ou des copies des fichiers importants avant
d’exécuter cette mise à jour. L’exécution de la mise à jour pour
microprogramme est entièrement à votre risque. Si exécutée
correctement, le système ou les données sur l’unité ne seront
pas perdus. Cependant, si le processus est interrompu, votre
unité SSD peut ne pas fonctionner correctement. Si cette mise
à jour est effectuée sur un ordinateur notebook, il est fortement
recommandé d’utiliser un adaptateur courant alternatif pour
alimenter l’ordinateur en électricité.
Instructions Générales
Complétez les étapes suivantes avant de démarrer le
processus de mise à jour pour microprogramme :
1. Faire une sauvegarde de l’unité SSD
Il est fortement recommandé de faire une sauvegarde

d’équipement…), il est possible que l’unité SSD ne fonctionne
pas correctement.
2. Utiliser du courant alternatif
Assurez-vous que votre ordinateur portable ou PC est
alimenté avec du courant alternatif pendant le processus de
mise à jour. Il n’est pas recommandé d’utiliser uniquement
la batterie pendant la mise à jour. Ne coupez pas le courant
pendant le processus de mise à jour pour microprogramme
car ceci pourrait donner un résultat incomplet et rendre votre
unité SSD inutilisable.
3. Désactiver/Supprimer les Mots de passe sur l’Unité
La protection par mot de passe, comme l’encryptage sur unité
OS ou des mots de passe au niveau BIOS, peuvent bloquer les
mises à jour du microprogramme. L’encryptage de l’unité peut
être désactivé dans l’OS ou l’outil de logiciel que vous utilisez
pour l’encryptage. Pour désactiver un mot de passe BIOS, il faut
régler les paramètres BIOS sur votre ordinateur. Consultez le
mode d’emploi de votre ordinateur pour les détails concernant
le réglage de ces paramètres. Rentrez le BIOS (normalement
en appuyant sur « Supprimer », « F2 » ou « F12 » pendant le
démarrage de l’écran) et désactivez tout mot de passe que
vous avez pu programmer sur l’unité SSD.
4. Mise à jour Microsoft.NET Framework
Afin de pouvoir être compatible avec Windows 7 et Windows
8, cet outil de mise à jour pour microprogramme est construit

• Malgré des efforts faits pour tester la compatibilité de ce
logiciel avec des configurations de différents systèmes
et de jeux de composants, il n’est pas possible de tester
tout système disponible. Certains systèmes (par ex. des
systèmes plus anciens) peuvent donc avoir des problèmes
de compatibilité.
• Si vous avez des problèmes après la réinitialisation de l’outil,
vérifiez que vous avez bien désactivé les mots de passe
BIOS sur l’unité.
• Si votre unité RealSSD m4 n’est pas reconnue pendant
l’étape 8 de la section « Exécuter la Mise à jour pour
Microprogramme » ci-dessus, il peut être nécessaire
d’exécuter cette mise à jour sur certains systèmes plus
anciens en mode IDE au lieu du mode AHCI. Quand vous
devez changer le système en mode IDE ou AHCI, il peut être
nécessaire de réinitialiser le système en utilisant un média
externe comme un CD-ROM amorçable. Des instructions
pour exécuter la mise à jour 010G à partir des médias
amorçables sont disponibles sur la page SSD Support sur
http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx
• Certains systèmes bloquent une mise à jour pour
microprogramme quand en mode RAID. Dans ce cas,
changer en mode AHCI ou IDE peut aider à compléter le
processus de mise à jour. Toute configuration RAID doit
être préservée après la mise à jour pour quand le système
est à nouveau mis en mode RAID, mais vérifiez le mode
d’emploi pour votre système avant de continuer.
• Des cartes périphériques RAID ne font pas passer les
commandes nécessaires pour exécuter des mises à jour
pour microprogramme. Vous devez peut-être déplacer
l’unité cible vers un adaptateur de bus hôte SATA ou
un connecteur SATA sur la carte-mère qui accepte ces
commandes.
• Cetoutil demise à jour pourmicroprogramme ne fonctionne
peut-être pas correctement sur des PCs, notebooks ou
tablettes avec BIOS-UEFI. Nous proposerons un outil de
mise à jour séparément qui accepte les mises à jour pour
microprogramme avec UEFI [interface micrologicielle

Notes de Publication pour
Microprogramme
Le microprogramme pour l’unité SSD m4 est mis à jour de la
version 000F vers la version 010G.
Microprogramme 010G est une option pour toute personne
qui utilise actuellement la version 000F comme la nouvelle
version comprend des améliorations incrémentales mais est
recommandé si l’utilisateur a eu des problèmes avec la version
actuelle.
La version 010G comprend des améliorations spécifiques
pour Windows 8 et des nouveaux systèmes UltraBook, même
si Windows 7 et d’autres systèmes et des plates-formes
informatiques peuvent également voir des améliorations.
Toute version m4 pour microprogramme fonctionnera
normalement dans Windows 8. Cependant, les améliorations
suivantes ont été ajoutées pour répondre aux nouvelles
exigences de certification pour ce système d’exploitation :
Améliorations pour Windows 8
• Meilleur Time-to-ready (« TTR ») après un cycle
de détente. TTR est maintenant moins de 850
millisecondes pour tous les points de capacité. Un «
cycle de détente » est une séquence OFF-ON suite à
une commande STANDBY IMMEDIATE envoyée par
l’hôte et acceptée par l’unité SSD. STANDBY IMMEDIATE
est typiquement envoyée durant une mise à l’arrêt du
système d’exploitation.
• Ce changement améliore également le temps resumefrom-sleep
afin de répondre aux nouvelles exigences
Windows 8.
• Le temps de réponse a été réduit de 50ms à 20ms
(typique).
Consommation d’électricité améliorée pour certains
ordinateurs notebook
• HIPM (Host Initiated Power Management) n’est plus
accepté. Dans certains ordinateurs notebook, HIPM
peut interférer avec la capacité de SSD de rentrer et
de rester dans des modes basse consommation en
utilisant DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management).
Utiliser DIPM seul est la méthode la plus efficace pour
conserver la puissance SSD.
• SATA pin 11 (Device Activity Signal) est électroniquement
isolé de l’hôte quand l’unité SSD est en mode basse
consommation. Ceci élimine une voie de fuite
potentielle qui peut consommer de l’électricité pendant
que l’unité SSD soit en veille. Ceci n’affecte pas la
plupart des systèmes informatiques.

Summary
This white paper addresses the energy consumption of DRAM in computing applications and the
opportunities to maximize energy savings by targeting more efficient products for data center servers.
Micron estimates module power savings at 24 percent; this has the potential to achieve energy savings
of 5.5 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) on a global basis annually. At typical industrial power costs1 ($0.06
per kWh), the savings are more than $300 million per year.

The power demands of data centers require memory innovationsThe power demands of data centers require memory innovations
Introduction
The U.S. EPA Energy Star program is conducting a study to assess opportunities for energy efficiency
improvements to computer servers and data centers2. This is in response to Public Law 109-431, which
was passed and signed into law December 20, 20063. This legislation requires an investigation down to
the microchip level. As a manufacturer of semiconductor memory products used in server systems, Micron
intends to proactively address these opportunities.
Justification
A recent study conducted by Dr. Jonathan Koomey4 with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL)
and funded by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), illustrated the significant and growing energy use by
data centers. Data centers are rooms, floors or sometimes entire buildings that house computer, storage,
and networking equipment. Data centers can serve up Web pages, stream media, enable Internet access,
and run simulations of any kind of research. They can also provide computing power for traditional and
private uses like banking or other financial transactions.
The computers in data centers, called servers, are similar to PCs in that they have the same basic
microchips—the CPU and memory. Unlike PCs, servers in data centers are packed together as densely
as possible and use substantial amounts of electricity, the majority of which ends up in the form of heat,
which then must be removed from the servers. The power delivery to the systems is provided through
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that are not 100 percent efficient and also produce copious amounts
of heat as well. The heat must be carefully and continuously managed to keep the systems running within
their specified operating temperature and humidity ranges. Regardless of the type and efficiency of the
cooling system, the heat must be removed from the data center in one way or another. To do so requires
additional energy be used to operate the cooling infrastructure.

The data centers’ incremental
overhead power consumption
due to inefficiencies and
cooling is estimated to be
equal to the amount that is
consumed by servers, storage,
and networkingIntroduction
The data centers’ incremental overhead power consumption due to inefficiencies and cooling is estimated
to be equal to the amount that is consumed by servers, storage, and networking. The user of a single PC,
workstation, or laptop doesn’t see system heat generation ias a concern, but for data centers, managing
the overhead is as important as the servers themselves. If system power is reduced, then the available
overhead can handle a greater IT load and perform more useful work in the same power envelope.
The Role Memory Plays in the Challenges of Servers and Energy Use
The memory content in servers has been growing at a rapid pace and is expected to continue to do so
for a variety of reasons. In general, software with more functionality requires both greater computational
ability as well as a larger memory footprint. However, some factors are more applicable to servers than
PCs.
First is the proliferation of multi-core CPUs executing single-threaded applications. Each thread requires
its own memory space, therefore doubling the number of CPU cores requires doubling the memory. A
recent seminar5 on server design cited this rule of thumb:
1GB per (1 GHz × # cores)
This equation reinforces the idea that each CPU core mandates an increase in memory space. Another
factor driving memory content growth and server power consumption is the adoption of virtualization
technologies. A server running a virtualized environment is able to achieve a higher utilization which, in
turn, increases the total power consumption of the server. Once again, the importance of energy efficient
component selection increases. By analogy, a car will burn very little fuel if it isn’t driven. Virtualization, or
anything that increases server operation, is like adding a new driver to the mix. Now the car gets driven
more and energy efficiency becomes a greater concern.
Traditionally, the CPU has been the component that consumes the most power in the system. Improvements
in CPU power consumption now place a greater scrutiny on the other components. Where memory once
played a distant second to CPUs in the ranking of system power consumption, now, in some cases, it
exceeds the power consumption of the CPU.

Energy Efficient Memory Advantages
Micron’s new energy efficient Aspen Memory® product line includes several new products that have a
lower power consumption compared to legacy standard products. These technologies are intended for
use in both client machines—PCs, laptops, workstations—as well as in servers.
The new products are 1Gb-based, DDR2 reduced chip count (RCC) modules; and 1.5V DDR2 FBDIMMs.
The 1.5V DDR2 SDRAM operates at 1.5V instead of 1.8V. The 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC modules provide the
same memory capacity and performance as a DIMM built using legacy (currently 512Mb) devices, but
use half as many higher density (1Gb) DRAM devices (see Appendix A for product details). The combined
savings of these two technologies is estimated to be 24 percent of the memory DIMM power consumption.
For reasons previously cited, extrapolating the savings to the system level is difficult; instead, we have
directly measured power savings at the power supply input of the server under test.
Under minimum and maximum loading conditions and using commercially available systems, Micron
has measured between 1.5 to 1.8 watts per 2GB DIMM improvement in power consumption when
comparing standard legacy products to 1Gb-based, DDR2 reduced chip count DIMMs.
Measurements made in a lab environment using modified commercial hardware with the adaptations
required to support 1.5V DDR2 on FBDIMMs show power reductions in the 1.5 to 2.0 watts per 4GB 1.5V
DIMM attributed only to the DRAM. Additional power savings could be possible using a low-voltage
advanced memory buffer (AMB) chip, which is also on the FBDIMM.
For the purpose of the analyses that follow, it is necessary to convert these savings into a percentage
basis. We will assume a conservative 24 percent DIMM-level savings for the 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC
DIMM and 1.5V DDR2 SDRAM.

Data Centers and Energy Use
According to Dr. Koomey’s report, data center servers consumed 616 billion kWh worldwide in 2005. The
historical growth rate of this figure has been 15 percent annually from the year 2000 to 2005.
Estimating the power consumption attributed to memory is a difficult challenge. A computer system has
multiple memory sockets that can be fully or partially populated with memory modules, and the memory
module density can also vary. In addition to these physical variations, the portion of power attributed to
memory also depends on the type of workload and memory utilization. Certainly, further study is needed
in this area. For the purpose of this paper we are going to assume memory accounts for 20 percent7 of
the total system power budget in a server. The reader can adjust this assumption
as needed.
Micron has come up with an alternative method for estimating DRAM power consumption (summarized
here; details in Appendix C). This method incorporates analysts’ data to estimate the total DRAM
production in a given year and the DRAM consumption by market segment. This method also makes
assumptions regarding hours of operation as well as system utilization to estimate power consumption
and potential savings. (Figure 2 provides the estimate for calendar year 2008.)
The production of DRAM is quantified in terms of 512Mb equivalent units. For example, a single 1Gb
DRAM is equivalent to two 512Mb devices. First, we divide the market into three categories: server, client,
and other. The client-machine category includes desktops, laptops, and workstations. The other category
is a catch-all for non-computing markets and is not considered in this analysis. Given these market
segments, it’s apparent that the client market consumes four times as many DRAM equivalent units as
the server market.
Next, we consider the hours of operation and system utilization on an annual basis. Servers operate 24
hours a day, 7 days a week; client machines operate approximately 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Server
utilization is assumed to be 15 percent; client, 5 percent. By applying the usage model to each DRAM
market, we conclude that despite the four-to-one difference in shipments, the DRAM in servers consumes
more power than all DRAM in the client machines.

Next, we consider the total available 1Gb DRAM which could be used to build the 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC
DIMMs (see Appendix A for RCC details). For 2008, all 1Gb DRAM production is estimated to be enough
to provide for 98 percent of the total demand for servers or 24 percent of the total demand for client
machines. Finally, we look at the potential power savings for all the 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC DIMMs if they
were installed into either client machines or servers.
When we analyze this power-savings comparison, we see that although the DIMM power requirements
and potential savings are identical in either application, the cumulative energy savings is substantial for
the server market due the longer hours of operation and higher utilization factors of server platforms. In
this example, 462 million kWh energy savings would be achieved for energy efficient DRAM devices sold
this year. This approach would conserve 2.3 billion kWh over a five-year product lifecycle.

Comparing the Two Methods
Let’s attempt to correlate the two estimation methods. First we need to look at the differences so we
can compensate accordingly. The first method is based on data from 2005 and assumes both 1Gb-based,
DDR2 RCC DIMMs and 1.5V devices are placed into the installed base. The second method is based on
data for 2008 and assumes only 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC DIMMs are used (see figure below).
To extrapolate from 2005 to 2008, we will assume a 15 percent annual growth rate consistent with the
previous five years. As a first approximation we will assume that the savings from 1.5V DDR2 devices
and 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC modules are equal. As shown below, both methods demonstrate 4.5 billion
kWh annual potential savings for DRAM in servers. The aggregate data center energy savings would
be doubled when considering the incremental overhead and cooling energy costs. Alternately, instead
of reducing power consumption, these savings could be used to support more IT equipment within the
existing infrastructure, resulting in better asset utilization and deferring the need for new data center
construction.

Conclusion
This paper brings together three important findings for memory with respect to energy consumption in
computing applications. First, we highlight the growing memory content per server due to the increasing
deployment of multi-core CPUs. We also discuss the relative importance of memory as CPUs and other
sub-assemblies are being optimized for lower energy consumption. Second, we demonstrate two methods
for estimating the energy consumption and potential savings of DRAM in both the general computing
market and data centers. This also reinforces the idea that the greatest opportunity for power savings is
in data center applications due to servers’ high utilization. Finally, we show how a significant reductions
in power consumption can be achieved by adopting high-density 1Gb-based, DDR2 reduced chip count
modules with 1.5V DDR2 SDRAM devices.

Appendix A: Product Availability
Micron has introduced a product line which features products that are optimized for low power
consumption and have superior performance compared to standard products.
1.5V DDR2 Devices
The 1.5V DDR2, DIMMs, and motherboards that can use this technology are currently under development.
Please contact Micron for the latest status.
1Gb-based, DDR2 Reduced Chip Count DIMMs
Currently, 1Gb-based, DDR2 reduced chip count modules are available for a wide range of computer
applications. These 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC modules provide the same memory capacity and performance
as a DIMM built using legacy (currently 512Mb) devices while using half as many higher density (1Gb)
DRAM chips.
For existing systems that can address 1Gb DRAM technology, the 1Gb-based, DDR2 RCC modules should
easily work. Systems that use registered DIMMs or fully buffered DIMMs (FBDIMMs) and can support a
4GB density should be able to use 2GB reduced chip count DIMMs, which are built using the same 1Gb
DRAM technology.
Some systems require DIMMs to be installed in matched pairs. For these systems, pairing a reduced chip
count DIMM with a standard DIMM could reduce system performance or possibly cause the system to
stop functioning. Oftentimes, a memory upgrade or a firmware or BIOS update will solve the problem.

Derivation from LBL/AMD8
White Paper
Calculating energy use and potential energy savings has not yet become a standard practice for data
centers. Because of this, many calculations for determining actual energy use can be inaccurate. This
situation is further complicated by the fact that power equipment efficiency is commonly calculated as
the difference between power out and power in.
Power consumed by memory in servers varies significantly depending on many factors. The two primary
factors are the memory capacity of the server relative to the power consumed by the rest of the system
and the second factor is the actual amount of memory installed. We assume 20 percent of the power is
consumed by memory.
61 billion × 0.2 = 12 billion kWh
By implementing 1.5V chips in reduced chip count server modules, data centers could reduce system
memory power consumption by approximately 24 percent, which would be a reduction of 2.9 billion
kWh.
12 billion × 0.24 = 2.9 billion kWh

Assuming a power cost of $0.06 per kWh a 24 percent drop in power consumption translates into an
average annual savings of $0.174 billion ($174 million)9.
2.9 billion × 0.06 = $174 million > ~$150 million
Including the savings in overhead power raises this to 5.8 billion kWh and more than ~$300 million,
respectively.
Appendix C:
DRAM Energy Consumption Based on Manufacturing and Market
Another method for determining total energy consumption focuses on cumulative DRAM production and
the applications into which DRAM is placed. According to market analysts although 13.5 percent of total
DRAM gets placed into servers; the majority—54 percent—goes into workstations, PCs, and laptops
(client machines). (The remainder goes into market segments not covered in this paper.)
A typical client machine is operated approximately eight hours a day, five days a week. Utilization of
clients is typically cited at 5 percent. Many government regulatory agencies have instituted energy
efficiency requirements, with EnergyStar in the United States as one such example. Given these factors,
the total energy consumed by DRAM in client machines is reasonably low, even when the power switch is
on throughout the day. Compare that to a typical server in a data center that is powered on twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week. Utilization of servers is typically cited at about 15 percent. Table 2 shows
the difference in total DRAM power consumption between client and server machines.
©2008 Micron Technology, Inc. All rights reserved 11The power demands of data centers require memory innovations
TABLE 2: Use Percentages of Client Machines and Servers
Note: Client machines limited to desktop, laptop, and workstations.
In Table 2, total power equals the sum of :
Percent of DRAM market × [Power-on hours
× [%Utilization × DIMM Power (Utilized)
+ (1-%Utilization) × DIMM Power (Idle)]]
Table 2 shows that, although client machines have four times more DRAM than servers, the total
DRAM power consumed by servers is nearly equal, if not slightly higher, than power consumed by client
machines. Initially, the implications might not be apparent. Of course, putting more energy efficient
DRAM in either application will save power. The problem, however, is that advanced, energy efficient
DRAM technology is not widely available. Given the limited availability, the question is what is the best
use of what little is available?
To determine what is available, we need to examine the total worldwide production of advanced DRAM
products. Market analyst data in Table 3 shows the distribution of forecasted DRAM production and use
for 2007 and 2008.

4. Calculated.
5. Maximum savings assumes all 1Gb DRAM goes into this market segment.
The key will be the availability of 1Gb DRAM within the 2007-2008 time frame. A 1Gb DRAM built on
advanced process technology will have power consumption on par with a 512Mb device built on older
processes. The 1Gb DRAM enables a 2GB DIMM to be built using 18 chips rather than the 36 chips
required with 512Mb DRAM.
Table 3 projects that in 2007, 1Gb DRAM shipments will only be 4 percent of total production, but will
increase in 2008 to 13 percent. Since the server market is roughly one-fourth the size of the client market,
it is possible to achieve a much higher market penetration in the server market. In 2008 the available 1Gb
DRAM will be large enough to service 98 percent of the projected demand for servers.
The client machines’ low power-on hours and low utilization shown in Table 2, combined with the market
size estimates in Table 3, indicate a baseline power consumption 109MW in 2008. However, since the
available 1Gb DRAM could only serve 24 percent of the total client machine market, the potential savings
would be 13.28MW.

Units 2007 2008 NotesBy comparison, the available 1Gb DRAM could serve 98 percent of the total server market. Applying
the same mathematical computation as before produces a power savings of 66.1MW—a difference of
52MW. Significant power savings is achieved simply by channeling a scarce DRAM resource into a market
segment where utilization is the highest.
These results represent a reduction of 0.463B kWh for equipment installed during 2008. If we assume
this represents only one-fifth of data center servers, and if we extrapolate that to the entire installed
base, we find the estimated savings would be 2.3B kWh. This estimate only assumes reduced chip count
technology; adding in 1.5V DDR2 FBDIMMs would add another 2.3B KWh, which brings the total annual
IT load savings to 4.6B kWh.
Finally, when the overhead power consumption is added into the mix, an equal amount of overhead
energy can be saved with regard to reduced cooling, supply inefficiencies, etc. In other words, another
4.6B kWh could be saved, bringing the total potential savings to more than 9B kWh annually.
Currently, the effective service life of servers is five years or longer due to the depreciation schedule
imposed by Internal Revenue Service. Dr. Koomey’s report indicates a server life of three to five years.
Micron’s investigation revealed on a limited dataset that if a server was no longer capable of meeting
customer requirements inside the 5 year schedule, it would be repurposed for a less intensive workload.
Thus, most servers can be expected to run for a minimum of five years, with many running much longer.
In contrast, client machines are typically expensed or depreciated on a shorter service life schedule.

EZ Gig’s Data Select feature provides a simple method to deselect data
folders from the cloning process which is helpful when migrating from a
large HDD to a smaller SSD and perfect for creating a Boot Disk. This
gives you the option to run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller
SSD boot drive, while keeping your documents and media files on your
original hard drive.
There are two ways to get to the Data Select feature:
1. If the Destination drive is smaller than the Source drive, EZ Gig
will direct you to the below screen. To deselect files from the
clone click the “Data Select” button, this will open the Data Select
feature.
2. On the “You are almost ready to Clone” screen, you may press
the “Data Select” button to open the Data Select feature.www.apricorn.com 13
Using the Data Select feature
The Data Select feature shows the capacity of the:
• Destination Drive
• Source Drive
• Available Capacity
If the Source drive is smaller than the Destination drive, the available
capacity will be highlighted in orange and shown as a negative value.
EZ Gig will only proceed with a clone if the available capacity is positive
(i.e. the Destination capacity is larger than the Source capacity.)
In order to decrease the size of the clone (i.e. the Source image), EZ Gig
enables you to deselect files from the cloning process to save space.
The files you may deselect from the cloning process are from the folders:
1. Documents
2. My Videos
3. My Music
4. My Pictures14 www.apricorn.com

HotCopy / LiveImage
Allows or denies EZ Gig access to the Windows shadow copy mechanism.
If this option is deselected, EZ Gig is not able to create copies or file
images of the system volume or of volumes, which are used by other
programs at the same time.
Avoid exclusive read access
Usually, EZ Gig when running on Windows, at first tries to reserve the
source drive for exclusive access. This is the most reliable way for creating
an identical copy, but it may interfere with other programs running at the
same time. If this option is selected, EZ Gig tries to create a HotCopy or a
LiveImage at first.www.apricorn.com 19
Partitions
When used in the Default mode, EZ Gig will automatically resize your
partitions according to the new hard drive space.
However, EZ Gig also gives the option of keeping your partition sizes the
same or allows you to resize your partition sizes manually.20 www.apricorn.com
Resizing your partitions manually
To resize your partition manually:
1. Choose the “Manually” radio button on the “Advanced Options”
window.
2. Once this radio button is selected, click the “Apply Changes” button.
The “Adjust Partitions” window (shown left) will pop up.
Positions and sizes of the partitions to be copied to the Destination
drive are displayed graphically in a bar. The original size of the
partition is displayed in dark green, while the additionally assigned
space is displayed in light green. The size of partitions displayed in
black cannot be altered. Free space not yet assigned to any partition
is displayed in white.
3. To resize, click the desired partition’s extended space (light green
portion) and drag with your mouse. You can also use the [+] and [-]
cursor keys to the same effect.
4. Once you have resized the partitions to the desired size, choose “Apply
Adjustment” which will then close the window.
5. Once the “Adjust Partition” window is closed, close the “Advanced
Options” window by clicking the “Close Window” button.www.apricorn.com 21
Start Clone
Now you’re ready!
Press the “Start Clone” button to start the cloning process.
EZ Gig will keep you up-to-date with the status of the clone throughout the
entire process with a progress bar and percentage completed. Depending
on your system size a clone can take anywhere from several minutes to a
couple of hours.22 www.apricorn.com
Aborting the Cloning Process
Interupting the Verification process
If you chose the “Verify Copy” option before starting the clone, EZ Gig will
automatically compare the information on the “Source” and “Destination”
drives once the clone is complete. If this process is interupted or stopped
at anytime, the aborted verification run will have no influence on the copied
data. The copy itself is already finished at that point of time.
When the final report is read, EZ Gig will report that the clone is only
partially verified.
Interupting the Cloning Process
If the cloning process aborted, a new clone must be commenced.
The cloning process can be stopped at anytime using the “Stop” button.
Continue cloning by clicking “Continue copying”. To stop the clone
completely, select “Abort copying.”www.apricorn.com 23
Congratulations your Clone is Complete
Once your clone is complete, EZ Gig will let you know with a pop up
window. To get a report of the cloning process, click the “Details” button.
The final report will outline
the number of sector
copied, read errors, write
errors and if verified, will
also report verification
errors.
Once you have finished
your clone, click “Quit
EZ Gig”. You will then
be prompted to turn
your computer off and
disconnect the attached
hard drive.24 www.apricorn.com
FAQs
Load errors
During the start of the program, before EZ Gig is loaded itself, a message
and a progress bar will appear on the boot screen. In case of an error, one
of the following error codes will be indicated here.
Error #5002 and ‘Disk error’
This error will be displayed if the boot medium is not readable when
booting the program. The error is reported by the BIOS of the computer
and points to a defective data carrier or a problem with the used boot
drive. In many cases, in particular when booting from a floppy disk, an
incompatibility between drive and data carrier is the cause. Principally
this problem can be fixed. Please try the following steps, at best in the
indicated order:
• Try again to boot the program, perhaps with/without cold start.
• Create once again a bootable disk (page 7).
• Floppy disk: format the floppy disk (no quick format) before
creating a new one.
• Floppy disk: use another floppy disk.
• Use (if possible) another boot drive.
NOTE: If you didn’t receive EZ Gig as an installation package but on a
bootable disk and if a disk shows this problems also after multiple trials on
different devices, please contact Support.
Keyboard and mouse
EZ Gig supports keyboards and mice with PS/2 standard or USB
connector. This also includes many wireless mice, given they are
connected as a true USB device. Input devices connected with Bluetooth
are currently not supported. In this case, please connect a separate USB
device. If keyboard or mouse (or both) do not function with EZ Gig, this is
usually due to a wrong legacy emulation setting in BIOS setup. On most
computers, you can fix this problem by changing (activating or deactivating,
depending on the current setting) the emulation for PS/2 devices in BIOS
setup. Please consult your computer manual on how to change this setting
since it may be named differently according to the respective BIOS. In
most of the cases, you can find it under the name USB Legacy Support or
USB Keyboard Support (often under Integrated Peripherals or Advanced
Options).www.apricorn.com 25
NOTE: In some of the cases, problems with the PS/2 keyboard and/or
mouse occurred with an activated emulation for PS/2 devices. If you do not
use any USB input de-vices, please switch off the PS/2 emulation in the
BIOS setup.
General problems
Slowed down system
If you think the speed of the total system or the copying speed – also with
IDE and SCSI devices – is too slow, a USB controller can be the cause,
even if it is not used.
Read, write and verification errors
If EZ Gig reports errors, these are usually defective areas on the
respective medium. However, general problems with the hardware
can possibly also cause (putative) read and write errors. This is mostly
noticeable by a very high number of displayed errors. First of all, try
to fix the problem via the help instructions for the respective hardware
types (IDE, SCSI, USB) because the causes are usually found there. If
the problems cannot be fixed this way either, deactivate step by step the
following options, at best in the indicated order:
• CachedMemory
• Read cache and write cache
• FastCopy
• DMA
• SharedMemory
If the problem does not occur any more after having deactivated a certain
option, the previously deactivated options can be reactivated as a test.
IDE/ATA/SATA
Hard disk not recognized
If EZ Gig does not recognize a hard disk, there can be several reasons.
Perhaps the controller which the disk is connected to has not been found
(See next section: IDE controller not found). A further possible reason can
be a non-standardly connected hard disk. This is for example the case if
a hard disk is configured as slave and if a CD/DVD drive or no drive at all
is connected at the same IDE channel as master. Normally, EZ Gig can
handle that, too.26 www.apricorn.com
NOTE: If an SATA hard disk is not recognized, this can also be due to the
used SATA controller.
IDE controller not found
There are the following three reasons why EZ Gig has not automatically
recognized an IDE controller:
• The IDE controller/channel is deactivated, e.g. on an onboard IDE
controller. Activate the IDE controller/channel via the BIOS setup.
• Standard IDE controllers (ISA) are not taken into account if PCI
IDE controllers are available. Connect the respective hard disk to a
PCI IDE controller in this case or deactivate the PCI IDE controller
or controllers.
• The used controller does not correspond to the PCI IDE standard.
Although most controllers support this standardized programming
interface, there are some controllers which have only a proprietary
programming interface. Connect the corresponding drives to
another controller (PCI IDE controller).
Source & Destination Size Differences
Equal Size
If source and target are of the same size, EZ Gig creates an absolutely
identical copy(clone). On this clone, all sectors on source and target, from
the first to the last sector, are 100% identical, provided that the process
was error-free.
Small to large
If the source is smaller than the target, EZ Gig copies only the data that
is available on the source. This data is copied from the beginning of the
source onto the beginning of the target medium. The area at the end of
the target medium, which is larger than the source, remains unaffected.
Apart from that the unaffected area remains possibly unused during a later
usage, such a copy is usually comparable to a real clone as far as the
capacity of use is concerned because the target contains entirely all data of
the source
Large to small
If the source is bigger than the target, EZ Gig will direct you to the Data
Select feature. EZ Gig’s Data Select provides a simple method to deselect
data folders from the cloning process. EZ Gig will only allow to proceed
with the clone, once the available capacity on the target drive is a positive
value.www.apricorn.com 27
Automatic troubleshooting
In case of occurring errors, EZ Gig tries to troubleshoot them the
best possible. If this is not possible, the errors will be mentioned in a
corresponding error statistic in the detailed report after the clone is
complete.
Intensive reading/writing
In case of read or write errors, EZ Gig uses different strategies in order
to still be able to read or write this data, if possible. The time used for
defective areas depends to a large extent on the respective medium.
According to the medium and its state, several seconds up to minutes can
be needed for the recovery trials. Therefore, it is recommended to always
activate the option SafeRescue because then handling defective sectors
takes place after the copying of all intact areas has been finished. The
process can then be aborted if it takes too long without losing the data of
the intact areas.
Read errors
During the copying process, read errors can only occur on the source
medium. EZ Gig then tries to read the defective areas immediately after
the termination of the copying process (with the option SafeRescue) with
the help of special data recovery strategies within a single troubleshooting
run. During the troubleshooting run, the number of the indicated read errors
can reduce according to the areas on the source medium, which could be
recovered.
NOTE: Read errors, that occur during the verification run, are not counted
as read errors but as verification errors.
Write errors
Write errors can only occur during the copying process and only on the
target medium. EZ Gig then tries to read the defective areas immediately
after the termination of the copying process (with the option SafeRescue)
with the help of special data recovery strategies within a proper
troubleshooting run. During the troubleshooting run, the number of the
indicated write errors can decrease according to the areas on the target
medium, which could be recovered.
Verification errors
When the option Verifying is activated, EZ Gig executes a verification run
after the copying process. A verification error is counted if the data of two
sectors on source and target do not correspond. Furthermore, read errors, 28 www.apricorn.com
which occur during the verification run in one or both of the areas to be
compared, are also counted as verification errors. Therefore, the number
of verification errors gives you absolute information on how exactly source
and target correspond to each other after the copying process. In case of
an error-free copying process, EZ Gig should not report any verification
errors and signalize a 100% conformity of source and target.30 www.apricorn.com

uPSD33xx
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The Turbo uPSD33xx Series combines a powerful
8051-based microcontroller with a flexible memory
structure, programmable logic, and a rich peripheral
mix to form an ideal embedded controller. At
its core is a fast 4-cycle 8032 MCU with a 6-byte
instruction prefetch queue (PFQ) and a 4-entry fully
associative branching cache (BC) to maximize
MCU performance, enabling loops of code in
smaller localities to execute extremely fast.
Code development is easily managed without a
hardware In-Circuit Emulator by using the serial
JTAG debug interface. JTAG is also used for InSystem
Programming (ISP) in as little as 10 seconds,
perfect for manufacturing and lab development.
The 8032 core is coupled to Programmable
System Device (PSD) architecture to optimize the
8032 memory structure, offering two independent
banks of Flash memory that can be placed at virtually
any address within 8032 program or data address
space, and easily paged beyond 64K bytes
using on-chip programmable decode logic. Dual
Flash memory banks provide a robust solution for
remote product updates in the field through In-Application
Programming (IAP). Dual Flash banks
also support EEPROM emulation, eliminating the
need for external EEPROM chips. General purpose
programmable logic (PLD) is included to
build an endless variety of glue-logic, saving external
logic devices. The PLD is configured using the
software development tool, PSDsoft Express,
available from the web at www.st.com/psm, at no
charge. The uPSD33xx also includes supervisor
functions such as a programmable watchdog timer
and low-voltage reset.

uPSD33xx
uPSD33xx HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The uPSD33xx has a modular architecture built
from a stacked die process. There are two die, one
is designated “MCU Module” in this document, and
the other is designated “PSD Module” (see Figure
5., page 14). In all cases, the MCU Module die operates
at 3.3V with 5V tolerant I/O. The PSD Module
is either a 3.3V die or a 5V die, depending on
the uPSD33xx device as described below.
The MCU Module consists of a fast 8032 core, that
operates with 4 clocks per instruction cycle, and
has many peripheral and system supervisor functions.
The PSD Module provides the 8032 with
multiple memories (two Flash and one SRAM) for
program and data, programmable logic for address
decoding and for general-purpose logic, and
additional I/O. The MCU Module communicates
with the PSD Module through internal address and
data busses (A8 – A15, AD0 – AD7) and control
signals (RD, WR, PSEN, ALE, RESET).
There are slightly different I/O characteristics for
each module. I/Os for the MCU module are designated
as Ports 1, 3, and 4. I/Os for the PSD Module
are designated as Ports A, B, C, and D.
For all 5V uPSD33xx devices, a 3.3V MCU Module
is stacked with a 5V PSD Module. In this case, a
5V uPSD33xx device must be supplied with
3.3VCC for the MCU Module and 5.0VDD for the
PSD Module. Ports 3 and 4 of the MCU Module
are 3.3V ports with tolerance to 5V devices (they
can be directly driven by external 5V devices and
they can directly drive external 5V devices while
producing a VOH of 2.4V min and VCC max). Ports
A, B, C, and D of the PSD Module are true 5V
ports.
For all 3.3V uPSD33xxV devices, a 3.3V MCU
Module is stacked with a 3.3V PSD Module. In this
case, a 3.3V uPSD33xx device needs to be supplied
with a single 3.3V voltage source at both VCC
and VDD. I/O pins on Ports 3 and 4 are 5V tolerant
and can be connected to external 5V peripherals
devices if desired. Ports A, B, C, and D of the PSD
Module are 3.3V ports, which are not tolerant to
external 5V devices.
Refer to Table 3 for port type and voltage source
requirements.
80-pin uPSD33xx devices provide access to 8032
address, data, and control signals on external pins
to connect external peripheral and memory devices.
52-pin uPSD33xx devices do not provide access
to the 8032 system bus.
All non-volatile memory and configuration portions
of the uPSD33xx device are programmed through
the JTAG interface and no special programming
voltage is needed. This same JTAG port is also
used for debugging of the 8032 core at runtime
providing breakpoint, single-step, display, and
trace features. A non-volatile security bit may be
programmed to block all access via JTAG interface
for security. The security bit is defeated only
by erasing the entire device, leaving the device
blank and ready to use again.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The 8032 MCU core views memory on the MCU
module as “internal” memory and it views memory
on the PSD module as “external” memory, see
Figure 6.
Internal memory on the MCU Module consists of
DATA, IDATA, and SFRs. These standard 8032
memories reside in 384 bytes of SRAM located at
a fixed address space starting at address 0x0000.
External memory on the PSD Module consists of
four types: main Flash (64K, 128K, or 256K bytes),
a smaller secondary Flash (16K, or 32K), SRAM
(2K, 8K, or 32K bytes), and a block of PSD Module
control registers called CSIOP (256 bytes). These
external memories reside at programmable address
ranges, specified using the software tool
PSDsoft Express. See the PSD Module section of
this document for more details on these memories.
External memory is accessed by the 8032 in two
separate 64K byte address spaces. One address
space is for program memory and the other address
space is for data memory. Program memory
is accessed using the 8032 signal, PSEN. Data
memory is accessed using the 8032 signals, RD
and WR. If the 8032 needs to access more than
64K bytes of external program or data memory, it
must use paging (or banking) techniques provided
by the Page Register in the PSD Module.
Note: When referencing program and data memory
spaces, it has nothing to do with 8032 internal
SRAM areas of DATA, IDATA, and SFR on the
MCU Module. Program and data memory spaces
only relate to the external memories on the PSD
Module.
External memory on the PSD Module can overlap
the internal SRAM memory on the MCU Module in
the same physical address range (starting at
0x0000) without interference because the 8032
core does not assert the RD or WR signals when
accessing internal SRAM.

Internal Memory (MCU Module, Standard 8032
Memory: DATA, IDATA, SFR)
DATA Memory. The first 128 bytes of internal
SRAM ranging from address 0x0000 to 0x007F
are called DATA, which can be accessed using
8032 direct or indirect addressing schemes and
are typically used to store variables and stack.
Four register banks, each with 8 registers (R0 –
R7), occupy addresses 0x0000 to 0x001F. Only
one of these four banks may be enabled at a time.
The next 16 locations at 0x0020 to 0x002F contain
128 directly addressable bit locations that can be
used as software flags. SRAM locations 0x0030
and above may be used for variables and stack.
IDATA Memory. The next 128 bytes of internal
SRAM are named IDATA and range from address
0x0080 to 0x00FF. IDATA can be accessed only
through 8032 indirect addressing and is typically
used to hold the MCU stack as well as data variables.
The stack can reside in both DATA and
IDATA memories and reach a size limited only by
the available space in the combined 256 bytes of
these two memories (since stack accesses are always
done using indirect addressing, the boundary
between DATA and IDATA does not exist with
regard to the stack).
SFR Memory. Special Function Registers (Table
5., page 24) occupy a separate physical memory,
but they logically overlap the same 128 bytes as
IDATA, ranging from address 0x0080 to 0x00FF.
SFRs are accessed only using direct addressing.
There 86 active registers used for many functions:
changing the operating mode of the 8032 MCU
core, controlling 8032 peripherals, controlling I/O,
and managing interrupt functions. The remaining
unused SFRs are reserved and should not be accessed.
16 of the SFRs are both byte- and bit-addressable.
Bit-addressable SFRs are those whose address
ends in “0” or “8” hex.
External Memory (PSD Module: Program
memory, Data memory)
The PSD Module has four memories: main Flash,
secondary Flash, SRAM, and CSIOP. See the
PSD MODULE section for more detailed information
on these memories.
Memory mapping in the PSD Module is implemented
with the Decode PLD (DPLD) and optionally
the Page Register. The user specifies decode
equations for individual segments of each of the
memories using the software tool PSDsoft Express.
This is a very easy point-and-click process
allowing total flexibility in mapping memories. Additionally,
each of the memories may be placed in
various combinations of 8032 program address
space or 8032 data address space by using the
software tool PSDsoft Express.
Program Memory. External program memory is
addressed by the 8032 using its 16-bit Program
Counter (PC) and is accessed with the 8032 signal,
PSEN. Program memory can be present at
any address in program space between 0x0000
and 0xFFFF.
After a power-up or reset, the 8032 begins program
execution from location 0x0000 where the
reset vector is stored, causing a jump to an initialization
routine in firmware. At address 0x0003, just
following the reset vector are the interrupt service
locations. Each interrupt is assigned a fixed interrupt
service location in program memory. An interrupt
causes the 8032 to jump to that service
location, where it commences execution of the
service routine. External Interrupt 0 (EXINT0), for
example, is assigned to service location 0x0003. If
EXINT0 is going to be used, its service routine
must begin at location 0x0003. Interrupt service locations
are spaced at 8-byte intervals: 0x0003 for
EXINT0, 0x000B for Timer 0, 0x0013 for EXINT1,
and so forth. If an interrupt service routine is short
enough, it can reside entirely within the 8-byte interval.
Longer service routines can use a jump instruction
to somewhere else in program memory.
Data Memory. External data is referred to as
XDATA and is addressed by the 8032 using Indirect
Addressing via its 16-bit Data Pointer Register
(DPTR) and is accessed by the 8032 signals, RD
and WR. XDATA can be present at any address in
data space between 0x0000 and 0xFFFF.
Note: the uPSD33xx has dual data pointers
(source and destination) making XDATA transfers
much more efficient.
Memory Placement. PSD Module architecture
allows the placement of its external memories into
different combinations of program memory and
data memory spaces. This means the main Flash,
the secondary Flash, and the SRAM can be
viewed by the 8032 MCU in various combinations
of program memory or data memory as defined by
PSDsoft Express.
As an example of this flexibility, for applications
that require a great deal of Flash memory in data
space (large lookup tables or extended data recording),
the larger main Flash memory can be
placed in data space and the smaller secondary
Flash memory can be placed in program space.
The opposite can be realized for a different application
if more Flash memory is needed for code
and less Flash memory for data.17/231
uPSD33xx
By default, the SRAM and CSIOP memories on
the PSD Module must always reside in data memory
space and they are treated by the 8032 as
XDATA. However, the SRAM may optionally reside
in program space in addition to data space if
it is desired to execute code from SRAM. The main
Flash and secondary Flash memories may reside
in program space, data space, or both.
These memory placement choices specified by
PSDsoft Express are programmed into non-volatile
sections of the uPSD33xx, and are active at
power-up and after reset. It is possible to override
these initial settings during runtime for In-Application
Programming (IAP).
Standard 8032 MCU architecture cannot write to
its own program memory space to prevent accidental
corruption of firmware. However, this becomes
an obstacle in typical 8032 systems when
a remote update to firmware in Flash memory is
required using IAP. The PSD module provides a
solution for remote updates by allowing 8032 firmware
to temporarily “reclassify” Flash memory to
reside in data space during a remote update, then
returning Flash memory back to program space
when finished. See the VM Register (Table
78., page 143) in the PSD Module section of this
document for more details.
8032 MCU CORE PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS
Before describing performance features of the
uPSD33xx, let us first look at standard 8032 architecture.
The clock source for the 8032 MCU creates
a basic unit of timing called a machine-cycle,
which is a period of 12 clocks for standard 8032
MCUs. The instruction set for traditional 8032
MCUs consists of 1, 2, and 3 byte instructions that
execute in different combinations of 1, 2, or 4 machine-cycles.
For example, there are one-byte instructions
that execute in one machine-cycle (12
clocks), one-byte instructions that execute in four
machine-cycles (48 clocks), two-byte, two-cycle
instructions (24 clocks), and so on. In addition,
standard 8032 architecture will fetch two bytes
from program memory on almost every machinecycle,
regardless if it needs them or not (dummy
fetch). This means for one-byte, one-cycle instructions,
the second byte is ignored. These one-byte,
one-cycle instructions account for half of the
8032's instructions (126 out of 255 opcodes).
There are inefficiencies due to wasted bus cycles
and idle bus times that can be eliminated.
The uPSD33xx 8032 MCU core offers increased
performance in a number of ways, while keeping
the exact same instruction set as the standard
8032 (all opcodes, the number of bytes per instruction,
and the native number a machine-cycles
per instruction are identical to the original 8032).
The first way performance is boosted is by reducing
the machine-cycle period to just 4 MCU clocks
as compared to 12 MCU clocks in a standard
8032. This shortened machine-cycle improves the
instruction rate for one-byte, one-cycle instructions
by a factor of three (Figure 7., page 18) compared
to standard 8051 architectures, and
significantly improves performance of multiple-cycle
instruction types.
The example in Figure 7 shows a continuous execution
stream of one-byte, one-cycle instructions.
The 5V uPSD33xx will yield 10 MIPS peak performance
in this case while operating at 40MHz clock
rate. In a typical application however, the effective
performance will be lower since programs do not
use only one-cycle instructions, but special techniques
are implemented in the uPSD33xx to keep
the effective MIPS rate as close as possible to the
peak MIPS rate at all times. This is accomplished
with an instruction Pre-Fetch Queue (PFQ) and a
Branch Cache (BC) as shown in Figure
8., page 18.uPSD33xx

Pre-Fetch Queue (PFQ) and Branch Cache
(BC)
The PFQ is always working to minimize the idle
bus time inherent to 8032 MCU architecture, to
eliminate wasted memory fetches, and to maximize
memory bandwidth to the MCU. The PFQ
does this by running asynchronously in relation to
the MCU, looking ahead to pre-fetch code from
program memory during any idle bus periods. Only
necessary bytes will be fetched (no dummy fetches
like standard 8032). The PFQ will queue up to
six code bytes in advance of execution, which significantly
optimizes sequential program performance.
However, when program execution
becomes non-sequential (program branch), a typical
pre-fetch queue will empty itself and reload
new code, causing the MCU to stall. The Turbo
uPSD33xx diminishes this problem by using a
Branch Cache with the PFQ. The BC is a four-way,
fully associative cache, meaning that when a program
branch occurs, it's branch destination address
is compared simultaneously with four recent
previous branch destinations stored in the BC.
Each of the four cache entries contain up to six
bytes of code related to a branch. If there is a hit
(a match), then all six code bytes of the matching
program branch are transferred immediately and
simultaneously from the BC to the PFQ, and execution
on that branch continues with minimal delay.
This greatly reduces the chance that the MCU
will stall from an empty PFQ, and improves performance
in embedded control systems where it is
quite common to branch and loop in relatively
small code localities.
By default, the PFQ and BC are enabled after
power-up or reset. The 8032 can disable the PFQ
and BC at runtime if desired by writing to a specific
SFR (BUSCON).
The memory in the PSD module operates with
variable wait states depending on the value specified
in the SFR named BUSCON. For example, a
5V uPSD33xx device operating at a 40MHz crystal
frequency requires four memory wait states (equal
to four MCU clocks). In this example, once the
PFQ has one or more bytes of code, the wait
states become transparent and a full 10 MIPS is
achieved when the program stream consists of sequential
one-byte, one machine-cycle instructions
as shown in Figure 7., page 18 (transparent because
a machine-cycle is four MCU clocks which
equals the memory pre-fetch wait time that is also
four MCU clocks). But it is also important to understand
PFQ operation on multi-cycle instructions.
PFQ Example, Multi-cycle Instructions
Let us look at a string of two-byte, two-cycle instructions
in Figure 9., page 20. There are three
instructions executed sequentially in this example,
instructions A, B, and C. Each of the time divisions
in the figure is one machine-cycle of four clocks,
and there are six phases to reference in this discussion.
Each instruction is pre-fetched into the
PFQ in advance of execution by the MCU. Prior to
Phase 1, the PFQ has pre-fetched the two instruction
bytes (A1 and A2) of instruction A. During
Phase one, both bytes are loaded into the MCU
execution unit. Also in Phase 1, the PFQ is prefetching
the first byte (B1) of instruction B from
program memory. In Phase 2, the MCU is processing
Instruction A internally while the PFQ is
pre-fetching the second byte (B2) of Instruction B.
In Phase 3, both bytes of instruction B are loaded
into the MCU execution unit and the PFQ begins
to pre-fetch bytes for the third instruction C. In
Phase 4 Instruction B is processed and the prefetching
continues, eliminating idle bus cycles and
feeding a continuous flow of operands and opcodes
to the MCU execution unit.
The uPSD33xx MCU instructions are an exact 1/3
scale of all standard 8032 instructions with regard
to number of cycles per instruction. Figure
10., page 20 shows the equivalent instruction sequence
from the example above on a standard
8032 for comparison.
Aggregate Performance
The stream of two-byte, two-cycle instructions in
Figure 9., page 20, running on a 40MHz, 5V,
uPSD33xx will yield 5 MIPs. And we saw the
stream of one-byte, one-cycle instructions in Figure
7., page 18, on the same MCU yield 10 MIPs.
Effective performance will depend on a number of
things: the MCU clock frequency; the mixture of instructions
types (bytes and cycles) in the application;
the amount of time an empty PFQ stalls the
MCU (mix of instruction types and misses on
Branch Cache); and the operating voltage. A 5V
uPSD33xx device operates with four memory wait
states, but a 3.3V device operates with five memory
wait states yielding 8 MIPS peak compared to
10 MIPs peak for 5V device. The same number of
wait states will apply to both program fetches and
to data READ/WRITEs unless otherwise specified
in the SFR named BUSCON.
In general, a 3X aggregate performance increase
is expected over any standard 8032 application
running at the same clock frequency.uPSD33xx

8032 MCU REGISTERS
The uPSD33xx has the following 8032 MCU core
registers, also shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. 8032 MCU Registers
Stack Pointer (SP)
The SP is an 8-bit register which holds the current
location of the top of the stack. It is incremented
before a value is pushed onto the stack, and decremented
after a value is popped off the stack. The
SP is initialized to 07h after reset. This causes the
stack to begin at location 08h (top of stack). To
avoid overlapping conflicts, the user must initialize
the top of the stack to 20h if all four banks of registers
R0 - R7 are used, and the user must initialize
the top of stack to 30h if all of the 8032 bit memory
locations are used.
Data Pointer (DPTR)
DPTR is a 16-bit register consisting of two 8-bit
registers, DPL and DPH. The DPTR Register is
used as a base register to create an address for indirect
jumps, table look-up operations, and for external
data transfers (XDATA). When not used for
addressing, the DPTR Register can be used as a
general purpose 16-bit data register.
Very frequently, the DPTR Register is used to access
XDATA using the External Direct addressing
mode. The uPSD33xx has a special set of SFR
registers (DPTC, DPTM) to control a secondary
DPTR Register to speed memory-to-memory
XDATA transfers. Having dual DPTR Registers allows
rapid switching between source and destination
addresses (see details in DUAL DATA
POINTERS, page 37).
Program Counter (PC)
The PC is a 16-bit register consisting of two 8-bit
registers, PCL and PCH. This counter indicates
the address of the next instruction in program
memory to be fetched and executed. A reset forces
the PC to location 0000h, which is where the reset
jump vector is stored.
Accumulator (ACC)
This is an 8-bit general purpose register which
holds a source operand and receives the result of
arithmetic operations. The ACC Register can also
be the source or destination of logic and data
movement operations. For MUL and DIV instructions,
ACC is combined with the B Register to hold
16-bit operands. The ACC is referred to as “A” in
the MCU instruction set.
B Register (B)
The B Register is a general purpose 8-bit register
for temporary data storage and also used as a 16-
bit register when concatenated with the ACC Register
for use with MUL and DIV instructions.

General Purpose Registers (R0 - R7)
There are four banks of eight general purpose 8-
bit registers (R0 - R7), but only one bank of eight
registers is active at any given time depending on
the setting in the PSW word (described next). R0 -
R7 are generally used to assist in manipulating
values and moving data from one memory location
to another. These register banks physically reside
in the first 32 locations of 8032 internal DATA23/231
uPSD33xx
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFR)
A group of registers designated as Special Function
Register (SFR) is shown in Table 5., page 24.
SFRs control the operating modes of the MCU
core and also control the peripheral interfaces and
I/O pins on the MCU Module. The SFRs can be accessed
only by using the Direct Addressing method
within the address range from 80h to FFh of
internal 8032 SRAM. Sixteen addresses in SFR
address space are both byte- and bit-addressable.
The bit-addressable SFRs are noted in Table 5.
86 of a possible 128 SFR addresses are occupied.
The remaining unoccupied SFR addresses (designated
as “RESERVED” in Table 5) should not be
written. Reading unoccupied locations will return
an undefined value.
Note: There is a separate set of control registers
for the PSD Module, designated as csiop, and they
are described in the PSD MODULE, page 133.
The I/O pins, PLD, and other functions on the PSD
Module are NOT controlled by SFRs.
SFRs are categorized as follows:
■ MCU core registers:
IP, A, B, PSW, SP, DPTL, DPTH, DPTC,

8032 ADDRESSING MODES
The 8032 MCU uses 11 different addressing
modes listed below:
■ Register
■ Direct
■ Register Indirect
■ Immediate
■ External Direct
■ External Indirect
■ Indexed
■ Relative
■ Absolute
■ Long
■ Bit
Register Addressing
This mode uses the contents of one of the registers
R0 - R7 (selected by the last three bits in the
instruction opcode) as the operand source or destination.
This mode is very efficient since an additional
instruction byte is not needed to identify the
operand. For example:
Direct Addressing
This mode uses an 8-bit address, which is contained
in the second byte of the instruction, to directly
address an operand which resides in either
8032 DATA SRAM (internal address range 00h-
07Fh) or resides in 8032 SFR (internal address
range 80h-FFh). This mode is quite fast since the
range limit is 256 bytes of internal 8032 SRAM.
For example:
Register Indirect Addressing
This mode uses an 8-bit address contained in either
Register R0 or R1 to indirectly address an operand
which resides in 8032 IDATA SRAM
(internal address range 80h-FFh). Although 8032
SFR registers also occupy the same physical address
range as IDATA, SFRs will not be accessed
by Register Indirect mode. SFRs may only be accesses
using Direct address mode. For example:
Immediate Addressing
This mode uses 8-bits of data (a constant) contained
in the second byte of the instruction, and
stores it into the memory location or register indicated
by the first byte of the instruction. Thus, the
data is immediately available within the instruction.
This mode is commonly used to initialize registers
and SFRs or to perform mask operations.
There is also a 16-bit version of this mode for loading
the DPTR Register. In this case, the two bytes
following the instruction byte contain the 16-bit value.
For example:
External Direct Addressing
This mode will access external memory (XDATA)
by using the 16-bit address stored in the DPTR
Register. There are only two instructions using this
mode and both use the accumulator to either receive
a byte from external memory addressed by
DPTR or to send a byte from the accumulator to
the address in DPTR. The uPSD33xx has a special
feature to alternate the contents (source and
destination) of DPTR rapidly to implement very efficient
memory-to-memory transfers. For example:
Note: See details in DUAL DATA
POINTERS, page 37.
External Indirect Addressing
This mode will access external memory (XDATA)
by using the 8-bit address stored in either Register
R0 or R1. This is the fastest way to access XDATA
(least bus cycles), but because only 8-bits are
available for address, this mode limits XDATA to a
size of only 256 bytes (the traditional Port 2 of the
8032 MCU is not available in the uPSD33xx, so it
is not possible to write the upper address byte).
This mode is not supported by uPSD33xx.
For example:
MOV A, R7 ; Move contents of R7 to accumulator
MOV A, 40h ; Move contents of DATA SRAM
; at location 40h into the accumulator
MOV A, @R0 ; Move into the accumulator the
; contents of IDATA SRAM that is
; pointed to by the address
; contained in R0.
MOV A, 40# ; Move the constant, 40h, into
; the accumulator
MOV DPTR, 1234# ; Move the constant, 1234h, into
; DPTR
MOVX A, @DPTR ; Move contents of accumulator to
; XDATA at address contained in
; DPTR
MOVX @DPTR, A ; Move XDATA to accumulator
MOVX @R0,A ; Move into the accumulator the
; XDATA that is pointed to by
; the address contained in R0.31/231
uPSD33xx
Indexed Addressing
This mode is used for the MOVC instruction which
allows the 8032 to read a constant from program
memory (not data memory). MOVC is often used
to read look-up tables that are embedded in program
memory. The final address produced by this
mode is the result of adding either the 16-bit PC or
DPTR value to the contents of the accumulator.
The value in the accumulator is referred to as an
index. The data fetched from the final location in
program memory is stored into the accumulator,
overwriting the index value that was previously
stored there. For example:
Relative Addressing
This mode will add the two’s-compliment number
stored in the second byte of the instruction to the
program counter for short jumps within +128 or –
127 addresses relative to the program counter.
This is commonly used for looping and is very efficient
since no additional bus cycle is needed to
fetch the jump destination address. For example:
Absolute Addressing
This mode will append the 5 high-order bits of the
address of the next instruction to the 11 low-order
bits of an ACALL or AJUMP instruction to produce
a 16-bit jump address. The jump will be within the
same 2K byte page of program memory as the first
byte of the following instruction. For example:
Long Addressing
This mode will use the 16-bits contained in the two
bytes following the instruction byte as a jump destination
address for LCALL and LJMP instructions.
For example:
Bit Addressing
This mode allows setting or clearing an individual
bit without disturbing the other bits within an 8-bit
value of internal SRAM. Bit Addressing is only
available for certain locations in 8032 DATA and
SFR memory. Valid locations are DATA addresses
20h - 2Fh and for SFR addresses whose base
address ends with 0h or 8h. (Example: The SFR,
IE, has a base address of A8h, so each of the eight
bits in IE can be addressed individually at address
A8h, A9h, ...up to AFh.) For example:
MOVC A, @A+DPTR; Move code byte relative to
; DPTR into accumulator
MOVC A, @A+PC ; Move code byte relative to PC
; into accumulator
SJMP 34h ; Jump 34h bytes ahead (in program
; memory) of the address at which
; the SJMP instruction is stored. If
; SJMP is at 1000h, program
; execution jumps to 1034h.
AJMP 0500h ; If next instruction is located at
; address 4000h, the resulting jump
; will be made to 4500h.
LJMP 0500h ; Unconditionally jump to address
; 0500h in program memory
SETB AFh ; Set the individual EA bit (Enable All
; Interrupts) inside the SFR Register,
; IE. uPSD33xx
32/231
uPSD33xx INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Tables 6 through 11 list all of the instructions supported
by the uPSD33xx, including the number of
bytes and number of machine cycles required to
implement each instruction. This is the standard
8051 instruction set.
The meaning of “machine cycles” is how many
8032 MCU core machine cycles are required to
execute the instruction. The “native” duration of all
machine cycles is set by the memory wait state
settings in the SFR, BUSCON, and the MCU clock
divider selections in the SFR, CCON0 (i.e. a machine
cycle is typically set to 4 MCU clocks for a 5V
uPSD33xx). However, an individual machine cycle
may grow in duration when either of two things
happen:
1. a stall is imposed while loading the 8032 PreFetch
Queue (PFQ); or
2. the occurrence of a cache miss in the Branch
Cache (BC) during a branch in program
execution flow.
See 8032 MCU CORE PERFORMANCE
ENHANCEMENTS, page 17 or more details.
But generally speaking, during typical program execution,
the PFQ is not empty and the BC has no
misses, producing very good performance without
extending the duration of any machine cycles.
The uPSD33xx Programmers Guide describes
each instruction operation in detail.

DUAL DATA POINTERS
XDATA is accessed by the External Direct addressing
mode, which uses a 16-bit address
stored in the DPTR Register. Traditional 8032 architecture
has only one DPTR Register. This is a
burden when transferring data between two XDATA
locations because it requires heavy use of the
working registers to manipulate the source and
destination pointers.
However, the uPSD33xx has two data pointers,
one for storing a source address and the other for
storing a destination address. These pointers can
be configured to automatically increment or decrement
after each data transfer, further reducing the
burden on the 8032 and making this kind of data
movement very efficient.
Data Pointer Control Register, DPTC (85h)
By default, the DPTR Register of the uPSD33xx
will behave no different than in a standard 8032
MCU. The DPSEL0 Bit of SFR register DPTC
shown in Table 13, selects which one of the two
“background” data pointer registers (DPTR0 or
DPTR1) will function as the traditional DPTR Register
at any given time. After reset, the DPSEL0 Bit
is cleared, enabling DPTR0 to function as the DPTR,
and firmware may access DPTR0 by reading
or writing the traditional DPTR Register at SFR addresses
82h and 83h. When the DPSEL0 bit is set,
then the DPTR1 Register functions as DPTR, and
firmware may now access DPTR1 through SFR
registers at 82h and 83h. The pointer which is not
selected by the DPSEL0 bit remains in the background
and is not accessible by the 8032. If the
DPSEL0 bit is never set, then the uPSD33xx will
behave like a traditional 8032 having only one
DPTR Register.
To further speed XDATA to XDATA transfers, the
SFR bit, AT, may be set to automatically toggle the
two data pointers, DPTR0 and DPTR1, each time
the standard DPTR Register is accessed by a
MOVX instruction. This eliminates the need for
firmware to manually manipulate the DPSEL0 bit
between each data transfer.
Detailed description for the SFR register DPTC is
shown in Table 13.

Data Pointer Mode Register, DPTM (86h)
The two “background” data pointers, DPTR0 and
DPTR1, can be configured to automatically increment,
decrement, or stay the same after a MOVX
instruction accesses the DPTR Register. Only the
currently selected pointer will be affected by the increment
or decrement. This feature is controlled
by the DPTM Register defined in Table 14.
The automatic increment or decrement function is
effective only for the MOVX instruction, and not
MOVC or any other instruction that uses the DTPR
Register.
Firmware Example. The 8051 assembly code illustrated
in Table 15 shows how to transfer a block
of data bytes from one XDATA address region to
another XDATA address region. Auto-address incrementing
and auto-pointer toggling will be used.

uPSD33xx
DEBUG UNIT
The 8032 MCU Module supports run-time debugging
through the JTAG interface. This same JTAG
interface is also used for In-System Programming
(ISP) and the physical connections are described
in the PSD Module section, JTAG ISP and JTAG
Debug, page 195.
Debugging with a serial interface such as JTAG is
a non-intrusive way to gain access to the internal
state of the 8032 MCU core and various memories.
A traditional external hardware emulator cannot
be completely effective on the uPSD33xx
because of the Pre-Fetch Queue and Branch
Cache. The nature of the PFQ and BC hide the
visibility of actual program flow through traditional
external bus connections, thus requiring on-chip
serial debugging instead.
Debugging is supported by Windows PC based
software tools used for 8051 code development
from 3rd party vendors listed at www.st.com/psm.
Debug capabilities include:
■ Halt or Start MCU execution
■ Reset the MCU
■ Single Step
■ 3 Match Breakpoints
■ 1 Range Breakpoint (inside or outside range)
■ Program Tracing
■ Read or Modify MCU core registers, DATA,
IDATA, SFR, XDATA, and Code
■ External Debug Event Pin, Input or Output
Some key points regarding use of the JTAG Debugger.
– The JTAG Debugger can access MCU
registers, data memory, and code memory
while the MCU is executing at full speed by
cycle-stealing. This means “watch windows”
may be displayed and periodically updated on
the PC during full speed operation. Registers
and data content may also be modified during
full speed operation.
– There is no on-chip storage for Program Trace
data, but instead this data is scanned from the
uPSD33xx through the JTAG channel at runtime
to the PC host for proccessing. As such,
full speed program tracing is possible only
when the 8032 MCU is operating below
approximately one MIPS of performance.
Above one MIPS, the program will not run
real-time while tracing. One MIPS
performance is determined by the
combination of choice for MCU clock
frequency, and the bit settings in SFR
registers BUSCON and CCON0.
– Breakpoints can optionally halt the MCU, and/
or assert the external Debug Event pin.
– Breakpoint definitions may be qualified with
read or write operations, and may also be
qualified with an address of code, SFR, DATA,
IDATA, or XDATA memories.
– Three breakpoints will compare an address,
but the fourth breakpoint can compare an
address and also data content. Additionally,
the fouth breakpoint can be logically combined
(AND/OR) with any of the other three
breakpoints.
– The Debug Event pin can be configured by the
PC host to generate an output pulse for
external triggering when a break condition is
met. The pin can also be configured as an
event input to the breakpoint logic, causing a
break on the falling-edge of an external event
signal. If not used, the Debug Event pin should
be pulled up to VCC as described in the
section, Debugging the 8032 MCU
Module., page 201.
– The duration of a pulse, generated when the
Event pin configured as an output, is one MCU
clock cycle. This is an active-low signal, so the
first edge when an event occurs is high-to-low.
– The clock to the Watchdog Timer, ADC, and
I
2C interface are not stopped by a breakpoint
halt.
– The Watchdog Timer should be disabled while
debugging with JTAG, else a reset will be
generated upon a watchdog time-out.uPSD33xx
40/231
INTERRUPT SYSTEM
The uPSD33xx has an 11-source, two priority level
interrupt structure summarized in Table 16.
Firmware may assign each interrupt source either
high or low priority by writing to bits in the SFRs
named, IP and IPA, shown in Table 16. An interrupt
will be serviced as long as an interrupt of
equal or higher priority is not already being serviced.
If an interrupt of equal or higher priority is
being serviced, the new interrupt will wait until it is
finished before being serviced. If a lower priority
interrupt is being serviced, it will be stopped and
the new interrupt is serviced. When the new interrupt
is finished, the lower priority interrupt that was
stopped will be completed. If new interrupt requests
are of the same priority level and are received
simultaneously, an internal polling
sequence determines which request is selected
for service. Thus, within each of the two priority
levels, there is a second priority structure determined
by the polling sequence.
Firmware may individually enable or disable interrupt
sources by writing to bits in the SFRs named,
IE and IEA, shown in Table 16., page 41. The SFR
named IE contains a global disable bit (EA), which
can be cleared to disable all 11 interrupts at once,
as shown in Table 17., page 43. Figure
13., page 42 illustrates the interrupt priority, polling,
and enabling process.
Each interrupt source has at least one interrupt
flag that indicates whether or not an interrupt is
pending. These flags reside in bits of various
SFRs shown in Table 16., page 41.
All of the interrupt flags are latched into the interrupt
control system at the beginning of each MCU
machine cycle, and they are polled at the beginning
of the following machine cycle. If polling determines
one of the flags was set, the interrupt
control system automatically generates an LCALL
to the user’s Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) firmware
stored in program memory at the appropriate
vector address.
The specific vector address for each of the interrupt
sources are listed in Table 16., page 41. However,
this LCALL jump may be blocked by any of
the following conditions:
– An interrupt of equal or higher priority is
already in progress
– The current machine cycle is not the final cycle
in the execution of the instruction in progress
– The current instruction involves a write to any
of the SFRs: IE, IEA, IP, or IPA
– The current instruction is an RETI
Note: Interrupt flags are polled based on a sample
taken in the previous MCU machine cycle. If an interrupt
flag is active in one cycle but is denied serviced
due to the conditions above, and then later it
is not active when the conditions above are finally
satisfied, the previously denied interrupt will not be
serviced. This means that active interrupts are not
remembered. Every poling cycle is new.
Assuming all of the listed conditions are satisfied,
the MCU executes the hardware generated
LCALL to the appropriate ISR. This LCALL pushes
the contents of the PC onto the stack (but it does
not save the PSW) and loads the PC with the appropriate
interrupt vector address. Program execution
then jumps to the ISR at the vector address.
Execution precedes in the ISR. It may be necessary
for the ISR firmware to clear the pending interrupt
flag for some interrupt sources, because
not all interrupt flags are automatically cleared by
hardware when the ISR is called, as shown in Table
16., page 41. If an interrupt flag is not cleared
after servicing the interrupt, an unwanted interrupt
will occur upon exiting the ISR.
After the interrupt is serviced, the last instruction
executed by the ISR is RETI. The RETI informs
the MCU that the ISR is no longer in progress and
the MCU pops the top two bytes from the stack
and loads them into the PC. Execution of the interrupted
program continues where it left off.
Note: An ISR must end with a RETI instruction,
not a RET. An RET will not inform the interrupt
control system that the ISR is complete, leaving
the MCU to think the ISR is still in progress, making
future interrupts impossible.41/231

Individual Interrupt Sources
External Interrupts Int0 and Int1. External interrupt
inputs on pins EXTINT0 and EXTINT1
(pins 3.2 and 3.3) are either edge-triggered or level-triggered,
depending on bits IT0 and IT1 in the
SFR named TCON.
When an external interrupt is generated from an
edge-triggered (falling-edge) source, the appropriate
flag bit (IE0 or IE1) is automatically cleared by
hardware upon entering the ISR.
When an external interrupt is generated from a
level-triggered (low-level) source, the appropriate
flag bit (IE0 or IE1) is NOT automatically cleared
by hardware.
Timer 0 and 1 Overflow Interrupt. Timer 0 and
Timer 1 interrupts are generated by the flag bits
TF0 and TF1 when there is an overflow condition
in the respective Timer/Counter register (except
for Timer 0 in Mode 3).
Timer 2 Overflow Interrupt. This interrupt is
generated to the MCU by a logical OR of flag bits,
TF2 and EXE2. The ISR must read the flag bits to
determine the cause of the interrupt.
– TF2 is set by an overflow of Timer 2.
– EXE2 is generated by the falling edge of a
signal on the external pin, T2X (pin P1.1).
UART0 and UART1 Interrupt. Each of the
UARTs have identical interrupt structure. For each
UART, a single interrupt is generated to the MCU
by the logical OR of the flag bits, RI (byte received)
and TI (byte transmitted).
The ISR must read flag bits in the SFR named
SCON0 for UART0, or SCON1 for UART1 to determine
the cause of the interrupt.
SPI Interrupt. The SPI interrupt has four interrupt
sources, which are logically ORed together when
interrupting the MCU. The ISR must read the flag
bits to determine the cause of the interrupt.
A flag bit is set for: end of data transmit (TEISF);
data receive overrun (RORISF); transmit buffer
empty (TISF); or receive buffer full (RISF).
I
2C Interrupt. The flag bit INTR is set by a variety
of conditions occurring on the I2C interface: received
own slave address (ADDR flag); received
general call address (GC flag); received STOP
condition (STOP flag); or successful transmission
or reception of a data byte.The ISR must read the
flag bits to determine the cause of the interrupt.
ADC Interrupt. The flag bit AINTF is set when an
A-to-D conversion has completed.
PCA Interrupt. The PCA has eight interrupt
sources, which are logically ORed together when
interrupting the MCU.The ISR must read the flag
bits to determine the cause of the interrupt.
– Each of the six TCMs can generate a "match
or capture" interrupt on flag bits OFV5..0
respectively.
– Each of the two 16-bit counters can generate
an overflow interrupt on flag bits INTF1 and
INTF0 respectively.

bit definitions of the interrupt system SFRs.

MCU CLOCK GENERATION
Internal system clocks generated by the clock generation
unit are derived from the signal, XTAL1,
shown in Figure 14. XTAL1 has a frequency fOSC,
which comes directly from the external crystal or
oscillator device. The SFR named CCON0 (Table
21., page 47) controls the clock generation unit.
There are two clock signals produced by the clock
generation unit:
■ MCU_CLK
■ PERIPH_CLK
MCU_CLK
This clock drives the 8032 MCU core and the
Watchdog Timer (WDT). The frequency of
MCU_CLK is equal to fOSC by default, but it can be
divided by as much as 2048, shown in Figure 14.
The bits CPUPS[2:0] select one of eight different
divisors, ranging from 2 to 2048. The new frequency
is available immediately after the CPUPS[2:0]
bits are written. The final frequency of MCU_CLK
is fMCU.
MCU_CLK is blocked by either bit, PD or IDL, in
the SFR named PCON during MCU Power-down
Mode or Idle Mode respectively.
MCU_CLK clock can be further divided as required
for use in the WDT. See details of the WDT
in SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS, page 65.
PERIPH_CLK
This clock drives all the uPSD33xx peripherals except
the WDT. The Frequency of PERIPH_CLK is
always fOSC. Each of the peripherals can independently
divide PERIPH_CLK to scale it appropriately
for use.
PERIPH_CLK runs at all times except when
blocked by the PD bit in the SFR named PCON
during MCU Power-down Mode.
JTAG Interface Clock. The JTAG interface for
ISP and for Debugging uses the externally supplied
JTAG clock, coming in on pin TCK. This
means the JTAG ISP interface is always available,
and the JTAG Debug interface is available when
enabled, even during MCU Idle mode and Powerdown
Mode.
However, since the MCU participates in the JTAG
debug process, and MCU_CLK is halted during
Idle and Power-down Modes, the majority of debug
functions are not available during these low
power modes. But the JTAG debug interface is capable
of executing a reset command while in these
low power modes, which will exit back to normal
operating mode where all debug commands are
available again.
The CCON0 SFR contains a bit, DBGCE, which
enables the breakpoint comparators inside the
JTAG Debug Unit when set. DBGCE is set by default
after reset, and firmware may clear this bit at
run-time. Disabling these comparators will reduce
current consumption on the MCU Module, and it’s
recommended to do so if the Debug Unit will not
be used (such as in the production version of an
end-product).

POWER SAVING MODES
The uPSD33xx is a combination of two die, or
modules, each module having it’s own current
consumption characteristics. This section describes
reduced power modes for the MCU Module.
See the section, Power
Management, page 137 for reduced power modes
of the PSD Module. Total current consumption for
the combined modules is determined in the DC
specifications at the end of this document.
The MCU Module has three software-selectable
modes of reduced power operation.
■ Idle Mode
■ Power-down Mode
■ Reduced Frequency Mode
Idle Mode
Idle Mode will halt the 8032 MCU core while leaving
the MCU peripherals active (Idle Mode blocks
MCU_CLK only). For lowest current consumption
in this mode, it is recommended to disable all unused
peripherals, before entering Idle mode (such
as the ADC and the Debug Unit breakpoint comparators).
The following functions remain fully active
during Idle Mode (except if disabled by SFR
settings).
■ External Interrupts INT0 and INT1
■ Timer 0, Timer 1 and Timer 2
■ Supervisor reset from: LVD, JTAG Debug,
External RESET_IN_, but not the WTD
■ ADC
■ I
2C Interface
■ UART0 and UART1 Interfaces
■ SPI Interface
■ Programmable Counter Array
An interrupt generated by any of these peripherals,
or a reset generated from the supervisor, will
cause Idle Mode to exit and the 8032 MCU will resume
normal operation.
The output state on I/O pins of MCU ports 1, 3, and
4 remain unchanged during Idle Mode.
To enter Idle Mode, the 8032 MCU executes an instruction
to set the IDL bit in the SFR named
PCON, shown in Table 24., page 50. This is the
last instruction executed in normal operating mode
before Idle Mode is activated. Once in Idle Mode,
the MCU status is entirely preserved, and there
are no changes to: SP, PSW, PC, ACC, SFRs,
DATA, IDATA, or XDATA.
The following are factors related to Idle Mode exit:
– Activation of any enabled interrupt will cause
the IDL bit to be cleared by hardware,
terminating Idle Mode. The interrupt is
serviced, and following the Return from
Interrupt instruction (RETI), the next
instruction to be executed will be the one
which follows the instruction that set the IDL
bit in the PCON SFR.
– After a reset from the supervisor, the IDL bit is
cleared, Idle Mode is terminated, and the MCU
restarts after three MCU machine cycles.
Power-down Mode
Power-down Mode will halt the 8032 core and all
MCU peripherals (Power-down Mode blocks
MCU_CLK and PERIPH_CLK). This is the lowest
power state for the MCU Module. When the PSD
Module is also placed in Power-down mode, the
lowest total current consumption for the combined
die is achieved for the uPSD33xx. See Power
Management, page 137 in the PSD Module section
for details on how to also place the PSD Module
in Power-down mode. The sequence of 8032
instructions is important when placing both modules
into Power-down Mode.
The instruction that sets the PD Bit in the SFR
named PCON (Table 24., page 50) is the last instruction
executed prior to the MCU Module going
into Power-down Mode. Once in Power-down
Mode, the on-chip oscillator circuitry and all clocks
are stopped. The SFRs, DATA, IDATA,
and XDATA are preserved.
Power-down Mode is terminated only by a reset
from the supervisor, originating from the
RESET_IN_ pin, the Low-Voltage Detect circuit
(LVD), or a JTAG Debug reset command. Since
the clock to the WTD is not active during Powerdown
mode, it is not possible for the supervisor to
generate a WDT reset.
Table 22., page 49 summarizes the status of I/O
pins and peripherals during Idle and Power-down
Modes on the MCU Module. Table 23., page 49
shows the state of 8032 MCU address, data, and
control signals during these modes.
Reduced Frequency Mode
The 8032 MCU consumes less current when operating
at a lower clock frequency. The MCU can reduce
it’s own clock frequency at run-time by
writing to three bits, CPUPS[2:0], in the SFR
named CCON0 described in Table 21., page 47.
These bits effectively divide the clock frequency
(fOSC) coming in from the external crystal or oscillator
device. The clock division range is from 1/2 to
1/2048, and the resulting frequency is fMCU.
This MCU clock division does not affect any of the
peripherals, except for the WTD. The clock driving
the WTD is the same clock driving the 8032 MCU
core as shown in Figure 14., page 46.49/231
uPSD33xx
MCU firmware may reduce the MCU clock frequency
at run-time to consume less current when
performing tasks that are not time critical, and then
restore full clock frequency as required to perform
urgent tasks.
Returning to full clock frequency is done automatically
upon an MCU interrupt, if the CPUAR Bit in
the SFR named CCON0 is set (the interrupt will
force CPUPS[2:0] = 000). This is an excellent way
to conserve power using a low frequency clock until
an event occurs that requires full performance.
See Table 21., page 47 for details on CPUAR.
See the DC Specifications at the end of this document
to estimate current consumption based on
the MCU clock frequency.
Note: Some of the bits in the PCON SFR shown in
Table 24., page 50 are not related to power control.

OSCILLATOR AND EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The oscillator circuit of uPSD33xx devices is a single
stage, inverting amplifier in a Pierce oscillator
configuration. The internal circuitry between pins
XTAL1 and XTAL2 is basically an inverter biased
to the transfer point. Either an external quartz crystal
or ceramic resonator can be used as the feedback
element to complete the oscillator circuit.
Both are operated in parallel resonance. Ceramic
resonators are lower cost, but typically have a wider
frequency tolerance than quartz crystals. Alternatively,
an external clock source from an
oscillator or other active device may drive the
uPSD33xx oscillator circuit input directly, instead
of using a crystal or resonator.
The minimum frequency of the quartz crystal, ceramic
resonator, or external clock source is 1MHz
if the I2C interface is not used. The minimum is
8MHz if I2C is used. The maximum is 40MHz in all
cases. This frequency is fOSC, which can be divided
internally as described in MCU CLOCK
GENERATION, page 46.
The pin XTAL1 is the high gain amplifier input, and
XTAL2 is the output. To drive the uPSD33xx device
externally from an oscillator or other active
device, XTAL1 is driven and XTAL2 is left opencircuit.
This external source should drive a logic
low at the voltage level of 0.3 VCC or below, and
logic high at 0.7V VCC or above, up to 5.5V VCC.
The XTAL1 input is 5V tolerant.
Most of the quartz crystals in the range of 25MHz
to 40MHz operate in the third overtone frequency
mode. An external LC tank circuit at the XTAL2
output of the oscillator circuit is needed to achieve
the third overtone frequency, as shown in Figure
15., page 52. Without this LC circuit, the crystal
will oscillate at a fundamental frequency mode that
is about 1/3 of the desired overtone frequency.
Note: In Figure 15., page 52 crystals which are
specified to operate in fundamental mode (not
overtone mode) do not need the LC circuit components.
Since quartz crystals and ceramic resonators
have their own characteristics based on their
manufacturer, it is wise to also consult the manufacturer’s
recommended values for external components.uPSD33xx

I/O PORTS OF MCU MODULE
The MCU Module has three 8-bit I/O ports: Port 1,
Port 3, and Port 4. The PSD Module has four other
I/O ports: Port A, B, C, and D. This section describes
only the I/O ports on the MCU Module.
I/O ports will function as bi-directional General
Purpose I/O (GPIO), but the port pins can have alternate
functions assigned at run-time by writing to
specific SFRs. The default operating mode (during
and after reset) for all three ports is GPIO input
mode. Port pins that have no external connection
will not float because each pin has an internal
weak pull-up (~150K ohms) to VCC.
I/O ports 3 and 4 are 5V tolerant, meaning they
can be driven/pulled externally up to 5.5V without
damage. The pins on Port 4 have a higher current
capability than the pins on Ports 1 and 3.
Three additional MCU ports (only on 80-pin
uPSD33xx devices) are dedicated to bring out the
8032 MCU address, data, and control signals to
external pins. One port, named MCUA[11:8], contains
four MCU address signal outputs. Another
port, named MCUAD[7:0], has eight multiplexed
address/data bidirectional signals. The third port
has MCU bus control outputs: read, write, program
fetch, and address latch. These ports are typically
used to connect external parallel peripherals and
memory devices, but they may NOT be used as
GPIO. Notice that only four of the eight upper address
signals come out to pins on the port MCUA[11:8].
If additional high-order address signals
are required on external pins (MCU addresses
A[15:12]), then these address signals can be
brought out as needed to PLD output pins or to the
Address Out mode pins on PSD Module ports.
See PSD Module section, “Latched Address Output
Mode, page 177 for details.
Figure 16., page 55 represents the flexibility of pin
function routing controlled by the SFRs. Each of
the 24 pins on three ports, P1, P3, and P4, may be
individually routed on a pin-by-pin basis to a desired
function.
MCU Port Operating Modes
MCU port pins can operate as GPIO or as alternate
functions (see Figure 17., page 56 through
Figure 19., page 57).
Depending on the selected pin function, a particular
pin operating mode will automatically be used:
■ GPIO - Quasi-bidirectional mode
■ UART0, UART1 - Quasi-bidirectional mode
■ SPI - Quasi-bidirectional mode
■ I2C - Open drain mode
■ ADC - Analog input mode
■ PCA output - Push-Pull mode
■ PCA input - Input only (Quasi-bidirectional)
■ Timer 0,1,2 - Input only (Quasi-bidirectional)
GPIO Function. Ports in GPIO mode operate as
quasi-bidirectional pins, consistent with standard
8051 architecture. GPIO pins are individually controlled
by three SFRs:
■ SFR, P1 (Table 25., page 57)
■ SFR, P3 (Table 26., page 58)
■ SFR, P4 (Table 27., page 58)
These SFRs can be accessed using the Bit Addressing
mode, an efficient way to control individual
port pins.
GPIO Output. Simply stated, when a logic '0' is
written to a bit in any of these port SFRs while in
GPIO mode, the corresponding port pin will enable
a low-side driver, which pulls the pin to ground,
and at the same time releases the high-side driver
and pull-ups, resulting in a logic'0' output. When a
logic '1' is written to the SFR, the low-side driver is
released, the high-side driver is enabled for just
one MCU_CLK period to rapidly make the 0-to1
transition on the pin, while weak active pull-ups
(total ~150K ohms) to VCC are enabled. This structure
is consistent with standard 8051 architecture.
The high side driver is momentarily enabled only
for 0-to-1 transitions, which is implemented with
the delay function at the latch output as pictured in
Figure 17., page 56 through Figure 19., page 57.
After the high-side driver is disabled, the two weak
pull-ups remain enabled resulting in a logic '1' output
at the pin, sourcing IOH uA to an external device.
Optionally, an external pull-up resistor can be
added if additional source current is needed while
outputting a logic '1.'uPSD33xx
54/231
GPIO Input. To use a GPIO port pin as an input,
the low-side driver to ground must be disabled, or
else the true logic level being driven on the pin by
an external device will be masked (always reads
logic '0'). So to make a port pin “input ready”, the
corresponding bit in the SFR must have been set
to a logic '1' prior to reading that SFR bit as an input.
A reset condition forces SFRs P1, P3, and P4
to FFh, thus all three ports are input ready after reset.
When a pin is used as an input, the stronger pullup
“A” maintains a solid logic '1' until an external
device drives the input pin low. At this time, pull-up
“A” is automatically disabled, and only pull-up “B”
will source the external device IIH uA, consistent
with standard 8051 architecture.
GPIO Bi-Directional. It is possible to operate individual
port pins in bi-directional mode. For an output,
firmware would simply write the
corresponding SFR bit to logic '1' or '0' as needed.
But before using the pin as an input, firmware must
first ensure that a logic '1' was the last value written
to the corresponding SFR bit prior to reading
that SFR bit as an input.
GPIO Current Capability. A GPIO pin on Port 4
can sink twice as much current than a pin on either
Port 1 or Port 3 when the low-side driver is outputting
a logic '0' (IOL). See the DC specifications at
the end of this document for full details.
Reading Port Pin vs. Reading Port Latch. When
firmware reads the GPIO ports, sometimes the actual
port pin is sampled in hardware, and sometimes
the port SFR latch is read and not the actual
pin, depending on the type of MCU instruction
used. These two data paths are shown in Figure
17., page 56 through Figure 19., page 57. SFR
latches are read (and not the pins) only when the
read is part of a read-modify-write instruction and
the write destination is a bit or bits in a port SFR.
These instructions are: ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC,
CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ, MOV, CLR, and SETB. All
other types of reads to port SFRs will read the actual
pin logic level and not the port latch. This is
consistent with 8051 architecture.55/231

Alternate Functions. There are five SFRs used
to control the mapping of alternate functions onto
MCU port pins, and these SFRs are depicted as
switches in Figure 16., page 55.
■ Port 3 uses the SFR, P3SFS (Table
28., page 60).
■ Port 1 uses SFRs, P1SFS0 (Table
29., page 60) and P1SFS1 (Table
30., page 60).
■ Port 4 uses SFRs, P4SFS0 (Table
32., page 61) and P4SFS1 (Table
33., page 61).
Since these SFRs are cleared by a reset, then by
default all port pins function as GPIO (not the alternate
function) until firmware initializes these SFRs.
Each pin on each of the three ports can be independently
assigned a different function on a pinby-pin
basis.
The peripheral functions Timer 2, UART1, and I2C
may be split independently between Port 1 and
Port 4 for additional flexibility by giving a wider
choice of peripheral usage on a limited number of
device pins.
When the selected alternate function is UART0,
UART1, or SPI, then the related pins are in quasibidirectional
mode, including the use of the highside
driver for rapid 0-to-1 output transitions. The
high-side driver is enabled for just one MCU_CLK
period on 0-to-1 transitions by the delay function at
the “digital_alt_func_data_out” signal pictured in
Figure 17., page 56 through Figure 19., page 57.
If the alternate function is Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer
2, or PCA input, then the related pins are in quasibidirectional
mode, but input only.
If the alternate function is ADC, then for each pin
the pull-ups, the high-side driver, and the low-side
driver are disabled. The analog input is routed directly
to the ADC unit. Only Port 1 supports analog
functions (Figure 17., page 56). Port 1 is not 5V
tolerant.
If the alternate function is I2C, the related pins will
be in open drain mode, which is just like quasi-bidirectional
mode but the high-side driver is not enabled
for one cycle when outputting a 0-to-1
transition. Only the low-side driver and the internal
weak pull-ups are used. Only Port 3 supports
open-drain mode (Figure 18., page 56). I2C requires
the use of an external pull-up resistor on
each bus signal, typically 4.7KΩ to VCC.
If the alternate function is PCA output, then the related
pins are in push-pull mode, meaning the pins
are actively driven and held to logic '1' by the highside
driver, or actively driven and held to logic '0'
by the low-side driver. Only Port 4 supports pushpull
mode (Figure 19., page 57). Port 4 push-pull
pins can source IOH current when driving logic '1,'
and sink IOL current when driving logic '0.' This
current is significantly more than the capability of
pins on Port 1 or Port 3 (see Table
129., page 207).
For example, to assign these port functions:
■ Port 1: UART1, ADC[1:0], P1[7:4] are GPIO
■ Port 3: UART0, I2C, P3[5:2] are GPIO
■ Port 4: TCM0, SPI, P4[3:1] are GPIO
The following values need to be written to the
SFRs:
P1SFS0 = 00001111b, or 0Fh
P1SFS1 = 00000011b , or 03h
P3SFS = 11000011b, or C3h

MCU BUS INTERFACE
The MCU Module has a programmable bus interface.
It is based on a standard 8032 bus, with eight
data signals multiplexed with eight low-order address
signals (AD[7:0]). It also has eight high-order
non-multiplexed address signals (A[15:8]).
Time multiplexing is controlled by the address
latch signal, ALE.
This bus connects the MCU Module to the PSD
Module, and also connects to external pins only on
80-pin devices. See the AC specifications section
at the end of this document for external bus timing
on 80-pin devices.
Four types of data transfers are supported, each
transfer is to/from a memory location external to
the MCU Module:
– Code Fetch cycle using the PSEN signal: fetch
a code byte for execution
– Code Read cycle using PSEN: read a code
byte using the MOVC (Move Constant)
instruction
– XDATA Read cycle using the RD signal: read
a data byte using the MOVX (Move eXternal)
instruction
– XDATA Write cycle using the WR signal: write
a data byte using the MOVX instruction
The number of MCU_CLK periods for these transfer
types can be specified at runtime by firmware
writing to the SFR register named BUSCON (Table
35., page 63). Here, the number of MCU_CLK
clock pulses per bus cycle are specified to maximize
performance.
Important: By default, the BUSCON Register is
loaded with long bus cycle times (6 MCU_CLK periods)
after a reset condition. It is important that the
post-reset initialization firmware sets the bus cycle
times appropriately to get the most performance,
according to Table 36., page 64. Keep in mind that
the PSD Module has a faster Turbo Mode (default)
and a slower but less power consuming Non-Turbo
Mode. The bus cycle times must be programmed
in BUSCON to optimize for each mode
as shown in Table 36., page 64. See PLD NonTurbo
Mode, page 192 for more details.
Bus Read Cycles (PSEN or RD)
When the PSEN signal is used to fetch a byte of
code, the byte is read from the PSD Module or external
device and it enters the MCU Pre-Fetch
Queue (PFQ). When PSEN is used during a
MOVC instruction, or when the RD signal is used
to read a byte of data, the byte is routed directly to
the MCU, bypassing the PFQ.
Bits in the BUSCON Register determine the number
of MCU_CLK periods per bus cycle for each of
these kinds of transfers to all address ranges.
It is not possible to specify in the BUSCON Register
a different number of MCU_CLK periods for
various address ranges. For example, the user
cannot specify 4 MCU_CLK periods for RD read
cycles to one address range on the PSD Module,
and 5 MCU_CLK periods for RD read cycles to a
different address range on an external device.
However, the user can specify one number of
clock periods for PSEN read cycles and a different
number of clock periods for RD read cycles.
Note 1: A PSEN bus cycle in progress may be
aborted before completion if the PFQ and Branch
Cache (BC) determines the current code fetch cycle
is not needed.
Note 2: Whenever the same number of MCU_CLK
periods is specified in BUSCON for both PSEN
and RD cycles, the bus cycle timing is typically
identical for each of these types of bus cycles. In
this case, the only time PSEN read cycles are
longer than RD read cycles is when the PFQ issues
a stall while reloading. PFQ stalls do not affect
RD read cycles. By comparison, in many
traditional 8051 architectures, RD bus cycles are
always longer than PSEN bus cycles.
Bus Write Cycles (WR)
When the WR signal is used, a byte of data is written
directly to the PSD Module or external device,
no PFQ or caching is involved. Bits in the BUSCON
Register determine the number of
MCU_CLK periods for bus write cycles to all addresses.
It is not possible to specify in BUSCON a
different number of MCU_CLK periods for writes to
various address ranges.
Controlling the PFQ and BC
The BUSCON Register allows firmware to enable
and disable the PFQ and BC at run-time. Sometimes
it may be desired to disable the PFQ and BC
to ensure deterministic execution. The dynamic
action of the PFQ and BC may cause varying program
execution times depending on the events
that happen prior to a particular section of code of
interest. For this reason, it is not recommended to
implement timing loops in firmware, but instead
use one of the many hardware timers in the
uPSD33xx.
By default, the PFQ and BC are enabled after a reset
condition.
Important: Disabling the PFQ or BC will seriously
reduce MCU performance.63/231

SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS
Supervisory circuitry on the MCU Module will issue
an internal reset signal to the MCU Module and simultaneously
to the PSD Module as a result of any
of the following four events:
– The external RESET_IN pin is asserted
– The Low Voltage Detect (LVD) circuitry has
detected a voltage on VCC below a specific
threshold (power-on or voltage sags)
– The JTAG Debug interface has issued a reset
command
– The Watch Dog Timer (WDT) has timed out
The resulting internal reset signal, MCU_RESET,
will force the 8032 into a known reset state while
asserted, and then 8032 program execution will
jump to the reset vector at program address 0000h
just after MCU_RESET is deasserted. The MCU
Module will also assert an active low internal reset
signal, RESET, to the PSD Module. If needed, the
signal RESET can be driven out to external system
components through any PLD output pin on
the PSD Module. When driving this
“RESET_OUT” signal from a PLD output, the user
can choose to make it either active-high or activelow
logic, depending on the PLD equation.
External Reset Input Pin, RESET_IN
The RESET_IN pin can be connected directly to a
mechanical reset switch or other device which
pulls the signal to ground to invoke a reset.
RESET_IN is pulled up internally and enters a
Schmitt trigger input buffer with a voltage hysteresis
of VRST_HYS for immunity to the effects of slow
signal rise and fall times, as shown in Figure 20.
RESET_IN is also filtered to reject a voltage spike
less than a duration of tRST_FIL. The RESET_IN
signal must be maintained at a logic '0' for at least
a duration of tRST_LO_IN while the oscillator is running.
The resulting MCU_RESET signal will last
only as long as the RESET_IN signal is active (it is
not stretched). Refer to the Supervisor AC specifications
in Table 150., page 221 at the end of this
document for these parameter values.

Low VCC Voltage Detect, LVD
An internal reset is generated by the LVD circuit
when VCC drops below the reset threshold,
VLV_THRESH. After VCC returns to the reset threshold,
the MCU_RESET signal will remain asserted
for tRST_ACTV before it is released. The LVD circuit
is always enabled (cannot be disabled by SFR),
even in Idle Mode and Power-down Mode. The
LVD input has a voltage hysteresis of VRST_HYS
and will reject voltage spikes less than a duration
of tRST_FIL.
Important: The LVD voltage threshold is
VLV_THRESH, suitable for monitoring both the 3.3V
VCC supply on the MCU Module and the 3.3V VDD
supply on the PSD Module for 3.3V uPSD33xxV
devices, since these supplies are one in the same
on the circuit board.
However, for 5V uPSD33xx devices, VLV_THRESH
is not suitable for monitoring the 5V VDD voltage
supply (VLV_THRESH is too low), but good for monitoring
the 3.3V VCC supply. In the case of 5V
uPSD33xx devices, an external means is required
to monitor the separate 5V VDD supply, if desired.
Power-up Reset
At power up, the internal reset generated by the
LVD circuit is latched as a logic '1' in the POR bit
of the SFR named PCON (Table 24., page 50).
Software can read this bit to determine whether
the last MCU reset was the result of a power up
(cold reset) or a reset from some other condition
(warm reset). This bit must be cleared with software.
JTAG Debug Reset
The JTAG Debug Unit can generate a reset for debugging
purposes. This reset source is also available
when the MCU is in Idle Mode and PowerDown
Mode (the JTAG debugger can be used to
exit these modes).
Watchdog Timer, WDT
When enabled, the WDT will generate a reset
whenever it overflows. Firmware that is behaving
correctly will periodically clear the WDT before it
overflows. Run-away firmware will not be able to
clear the WDT, and a reset will be generated.
By default, the WDT is disabled after each reset.
Note: The WDT is not active during Idle mode or
Power-down Mode.
There are two SFRs that control the WDT, they are
WDKEY (Table 37., page 68) and WDRST (Table
38., page 68).
If WDKEY contains 55h, the WDT is disabled. Any
value other than 55h in WDKEY will enable the
WDT. By default, after any reset condition, WDKEY
is automatically loaded with 55h, disabling
the WDT. It is the responsibility of initialization
firmware to write some value other than 55h to
WDKEY after each reset if the WDT is to be used.
The WDT consists of a 24-bit up-counter (Figure
21), whose initial count is 000000h by default after
every reset. The most significant byte of this
counter is controlled by the SFR, WDRST. After
being enabled by WDKEY, the 24-bit count is increased
by 1 for each MCU machine cycle. When
the count overflows beyond FFFFFh (224 MCU
machine cycles), a reset is issued and the WDT is
automatically disabled (WDKEY = 55h again).
To prevent the WDT from timing out and generating
a reset, firmware must repeatedly write some
value to WDRST before the count reaches
FFFFFh. Whenever WDRST is written, the upper
8 bits of the 24-bit counter are loaded with the written
value, and the lower 16 bits of the counter are
cleared to 0000h.
The WDT time-out period can be adjusted by writing
a value other that 00h to WDRST. For example,
if WDRST is written with 04h, then the WDT
will start counting 040000h, 040001h, 040002h,
and so on for each MCU machine cycle. In this example,
the WDT time-out period is shorter than if
WDRST was written with 00h, because the WDT
is an up-counter. A value for WDRST should never
be written that results in a WDT time-out period
shorter than the time required to complete the
longest code task in the application, else unwanted
WDT overflows will occur.

SFR, WDRST AI0960467/231
uPSD33xx
The formula to determine WDT time-out period is:
WDTPERIOD = tMACH_CYC x NOVERFLOW
NOVERFLOW is the number of WDT up-counts required
to reach FFFFFFh. This is determined by
the value written to the SFR, WDRST.
tMACH_CYC is the average duration of one MCU
machine cycle. By default, an MCU machine cycle
is always 4 MCU_CLK periods for uPSD33xx, but
the following factors can sometimes add more
MCU_CLK periods per machine cycle:
– The number of MCU_CLK periods assigned to
MCU memory bus cycles as determined in the
SFR, BUSCON. If this setting is greater than
4, then machine cycles have additional
MCU_CLK periods during memory transfers.
– Whether or not the PFQ/BC circuitry issues a
stall during a particular MCU machine cycle. A
stall adds more MCU_CLK periods to a
machine cycle until the stall is removed.
tMACH_CYC is also affected by the absolute time of
a single MCU_CLK period. This number is fixed by
the following factors:
– Frequency of the external crystal, resonator,
or oscillator: (fOSC)
– Bit settings in the SFR CCON0, which can
divide fOSC and change MCU_CLK
As an example, assume the following:
1. fOSC is 40MHz, thus its period is 25ns.
2. CCON0 is 10h, meaning no clock division, so
the period of MCU_CLK is also 25ns.
3. BUSCON is C1h, meaning the PFQ and BC
are enabled, and each MCU memory bus
cycle is 4 MCU_CLK periods, adding no
additional MCU_CLK periods to MCU
machine cycles during memory transfers.
4. Assume there are no stalls from the PFQ/BC.
In reality, there are occational stalls but their
occurance has minimal impact on WDT
timeout period.
5. WDRST contains 00h, meaning a full 224 upcounts
are required to reach FFFFFh and
generate a reset.
In this example,
tMACH_CYC = 100ns (4 MCU_CLK periods x 25ns)
NOVERFLOW = 224 = 16777216 up-counts
WDTPERIOD = 100ns X 16777216 = 1.67 seconds
The actual value will be slightly longer due to PFQ/
BC.
Firmware Example: The following 8051 assembly
code illustrates how to operate the WDT. A
simple statement in the reset initialization firmware
enables the WDT, and then a periodic write to
clear the WDT in the main firmware is required to
keep the WDT from overflowing. This firmware is
based on the example above (40MHz fOSC,
CCON0 = 10h, BUSCON = C1h).
For example, in the reset initialization firmware
(the function that executes after a jump to the reset
vector):
Somewhere in the flow of the main program, this
statement will execute periodically to reset the
WDT before it’s time-out period of 1.67 seconds.
For example:
MOV AE, #AA ; enable WDT by writing value to
; WDKEY other than 55h
MOV A6, #00 ; reset WDT, loading 000000h.

; resume as long as 55h in not in

STANDARD 8032 TIMER/COUNTERS
There are three 8032-style 16-bit Timer/Counter
registers (Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer 2) that can be
configured to operate as timers or event counters.
There are two additional 16-bit Timer/Counters in
the Programmable Counter Array (PCA), seePCA
Block, page 123 for details.
Standard Timer SFRs
Timer 0 and Timer 1 have very similar functions,
and they share two SFRs for control:
■ TCON (Table 39., page 70)
■ TMOD (Table 40., page 72).
Timer 0 has two SFRs that form the 16-bit counter,
or that can hold reload values, or that can scale
the clock depending on the timer/counter mode:
■ TH0 is the high byte, address 8Ch
■ TL0 is the low byte, address 8Ah
Timer 1 has two similar SFRs:
■ TH1 is the high byte, address 8Dh
■ TL1 is the low byte, address 8Bh
Timer 2 has one control SFR:
■ T2CON (Table 41., page 75)
Timer 2 has two SFRs that form the 16-bit counter,
and perform other functions:
■ TH2 is the high byte, address CDh
■ TL2 is the low byte, address CCh
Timer 2 has two SFRs for capture and reload:
■ RCAP2H is the high byte, address CBh
■ RCAP2L is the low byte, address CAh
Clock Sources
When enabled in the “Timer” function, the Registers
THx and TLx are incremented every 1/12 of
the oscillator frequency (fOSC). This timer clock
source is not effected by MCU clock dividers in the
CCON0, stalls from PFQ/BC, or bus transfer cycles.
Timers are always clocked at 1/12 of fOSC.
When enabled in the “Counter” function, the Registers
THx and TLx are incremented in response to
a 1-to-0 transition sampled at their corresponding
external input pin: pin C0 for Timer 0; pin C1 for
Timer 1; or pin T2 for Timer 2. In this function, the
external clock input pin is sampled by the counter
at a rate of 1/12 of fOSC. When a logic '1' is determined
in one sample, and a logic '0' in the next
sample period, the count is incremented at the
very next sample period (period1: sample=1,
period2: sample=0, period3: increment count
while continuing to sample). This means the maximum
count rate is 1/24 of the fOSC. There are no
restrictions on the duty cycle of the external input
signal, but to ensure that a given level is sampled
at least once before it changes, it should be active
for at least one full sample period (12 / fOSC, seconds).
However, if MCU_CLK is divided by the
SFR CCON0, then the sample period must be calculated
based on the resultant, longer, MCU_CLK
frequency. In this case, an external clock signal on
pins C0, C1, or T2 should have a duration longer
than one MCU machine cycle, tMACH_CYC. The
section, Watchdog Timer, WDT, page 66 explains
how to estimate tMACH_CYC.uPSD33xx

SFR, TCON
Timer 0 and Timer 1 share the SFR, TCON, that
controls these timers and provides information
about them. See Table 39., page 70.
Bits IE0 and IE1 are not related to Timer/Counter
functions, but they are set by hardware when a
signal is active on one of the two external interrupt
pins, EXTINT0 and EXTINT1. For system information
on all of these interrupts, see Table
16., page 41, Interrupt Summary.
Bits IT0 and IT1 are not related to Timer/Counter
functions, but they control whether or not the two
external interrupt input pins, EXTINT0 and
EXTINT1 are edge or level triggered.
SFR, TMOD
Timer 0 and Timer 1 have four modes of operation
controlled by the SFR named TMOD (Table 40).
Timer 0 and Timer 1 Operating Modes
The “Timer” or “Counter” function is selected by
the C/T control bits in TMOD. The four operating
modes are selected by bit-pairs M[1:0] in TMOD.
Modes 0, 1, and 2 are the same for both Timer/
Counters. Mode 3 is different.
Mode 0. Putting either Timer/Counter into Mode 0
makes it an 8-bit Counter with a divide-by-32 prescaler.
Figure 22 shows Mode 0 operation as it applies
to Timer 1 (same applies to Timer 0).
In this mode, the Timer Register is configured as a
13-bit register. As the count rolls over from all '1s'
to all '0s,' it sets the Timer Interrupt flag TF1. The
counted input is enabled to the Timer when
TR1 = 1 and either GATE = 0 or EXTINT1 = 1.
(Setting GATE = 1 allows the Timer to be controlled
by external input pin, EXTINT1, to facilitate
pulse width measurements). TR1 is a control bit in
the SFR, TCON. GATE is a bit in the SFR, TMOD.
The 13-bit register consists of all 8 bits of TH1 and
the lower 5 bits of TL1. The upper 3 bits of TL1 are
indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting the
run flag, TR1, does not clear the registers.
Mode 0 operation is the same for the Timer 0 as
for Timer 1. Substitute TR0, TF0, C0, TL0, TH0,
and EXTINT0 for the corresponding Timer 1 signals
in Figure 22. There are two different GATE
Bits, one for Timer 1 and one for Timer 0.
Mode 1. Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except
that the Timer Register is being run with all 16 bits.
Mode 2. Mode 2 configures the Timer Register as
an 8-bit Counter (TL1) with automatic reload, as
shown in Figure 23., page 73. Overflow from TL1
not only sets TF1, but also reloads TL1 with the
contents of TH1, which is preset with firmware.
The reload leaves TH1 unchanged. Mode 2 operation
is the same for Timer/Counter 0.
Mode 3. Timer 1 in Mode 3 simply holds its count.
The effect is the same as setting TR1 = 0.
Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two
separate counters. The logic for Mode 3 on Timer
0 is shown in Figure 24., page 73. TL0 uses the
Timer 0 control Bits: C/T, GATE, TR0, and TF0, as
well as the pin EXTINT0. TH0 is locked into a timer
function (counting at a rate of 1/12 fOSC) and takes
over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer 1. Thus,
TH0 now controls the “Timer 1“ interrupt flag.
Mode 3 is provided for applications requiring an
extra 8-bit timer on the counter (see Figure
24., page 73). With Timer 0 in Mode 3, a
uPSD33xx device can look like it has three Timer/
Counters (not including the PCA). When Timer 0 is
in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned on and off by
switching it out of and into its own Mode 3, or can
still be used by the serial port as a baud rate generator,
or in fact, in any application not requiring an
interrupt.uPSD33xx

Timer 2
Timer 2 can operate as either an event timer or as
an event counter. This is selected by the bit C/T2
in the SFR named, T2CON (Table 41., page 75).
Timer 2 has three operating modes selected by
bits in T2CON, according to Table 42., page 76.
The three modes are:
■ Capture mode
■ Auto re-load mode
■ Baud rate generator mode
Capture Mode. In Capture Mode there are two
options which are selected by the bit EXEN2 in
T2CON. Figure 25., page 79 illustrates Capture
mode.
If EXEN2 = 0, then Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer if C/T2
= 0, or it’s a 16-bit counter if C/T2 = 1, either of
which sets the interrupt flag bit TF2 upon overflow.
If EXEN2 = 1, then Timer 2 still does the above,
but with the added feature that a 1-to-0 transition
at external input pin T2X causes the current value
in the Timer 2 registers, TL2 and TH2, to be captured
into Registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H, respectively.
In addition, the transition at T2X
causes interrupt flag bit EXF2 in T2CON to be set.
Either flag TF2 or EXF2 will generate an interrupt
and the MCU must read both flags to determine
the cause. Flags TF2 and EXF2 are not automatically
cleared by hardware, so the firmware servicing
the interrupt must clear the flag(s) upon exit of
the interrupt service routine.
Auto-reload Mode. In the Auto-reload Mode,
there are again two options, which are selected by
the bit EXEN2 in T2CON. Figure 26., page 79
shows Auto-reload mode.
If EXEN2 = 0, then when Timer 2 counts up and
rolls over from FFFFh it not only sets the interrupt
flag TF2, but also causes the Timer 2 registers to
be reloaded with the 16-bit value contained in
Registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H, which are preset
with firmware.
If EXEN2 = 1, then Timer 2 still does the above,
but with the added feature that a 1-to-0 transition
at external input T2X will also trigger the 16-bit reload
and set the interrupt flag EXF2. Again, firmware
servicing the interrupt must read both TF2
and EXF2 to determine the cause, and clear the
flag(s) upon exit.
Note: The uPSD33xx does not support selectable
up/down counting in Auto-reload mode (this feature
was an extension to the original 8032 architecture).75/231

Baud Rate Generator Mode. The RCLK and/or
TCLK Bits in the SFR T2CON allow the transmit
and receive baud rates on serial port UART0 to be
derived from either Timer 1 or Timer 2. Figure
27., page 80 illustrates Baud Rate Generator
Mode.
When TCLK = 0, Timer 1 is used as UART0’s
transmit baud generator. When TCLK = 1, Timer 2
will be the transmit baud generator. RCLK has the
same effect for UART0’s receive baud rate. With
these two bits, UART0 can have different receive
and transmit baud rates - one generated by Timer
1, the other by Timer 2.
Note: Bits RCLK1 and TCLK1 in the SFR named
PCON (see PCON: Power Control Register (SFR
87h, reset value 00h), page 50) have identical
functions as RCLK and TCLK but they apply to
UART1 instead. For simplicity in the following discussions
about baud rate generation, no suffix will
be used when referring to SFR registers and bits
related to UART0 or UART1, since each UART interface
has identical operation. Example, TCLK or
TCLK1 will be referred to as just TCLK.
The Baud Rate Generator Mode is similar to the
Auto-reload Mode, in that a roll over in TH2 causes
the Timer 2 registers, TH2 and TL2, to be reloaded
with the 16-bit value in Registers RCAP2H and
RCAP2L, which are preset with firmware.
The baud rates in UART Modes 1 and 3 are determined
by Timer 2’s overflow rate as follows:
UART Mode 1,3 Baud Rate =
Timer 2 Overflow Rate / 16
The timer can be configured for either “timer” or
“counter” operation. In the most typical applications,
it is configured for “timer” operation (C/T2 =
0). “Timer” operation is a little different for Timer 2
when it's being used as a baud rate generator. In
this case, the baud rate is given by the formula:
UART Mode 1,3 Baud Rate =
fOSC/(32 x [65536 – [RCAP2H, RCAP2L]))
where [RCAP2H, RCAP2L] is the content of the
SFRs RCAP2H and RCAP2L taken as a 16-bit unsigned
integer.
A roll-over in TH2 does not set TF2, and will not
generate an interrupt. Therefore, the Timer Interrupt
does not have to be disabled when Timer 2 is
in the Baud Rate Generator Mode.
If EXEN2 is set, a 1-to-0 transition on pin T2X will
set the Timer 2 interrupt flag EXF2, but will not
cause a reload from RCAP2H and RCAP2L to
TH2 and TL2. Thus when Timer 2 is in use as a
baud rate generator, the pin T2X can be used as
an extra external interrupt, if desired.
When Timer 2 is running (TR2 = 1) in a “timer”
function in the Baud Rate Generator Mode, firmware
should not read or write TH2 or TL2. Under
these conditions the results of a read or write may
not be accurate. However, SFRs RCAP2H and
RCAP2L may be read, but should not be written,
because a write might overlap a reload and cause
write and/or reload errors. Timer 2 should be
turned off (clear TR2) before accessing Timer 2 or
Registers RCAP2H and RCAP2L, in this case.

rates and how they can be obtained from Timer 2,
with T2CON = 34h.uPSD33xx

SERIAL UART INTERFACES
uPSD33xx devices provide two standard 8032
UART serial ports.
– The first port, UART0, is connected to pins
RxD0 (P3.0) and TxD0 (P3.1)
– The second port, UART1 is connected to pins
RxD1 (P1.2) and TxD1 (P1.3). UART1 can
optionally be routed to pins P4.2 and P4.3 as
described in Alternate Functions, page 59.
The operation of the two serial ports are the same
and are controlled by two SFRs:
■ SCON0 (Table 45., page 82) for UART0
■ SCON1 (Table 46., page 83) for UART1
Each UART has its own data buffer accessed
through an SFR listed below:
■ SBUF0 for UART0, address 99h
■ SBUF1 for UART1, address D9h
When writing SBU0 or SBUF1, the data automatically
loads into the associated UART transmit data
register. When reading this SFR, data comes from
a different physical register, which is the receive
register of the associated UART.
Note: For simplicity in the remaining UART discussions,
the suffix “0” or “1” will be dropped when
referring to SFR registers and bits related to
UART0 or UART1, since each UART interface has
identical operation. Example, SBUF0 and SBUF1
will be referred to as just SBUF.
Each UART serial port can be full-duplex, meaning
it can transmit and receive simultaneously. Each
UART is also receive-buffered, meaning it can
commence reception of a second byte before a
previously received byte has been read from the
SBUF Register. However, if the first byte still has
not been read by the time reception of the second
byte is complete, one of the bytes will be lost.
UART Operation Modes
Each UART can operate in one of four modes, one
mode is synchronous, and the others are asynchronous
as shown in Table 44.
Mode 0. Mode 0 provides asynchronous, half-duplex
operation. Serial data is both transmitted, and
received on the RxD pin. The TxD pin outputs a
shift clock for both transmit and receive directions,
thus the MCU must be the master. Eight bits are
transmitted/received LSB first. The baud rate is
fixed at 1/12 of fOSC.
Mode 1. Mode 1 provides standard asynchronous,
full-duplex communication using a total of 10
bits per data byte. Data is transmitted through TxD
and received through RxD with: a Start Bit (logic
'0'), eight data bits (LSB first), and a Stop Bit (logic
'1'). Upon receive, the eight data bits go into the
SFR SBUF, and the Stop Bit goes into bit RB8 of
the SFR SCON. The baud rate is variable and derived
from overflows of Timer 1 or Timer 2.
Mode 2. Mode 2 provides asynchronous, full-duplex
communication using a total of 11 bits per
data byte. Data is transmitted through TxD and received
through RxD with: a Start Bit (logic '0');
eight data bits (LSB first); a programmable 9th
data bit; and a Stop Bit (logic '1'). Upon Transmit,
the 9th data bit (from bit TB8 in SCON) can be assigned
the value of '0' or '1.' Or, for example, the
Parity Bit (P, in the PSW) could be moved into
TB8. Upon receive, the 9th data bit goes into RB8
in SCON, while the Stop Bit is ignored. The baud
rate is programmable to either 1/32 or 1/64 of
fOSC.
Mode 3. Mode 3 is the same as Mode 2 in all respects
except the baud rate is variable like it is in
Mode 1.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any
instruction that uses SBUF as a destination register.
Reception is initiated in Mode 0 by the condition
RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is initiated in
the other modes by the incoming Start Bit if
REN = 1.

Multiprocessor Communications. Modes 2 and
3 have a special provision for multiprocessor communications.
In these modes, 9 data bits are received.
The 9th one goes into bit RB8, then comes
a stop bit. The port can be programmed such that
when the stop bit is received, the UART interrupt
will be activated only if bit RB8 = 1. This feature is
enabled by setting bit SM2 in SCON. A way to use
this feature in multi-processor systems is as follows:
When the master processor wants to transmit
a block of data to one of several slaves, it first
sends out an address byte which identifies the target
slave. An address byte differs from a data byte
in that the 9th bit is 1 in an address byte and 0 in a
data byte. With SM2 = 1, no slave will be interrupted
by a data byte. An address byte, however, will
interrupt all slaves, so that each slave can examine
the received byte and see if it is being addressed.
The addressed slave will clear its SM2 bit
and prepare to receive the data bytes that will be
coming. The slaves that were not being addressed
leave their SM2 bits set and go on about their business,
ignoring the coming data bytes.
SM2 has no effect in Mode 0, and in Mode 1, SM2
can be used to check the validity of the stop bit. In
a Mode 1 reception, if SM2 = 1, the receive interrupt
will not be activated unless a valid stop bit is
received.
Serial Port Control Registers
The SFR SCON0 controls UART0, and SCON1
controls UART1, shown in Table 45 and Table 46.
These registers contain not only the mode selection
bits, but also the 9th data bit for transmit and
receive (bits TB8 and RB8), and the UART Interrupt
flags, TI and RI.

84/231
UART Baud Rates
The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed:
Mode 0 Baud Rate = fOSC / 12
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of
the bit SMOD in the SFR named PCON. If SMOD
= 0 (default value), the baud rate is 1/64 the oscillator
frequency, fOSC. If SMOD = 1, the baud rate
is 1/32 the oscillator frequency.
Mode 2 Baud Rate = (2SMOD / 64) x fOSC
Baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by
the Timer 1 or Timer 2 overflow rate.
Using Timer 1 to Generate Baud Rates. When
Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator (bits
RCLK = 0, TCLK = 0), the baud rates in Modes 1
and 3 are determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate
and the value of SMOD as follows:
Mode 1,3 Baud Rate =
(2SMOD / 32) x (Timer 1 overflow rate)
The Timer 1 Interrupt should be disabled in this
application. The Timer itself can be configured for
either “timer” or “counter” operation, and in any of
its 3 running modes. In the most typical applications,
it is configured for “timer” operation, in the
Auto-reload Mode (high nibble of the SFR TMOD
= 0010B). In that case the baud rate is given by the
formula:
Mode 1,3 Baud Rate =
(2SMOD / 32) x (fOSC / (12 x [256 – (TH1)]))

Refer to the block diagram in Figure 28., page 86,
and timing diagram in Figure 29., page 86.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction which
writes to the SFR named SBUF. At the end of a
write operation to SBUF, a 1 is loaded into the 9th
position of the transmit shift register and tells the
TX Control unit to begin a transmission. Transmission
begins on the following MCU machine cycle,
when the “SEND” signal is active in Figure 29.
SEND enables the output of the shift register to the
alternate function on the port containing pin RxD,
and also enables the SHIFT CLOCK signal to the
alternate function on the port containing the pin,
TxD. At the end of each SHIFT CLOCK in which
SEND is active, the contents of the transmit shift
register are shifted to the right one position.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros come in
from the left. When the MSB of the data byte is at
the output position of the shift register, then the '1'
that was initially loaded into the 9th position, is just
to the left of the MSB, and all positions to the left
of that contain zeros. This condition flags the TX
Control unit to do one last shift, then deactivate
SEND, and then set the interrupt flag TI. Both of
these actions occur at S1P1.
Reception is initiated by the condition REN = 1 and
RI = 0. At the end of the next MCU machine cycle,
the RX Control unit writes the bits 11111110 to the
receive shift register, and in the next clock phase
activates RECEIVE. RECEIVE enables the SHIFT
CLOCK signal to the alternate function on the port
containing the pin, TxD. Each pulse of SHIFT
CLOCK moves the contents of the receive shift
register one position to the left while RECEIVE is
active. The value that comes in from the right is the
value that was sampled at the RxD pin. As data
bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left.
When the 0 that was initially loaded into the rightmost
position arrives at the left-most position in the
shift register, it flags the RX Control unit to do one
last shift, and then it loads SBUF. After this, RECEIVE
is cleared, and the receive interrupt flag RI
is set.uPSD33xx

More About UART Mode 1
Refer to the block diagram in Figure 30., page 88,
and timing diagram in Figure 31., page 88.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction which
writes to SBUF. At the end of a write operation to
SBUF, a '1' is loaded into the 9th position of the
transmit shift register and flags the TX Control unit
that a transmission is requested. Transmission actually
starts at the end of the MCU the machine cycle
following the next rollover in the divide-by-16
counter. Thus, the bit times are synchronized to
the divide-by-16 counter, not to the writing of
SBUF. Transmission begins with activation of
SEND which puts the start bit at pin TxD. One bit
time later, DATA is activated, which enables the
output bit of the transmit shift register to pin TxD.
The first shift pulse occurs one bit time after that.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros are clocked
in from the left. When the MSB of the data byte is
at the output position of the shift register, then the
1 that was initially loaded into the 9th position is
just to the left of the MSB, and all positions to the
left of that contain zeros. This condition flags the
TX Control unit to do one last shift and then deactivates
SEND, and sets the interrupt flag, TI. This
occurs at the 10th divide-by-16 rollover after a
write to SBUF.
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition
at the pin RxD. For this purpose RxD is sampled
at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate has
been established. When a transition is detected,
the divide-by-16 counter is immediately reset, and
1FFH is written into the input shift register. Resetting
the divide-by-16 counter aligns its rollovers
with the boundaries of the incoming bit times. The
16 states of the counter divide each bit time into
16ths. At the 7th, 8th, and 9th counter states of
each bit time, the bit detector samples the value of
RxD. The value accepted is the value that was
seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. This is done for
noise rejection. If the value accepted during the
first bit time is not '0,' the receive circuits are reset
and the unit goes back to looking for another '1'-to-
'0' transition. This is to provide rejection of false
start bits. If the start bit proves valid, it is shifted
into the input shift register, and reception of the reset
of the rest of the frame will proceed. As data
bits come in from the right, '1s' shift out to the left.
When the start bit arrives at the left-most position
in the shift register (which in mode 1 is a 9-bit register),
it flags the RX Control unit to do one last
shift, load SBUF and RB8, and set the receive interrupt
flag RI. The signal to load SBUF and RB8,
and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the
following conditions are met at the time the final
shift pulse is generated:
1. RI = 0, and
2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received stop bit = 1.
If either of these two conditions are not met, the received
frame is irretrievably lost. If both conditions
are met, the stop bit goes into RB8, the 8 data bits
go into SBUF, and RI is activated. At this time,
whether the above conditions are met or not, the
unit goes back to looking for a '1'-to-'0' transition
on pin RxD.uPSD33xx

More About UART Modes 2 and 3
For Mode 2, refer to the block diagram in Figure
32., page 90, and timing diagram in Figure
33., page 90. For Mode 3, refer to the block diagram
in Figure 34., page 91, and timing diagram in
Figure 35., page 91.
Keep in mind that the baud rate is programmable
to either 1/32 or 1/64 of fOSC in Mode 2, but Mode
3 uses a variable baud rate generated from Timer
1 or Timer 2 rollovers.
The receive portion is exactly the same as in Mode
1. The transmit portion differs from Mode 1 only in
the 9th bit of the transmit shift register.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction which
writes to SBUF. At the end of a write operation to
SBUF, the TB8 Bit is loaded into the 9th position of
the transmit shift register and flags the TX Control
unit that a transmission is requested. Transmission
actually starts at the end of the MCU the machine
cycle following the next rollover in the divideby-16
counter. Thus, the bit times are synchronized
to the divide-by-16 counter, not to the writing
of SBUF. Transmission begins with activation of
SEND which puts the start bit at pin TxD. One bit
time later, DATA is activated, which enables the
output bit of the transmit shift register to pin TxD.
The first shift pulse occurs one bit time after that.
The first shift clocks a '1' (the stop bit) into the 9th
bit position of the shift register. There-after, only
zeros are clocked in. Thus, as data bits shift out to
the right, zeros are clocked in from the left. When
bit TB8 is at the output position of the shift register,
then the stop bit is just to the left of TB8, and all positions
to the left of that contain zeros. This condition
flags the TX Control unit to do one last shift
and then deactivate SEND, and set the interrupt
flag, TI. This occurs at the 11th divide-by 16 rollover
after writing to SBUF.
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition
at pin RxD. For this purpose RxD is sampled
at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate has been
established. When a transition is detected, the divide-by-16
counter is immediately reset, and 1FFH
is written to the input shift register. At the 7th, 8th,
and 9th counter states of each bit time, the bit detector
samples the value of RxD. The value accepted
is the value that was seen in at least 2 of
the 3 samples. If the value accepted during the
first bit time is not '0,' the receive circuits are reset
and the unit goes back to looking for another '1'-to-
'0' transition. If the start bit proves valid, it is shifted
into the input shift register, and reception of the
rest of the frame will proceed. As data bits come in
from the right, '1s' shift out to the left. When the
start bit arrives at the left-most position in the shift
register (which in Modes 2 and 3 is a 9-bit register),
it flags the RX Control unit to do one last shift,
load SBUF and RB8, and set the interrupt flag RI.
The signal to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI,
will be generated if, and only if, the following conditions
are met at the time the final shift pulse is
generated:
1. RI = 0, and
2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received 9th data bit = 1.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received
frame is irretrievably lost, and RI is not set. If both
conditions are met, the received 9th data bit goes
into RB8, and the first 8 data bits go into SBUF.
One bit time later, whether the above conditions
were met or not, the unit goes back to looking for
a '1'-to-'0' transition on pin RxD.uPSD33xx

IrDA INTERFACE
uPSD33xx devices provide an internal IrDA interface
that will allow the connection of the UART1
serial interface directly to an external infrared
transceiver device. The IrDA interface does this by
automatically shortening the pulses transmitted on
UART1’s TxD1 pin, and stretching the incoming
pulses received on the RxD1 pin. Reference Figures
36 and 37.
When the IrDA interface is enabled, the output signal
from UART1’s transmitter logic on pin TxD1 is
compliant with the IrDA Physical Layer Link Specification
v1.4 (www.irda.org) operating from 1.2k
bps up to 115.2k bps. The pulses received on the
RxD1 pin are stretched by the IrDA interface to be
recognized by UART1’s receiver logic, also adhering
to the IrDA specification up to 115.2k bps.
Note: In Figure 37 a logic '0' in the serial data
stream of a UART Frame corresponds to a logic
high pulse in an IR Frame. A logic '1' in a UART
Frame corresponds to no pulse in an IR Frame.

The UART1 serial channel can operate in one of
four different modes as shown in Table
44., page 81 in the section, SERIAL UART
INTERFACES, page 81. However, when UART1
is used for IrDA communication, UART1 must operate
in Mode 1 only, to be compatible with IrDA
protocol up to 115.2k bps. The IrDA interface will
support baud rates generated from Timer 1 or Timer
2, just like standard UART serial communication,
but with one restriction. The transmit baud
rate and receive baud rate must be the same (cannot
be different rates as is allowed by standard
UART communications).
The IrDA Interface is disabled after a reset and is
enabled by setting the IRDAEN Bit in the SFR
named IRDACON (Table 48., page 93). When
IrDA is disabled, the UART1's RxD and TxD signals
will bypass the internal IrDA logic and instead
they are routed directly to the pins RxD1 and TxD1
respectively. When IrDA is enabled, the IrDA pulse
shaping logic is active and resides between
UART1 and the pins RxD1 and TxD1 as shown in
Figure 36., page 92.

Pulse Width Selection
The IrDA interface has two ways to modulate the
standard UART1 serial stream:
1. An IrDA data pulse will have a constant pulse
width for any bit time, regardless of the
selected baud rate.
2. An IrDA data pulse will have a pulse width that
is proportional to the the bit time of the
selected baud rate. In this case, an IrDA data
pulse width is 3/16 of its bit time, as shown in
Figure 37., page 92.
The PULSE bit in the SFR named IRDACON determines
which method above will be used.
According to the IrDA physical layer specification,
for all baud rates at 115.2k bps and below, the
minimum data pulse width is 1.41µs. For a baud
rate of 115.2k bps, the maximum pulse width
2.23µs. If a constant pulse width is to be used for
all baud rates (PULSE bit = 0), the ideal general
pulse width is 1.63µs, derived from the bit time of
the fastest baud rate (8.68µs bit time for 115.2k
bps rate), multiplied by the proportion, 3/16.
To produce this fixed data pulse width when the
PULSE bit = 0, a prescaler is needed to generate
an internal reference clock, SIRClk, shown in Figure
36., page 92. SIRClk is derived by dividing the
oscillator clock frequency, fOSC, using the five bits
CDIV[4:0] in the SFR named IRDACON. A divisor
must be chosen to produce a frequency for SIRClk
that lies between 1.34 MHz and 2.13 MHz, but it is
best to choose a divisor value that produces SIRClk
frequency as close to 1.83MHz as possible,
because SIRClk at 1.83MHz will produce an fixed
IrDA data pulse width of 1.63µs. Table 49 provides
recommended values for CDIV[4:0] based on several
different values of fOSC.
For reference, SIRClk of 2.13MHz will generate a
fixed IrDA data pulse width of 1.41µs, and SIRClk
of 1.34MHz will generate a fixed data pulse width
of 2.23µs.
Table 49. Recommended CDIV[4:0] Values to Generate SIRClk (default CDIV[4:0] = 0Fh, 15 decimal)
Note: 1. When PULSE bit = 0 (fixed data pulse width), this is minimum recommended fOSC because CDIV[4:0] must be 4 or greater.

I
2C INTERFACE
uPSD33xx devices support one serial I2C interface.
This is a two-wire communication channel,
having a bi-directional data signal (SDA, pin P3.6)
and a clock signal (SCL, pin P3.7) based on opendrain
line drivers, requiring external pull-up resistors,
RP, each with a typical value of 4.7kΩ (see
Figure 38).
I
2C Interface Main Features
Byte-wide data is transferred, MSB first, between
a Master device and a Slave device on two wires.
More than one bus Master is allowed, but only one
Master may control the bus at any given time. Data
is not lost when another Master requests the use
of a busy bus because I2C supports collision detection
and arbitration. The bus Master initiates all
data movement and generates the clock that permits
the transfer. Once a transfer is initiated by the
Master, any device addressed is considered a
Slave. Automatic clock synchronization allows I2C
devices with different bit rates to communicate on
the same physical bus. A single device can play
the role of Master or Slave, or a single device can
be a Slave only. Each Slave device on the bus has
a unique address, and a general broadcast address
is also available. A Master or Slave device
has the ability to suspend data transfers if the device
needs more time to transmit or receive data.
This I2C interface has the following features:
– Serial I/O Engine (SIOE): serial/parallel
conversion; bus arbitration; clock generation
and synchronization; and handshaking are all
performed in hardware
– Interrupt or Polled operation
– Multi-master capability
– 7-bit Addressing
– Supports standard speed I2C (SCL up to
100kHz), fast mode I2C (101KHz to 400kHz),
and high-speed mode I2C (401KHz to
833kHz)

Note: 1. For 3.3V system, connect RP to 3.3V VCC. For 5.0V system, connect RP to 5.0V VDD.

Communication Flow
I
2C data flow control is based on the fact that all
I
2C compatible devices will drive the bus lines with
open-drain (or open-collector) line drivers pulled
up with external resistors, creating a wired-AND
situation. This means that either bus line (SDA or
SCL) will be at a logic '1' level only when no I2C device
is actively driving the line to logic '0.' The logic
for handshaking, arbitration, synchronization, and
collision detection is implemented by each I2C device
having:
1. The ability to hold a line low against the will of
the other devices who are trying to assert the
line high.
2. The ability of a device to detect that another
device is driving the line low against its will.
Assert high means the driver releases the line and
external pull-ups passively raise the signal to logic
'1.' Holding low means the open-drain driver is
actively pulling the signal to ground for a logic '0.'
For example, if a Slave device cannot transmit or
receive a byte because it is distracted by and interrupt
or it has to wait for some process to complete,
it can hold the SCL clock line low. Even though the
Master device is generating the SCL clock, the
Master will sense that the Slave is holding the SCL
line low against the will of the Master, indicating
that the Master must wait until the Slave releases
SCL before proceeding with the transfer.
Another example is when two Master devices try
to put information on the bus simultaneously, the
first one to release the SDA data line looses arbitration
while the winner continues to hold SDA low.
Two types of data transfers are possible with I2C
depending on the R/W bit, see Figure
39., page 97.
1. Data transfer from Master Transmitter to
Slave Receiver (R/W = 0). In this case, the
Master generates a START condition on the
bus and it generates a clock signal on the SCL
line. Then the Master transmits the first byte
on the SDA line containing the 7-bit Slave
address plus the R/W bit. The Slave who owns
that address will respond with an acknowledge
bit on SDA, and all other Slave devices will not
respond. Next, the Master will transmit a data
byte (or bytes) that the addressed Slave must
receive. The Slave will return an acknowledge
bit after each data byte it successfully
receives. After the final byte is transmitted by
the Master, the Master will generate a STOP
condition on the bus, or it will generate a RESTART
conditon and begin the next transfer.
There is no limit to the number of bytes that
can be transmitted during a transfer session.
2. Data transfer from Slave Transmitter to
Master Receiver (R/W = 1). In this case, the
Master generates a START condition on the
bus and it generates a clock signal on the SCL
line. Then the Master transmits the first byte
on the SDA line containing the 7-bit Slave
address plus the R/W bit. The Slave who owns
that address will respond with an acknowledge
bit on SDA, and all other Slave devices will not
respond. Next, the addressed Slave will
transmit a data byte (or bytes) to the Master.
The Master will return an acknowledge bit
after each data byte it successfully receives,
unless it is the last byte the Master desires. If
so, the Master will not acknowledge the last
byte and from this, the Slave knows to stop
transmitting data bytes to the Master. The
Master will then generate a STOP condition on
the bus, or it will generate a RE-START
conditon and begin the next transfer. There is
no limit to the number of bytes that can be
transmitted during a transfer session.
A few things to know related to these transfers:
– Either the Master or Slave device can hold the
SCL clock line low to indicate it needs more
time to handle a byte transfer. An indefinite
holding period is possible.
– A START condition is generated by a Master
and recognized by a Slave when SDA has a 1-
to-0 transition while SCL is high (Figure
39., page 97).
– A STOP condition is generated by a Master
and recognized by a Slave when SDA has a 0-
to1 transition while SCL is high (Figure
39., page 97).
– A RE-START (repeated START) condition
generated by a Master can have the same
function as a STOP condition when starting
another data transfer immediately following
the previous data transfer (Figure
39., page 97).
– When transferring data, the logic level on the
SDA line must remain stable while SCL is
high, and SDA can change only while SCL is
low. However, when not transferring data,
SDA may change state while SCL is high,
which creates the START and STOP bus
conditions.97/231
uPSD33xx
– An Acknowlegde bit is generated from a
Master or a Slave by driving SDA low during
the “ninth” bit time, just following each 8-bit
byte that is transfered on the bus (Figure
39., page 97). A Non-Acknowledge occurs
when SDA is asserted high during the ninth bit
time. All byte transfers on the I2C bus include
a 9th bit time reserved for an Acknowlege
(ACK) or Non-Acknowledge (NACK).
– An additional Master device that desires to
control the bus should wait until the bus is not
busy before generating a START condition so
that a possible Slave operation is not
interrupted.
– If two Master devices both try to generate a
START condition simultaneously, the Master
who looses arbitration will switch immediately
to Slave mode so it can recoginize it’s own
Slave address should it appear on the bus.

Operating Modes
The I2C interface supports four operating modes:
■ Master-Transmitter
■ Master-Receiver
■ Slave-Transmitter
■ Slave-Receiver
The interface may operate as either a Master or a
Slave within a given application, controlled by firmware
writing to SFRs.
By default after a reset, the I2C interface is in Master
Receiver mode, and the SDA/P3.6 and SCL/
P3.7 pins default to GPIO input mode, high impedance,
so there is no I2C bus interference. Before
using the I2C interface, it must be initialized by
firmware, and the pins must be configured. This is
discussed in I
2C Operating Sequences, page 108.
Bus Arbitration
A Master device always samples the I2C bus to
ensure a bus line is high whenever that Master is
asserting a logic 1. If the line is low at that time, the
Master recognizes another device is overriding it’s
own transmission.
A Master may start a transfer only if the I2C bus is
not busy. However, it’s possible that two or more
Masters may generate a START condition simultaneously.
In this case, arbitration takes place on the
SDA line each time SCL is high. The Master that
first senses that its bus sample does not correspond
to what it is driving (SDA line is low while it’s
asserting a high) will immediately change from
Master-Transmitter to Slave-Receiver mode. The
arbitration process can carry on for many bit times
if both Masters are addressing the same Slave device,
and will continue into the data bits if both
Masters are trying to be Master-Transmitter. It is
also possible for arbitration to carry on into the acknowledge
bits if both Masters are trying to be
Master-Receiver. Because address and data information
on the bus is determined by the winning
Master, no information is lost during the arbitration
process.
Clock Synchronization
Clock synchronization is used to synchronize arbitrating
Masters, or used as a handshake by a devices
to slow down the data transfer.
Clock Sync During Arbitration. During bus arbitration
between competing Masters, Master_X,
with the longest low period on SCL, will force
Master_Y to wait until Master_X finishes its low
period before Master_Y proceeds to assert its high
period on SCL. At this point, both Masters begin
asserting their high period on SCL simultaneously,
and the Master with the shortest high period will be
the first to drive SCL for the next low period. In this
scheme, the Master with the longest low SCL period
paces low times, and the Master with the
shortest high SCL period paces the high times,
making synchronized arbitration possible.
Clock Sync During Handshaking. This allows
receivers in different devices to handle various
transfer rates, either at the byte-level, or bit-level.
At the byte-level, a device may pause the transfer
between bytes by holding SCL low to have time to
store the latest received byte or fetch the next byte
to transmit.
At the bit-level, a Slave device may extend the low
period of SCL by holding it low. Thus the speed of
any Master device will adapt to the internal operation
of the Slave.
General Call Address
A General Call (GC) occurs when a Master-Transmitter
initiates a transfer containing a Slave address
of 0000000b, and the R/W bit is logic 0. All
Slave devices capable of responding to this broadcast
message will acknowledge the GC simultaneously
and then behave as a Slave-Receiver.
The next byte transmitted by the Master will be accepted
and acknowledged by all Slaves capable of
handling the special data bytes. A Slave that cannot
handle one of these data bytes must ignore it
by not acknowledging it. The I2C specification lists
the possible meanings of the special bytes that follow
the first GC address byte, and the actions to
be taken by the Slave device(s) upon receiving
them. A common use of the GC by a Master is to
dynamically assign device addresses to Slave devices
on the bus capable of a programmable device
address.
The uPSD33xx can generate a GC as a MasterTransmitter,
and it can receive a GC as a Slave.
When receiving a GC address (00h), an interrupt
will be generated so firmware may respond to the
special GC data bytes if desired.99/231

Serial I/O Engine (SIOE)
At the heart of the I2C interface is the hardware
SIOE, shown in Figure 40. The SIOE automatically
handles low-level I2C bus protocol (data shifting,
handshaking, arbitration, clock generation and
synchronization) and it is controlled and monitored
by five SFRs.
The five SFRs shown in Figure 40 are:
■ S1CON - Interface Control (Table
50., page 100)
■ S1STA - Interface Status (Table
52., page 103)
■ S1DAT - Data Shift Register (Table

■ S1ADR - Device Address (Table

2C Interface Status Register (S1STA)
The S1STA register provides status regarding immediate
activity and the current state of operation
on the I2C bus. All bits in this register are read-only
except bit 5, INTR, which is the interrupt flag.
Interrupt Conditions. If the I2C interrupt is enabled
(EI2C = 1 in SFR named IEA, and EA =1 in
SFR named IE), and the SIOE is initialized, then
an interrupt is automatically generated when any
one of the following five events occur:
– When the SIOE receives an address that
matches the contents of the SFR, S1ADR.
Requirements: SIOE is in Slave Mode, and bit
AA = 1 in the SFR S1CON.
– When the SIOE receives General Call
address. Requirments: SIOE is in Slave Mode,
bit AA = 1 in the SFR S1CON
– When a complete data byte has been received
or transmitted by the SIOE while in Master
mode. The interrupt will occur even if the
Master looses arbitration.
– When a complete data byte has been received
or transmitted by the SIOE while in selected
Slave mode.
– A STOP condition on the bus has been
recognized by the SIOE while in selected
Slave mode.
Selected Slave mode means the device address
sent by the Master device at the beginning of the
current data transfer matched the address stored
in the S1ADR register.
If the I2C interrupt is not enabled, the MCU may
poll the INTR flag in S1STA.103/231

mode. TX_MODE = 0 when SIOE is in any receiver mode.
3 BBUSY R
Bus Busy flag
BBUSY = 1 when the I2C bus is in use. BBUSY is set by the SIOE when
a START condition exists on the bus and BBUSY is cleared by a STOP
condition.
2 BLOST R
Bus Lost flag
BLOST is set when the SIOE is in Master mode and it looses the
arbitration process to another Master device on the bus.
1 ACK_RESP R
Not Acknowledge Response flag
While SIOE is in Transmitter mode:
– After SIOE sends a byte, ACK_RESP = 1 whenever the external I2C
device receives the byte, but that device does NOT assert an
ackowledge signal (external device asserted a high on SDA during
the acknowledge bit-time).
– After SIOE sends a byte, ACK_RESP = 0 whenever the external I2C
device receives the byte, and that device DOES assert an
ackowledge signal (external device drove a low on SDA during the
acknowledge bit-time)
Note: If SIOE is in Master-Transmitter mode, and ACK_RESP = 1 due to
a Slave-Transmitter not sending an Acknowledge, a STOP condition will
not automatically be generated by the SIOE. The STOP condition must
be generated with S1CON.STO = 1.
0 SLV R

SLV = 1 when the SIOE is in Slave mode. SLV = 0 when the SIOE is in
Master mode (default).uPSD33xx

I
2C Data Shift Register (S1DAT)
The S1ADR register (Table 53) holds a byte of serial
data to be transmitted or it holds a serial byte
that has just been received. The MCU may access
S1DAT while the SIOE is not in the process of
shifting a byte (the INTR flag indicates shifting is
complete).
While transmitting, bytes are shifted out MSB first,
and when receiving, bytes are shifted in MSB first,
through the Acknowledge Bit register as shown in
Figure 40., page 99.
Bus Wait Condition. After the SIOE finishes receiving
a byte in Receive mode, or transmitting a
byte in Transmit mode, the INTR flag (in S1STA)
is set and automatically a wait condition is imposed
on the I2C bus (SCL held low by SIOE). In
Transmit mode, this wait condition is released as
soon as the MCU writes any byte to S1DAT. In Receive
mode, the wait condition is released as soon
as the MCU reads the S1DAT register.
This method allows the user to handle transmit
and receive operations within an interrupt service
routine. The SIOE will automatically stall the I2C
bus at the appropriate time, giving the MCU time
to get the next byte ready to transmit or time to
read the byte that was just received.

I
2C Address Register (S1ADR)
The S1ADR register (Table 54) holds the 7-bit device
address used when the SIOE is operating as
a Slave. When the SIOE receives an address from
a Master, it will compare this address to the contents
of S1ADR, as shown in Figure 40., page 99.
If the 7 bits match, the INTR Interrupt flag (in
S1STA) is set, and the ADDR Bit (in S1CON) is
set. The SIOE cannot modify the contents S1ADR,
and S1ADR is not used during Master mode.

2C START Sample Setting (S1SETUP)
The S1SETUP register (Table 55) determines how
many times an I2C bus START condition will be
sampled before the SIOE validates the START
condition, giving the SIOE the ability to reject noise
or illegal transmissions.
Because the minimum duration of an START condition
varies with I2C bus speed (fSCL), and also
because the uPSD33xx may be operated with a
wide variety of frequencies (fOSC), it is necessary
to scale the number of samples per START condition
based on fOSC and fSCL.
In Slave mode, the SIOE recognizes the beginning
of a START condition when it detects a '1'-to-'0'
transition on the SDA bus line while the SCL line is
high (see Figure 39., page 97). The SIOE must
then validate the START condition by sampling the
bus lines to ensure SDA remains low and SCL remains
high for a minimum amount of hold time,
tHLDSTA. Once validated, the SIOE begins receiving
the address byte that follows the START condition.
If the EN_SS Bit (in the S1SETUP Register) is not
set, then the SIOE will sample only once after detecting
the '1'-to-'0' transition on SDA. This single
sample is taken 1/fOSC seconds after the initial 1-
to-0 transition was detected. However, more samples
should be taken to ensure there is a valid
START condition.
To take more samples, the SIOE should be initialized
such that the EN_SS Bit is set, and a value is
written to the SMPL_SET[6:0] field of the
S1SETUP Register to specify how many samples
to take. The goal is to take a good number of samples
during the minimum START condition hold
time, tHLDSTA, but no so many samples that the
bus will be sampled after tHLDSTA expires.
Table 56., page 106 describes the relationship between
the contents of S1SETUP and the resulting
number of I2C bus samples that SIOE will take after
detecting the 1-to-0 transition on SDA of a
START condition.
Important: Keep in mind that the time between
samples is always 1/fOSC.
The minimum START condition hold time, tHLDSTA,
is different for the three common I2C speed
categories per Table 57., page 106.
Table 55. S1SETUP: I2C START Condition Sample Setup register (SFR DBh, reset value 00h)

above, the firmware sets global variables,
I2C_master and I2C_xmitter, before enabling interrupts.
These flags tell the ISR which one of the
four cases to process. Following is pseudo-code
for high-level steps in the I2C ISR:

SPI (SYNCHRONOUS PERIPHERAL INTERFACE)
uPSD33xx devices support one serial SPI interface
in Master Mode only. This is a three- or fourwire
synchronous communication channel, capable
of full-duplex operation on 8-bit serial data
transfers. The four SPI bus signals are:
■ SPIRxD
Pin P1.5 or P4.5 receives data from the Slave
SPI device to the uPSD33xx
■ SPITxD
Pin P1.6 or P4.6 transmits data from the
uPSD33xx to the Slave SPI device
■ SPICLK
Pin P1.4 or P4.4 clock is generated from the
uPSD33xx to the SPI Slave device
■ SPISEL
Pin P1.7 or P4.7 selects the signal from the
uPSD33xx to an individual Slave SPI device
This SPI interface supports single-Master/multiple-Slave
connections. Multiple-Master connections
are not directly supported by the uPSD33xx
(no internal logic for collision detection).
If more than one Slave device is required, the
SPISEL signal may be generated from uPSD33xx
GPIO outputs (one for each Slave) or from the
PLD outputs of the PSD Module. Figure 41. illustrates
three examples of SPI device connections
using the uPSD33xx:
■ Single-Master/Single-Slave with SPISEL
■ Single-Master/Single-Slave without SPISEL
■ Single-Master/Multiple-Slave without SPISEL

SPI Bus Features and Communication Flow
The SPICLK signal is a gated clock generated
from the uPSD33xx (Master) and regulates the
flow of data bits. The Master may transmit at a variety
of baud rates, and the SPICLK signal will
clock one period for each bit of transmitted data.
Data is shifted on one edge of SPICLK and sampled
on the opposite edge.
The SPITxD signal is generated by the Master and
received by the Slave device. The SPIRxD signal
is generated by the Slave device and received by
the Master. There may be no more than one Slave
device transmitting data on SPIRxD at any given
time in a multi-Slave configuration. Slave selection
is accomplished when a Slave’s “Slave Select”
(SS) input is permanently grounded or asserted
active-low by a Master device. Slave devices that
are not selected do not interfere with SPI activities.
Slave devices ignore SPICLK and keep their
MISO output pins in high-impedance state when
not selected.
The SPI specification allows a selection of clock
polarity and clock phase with respect to data. The
uPSD33xx supports the choice of clock polarity,
but it does not support the choice of clock phase
(phase is fixed at what is typically known as
CPHA = 1). See Figure 43. and Figure
44., page 114 for SPI data and clock relationships.
Referring to these figures (43 and 44), when the
phase mode is defined as such (fixed at
CPHA =1), in a new SPI data frame, the Master
device begins driving the first data bit on SPITxD
at the very first edge of the first clock period of SPICLK.
The Slave device will use this first clock edge as a
transmission start indicator, and therefore the
Slave’s Slave Select input signal may remain
grounded in a single-Master/single-Slave configuration
(which means the user does not have to use
the SPISEL signal from uPSD33xx in this case).
The SPI specification does not specify high-level
protocol for data exchange, only low-level bit-serial
transfers are defined.
Full-Duplex Operation
When an SPI transfer occurs, 8 bits of data are
shifted out on one pin while a different 8 bits of
data are simultaneously shifted in on a second pin.
Another way to view this transfer is that an 8-bit
shift register in the Master and another 8-bit shift
register in the Slave are connected as a circular
16-bit shift register. When a transfer occurs, this
distributed shift register is shifted 8 bit positions;
thus, the data in the Master and Slave devices are
effectively exchanged (see Figure 42.).
Bus-Level Activity
Figure 43. details an SPI receive operation (with
respect to bus Master) and Figure 44. details an
SPI transmit operation. Also shown are internal
flags available to firmware to manage data flow.
These flags are accessed through a number of
SFRs.
Note: The uPSD33xx SPI interface SFRs allow
the choice of transmitting the most significant bit
(MSB) of a byte first, or the least significant bit
(LSB) first. The same bit-order applies to data reception.
Figures 43 and 44 illustrate shifting the
LSB first.

SPI SFR Registers
Six SFR registers control the SPI interface:
■ SPICON0 (Table 59., page 117) for interface
control
■ SPICON1 (Table 60., page 118) for interrupt
control
■ SPITDR (SFR D4h, Write only) holds byte to
transmit
■ SPIRDR (SFR D5h, Read only) holds byte
received
■ SPICLKD (Table 61., page 118) for clock
divider
■ SPISTAT (Table 62., page 119) holds
interface status
The SPI interface functional block diagram (Figure
45.) shows these six SFRs. Both the transmit and
receive data paths are double-buffered, meaning
that continuous transmitting or receiving (back-toback
transfer) is possible by reading from SPIRDR
or writing data to SPITDR while shifting is taking
place. There are a number of flags in the SPISTAT
register that indicate when it is full or empty to assist
the 8032 MCU in data flow management.
When enabled, these status flags will cause an interrupt
to the MCU.

SPI Configuration
The SPI interface is reset by the MCU reset, and
firmware needs to initialize the SFRs SPICON0,
SPICON1, and SPICLKD to define several operation
parameters.
The SPO Bit in SPICON0 determines the clock polarity.
When SPO is set to '0,' a data bit is transmitted
on SPITxD from one rising edge of SPICLK to
the next and is guaranteed to be valid during the
falling edge of SPICLK. When SPO is set to '1,' a
data bit is transmitted on SPITxD from one falling
edge of SPICLK to the next and is guaranteed to
be valid during the rising edge of SPICLK. The
uPSD33xx will sample received data on the appropriate
edge of SPICLK as determined by SPO.
The effect of the SPO Bit can be seen in Figure 43.
and Figure 44., page 114.
The FLSB Bit in SPICON0 determines the bit order
while transmitting and receiving the 8-bit data.
When FLSB is '0,' the 8-bit data is transferred in order
from MSB (first) to LSB (last). When FLSB Bit
is set to '1,' the data is transferred in order from
LSB (first) to MSB (last).
The clock signal generated on SPICLK is derived
from the internal PERIPH_CLK signal.
PERIPH_CLK always operates at the frequency,
fOSC, and runs constantly except when stopped in
MCU Power Down mode. SPICLK is a result of dividing
PERIPH_CLK by a sum of different divisors
selected by the value contained in the SPICLKD
register. The default value in SPICLKD after a reset
divides PERIPH_CLK by a factor of 4. The bits
in SPICLKD can be set to provide resulting divisor
values in of sums of multiples of 4, such as 4, 8,
12, 16, 20, all the way up to 252. For example, if
SPICLKD contains 0x24, SPICLK has the frequency
of PERIH_CLK divided by 36 decimal.
The SPICLK frequency must be set low enough to
allow the MCU time to read received data bytes
without loosing data. This is dependent upon
many things, including the crystal frequency of the
MCU and the efficiency of the SPI firmware.
Dynamic Control
At runtime, bits in registers SPICON0, SPICON1,
and SPISTAT are managed by firmware for dynamic
control over the SPI interface. The bits
Transmitter Enable (TE) and Receiver Enable
(RE) when set will allow transmitting and receiving
respectively. If TE is disabled, both transmitting
and receiving are disabled because SPICLK is
driven to constant output logic ‘0’ (when SPO = 0)
or logic '1' (when SPO = 1).
When the SSEL Bit is set, the SPISEL pin will drive
to logic '0' (active) to select a connected slave device
at the appropriate time before the first data bit
of a byte is transmitted, and SPISEL will automatically
return to logic '1' (inactive) after transmitting
the eight bit of data, as shown in Figure
44., page 114. SPISEL will continue to automatically
toggle this way for each byte data transmission
while the SSEL bit is set by firmware. When
the SSEL Bit is cleared, the SPISEL pin will drive
to constant logic '1' and stay that way (after a
transmission in progress completes).
The Interrupt Enable Bits (TEIE, RORIE,TIE, and
RIE) when set, will allow an SPI interrupt to be
generated to the MCU upon the occurrence of the
condition enabled by these bits. Firmware must
read the four corresponding flags in the SPISTAT
register to determine the specific cause of interrupt.
These flags are automatically cleared when
firmware reads the SPISTAT register.117/231

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTOR (ADC)
The ADC unit in the uPSD33xx is a SAR type ADC
with an SAR register, an auto-zero comparator
and three internal DACs. The unit has 8 input
channels with 10-bit resolution. The A/D converter
has its own VREF input (80-pin package only),
which specifies the voltage reference for the A/D
operations. The analog to digital converter (A/D)
allows conversion of an analog input to a corresponding
10-bit digital value. The A/D module has
eight analog inputs (P1.0 through P1.7) to an 8x1
multiplexor. One ADC channel is selected by the
bits in the configuration register. The converter
generates a 10-bits result via successive approximation.
The analog supply voltage is connected to
the VREF input, which powers the resistance ladder
in the A/D module.
The A/D module has 3 registers, the control register
ACON, the A/D result register ADAT0, and the
second A/D result register ADAT1. The ADAT0
Register stores Bits 0.. 7 of the converter output,
Bits 8.. 9 are stored in Bits 0..1 of the ADAT1 Register.
The ACON Register controls the operation of
the A/D converter module. Three of the bits in the
ACON Register select the analog channel inputs,
and the remaining bits control the converter operation.
ADC channel pin input is enabled by setting the
corresponding bit in the P1SFS0 and P1SFS1
Registers to '1' and the channel select bits in the
ACON Register.
The ADC reference clock (ADCCLK) is generated
from fOSC divided by the divider in the ADCPS
Register. The ADC operates within a range of 2 to
16MHz, with typical ADCCLK frequency at 8MHz.
The conversion time is 4µs typical at 8MHz.
The processing of conversion starts when the
Start Bit ADST is set to '1.' After one cycle, it is
cleared by hardware. The ADC is monotonic with
no missing codes. Measurement is by continuous
conversion of the analog input. The ADAT Register
contains the results of the A/D conversion.
When conversion is complete, the result is loaded
into the ADAT. The A/D Conversion Status Bit
ADSF is set to '1.' The block diagram of the A/D
module is shown in Figure 46. The A/D status bit
ADSF is set automatically when A/D conversion is
completed and cleared when A/D conversion is in
process.
In addition, the ADC unit sets the interrupt flag in
the ACON Register after a conversion is complete
(if AINTEN is set to '1'). The ADC interrupts the
CPU when the enable bit AINTEN is set.
Port 1 ADC Channel Selects
The P1SFS0 and P1SFS1 Registers control the
selection of the Port 1 pin functions. When the
P1SFS0 Bit is '0,' the pin functions as a GPIO.
When bits are set to '1,' the pins are configured as
alternate functions. A new P1SFS1 Register selects
which of the alternate functions is enabled.
The ADC channel is enabled when the bit in
P1SFS1 is set to '1.'
Note: In the 52-pin package, there is no individual
VREF pin because VREF is combined with AVCC
pin.

PROGRAMMABLE COUNTER ARRAY (PCA) WITH PWM
There are two Programmable Counter Array
blocks (PCA0 and PCA1) in the uPSD33xx. A PCA
block consists of a 16-bit up-counter, which is
shared by three TCM (Timer Counter Module). A
TCM can be programmed to perform one of the
following four functions:
1. Capture Mode: capture counter values by
external input signals
2. Timer Mode
3. Toggle Output Mode
4. PWM Mode: fixed frequency (8-bit or 16-bit),
programmable frequency (8-bit only)
PCA Block
The 16-bit Up-Counter in the PCA block is a freerunning
counter (except in PWM Mode with programmable
frequency). The Counter has a choice
of clock input: from an external pin, Timer 0 Overflow,
or PCA Clock.
A PCA block has 3 Timer Counter Modules (TCM)
which share the 16-bit Counter output. The TCM
can be configured to capture or compare counter
value, generate a toggling output, or PWM functions.
Except for the PWM function, the other TCM
functions can generate an interrupt when an event
occurs.
Every TCM is connected to a port pin in Port 4; the
TCM pin can be configured as an event input, a
PWMs, a Toggle Output, or as External Clock Input.
The pins are general I/O pins when not assigned
to the TCM.
The TCM operation is configured by Control registers
and Capture/Compare registers. Table
67., page 124 lists the SFR registers in the PCA
blocks.

PCA Clock Selection
The clock input to the 16-bit up counter in the PCA
block is user-programmable. The three clock
sources are:
– PCA Prescaler Clock (PCA0CLK, PCA1CLK)
– Timer 0 Overflow
– External Clock, Pin P4.3 or P4.7
The clock source is selected in the configuration
register PCACON. The Prescaler output clock
PCACLK is the fOSC divided by the divisor which is
specified in the CCON2 or CCON3 Register.
When External Clock is selected, the maximum
clock frequency should not exceed fOSC/4.

Operation of TCM Modes
Each of the TCM in a PCA block supports four
modes of operation. However, an exception is
when the TCM is configured in PWM Mode with
programmable frequency. In this mode, all TCM in
a PCA block must be configured in the same mode
or left to be not used.
Capture Mode
The CAPCOM registers in the TCM are loaded
with the counter values when an external pin input
changes state. The user can configure the counter
value to be loaded by positive edge, negative edge
or any transition of the input signal. At loading, the
TCM can generate an interrupt if it is enabled.
Timer Mode
The TCM modules can be configured as software
timers by enable the comparator. The user writes
a value to the CAPCOM registers, which is then
compared with the 16-bit counter. If there is a
match, an interrupt can be generated to CPU.
Toggle Mode
In this mode, the user writes a value to the TCM's
CAPCOM registers and enables the comparator.
When there is a match with the Counter output, the
output of the TCM pin toggles. This mode is a simple
extension of the Timer Mode.
PWM Mode - (X8), Fixed Frequency
In this mode, one or all the TCM's can be configured
to have a fixed frequency PWM output on the
port pins. The PWM frequency depends on when
the low byte of the Counter overflows (modulo
256). The duty cycle of each TCM module can be
specified in the CAPCOMHn Register. When the
PCA_Counter_L value is equal to or greater than
the value in CAPCOMHn, the PWM output is
switched to a high state. When the
PCA_Counter_L Register overflows, the content
in CAPCOMHn is loaded to CAPCOMLn and a
new PWM pulse starts.

PWM Mode - (X8), Programmable Frequency
In this mode, the PWM frequency is not determined
by the overflow of the low byte of the
Counter. Instead, the frequency is determined by
the PWMFm Register. The user can load a value
in the PWMFm Register, which is then compared
to the low byte of the Counter. If there is a match,
the Counter is cleared and the Load registers
(PWMFm, CAPCOMHn) are re-loaded for the next
PWM pulse. There is only one PWMFm Register
which serves all 3 TCM in a PCA block.
If one of the TCM modules is operating in this
mode, the other modules in the PCA must be configured
to the same mode or left not to be used.
The duty cycle of the PWM can be specified in the
CAPCOMHn Register as in the PWM with fixed
frequency mode. Different TCM modules can have
their own duty cycle.
Note: The value in the Frequency Register (PWMFm)
must be larger than the duty cycle register
(CAPCOM).

PWM Mode - Fixed Frequency, 16-bit
The operation of the 16-bit PWM is the same as
the 8-bit PWM with fixed frequency. In this mode,
one or all the TCM can be configured to have a
fixed frequency PWM output on the port pins. The
PWM frequency is depending on the clock input
frequency to the 16-bit Counter. The duty cycle of
each TCM module can be specified in the CAPCOMHn
and CAPCOMLn Registers. When the 16-
bit PCA_Counter is equal or greater than the values
in registers CAPCOMHn and CAPCOMLn, the
PWM output is switched to a high state. When the
PCA_Counter overflows, CEXn is asserted low.
PWM Mode - Fixed Frequency, 10-bit
The 10-bit PWM logic requires that all 3 TCMs in
PCA0 or PCA1 operate in the same 10-bit PWM
mode. The 10-bit PWM operates in a similar manner
as the 16-bit PWM, except the PCACHm and
PCACLm counters are reconfigured as 10-bit
counters. The CAPCOMHn and CAPCOMLn Registers
become 10-bit registers.
PWM duty cycle of each TCM module can be
specified in the 10-bit CAPCOMHn and CAPCOMLn
Registers. When the 10-bit PCA counter
is equal or greater than the values in the 10-bit
registers CAPCOMHn and CAPCOMLn, the PWM
output switches to a high state. When the 10-bit
PCA counter overflows, the PWM pin is switched
to a logic low and starts the next PWM pulse.
The most-significant 6 bits in the PCACHm
counter and CAPCOMH Register are “Don’t cares”
and have no effect on the PWM generation.
Writing to Capture/Compare Registers
When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA Capture/
Compare registers, the low byte should always be
written first. Writing to CAPCOMLn clears the
E_COMP Bit to '0'; writing to CAPCOMHn sets
E_COMP to '1' the largest duty cycle is 100%
(CAPCOMHn CAPCOMLn = 0x0000), and the
smallest duty cycle is 0.0015% (CAPCOMHn
CAPCOMLn = 0xFFFF). A 0% duty cycle may be
generated by clearing the E_COMP Bit to ‘0’.
Control Register Bit Definition
Each PCA has its own PCA_CONFIGn, and each
module within the PCA block has its own
TCM_Mode Register which defines the operation
of that module (see Table 70., page 129 through
Table 71., page 130). There is one PCA_STATUS
Register that covers both PCA0 and PCA1 (see
Table 72., page 131).

TCM Interrupts
There are 8 TCM interrupts: 6 match or capture interrupts
and two counter overflow interrupts. The 8
interrupts are “ORed” as one PCA interrupt to the
CPU.
By the nature of PCA application, it is unlikely that
many of the interrupts occur simultaneously. If
they do, the CPU has to read the interrupt flags
and determine which one to serve. The software
has to clear the interrupt flag in the Status Register
after serving the interrupt.

PSD Module Functional Description
Major functional blocks are shown in Figure
51., page 133. The next sections describe each
major block.
8032 Address/Data/Control Interface. These
signals attach directly to the MCU Module to implement
a typical multiplexed 8051-style bus between
the two stacked die. The MCU instruction
prefetch and branch cache logic resides on the
MCU Module, leaving a standard 8051-style memory
interface on the PSD Module.
The active-low reset signal originating from the
MCU Module goes to the PSD Module reset input
(RST). This reset signal can then be routed as an
external output from the uPSD33xx to the system
PC board, if needed, through any one of the PLD
output pins as active-high or active-low logic by
specifying logic equations in PSDsoft Express.
The 8032 address and data busses are routed
throughout the PSD Module as shown in Figure 51
connecting many elements on the PSD Module to
the 8032 MCU. The 8032 bus is not only connected
to the memories, but also to the General PLD,
making it possible for the 8032 to directly read and
write individual logic macrocells inside the General
PLD.
Dual Flash Memories and IAP. uPSD33xx devices
contain two independent Flash memory arrays.
This means that the 8032 can read
instructions from one Flash memory array while
erasing or writing the other Flash memory array.
Concurrent operation like this enables robust remote
updates of firmware, also known as In-Application
Programming (IAP). IAP can occur using
any uPSD33xx interface (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI).
Concurrent memory operation also enables the
designer to emulate EEPROM memory within either
of the two Flash memory arrays for small data
sets that have frequent updates.
The 8032 can erase Flash memories by individual
sectors or it can erase an entire Flash memory array
at one time. Each sector in either Flash memory
may be individually write protected, blocking
any WRITEs from the 8032 (good for boot and
start-up code protection). The Flash memories automatically
go to standby between 8032 READ or
WRITE accesses to conserve power. Minimum
erase cycles is 100K and minimum data retention
is 15 years. Flash memory, as well as the entire
PSD Module may be programmed with the JTAG
In-System Programming (ISP) interface with no
8032 involvement, good for manufacturing and lab
development.
Main Flash Memory. The Main Flash memory is
divided into equal sized sectors that are individually
selectable by the Decode PLD output signals,
named FSx, one signal for each Main Flash memory
sector. Each Flash sector can be located at
any address within 8032 program address space
(accessed with PSEN) or data address space,
also known as 8032 XDATA space (accessed with
RD or WR), as defined with the software development
tool, PSDsoft Express. The user only has to
specify an address range for each segment and
specify if Main Flash memory will reside in 8032
data or program address space, and then PSEN,
RD, or WR are automatically activated for the
specified range. 8032 firmware is easily programmed
into Main Flash memory using PSDsoft
Express or other software tools. See Table
75., page 135 for Main Flash sector sizes on the
various uPSD33xx devices.
Secondary Flash Memory. The smaller Secondary
Flash memory is also divided into equal sized
sectors that are individually selectable by the Decode
PLD signals, named CSBOOTx, one signal
for each Secondary Flash memory sector. Each
sector can be located at any address within 8032
program address space (accessed with PSEN) or
XDATA space (accessed with RD or WR) as defined
with PSDsoft Express. The user only has to
specify an address range for each segment, and
specify if Secondary Flash memory will reside in
8032 data or program address space, and then
PSEN, RD, or WR are automatically activated for
the specified range. 8032 firmware is easily programmed
into Secondary Flash memory using PSDsoft
Express and others. See Table
75., page 135 for Secondary Flash sector sizes.
SRAM. The SRAM is selected by a single signal,
named RS0, from the Decode PLD. SRAM may be
located at any address within 8032 XDATA space
(accessed with RD or WR), or optionally within
8032 program address space (accessed with
PSEN) to execute code from SRAM. The default
setting places SRAM in XDATA space only. These
choices are specified using PSDSoft Express,
where the user specifies an SRAM address range.
The user would also specify (at run-time) if SRAM
will additionally reside in 8032 program address
space, and then PSEN, RD, or WR are automatically
activated for the specified range. See Table
75., page 135 for SRAM sizes.
The SRAM may optionally be backed up by an external
battery (or other DC source) to make its contents
non-volatile (see SRAM Standby Mode
(battery backup), page 193).135/231
uPSD33xx
Table 75. uPSD33xx Memory Configuration
Runtime Control Registers, CSIOP. A block of
256 bytes is decoded inside the PSD Module for
module control and status (see Table
79., page 145). The base address of these 256 locations
is referred to in this data sheet as csiop
(Chip Select I/O Port), and is selected by the Decode
PLD output signal, CSIOP. The csiop registers
are always viewed by the 8032 as XDATA,
and are accessed with RD and WR signals. The
address range of CSIOP is specified using PSDsoft
Express where the user only has to specify an
address range of 256 bytes, and then the RD or
WR signals are automatically activated for the
specified range. Individual registers within this
block are accessed with an offset from the specified
csiop base address. 39 registers are used out
of the 256 locations to control the output state of I/
O pins, to read I/O pins, to set the memory page,
to control 8032 program and data address space,
to control power management, to READ/WRITE
macrocells inside the General PLD, and other
functions during runtime. Unused locations within
csiop are reserved and should not be accessed.
Memory Page Register. 8032 MCU architecture
has an inherent size limit of 64K bytes in either
program address space or XDATA space. Some
uPSD33xx devices have much more memory that
64K, so special logic such as this page register is
needed to access the extra memory. This 8-bit
page register (Figure 52) can be loaded and read
by the 8032 at runtime as one of the csiop registers.
Page register outputs feed directly into both
PLDs creating extended address signals used to
“page” memory beyond the 64K byte limit (program
space or XDATA). Most 8051 compilers directly
support memory paging, also known as
memory banking. If memory paging is not needed,
or if not all eight page register bits are needed for
memory paging, the remaining bits may be used in
the General PLD for general logic. Page Register
outputs are cleared to logic ’0’ at reset and powerup.
Programmable Logic (PLDs) . The uPSD33xx
contains two PLDs (Figure 63., page 157) that
may optionally run in Turbo or Non-Turbo mode.
PLDs operate faster (less propagation delay)
while in Turbo mode but consume more power
than in Non-Turbo mode. Non-Turbo mode allows
the PLDs to go to standby automatically when no
PLD inputs are changing to conserve power.
The logic configuration (from equations) of both
PLDs is stored with non-volatile Flash technology
and the logic is active upon power-up. PLDs may
NOT be programmed by the 8032, PLD programming
only occurs through the JTAG interface.

PLD #1, Decode PLD (DPLD). This programmable
logic implements memory mapping and is used
to select one of the individual Main Flash memory
segments, one of individual Secondary Flash
memory segments, the SRAM, or the group of
csiop registers when the 8032 presents an address
to DPLD inputs (see Figure 64., page 159).
The DPLD can also optionally drive external chip
select signals on Port D pins. The DPLD also optionally
produces two select signals (PSEL0 and
PSEL1) used to enable a special data bus repeater
function on Port A, referred to as Peripheral I/O
Mode. There are 69 DPLD input signals which include:
8032 address and control signals, Page
Register outputs, PSD Module Port pin inputs, and
GPLD logic feedback.
PLD #2, General PLD (GPLD). This programmable
logic is used to create both combinatorial
and sequential general purpose logic (see Figure
65., page 161). The GPLD contains 16 Output
Macrocells (OMCs) and 20 Input Macrocells
(IMCs). Output Macrocell registers are unique in
that they have direct connection to the 8032 data
bus allowing them to be loaded and read directly
by the 8032 at runtime through OMC registers in
csiop. This direct access is good for making small
peripheral devices (shifters, counters, state machines,
etc.) that are accessed directly by the 8032
with little overhead. There are 69 GPLD inputs
which include: 8032 address and control signals,
Page Register outputs, PSD Module Port pin inputs,
and GPLD feedback.
OMCs. There are two banks of eight OMCs inside
the GPLD, MCELLAB, and MCELLBC, totalling 16
OMCs all together. Each individual OMC is a base
logic element consisting of a flip-flop and some
AND-OR logic (Figure 66., page 162). The general
structure of the GPLD with OMCs is similar in
nature to a 22V10 PLD device with the familiar
sum-of-products (AND-OR) construct. True and
compliment versions of 69 input signals are available
to the inputs of a large AND-OR array. ANDOR
array outputs feed into an OR gate within each
OMC, creating up to 10 product-terms for each
OMC. Logic output of the OR gate can be passed
on as combinatorial logic or combined with a flipflop
within in each OMC to realize sequential logic.
OMC outputs can be used as a buried nodes driving
internal feedback to the AND-OR array, or
OMC outputs can be routed to external pins on
Ports A, B, or C through the OMC Allocator.
OMC Allocator. The OMC allocator (Figure
67., page 163) will route eight of the OMCs from
MCELLAB to pins on either Port A or Port B, and
will route eight of the OMCs from MCELLBC to
pins on either Port B or Port C, based on what is
specified in PSDsoft Express.
IMCs. Inputs from pins on Ports A, B, and C are
routed to IMCs for conditioning (clocking or latching)
as they enter the chip, which is good for sampling
and debouncing inputs. Alternatively, IMCs
can pass port input signals directly to PLD inputs
without clocking or latching (Figure
68., page 167). The 8032 may read the IMCs
asynchronously at any time through IMC registers
in csiop.
Note: The JTAG signals TDO, TDI, TCK, and TMS
on Port C do not route through IMCs, but go directly
to JTAG logic.
I/O Ports. For 80-pin uPSD33xx devices, the
PSD Module has 22 individually configurable I/O
pins distributed over four ports (these I/O are in
addition to I/O on MCU Module). For 52-pin
uPSD33xx devices, the PSD Module has 13 individually
configurable I/O pins distributed over
three ports. See Figure 74., page 181 for I/O port
pin availability on these two packages.
I/O port pins on the PSD Module (Ports A, B, C,
and D) are completely separate from the port pins
on the MCU Module (Ports 1, 3, and 4). They even
have different electrical characteristics. I/O port
pins on the PSD Module are accessed by csiop
registers, or they are controlled by PLD equations.
Conversely, I/O Port pins on the MCU Module are
controlled by the 8032 SFR registers.
Table 76. General I/O pins on PSD Module
Note: Four pins on Port C are dedicated to JTAG, leaving four pins
for general I/O.

uPSD33xx
Each I/O pin on the PSD Module can be individually
configured for different functions on a pin-bypin
basis (Figure 69., page 169). Following are the
available functions on PSD Module I/O pins.
– MCU I/O: 8032 controls the output state of
each port pin or it reads input state of each
port pin, by accessing csiop registers at runtime.
The direction (in or out) of each pin is
also controlled by csiop registers at run-time.
– PLD I/O: PSDsoft Express logic equations
and pin configuration selections determine if
pins are connected to OMC outputs or IMC
inputs. This is a static and non-volatile
configuration. Port pins connected to PLD
outputs can no longer be driven by the 8032
using MCU I/O output mode.
– Latched MCU Address Output: Port A or
Port B can output de-multiplexed 8032
address signals A0 - A7 on a pin-by-pin basis
as specified in csiop registers at run-time. In
addition, Port B can also be configured to
output de-multiplexed A8-A15 in PSDsoft
Express.
– Data Bus Repeater: Port A can bidirectionally
buffer the 8032 data bus (demultiplexed)
for a specified address range in
PSDsoft Express. This is referred to as
Peripheral I/O Mode in this document.
– Open Drain Outputs: Some port pins can
function as open-drain as specified in csiop
registers at run-time.
– Pins on Port D can be used for external chipselect
outputs originating from the DPLD,
without consuming OMC resources within the
GPLD.
JTAG Port. In-System Programming (ISP) can
be performed through the JTAG signals on Port C.
This serial interface allows programming of the entire
PSD Module device or subsections of the PSD
Module (for example, only Flash memory but not
the PLDs) without the participation of the 8032. A
blank uPSD33xx device soldered to a circuit board
can be completely programmed in 10 to 25 seconds.
The four basic JTAG signals on Port C;
TMS, TCK, TDI, and TDO form the IEEE-1149.1
interface. The PSD Module does not implement
the IEEE-1149.1 Boundary Scan functions, but
uses the JTAG interface for ISP an 8032 debug.
The PSD Module can reside in a standard JTAG
chain with other JTAG devices and it will remain in
BYPASS mode when other devices perform JTAG
functions.
ISP programming time can be reduced as much as
30% by using two optional JTAG signals on Port
C, TSTAT and TERR, in addition to TMS, TCK,
TDI and TDO, and this is referred to as “6-pin
JTAG”. The FlashLINK JTAG programming cable
is available from STMicroelectronics and PSDsoft
Express software is available at no charge from
www.st.com/psm. More JTAG ISP information
maybe found in the section titled “JTAG ISP and
Debug” on page 137.
The MCU module is also included in the JTAG
chain within the uPSD33xx device for 8032 debugging
and emulation. While debugging, the PSD
Module is in BYPASS mode. Conversely, during
ISP, the MCU Module is in BYPASS mode.
Power Management. The PSD Module has bits
in csiop registers that are configured at run-time by
the 8032 to reduce power consumption of the
GPLD. The Turbo Bit in the PMMR0 Register can
be set to logic ’1’ and both PLDs will go to NonTurbo
mode, meaning it will latch its outputs and
go to sleep until the next transition on its inputs.
There is a slight penalty in PLD performance
(longer propagation delay), but significant power
savings are realized. Going to Non-Turbo mode
may require an additional wait state in the 8032
SFR, BUSCON, because memory decode signals
are also delayed. The default state of the Turbo Bit
is logic '0,' meaning by default, the GPLD is in fast
Turbo mode until the Turbo mode is turned off.
Additionally, bits in csiop registers PMMR0 and
PMMR2 can be set by the 8032 to selectively
block signals from entering both PLDs which further
reduces power consumption. There is also an
Automatic Power Down counter that detects lack
of 8032 activity and reduces power consumption
on the PSD Module to its lowest level (see Power
Management, page 137).uPSD33xx
138/231
Security and NVM Sector Protection. A programmable
security bit in the PSD Module protects
its contents from unauthorized viewing and
copying. The security bit is specified in PSDsoft
Express and programmed into the uPSD33xx with
JTAG. Once set, the security bit will block access
of JTAG programming equipment to the PSD Module
Flash memory and PLD configuration, and also
blocks JTAG debugging access to the MCU Module.
The only way to defeat the security bit is to
erase the entire PSD Module using JTAG (the
erase command is the only JTAG command allowed
after the security bit has been set), after
which the device is blank and may be used again.
Additionally and independently, the contents of
each individual Flash memory sector can be write
protected (sector protection) by configuration with
PSDsoft Express. This is typically used to protect
8032 boot code from being corrupted by inadvertent
WRITEs to Flash memory from the 8032.
Status of sector protection bits may be read (but
not written) using two registers in csiop space.
Memory Mapping
There many different ways to place (or map) the
address range of PSD Module memory and I/O
depending on system requirements. The DPLD
provides complete mapping flexibility. Figure 53
shows one possible system memory map. In this
example, 128K bytes of Main Flash memory for a
uPSD3333 device is in 8032 program address
space, and 32K bytes of Secondary Flash memory,
the SRAM, and csiop registers are all in 8032
XDATA space.
In Figure 53, the nomenclature fs0..fs7 are designators
for the individual sectors of Main Flash
memory, 16K bytes each. CSBOOT0..CSBOOT3
are designators for the individual Secondary Flash
memory segments, 8K bytes each. rs0 is the designator
for SRAM, and csiop designates the PSD
Module control register set.
The designer may easily specify memory mapping
in a point-and-click software environment using
PSDsoft Express, creating a non-volatile configuration
when the DPLD is programmed using
JTAG.
8032 Program Address Space. In the example
of Figure 53, six sectors of Main Flash memory
(fs2.. fs7) are paged across three memory pages
in the upper half of program address space, and
the remaining two sectors of Main Flash memory
(fs0, fs1) reside in the lower half of program address
space, and these two sectors are independent
of paging (they reside in “common” program
address space). This paged memory example is
quite common and supported by many 8051 software
compilers.
8032 Data Address Space (XDATA). Four sectors
of Secondary Flash memory reside in the upper
half of 8032 XDATA space in the example of
Figure 53. SRAM and csiop registers are in the
lower half of XDATA space. The 8032 SFR registers
and local SRAM inside the 8032 MCU Module
do not reside in XDATA space, so it is OK to place
PSD Module SRAM or csiop registers at an address
that overlaps the address of internal 8032
MCU Module SRAM and registers.

EEPROM Emulation. EEPROM emulation is
needed if it is desired to repeatedly change only a
small number of bytes of data in Flash memory. In
this case EEPROM emulation is needed because
although Flash memory can be written byte-bybyte,
it must be erased sector-by-sector, it is not
erasable byte-by-byte (unlike EEPROM which is
written AND erased byte-by-byte). So changing
one or two bytes in Flash memory typically requires
erasing an entire sector each time only one
byte is changed within that sector.
However, two of the 8K byte sectors of Secondary
Flash memory may be used to emulate EEPROM
by using a linked-list software technique to create
a small data set that is maintained by alternating
between the two flash sectors. For example, a
data set of 128 bytes is written and maintained by
software in a distributed fashion across one 8K
byte sector of Secondary Flash memory until it becomes
full. Then the writing continues on the other
8K byte sector while erasing the first 8K byte sector.
This process repeats continuously, bouncing
back and forth between the two 8K byte sectors.
This creates a wear-leveling effect, which increases
the effective number of erase cycles for a data
set of 128 bytes to many times more than the base
100K erase cycles of the Flash memory. EEPROM
emulation in Flash memory is typically faster than
writing to actual EEPROM memory, and more reliable
because the last known value in a data set is
maintained even if a WRITE cycle is corrupted by
a power outage. The EEPROM emulation function
can be called by the firmware, making it appear
that the user is writing a single byte, or data
record, thus hiding all of the data management
that occurs within the two 8K byte flash sectors.
EEPROM emulation firmware for the uPSD33xx is
available from www.st.com/psm.
Alternative Mapping Schemes. Here are more
possible memory maps for the uPSD3333.
Note: Mapping examples would be slightly different
for uPSD3312, uPSD3334, and uPSD3354
because of the different sizes of individual Flash
memory sectors and SRAM as defined in Table
82., page 155.
– Figure 55. Place the larger Main Flash
Memory into program space, but split the
Secondary Flash in half, placing two of it’s
sectors into XDATA space and remaining two
sectors into program space. This method
allows the designer to put IAP code (or boot
code) into two sectors of Secondary Flash in
program space, and use the other two
Secondary Flash sectors for data storage,
such as EEPROM emulation in XDATA space.
– Figure 56. Place both the Main and
Secondary Flash memories into program
space for maximum code storage, with no
Flash memory in XDATA space.

– Figure 57. Place the larger Main Flash
Memory into XDATA space and the smaller
Secondary Flash into program space for
systems that need a large amount of Flash for
data recording or large look-up tables, and not
so much Flash for 8032 firmware.
Figure 57. Mapping: Small Code / Big Data
It is also possible to “reclassify” the Flash memories
during runtime, moving the memories between
XDATA memory space and program
memory space on-the-fly. This essentially means
that the user can override the initial setting during
run-time by writing to a csiop register (the VM Register).
This is useful for IAP, because standard
8051 architecture does not allow writing to program
space. For example, if the user wants to update
firmware in Main Flash memory that is
residing in program space, the user can temporarily
“reclassify” the Main Flash memory into XDATA
space to erase and rewrite it while executing IAP
code from the Secondary Flash memory in program
space. After the writing is complete, the Main
Flash can be “reclassified” back to program space,
then execution can continue from the new code in
Main Flash memory. The mapping example of Figure
57 will accommodate this operation.
Memory Sector Select Rules. When defining
sector select signals (FSx, CSBOOTx, RS0,
CSIOP, PSELx) in PSDsoft Express, keep these
rules in mind:
– Main Flash and Secondary Flash memory
sector select signals may not be larger than
their physical sector size as defined in Table
75., page 135.
– Any Main Flash memory sector select may not
be mapped in the same address range as
another Main Flash sector select (cannot
overlap segments of Main Flash on top of
each other).
– Any Secondary Flash memory sector select
may not be mapped in the same address
range as another Secondary Flash sector
select (cannot overlap segments of
Secondary Flash on top of each other).
– A Secondary Flash memory sector may
overlap a Main Flash memory sector. In the
case of overlap, priority is given to the
Secondary Flash memory sector.
– SRAM, CSIOP, or PSELx may overlap any
Flash memory sector. In the case of overlap,
priority is given to SRAM, CSIOP, or PSELx.
Note: PSELx is for optional Peripheral I/O
Mode on Port A.
– The address range for sector selects for
SRAM, PSELx, and CSIOP must not overlap
each other as they have the same priority,
causing contention if overlapped.

Figure 58 illustrates the priority scheme of the
memory elements of the PSD Module. Priority refers
to which memory will ultimately produce a
byte of data or code to the 8032 MCU for a given
bus cycle. Any memory on a higher level can overlap
and has priority over any memory on a lower
level. Memories on the same level must not overlap.
Example: FS0 is valid when the 8032 produces an
address in the range of 8000h to BFFFh.
CSBOOT0 is valid from 8000h to 9FFFh. RS0 is
valid from 8000h to 87FFh. Any address from the
8032 in the range of RS0 always accesses the
SRAM. Any address in the range of CSBOOT0
greater than 87FFh (and less than 9FFFh) automatically
addresses Secondary Flash memory.
Any address greater than 9FFFh accesses Main
Flash memory. One-half of the Main Flash memory
segment, and one-fourth of the Secondary
Flash memory segment cannot be accessed by
the 8032 in this example.
Figure 58. PSD Module Memory Priority
The VM Register. One of the csiop registers (the
VM Register) controls whether or not the 8032 bus
control signals RD, WR, and PSEN are routed to
the Main Flash memory, the Secondary Flash
memory, or the SRAM. Routing of these signals to
these PSM Module memories determines if memories
reside in 8032 program address space, 8032
XDATA space, or both. The initial setting of the VM
Register is determined by a choice in PSDsoft Express
and programmed into the uPSD33xx in a
non-volatile fashion using JTAG. This initial setting
is loaded into the VM Register upon power-up and
also loaded upon any reset event. However, the
8032 may override the initial VM Register setting
at run-time by writing to the VM Register, which is
useful for IAP.
Table 78., page 143 defines bit functions within
the VM Register.
Note: Bit 7, PIO_EN, is not related to the memory
manipulation functions of Bits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Also note that SRAM must at least always be in
8032 XDATA space (default condition). Bit 0 allows
the user to optionally place SRAM into 8032
program space in addition to XDATA space.
CSIOP registers are always in XDATA space and
cannot reside in program space.
Figure 59., page 144 illustrates how the VM Register
affects the routing of RD, WR, and PSEN to
the memories on the PSD Module. As an example,
if we apply the value 0Ch to the VM Register to implement
the memory map example shown in Figure
53., page 138, then the routing of RD, WR,
and PSEN would look like that shown in Figure
60., page 145.
In this example, the configuration is specified in
PSDsoft Express and programmed into the
uPSD33xx using JTAG. Upon power-on or any reset
condition, the non-volatile value 0Ch is loaded
into the VM Register. At runtime, the value 0Ch in
the VM Register may be changed (overridden) by
the 8032 if desired to implement IAP or other functions.

PSD Module Detailed Operation
Specific details are given here for the following key
functional areas on the PSD Module:
■ Flash Memories
■ PLDs (DPLD and GPLD)
■ I/O Ports
■ Power Management
■ JTAG ISP and Debug Interface
Flash Memory Operation. The Flash memories
are accessed through the 8032 Address, Data,
and Control Bus interfaces. Flash memories (and
SRAM) cannot be accessed by any other bus
master other than the 8032 MCU (these are not
dual-port memories).
The 8032 cannot write to Flash memory as it
would an SRAM (supply address, supply data,
supply WR strobe, assume the data was correctly
written to memory). Flash memory must first be
“unlocked” with a special instruction sequence of
byte WRITE operations to invoke an internal algorithm
inside either Flash memory array, then a single
data byte is written (programmed) to the Flash
memory array, then programming status is
checked by a byte READ operation or by checking
the Ready/Busy pin (PC3). Table 80., page 148
lists all of the special instruction sequences to program
a byte to either of the Flash memory arrays,
erase the arrays, and check for different types of
status from the arrays.
This unlocking sequence is typical for many Flash
memories to prevent accidental WRITEs by errant
code. However, it is possible to bypass this unlocking
sequence to save time while intentionally
programming Flash memory.
IMPORTANT: The 8032 may not read and execute
code from the same Flash memory array for
which it is directing an instruction sequence. Or
more simply stated, the 8032 may not read code
from the same Flash array that is writing or erasing.
Instead, the 8032 must execute code from an
alternate memory (like SRAM or a different Flash
array) while sending instruction sequences to a
given Flash array. Since the two Flash memory arrays
inside the PSD Module device are completely
independent, the 8032 may read code from one
array while sending instructions to the other. It is
possible, however, to suspend a sector erase operation
in one particular Flash array in order to access
a different sector within that same Flash
array, then resume the erase later.
After a Flash memory array is programmed or
erased it will go to “Read Array” mode, then the
8032 can read from Flash memory just as it would
read from any 8-bit ROM or SRAM device.
Flash Memory Instruction Sequences. An instruction
sequence consists of a sequence of specific
byte WRITE and byte READ operations. Each
byte written to either Flash memory array on the
PSD Module is received by a state machine inside
the Flash array and sequentially decoded to execute
an embedded algorithm. The algorithm is executed
when the correct number of bytes are
properly received and the time between two consecutive
bytes is shorter than the time-out period
of 80µs. Some instruction sequences are structured
to include READ operations after the initial
WRITE operations.
An instruction sequence must be followed exactly.
Any invalid combination of instruction bytes or
time-out between two consecutive bytes while addressing
Flash memory resets the PSD Module
Flash logic into Read Array mode (where Flash
memory is read like a ROM device). The Flash
memories support instruction sequences summarized
in Table 80., page 148.
■ Program a Byte
■ Unlock Sequence Bypass
■ Erase memory by array or by sector
■ Suspend or resume a sector erase
■ Reset to Read Array mode
The first two bytes of an instruction sequence are
8032 bus WRITE operations to “unlock” the Flash
array, followed by writing a command byte. The
bus operations consist of writing the data AAh to
address X555h during the first bus cycle and data
55h to address XAAAh during the second bus cycle.
8032 address signals A12-A15 are “Don’t
care” during the instruction sequence during
WRITE cycles. However, the appropriate sector
select signal (FSx or CSBOOTx) from the DPLD
must be active during the entire instruction sequence
to complete the entire 8032 address (this
includes the page number when memory paging is
used). Ignoring A12-A15 means the user has more
flexibility in memory mapping. For example, in
many traditional Flash memories, instruction sequences
must be written to addresses AAAAh and
5555h, not XAAAh and X555h like supported on
the PSD Module. When AAAAh and 5555h must
be written to, the memory mapping options are limited.
The Main Flash and Secondary Flash memories
each have the same instruction set shown in Table
80., page 148, but the sector select signals determine
which memory array will receive and execute
the instructions.uPSD33xx

Note: 1. All values are in hexadecimal, X = Don’t care
2. 8032 addresses A12 through A15 are “Don’t care” during the instruction sequence decoding. Only address bits A0-A11 are used
during decoding of Flash memory instruction sequences. The individual sector select signal (FS0 - FS7 or CSBOOT0-CSBOOT3)
which is active during the instruction sequence determines the complete address.
3. Directing this command to any individual sector within a Flash memory array will invoke the bulk erase of all Flash memory sectors
within that array.
Reading Flash Memory. Under typical conditions,
the 8032 may read the Flash memory using
READ operations (READ bus cycles) just as it
would a ROM or RAM device. Alternately, the
8032 may use READ operations to obtain status
information about a Program or Erase operation
that is currently in progress. The following sections
describe the kinds of READ operations.
Read Memory Contents. Flash memory is
placed in the Read Array mode after Power-up, after
a PSD Module reset event, or after receiving a
Reset Flash memory instruction sequence from
the 8032. The 8032 can read Flash memory contents
using standard READ bus cycles anytime the
Flash array is in Read Array mode. Flash memories
will always be in Read Array mode when the
array is not actively engaged in a program or erase
operation.
Reading the Erase/Program Status Bits. The
Flash arrays provide several status bits to be used
by the 8032 to confirm the completion of an erase
or program operation on Flash memory, shown in
Table 81., page 150. The status bits can be read
as many times as needed until an operation is
complete.
The 8032 performs a READ operation to obtain
these status bits while an erase or program operation
is being executed by the state machine inside
each Flash memory array.
Data Polling Flag (DQ7). While programming either
Flash memory, the 8032 may read the Data
Polling Flag Bit (DQ7), which outputs the com1.24Is0.6(2(i)8.4(3(n)]TJl)8.1(e21.5(n)-23.8(0.9(m3.5o)-23.8(f.9(m3.5)-7.23659 16.9(p)D72(g)-0)]TJ

If all the Flash memory sectors selected for erasure
are protected, DQ6 toggles to ’0’ for about
100µs, then returns value of D6 of the previously
addressed byte.
Error Flag (DQ5). During a normal program or
erase operation, the Error Flag Bit (DQ5) is to ’0’.
This bit is set to ’1’ when there is a failure during
Flash memory byte program, sector erase, or bulk
erase operations.
In the case of Flash memory programming, DQ5
Bit indicates an attempt to program a Flash memory
bit from the programmed state of 0, to the
erased state of 1, which is not valid. DQ5 may also
indicate a particular Flash cell is damaged and
cannot be programmed.
In case of an error in a Flash memory sector erase
or byte program operation, the Flash memory sector
in which the error occurred or to which the programmed
byte belongs must no longer be used.
Other Flash memory sectors may still be used.
DQ5 is reset after a Reset Flash instruction sequence.
Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3). The Erase Timeout
Flag Bit (DQ3) reflects the time-out period allowed
between two consecutive sector erase instruction
sequence bytes. If multiple sector erase
commands are desired, the additional sector
erase commands (30h) must be sent by the 8032
within 80us after the previous sector erase command.
DQ3 is 0 before this time period has expired,
indicating it is OK to issue additional sector
erase commands. DQ3 will go to logic ’1’ if the time
has been longer than 80µs since the previous sector
erase command (time has expired), indication
that is not OK to send another sector erase command.
In this case, the 8032 must start a new sector
erase instruction sequence (unlock and
command) beginning again after the current sector
erase operation has completed.
Programming Flash Memory. When a byte of
Flash memory is programmed, individual bits are
programmed to logic '0.' The user cannot program
a bit in Flash memory to a logic ’1’ once it has been
programmed to a logic '0.' A bit must be erased to
logic ’1’, and programmed to logic '0.' That means
Flash memory must be erased prior to being programmed.
A byte of Flash memory is erased to all
1s (FFh). The 8032 may erase the entire Flash
memory array all at once, or erase individual sector-by-sector,
but not erase byte-by-byte. However,
even though the Flash memories cannot be
erased byte-by-byte, the 8032 may program Flash
memory byte-by-byte. This means the 8032 does
not need to program group of bytes (64, 128, etc.)
at one time, like some Flash memories.
Each Flash memory requires the 8032 to send an
instruction sequence to program a byte or to erase
sectors (see Table 80., page 148).
If the byte to be programmed is in a protected
Flash memory sector, the instruction sequence is
ignored.
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that a chip-select
signal is active for the Flash sector where a programming
instruction sequence is targeted. Make
sure that the correct chip-select equation, FSx, or
CSBOOTx specified in PSDsoft Express matches
the address range that the 8032 firmware is accessing,
otherwise the instruction sequence will
not be recognized by the Flash array. If memory
paging is used, be sure that the 8032 firmware
sets the page register to the correct page number
before issuing an instruction sequence to the
Flash memory segment on a particular memory
page, otherwise the correct sector select signal
will not become active.
Once the 8032 issues a Flash memory program or
erase instruction sequence, it must check the status
bits for completion. The embedded algorithms
that are invoked inside a Flash memory array provide
several ways to give status to the 8032. Status
may be checked using any of three methods:
Data Polling, Data Toggle, or Ready/Busy (pin
PC3).

Data Polling. Polling on the Data Polling Flag Bit
(DQ7) is a method of checking whether a program
or erase operation is in progress or has completed.
Figure 61 shows the Data Polling algorithm.
When the 8032 issues a program instruction sequence,
the embedded algorithm within the Flash
memory array begins. The 8032 then reads the location
of the byte to be programmed in Flash
memory to check status. The Data Polling Flag Bit
(DQ7) of this location becomes the compliment of
Bit D7 of the original data byte to be programmed.
The 8032 continues to poll this location, comparing
the Data Polling Flag Bit (DQ7) and monitoring
the Error Flag Bit (DQ5). When the Data Polling
Flag Bit (DQ7) matches Bit D7 of the original data,
then the embedded algorithm is complete. If the
Error Flag Bit (DQ5) is '1,' the 8032 should test the
Data Polling Flag Bit (DQ7) again since the Data
Polling Flag Bit (DQ7) may have changed simultaneously
with the Error Flag Bit (DQ5) (see Figure
61).
The Error Flag Bit (DQ5) is set if either an internal
time-out occurred while the embedded algorithm
attempted to program the byte (indicating a bad
Flash cell) or if the 8032 attempted to program bit
to logic ’1’ when that bit was already programmed
to logic ’0’ (must erase to achieve logic ’1’).
It is suggested (as with all Flash memories) to read
the location again after the embedded programming
algorithm has completed, to compare the
byte that was written to the Flash memory with the
byte that was intended to be written.
When using the Data Polling method during an
erase operation, Figure 61 still applies. However,
the Data Polling Flag Bit (DQ7) is '0' until the erase
operation is complete. A ’1’ on the Error Flag Bit
(DQ5) indicates a time-out condition on the Erase
cycle, a ’0’ indicates no error. The 8032 can read
any location within the sector being erased to get
the Data Polling Flag Bit (DQ7) and the Error Flag
Bit (DQ5).
PSDsoft Express generates ANSI C code functions
for implementation of these Data Polling algorithms.

Data Toggle. Checking the Toggle Flag Bit
(DQ6) is another method of determining whether a
program or erase operation is in progress or has
completed. Figure 62 shows the Data Toggle algorithm.
When the 8032 issues a program instruction sequence,
the embedded algorithm within the Flash
memory array begins. The 8032 then reads the location
of the byte to be programmed in Flash
memory to check status. The Toggle Flag Bit
(DQ6) of this location toggles each time the 8032
reads this location until the embedded algorithm is
complete. The 8032 continues to read this location,
checking the Toggle Flag Bit (DQ6) and monitoring
the Error Flag Bit (DQ5). When the Toggle
Flag Bit (DQ6) stops toggling (two consecutive
reads yield the same value), then the embedded
algorithm is complete. If the Error Flag Bit (DQ5) is
'1,' the 8032 should test the Toggle Flag Bit (DQ6)
again, since the Toggle Flag Bit (DQ6) may have
changed simultaneously with the Error Flag Bit
(DQ5) (see Figure 62).
The Error Flag Bit (DQ5) is set if either an internal
time-out occurred while the embedded algorithm
attempted to program the byte, or if the 8032 attempted
to program bit to logic ’1’ when that bit
was already programmed to logic ’0’ (must erase
to achieve logic ’1’).
It is suggested (as with all Flash memories) to read
the location again after the embedded programming
algorithm has completed, to compare the
byte that was written to Flash memory with the
byte that was intended to be written.
When using the Data Toggle method during an
erase operation, Figure 62 still applies. the Toggle
Flag Bit (DQ6) toggles until the erase operation is
complete. A ’1’ on the Error Flag Bit (DQ5) indicates
a time-out condition on the Erase cycle, a ’0’
indicates no error. The 8032 can read any location
within the sector being erased to get the Toggle
Flag Bit (DQ6) and the Error Flag Bit (DQ5).

Ready/Busy (PC3). This signal can be used to
output the Ready/Busy status of a program or
erase operation on either Flash memory. The output
on the Ready/Busy pin is a ’0’ (Busy) when either
Flash memory array is being written, or when
either Flash memory array is being erased. The
output is a ’1’ (Ready) when no program or erase
operation is in progress. To activate this function
on this pin, the user must select the “Ready/Busy”
selection in PSDsoft Express when configuring pin
PC3. This pin may be polled by the 8032 or used
as a 8032 interrupt to indicate when an erase or
program operation is complete (requires routing
the signal on PC board from PC3 back into a pin
on the MCU Module). This signal is also available
internally on the PSD Module as an input to both
PLDs (without routing a signal externally on PC
board) and it’s signal name is “rd_bsy”. The
Ready/Busy output can be probed during lab development
to check the timing of Flash memory
programming in the system at run-time.
Bypassed Unlock Sequence. The Bypass Unlock
mode allows the 8032 to program bytes in the
Flash memories faster than using the standard
Flash program instruction sequences because the
typical AAh, 55h unlock bus cycles are bypassed
for each byte that is programmed. Bypassing the
unlock sequence is typically used when the 8032
is intentionally programming a large number of
bytes (such as during IAP). After intentional programming
is complete, typically the Bypass mode
would be disabled, and full protection is back in
place to prevent unwanted WRITEs to Flash memory.
The Bypass Unlock mode is entered by first initiating
two Unlock bus cycles. This is followed by a
third WRITE operation containing the Bypass Unlock
command, 20h (as shown in Table
80., page 148). The Flash memory array that received
that sequence then enters the Bypass Unlock
mode. After this, a two bus cycle program
operation is all that is required to program a byte
in this mode. The first bus cycle in this shortened
program instruction sequence contains the Bypassed
Unlocked Program command, A0h, to any
valid address within the unlocked Flash array. The
second bus cycle contains the address and data of
the byte to be programmed. Programming status
is checked using toggle, polling, or Ready/Busy
just as before. Additional data bytes are programmed
the same way until this Bypass Unlock
mode is exited.
To exit Bypass Unlock mode, the system must issue
the Reset Bypass Unlock instruction sequence.
The first bus cycle of this instruction must
write 90h to any valid address within the unlocked
Flash Array; the second bus cycle must write 00h
to any valid address within the unlocked Flash Array.
After this sequence the Flash returns to Read
Array mode.
During Bypass Unlock Mode, only the Bypassed
Unlock Program instruction, or the Reset Bypass
Unlock instruction is valid, other instruction will be
ignored.
Erasing Flash Memory. Flash memory may be
erased sector-by-sector, or an entire Flash memory
array may be erased with one command (bulk).
Flash Bulk Erase. The Flash Bulk Erase instruction
sequence uses six WRITE operations followed
by a READ operation of the status register,
as described in Table 80., page 148. If any byte of
the Bulk Erase instruction sequence is wrong, the
Bulk Erase instruction sequence aborts and the
device is reset to the Read Array mode. The address
provided by the 8032 during the Flash Bulk
Erase command sequence may select any one of
the eight Flash memory sector select signals FSx
or one of the four signals CSBOOTx. An erase of
the entire Flash memory array will occur in a particular
array even though a command was sent to
just one of the individual Flash memory sectors
within that array.
During a Bulk Erase, the memory status may be
checked by reading the Error Flag Bit (DQ5), the
Toggle Flag Bit (DQ6), and the Data Polling Flag
Bit (DQ7). The Error Flag Bit (DQ5) returns a ’1’ if
there has been an erase failure. Details of acquiring
the status of the Bulk Erase operation are detailed
in the section entitled “Programming Flash
Memory., page 150.
During a Bulk Erase operation, the Flash memory
does not accept any other Flash instruction sequences.uPSD33xx
154/231
Flash Sector Erase. The Sector Erase instruction
sequence uses six WRITE operations, as described
in Table 80., page 148. Additional Flash
Sector Erase commands to other sectors within
the same Flash array may be issued by the 8032
if the additional commands are sent within a limited
amount of time.
The Erase Time-out Flag Bit (DQ3) reflects the
time-out period allowed between two consecutive
sector erase instruction sequence bytes. If multiple
sector erase commands are desired, the additional
sector erase commands (30h) must be sent
by the 8032 to another sector within 80µs after the
previous sector erase command. DQ3 is 0 before
this time period has expired, indicating it is OK to
issue additional sector erase commands. DQ3 will
go to logic ’1’ if the time has been longer than 80µs
since the previous sector erase command (time
has expired), indicating that is not OK to send another
sector erase command. In this case, the
8032 must start a new sector erase instruction sequence
(unlock and command), beginning again
after the current sector erase operation has completed.
During a Sector Erase operation, the memory status
may be checked by reading the Error Flag Bit
(DQ5), the Toggle Flag Bit (DQ6), and the Data
Polling Flag Bit (DQ7), as detailed in Reading the
Erase/Program Status Bits, page 149.
During a Sector Erase operation, a Flash memory
accepts only Reset Flash and Suspend Sector
Erase instruction sequences. Erasure of one
Flash memory sector may be suspended, in order
to read data from another Flash memory sector,
and then resumed.
The address provided with the initial Flash Sector
Erase command sequence (Table 80., page 148)
must select the first desired sector (FSx or CSBOOTx)
to erase. Subsequent sector erase commands
that are appended within the time-out
period must be addressed to other desired segments
within the same Flash memory array.
Suspend Sector Erase. When a Sector Erase
operation is in progress, the Suspend Sector
Erase instruction sequence can be used to suspend
the operation by writing B0h to any valid address
within the Flash array that currently is
undergoing an erase operation. This allows reading
of data from a different Flash memory sector
within the same array after the Erase operation
has been suspended. Suspend Sector Erase is
accepted only during an Erase operation.
There is up to 15µs delay after the Suspend Sector
Erase command is accepted and the array goes to
Read Array mode. The 8032 will monitor the Toggle
Flag Bit (DQ6) to determine when the erase
operation has halted and Read Array mode is active.
If a Suspend Sector Erase instruction sequence
was executed, the following rules apply:
– Attempting to read from a Flash memory
sector that was being erased outputs invalid
data.
– Reading from a Flash memory sector that was
not being erased is valid.
– The Flash memory cannot be programmed,
and only responds to Resume Sector Erase
and Reset Flash instruction sequences.
– If a Reset Flash instruction sequence is
received, data in the Flash memory sector that
was being erased is invalid.
Resume Sector Erase. If a Suspend Sector
Erase instruction sequence was previously executed,
the erase cycle may be resumed with this
instruction sequence. The Resume Sector Erase
instruction sequence consists of writing the command
30h to any valid address within the Flash array
that was suspended as shown in Table
80., page 148.
Reset Flash. The Reset Flash instruction sequence
resets the embedded algorithm running on
the state machine in the targeted Flash memory
(Main or Secondary) and the memory goes into
Read Array mode. The Reset Flash instruction
consists of one bus WRITE cycle as shown in Table
80., page 148, and it must be executed after
any error condition that has occurred during a
Flash memory Program or Erase operation.
It may take the Flash memory up to 25µs to complete
the Reset cycle. The Reset Flash instruction
sequence is ignored when it is issued during a
Program or Bulk Erase operation. The Reset Flash
instruction sequence aborts any on-going Sector
Erase operation and returns the Flash memory to
Read Array mode within 25µs.
Reset Signal Applied to Flash Memory. Whenever
the PSD Module receives a reset signal from
the MCU Module, any operation that is occurring in
either Flash memory array will be aborted and the
array(s) will go to Read Array mode. It may take up
to 25µs to abort an operation and achieve Read
Array mode.
A reset from the MCU Module will result from any
of these events: an active signal on the uPSD33xx
RESET_IN input pin, a watchdog timer time-out,
detection of low VCC, or a JTAG debug channel reset
event.155/231
uPSD33xx
Flash Memory Sector Protection. Each Flash
memory sector can be separately protected
against program and erase operations. This mode
can be activated (or deactivated) by selecting this
feature in PSDsoft Express and then programming
through the JTAG Port. Sector protection can be
selected for individual sectors, and the 8032 cannot
override the protection during run-time. The
8032 can read, but not change, sector protection.
Any attempt to program or erase a protected Flash
memory sector is ignored. The 8032 may read the
contents of a Flash sector even when a sector is
protected.
Sector protection status is not read using Flash
memory instruction sequences, but instead this
status is read by the 8032 reading two registers
within csiop address space shown in Table 82 and
Table 83.
Flash Memory Protection During Power-Up.
Flash memory WRITE operations are automatically
prevented while VDD is ramping up until it rises
above VLKO voltage threshold at which time Flash
memory WRITE operations are allowed.
PSD Module Security Bit. A programmable security
bit in the PSD Module protects its contents
from unauthorized viewing and copying. The security
bit is set using PSDsoft Express and programmed
into the PSD Module with JTAG. When
set, the security bit will block access of JTAG programming
equipment from reading or modifying
the PSD Module Flash memory and PLD configuration.
The security bit also blocks JTAG access to
the MCU Module for debugging. The only way to
defeat the security bit is to erase the entire PSD
Module using JTAG (erase is the only JTAG operation
allowed while security bit is set), after which
the device is blank and may be used again. The
8032 MCU will always have access to Flash mem-uPSD33xx
156/231
PLDs. The PSD Module contains two PLDs: the
Decode PLD (DPLD), and the General PLD
(GPLD), as shown in Figure 63., page 157. Both
PLDs are fed by a common PLD input signal bus,
and additionally, the GPLD is connected to the
8032 data bus.
PLD logic is specified using PSDsoft Express and
programmed into the PSD Module using the JTAG
ISP channel. PLD logic is non-volatile and available
at power-up. PLDs may not be programmed
by the 8032. The PLDs have selectable levels of
performance and power consumption.
The DPLD performs address decoding, and generates
select signals for internal and external components,
such as memory, registers, and I/O ports.
The DPLD can generate External Chip-Select
(ECS1-ECS2) signals on Port D.
The GPLD can be used for logic functions, such as
loadable counters and shift registers, state machines,
encoding and decoding logic. These logic
functions can be constructed from a combination
of 16 Output Macrocells (OMC), 20 Input Macrocells
(IMC), and the AND-OR Array.
Routing of the 16 OMCs outputs can be divided
between pins on three Ports A, B, or C by the OMC
Allocator as shown in Figure 67., page 163. Eight
of the 16 OMCs that can be routed to pins on Port
A or Port B and are named MCELLAB0-
MCELLAB7. The other eight OMCs to be routed to
pins on Port B or Port C and are named
MCELLBC0-MCELLBC7. This routing depends on
the pin number assignments that are specified in
PSDsoft Express for “PLD Outputs” in the Pin Definition
section. OMC outputs can also be routed internally
(not to pins) used as buried nodes to
create shifters, counters, etc.
The AND-OR Array is used to form product terms.
These product terms are configured from the logic
definitions entered in PSDsoft Express. A PLD Input
Bus consisting of 69 signals is connected to
both PLDs. Input signals are shown in Table 84,
both the true and compliment versions of each of
these signals are available at inputs to each PLD.
Note: The 8032 data bus, D0 - D7, does not route
directly to PLD inputs. Instead, the 8032 data bus
has indirect access to the GPLD (not the DPLD)
when the 8032 reads and writes the OMC and IMC
registers within csiop address space.
Turbo Bit and PLDs. The PLDs can minimize
power consumption by going to standby after ALL
the PLD inputs remain unchanged for an extended
time (about 70ns). When the Turbo Bit is set to logic
one (Bit 3 of the csiop PMMR0 Register), Turbo
mode is turned off and then this automatic standby
mode is achieved. Turning off Turbo mode increases
propagation delays while reducing power
consumption. The default state of the Turbo Bit is
logic zero, meaning Turbo mode is on. Additionally,
four bits are available in the csiop PMMR0 and
PMMR2 Registers to block the 8032 bus control
signals (RD, WR, PSEN, ALE) from entering the
PLDs. This reduces power consumption and can
be used only when these 8032 control signals are
not used in PLD logic equations. See Power
Management, page 187.

Decode PLD (DPLD). The DPLD (Figure
64., page 159) generates the following memory
decode signals:
■ Eight Main Flash memory sector select signals
(FS0-FS7) with three product terms each
■ Four Secondary Flash memory sector select
signals (CSBOOT0-CSBOOT3) with three
product terms each
■ One SRAM select signal (RS0) with two
product terms
■ One select signal for the base address of 256
PSD Module device control and status
registers (CSIOP) with one product term
■ Two external chip-select output signals for
Port D pins, each with one product term (52-
pin devices only have one pin on Port D)
■ Two chip-select signals (PSEL0, PSEL1) used
to enable the 8032 data bus repeater function
(Peripheral I/O mode) for Port A on 80-pin
devices. Each has one product term.
A product term indicates the logical OR of two or
more inputs. For example, three product terms in
a DPLD output means the final output signal is capable
of representing the logical OR of three different
input signals, each input signal representing
the logical AND of a combination of the 69 PLD inputs.
Using the signal FS0 for example, the user may
create a 3-product term chip select signal that is
logic true when any one of three different address
ranges are true... FS0 = address range 1 OR address
range 2 OR address range 3.
The phrase “one product term” is a bit misleading,
but commonly used in this context. One product
term is the logical AND of two or more inputs, with
no OR logic involved at all, such as the CSIOP signal
in Figure 64., page 159.159/231

General PLD (GPLD). The GPLD is used to create
general system logic. Figure 63., page 157
shows the architecture of the entire GPLD, and
Figure 65., page 161 shows the relationship between
one OMC, one IMC, and one I/O port pin,
which is representative of pins on Ports A, B, and
C. It is important to understand how these elements
work together. A more detailed description
will follow for the three major blocks (OMC, IMC, I/
O Port) shown in Figure 65. Figure 65 also shows
which csiop registers to access for various PLD
and I/O functions.
The GPLD contains:
■ 16 Output Macrocells (OMC)
■ 20 Input Macrocells (IMC)
■ OMC Allocator
■ Product Term Allocator inside each OMC
■ AND-OR Array capable of generating up to
137 product terms
■ Three I/O Ports, A, B, and C161/231

Output Macrocell. The GPLD has 16 OMCs. Architecture
of one individual OMC is shown in Figure
66. OMCs can be used for internal node
feedback (buried registers to build shift registers,
etc.), or their outputs may be routed to external
port pins. The user can choose any mixture of
OMCs used for buried functions and OMCs used
to drive port pins.
Referring to Figure 66, for each OMC there are native
product terms available from the AND-OR Array
to form logic, and also borrowed product terms
are available (if unused) from other OMCs. The
polarity of the final product term output is controlled
by the XOR gate. Each OMC can implement
sequential logic using the flip-flop element,
or combinatorial logic when bypassing the flip-flop
as selected by the output multiplexer. An OMC
output can drive a port pin through the OMC Allocator,
it can also drive the 8032 data bus, and also
it can drive a feedback path to the AND-OR Array
inputs, all at the same time.
The flip-flop in each OMC can be synthesized as a
D, T, JK, or SR type in PSDsoft Express. OMC flipflops
are specified using PSDsoft Express in the
“User Defined Nodes” section of the Design Assistant.
Each flip-flop’s clock, preset, and clear inputs
may be driven individually from a product term of
the AND-OR Array, defined by equations in PSDsoft
Express for signals *. c, *.pr, and *.re respectively.
The preset and clear inputs on the flip-flops
are level activated, active-high logic signals. The
clock inputs on the flip-flops are rising-edge logic
signals.
Optionally, the signal CLKIN (pin PD1) can be
used for a common clock source to all OMC flipflops.
Each flip-flop is clocked on the rising edge.
A common clock is specified in PSDsoft Express
by assigning the function “Common Clock Input”
for pin PD1 in the Pin Definition section, and then
choosing the signal CLKIN when specifying the
clock input (*.c) for individual flip-flops in the “User
Defined Nodes” section.

OMC Allocator. Outputs of the 16 OMCs can be
routed to a combination of pins on Port A (80-pin
devices only), Port B, or Port C as shown in Figure
67. OMCs are routed to port pins automatically after
specifying pin numbers in PSDsoft Express.
Routing can occur on a bit-by-bit basis, spitting
OMC assignment between the ports. However,
one OMC can be routed to one only port pin, not
both ports.
Product Term Allocator. Each OMC has a Product
Term Allocator as shown in Figure
66., page 162. PSDsoft Express uses PT Allocators
to give and take product terms to and from
other OMCs to fit a logic design into the available
silicon resources. This happens automatically in
PSDsoft Express, but understanding how PT allocation
works will help the user if the logic design
does not “fit,” in which case the user may try selecting
a different pin or different OMC for the logic
where more product terms may be available. The
following list summarizes how product terms are
allocated to each OMC, as shown in Table
85., page 164.
– MCELLAB0-MCELLAB7 each have three
native product terms and may borrow up to six
more
– MCELLBC0-MCELLBC3 each have four
native product terms and may borrow up to
five more
– MCELLBC4-MCELLBC7 each have four
native product terms and may borrow up to six
more.
Native product terms come from the AND-OR Array.
Each OMC may borrow product terms only
from certain other OMCs, if they are not in use.
Product term allocation does not add any propagation
delay to the logic. The fitter report generated
by PSDsoft Express will show any PT allocation
that has occurred.
If an equation requires more product terms than
are available to it through PT allocation, then “external”
product terms are required, which consumes
other OMCs. This is called product term
expansion and also happens automatically in PSDsoft
Express as needed. PT expansion causes
additional propagation delay because an additional
OMC is consumed by the expansion process
and it’s output is rerouted (or fed back) into the
AND-OR array. The user can examine the fitter report
generated by PSDsoft Express to see resulting
PT allocation and PT expansion (expansion
will have signal names, such as ‘*.fb_0’ or ‘*.fb_1’).
PSDsoft Express will always try to fit the logic design
first by using PT allocation, and if that is not
sufficient then PSDsoft Express will use PT expansion.
Product term expansion may occur in the DPLD
for complex chip select equations for Flash memory
sectors and for SRAM, but this is a rare occurence.
If PSDsoft Express does use PT
expansion in the DPLD, it results in an approximate
15ns additional propagation delay for that
chip select signal, which gives 15ns less time for
the memory to respond. Be aware of this and consider
adding a wait state to the 8032 bus access
(using the SFR named, BUSCON), or lower the
8032 clock frequency to avoid problems with
memory access time.

Loading and Reading OMCs. Each of the two
OMC groups (eight OMCs each) occupies a byte
in csiop space, named MCELLAB and MCELLBC
(see Table 86 and Table 87). When the 8032
writes or reads these two OMC registers in csiop it
is accessing each of the OMCs through it’s 8-bit
data bus, with the bit assignment shown in Table
85., page 164. Sometimes it is important to know
the bit assignment when the user builds GPLD logic
that is accessed by the 8032. For example, the
user may create a 4-bit counter that must be loaded
and read by the 8032, so the user must know
which nibble in the corresponding csiop OMC register
the firmware must access. The fitter report
generated by PSDsoft Express will indicate how it
assigned the OMCs and data bus bits to the logic.
The user can optionally force PSDsoft Express to
assign logic to specific OMCs and data bus bits if
desired by using the ‘PROPERTY’ statement in
PSDsoft Express. Please see the PSDsoft Express
User’s Manual for more information on OMC
assignments.
Loading the OMC flip-flops with data from the
8032 takes priority over the PLD logic functions.
As such, the preset, clear, and clock inputs to the
flip-flop can be asynchronously overridden when
the 8032 writes to the csiop registers to load the individual
OMCs.

OMC Mask Registers. There is one OMC Mask
Register for each of the two groups of eight OMCs
shown in Table 88 and Table 89. The OMC mask
registers are used to block loading of data to individual
OMCs. The default value for the mask registers
is 00h, which allows loading of all OMCs.
When a given bit in a mask register is set to a '1,'
the 8032 is blocked from writing to the associated
OMC flip-flop. For example, suppose that only four
of eight OMCs (MCELLAB0-3) are being used for
a state machine. The user may not want the 8032
write to all the OMCs in MCELLAB because it
would overwrite the state machine registers.
Therefore, the user would want to load the mask
register for MCELLAB with the value 0Fh before
writing OMCs.
Table 88. Output Macrocell MCELLAB Mask Register (address = csiop + offset 22h)
Note: 1. Default is 00h after any reset condition
2. 1 = block writing to individual macrocell, 0 = allow writing to individual macrocell

Note: 1. Default is 00h after any reset condition
2. 1 = block writing to individual macrocell, 0 = allow writing to individual macrocell
Input Macrocells. The GPLD has 20 IMCs, one
for each pin on Port A (80-pin device only), one for
each pin on Port B, and for the four pins on Port C
that are not JTAG pins. The architecture of one individual
IMC is shown in Figure 68., page 167.
IMCs are individually configurable, and they can
strobe a signal coming in from a port pin as a latch
(gated), or as a register (clocked), or the IMC can
pass the signal without strobing, all prior to driving
the signal onto the PLD input bus. Strobing is useful
for sampling and debouncing inputs (keypad inputs,
etc.) before entering the PLD AND-OR
arrays. The outputs of IMCs can be read by the
8032 asynchronously when the 8032 reads the
csiop registers shown in Table 90, Table 91, and
Table 92., page 167. It is possible to read a PSD
Module port pin using one of two different methods,
one method is by reading IMCs as described
here, the other method is using MCU I/O mode described
in a later section.
The optional IMC clocking or gating signal used to
strobe pin inputs is driven by a product term from
the AND-OR array. There is one clocking or gating
product term available for each group of four
IMCs. Port inputs 0-3 are controlled by one product
term and 4-7 by another. To specify in PSDsoft
Express the method in which a signal will be
strobed as it enters an IMC for a given input pin on
Port A, B, or C, just specify “PT Clocked Register”
to use a rising edge to clock the incoming signal,
or specify “PT Clock Latch” to use an active high
gate signal to latch the incoming signal. Then define
an equation for the IMC clock (.ld) or the IMC
gate (.le) signal in the “I/O Equations” section.
If the user would like to latch an incoming signal
using the gate signal ALE from the 8032, then in
PSDsoft Express, for a given input pin on Port A,
B, or C, specify “Latched Address” as the pin function.
If it is desired to pass an incoming signal through
an IMC directly to the AND-OR array inputs without
clocking or gating (this is most common), in
PSDsoft Express simply specify “Logic or Address”
for the input pin function on Port A, B, or C.

I/O Ports. There are four programmable I/O ports
on the PSD Module: Port A (80-pin device only),
Port B, Port C, and Port D. Ports A and B are eight
bits each, Port C is four bits, and Port D is two bits
for 80-pin devices or 1-bit for 52-pin devices. Each
port pin is individually configurable, thus allowing
multiple functions per port. The ports are configured
using PSDsoft Express then programming
with JTAG, and also by the 8032 writing to csiop
registers at run-time.
Topics discussed in this section are:
■ General Port architecture
■ Port Operating Modes
■ Individual Port Structure
General Port Architecture. The general architecture
for a single I/O Port pin is shown in Figure
69., page 169. Port structures for Ports A, B, C,
and D differ slightly and are shown in Figure
74., page 181 though Figure 77., page 186.
Figure 69., page 169 shows four csiop registers
whose outputs are determined by the value that
the 8032 writes to csiop Direction, Drive, Control,
and Data Out. The I/O Port logic contains an output
mux whose mux select signal is determined by
PSDsoft Express and the csiop Control register
bits at run-time. Inputs to this output mux include
the following:
1. Data from the csiop Data Out register for MCU
I/O output mode (All ports)
2. Latched de-multiplexed 8032 Address for
Address Output mode (Ports A and B only)
3. Peripheral I/O mode data bit (Port A only)
4. GPLD OMC output (Ports A, B, and C).
The Port Data Buffer (PDB) provides feedback to
the 8032 and allows only one source at a time to
be read when the 8032 reads various csiop registers.
There is one PDB for each port pin enabling
the 8032 to read the following on a pin-by-pin basis:
1. MCU I/O signal direction setting (csiop
Direction reg)
2. Pin drive type setting (csiop Drive Select reg)
3. Latched Addr Out mode setting (csiop Control
reg)
4. MCU I/O pin output setting (csiop Data Out
reg)
5. Output Enable of pin driver (csiop Enable Out
reg)
6. MCU I/O pin input (csiop Data In reg)
A port pin’s output enable signal is controlled by a
two input OR gate whose inputs come from: a
product term of the AND-OR array; the output of
the csiop Direction Register. If an output enable
from the AND-OR Array is not defined, and the
port pin is not defined as an OMC output, and if
Peripheral I/O mode is not used, then the csiop Direction
Register has sole control of the OE signal.
As shown in Figure 69., page 169, a physical port
pin is connected to the I/O Port logic and is also
separately routed to an IMC, allowing the 8032 to
read a port pin by two different methods (MCU I/O
input mode or read the IMC).
Port Operating Modes. I/O Port logic has several
modes of operation. Table 88., page 166 summarizes
which modes are available on each port.
Each of the port operating modes are described in
following sections. Some operating modes can be
defined using PSDsoft Express, and some by the
8032 writing to the csiop registers at run-time, and
some require both. For example, PLD I/O, Latched
Address Out, and Peripheral I/O modes must be
defined in PSDsoft Express and programmed into
the device using JTAG, but an additional step
must happen at run-time to activate Latched Address
Out mode and Peripheral I/O mode, but not
needed for PLD I/O. In another example, MCU I/O
mode is controlled completely by the 8032 at runtime
and only a simple pin name declaration is
needed in PSDsoft Express for documentation.
Table 89., page 166 summarizes what actions are
needed in PSDsoft Express and what actions are
required by the 8032 at run-time to achieve the
various port functions.169/231

MCU I/O Mode. In MCU I/O mode, the 8032 on
the MCU Module expands its own I/O by using the
I/O Ports on the PSD Module. The 8032 can read
PSD Module I/O pins, set the direction of the I/O
pins, and change the output state of I/O pins by accessing
the Data In, Direction, and Data Out csiop
registers respectively at run-time.
To implement MCU I/O mode, each desired pin is
specified in PSDsoft Express as MCU I/O function
and given a pin name. Then 8032 firmware is written
to set the Direction bit for each corresponding
pin during initialization routines (0 = In, 1 = Out of
the chip), then the 8032 firmware simply reads the
corresponding Data In register to determine the
state of an I/O pin, or writes to a Data Out register
to set the state of a pin. The Direction of each pin
may be changed dynamically by the 8032 if desired.
A mixture of input and output pins within a
single port is allowed. Figure 69., page 169 shows
the Data In, Data Out, and Direction signal paths.
The Data In registers are defined in Table 95 to
Table 98. The Data Out registers are defined in
Table 99 to Table 102., page 173. The Direction
registers are defined in Table 103 to Table
106., page 173.

PLD I/O Mode. Pins on Ports A, B, C, and D can
serve as inputs to either the DPLD or the GPLD.
Inputs to these PLDs from Ports A, B, and C are
routed through IMCs before reaching the PLD input
bus. Inputs to the PLDs from Port D do not
pass through IMCs, but route directly to the PLD
input bus.
Pins on Ports A, B, and C can serve as outputs
from GPLD OMCs, and Port D pins can be outputs
from the DPLD (external chip-selects) which do
not consume OMCs.
Whenever a pin is specified to be a PLD output, it
cannot be used for MCU I/O mode, or other pin
modes. If a pin is specified to be a PLD input, it is
still possible to read the pin using MCU I/O input
mode with the csiop register Data In. Also, the
csiop Direction register can still affect a pin which
is used for a PLD input. The csiop Data Out register
has no effect on a PLD output pin.
Each pin on Ports A, B, C, and D have a tri-state
buffer at the final output stage. The Output Enable
signal for this buffer is driven by the logical OR of
two signals. One signal is an Output Enable signal
generated by the AND-OR array (from an .oe
equation specified in PSDsoft), and the other signal
is the output of the csiop Direction register.
This logic is shown in Figure 69., page 169. At
power-on, all port pins default to high-impedance
input (Direction registers default to 00h). However,
if an equation is written for the Output Enable that
is active at power-on, then the pin will behave as
an output.
PLD I/O equations are specified in PSDsoft Express
and programmed into the uPSD using
JTAG. Figure 70 shows a very simple combinatorial
logic example which is implemented on pins of
Port B.
To give a general idea how PLD logic is implemented
using PSDsoft Express, Figure
71., page 175 illustrates the pin declaration window
of PSDsoft Express, showing the PLD output
at pin PB0 declared as “Combinatorial” in the “PLD
Output” section, and a signal name, “pld_out”, is
specified. The other three signals on pins PB1,
PB2, and PB3 would be declared as “Logic or Address”
in the “PLD Input” section, and given signal
names.
In the “Design Assistant” window of PSDsoft Express
shown in Figure 72., page 176, simply enter
the logic equation for the signal “pld_out” as
shown. Either type in the logic statements or enter
them using a point-and-click method, selecting
various signal names and logic operators available
in the window.
After PSDsoft Express has accepted and realized
the logic from the equations, it synthesizes the logic
statement:
pld_out = ( pld_in_1 # pld_in_2 ) & !pld_in_3;
to be programmed into the GPLD. See the PSDsoft
User’s Manual for all the steps.
Note: If a particular OMC output is specified as an
internal node and not specified as a port pin output
in PSDsoft Express, then the port pin that is associated
with that OMC can be used for other I/O
functions.

Latched Address Output Mode. In the MCU
Module, the data bus Bits D0-D15 are multiplexed
with the low address Bits A0-A15, and the ALE signal
is used to separate them with respect to time.
Sometimes it is necessary to send de-multiplexed
address signals to external peripherals or memory
devices. Latched Address Output mode will drive
individual demuxed address signals on pins of
Ports A or B. Port pins can be designated for this
function on a pin-by-pin basis, meaning that an entire
port will not be sacrificed if only a few address
signals are needed.
To activate this mode, the desired pins on Port A
or Port B are designated as “Latched Address Out”
in PSDsoft. Then in the 8032 initialization firmware,
a logic ’1’ is written to the csiop Control register
for Port A or Port B in each bit position that
corresponds to the pin of the port driving an address
signal. Table 107 and Table 108 define the
csiop Control register locations and bit assignments.
The latched low address byte A4-A7 is available
on both Port A and Port B. The high address byte
A8-A15 is available on Port B only. Selection of
high or low address byte is specified in PSDsoft
Express.

Peripheral I/O Mode. This mode will provide a
data bus repeater function for the 8032 to interface
with external parallel peripherals. The mode is
only available on Port A (80-pin devices only) and
the data bus signals, D0 - D7, are de-multiplexed
(no address A0-A7). When active, this mode behaves
like a bidirectional buffer, with the direction
automatically controlled by the 8032 RD and WR
signals for a specified address range. The DPLD
signals PSEL0 and PSEL1 determine this address
range. Figure 69., page 169 shows the action of
Peripheral I/O mode on the Output Enable logic of
the tri-state output driver for a single port pin. Figure
73., page 178 illustrates data repeater the operation.
To activate this mode, choose the pin
function “Peripheral I/O Mode” in PSDsoft Express
on any Port A pin (all eight pins of Port A will automatically
change to this mode). Next in PSDsoft,
specify an address range for the PSELx signals in
the “Chip-Select” section of the “Design Assistant.”
Specify an address range for either PSEL0 or
PSEL1. Always qualify the PSELx equation with
“PSEN is logic '1'” to ensure Peripheral I/O mode
is only active during 8032 data cycles, not code cycles.
Only one equation is needed since PSELx
signals are OR’ed together (Figure 73). Then in
the 8032 initialization firmware, a logic ’1’ is written
to the csiop VM register, Bit 7 (PIO_EN) as shown
in Table 73., page 132. After this, Port A will automatically
perform this repeater function whenever
the 8032 presents an address (and memory page
number, if paging is used) that is within the range
specified by PSELx. Once Port A is designated as
Peripheral I/O mode in PSDsoft Express, it cannot
be used for other functions.
Note: The user can alternatively connect an external
parallel peripheral to the standard 8032 AD0-
AD7 pins on an 80-pin uPSD device (not Port A),
but these pins have multiplexed address and data
signals, with a weaker fanout drive capability.

JTAG ISP Mode. Four of the pins on Port C are
based on the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG specification and
are used for In-System Programming (ISP) of the
PSD Module and debugging of the 8032 MCU
Module. These pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) are
dedicated to JTAG and cannot be used for any
other I/O function. There are two optional pins on
Port C (TSTAT and TERR) that can be used to reduce
programming time during ISP. See JTAG
ISP and JTAG Debug, page 195.
Other Port Capabilities. It is possible to change
the type of output drive on the ports at run-time. It
is also possible to read the state of the output enable
signal of the output driver at run-time. The following
sections provide the details.
Port Pin Drive Options. The csiop Drive Select
registers allow reconfiguration of the output drive
type for certain pins on Ports A, B, C, and D. The
8032 can change the default drive type setting at
run-time. The is no action needed in PSDsoft Express
to change or define these pin output drive
types. Figure 69., page 169 shows the csiop Drive
Select register output controlling the pin output
driver. The default setting for drive type for all pins
on Ports A, B, C, and D is a standard CMOS pushpull
output driver.
Note: When a pin on Port A, B, C, D is not used as
an output and has no external device driving it as
an input (floating pin), excess power consumption
can be avoided by placing a weak pull-up resistor
(100KΩ) to VDD which keeps the CMOS input pin
from floating.
Drive Select Registers. The csiop Drive Select
Registers will configure a pin output driver as
Open Drain or CMOS push/pull for some port pins,
and controls the slew rate for other port pins. An
external pull-up resistor should be used for pins
configured as Open Drain, and the resistor should
be sized not to exceed the current sink capability
of the pin (see DC specifications). Open Drain outputs
are diode clamped, thus the maximum voltage
on an pin configured as Open Drain is VDD +
0.7V.
A pin can be configured as Open Drain if its corresponding
bit in the Drive Select Register is set to
logic '1.'
Note: The slew rate is a measurement of the rise
and fall times of an output. A higher slew rate
means a faster output response and may create
more electrical noise. A pin operates in a high slew
rate when the corresponding bit in the Drive Register
is set to '1.' The default rate is standard slew
rate (see AC specifications).
Table 109 through Table 112., page 180 show the
csiop Drive Registers for Ports A, B, C, and D. The
tables summarize which pins can be configured as
Open Drain outputs and which pins the slew rate
can be changed. The default output type is CMOS
push/pull output with normal slew rate.
Enable Out Registers. The state of the output
enable signal for the output driver at each pin on
Ports A, B, C, and D can be read at any time by the
8032 when it reads the csiop Enable Output registers.
Logic '1' means the driver is in output mode,
logic ’0’ means the output driver is in high-impedance
mode, making the pin suitable for input mode
(read by the input buffer shown in Figure
69., page 169). Figure 69 shows the three sources
that can control the pin output enable signal: a
product term from AND-OR array; the csiop Direction
register; or the Peripheral I/O Mode logic (Port
A only). The csiop Enable Out registers represent
the state of the final output enable signal for each
port pin driver, and are defined in Table
113., page 180 through Table 116., page 180.

Port C Structure. Port C supports the following
operating modes on pins PC2, PC3, PC4, PC7:
■ MCU I/O Mode
■ GPLD Output Mode from Output Macrocells
MCELLBC2, MCELLBC3, MCELLBC4,
MCELLBC7
■ GPLD Input Mode to Input Macrocells IMCC2,
IMCC3, IMCC4, IMCC7
See Figure 76., page 184 for detail.
Port C pins can also be configured in PSDsoft for
other dedicated functions:
– Pins PC3 and PC4 support TSTAT and TERR
status indicators, to reduce the amount of time
required for JTAG ISP programming. These
two pins must be used together for this
function, adding to the four standard JTAG
signals. When TSTAT and TERR are used, it
is referred to as “6-pin JTAG”. PC3 and PC4
cannot be used for other functions if they are
used for 6-pin JTAG. See JTAG ISP and
JTAG Debug, page 195 for details.
– PC2 can be used as a voltage input (from
battery or other DC source) to backup the
contents of SRAM when VDD is lost. This
function is specified in PSDsoft Express as
SRAM Standby Mode (battery
backup), page 193.
– PC3 can be used as an output to indicate
when a Flash memory program or erase
operation has completed. This is specified in
PSDsoft Express as Ready/Busy
(PC3), page 153.
– PC4 can be used as an output to indicate
when the SRAM has switched to backup
voltage (when VDD is less than the battery
input voltage on PC2). This is specified in
PSDsoft Express as “Standby-On Indicator”
(see SRAM Standby Mode (battery
backup), page 193).
The remaining four pins (TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS) on
Port C are dedicated to the JTAG function and
cannot be used for any other function. See JTAG
ISP and JTAG Debug, page 195.
Port C also supports the Open Drain output drive
type options on pins PC2, PC3, PC4, and PC7 using
the csiop Drive Select registers.uPSD33xx

Port D Structure. Port D has two I/O pins (PD1,
PD2) on 80-pin uPSD33xx devices, and just one
pin (PD1) on 52-pin devices, supporting the following
operating modes:
■ MCU I/O Mode
■ DPLD Output Mode for External Chip Selects,
ECS1, ECS2. This does not consume OMCs
in the GPLD.
■ PLD Input Mode – direct input to the PLD Input
Bus available to DPLD and GPLD. Does not
use IMCs
See Figure 77., page 186 for detail.
Port D pins can also be configured in PSDsoft as
pins for other dedicated functions:
– PD1 can be used as a common clock input to
all 16 OMC Flip-flops (see OMCs, page 136)
and also the Automatic Power-Down
(APD), page 189.
– PD2 can be used as a common chip select
signal (CSI) for the Flash and SRAM
memories on the PSD Module (see Chip Select
Input (CSI), page 191). If driven to logic ’1’
by an external source, CSI will force all
memories into standby mode regardless of
what other internal memory select signals are
doing on the PSD Module. This is specified in
PSDsoft as “PSD Chip Select Input, CSI”.
Port D also supports the Fast Slew Rate output
drive type option using the csiop Drive Select registers.uPSD33xx

Power Management. The PSD Module offers
configurable power saving options, and also a way
to manage power to the SRAM (battery backup).
These options may be used individually or in combinations.
A top level description for these functions
is given here, then more detailed
descriptions will follow.
– Zero-Power Memory: All memory arrays
(Flash and SRAM) in the PSD Module are built
with zero-power technology, which puts the
memories into standby mode (~ zero DC
current) when 8032 address signals are not
changing. As soon as a transition occurs on
any address input, the affected memory
“wakes up”, changes and latches its outputs,
then goes back to standby. The designer does
not have to do anything special to achieve this
memory standby mode when no inputs are
changing—it happens automatically. Thus,
the slower the 8032 clock, the lower the
current consumption.
Both PLDs (DPLD and GPLD) are also zeropower,
but this is not the default condition. The
8032 must set a bit in one of the csiop PMMR
registers at run-time to achieve zero-power.
– Automatic Power-Down (APD): The APD
feature allows the PSD Module to reach it’s
lowest current consumption levels. If enabled,
the APD counter will time-out when there is a
lack of 8032 bus activity for an extended
amount of time (8032 asleep). After time-out
occurs, all 8032 address and data buffers on
the PSD Module are shut down, preventing
the PSD Module memories and potentially the
PLDs from waking up from standby, even if
address inputs are changing state because of
noise or any external components driving the
address lines. Since the actual address and
data buffers are turned off, current
consumption is even further reduced.
Note: Non-address signals are still available
to PLD inputs and will wake up the PLDs if
these signals are changing state, but will not
wake up the memories.
The APD counter requires a relatively slow
external clock input on pin PD1 that does stop
when the 8032 goes to sleep mode.
– Forced Power-Down (FPD): The MCU can
put the PSD Module into Power-Down mode
with the same results as using APD described
above, but FPD does not rely on the APD
counter. Instead, FPD will force the PSD
Module into Power-Down mode when the
MCU firmware sets a bit in one of the csiop
PMMR registers. This is a good alternative to
APD because no external clock is needed for
the APD counter.
– PSD Module Chip Select Input (CSI): This
input on pin PD2 (80-pin devices only) can be
used to disable the internal memories, placing
them in standby mode even if address inputs
are changing. This feature does not block any
internal signals (the address and data buffers
are still on but signals are ignored) and CSI
does not disable the PLDs. This is a good
alternative to using the APD counter, which
requires an external clock on pin PD1.
– Non-Turbo Mode: The PLDs can operate in
Turbo or non-Turbo modes. Turbo mode has
the shortest signal propagation delay, but
consumes more current than non-Turbo
mode. A csiop register can be written by the
8032 to select modes, the default mode is with
Turbo mode enabled. In non-Turbo mode, the
PLDs can achieve very low standby current (~
zero DC current) while no PLD inputs are
changing, and the PLDs will even use less AC
current when inputs do change compared to
Turbo mode.
When the Turbo mode is enabled, there is a
significant DC current component AND the AC
current component is higher than non-Turbo
mode, as shown in Figure 85., page 202 (5V)
and Figure 86., page 202 (3.3V).
– Blocking Bits: Significant power savings can
be achieved by blocking 8032 bus control
signals (RD, WR, PSEN, ALE) from reaching
PLD inputs, if these signals are not used in
any PLD equations. Blocking is achieved by
the 8032 writing to the “blocking bits” in csiop
PMMR registers. Current consumption of the
PLDs is directly related to the composite
frequency of all transitions on PLD inputs, so
blocking certain PLD inputs can significantly
lower PLD operating frequency and power
consumption (resulting in a lower frequency
on the graphs of Figure 85., page 202 and
Figure 86., page 202).
– SRAM Backup Voltage: Pin PC2 can be
configured in PSDsoft to accept an alternate
DC voltage source (battery) to automatically
retain the contents of SRAM when VDD drops
below this alternate voltage.
Note: It is recommended to prevent unused
inputs from floating on Ports A, B, C, and D by
pulling them up to VDD with a weak external
resistor (100KΩ), or by setting the csiop
Direction register to “output” at run-time for all
unused inputs. This will prevent the CMOS
input buffers of unused input pins from
drawing excessive current.

Automatic Power-Down (APD). The APD unit
shown in Figure 63., page 157 puts the PSD Module
into power-down mode by monitoring the activity
of the 8032 Address Latch Enable (ALE) signal.
If the APD unit is enabled by writing a logic ’1’ to
Bit 1 of the csiop PMMR0 register, and if ALE signal
activity has stopped (8032 in sleep mode),
then the four-bit APD counter starts counting up. If
the ALE signal remains inactive for 15 clock periods
of the CLKIN signal (pin PD1), then the APD
counter will reach maximum count and the power
down indicator signal (PDN) goes to logic ’1’ forcing
the PSD Module into power-down mode. During
this time, all buffers on the PSD Module for
8032 address and data signals are disabled in silicon,
preventing the PSD Module memories from
waking up from stand-by mode, even if noise or
other devices are driving the address lines. The
PLDs will also stay in standby mode if the PLDs
are in non-Turbo mode and if all other PLD inputs
(non-address signals) are static.
However, if the ALE signal has a transition before
the APD counter reaches max count, the APD
counter is cleared to zero and the PDN signal will
not go active, preventing power-down mode. To
prevent unwanted APD time-outs during normal
8032 operation (not sleeping), it is important to
choose a clock frequency for CLKIN that will NOT
produce 15 or more pulses within the longest period
between ALE transitions. A 32768 Hz clock signal
is quite often an ideal frequency for CLKIN and
APD, and this frequency is often available on external
supervisor or real-time clock devices.
The “PDN” power-down indicator signal is available
to the PLD input bus to use in any PLD equations
if desired. The user may want to send this
signal as a PLD output to an external device to indicate
the PSD Module is in power-down mode.
PSDsoft Express automatically includes the
“PDN” signal in the DPLD chip select equations for
FSx, CSBOOTx, RS0, and CSIOP.
The following should be kept in mind when the
PSD Module is in power-down mode:
– 8032 address and data bus signals are
blocked from all memories and both PLDs.
– The PSD Module comes out of power-down
mode when: ALE starts pulsing again, or the
CSI input on pin PD2 transitions from logic ’1’
to logic '0,' or the PSD Module reset signal,
RST, transitions from logic ’0’ to logic '1.'
– Various signals can be blocked (prior to
power-down mode) from entering the PLDs by
using “blocking bits” in csiop PMMR registers.
– All memories enter standby mode, and the
state of the PLDs and I/O Ports are
unchanged (if no PLD inputs change). Table
121., page 194 shows the effects of powerdown
mode on I/O pins while in various
operating modes.
– The 8032 Ports 1,3, and 4 on the MCU Module
are not affected at all by power-down mode in
the PSD Module.
– Power-down standby current given in the AC
specifications for PSD Module assume there
are no transitions on any unblocked PLD
input, and there are no output pins driving any
loads.
The APD counter will count whenever Bit 1 of
csiop PMMR0 register is set to logic '1,' and when
the ALE signal is steady at either logic ’1’ or logic
’0’ (not transitioning). Figure 79., page 191 shows
the flow leading up to power-down mode. The only
action required in PSDsoft Express to enable APD
mode is to select the pin function “Common Clock
Input, CLKIN” before programming with JTAG.uPSD33xx
190/231
Forced Power Down (FDP). An alternative to
APD is FPD. The resulting power-savings is the
same, but the PDN signal in Figure 78., page 191
is set and Power-Down mode is entered immediately
when firmware sets the FORCE_PD Bit to
logic '1' in the csiop Register PMMR3 (Bit 1). FPD
will override APD counter activity when
FORCE_PD is set. No external clock source for
the APD counter is needed. The FORCE_PD Bit is
cleared only by a reset condition.
Caution must be used when implementing FPD
because code memory goes off-line as soon as
PSD Module Power-Down mode is entered, leaving
the MCU with no instruction stream to execute.
The MCU Module must put itself into Power-Down
mode after it puts the PSD Module into PowerDown
Mode. How can it do this if code memory
goes off-line? The answer is the Pre-Fetch Queue
(PFQ) in the MCU Module. By using the instruction
scheme shown in the 8051 assembly code example
in Table 120, the PFQ will be loaded with the
final instructions to command the MCU Module to
Power Down mode after the PDS Module goes to
Power-Down mode. In this case, even though the
code memory goes off-line in the PSD Module, the
last few MCU instruction are sourced from the
PFQ.

Figure 79. Power-Down Mode Flow Chart Chip Select Input (CSI). Pin PD2 of Port D can
optionally be configured in PSDsoft Express as the
PSD Module Chip Select Input, CSI, which is an
active-low logic input. By default, pin PD2 does not
have the CSI function.
When the CSI function is specified in PSDsoft Express,
the CSI signal is automatically included in
DPLD chip select equations for FSx, CSBOOTx,
RS0, and CSIOP. When the CSI pin is driven to
logic ’0’ from an external device, all of these memories
will be available for READ and WRITE operations.
When CSI is driven to logic '1,' none of
these memories are available for selection, regardless
of the address activity from the 8032, reducing
power consumption. The state of the PLD
and port I/O pins are not changed when CSI goes
to logic ’1’ (disabled).

PLD Non-Turbo Mode. The power consumption
and speed of the PLDs are controlled by the Turbo
Bit (Bit 3) in the csiop PMMR0 register. By setting
this bit to logic '1,' the Turbo mode is turned off and
both PLDs consume only stand-by current when
ALL PLD inputs have no transitions for an extended
time (65ns for 5V devices, 100ns for 3.3 V devices),
significantly reducing current consumption.
The PLDs will latch their outputs and go to standby,
drawing very little current. When Turbo mode
is off, PLD propagation delay time is increased as
shown in the AC specifications for the PSD Module.
Since this additional propagation delay also
effects the DPLD, the response time of the memories
on the PSD Module is also lengthened by that
same amount of time. If Turbo mode is off, the
user should add an additional wait state to the
8032 BUSCON SFR register if the 8032 clock frequency
is higher that a particular value. Please refer
to Table 36., page 64 in the MCU Module
section.
The default state of the Turbo Bit is logic '0,' meaning
Turbo mode is on by default (after power-up
and reset conditions) until it is turned off by the
8032 writing to PMMR0.
PLD Current Consumption. Figure
85., page 202 and Figure 86., page 202 (5V and
3.3V devices respectively) show the relationship
between PLD current consumption and the composite
frequency of all the transitions on PLD inputs,
indicating that a higher input frequency
results in higher current consumption.
Current consumption of the PLDs have a DC component
and an AC component. Both need to be
considered when calculating current consumption
for a specific PLD design. When Turbo mode is on,
there is a linear relationship between current and
frequency, and there is a substantial DC current
component consumed by the PSD Module when
there are no transitions on PLD inputs (composite
frequency is zero). The magnitude of this DC current
component is directly proportional to how
many product terms are used in the equations of
both PLDs. PSDsoft Express generates a “fitter”
report that specifies how many product terms were
used in a design out of a total of 186 available
product terms. Figure 85., page 202 and Figure
86., page 202 both give two examples, one with
100% of the 186 product terms used, and another
with 25% of the 186 product terms used.
Turbo Mode Current Consumption. To determine
the AC current component of the specific
PLD design with Turbo mode on, the user will have
to interpolate from the graph, given the number of
product terms specified in the fitter report, and the
estimated composite frequency of PLD input signal
transitions. For the DC component (y-axis
crossing), the user can calculate the number by
multiplying the number of product terms used
(from fitter report) times the DC current per product
term specified in the DC specifications for the
PSD Module. The total PLD current usage is the
sum of its AC and DC components.
Non-Turbo Mode Current Consumption. Notice
in Figure 85., page 202 and Figure
86., page 202 that when Turbo mode is off, the DC
current consumption is “zero” (just standby current)
when the composite frequency of PLD input
transitions is zero (no input transitions). Now moving
up the frequency axis to consider the AC current
component, current consumption remains
considerably less than Turbo mode until PLD input
transitions happen so rapidly that the PLDs do not
have time to latch their outputs and go to standby
between the transitions anymore. This is where
the lines converge on the graphs, and current consumption
becomes the same for PLD input transitions
at this frequency and higher regardless if
Turbo mode is on or off. To determine the current
consumption of the PLDs with Turbo mode off, extrapolate
the AC component from the graph based
on number of product terms and input frequency.
The only DC component in non-Turbo mode is the
PSD Module standby current.
The key to reducing PLD current consumption is to
reduce the composite frequency of transitions on
the PLD input bus, moving down the frequency
scale on the graphs. One way to do this is to carefully
select which signals are entering PLD inputs,
not selecting high frequency signals if they are not
used in PLD equations. Another way is to use PLD
“Blocking Bits” to block certain signals from entering
the PLD input bus.193/231
uPSD33xx
PLD Blocking Bits. Blocking specific signals
from entering the PLDs using bits of the csiop
PMMR registers can further reduce PLD AC current
consumption by lowering the effective composite
frequency of inputs to the PLDs.
Blocking 8032 Bus Control Signals. When the
8032 is active on the MCU Module, four bus control
signals (RD, WR, PSEN, and ALE) are constantly
transitioning to manage 8032 bus traffic.
Each time one of these signals has a transition
from logic ’1’ to '0,' or 0 to '1,' it will wake up the
PLDs if operating in non-Turbo mode, or when in
Turbo mode it will cause the affected PLD gates to
draw current. If equations in the DPLD or GPLD do
not use the signals RD, WR, PSEN, or ALE then
these signals can be blocked which will reduce the
AC current component substantially. These bus
control signals are rarely used in DPLD equations
because they are routed in silicon directly to the
memory arrays of the PSD Module, bypassing the
PLDs. For example, it is NOT necessary to qualify
a memory chip select signal with an MCU write
strobe, such as “fs0 = address range & !WR_”.
Only “fs0 = address range” is needed.
Each of the 8032 bus control signals may be
blocked individually by writing to Bits 2, 3, 4, and 5
of the PMMR2 register shown in Table
118., page 188. Blocking any of these four bus
control signals only prevents them from reaching
the PLDs, but they will always go to the memories
directly.
However, sometimes it is necessary to use these
8032 bus control signals in the GPLD when creating
interface signals to external I/O peripherals.
But it is still possible to save power by dynamically
unblocking the bus signals before reading/writing
the external device, then blocking the signals after
the communication is complete.
The user can also block an input signal coming
from pin PC7 to the PLD input bus if desired by
writing to Bit 6 of PMMR2.
Blocking Common Clock, CLKIN. The input
CLKIN (from pin PD1) can be blocked to reduce
current consumption. CLKIN is used as a common
clock input to all OMC flip-flips, it is a general input
to the PLD input bus, and it is used to clock the
APD counter. In PSDsoft Express, the function of
pin PD1 must be specified as “Common Clock Input,
CLKIN” before programming the device with
JTAG to get the CLKIN function.
Bit 4 of PMMR0 can be set to logic ’1’ to block
CLKIN from reaching the PLD input bus, but
CLKIN will still reach the APD counter.
Bit 5 of PMMR0 can be set to logic ’1’ to block
CLKIN from reaching the OMC flip-flops only, but
CLKIN is still available to the PLD input bus and
the APD counter.
See Table 117., page 188 for details.
SRAM Standby Mode (battery backup). The
SRAM on the PSD Module may optionally be
backed up by an external battery (or other DC
source) to make its contents non-volatile. This is
achieved by connecting a battery to pin PC2 on
Port C and selecting the “SRAM Standby” function
for pin PC2 within PSDsoft Express. Automatic
voltage supply cross-over circuitry is built into the
PSD Module to switch SRAM supply to battery as
soon as VDD drops below the voltage level of the
battery. SRAM contents are protected while battery
voltage is greater than 2.0V. Pin PC4 on Port
C can be used as an output to indicate that a battery
switch-over has occurred. This is configured
in PSDsoft Express by selecting the “Standby On
Indicator” option for pin PC4.
PSD Module Reset Conditions
The PSD Module receives a reset signal from the
MCU Module. This reset signal is referred to as the
“RST” input in PSD Module documentation, and it
is active-low when asserted. The character of the
RST signal generated from the MCU Module is described
in SUPERVISORY
FUNCTIONS, page 65.
Upon power-up, and while RST is asserted, the
PSD Module immediately loads its configuration
from non-volatile bits to configure the PLDs and
other items. PLD logic is operational and ready for
use well before RST is de-asserted. The state of
PLD outputs are determined by equations specified
in PSDsoft Express.
The Flash memories are reset to Read Array
mode after any assertion of RST (even if a program
or erase operation is occurring).
Flash memory WRITE operations are automatically
prevented while VDD is ramping up until it rises
above the VLKO voltage threshold at which time
Flash memory WRITE operations are allowed.
Once the uPSD33xx is up and running, any subsequent
reset operation is referred to as a warm reset,
until power is turned off again. Some PSD
Module functions are reset in different ways depending
if the reset condition was caused from a
power-up reset or a warm reset. Table
121., page 194 summarizes how PSD Module
functions are affected by power-up and warm resets,
as well as the affect of PSD Module powerdown
mode (from APD).
The I/O pins of PSD Module Ports A, B, C, and D
do not have weak internal pull-ups.uPSD33xx
194/231
In MCU I/O mode, Latched Address Out mode,
and Peripheral I/O mode, the pins of Ports A, B, C,
and D become standard CMOS inputs during a reset
condition. If no external devices are driving
these pins during reset, then these inputs may
float and draw excessive current. If low power consumption
is critical during reset, then these floating
inputs should be pulled up externally to VDD with a
weak (100KΩ minimum) resistor.
In PLD I/O mode, pins of Ports A, B, C, and D may
also float during reset if no external device is driving
them, and if there is no equation specified for
the DPLD or GPLD to make them an output. In this
case, a weak external pull-up resistor (100KΩ minimum)
should be used on floating pins to avoid excessive
current draw.
The pins on Ports 1, 3, and 4 of the 8032 MCU
module do have weak internal pull-ups and the inputs
will not float, so no external pull-ups are needed.

uPSD33xx
JTAG ISP and JTAG Debug. An IEEE 1149.1
serial JTAG interface is used on uPSD33xx devices
for ISP (In-System Programming) of the PSD
module, and also for debugging firmware on the
MCU Module. IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan operations
are not supported in the uPSD33xx.
The main advantage of JTAG ISP is that a blank
uPSD33xx device may be soldered to a circuit
board and programmed with no involvement of the
8032, meaning that no 8032 firmware needs to be
present for ISP. This is good for manufacturing, for
field updates, and for easy code development in
the lab. JTAG-based programmers and debuggers
for uPSD33xx are available from STMicroelectronics
and 3rd party vendors.
ISP is different than IAP (In-Application Programming).
IAP involves the 8032 to program Flash
memory over any interface supported by the 8032
(e.g., UART, SPI, I2C), which is good for remote
updates over a communication channel.
uPSD33xx devices support both ISP and IAP. The
entire PSD Module (Flash memory and PLD) may
be programmed with JTAG ISP, but only the Flash
memories may be programmed using IAP.
JTAG Chaining Inside the Package. JTAG protocol
allows serial “chaining” of more than one device
in a JTAG chain. The uPSD33xx is
assembled with a stacked die process combining
the PSD Module (one die) and the MCU Module
(the other die). These two die are chained together
within the uPSD33xx package. The standard
JTAG interface has four basic signals:
■ TDI - Serial data into device
■ TDO - Serial data out of device
■ TCK - Common clock
■ TMS - Mode Selection
Every device that supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG
communication contains a Test Access Port (TAP)
controller, which is a small state machine to manage
JTAG protocol and serial streams of commands
and data. Both the PSD Module and the
MCU Module each contain a TAP controller.
Figure 80 illustrates how these die are chained
within a package. JTAG programming/test equipment
will connect externally to the four IEEE
1149.1 JTAG pins on Port C. The TDI pin on the
uPSD33xx package goes directly to the PSD Module
first, then exits the PSD Module through TDO.
TDO of the PSD Module is connected to TDI of the
MCU Module. The serial path is completed when
TDO of the MCU Module exits the uPSD33xx
package through the TDO pin on Port C. The
JTAG signals TCK and TMS are common to both
modules as specified in IEEE 1149.1. When JTAG
devices are chained, typically one devices is in
BYPASS mode while another device is executing
a JTAG operation. For the uPSD33xx, the PSD
Module is in BYPASS mode while debugging the
MCU Module, and the MCU Module is in BYPASS
mode while performing ISP on the PSD Module.
The RESET_IN input pin on the uPSD33xx package
goes to the MCU Module, and this module will
generate the RST reset signal for the PSD Module.
These reset signals are totally independent of
the JTAG TAP controllers, meaning that the JTAG
channel is operational when the modules are held
in reset. It is required to assert RESET_IN during
ISP. STMicroelectronics and 3rd party JTAG ISP
tools will automatically assert a reset signal during
ISP. However, this reset signal must be connected
to RESET_IN as shown in examples in Figure Figure
81., page 196 and Figure 82., page 198.

In-System Programming. The ISP function can
use two different configurations of the JTAG interface:
■ 4-pin JTAG: TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS
■ 6-pin JTAG: Signals above plus TSTAT,
TERR
At power-up, the four basic JTAG signals are all inputs,
waiting for a command to appear on the
JTAG bus from programming or test equipment.
When the enabling command is received, TDO becomes
an output and the JTAG channel is fully
functional. The same command that enables the
JTAG channel may optionally enable the two additional
signals, TSTAT and TERR.
4-pin JTAG ISP (default). The four basic JTAG
pins on Port C are enabled for JTAG operation at
all times. These pins may not be used for other I/
O functions. There is no action needed in PSDsoft
Express to configure a device to use 4-pin JTAG,
as this is the default condition. No 8032 firmware
is needed to use 4-pin ISP because all ISP functions
are controlled from the external JTAG program/test
equipment. Figure 81 shows
recommended connections on a circuit board to a
JTAG program/test tool using 4-pin JTAG. It is required
to connect the RST output signal from the
JTAG program/test equipment to the RESET_IN
input on the uPSD33xx. The RST signal is driven
by the equipment with an Open Drain driver, allowing
other sources (like a push button) to drive
RESET_IN without conflict.
Note: The recommended pull-up resistors and decoupling
capacitor are illustrated in Figure 81.

6-pin JTAG ISP (optional). The optional signals
TSTAT and TERR are programming status flags
that can reduce programming time by as much as
30% compared to 4-pin JTAG because this status
information does not have to be scanned out of the
device serially. TSTAT and TERR must be used
as a pair for 6-pin JTAG operation.
– TSTAT (pin PC3) indicates when
programming of a single Flash location is
complete. Logic 1 = Ready, Logic 0 = busy.
– TERR (pin PC4) indicates if there was a Flash
programming error. Logic 1 = no error,
Logic 0 = error.
The pin functions for PC3 and PC4 must be selected
as “Dedicated JTAG - TSTAT” and “Dedicated
JTAG - TERR” in PSDsoft Express to enable 6-pin
JTAG ISP.
No 8032 firmware is needed to use 6-pin ISP because
all ISP functions are controlled from the external
JTAG program/test equipment.
TSTAT and TERR are functional only when JTAG
ISP operations are occurring, which means they
are non-functional during JTAG debugging of the
8032 on the MCU Module.
Programming times vary depending on the number
of locations to be programmed and the JTAG
programming equipment, but typical JTAG ISP
programming times are 10 to 25 seconds using 6-
pin JTAG. The signals TSTAT and TERR are not
included in the IEEE 1149.1 specification.
Figure 82., page 198 shows recommended connections
on a circuit board to a JTAG program/test
tool using 6-pin JTAG. It is required to connect the
RST output signal from the JTAG program/test
equipment to the RESET_IN input on the
uPSD33xx. The RST signal is driven by the equipment
with an Open Drain driver, allowing other
sources (like a push button) to drive RESET_IN
without conflict.
Note: The recommended pull-up resistors and decoupling
capacitor are illustrated in Figure 82.uPSD33xx

Figure 82. Recommended 6-pin JTAG Connections
Note: 1. For 5V uPSD33xx devices, pull-up resistors and VCC pin on the JTAG connector should be connected to 5V system VDD.
2. For 3.3V uPSD33xx devices, pull-up resistors and VCC pin on the JTAG connector should be connected to 3.3V system VCC.
3. This signal is driven by an Open-Drain output in the JTAG equipment, allowing more than one source to activate RESET_IN.

Recommended JTAG Connector. There is no
industry standard JTAG connector. STMicroelectronics
recommends a specific JTAG connector
and pinout for uPSD3xxx so programming and debug
equipment will easily connect to the circuit
board. The user does not have to use this connector
if there is a different connection scheme.
The recommended connector scheme can accept
a standard 14-pin ribbon cable connector (2 rows
of 7 pins on 0.1” centers, 0.025” square posts,
standard keying) as shown in Figure 83. See the
STMicroelectronics “FlashLINK, FL-101 User
Manual” for more information.
Figure 83. Recommended JTAG Connector
Chaining uPSD33xx Devices. It is possible to
chain a uPSD33xx device with other uPSD33xx
devices on a circuit board, and also chain with
IEEE 1149.1 compliant devices from other manufacturers.
Figure 84., page 200 shows a chaining
example. The TDO of one device connects to the
TDI of the next device, and so on. Only one device
is performing JTAG operations at any given time
while the other two devices are in BYPASS mode.
Configuration for JTAG chaining can be made in
PSDsoft Express by choosing “More than one device”
when prompted about chaining devices. Notice
in Figure 84., page 200 that the uPSD33xx
devices are chained externally, but also be aware
that the two die within each uPSD33xx device are
chained internally. This internal chaining of die is
transparent to the user and is taken care of by PSDsoft
Express and 3rd party JTAG tool software.
The example in Figure 84., page 200 also shows
how to use 6-pin JTAG when chaining devices.
The signals TSTAT and TERR are configured as
open-drain type signals from PSDsoft Express.
This facilitates a wired-OR connection of TSTAT
signals from multiple uPSD33xx devices and also
a wired-OR connection of TERR signals from
those same multiple devices. PSDsoft Express
puts TSTAT and TERR signals into open-drain
mode by default, requiring external pull-up resistors.
Click on 'Properties' in the JTAG-ISP window
of PSDsoft Express to change to standard CMOS
push-pull outputs if desired, but wired-OR logic is
not possible in CMOS output mode.

Debugging the 8032 MCU Module. The 8032
on the MCU module may be debugged in-circuit
using the same four basic JTAG signals as used
for JTAG ISP (TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS). The signals
TSTAT and TERR are not needed for debugging,
and they will not create a problem if they exist on
the circuit board while debugging. The same connector
specified in Figure 83., page 199 can be
used for ISP or for 8032 debugging. There are 3rd
party suppliers of uPSD33xx JTAG debugging
equipment (check www.st.com/psm). These are
small pods which connect to a PC (or notebook
computer) using a USB interface, and they are
driven by an 8032 Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) running on the PC.
Standard debugging features are provided
through this JTAG interface such as single-step,
breakpoints, trace, memory dump and fill, and others.
There is also a dedicated Debug pin (shown
in Figure 80., page 195) which can be configured
as an output to trigger external devices upon a
programmable internal event (e.g., breakpoint
match), or the pin can be configured as an input so
an external device can initiate an internal debug
event (e.g., break execution). The Debug pin function
is configured by the 8032 IDE debug software
tool. See DEBUG UNIT, page 39 for more details.
The Debug signal should always be pulled up externally
with a weak pull-up (100K minimum) to
VCC even if nothing is connected to it, as shown in
Figure 81., page 196 and Figure 82., page 198.
JTAG Security Setting. A programmable security
bit in the PSD Module protects its contents from
unauthorized viewing and copying. The security
bit is set by clicking on the “Additional PSD Settings”
box in the main flow diagram of PSDsoft Express,
then choosing to set the security bit. Once
a file with this setting is programmed into a
uPSD33xx using JTAG ISP, any further attempts
to communicate with the uPSD33xx using JTAG
will be limited. Once secured, the only JTAG operation
allowed is a full-chip erase. No reading or
modifying Flash memory or PLD logic is allowed.
Debugging operations to the MCU Module are
also not allowed. The only way to defeat the security
bit is to perform a JTAG ISP full-chip erase operation,
after which the device is blank and may be
used again. The 8032 on the MCU Module will always
have access to PSM Module memory contents
through the 8-bit 8032 data bus connecting
the two die, even while the security bit is set.
Initial Delivery State. When delivered from STMicroelectronics,
uPSD33xx devices are erased,
meaning all Flash memory and PLD configuration
bits are logic '1.' Firmware and PLD logic configuration
must be programmed at least the first time
using JTAG ISP. Subsequent programming of
Flash memory may be performed using JTAG ISP,
JTAG debugging, or the 8032 may run firmware to
program Flash memory (IAP).uPSD33xx

AC/DC PARAMETERS
These tables describe the AD and DC parameters
of the uPSD33xx Devices:
■ DC Electrical Specification
■ AC Timing Specification
■ PLD Timing

– Synchronous Clock Mode
– Asynchronous Clock Mode
– Input Macrocell Timing
■ MCU Module Timing

– WRITE Timing
– Power-down and RESET Timing
The following are issues concerning the parameters
presented:
– In the DC specification the supply current is
given for different modes of operation.
– The AC power component gives the PLD,
Flash memory, and SRAM mA/MHz
specification. Figure 85 and Figure 86 show
the PLD mA/MHz as a function of the number
of Product Terms (PT) used.
– In the PLD timing parameters, add the
required delay when Turbo Bit is '0.'

The automatical precharge without row precharge command is meant by “Auto”.
Auto / self refresh can be issued only at both banks precharge state.
4. BA: Bank select address.
If “Low”: at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.
If “High”: at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.
If A10/AP is “High” at row precharge, BA ignored and both banks are selected.
5. During burst read or write with auto precharge, new read/write command can not be issued.
Another bank read /write command can be issued after the end of burst.
New row active of the associated bank can be issued at tRP after the end of burst.
6. Burst stop command is valid at every burst length.

*Note:1.BRSW modes is enabled by setting A9 “High” at MRS(Mode Register Set).
At the BRSW Mode, the burst length at write is fixed to “1” regardless of programmed burst length.
2.When BRSW write command with auto precharge is executed, keep it in mind that tRAS should not be violated.
Auto precharge is executed at the next cycle of burst-end, so in the case of BRSW write command, the precharge

Product performance and efficiency improvements are noted as comparisons between DDR3 and DDR4 memory technologies at their introduction. When it was introduced, DDR3-1066 operated at 1.5V and had an
estimated component density of 8Gb, compared to DDR4-2133, which will operate at 1.2V and have an estimated component density of 16Gb. When voltage reductions and all other energy-saving DDR4 features are
factored in, DDR4 modules are projected to consume up to 40% less power.

PIC18F1220/1320
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information for
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers
– namely, high computational performance at an
economical price – with the addition of high endurance
Enhanced Flash program memory. On top of these features,
the PIC18F1220/1320 family introduces design
enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical
choice for many high-performance, power sensitive
applications.
1.1 New Core Features
1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F1220/1320 family incorporate
a range of features that can significantly reduce
power consumption during operation. Key items include:
• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled, but the peripherals are
still active. In these states, power consumption can
be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operation requirements.
• On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power managed
modes are invoked by user code during operation,
allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas
into their application’s software design.
• Lower Consumption in Key Modules: The power
requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog
Timer have been reduced by up to 80%, with typical
values of 1.1 and 2.1 μA, respectively.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F1220/1320 family offer
nine different oscillator options, allowing users a wide
range of choices in developing application hardware.
These include:
• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output), or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O).
• Two External RC Oscillator modes, with the same
pin options as the External Clock modes.
• An internal oscillator block, which provides an
8 MHz clock (±2% accuracy) and an INTRC source
(approximately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and
VDD), as well as a range of 6 user-selectable clock
frequencies (from 125 kHz to 4 MHz) for a total of
8 clock frequencies.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscillator block provides a stable reference source that
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a reference
signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock failure
occurs, the controller is switched to the internal
oscillator block, allowing for continued low-speed
operation, or a safe application shutdown.
• Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the internal
oscillator to serve as the clock source from Poweron
Reset, or wake-up from Sleep mode, until the
primary clock source is available. This allows for
code execution during what would otherwise be the
clock start-up interval and can even allow an application
to perform routine background activities and
return to Sleep without returning to full power
operation.
1.2 Other Special Features
• Memory Endurance: The Enhanced Flash cells for
both program memory and data EEPROM are rated
to last for many thousands of erase/write cycles –
up to 100,000 for program memory and 1,000,000
for EEPROM. Data retention without refresh is
conservatively estimated to be greater than
40 years.
• Self-programmability: These devices can write to
their own program memory spaces under internal
software control. By using a bootloader routine
located in the protected Boot Block at the top of program
memory, it becomes possible to create an
application that can update itself in the field.
• Enhanced CCP module: In PWM mode, this
module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for
controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers. Other
features include auto-shutdown, for disabling PWM
outputs on interrupt or other select conditions and
auto-restart, to reactivate outputs once the condition
has cleared.
• Enhanced USART: This serial communication
module features automatic wake-up on Start bit and
automatic baud rate detection and supports RS-232,
RS-485 and LIN 1.2 protocols, making it ideally
suited for use in Local Interconnect Network (LIN)
bus applications.
• 10-bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period and
thus, reduce code overhead.
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced
version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler, allowing a
time-out range from 4 ms to over 2 minutes that is
stable across operating voltage and temperature.

2.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic
Resonators
In XT, LP, HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or
ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows
the pin connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut
crystal.

2.3 HSPLL
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
crystal oscillator circuit, or to clock the device up to its
highest rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This
may be useful for customers who are concerned with
EMI due to high-frequency crystals.
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS mode oscillator
for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multiplies the
oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal
clock frequency up to 40 MHz.
The PLL is enabled only when the oscillator configuration
bits are programmed for HSPLL mode. If
programmed for any other mode, the PLL is not
enabled.

Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of oscillator, but also increases the start-up

2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when
using certain ceramic resonators at any
voltage, it may be necessary to use the
HS mode or switch to a crystal oscillator.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external
components.
4: RS may be required to avoid overdriving
crystals with low drive level specification.
5: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.

2.4 External Clock Input
The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. There is
no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on
Reset, or after an exit from Sleep mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes, or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.
FIGURE 2-4: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
OPERATION
(EC CONFIGURATION)
The ECIO Oscillator mode functions like the EC mode,
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general
purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-5 shows the pin connections
for the ECIO Oscillator mode.
FIGURE 2-5: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
OPERATION
(ECIO CONFIGURATION)
2.5 RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. In addition to this,
the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to
normal manufacturing variation. Furthermore, the difference
in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency, especially
for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take
into account variation, due to tolerance of external
R and C components used. Figure 2-6 shows how the
R/C combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes, or to synchronize other
logic.
FIGURE 2-6: RC OSCILLATOR MODE
The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-7) functions like
the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an
additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin
becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F1220/1320 devices include an internal
oscillator block, which generates two different clock
signals; either can be used as the system’s clock
source. This can eliminate the need for external
oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,
which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It
also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of
clock frequencies from 125 kHz to 4 MHz. The
INTOSC output is enabled when a system clock
frequency from 125 kHz to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a 31 kHz output. The INTRC
oscillator is enabled by selecting the internal oscillator
block as the system clock source, or when any of the
following are enabled:
• Power-up Timer
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Watchdog Timer
• Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 19.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (Register 2-2).
2.6.1 INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can
eliminate the need for up to two external oscillator pins,
which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct
configurations are available:
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and
output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and
output.
2.6.2 INTRC OUTPUT FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz
(see Table 22-6). This changes the frequency of the
INTRC source from its nominal 31.25 kHz. Peripherals
and features that depend on the INTRC source will be
affected by this shift in frequency.
Once set during factory calibration, the INTRC
frequency will remain within ±2% as temperature and
VDD change across their full specified operating
ranges.
2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at
the factory, but can be adjusted in the user’s application.
This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register
(Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant
throughout the tuning range.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new
frequency. The INTRC clock will reach the new
frequency within 8 clock cycles (approximately
8 * 32 μs = 256 μs). The INTOSC clock will stabilize
within 1 ms. Code execution continues during this shift.
There is no indication that the shift has occurred.
Operation of features that depend on the INTRC clock
source frequency, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor and peripherals, will also be affected by the
change in frequency.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 15

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F1220/1320
devices include a feature that allows the system clock
source to be switched from the main oscillator to an
alternate low-frequency clock source. PIC18F1220/
1320 devices offer two alternate clock sources. When
enabled, these give additional options for switching to
the various power managed operating modes.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the
External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block.
The particular mode is defined on POR by the contents
of Configuration Register 1H. The details of these
modes are covered earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillators are those external sources
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power managed mode.
PIC18F1220/1320 devices offer only the Timer1
oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all
power managed modes, is often the time base for
functions such as a real-time clock.
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
between the RB6/T1OSO and RB7/T1OSI pins. Like
the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading capacitors are
also connected from each pin to ground. These pins
are also used during ICSP operations.
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal
oscillator block is available as a power managed
mode clock source. The INTRC source is also used as
the clock source for several special features, such as
the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The clock sources for the PIC18F1220/1320 devices
are shown in Figure 2-8. See Section 12.0 “Timer1
Module” for further details of the Timer1 oscillator. See
Section 19.1 “Configuration Bits” for configuration
register details.

2.7.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several
aspects of the system clock’s operation, both in full
power operation and in power managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the
clock source that is used when the device is operating in
power managed modes. The available clock sources are
the primary clock (defined in Configuration Register 1H),
the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal
oscillator block. The clock selection has no effect until a
SLEEP instruction is executed and the device enters a
power managed mode of operation. The SCS bits are
cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select
the frequency output of the internal oscillator block that
is used to drive the system clock. The choices are the
INTRC source, the INTOSC source (8 MHz), or one of
the six frequencies derived from the INTOSC
postscaler (125 kHz to 4 MHz). If the internal oscillator
block is supplying the system clock, changing the
states of these bits will have an immediate change on
the internal oscillator’s output.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock
source is currently providing the system clock. The
OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer has
timed out and the primary clock is providing the system
clock in Primary Clock modes. The IOFS bit indicates
when the internal oscillator block has stabilized and is
providing the system clock in RC Clock modes or
during Two-Speed Start-ups. The T1RUN bit
(T1CON<6>) indicates when the Timer1 oscillator is
providing the system clock in Secondary Clock modes.
In power managed modes, only one of these three bits
will be set at any time. If none of these bits are set, the
INTRC is providing the system clock, or the internal
oscillator block has just started and is not yet stable.
The IDLEN bit controls the selective shutdown of the
controller’s CPU in power managed modes. The uses
of these bits are discussed in more detail in
Section 3.0 “Power Managed Modes”.
FIGURE 2-8: PIC18F1220/1320 CLOCK DIAGRAM
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control register
(T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator
is not enabled, then any attempt to select
a secondary clock source when
executing a SLEEP instruction will be
ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1 oscillator
be operating and stable before executing
the SLEEP instruction or a very
long delay may occur while the Timer1
oscillator starts.

2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
The PIC18F1220/1320 devices contain circuitry to
prevent clocking “glitches” when switching between
clock sources. A short pause in the system clock
occurs during the clock switch. The length of this pause
is between 8 and 9 clock periods of the new clock
source. This ensures that the new clock source is
stable and that its pulse width will not be less than the
shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power Managed Modes”.
2.8 Effects of Power Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the
system is switched to one of the power managed
modes, depending on the state of the IDLEN and
SCS1:SCS0 bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 3.0 “Power Managed Modes” for details.
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated primary
oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin, if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In Secondary Clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the system clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In Internal Oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the system clock
source. The INTRC output can be used directly to
provide the system clock and may be enabled to
support various special features, regardless of the
power managed mode (see Section 19.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)” through Section 19.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be used
directly to clock the system, or may be divided down
first. The INTOSC output is disabled if the system clock
is provided directly from the INTRC output.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest
current consumption of the device (only leakage
currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a realtime
clock. Other features may be operating that do not
require a system clock source (i.e., INTn pins, A/D
conversions and others).
2.9 Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external Reset circuitry is required for most applications.
The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device power supply is stable under normal
circumstances and the primary clock is operating
and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Sections 4.1 through 4.5.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 22-8) if enabled in Configuration Register 2L.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The
OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the
device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms following
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the
incoming clock frequency.
There is a delay of 5 to 10 μs following POR while the
controller becomes ready to execute instructions. This
delay runs concurrently with any other delays. This
may be the only delay that occurs when any of the EC,
RC or INTIO modes are used as the primary clock
source.

PIC18F1220/1320
3.0 POWER MANAGED MODES
The PIC18F1220/1320 devices offer a total of six operating
modes for more efficient power management
(see Table 3-1). These provide a variety of options for
selective power conservation in applications where
resources may be limited (i.e., battery powered
devices).
There are three categories of power managed modes:
• Sleep mode
• Idle modes
• Run modes
These categories define which portions of the device
are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The Run and
Idle modes may use any of the three available clock
sources (primary, secondary or INTOSC multiplexer);
the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The clock switching feature offered in other PIC18
devices (i.e., using the Timer1 oscillator in place of the
primary oscillator) and the Sleep mode offered by all
PIC® devices (where all system clocks are stopped) are
both offered in the PIC18F1220/1320 devices
(SEC_RUN and Sleep modes, respectively). However,
additional power managed modes are available that
allow the user greater flexibility in determining what
portions of the device are operating. The power managed
modes are event driven; that is, some specific
event must occur for the device to enter or (more
particularly) exit these operating modes.
For PIC18F1220/1320 devices, the power managed
modes are invoked by using the existing SLEEP
instruction. All modes exit to PRI_RUN mode when triggered
by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out
(PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution
mode; the CPU and peripherals are clocked by the primary
oscillator source). In addition, power managed
Run modes may also exit to Sleep mode, or their
corresponding Idle mode.
3.1 Selecting Power Managed Modes
Selecting a power managed mode requires deciding if
the CPU is to be clocked or not and selecting a clock
source. The IDLEN bit controls CPU clocking, while the
SCS1:SCS0 bits select a clock source. The individual
modes, bit settings, clock sources and affected
modules are summarized in Table 3-1.
3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES
The clock source is selected by setting the SCS bits of
the OSCCON register (Register 2-2). Three clock
sources are available for use in power managed Idle
modes: the primary clock (as configured in Configuration
Register 1H), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator)
and the internal oscillator block. The secondary and
internal oscillator block sources are available for the
power managed modes (PRI_RUN mode is the normal
full power execution mode; the CPU and peripherals are
clocked by the primary oscillator source).

3.1.2 ENTERING POWER MANAGED
MODES
In general, entry, exit and switching between power
managed clock sources requires clock source
switching. In each case, the sequence of events is the
same.
Any change in the power managed mode begins with
loading the OSCCON register and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The SCS1:SCS0 bits select one of three
power managed clock sources; the primary clock (as
defined in Configuration Register 1H), the secondary
clock (the Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator
block (used in RC modes). Modifying the SCS bits will
have no effect until a SLEEP instruction is executed.
Entry to the power managed mode is triggered by the
execution of a SLEEP instruction.
Figure 3-5 shows how the system is clocked while
switching from the primary clock to the Timer1 oscillator.
When the SLEEP instruction is executed, clocks to
the device are stopped at the beginning of the next
instruction cycle. Eight clock cycles from the new clock
source are counted to synchronize with the new clock
source. After eight clock pulses from the new clock
source are counted, clocks from the new clock source
resume clocking the system. The actual length of the
pause is between eight and nine clock periods from the
new clock source. This ensures that the new clock
source is stable and that its pulse width will not be less
than the shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Three bits indicate the current clock source: OSTS and
IOFS in the OSCCON register and T1RUN in the
T1CON register. Only one of these bits will be set while
in a power managed mode. When the OSTS bit is set,
the primary clock is providing the system clock. When
the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is providing a
stable 8 MHz clock source and is providing the system
clock. When the T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator
is providing the system clock. If none of these bits are
set, then either the INTRC clock source is clocking the
system, or the INTOSC source is not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary
clock source in Configuration Register 1H, then
both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set when in
PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the
primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a stable
8 MHz output. Entering an RC power managed mode
(same frequency) would clear the OSTS bit.
3.1.3 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the settings of the
IDLEN and SCS bits at the time the instruction is executed.
If another SLEEP instruction is executed, the
device will enter the power managed mode specified by
these same bits at that time. If the bits have changed,
the device will enter the new power managed mode
specified by the new bit settings.
3.1.4 COMPARISONS BETWEEN RUN
AND IDLE MODES
Clock source selection for the Run modes is identical to
the corresponding Idle modes. When a SLEEP instruction
is executed, the SCS bits in the OSCCON register
are used to switch to a different clock source. As a
result, if there is a change of clock source at the time a
SLEEP instruction is executed, a clock switch will occur.
In Idle modes, the CPU is not clocked and is not running.
In Run modes, the CPU is clocked and executing
code. This difference modifies the operation of the
WDT when it times out. In Idle modes, a WDT time-out
results in a wake from power managed modes. In Run
modes, a WDT time-out results in a WDT Reset (see
Table 3-2).
During a wake-up from an Idle mode, the CPU starts
executing code by entering the corresponding Run
mode until the primary clock becomes ready. When the
primary clock becomes ready, the clock source is automatically
switched to the primary clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are unchanged during and after the wake-up.
Figure 3-2 shows how the system is clocked during the
clock source switch. The example assumes the device
was in SEC_IDLE or SEC_RUN mode when a wake is
triggered (the primary clock was configured in HSPLL
mode).
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode; executing a SLEEP instruction is
simply a trigger to place the controller into
a power managed mode selected by the
OSCCON register, one of which is Sleep
mode.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 21

The power managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F1220/
1320 devices is identical to that offered in all other PIC
microcontrollers. It is entered by clearing the IDLEN
and SCS1:SCS0 bits (this is the Reset state) and
executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the
primary oscillator and the OSTS bit is cleared (see
Figure 3-1).
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset or WDT time-out), the system will not be clocked
until the primary clock source becomes ready (see
Figure 3-2), or it will be clocked from the internal
oscillator block if either the Two-Speed Start-up or the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled (see Section 19.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). In either case, the
OSTS bit is set when the primary clock is providing the
system clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up.
3.3 Idle Modes
The IDLEN bit allows the microcontroller’s CPU to be
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Clearing IDLEN allows the CPU to be clocked.
Setting IDLEN disables clocks to the CPU, effectively
stopping program execution (see Register 2-2). The
peripherals continue to be clocked regardless of the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
There is one exception to how the IDLEN bit functions.
When all the low-power OSCCON bits are cleared
(IDLEN:SCS1:SCS0 = 000), the device enters Sleep
mode upon the execution of the SLEEP instruction. This
is both the Reset state of the OSCCON register and the
setting that selects Sleep mode. This maintains
compatibility with other PIC devices that do not offer
power managed modes.
If the Idle Enable bit, IDLEN (OSCCON<7>), is set to a
‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is executed, the
peripherals will be clocked from the clock source
selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits; however, the CPU
will not be clocked. Since the CPU is not executing
instructions, the only exits from any of the Idle modes
are by interrupt, WDT time-out or a Reset.
When a wake event occurs, CPU execution is delayed
approximately 10 μs while it becomes ready to execute
code. When the CPU begins executing code, it is
clocked by the same clock source as was selected in
the power managed mode (i.e., when waking from
RC_IDLE mode, the internal oscillator block will clock
the CPU and peripherals until the primary clock source
becomes ready – this is essentially RC_RUN mode).
This continues until the primary clock source becomes
ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, the
OSTS bit is set and the system clock source is
switched to the primary clock (see Figure 3-4). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT
time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to full power
operation.

3.3.1 PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three Low-Power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary system
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to “warm up” or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit,
clearing the SCS bits and executing a SLEEP instruction.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals
continue to be clocked from the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H. The OSTS bit
remains set in PRI_IDLE mode (see Figure 3-3).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from
the primary clock source. A delay of approximately
10 μs is required between the wake event and code
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become ready to execute instructions. After the wakeup,
the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-4).

3.3.2 SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered by setting the Idle bit,
modifying bits, SCS1:SCS0 = 01 and executing a
SLEEP instruction. When the clock source is switched
(see Figure 3-5) to the Timer1 oscillator, the primary
oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the
T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After a 10 μs
delay following the wake event, the CPU begins executing
code, being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The
microcontroller operates in SEC_RUN mode until the
primary clock becomes ready. When the primary clock
becomes ready, a clock switchback to the primary clock
occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is complete,
the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and
the primary clock is providing the system clock. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
The Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
FIGURE 3-5: TIMING TRANSITION FOR ENTRY TO SEC_IDLE MODE
FIGURE 3-6: TIMING TRANSITION FOR WAKE FROM SEC_RUN MODE (HSPLL)
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started; in such situations,
initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

3.3.3 RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the peripherals
continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows
for controllable power conservation during Idle periods.
This mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit, setting
SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored) and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF
bits before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer
(see Figure 3-7), the primary oscillator is shut down
and the OSTS bit is cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to a non-zero value (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes
set after the INTOSC output becomes stable, in about
1 ms. Clocks to the peripherals continue while the
INTOSC source stabilizes. If the IRCF bits were
previously at a non-zero value before the SLEEP
instruction was executed and the INTOSC source was
already stable, the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF
bits are all clear, the INTOSC output is not enabled and
the IOFS bit will remain clear; there will be no indication
of the current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a 10 μs
delay following the wake event, the CPU begins executing
code, being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer.
The microcontroller operates in RC_RUN mode until
the primary clock becomes ready. When the primary
clock becomes ready, a clock switchback to the primary
clock occurs (see Figure 3-8). When the clock switch is
complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set
and the primary clock is providing the system clock.
The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wakeup.
The INTRC source will continue to run if either the
WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.4 Run Modes
If the IDLEN bit is clear when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the CPU and peripherals are both clocked
from the source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits.
While these operating modes may not afford the power
conservation of Idle or Sleep modes, they do allow the
device to continue executing instructions by using a
lower frequency clock source. RC_RUN mode also
offers the possibility of executing code at a frequency
greater than the primary clock.
Wake-up from a power managed Run mode can be
triggered by an interrupt, or any Reset, to return to full
power operation. As the CPU is executing code in Run
modes, several additional exits from Run modes are
possible. They include exit to Sleep mode, exit to a corresponding
Idle mode and exit by executing a RESET
instruction. While the device is in any of the power
managed Run modes, a WDT time-out will result in a
WDT Reset.
3.4.1 PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution
mode. If the SLEEP instruction is never executed, the
microcontroller operates in this mode (a SLEEP instruction
is executed to enter all other power managed
modes). All other power managed modes exit to
PRI_RUN mode when an interrupt or WDT time-out
occur.
There is no entry to PRI_RUN mode. The OSTS bit is
set. The IOFS bit may be set if the internal oscillator
block is the primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1
“Oscillator Control Register”).
3.4.2 SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the
option of lower power consumption while still using a
high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit,
setting SCS1:SCS0 = 01 and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The system clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-9), the primary oscillator
is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and
the OSTS bit is cleared.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals and CPU
continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator while
the primary clock is started. When the primary clock
becomes ready, a clock switchback to the primary clock
occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is complete,
the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and
the primary clock is providing the system clock. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
The Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
Firmware can force an exit from SEC_RUN mode. By
clearing the T1OSCEN bit (T1CON<3>), an exit from
SEC_RUN back to normal full power operation is triggered.
The Timer1 oscillator will continue to run and
provide the system clock, even though the T1OSCEN
bit is cleared. The primary clock is started. When the
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switchback to the
primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock
switch is complete, the Timer1 oscillator is disabled, the
T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary
clock is providing the system clock. The IDLEN
and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
FIGURE 3-9: TIMING TRANSITION FOR ENTRY TO SEC_RUN MODE
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored and entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, system clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started; in such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

3.4.3 RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer and the primary clock is shut
down. When using the INTRC source, this mode provides
the best power conservation of all the Run
modes, while still executing code. It works well for user
applications which are not highly timing sensitive, or do
not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator
block (either of the INTIO1 or INTIO2 oscillators), there
are no distinguishable differences between PRI_RUN
and RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a
clock switch delay will occur during entry to and exit
from RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if the primary clock
source is the internal oscillator block, the use of
RC_RUN mode is not recommended.
This mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit, setting
SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored) and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The IRCF bits may select the clock
frequency before the SLEEP instruction is executed.
When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC
multiplexer (see Figure 3-10), the primary oscillator is
shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to immediately
change the system clock speed. Executing a
SLEEP instruction is not required to select a new clock
frequency from the INTOSC multiplexer.
If the IRCF bits are all clear, the INTOSC output is not
enabled and the IOFS bit will remain clear; there will be
no indication of the current clock source. The INTRC
source is providing the system clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes
set after the INTOSC output becomes stable. Clocks to
the system continue while the INTOSC source
stabilizes, in approximately 1 ms.
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value
before the SLEEP instruction was executed and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will
remain set.
When a wake event occurs, the system continues to be
clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer while the primary
clock is started. When the primary clock becomes
ready, a clock switch to the primary clock occurs (see
Figure 3-8). When the clock switch is complete, the
IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary
clock is providing the system clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up. The INTRC
source will continue to run if either the WDT or the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
FIGURE 3-10: TIMING TRANSITION TO RC_RUN MODE
Note: Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.

3.4.4 EXIT TO IDLE MODE
An exit from a power managed Run mode to its
corresponding Idle mode is executed by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. The CPU
is halted at the beginning of the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction. There are no changes to any of the
clock source status bits (OSTS, IOFS or T1RUN).
While the CPU is halted, the peripherals continue to be
clocked from the previously selected clock source.
3.4.5 EXIT TO SLEEP MODE
An exit from a power managed Run mode to Sleep
mode is executed by clearing the IDLEN and
SCS1:SCS0 bits and executing a SLEEP instruction.
The code is no different than the method used to invoke
Sleep mode from the normal operating (full power)
mode.
The primary clock and internal oscillator block are
disabled. The INTRC will continue to operate if the
WDT is enabled. The Timer1 oscillator will continue to
run, if enabled in the T1CON register (Register 12-1).
All clock source status bits are cleared (OSTS, IOFS
and T1RUN).
3.5 Wake from Power Managed Modes
An exit from any of the power managed modes is triggered
by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out. This
section discusses the triggers that cause exits from
power managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power managed
modes (see Sections 3.2 through 3.4).
Device behavior during Low-Power mode exits is
summarized in Table 3-3.
3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit a power managed mode and resume full
power operation. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in
one of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence
is initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is
set. On all exits from Low-Power mode by interrupt,
code execution branches to the interrupt vector if the
GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code
execution continues or resumes without branching
(see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).
Note: If application code is timing sensitive, it
should wait for the OSTS bit to become set
before continuing. Use the interval during
the low-power exit sequence (before
OSTS is set) to perform timing insensitive
“housekeeping” tasks.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 29

DS39605F-page 30 © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.5.2 EXIT BY RESET
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock (defined in
Configuration Register 1H) becomes ready. At that
time, the OSTS bit is set and the device begins
executing code.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 19.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 19.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) are enabled in Configuration Register 1H,
the device may begin execution as soon as the Reset
source has cleared. Execution is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer driven by the internal oscillator
block. Since the OSCCON register is cleared following
all Resets, the INTRC clock source is selected. A
higher speed clock may be selected by modifying the
IRCF bits in the OSCCON register. Execution is
clocked by the internal oscillator block until either the
primary clock becomes ready, or a power managed
mode is entered before the primary clock becomes
ready; the primary clock is then shut down.
3.5.3 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions, depending
on which power managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in a wake from the
power managed mode (see Sections 3.2 through 3.4).
If the device is executing code (all Run modes), the
time-out will result in a WDT Reset (see Section 19.2
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by
executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the loss of a
currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the
OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the
system clock source.
3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. These are:
• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source
is not stopped; or
• the primary clock source is not any of LP, XT, HS
or HSPLL modes.
In these cases, the primary clock source either does
not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO
Oscillator modes).
However, a fixed delay (approximately 10 μs) following
the wake event is required when leaving Sleep and Idle
modes. This delay is required for the CPU to prepare
for execution. Instruction execution resumes on the first
clock cycle following this delay.
3.6 INTOSC Frequency Drift
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz (see Table 22-6). However,
this frequency may drift as VDD or temperature
changes, which can affect the controller operation in a
variety of ways.
It is possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by
modifying the value in the OSCTUNE register
(Register 2-1). This has the side effect that the INTRC
clock source frequency is also affected. However, the
features that use the INTRC source often do not require
an exact frequency. These features include the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor, the Watchdog Timer and the RC_RUN/
RC_IDLE modes when the INTRC clock source is
selected.
Being able to adjust the INTOSC requires knowing
when an adjustment is required, in which direction it
should be made and in some cases, how large a
change is needed. Three examples follow but other
techniques may be used.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 31
PIC18F1220/1320
3.6.1 EXAMPLE – EUSART
An adjustment may be indicated when the EUSART
begins to generate framing errors, or receives data with
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the system clock frequency is too high –
try decrementing the value in the OSCTUNE register to
reduce the system clock frequency. Errors in data may
suggest that the system clock speed is too low –
increment OSCTUNE.
3.6.2 EXAMPLE – TIMERS
This technique compares system clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Timer1 oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator
block is running too fast – decrement OSCTUNE.
3.6.3 EXAMPLE – CCP IN CAPTURE
MODE
A CCP module can use free running Timer1 (or
Timer3), clocked by the internal oscillator block and an
external event with a known period (i.e., AC power
frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use
later. When the second event causes a capture, the
time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the
second event. Since the period of the external event is
known, the time difference between events can be
calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the
calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running
too fast – decrement OSCTUNE. If the measured time
is much less than the calculated time, the internal
oscillator block is running too slow – increment
OSCTUNE.PIC18F1220/1320

4.0 RESET
The PIC18F1220/1320 devices differentiate between
various kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) MCLR Reset during normal operation
c) MCLR Reset during Sleep
d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during
execution)
e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)
f) RESET Instruction
g) Stack Full Reset
h) Stack Underflow Reset
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state”, depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. Status bits from the RCON register
(Register 4-1), RI, TO, PD, POR and BOR, are set or
cleared differently in different Reset situations, as
indicated in Table 4-2. These bits are used in software
to determine the nature of the Reset. See Table 4-3 for
a full description of the Reset states of all registers.

is shown in Figure 4-1.
The Enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR noise filter
in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
The MCLR input provided by the MCLR pin can be
disabled with the MCLRE bit in Configuration
Register 3H (CONFIG3H<7>).

4.1 Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected. To take advantage of the POR
circuitry, just tie the MCLR pin through a resistor (1k to
10 kΩ) to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components
usually needed to create a Power-on Reset
delay. A minimum rise rate for VDD is specified
(parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.

RESET CIRCUIT (FOR
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)
4.2 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F1220/1320 is
an 11-bit counter, which uses the INTRC source as the
clock input. This yields a count of 2048 x 32 μs = 65.6 ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip-to-chip due
to VDD, temperature and process variation. See DC
parameter 33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing configuration bit,
PWRTEN.
4.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit
from most low-power modes.
4.4 PLL Lock Time-out
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly
different from other oscillator modes. A portion of the
Power-up Timer is used to provide a fixed time-out that
is sufficient for the PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency.
This PLL lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms
and follows the Oscillator Start-up Time-out.
4.5 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A configuration bit, BOR, can disable (if clear/
programmed), or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset
circuitry. If VDD falls below VBOR (parameter D005) for
greater than TBOR (parameter 35), the brown-out situation
will reset the chip. A Reset may not occur if VDD
falls below VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will
remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.
If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be invoked after
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be initialized.
Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer
will execute the additional time delay. Enabling BOR
Reset does not automatically enable the PWRT.
4.6 Time-out Sequence
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
First, after the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out
is invoked (if enabled). Then, the OST is activated. The
total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration
and the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode
with the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and
Figure 4-7 depict time-out sequences on power-up.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bringing
MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device
operating in parallel.
Table 4-2 shows the Reset conditions for some Special
Function Registers, while Table 4-3 shows the Reset
conditions for all the registers.
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that
the voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 ≥ 1 kΩ will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from external capacitor C, in the event
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown due to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS).

5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three memory types in Enhanced MCU
devices. These memory types are:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
Data and program memory use separate busses,
which allows for concurrent access of these types.
Additional detailed information for Flash program memory
and data EEPROM is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory” and Section 7.0 “Data
EEPROM Memory”, respectively.
FIGURE 5-1: PROGRAM MEMORY MAP
AND STACK FOR
PIC18F1220
5.1 Program Memory Organization
A 21-bit program counter is capable of addressing the
2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location
between the physically implemented memory and the
2-Mbyte address will cause a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP
instruction).
The PIC18F1220 has 4 Kbytes of Flash memory and
can store up to 2,048 single-word instructions.
The PIC18F1320 has 8 Kbytes of Flash memory and
can store up to 4,096 single-word instructions.
The Reset vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt
vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory maps for the PIC18F1220 and
PIC18F1320 devices are shown in Figure 5-1 and
Figure 5-2, respectively.

5.2 Return Address Stack
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC
(Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a
CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt
is Acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack
on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction. PCLATU
and PCLATH are not affected by any of the RETURN or
CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit stack pointer, with the Stack Pointer initialized to
00000B after all Resets. There is no RAM associated
with Stack Pointer, 00000B. This is only a Reset value.
During a CALL type instruction, causing a push onto the
stack, the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the
RAM location pointed to by the Stack Pointer
(STKPTR) register is written with the contents of the PC
(already pointing to the instruction following the CALL).
During a RETURN type instruction, causing a pop from
the stack, the contents of the RAM location pointed to
by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC and then the
Stack Pointer is decremented.
The stack space is not part of either program or data
space. The Stack Pointer is readable and writable and
the address on the top of the stack is readable and
writable through the top-of-stack Special File
Registers. Data can also be pushed to or popped from
the stack using the top-of-stack SFRs. Status bits
indicate if the stack is full, has overflowed or
underflowed.
5.2.1 TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS
The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three
register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL, hold the
contents of the stack location pointed to by the
STKPTR register (Figure 5-3). This allows users to
implement a software stack if necessary. After a CALL,
RCALL or interrupt, the software can read the pushed
value by reading the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL registers.
These values can be placed on a user defined software
stack. At return time, the software can replace the
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.
5.2.2 RETURN STACK POINTER
(STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) contains the stack
pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value
of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. At Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVR (Stack Overflow
Reset Enable) configuration bit. (Refer to Section 19.1
“Configuration Bits” for a description of the device
configuration bits.) If STVR is set (default), the 31st
push will push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the
STKFUL bit and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will
remain set and the Stack Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVR is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or a POR occurs.
FIGURE 5-3: RETURN ADDRESS STACK AND ASSOCIATED REGISTERS
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.

5.2.3 PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS
Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,
the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values
off the stack, without disturbing normal program execution,
is a desirable option. To push the current PC value
onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.
This will increment the Stack Pointer and load the current
PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL
can then be modified to place data or a return address
on the stack.
The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and
replace it with the value that was previously pushed
onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is
achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruction
discards the current TOS by decrementing the
Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed onto the
stack then becomes the TOS value.
5.2.4 STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS
These Resets are enabled by programming the STVR
bit in Configuration Register 4L. When the STVR bit is
cleared, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate
STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device
Reset. When the STVR bit is set, a full or underflow
condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF
bit and then cause a device Reset. The STKFUL or
STKUNF bits are cleared by the user software or a
Power-on Reset.

5.3 Fast Register Stack
A “fast return” option is available for interrupts. A fast
register stack is provided for the Status, WREG and
BSR registers and is only one in depth. The stack is not
readable or writable and is loaded with the current
value of the corresponding register when the processor
vectors for an interrupt. The values in the registers are
then loaded back into the working registers, if the
RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the
interrupt.
All interrupt sources will push values into the stack
registers. If both low and high priority interrupts are
enabled, the stack registers cannot be used reliably to
return from low priority interrupts. If a high priority interrupt
occurs while servicing a low priority interrupt, the
stack register values stored by the low priority interrupt
will be overwritten. Users must save the key registers
in software during a low priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the
fast register stack for returns from interrupt.
If no interrupts are used, the fast register stack can be
used to restore the Status, WREG and BSR registers at
the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register
stack for a subroutine call, a CALL LABEL, FAST
instruction must be executed to save the Status,
WREG and BSR registers to the fast register stack. A
RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore
these registers from the fast register stack.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack during a subroutine call and
return.
EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
5.4 PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21-bits
wide. The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both
readable and writable. The high byte, or PCH register,
contains the PC<15:8> bits and is not directly readable
or writable. Updates to the PCH register may be performed
through the PCLATH register. The upper byte is
called PCU. This register contains the PC<20:16> bits
and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to the
PCU register may be performed through the PCLATU
register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be
transferred to the program counter by any operation
that writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the
program counter will be transferred to PCLATH and
PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful
for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 5.8.1
“Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the LSB of PCL is fixed to a value of ‘0’.
The PC increments by 2 to address sequential
instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch instructions
write to the program counter directly. For these
instructions, the contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are
not transferred to the program counter.

5.5 Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the
Program Counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instruction
is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow
are shown in Figure 5-4.
5.6 Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle,
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO),
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 5-2).
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register” (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.7 Instructions in Program Memory
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions
are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB = 0). Figure 5-5 shows an
example of how instruction words are stored in the program
memory. To maintain alignment with instruction
boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the
LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.4 “PCL,
PCLATH and PCLATU”).
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word
boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a
word address. The word address is written to
PC<20:1>, which accesses the desired byte address in
program memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-5 shows
how the instruction ‘GOTO 000006h’ is encoded in the
program memory. Program branch instructions, which
encode a relative address offset, operate in the same
manner. The offset value stored in a branch instruction
represents the number of single-word instructions that
the PC will be offset by. Section 20.0 “Instruction Set
Summary” provides further details of the instruction
set.
FIGURE 5-5: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
5.7.1 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
PIC18F1220/1320 devices have four two-word
instructions: MOVFF, CALL, GOTO and LFSR. The second
word of these instructions has the 4 MSBs set to ‘1’s and
is decoded as a NOP instruction. The lower 12 bits of the
second word contain data to be used by the instruction.
If the first word of the instruction is executed, the data in
the second word is accessed. If the second word of the
instruction is executed by itself (first word was skipped),
it will execute as a NOP. This action is necessary when
the two-word instruction is preceded by a conditional
instruction that results in a skip operation. A program
example that demonstrates this concept is shown in
Example 5-3. Refer to Section 20.0 “Instruction Set
Summary” for further details of the instruction set.

5.8 Look-up Tables
Look-up tables are implemented two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
5.8.1 COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (see Example 5-4).
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions.
WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn
instructions, that returns the value 0xnn to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be multiples of 2 (LSB = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
EXAMPLE 5-4: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
5.8.2 TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per program
word by using table reads and writes. The Table
Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte address
and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register contains the
data that is read from or written to program memory.
Data is transferred to/from program memory, one byte
at a time.
The table read/table write operation is discussed
further in Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.
5.9 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each
register in the data memory has a 12-bit address,
allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 5-6
shows the data memory organization for the
PIC18F1220/1320 devices.
The data memory map is divided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits
of the Bank Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which
bank will be accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are
not implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratch pad operations in the user’s application.
The SFRs start at the last location of Bank 15
(FFFh) and extend towards F80h. Any remaining space
beyond the SFRs in the Bank may be implemented as
GPRs. GPRs start at the first location of Bank 0 and
grow upwards. Any read of an unimplemented location
will read as ‘0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly or
indirectly. Direct addressing may require the use of the
BSR register. Indirect addressing requires the use of a
File Select Register (FSRn) and a corresponding Indirect
File Operand (INDFn). Each FSR holds a 12-bit
address value that can be used to access any location
in the Data Memory map without banking. See
Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers” for indirect addressing details.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. This may be accomplished by indirect
addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The
MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction
that moves a value from one register to another.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank
is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of
Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 5.10
“Access Bank” provides a detailed description of the
Access RAM.
5.9.1 GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in
the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.
Data RAM is available for use as GPR registers by all
instructions. The second half of Bank 15 (F80h to
FFFh) contains SFRs. All other banks of data memory
contain GPRs, starting with Bank 0.

5.9.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is
given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associated
with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described in this section, while those related
to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section of that peripheral feature.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the peripherals
whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations will be unimplemented and
read as ‘0’s.

5.10 Access Bank
The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement
which is very useful for C compiler code optimization.
The techniques used by the C compiler may also be
useful for programs written in assembly.
This data memory region can be used for:
• Intermediate computational values
• Local variables of subroutines
• Faster context saving/switching of variables
• Common variables
• Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
The Access Bank is comprised of the last 128 bytes in
Bank 15 (SFRs) and the first 128 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access RAM
High and Access RAM Low, respectively. Figure 5-6
indicates the Access RAM areas.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in
the Access Bank. This bit is denoted as the ‘a’ bit (for
access bit).
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last
address in Access RAM Low is followed by the first
address in Access RAM High. Access RAM High maps
the Special Function Registers, so these registers can
be accessed without any software overhead. This is
useful for testing status flags and modifying control bits.
5.11 Bank Select Register (BSR)
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into as many as sixteen banks. When using
direct addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ‘0’s and
writes will have no effect (see Figure 5-7).
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the instruction
set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all ‘0’s and all writes are ignored. The
Status register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate for
the instruction performed.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR, since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers” provides a description of indirect addressing,
which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.
FIGURE 5-7: DIRECT ADDRESSING
Note 1: For register file map detail, see Table 5-1.
2: The access bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to the registers
of the Access Bank.
3: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.

5.12 Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data memory,
where the data memory address in the instruction
is not fixed. An FSR register is used as a pointer to the
data memory location that is to be read or written. Since
this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by
the program. This can be useful for data tables in the
data memory and for software stacks. Figure 5-8
shows how the fetched instruction is modified prior to
being executed.
Indirect addressing is possible by using one of the
INDF registers. Any instruction, using the INDF register,
actually accesses the register pointed to by the File
Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself,
indirectly (FSR = 0), will read 00h. Writing to the INDF
register indirectly, results in a no operation (NOP). The
FSR register contains a 12-bit address, which is shown
in Figure 5-9.
The INDFn register is not a physical register. Addressing
INDFn actually addresses the register whose
address is contained in the FSRn register (FSRn is a
pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Example 5-5 shows a simple use of indirect addressing
to clear the RAM in Bank 1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a
minimum number of instructions.
EXAMPLE 5-5: HOW TO CLEAR RAM
(BANK 1) USING
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
There are three indirect addressing registers. To
address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes),
these registers are 12-bit wide. To store the 12 bits of
addressing information, two 8-bit registers are required:
1. FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L
2. FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L
3. FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L
In addition, there are registers INDF0, INDF1 and
INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading
or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing,
with the value in the corresponding FSR register
being the address of the data. If an instruction writes a
value to INDF0, the value will be written to the address
pointed to by FSR0H:FSR0L. A read from INDF1 reads
the data from the address pointed to by
FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in code anywhere
an operand can be used.
If INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are read indirectly via an
FSR, all ‘0’s are read (zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the
operation will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the
Status bits are not affected.
5.12.1 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
OPERATION
Each FSR register has an INDF register associated with
it, plus four additional register addresses. Performing an
operation using one of these five registers determines
how the FSR will be modified during indirect addressing.
When data access is performed using one of the five
INDFn locations, the address selected will configure
the FSRn register to:
• Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access (no
change) – INDFn
• Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect access
(post-decrement) – POSTDECn
• Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect access
(post-increment) – POSTINCn
• Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect access
(pre-increment) – PREINCn
• Use the value in the WREG register as an offset
to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the WREG or
the FSRn register after an indirect access (no
change) – PLUSWn
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement
features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
Status register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal ‘0’, the Z bit will not be set.
Auto-incrementing or auto-decrementing an FSR affects
all 12 bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an
increment, FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a
stack pointer, in addition to its uses for table operations
in data memory.
Each FSR has an address associated with it that
performs an indexed indirect access. When a data
access to this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the
FSRn is configured to add the signed value in the
WREG register and the value in FSR to form the
address before an indirect access. The FSR value is
not changed. The WREG offset range is -128 to +127.
If an FSR register contains a value that points to one of
the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (zero bit is
set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP
(Status bits are not affected).
If an indirect addressing write is performed when the target
address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register, the data is
written to the FSR register, but no pre- or post-increment/
decrement is performed.

5.13 Status Register
The Status register, shown in Register 5-2, contains the
arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR, it
can be the operand for any instruction.
If the Status register is the destination for an instruction
that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results of the
instruction are not written; instead, the status is
updated according to the instruction performed. Therefore,
the result of an instruction with the Status register
as its destination may be different than intended. As an
example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit and leave the
remaining Status bits unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF
and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the Status register,
because these instructions do not affect the Z, C,
DC, OV or N bits in the Status register.
For other instructions that do not affect Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 20-1.

PIC18F1220/1320
6.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A “Bulk Erase” operation
may not be issued from user code.
While writing or erasing program memory, instruction
fetches cease until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
6.1 Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data
RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into TABLAT in the data RAM
space. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read
with program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from TABLAT in the
data memory space into holding registers in program
memory. The procedure to write the contents of the
holding registers into program memory is detailed in
Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
Figure 6-2 shows the operation of a table write with
program memory and data RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block
can start and end at any byte address. If a table write is
being used to write executable code into program
memory, program instructions will need to be word
aligned (TBLPTRL<0> = 0).
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write and
erase times. The write and erase voltages are generated
by an on-chip charge pump rated to operate over
the voltage range of the device for byte or word
operations.

FIGURE 6-2: TABLE WRITE OPERATION
6.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
• EECON1 register
• EECON2 register
• TABLAT register
• TBLPTR registers
6.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit, EEPGD, determines if the access will be to
program or data EEPROM memory. When clear,
operations will access the data EEPROM memory.
When set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the configuration registers, or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
The FREE bit controls program memory erase operations.
When the FREE bit is set, the erase operation is
initiated on the next WR command. When FREE is
clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write
operations. When set, erase and write operations are
allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are
disabled – the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit
is clear. This process helps to prevent accidental writes
to memory due to errant (unexpected) code execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times,
except when starting erase or write operations. Once
firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be
cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the
operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is
interrupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can
check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It will be
necessary to reload the data and address registers
(EEDATA and EEADR) as these registers have cleared
as a result of the Reset.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.3 “Reading the
Flash Program Memory” regarding table reads.

6.2.2 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The table latch is used to hold 8-bit
data during data transfers between program memory
and data RAM.
6.2.3 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) addresses a byte within
the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised of
three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers
join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
program memory space. Setting the 22nd bit allows
access to the device ID, the user ID and the
configuration bits.
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect
the low-order 21 bits.
6.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the Table
Pointer determine which byte is read from program or
configuration memory into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table
Pointer (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the eight
program memory holding registers is written to. When
the timed write to program memory (long write) begins,
the 19 MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:3>) will
determine which program memory block of 8 bytes is
written to (TBLPTR<2:0> are ignored). For more detail,
see Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:6>) point to
the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and place it into data RAM. Table
reads from program memory are performed one byte at
a time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing a TBLRD instruction places the byte pointed
to into TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block size is 32 words or 64 bytes
under firmware control. Only through the use of an
external programmer, or through ICSP control, can
larger blocks of program memory be bulk erased. Word
erase in Flash memory is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller
itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash
program memory. The CFGS bit must be clear to
access program Flash and data EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.
The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. The
WR bit is set as part of the required instruction
sequence (as shown in Example 6-2) and starts the
actual erase operation. It is not necessary to load the
TABLAT register with any data as it is ignored.
For protection, the write initiate sequence using
EECON2 must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.
6.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1. Load Table Pointer with address of row being
erased.
2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program
memory;
• set WREN bit to enable writes;
• set FREE bit to enable the erase.
3. Disable interrupts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Execute a NOP.
9. Re-enable interrupts.

6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block size is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 8 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction must be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the table write
operations will essentially be short writes, because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the
internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.
FIGURE 6-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
6.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Read 64 bytes into RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer with address being erased.
4. Do the row erase procedure (see Section 6.4.1
“Flash Program Memory Erase Sequence”).
5. Load Table Pointer with address of first byte
being written.
6. Write the first 8 bytes into the holding registers
with auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program
memory;
• set WREN bit to enable byte writes.
8. Disable interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Execute a NOP.
14. Re-enable interrupts.
15. Repeat steps 6-14 seven times to write
64 bytes.
16. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 18 ms to update one
row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required
code is given in Example 6-3.

EXAMPLE 6-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
6.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory
should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
6.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and reprogrammed
if needed. The WRERR bit is set when a
write operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset, or a
WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these
situations, users can check the WRERR bit and rewrite
the location.

PIC18F1220/1320
7.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is readable and writable during
normal operation over the entire VDD range. The data
memory is not directly mapped in the register file
space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are four SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
• EECON1
• EECON2
• EEDATA
• EEADR
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the
address of the EEPROM location being accessed.
These devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM with
an address range from 00h to FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/
write cycle endurance. A byte write automatically
erases the location and writes the new data (erasebefore-write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip
timer. The write time will vary with voltage and
temperature, as well as from chip to chip. Please
refer to parameter D122 (Table 22-1 in Section 22.0
“Electrical Characteristics”) for exact limits.
7.1 EEADR
The address register can address 256 bytes of data
EEPROM.
7.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit, EEPGD, determines if the access will be to
program or data EEPROM memory. When clear,
operations will access the data EEPROM memory.
When set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write
operations. When set, erase and write operations are
allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are
disabled – the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit
is clear. This mechanism helps to prevent accidental
writes to memory due to errant (unexpected) code
execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times,
except when starting erase or write operations. Once
firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be
cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the
operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is
interrupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can
check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is
necessary to reload the data and address registers
(EEDATA and EEADR), as these registers have
cleared as a result of the Reset.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
Note: Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register,
is set when write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.PIC18F1220/1320

7.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD
control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit, RD
(EECON1<0>). The data is available for the very next
instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can
be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this
value until another read operation, or until it is written to
by the user (during a write operation).
7.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADR register and the data
written to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to EECON2,
then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly recommended
that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code execution
(i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruction.
Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag bit
(EEIF) is set. The user may either enable this interrupt
or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.
7.5 Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.6 Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch or software malfunction.

7.7 Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
configuration words. External read and write
operations are disabled if either of these mechanisms
are enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect configuration bit. Refer to Section 19.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
7.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high endurance, byte addressable
array that has been optimized for the storage of frequently
changing information (e.g., program variables or
other data that are updated often). Frequently changing
values will typically be updated more often than specification
D124. If this is not the case, an array refresh must
be performed. For this reason, variables that change
infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.)
should be stored in Flash program memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.
EXAMPLE 7-3: DATA EEPROM REFRESH ROUTINE
TABLE 7-1: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH DATA EEPROM MEMORY
Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store
constants and/or data that changes rarely,
an array refresh is likely not required. See

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1 Introduction
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18F1220/1320 devices. By making the multiply
a hardware operation, it completes in a single instruction
cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives a
16-bit result. The result is stored into the 16-bit product
register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not
affect any flags in the Status register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
algorithms
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 8-1 shows a performance comparison between
Enhanced devices using the single-cycle hardware
multiply and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
TABLE 8-1: PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
8.2 Operation
Example 8-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.

PIC18F1220/1320
9.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F1220/1320 devices have multiple interrupt
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
each interrupt source to be assigned a high priority
level or a low priority level. The high priority interrupt
vector is at 000008h and the low priority interrupt vector
is at 000018h. High priority interrupt events will
interrupt any low priority interrupts that may be in
progress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
• RCON
• INTCON
• INTCON2
• INTCON3
• PIR1, PIR2
• PIE1, PIE2
• IPR1, IPR2
It is recommended that the Microchip header files
supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
In general, each interrupt source has three bits to
control its operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
(INT0 has no priority bit and is always high priority)
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts
globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).
Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority).
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will
vector immediately to address 000008h or 000018h,
depending on the priority bit setting. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
enable bits.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
000008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low
priority interrupt. Low priority interrupts are not
processed while high priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address
(000008h or 000018h). Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined
by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt
flag bits must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or
GIEL, if priority levels are used), which re-enables
interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.PIC18F1220/1320

9.6 INTn Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 pins are edge-triggered: either rising if the
corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in the INTCON2 register,
or falling if the INTEDGx bit is clear. When a valid
edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding
flag bit, INTxF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxE. Flag bit,
INTxF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt. All
external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-up
the processor from low-power modes if bit INTxE was
set prior to going into low-power modes. If the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will
branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value contained in the interrupt priority bits, INT1IP
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There is
no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a high
priority interrupt source.
9.7 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow
(FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit,
TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh → 0000h)
in the TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit,
TMR0IF. The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>).
Interrupt priority for Timer0 is determined by the value
contained in the interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP
(INTCON2<2>). See Section 11.0 “Timer0 Module”
for further details on the Timer0 module.
9.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
9.9 Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on the
stack. Additionally, the WREG, Status and BSR registers
are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast return from
interrupt is not used (see Section 5.3 “Fast Register
Stack”), the user may need to save the WREG, Status
and BSR registers on entry to the Interrupt Service
Routine. Depending on the user’s application, other
registers may also need to be saved. Example 9-1
saves and restores the WREG, Status and BSR
registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.

10.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
• TRIS register (data direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (output latch)
The Data Latch (LATA) register is useful for readmodify-write
operations on the value that the I/O pins
are driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port without the
interfaces to other peripherals is shown in Figure 10-1.
FIGURE 10-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
10.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA
Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
data direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
The Data Latch register (LATA) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATA
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin.
The sixth pin of PORTA (MCLR/VPP/RA5) is an input
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE
configuration bit in Configuration Register 3H
(CONFIG3H<7>). When selected as a port pin
(MCLRE = 0), it functions as a digital input only pin; as
such, it does not have TRIS or LAT bits associated with
its operation. Otherwise, it functions as the device’s
Master Clear input. In either configuration, RA5 also
functions as the programming voltage input during
programming.
Pins RA6 and RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator
pins; they are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by
the selection of the main oscillator in Configuration
Register 1H (see Section 19.1 “Configuration Bits”
for details). When they are not used as port pins, RA6
and RA7 and their associated TRIS and LAT bits are
read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the LVD
input. The operation of pins RA3:RA0 as A/D converter
inputs is selected by clearing/setting the control bits in
the ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register 1).
The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an
open-drain output. All other PORTA pins have TTL
input levels and full CMOS output drivers.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

10.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
data direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.
EXAMPLE 10-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
Pins RB0-RB2 are multiplexed with INT0-INT2; pins
RB0, RB1 and RB4 are multiplexed with A/D inputs;
pins RB1 and RB4 are multiplexed with EUSART; and
pins RB2, RB3, RB6 and RB7 are multiplexed with
ECCP.
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupton-change
feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change
comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF instruction). This will end the mismatch
condition.
b) Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
FIGURE 10-7: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF

Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB4:RB0 are
configured as analog inputs by default and

11.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit. In
Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0 register
is written, the increment is inhibited for the following
two instruction cycles. The user can work around this
by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit. In
Counter mode, Timer0 will increment either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing
edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit (T0SE). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the
rising edge.
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized with the internal
phase clock (TOSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
11.2 Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
The PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits determine the
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256 are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, x, ..., etc.) will clear the prescaler
count.
11.2.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during
program execution).
11.3 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register
overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or FFFFh
to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the TMR0IF
bit. The interrupt can be masked by clearing the
TMR0IE bit. The TMR0IF bit must be cleared in software
by the Timer0 module Interrupt Service Routine
before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt
cannot awaken the processor from Low-Power Sleep
mode, since the timer requires clock cycles even when
T0CS is set.
11.4 16-Bit Mode Timer Reads
and Writes
TMR0H is not the high byte of the timer/counter in
16-bit mode, but is actually a buffered version of the
high byte of Timer0 (refer to Figure 11-2). The high byte
of the Timer0 counter/timer is not directly readable nor
writable. TMR0H is updated with the contents of the
high byte of Timer0 during a read of TMR0L. This provides
the ability to read all 16 bits of Timer0, without
having to verify that the read of the high and low byte
were valid due to a rollover between successive reads
of the high and low byte.
A write to the high byte of Timer0 must also take place
through the TMR0H Buffer register. Timer0 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR0H when a write
occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0 to be
updated at once.
TABLE 11-1: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH TIMER0
Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

12.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers: TMR1H and TMR1L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• Reset from CCP module special event trigger
• Status of system clock operation
Figure 12-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer1
module.
Register 12-1 details the Timer1 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer1
module and contains the Timer1 Oscillator Enable bit
(T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing control bit, TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
The Timer1 oscillator can be used as a secondary clock
source in power managed modes. When the T1RUN bit
is set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the system
clock. If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the system clock,
polling the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is
being provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another
source.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications, with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.

12.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
When TMR1CS = 0, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. When TMR1CS = 1, Timer1 increments on
every rising edge of the external clock input, or the
Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RB7/PGD/T1OSI/P1D/KBI3 and RB6/T1OSO/
T13CKI/P1C/KBI2 pins become inputs. That is, the
TRISB7:TRISB6 values are ignored and the pins read
as ‘0’.
Timer1 also has an internal “Reset input”. This Reset
can be generated by the CCP module (see
Section 15.4.4 “Special Event Trigger”).

12.2 Timer1 Oscillator
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator
is a low-power oscillator rated for 32 kHz crystals.
It will continue to run during all power managed modes.
The circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in
Figure 12-3. Table 12-1 shows the capacitor selection
for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.
FIGURE 12-3: EXTERNAL
COMPONENTS FOR THE
TIMER1 LP OSCILLATOR
TABLE 12-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
THE TIMER OSCILLATOR
Note: The Timer1 oscillator shares the T1OSI
and T1OSO pins with the PGD and PGC
pins used for programming and
debugging.
When using the Timer1 oscillator, In-Circuit
Serial Programming (ICSP) may not
function correctly (high voltage or low
voltage), or the In-Circuit Debugger (ICD)
may not communicate with the controller.
As a result of using either ICSP or ICD, the
Timer1 crystal may be damaged.
If ICSP or ICD operations are required, the
crystal should be disconnected from the
circuit (disconnect either lead), or installed
after programming. The oscillator loading
capacitors may remain in-circuit during
ICSP or ICD operation.

Note 1: Microchip suggests this value as a starting
point in validating the oscillator circuit.
Oscillator operation should then be tested
to ensure expected performance under
all expected conditions (VDD and
temperature).
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external
components.
4: Capacitor values are for design guidance
only.

12.3 Timer1 Oscillator Layout
Considerations
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator
(such as the CCP1 pin in output compare or PWM
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as
shown in Figure 12-4, may be helpful when used on a
single sided PCB, or in addition to a ground plane.
FIGURE 12-4: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
WITH GROUNDED
GUARD RING
12.4 Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR1IE
(PIE1<0>).
12.5 Resetting Timer1 Using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode
to generate a “special event trigger”
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), this signal will reset
Timer1 and start an A/D conversion, if the A/D module
is enabled (see Section 15.4.4 “Special Event
Trigger” for more information).
Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized
Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take
precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register
pair effectively becomes the period register for
Timer1.
12.6 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, is
valid, due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. Timer1 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR1H when a write
occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16 bits
to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

12.7 Using Timer1 as a
Real-Time Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the
one described in Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator”,
above), gives users the option to include RTC functionality
to their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 register
pair to overflow, triggers the interrupt and calls the
routine, which increments the seconds counter by one;
additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented as the previous counter overflow.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload
it; the simplest method is to set the MSb of TMR1H
with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L register is
never preloaded or altered; doing so may introduce
cumulative error over many cycles.
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

13.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module timer has the following features:
• 8-bit timer (TMR2 register)
• 8-bit period register (PR2)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
• Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2
Timer2 has a control register shown in Register 13-1.
TMR2 can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.
Figure 13-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer2
module. Register 13-1 shows the Timer2 Control
register. The prescaler and postscaler selection of
Timer2 are controlled by this register.
13.1 Timer2 Operation
Timer2 can be used as the PWM time base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR2 register is
readable and writable and is cleared on any device
Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits,
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The match output
of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit, TMR2IF (PIR1<1>)).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• A write to the TMR2 register
• A write to the T2CON register
• Any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

13.2 Timer2 Interrupt
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is
initialized to FFh upon Reset.
13.3 Output of TMR2
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the
Synchronous Serial Port module, which optionally uses
it to generate the shift clock.

14.0 TIMER3 MODULE
The Timer3 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers; TMR3H and TMR3L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• Reset from CCP module trigger
Figure 14-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer3
module.
Register 14-1 shows the Timer3 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer3
module and sets the CCP clock source.
Register 12-1 shows the Timer1 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer1
module, as well as contains the Timer1 Oscillator
Enable bit (T1OSCEN), which can be a clock source for
Timer3.

14.1 Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>).
When TMR3CS = 0, Timer3 increments every instruction
cycle. When TMR3CS = 1, Timer3 increments on
every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input or
the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RB7/PGD/T1OSI/P1D/KBI3 and RB6/PGC/
T1OSO/T13CKI/P1C/KBI2 pins become inputs. That
is, the TRISB7:TRISB6 value is ignored and the pins
are read as ‘0’.
Timer3 also has an internal “Reset input”. This Reset
can be generated by the CCP module (see
Section 15.4.4 “Special Event Trigger”).

14.2 Timer1 Oscillator
The Timer1 oscillator may be used as the clock source
for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting
the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. The oscillator is a lowpower
oscillator rated for 32 kHz crystals. See
Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator” for further details.
14.3 Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
TMR3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF
(PIR2<1>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing TMR3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
14.4 Resetting Timer3 Using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode
to generate a “special event trigger”
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), this signal will reset
Timer3. See Section 15.4.4 “Special Event Trigger”
for more information.
Timer3 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized
Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work. In the event that a
write to Timer3 coincides with a special event trigger
from CCP1, the write will take precedence. In this mode
of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair
effectively becomes the period register for Timer3.

15.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/
COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)
MODULE
The Enhanced CCP module is implemented as a
standard CCP module with Enhanced PWM
capabilities. These capabilities allow for 2 or 4 output
channels, user-selectable polarity, dead-band control
and automatic shutdown and restart and are discussed
in detail in Section 15.5 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.
The control register for CCP1 is shown in Register 15-1.
In addition to the expanded functions of the CCP1CON
register, the ECCP module has two additional
registers associated with Enhanced PWM operation
and auto-shutdown features:
• PWM1CON

15.1 ECCP Outputs
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are
multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTB. The pin
assignments are summarized in Table 15-1.
To configure I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper PWM
mode must be selected by setting the P1Mn and
CCP1Mn bits (CCP1CON<7:6> and <3:0>,
respectively). The appropriate TRISB direction bits for
the port pins must also be set as outputs.
TABLE 15-1: PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR VARIOUS ECCP MODES
15.2 CCP Module
Capture/Compare/PWM Register 1 (CCPR1) is comprised
of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and
CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP1CON register controls
the operation of CCP1. All are readable and writable.
TABLE 15-2: CCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
15.3 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the 16-bit
value of the TMR1 or TMR3 registers when an event
occurs on pin RB3/CCP1/P1A. An event is defined as
one of the following:
• every falling edge
• every rising edge
• every 4th rising edge
• every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by control bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt
request flag bit, CCP1IF (PIR1<2>), is set; it must
be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before
the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured
value is overwritten by the new captured value.
15.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RB3/CCP1/P1A pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISB<3> bit.
15.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(either Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer
mode or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not
work. The timer to be used with the CCP module is
selected in the T3CON register.
15.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit,
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>), clear while changing capture
modes to avoid false interrupts and should clear the
flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such change in
operating mode.

PIC18F1220/1320
15.3.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is
turned off or the CCP module is not in Capture mode,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 15-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
EXAMPLE 15-1: CHANGING BETWEEN
CAPTURE PRESCALERS
FIGURE 15-1: CAPTURE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
15.4 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 register
pair value, or the TMR3 register pair value. When a
match occurs, the RB3/CCP1/P1A pin:
• Is driven high
• Is driven low
• Toggles output (high-to-low or low-to-high)
• Remains unchanged (interrupt only)
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0. At the same time, interrupt
flag bit, CCP1IF, is set.
15.4.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the RB3/CCP1/P1A pin as an
output by clearing the TRISB<3> bit.
15.4.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
15.4.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When generate software interrupt is chosen, the RB3/
CCP1/P1A pin is not affected. CCP1IF is set and an
interrupt is generated (if enabled).
15.4.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated,
which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the
TMR1 register pair. This allows the CCPR1 register to
effectively be a 16-bit programmable period register for
Timer1.
The special event trigger also sets the GO/DONE bit
(ADCON0<1>). This starts a conversion of the
currently selected A/D channel if the A/D is on.

PIC18F1220/1320
15.5 Enhanced PWM Mode
The Enhanced PWM Mode provides additional PWM
output options for a broader range of control applications.
The module is an upwardly compatible version of
the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,
designated P1A through P1D. Users are also able to
select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or
active-low). The module’s output mode and polarity are
configured by setting the P1M1:P1M0 and
CCP1M3CCP1M0 bits of the CCP1CON register
(CCP1CON<7:6> and CCP1CON<3:0>, respectively).
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to prevent
glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is the PWM
Delay register, ECCP1DEL, which is loaded at either the
duty cycle boundary or the boundary period (whichever
comes first). Because of the buffering, the module waits
until the assigned timer resets instead of starting immediately.
This means that Enhanced PWM waveforms do
not exactly match the standard PWM waveforms, but
are instead offset by one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).
As before, the user must manually configure the
appropriate TRIS bits for output.
15.5.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
equation:
EQUATION 15-1: PWM PERIOD
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When
TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur
on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the
CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
15.5.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the equation:
EQUATION 15-2: PWM DUTY CYCLE
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not copied into
CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H
is a read-only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match
TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or
two bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is
cleared. The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a
given PWM frequency is given by the equation:
EQUATION 15-3: PWM RESOLUTION
15.5.3 PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The P1M1:P1M0 bits in the CCP1CON register allow
one of four configurations:
• Single Output
• Half-Bridge Output
• Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode
• Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode
The Single Output mode is the Standard PWM mode
discussed in Section 15.5 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.
The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are
covered in detail in the sections that follow.
The general relationship of the outputs in all
configurations is summarized in Figure 15-4.
TABLE 15-4: EXAMPLE PWM FREQUENCIES AND RESOLUTIONS AT 40 MHz
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0
“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.

15.5.4 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as
outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output
signal is output on the RB3/CCP1/P1A pin, while the
complementary PWM output signal is output on the
RB2/P1B/INT2 pin (Figure 15-6). This mode can be
used for half-bridge applications, as shown in
Figure 15-7, or for full-bridge applications, where four
power switches are being modulated with two PWM
signals.
In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable deadband
delay can be used to prevent shoot-through
current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits,
PDC6:PDC0 (PWM1CON<6:0>), sets the number of
instruction cycles before the output is driven active. If the
value is greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding
output remains inactive during the entire cycle. See
Section 15.5.6 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay”
for more details of the dead-band delay operations.
The TRISB<3> and TRISB<2> bits must be cleared to
configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

15.5.5 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as
outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.
In the Forward mode, pin RB3/CCP1/P1A is continuously
active and pin RB7/PGD/T1OSI/P1D/KBI3 is
modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin RB6/PGC/
T1OSO/T13CKI/P1C/KBI2 is continuously active and
pin RB2/P1B/INT2 is modulated. These are illustrated
in Figure 15-8.
The TRISB<3:2> and TRISB<7:6> bits must be cleared
to make the P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D pins output.

FIGURE 15-9: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE APPLICATION
15.5.5.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the
CCP1CON register allows the user to control the
Forward/Reverse direction. When the application
firmware changes this direction control bit, the module
will assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their
inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.
This occurs in a time interval of (4 TOSC * (Timer2
Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1,4 or 16, depending
on the value of the T2CKPS bit (T2CON<1:0>).
During the interval from the switch of the unmodulated
outputs to the beginning of the next period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain inactive.
This relationship is shown in Figure 15-10.
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the ECCP
module does not provide any dead-band delay. In
general, since only one output is modulated at all times,
dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a
situation where a dead-band delay might be required.
This situation occurs when both of the following
conditions are true:
1. The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
Figure 15-11 shows an example where the PWM direction
changes from forward to reverse, at a near 100%
duty cycle. At time t1, the output P1A and P1D become
inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In this
example, since the turn-off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through current
may flow through power devices QC and QD (see
Figure 15-9) for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon
will occur to power devices QA and QB for PWM
direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must be met:
1. Reduce PWM for a PWM period before
changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

15.5.6 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY
In half-bridge applications where all power switches are
modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the
power switches normally require more time to turn off
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power
switches are switched at the same time (one turned on
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for
a short period of time until one switch completely turns
off. During this brief interval, a very high current (shootthrough
current) may flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from flowing
during switching, turning on either of the power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
current from destroying the bridge power switches. The
delay occurs at the signal transition from the non-active
state to the active state. See Figure 15-6 for an illustration.
The lower seven bits of the PWM1CON register
(Register 15-2) sets the delay period in terms of
microcontroller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC).
15.5.7 ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN
When the ECCP is programmed for any of the
Enhanced PWM modes, the active output pins may be
configured for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately
places the Enhanced PWM output pins into a
defined shutdown state when a shutdown event
occurs.
A shutdown event can be caused by the INT0, INT1 or
INT2 pins (or any combination of these three sources).
The auto-shutdown feature can be disabled by not
selecting any auto-shutdown sources. The autoshutdown
sources to be used are selected using the
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits (bits <6:4> of the ECCPAS
register).
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states, specified
by the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and PSSBD1:PSSBD0
bits (ECCPAS<3:0>). Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and
P1B/P1D) may be set to drive high, drive low or be tristated
(not driving). The ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>)
is also set to hold the Enhanced PWM outputs in their
shutdown states.
The ECCPASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown
event occurs. If automatic restarts are not enabled, the
ECCPASE bit is cleared by firmware when the cause of
the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,
the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared when the
cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.
If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that
entire PWM period. When the ECCPASE bit is cleared,
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the
beginning of the next PWM period.

15.5.7.1 Auto-Shutdown and
Automatic Restart
The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow
automatic restarts of the module, following a shutdown
event. This is enabled by setting the PRSEN bit of the
PWM1CON register (PWM1CON<7>).
In Shutdown mode with PRSEN = 1 (Figure 15-12), the
ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause
of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown
condition clears, the ECCPASE bit is automatically
cleared. If PRSEN = 0 (Figure 15-13), once a shutdown
condition occurs, the ECCPASE bit will remain set until
it is cleared by firmware. Once ECCPASE is cleared,
the Enhanced PWM will resume at the beginning of the
next PWM period.
Independent of the PRSEN bit setting, the ECCPASE
bit cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the
shutdown persists.
The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’
to the ECCPASE bit.
15.5.8 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When the ECCP module is used in the PWM mode, the
application hardware must use the proper external pullup
and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
When the microcontroller is released from Reset, all of
the I/O pins are in the high-impedance state. The
external circuits must keep the power switch devices in
the off state, until the microcontroller drives the I/O pins
with the proper signal levels, or activates the PWM
output(s).
The CCP1M1:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are
configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configuration
while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is
not recommended, since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.
Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as
the ECCP module may cause damage to the application
circuit. The ECCP module must be enabled in the proper
output mode and complete a full PWM cycle, before configuring
the PWM pins as outputs. The completion of a
full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF bit being set
as the second PWM period begins.

15.5.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCP1 module for PWM operation:
1. Configure the PWM pins P1A and P1B (and
P1C and P1D, if used) as inputs by setting the
corresponding TRISB bits.
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.
3. Configure the ECCP module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:
• Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
P1M1:P1M0 bits.
• Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits.
4. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPR1L
register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
5. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the deadband
delay by loading PWM1CON<6:0> with
the appropriate value.
6. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCPAS register:
• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the
ECCPAS<2:0> bits.
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and
PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits.
• Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>).
7. If auto-restart operation is required, set the
PRSEN bit (PWM1CON<7>).
8. Configure and start TMR2:
• Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).
• Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit
(T2CON<2>).
9. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
• Wait until TMR2 overflows (TMR2IF bit is set).
• Enable the CCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or P1D
pin outputs by clearing the respective TRISB
bits.
• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>).
15.5.10 OPERATION IN LOW-POWER
MODES
In the Low-Power Sleep mode, all clock sources are
disabled. Timer2 will not increment and the state of the
module will not change. If the ECCP pin is driving a
value, it will continue to drive that value. When the
device wakes up, it will continue from this state. If TwoSpeed
Start-ups are enabled, the initial start-up
frequency may not be stable if the INTOSC is being
used.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCP module without change.
In all other low-power modes, the selected low-power
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other low-power mode
clocks will most likely be different than the primary
clock frequency.
15.5.10.1 Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor
If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled
(CONFIG1H<6> is programmed), a clock failure will
force the device into the Low-Power RC_RUN mode
and the OSCFIF bit (PIR2<7>) will be set. The ECCP
will then be clocked from the INTRC clock source,
which may have a different clock frequency than the
primary clock. By loading the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits on
Resets, the user can enable the INTOSC at a high
clock speed in the event of a clock failure.
See the previous section for additional details.
15.5.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both power-on and subsequent Resets will force all
ports to input mode and the CCP registers to their
Reset states.
This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCP module.PIC18F1220/1320

16.0 ENHANCED ADDRESSABLE
UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Addressable Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module
can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous
system that can communicate with peripheral devices,
such as CRT terminals and personal computers. It can
also be configured as a half-duplex synchronous
system that can communicate with peripheral devices,
such as A/D or D/A integrated circuits, serial
EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced Addressable USART module
implements additional features, including automatic
baud rate detection and calibration, automatic wake-up
on Sync Break reception and 12-bit Break character
transmit. These features make it ideally suited for use
in Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems.
The EUSART can be configured in the following
modes:
• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The RB1/AN5/TX/CK/INT1 and RB4/AN6/RX/DT/KBI0
pins must be configured as follows for use with the
Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter:
• SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit must be set ( = 1),
• PCFG6:PCFG5 (ADCON1<5:6>) must be set ( = 1),
• TRISB<4> bit must be set ( = 1) and
• TRISB<1> bit must be set ( = 1).
The operation of the Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCTL)
These are detailed in on the following pages in
Register 16-1, Register 16-2 and Register 16-3,
respectively.
16.1 Asynchronous Operation in Power
Managed Modes
The EUSART may operate in Asynchronous mode
while the peripheral clocks are being provided by the
internal oscillator block. This makes it possible to
remove the crystal or resonator that is commonly
connected as the primary clock on the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins.
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block output
(INTOSC) for 8 MHz (see Table 22-6). However,
this frequency may drift as VDD or temperature
changes and this directly affects the asynchronous
baud rate. Two methods may be used to adjust the
baud rate clock, but both require a reference clock
source of some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the INTOSC output back to 8 MHz.
Adjusting the value in the OSCTUNE register allows for
fine resolution changes to the system clock source (see
Section 3.6 “INTOSC Frequency Drift” for more
information).
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator (BRG). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.
Note: The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.PIC18F1220/1320

16.2 EUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator, that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCTL<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period
of a free running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits
BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 also control the baud
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 16-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different EUSART modes which only
apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be
calculated using the formulas in Table 16-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 16-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various asynchronous
modes are shown in Table 16-2. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or
achieve a slow baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
16.2.1 POWER MANAGED MODE
OPERATION
The system clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate; however, when a power managed mode is
entered, the clock source may be operating at a different
frequency than in PRI_RUN mode. In Sleep mode,
no clocks are present and in PRI_IDLE mode, the
primary clock source continues to provide clocks to the
Baud Rate Generator; however, in other power
managed modes, the clock frequency will probably
change. This may require the value in SPBRG to be
adjusted.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit
and make sure that the receive operation is Idle before
changing the system clock.
16.2.2 SAMPLING
The data on the RB4/AN6/RX/DT/KBI0 pin is sampled
three times by a majority detect circuit to determine if a
high or a low level is present at the RX pin.

For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate= 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%PIC18F1220/1320

PIC18F1220/1320
16.2.3 AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 16-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received and
the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is self-averaging.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is used
as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Detect
must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII “U”,
which is also the LIN bus Sync character), in order to
calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is taken
over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize
any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming signal.
After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up
using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RX. After eight bits on the RX pin, or the fifth
rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper
BRG period is left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers.
Once the 5th edge is seen (should correspond to the
Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no
carry occurred for 8-bit modes, by checking for 00h in
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 16-4 for counter
clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value
in the RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF
interrupt. RCREG content should be discarded.
16.2.4 RECEIVING A SYNC (AUTO-BAUD
RATE DETECT)
To receive a Sync (Auto-Baud Rate Detect):
1. Configure the EUSART for asynchronous receive.
TXEN should remain clear. SPBRGH:SPBRG
may be left as is. The controller should operate in
either PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE.
2. Enable RXIF interrupts. Set RCIE, PEIE, GIE.
3. Enable Auto-Baud Rate Detect. Set ABDEN.
4. When the next RCIF interrupt occurs, the
received baud rate has been measured. Read
RCREG to clear RCIF and discard. Check
SPBRGH:SPBRG for a valid value. The
EUSART is ready for normal communications.
Return from the interrupt. Allow the primary
clock to run (PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE).
5. Process subsequent RCIF interrupts normally
as in asynchronous reception. Remain in
PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE until communications
are complete.
TABLE 16-4: BRG COUNTER CLOCK
RATES
Note 1: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible
due to bit error rates. Overall system
timing and communication baud rates
must be taken into consideration when
using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.

FIGURE 16-1: AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE CALCULATION
16.3 EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) format
(one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop
bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator can be
used to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but use the same data format and baud
rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either
x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH
and BRG16 bits (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCTL<3>). Parity
is not supported by the hardware, but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
Asynchronous mode is available in all low-power
modes; it is available in Sleep mode only when autowake-up
on Sync Break is enabled. When in PRI_IDLE
mode, no changes to the Baud Rate Generator values
are required; however, other low-power mode clocks
may operate at another frequency than the primary
clock. Therefore, the Baud Rate Generator values may
need to be adjusted.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART
module consists of the following important elements:
• Baud Rate Generator
• Sampling Circuit
• Asynchronous Transmitter
• Asynchronous Receiver
• Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character
• 12-bit Break Character Transmit
• Auto-Baud Rate Detection
16.3.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is
empty and flag bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. This interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit, TXIF, will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit, TXIE, and cannot be cleared in
software. Flag bit, TXIF, is not cleared immediately upon
loading the Transmit Buffer register, TXREG. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a
load of TXREG will return invalid results.
While flag bit, TXIF, indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. Status bit, TRMT, is a readonly
bit, which is set when the TSR register is empty.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is
empty.

To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits in
the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

16.3.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 16-5.
The data is received on the RB4/AN6/RX/DT/KBI0 pin
and drives the data recovery block. The data recovery
block is actually a high-speed shifter, operating at x16
times the baud rate, whereas the main receive serial
shifter operates at the bit rate or at FOSC. This mode
would typically be used in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit RCIE was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
16.3.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

16.3.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be performed.
The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCTL<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event consists
of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line. (This
coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a Wake-up
Signal character for the LIN protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously
to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 16-7) and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 16-8). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high
transition is observed on the RX line, following the wakeup
event. At this point, the EUSART module is in Idle
mode and returns to normal operation. This signals to
the user that the Sync Break event is over.
16.3.4.1 Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state changes
before the Stop bit may signal a false end-of-character
and cause data or framing errors. To work properly,
therefore, the initial character in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bytes) for standard RS-232
devices, or 000h (12 bits) for LIN bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The
Sync Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of
sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient period,
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
16.3.4.2 Special Considerations Using
the WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes
a receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/
DT. The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading
the RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREG will
be dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

16.3.5 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The Enhanced USART module has the capability of
sending the special Break character sequences that
are required by the LIN bus standard. The Break character
transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve
‘0’ bits and a Stop bit. The Frame Break character is
sent whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3>
and TXSTA<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift
register is loaded with data. Note that the value of data
written to TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be
transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmission.
See Figure 16-9 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
16.3.5.1 Transmitting A Break Signal
The Enhanced USART module has the capability of
sending the Break signal that is required by the LIN bus
standard. The Break signal consists of a Start bit,
followed by twelve ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit. The Break signal
is sent whenever the SENDB (TXSTA<3>) and
TXEN (TXSTA<5>) bits are set and TXREG is loaded
with data. The data written to TXREG will be ignored
and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
SENDB is automatically cleared by hardware when the
Break signal has been sent. This allows the user to
preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal
transmission.
To send a Break Signal:
1. Configure the EUSART for asynchronous transmissions
(steps 1-5). Initialize the SPBRG register
for the appropriate baud rate. If a high-speed baud
rate is desired, set bit BRGH (see Section 16.2
“EUSART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
6. Set the SENDB bit.
7. Load a byte into TXREG. This triggers sending a
Break signal. The Break signal is complete
when TRMT is set. SENDB will also be cleared.
See Figure 16-9 for the timing of the Break signal
sequence.
16.3.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling
location (12 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data
bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 16.3.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,
cause an RCIF interrupt and receive the next data byte
followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit
before placing the EUSART in its Sleep mode.
16.3.6.1 Transmitting a Break Sync
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus master.
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the
Break character.
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode. When the
TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 147
PIC18F1220/1320
16.3.6.2 Receiving a Break Sync
To receive a Break Sync:
1. Configure the EUSART for asynchronous
transmit and receive. TXEN should remain
clear. SPBRGH:SPBRG may be left as is.
2. Enable auto-wake-up. Set WUE.
3. Enable RXIF interrupts. Set RCIE, PEIE, GIE.
4. The controller may be placed in any power
managed mode.
5. An RCIF will be generated at the beginning of
the Break signal. When the interrupt is received,
read RCREG to clear RCIF and discard. Allow
the controller to return to PRI_RUN mode.
6. Wait for the RX line to go high at the end of the
Break signal. Wait for any of the following: WUE
to clear automatically (poll), RB4/RX to go high
(poll) or for RBIF to be set (poll or interrupt). If
RBIF is used, check to be sure that RB4/RX is
high before continuing.
7. Enable Auto-Baud Rate Detect. Set ABDEN.
8. Return from the interrupt. Allow the primary
clock to start and stabilize (PRI_RUN or
PRI_IDLE).
9. When the next RCIF interrupt occurs, the
received baud rate has been measured. Read
RCREG to clear RCIF and discard. Check
SPBRGH:SPBRG for a valid value. The
EUSART is ready for normal communications.
Return from the interrupt. Allow the primary
clock to run (PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE).
10. Process subsequent RCIF interrupts normally
as in asynchronous reception. TXEN should
now be set if transmissions are needed. TXIF
and TXIE may be set if transmit interrupts are
desired. Remain in PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE until
communications are complete. Clear TXEN and
return to step 2.

16.4 EUSART Synchronous Master
Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTA<7>), is set in order to configure the RB1/AN5/
TX/CK/INT1 and RB4/AN6/RX/DT/KBI0 I/O pins to CK
(clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits
the master clock on the CK line. Clock polarity is
selected with the SCKP bit (BAUDCTL<5>); setting
SCKP sets the Idle state on CK as high, while clearing
the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is provided
to support Microwire devices with this module.
16.4.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty
and interrupt bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit, TXIF, will be set, regardless
of the state of enable bit, TXIE and cannot be cleared
in software. It will reset only when new data is loaded
into the TXREG register.
While flag bit, TXIF, indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit,
which is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not
mapped in data memory, so it is not available to the user.
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

16.4.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the
RB4/AN6/RX/DT/KBI0 pin on the falling edge of the
clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit, RCIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

16.5 EUSART Synchronous
Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is
supplied externally at the RB1/AN5/TX/CK/INT1 pin
(instead of being supplied internally in Master mode).
This allows the device to transfer or receive data while
in any low-power mode.
16.5.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
SLAVE TRANSMIT
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical, except in the case of the Sleep
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in the TXREG
register.
c) Flag bit, TXIF, will not be set.
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit, TXIF, will now be
set.
e) If enable bit, TXIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

16.5.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
Idle mode and bit SREN, which is a “don’t care” in
Slave mode.
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be
received while in this low-power mode. Once the word
is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the
RCREG register; if the RCIE enable bit is set, the interrupt
generated will wake the chip from low-power
mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
5. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCIE, was set.
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

17.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has
seven inputs for the PIC18F1220/1320 devices. This
module allows conversion of an analog input signal to
a corresponding 10-bit digital number.
A new feature for the A/D converter is the addition of
programmable acquisition time. This feature allows the
user to select a new channel for conversion and to set
the GO/DONE bit immediately. When the GO/DONE bit
is set, the selected channel is sampled for the programmed
acquisition time before a conversion is actually
started. This removes the firmware overhead that
may have been required to allow for an acquisition
(sampling) period (see Register 17-3 and Section 17.3
“Selecting and Configuring Automatic Acquisition
Time”).
The module has five registers:
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
• A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 17-1,
controls the operation of the A/D module. The
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 17-2, configures
the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2 register,
shown in Register 17-3, configures the A/D clock
source, programmed acquisition time and justification.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(AVDD and AVSS), or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF- pins.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To operate
in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be derived
from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input, or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete,
the result is loaded into the ADRESH/ADRESL
registers, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register) is
cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block
diagram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 17-1.

The value in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/ADRESL
registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on
Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the conversion
is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 17.1
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisition
time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.
To do an A/D Conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit, ADIF, if required.
7. For the next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2,
as required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.

17.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 17-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 17-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
Example 17-1 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time, TACQ. This calculation is
based on the following application system
assumptions:
CHOLD = 120 pF
Rs = 2.5 kΩ
Conversion Error ≤ 1/2 LSb
VDD = 5V → RSS = 7 kΩ
Temperature = 50°C (system max.)
VHOLD = 0V @ time = 0
17.2 A/D VREF+ and VREF- References
If external voltage references are used instead of the
internal AVDD and AVSS sources, the source impedance
of the VREF+ and VREF- voltage sources must be
considered. During acquisition, currents supplied by
these sources are insignificant. However, during
conversion, the A/D module sinks and sources current
through the reference sources.
In order to maintain the A/D accuracy, the voltage
reference source impedances should be kept low to
reduce voltage changes. These voltage changes occur
as reference currents flow through the reference
source impedance. The maximum recommended
impedance of the VREF+ and VREF- external
reference voltage sources is 250Ω.
EQUATION 17-1: ACQUISITION TIME
EQUATION 17-2: A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME
EXAMPLE 17-1: CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME
Note: When the conversion is started, the
holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Holding Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF

17.3 Selecting and Configuring
Automatic Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensuring
the required acquisition time has passed between
selecting the desired input channel and setting the
GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits (ADCON2<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’)
and is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a
programmable acquisition time for the A/D module.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues
to sample the input for the selected acquisition
time, then automatically begins a conversion. Since the
acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need
to wait for an acquisition time between selecting a
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
17.4 Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:
• 2 TOSC
• 4 TOSC
• 8 TOSC
• 16 TOSC
• 32 TOSC
• 64 TOSC
• Internal RC oscillator
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the
minimum TAD (approximately 2 μs, see parameter 130
for more information).
Table 17-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
TABLE 17-1: TAD vs. DEVICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES

Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 4 μs.
2: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 6 μs.
3: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D
accuracy may be out of specification.
4: Low-power devices only.PIC18F1220/1320
DS39605F-page 162 © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
17.5 Operation in Low-Power Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and the
A/D conversion clock is determined, in part, by the lowpower
mode clock source and frequency while in a
low-power mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is
in a low-power mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and
ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the low-power mode clock that will be
used. After the low-power mode is entered (either of
the Run modes), an A/D acquisition or conversion may
be started. Once an acquisition or conversion is
started, the device should continue to be clocked by the
same low-power mode clock source until the conversion
has been completed. If desired, the device may be
placed into the corresponding low-power (ANY)_IDLE
mode during the conversion.
If the low-power mode clock frequency is less than
1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be selected.
Operation in the Low-Power Sleep mode requires the
A/D RC clock to be selected. If bits, ACQT2:ACQT0, are
set to ‘000’ and a conversion is started, the conversion
will be delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution
of the SLEEP instruction and entry to Low-Power Sleep
mode. The IDLEN and SCS bits in the OSCCON register
must have already been cleared prior to starting the
conversion.
17.6 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA and TRISB registers all configure
the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as analog inputs
must have their corresponding TRIS bits set (input). If
the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital output level
(VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured
as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
device’s specification limits.© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 163
PIC18F1220/1320
17.7 A/D Conversions
Figure 17-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits are cleared. A conversion is started after the following
instruction to allow entry into Low-Power Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 17-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4 TAD acquisition
time before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed
A/D conversion sample. This means the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.

17.8 Use of the CCP1 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event
trigger” of the CCP1 module. This requires that the
CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<3:0>) be programmed
as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D acquisition
and conversion and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will
be reset to zero. Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically
repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal
software overhead (moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the
desired location). The appropriate analog input
channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition
period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate
TACQ time selected before the “special event trigger”
sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
“special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D
module, but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3)
counter.

18.0 LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created, where the application software
can do “housekeeping tasks”, before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be
done using the Low-Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry,
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt
vector address and the software can then respond
to that interrupt source.
The Low-Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
software control. This allows the circuitry to be turned
off by the software, which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
Figure 18-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shut down the system. Voltage point VB is the
minimum valid operating voltage specification. This
occurs at time TB. The difference, TB – TA, is the total
time for shutdown.
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 18-2 (following page). A comparator uses an
internally generated reference voltage as the set point.
When the selected tap output of the device voltage
crosses the set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
software programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 18-2). The trip point is selected by
programming the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

FIGURE 18-2: LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT (LVD) BLOCK DIAGRAM
The LVD module has an additional feature that allows
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from
an external source. This mode is enabled when bits,
LVDL3:LVDL0, are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the comparator
input is multiplexed from the external input pin,
LVDIN (Figure 18-3). This gives users flexibility,
because it allows them to configure the Low-Voltage
Detect interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid
operating range.

18.2 Operation
Depending on the power source for the device voltage,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be
constantly operating. To decrease the current requirements,
the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for
short periods, where the voltage is checked. After
doing the check, the LVD module may be disabled.
Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1. Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register), which selects the desired
LVD trip point.
2. Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared).
3. Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
4. Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
5. Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set, until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
6. Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the
GIE bits).
Figure 18-4 shows typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

18.2.1 REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module may
be used by other internal circuitry (the programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low-voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36. The low-voltage
interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 18-4.
18.2.2 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current.
The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple
places in the resistor array. Total current consumption,
when enabled, is specified in electrical specification
parameter D022B.
18.3 Operation During Sleep
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will wakeup
from Sleep. Device execution will continue from the
interrupt vector address if interrupts have been globally
enabled.
18.4 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the LVD module to be turned off. PIC18F1220/1320

19.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18F1220/1320 devices include several features
intended to maximize system reliability, minimize cost
through elimination of external components and offer
code protection. These are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Two-Speed Start-up
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
Several oscillator options are available to allow the part
to fit the application. The RC oscillator option saves
system cost, while the LP crystal option saves power.
These are discussed in detail in Section 2.0 “Oscillator
Configurations”.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, PIC18F1220/1320 devices
have a Watchdog Timer, which is either permanently
enabled via the configuration bits, or software
controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. TwoSpeed
Start-up enables code to be executed almost
immediately on start-up, while the primary clock source
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate configuration register bits.
19.1 Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as
‘0’), or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’), to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped
starting at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using table reads and
table writes.
Programming the configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the Flash memory. The
EECON1 register WR bit starts a self-timed write to the
configuration register. In normal operation mode, a
TBLWT instruction, with the TBLPTR pointing to the
configuration register, sets up the address and the data
for the configuration register write. Setting the WR bit
starts a long write to the configuration register. The configuration
registers are written a byte at a time. To write
or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction can
write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell. For additional details on
Flash programming, refer to Section 6.5 “Writing to
Flash Program Memory”.

When using the Timer1 oscillator, In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) may not
function correctly (high voltage or low voltage), or the In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) may
not communicate with the controller. As a result of using either ICSP or ICD, the
Timer1 crystal may be damaged.
If ICSP or ICD operations are required, the crystal should be disconnected from the
circuit (disconnect either lead) or installed after programming. The oscillator loading
capacitors may remain in-circuit during ICSP or ICD operation. PIC18F1220/1320

19.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18F1220/1320 devices, the WDT is driven by the
INTRC source. When the WDT is enabled, the clock
source is also enabled. The nominal WDT period is 4 ms
and has the same stability as the INTRC oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is selected
by a multiplexer, controlled by bits in Configuration
Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms to
131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and
postscaler are cleared when any of the following events
occur: execute a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the IRCF
bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock failure has
occurred.
Adjustments to the internal oscillator clock period using
the OSCTUNE register also affect the period of the
WDT by the same factor. For example, if the INTRC
period is increased by 3%, then the WDT period is
increased by 3%.
19.2.1 CONTROL REGISTER
Register 19-14 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register, which contains a control
bit that allows software to override the WDT enable
configuration bit, only if the configuration bit has
disabled the WDT.
FIGURE 19-1: WDT BLOCK DIAGRAM

Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when executed.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4>) clears the WDT and
postscaler counts.
3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed

TABLE 19-2: SUMMARY OF WATCHDOG TIMER REGISTERS
19.3 Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC oscillator
as a clock source until the primary clock source is
available. It is enabled by setting the IESO bit in
Configuration Register 1H (CONFIG1H<7>).
Two-Speed Start-up is available only if the primary oscillator
mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL (crystal-based
modes). Other sources do not require an OST start-up
delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up is disabled.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
Because the OSCCON register is cleared on Reset
events, the INTOSC (or postscaler) clock source is not
initially available after a Reset event; the INTRC clock
is used directly at its base frequency. To use a higher
clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC or postscaler
clock sources can be selected to provide a higher clock
speed by setting bits, IFRC2:IFRC0, immediately after
Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the INTOSC or
postscaler clock sources can be selected by setting
IFRC2:IFRC0 prior to entering Sleep mode.
In all other power managed modes, Two-Speed Start-up
is not used. The device will be clocked by the currently
selected clock source until the primary clock source
becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit is
ignored.
19.3.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed Startup,
the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power managed modes, including
serial SLEEP instructions (refer to Section 3.1.3
“Multiple Sleep Commands”). In practice, this means
that user code can change the SCS1:SCS0 bit settings
and issue SLEEP commands before the OST times out.
This would allow an application to briefly wake-up, perform
routine “housekeeping” tasks and return to Sleep
before the device starts to operate from the primary
oscillator.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the system clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the system clock.
Otherwise, the internal oscillator block is providing the
clock during wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

19.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the microcontroller
to continue operation, in the event of an
external oscillator failure, by automatically switching
the system clock to the internal oscillator block. The
FSCM function is enabled by setting the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor Enable bit, FSCM (CONFIG1H<6>).
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide
an instant backup clock in the event of a clock failure.
Clock monitoring (shown in Figure 19-3) is accomplished
by creating a sample clock signal, which is the
INTRC output divided by 64. This allows ample time
between FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock
edge to occur. The peripheral system clock and the
sample clock are presented as inputs to the Clock
Monitor latch (CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of
the system clock source, but cleared on the rising edge
of the sample clock.
FIGURE 19-3: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the sample
clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs while
CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 19-4). This causes the following:
• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);
• the system clock source is switched to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the Fail-Safe
condition); and
• the WDT is reset.
Since the postscaler frequency from the internal oscillator
block may not be sufficiently stable, it may be
desirable to select another clock configuration and
enter an alternate power managed mode (see
Section 19.3.1 “Special Considerations for Using
Two-Speed Start-up” and Section 3.1.3 “Multiple
Sleep Commands” for more details). This can be
done to attempt a partial recovery, or execute a
controlled shutdown.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IFRC2:IFRC0,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting IFRC2:IFRC0 prior to entering Sleep mode.
Adjustments to the internal oscillator block, using the
OSCTUNE register, also affect the period of the FSCM
by the same factor. This can usually be neglected, as
the clock frequency being monitored is generally much
higher than the sample clock frequency.
The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or secondary
clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action
be possible.
19.4.1 FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF2:IRCF0 bits, this may mean a substantial change
in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, Fail-Safe Clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.

19.4.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The Fail-Safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset, or by entering a power managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the
oscillator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The
INTOSC multiplexer provides the system clock until the
primary clock source becomes ready (similar to a TwoSpeed
Start-up). The clock system source is then
switched to the primary clock (indicated by the OSTS
bit in the OSCCON register becoming set). The FailSafe
Clock Monitor then resumes monitoring the
peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain
in its Reset state until a power managed mode is
entered.
Entering a power managed mode by loading the
OSCCON register and executing a SLEEP instruction
will clear the Fail-Safe condition. When the Fail-Safe
condition is cleared, the clock monitor will resume
monitoring the peripheral clock.
19.4.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN POWER
MANAGED MODES
As previously mentioned, entering a power managed
mode clears the Fail-Safe condition. By entering a
power managed mode, the clock multiplexer selects
the clock source selected by the OSCCON register.
Fail-Safe monitoring of the power managed clock
source resumes in the power managed mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, the device will not exit the
power managed mode on oscillator failure. Instead, the
device will continue to operate as before, but clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. While in Idle mode, subsequent
interrupts will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer.
The device will not transition to a different clock
source until the Fail-Safe condition is cleared.

19.4.4 POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or Low-Power Sleep mode. When the primary
system clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat different.
Since the oscillator may require a start-up time
considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock time,
a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent this,
the internal oscillator block is automatically configured
as the system clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed
out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to
its role as the FSCM source
As noted in Section 19.3.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an alternate
power managed mode while waiting for the
primary system clock to become stable. When the new
powered managed mode is selected, the primary clock
is disabled.
Note: The same logic that prevents false oscillator
failure interrupts on POR or wake from
Sleep will also prevent the detection of the
oscillator’s failure to start at all following
these events. This can be avoided by
monitoring the OSTS bit and using a
timing routine to determine if the oscillator
is taking too long to start. Even so, no
oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged. © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39605F-page 185

19.5 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other PIC
devices.
The user program memory is divided into three blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 512 bytes. The remainder
of the memory is divided into two blocks on binary
boundaries.
Each of the three blocks has three protection bits
associated with them. They are:
• Code-Protect bit (CPn)
• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)

19.5.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
The program memory may be read to, or written from,
any location using the table read and table write
instructions. The device ID may be read with table
reads. The configuration registers may be read and
written with the table read and table write instructions.
In normal execution mode, the CPn bits have no direct
effect. CPn bits inhibit external reads and writes. A
block of user memory may be protected from table
writes if the WRTn configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn
bits control table reads. For a block of user memory
with the EBTRn bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction
that executes from within that block is allowed to read.
A table read instruction that executes from a location
outside of that block is not allowed to read and will
result in reading ‘0’s. Figures 19-6 through 19-8
illustrate table write and table read protection.
FIGURE 19-6: TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED: PIC18F1320
Note: Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code protection
bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full Chip
Erase or Block Erase function. The full
Chip Erase and Block Erase functions can
only be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

19.5.2 DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits external writes to data EEPROM. The
CPU can continue to read and write data EEPROM,
regardless of the protection bit settings.
19.5.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The configuration registers can be write-protected. The
WRTC bit controls protection of the configuration
registers. In normal execution mode, the WRTC bit is
readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP or
an external programmer.
19.6 ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are both readable and writable during normal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions,
or during program/verify. The ID locations can be read
when the device is code-protected.
19.7 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F1220/1320 microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed (see Table 19-4).
19.8 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in configuration register,
CONFIG4L, is programmed to a ‘0’, the In-Circuit
Debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows
simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB®
IDE. When the microcontroller has this feature
enabled, some resources are not available for general
use. Table 19-5 shows which resources are required by
the background debugger.
TABLE 19-5: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the
microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit
Serial Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD,
VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip, or one of the
third party development tool companies (see the note following
Section 19.7 “In-Circuit Serial Programming”
for more information). Note: The Timer1 oscillator shares the T1OSI
and T1OSO pins with the PGD and PGC
pins used for programming and
debugging.
When using the Timer1 oscillator, In-Circuit
Serial Programming (ICSP) may not
function correctly (high voltage or low
voltage), or the In-Circuit Debugger (ICD)
may not communicate with the controller.
As a result of using either ICSP or ICD, the
Timer1 crystal may be damaged.
If ICSP or ICD operations are required, the
crystal should be disconnected from the
circuit (disconnect either lead), or installed
after programming. The oscillator loading
capacitors may remain in-circuit during
ICSP or ICD operation.

PIC18F1220/1320
19.9 Low-Voltage ICSP Programming
The LVP bit in configuration register, CONFIG4L,
enables Low-Voltage Programming (LVP). When LVP
is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed
without requiring high voltage being applied to the
MCLR/VPP/RA5 pin, but the RB5/PGM/KBI1 pin is then
dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not
available as a general purpose I/O pin.
LVP is enabled in erased devices.
While programming using LVP, VDD is applied to the
MCLR/VPP/RA5 pin as in normal execution mode. To
enter Programming mode, VDD is applied to the PGM
pin.
If Low-Voltage Programming mode will not be used, the
LVP bit can be cleared and RB5/PGM/KBI1 becomes
available as the digital I/O pin RB5. The LVP bit may be
set or cleared only when using standard high-voltage
programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/VPP/RA5 pin).
Once LVP has been disabled, only the standard highvoltage
programming is available and must be used to
program the device.
Memory that is not code-protected can be erased,
using either a Block Erase, or erased row by row, then
written at any specified VDD. If code-protected memory
is to be erased, a Block Erase is required. If a Block
Erase is to be performed when using Low-Voltage
Programming, the device must be supplied with VDD of
4.5V to 5.5V.
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH
to the MCLR pin.
2: When Low-Voltage Programming is
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be
used as a general purpose I/O pin.
3: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program
execution.PIC18F1220/1320

PIC18F1220/1320
20.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18 instruction set adds many enhancements to
the previous PIC instruction sets, while maintaining an
easy migration from these PIC instruction sets.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(16 bits), but there are three instructions that require
two program memory locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal operations
• Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 20-1 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 20-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result
(specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator ‘d’ specifies where the
result of the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the
result is placed in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the
result is placed in the file register specified in the
instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The bit in the file register
(specified by ‘b’)
3. The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator
‘f’ represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for three
double-word instructions. These three instructions
were made double-word instructions so that all the
required information is available in these 32 bits. In the
second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If this second word
is executed as an instruction (by itself), it will execute
as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true, or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction.
In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles, with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 μs. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.
Figure 20-1 shows the general formats that the
instructions can have.
All examples use the format ‘nnh’ to represent a hexadecimal
number, where ‘h’ signifies a hexadecimal
digit.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 20-1,
lists the instructions recognized by the Microchip
Assembler (MPASMTM). Section 20.2 “Instruction
Set” provides a description of each instruction.
20.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified and
the result is stored according to either the instruction or
the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation is
performed on a register even if the instruction writes to
that register.
For example, a “BCF PORTB,1” instruction will read
PORTB, clear bit 1 of the data, then write the result
back to PORTB. The read operation would have the
unintended result that any condition that sets the RBIF
flag would be cleared. The R-M-W operation may also
copy the level of an input pin to its corresponding output
latch.PIC18F1220/1320

Note 1: When a Port register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that
value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is
driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared
if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP,
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all
program memory locations have a valid instruction.

Note 1: When a Port register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that
value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is
driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared
if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP,
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all
program memory locations have a valid instruction.
5: If the table write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.PIC18F1220/1320

Description: The contents of source register ‘fs’
are moved to destination register
‘fd’. Location of source ‘fs’ can be
anywhere in the 4096-byte data
space (000h to FFFh) and location
of destination ‘fd’ can also be
anywhere from 000h to FFFh.
Either source or destination can be
W (a useful special situation).
MOVFF is particularly useful for
transferring a data memory location
to a peripheral register (such as the
transmit buffer or an I/O port).
The MOVFF instruction cannot use
the PCL, TOSU, TOSH or TOSL as
the destination register.
The MOVFF instruction should not
be used to modify interrupt settings
while any interrupt is enabled (see
page 73).

from precompiled libraries, using directives from a
linker script.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
Pdis = VDD x {IDD – ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP pin, rather
than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.PIC18F1220/1320

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with
the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.
4: Standard low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.PIC18F1220/1320

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with
the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.
4: Standard low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.PIC18F1220/1320

1.1.3 Port B (PB5:PB0)
Port B is a 6-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port B output buffers
have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are
externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

of Port B” on page 60.
On ATtiny25, the programmable I/O ports PB3 and PB4 (pins 2 and 3) are exchanged in ATtiny15 Compatibility
Mode for supporting the backward compatibility with ATtiny15.
1.1.4 RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock
is not running and provided the reset pin has not been disabled. The minimum pulse length is given in Table 21-4
on page 165. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.
The reset pin can also be used as a (weak) I/O pin.ATtiny25/45/85 [DATASHEET] 4
2586QS–AVR–08/2013
2. Overview
The ATtiny25/45/85 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By
executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATtiny25/45/85 achieves throughputs approaching 1
MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
2.1 Block Diagram
Figure 2-1. Block Diagram
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All 32 registers are
directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one
single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving
throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.

2586QS–AVR–08/2013
The ATtiny25/45/85 provides the following features: 2/4/8K bytes of In-System Programmable Flash, 128/256/512
bytes EEPROM, 128/256/256 bytes SRAM, 6 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, one
8-bit Timer/Counter with compare modes, one 8-bit high speed Timer/Counter, Universal Serial Interface, Internal
and External Interrupts, a 4-channel, 10-bit ADC, a programmable Watchdog Timer with internal Oscillator, and
three software selectable power saving modes. Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counter,
ADC, Analog Comparator, and Interrupt system to continue functioning. Power-down mode saves the register contents,
disabling all chip functions until the next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the
CPU and all I/O modules except ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The On-chip ISP Flash
allows the Program memory to be re-programmed In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional
non-volatile memory programmer or by an On-chip boot code running on the AVR core.
The ATtiny25/45/85 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C Compilers,
Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators and Evaluation kits.ATtiny25/45/85 [DATASHEET] 6
2586QS–AVR–08/2013
3. About
3.1 Resources
A comprehensive set of development tools, application notes and datasheets are available for download on
http://www.atmel.com/avr.
3.2 Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the device. These
code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C
compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent.
Please confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
For I/O Registers located in the extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must
be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically, this means “LDS” and “STS” combined
with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”. Note that not all AVR devices include an extended I/O map.
3.3 Capacitive Touch Sensing
Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution for touch sensitive interfaces on Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
The QTouch Library includes support for QTouch® and QMatrix® acquisition methods.
Touch sensing is easily added to any application by linking the QTouch Library and using the Application Programming
Interface (API) of the library to define the touch channels and sensors. The application then calls the API to
retrieve channel information and determine the state of the touch sensor.
The QTouch Library is free and can be downloaded from the Atmel website. For more information and details of
implementation, refer to the QTouch Library User Guide – also available from the Atmel website.
3.4 Data Retention
Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less than 1 PPM over 20
years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.ATtiny25/45/85 [DATASHEET] 7

2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operation the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.ATtiny25/45/85 [DATASHEET] 9

8. Errata
8.1 Errata ATtiny25
The revision letter in this section refers to the revision of the ATtiny25 device.
8.1.1 Rev D – F
No known errata.
8.1.2 Rev B – C
• EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
1. EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
Trying to read EEPROM at low clock frequencies and/or low supply voltage may result in invalid data.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Do not use the EEPROM when clock frequency is below 1MHz and supply voltage is below 2V. If operating frequency
can not be raised above 1MHz then supply voltage should be more than 2V. Similarly, if supply voltage
can not be raised above 2V then operating frequency should be more than 1MHz.
This feature is known to be temperature dependent but it has not been characterised. Guidelines are given for
room temperature, only.
8.1.3 Rev A
Not sampled.
8.2 Errata ATtiny45
The revision letter in this section refers to the revision of the ATtiny45 device.
8.2.1 Rev F – G
No known errata
8.2.2 Rev D – E
• EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
1. EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency

2586QS–AVR–08/2013
8.2.3 Rev B – C
• PLL not locking
• EEPROM read from application code does not work in Lock Bit Mode 3
• EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
• Timer Counter 1 PWM output generation on OC1B- XOC1B does not work correctly
1. PLL not locking
When at frequencies below 6.0 MHz, the PLL will not lock
Problem fix / Workaround
When using the PLL, run at 6.0 MHz or higher.
2. EEPROM read from application code does not work in Lock Bit Mode 3
When the Memory Lock Bits LB2 and LB1 are programmed to mode 3, EEPROM read does not work from the
application code.
Problem Fix/Work around
Do not set Lock Bit Protection Mode 3 when the application code needs to read from EEPROM.
3. EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
Trying to read EEPROM at low clock frequencies and/or low supply voltage may result in invalid data.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Do not use the EEPROM when clock frequency is below 1MHz and supply voltage is below 2V. If operating frequency
can not be raised above 1MHz then supply voltage should be more than 2V. Similarly, if supply voltage
can not be raised above 2V then operating frequency should be more than 1MHz.
This feature is known to be temperature dependent but it has not been characterised. Guidelines are given for
room temperature, only.
4. Timer Counter 1 PWM output generation on OC1B – XOC1B does not work correctly
Timer Counter1 PWM output OC1B-XOC1B does not work correctly. Only in the case when the control bits,
COM1B1 and COM1B0 are in the same mode as COM1A1 and COM1A0, respectively, the OC1B-XOC1B output
works correctly.
Problem Fix/Work around
The only workaround is to use same control setting on COM1A[1:0] and COM1B[1:0] control bits, see table 14-
4 in the data sheet. The problem has been fixed for Tiny45 rev D.
8.2.4 Rev A
• Too high power down power consumption
• DebugWIRE looses communication when single stepping into interrupts
• PLL not locking
• EEPROM read from application code does not work in Lock Bit Mode 3
• EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
1. Too high power down power consumption
Three situations will lead to a too high power down power consumption. These are:
– An external clock is selected by fuses, but the I/O PORT is still enabled as an output.
– The EEPROM is read before entering power down.
– VCC is 4.5 volts or higher.
Problem fix / WorkaroundATtiny25/45/85 [DATASHEET] 21
2586QS–AVR–08/2013
– When using external clock, avoid setting the clock pin as Output.
– Do not read the EEPROM if power down power consumption is important.
– Use VCC lower than 4.5 Volts.
2. DebugWIRE looses communication when single stepping into interrupts
When receiving an interrupt during single stepping, debugwire will loose
communication.
Problem fix / Workaround
– When singlestepping, disable interrupts.
– When debugging interrupts, use breakpoints within the interrupt routine, and run into the interrupt.
3. PLL not locking
When at frequencies below 6.0 MHz, the PLL will not lock
Problem fix / Workaround
When using the PLL, run at 6.0 MHz or higher.
4. EEPROM read from application code does not work in Lock Bit Mode 3
When the Memory Lock Bits LB2 and LB1 are programmed to mode 3, EEPROM read does not work from the
application code.
Problem Fix/Work around
Do not set Lock Bit Protection Mode 3 when the application code needs to read from EEPROM.
5. EEPROM read may fail at low supply voltage / low clock frequency
Trying to read EEPROM at low clock frequencies and/or low supply voltage may result in invalid data.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Do not use the EEPROM when clock frequency is below 1MHz and supply voltage is below 2V. If operating frequency
can not be raised above 1MHz then supply voltage should be more than 2V. Similarly, if supply voltage
can not be raised above 2V then operating frequency should be more than 1MHz.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance
at an economical price – with the addition of
high-endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory.
On top of these features, the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/
4520 family introduces design enhancements that
make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many
high-performance, power sensitive applications.
1.1 New Core Features
1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
family incorporate a range of features that can significantly
reduce power consumption during operation.
Key items include:
• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still
active. In these states, power consumption can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operation requirements.
• On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The powermanaged
modes are invoked by user code during
operation, allowing the user to incorporate
power-saving ideas into their application’s
software design.
• Low Consumption in Key Modules: The
power requirements for both Timer1 and the
Watchdog Timer are minimized. See
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”
for values.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
family offer ten different oscillator options, allowing
users a wide range of choices in developing application
hardware. These include:
• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O)
• Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same
pin options as the External Clock modes
• An internal oscillator block which provides an
8 MHz clock and an INTRC source
(approximately 31 kHz), as well as a range of
6 user-selectable clock frequencies, between
125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a total of 8 clock
frequencies. This option frees the two oscillator
pins for use as additional general purpose I/O.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both the High-Speed Crystal and Internal
Oscillator modes, which allows clock speeds of
up to 40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the
PLL gives users a complete selection of clock
speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without using
an external crystal or clock circuit.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscillator block provides a stable reference source that
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a reference
signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a
clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to
the internal oscillator block, allowing for continued
low-speed operation or a safe application
shutdown.
• Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.

DS39631E-page 8 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
1.2 Other Special Features
• Memory Endurance: The Enhanced Flash cells
for both program memory and data EEPROM are
rated to last for many thousands of erase/write
cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and
1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater
than 40 years.
• Self-Programmability: These devices can write
to their own program memory spaces under
internal software control. By using a bootloader
routine located in the protected Boot Block at the
top of program memory, it becomes possible to
create an application that can update itself in the
field.
• Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2420/
2520/4420/4520 family introduces an optional
extension to the PIC18 instruction set, which adds
8 new instructions and an Indexed Addressing
mode. This extension, enabled as a device configuration
option, has been specifically designed
to optimize re-entrant application code originally
developed in high-level languages, such as C.
• Enhanced CCP Module: In PWM mode, this
module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for
controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.
Other features include auto-shutdown, for disabling
PWM outputs on interrupt, or other select
conditions, and auto-restart to reactivate outputs
once the condition has cleared.
• Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation and provides support for the LIN
bus protocol. Other enhancements include
automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud
Rate Generator for improved resolution. When the
microcontroller is using the internal oscillator
block, the EUSART provides stable operation for
applications that talk to the outside world without
using an external crystal (or its accompanying
power requirement).
• 10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period and
thus, reducing code overhead.
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,
allowing an extended time-out range that is stable
across operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.
1.3 Details on Individual Family
Members
Devices in the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 family are
available in 28-pin and 40/44-pin packages. Block
diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1
and Figure 1-2.
The devices are differentiated from each other in five
ways:
1. Flash program memory (16 Kbytes for
PIC18F2420/4420 devices and 32 Kbytes for
PIC18F2520/4520 devices).
2. A/D channels (10 for 28-pin devices, 13 for
40/44-pin devices).
3. I/O ports (3 bidirectional ports on 28-pin devices,
5 bidirectional ports on 40/44-pin devices).
4. CCP and Enhanced CCP implementation
(28-pin devices have 2 standard CCP
modules, 40/44-pin devices have one standard
CCP module and one ECCP module).
5. Parallel Slave Port (present only on 40/44-pin
devices).
All other features for devices in this family are identical.
These are summarized in Table 1-1.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-2 and
Table 1-3.
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 family are available as
both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard
devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with
an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F2420),
accommodate an operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V.
Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as
PIC18LF2420), function over an extended VDD range
of 2.0V to 5.5V. © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 9

2.0 OSCILLATOR
CONFIGURATIONS
2.1 Oscillator Types
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices can be operated
in ten different oscillator modes. The user can program
the Configuration bits, FOSC<3:0>, in Configuration
Register 1H to select one of these ten modes:
1. LP Low-Power Crystal
2. XT Crystal/Resonator
3. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
4. HSPLL High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
with PLL Enabled
5. RC External Resistor/Capacitor with
FOSC/4 Output on RA6
6. RCIO External Resistor/Capacitor with I/O
on RA6
7. INTIO1 Internal Oscillator with FOSC/4 Output
on RA6 and I/O on RA7
8. INTIO2 Internal Oscillator with I/O on RA6
and RA7
9. EC External Clock with FOSC/4 Output
10. ECIO External Clock with I/O on RA6
2.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic
Resonators
In XT, LP, HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or
ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows
the pin connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut
crystal.
FIGURE 2-1: CRYSTAL/CERAMIC
RESONATOR OPERATION
(XT, LP, HS OR HSPLL
CONFIGURATION)
TABLE 2-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
CERAMIC RESONATORS
Note: Use of a series cut crystal may give a frequency
out of the crystal manufacturer’s
specifications.

Capacitor values are for design guidance only.
Different capacitor values may be required to produce
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test
the performance of the oscillator over the expected
VDD and temperature range for the application.
See the notes following Table 2-2 for additional
information.
Note: When using resonators with frequencies
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode,
rather than XT mode, is recommended.
HS mode may be used at any VDD for
which the controller is rated. If HS is
selected, it is possible that the gain of the
oscillator will overdrive the resonator.
Therefore, a series resistor should be
placed between the OSC2 pin and the
resonator. As a good starting point, the
recommended value of RS is 330Ω.
Note 1: See Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for initial values of
C1 and C2.
2: A series resistor (RS) may be required for AT
strip cut crystals.
3: RF varies with the oscillator mode chosen.

An external clock source may also be connected to the
OSC1 pin in the HS mode, as shown in Figure 2-2.
FIGURE 2-2: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
OPERATION (HS OSC
CONFIGURATION)
2.3 External Clock Input
The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. There is
no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on
Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-3 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.
FIGURE 2-3: EXTERNAL CLOCK
INPUT OPERATION
(EC CONFIGURATION)
The ECIO Oscillator mode functions like the EC mode,
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general
purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections
for the ECIO Oscillator mode.

Capacitor values are for design guidance only.
These capacitors were tested with the crystals listed
below for basic start-up and operation. These values
are not optimized.
Different capacitor values may be required to produce
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test
the performance of the oscillator over the expected
VDD and temperature range for the application.
See the notes following this table for additional
information.
Crystals Used:
32 kHz 4 MHz
25 MHz 10 MHz
1 MHz 20 MHz
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator but also increases the
start-up time.
2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when
using certain ceramic resonators at any
voltage, it may be necessary to use the
HS mode or switch to a crystal oscillator.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external
components.
4: Rs may be required to avoid overdriving
crystals with low drive level specification.
5: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.

2.4 RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several
factors:
• supply voltage
• values of the external resistor (REXT) and
capacitor (CEXT)
• operating temperature
Given the same device, operating voltage and temperature
and component values, there will also be unit-to-unit
frequency variations. These are due to factors such as:
• normal manufacturing variation
• difference in lead frame capacitance between
package types (especially for low CEXT values)
• variations within the tolerance of limits of REXT
and CEXT
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-5 shows how the R/C combination is
connected.
FIGURE 2-5: RC OSCILLATOR MODE
The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-6) functions like
the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an
additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin
becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).
FIGURE 2-6: RCIO OSCILLATOR MODE
2.5 PLL Frequency Multiplier
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
oscillator circuit or to clock the device up to its highest
rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high-frequency crystals or users who require higher
clock speeds from an internal oscillator.
2.5.1 HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS Oscillator
mode for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multiplies
the oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an
internal clock frequency up to 40 MHz. The PLLEN bit
is not available in this oscillator mode.
The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when
the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits are programmed for
HSPLL mode (= 0110).
FIGURE 2-7: PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM (HS
MODE)
2.5.2 PLL AND INTOSC
The PLL is also available to the internal oscillator block
in selected oscillator modes. In this configuration, the
PLL is enabled in software and generates a clock output
of up to 32 MHz. The operation of INTOSC with the
PLL is described in Section 2.6.4 “PLL in INTOSC
Modes”.

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices include an
internal oscillator block which generates two different
clock signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s
clock source. This may eliminate the need
for external oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or
OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source
which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It
also drives a postscaler which can provide a range of
clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC
output is enabled when a clock frequency from 125 kHz
to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.
INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock
source; it is also enabled automatically when any of the
following are enabled:
• Power-up Timer
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Watchdog Timer
• Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 23.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 30).
2.6.1 INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source eliminates
the need for up to two external oscillator pins,
which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct
configurations are available:
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and
output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and
output.
2.6.2 INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.
The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the
INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across
voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected
by changes in INTRC and vice versa.
2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at
the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s application.
This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register
(Register 2-1).
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The
INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within
8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 μs = 256 μs). The
INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execution
continues during this shift. There is no indication
that the shift has occurred.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC
and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the
internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users
to select which internal oscillator provides the clock
source when the 31 kHz frequency option is selected.
This is covered in greater detail in Section 2.7.1
“Oscillator Control Register”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency
multiplier, PLL, in internal oscillator modes.
2.6.4 PLL IN INTOSC MODES
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the internal
oscillator block to produce faster device clock
speeds than are normally possible with an internal
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock
speed of up to 32 MHz.
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through
software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is
used to enable or disable its operation.
The PLL is available when the device is configured to
use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock
source (FOSC<3:0> = 1001 or 1000). Additionally, the
PLL will only function when the selected output frequency
is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111
or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL
is disabled.
The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those internal
oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In all
other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively
unavailable.
2.6.5 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can
affect the controller operation in a variety of ways. It is
possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modifying
the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has no effect
on the INTRC clock source frequency.
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be
made, and in some cases, how large a change is
needed. Three compensation techniques are discussed
in Section 2.6.5.1 “Compensating with the
EUSART”, Section 2.6.5.2 “Compensating with the
Timers” and Section 2.6.5.3 “Compensating with the
CCP Module in Capture Mode”, but other techniques
may be used.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 27
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
2.6.5.1 Compensating with the EUSART
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART
begins to generate framing errors or receives data with
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the device clock frequency is too high. To
adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to
reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors
in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low. To
compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the
clock frequency.
2.6.5.2 Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Timer1 oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator
block is running too fast. To adjust for this, decrement
the OSCTUNE register.
2.6.5.3 Compensating with the CCP Module
in Capture Mode
A CCP module can use free-running Timer1 (or
Timer3), clocked by the internal oscillator block and an
external event with a known period (i.e., AC power frequency).
The time of the first event is captured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use
later. When the second event causes a capture, the
time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the
second event. Since the period of the external event is
known, the time difference between events can be
calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the calculated
time, the internal oscillator block is running too
fast; to compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE register.
If the measured time is much less than the calculated
time, the internal oscillator block is running too slow; to
compensate, increment the OSCTUNE register.

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2420/2520/
4420/4520 family includes a feature that allows the
device clock source to be switched from the main oscillator
to an alternate low-frequency clock source.
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices offer two alternate
clock sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled,
the various power-managed operating modes are
available.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the
External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block.
The particular mode is defined by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration
bits. The details of these modes are covered
earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillators are those external sources
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices offer the Timer1
oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all
power-managed modes, is often the time base for
functions such as a Real-Time Clock (RTC).
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI and RC1/T1OSI
pins. Like the LP Oscillator mode circuit, loading
capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground.
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal
oscillator block is available as a power-managed
mode clock source. The INTRC source is also used as
the clock source for several special features, such as
the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The clock sources for the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
devices are shown in Figure 2-8. See Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for Configuration
register details.

2.7.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full-power
operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the
clock source. The available clock sources are the
primary clock (defined by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration
bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and
the internal oscillator block. The clock source changes
immediately after one or more of the bits is written to,
following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits
are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
(IRCF<2:0>) select the frequency output of the internal
oscillator block to drive the device clock. The choices
are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or
one of the frequencies derived from the INTOSC postscaler
(31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the internal oscillator
block is supplying the device clock, changing the states
of these bits will have an immediate change on the
internal oscillator’s output. On device Resets, the
default output frequency of the internal oscillator block
is set at 1 MHz.
When a nominal output frequency of 31 kHz is selected
(IRCF<2:0> = 000), users may choose which internal
oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the
INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register (OSCTUNE<7>).
Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a 31.25 kHz clock
source by enabling the divide-by-256 output of the
INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC selects INTRC
(nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining
power savings with a very low clock speed. Regardless
of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the
clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer
and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock
source is currently providing the device clock. The
OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) has timed out and the primary clock is providing
the device clock in primary clock modes. The IOFS bit
indicates when the internal oscillator block has stabilized
and is providing the device clock in RC Clock
modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when
the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in
secondary clock modes. In power-managed modes,
only one of these three bits will be set at any time. If
none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the
clock or the internal oscillator block has just started and
is not yet stable.
The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep
mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP
instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0
“Power-Managed Modes”.
2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices contain circuitry
to prevent clock “glitches” when switching between
clock sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs
during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the
sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three to
four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control register
(T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator
is not enabled, then any attempt to select
a secondary clock source will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before
selecting the secondary clock source or a
very long delay may occur while the
Timer1 oscillator starts. PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

2.8 Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated primary
oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin, if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and providing
the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may also
run in all power-managed modes if required to clock
Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the device clock
source. The 31 kHz INTRC output can be used directly
to provide the clock and may be enabled to support
various special features, regardless of the powermanaged
mode (see Section 23.2 “Watchdog Timer
(WDT)”, Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” and
Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and TwoSpeed
Start-up). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be
used directly to clock the device or may be divided
down by the postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled
if the clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.
If Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest
current consumption of the device (only leakage
currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a RealTime
Clock. Other features may be operating that do
not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP slave,
PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that may add
significant current consumption are listed in
Section 26.2 “DC Characteristics”.
2.9 Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers so that no
external Reset circuitry is required for most applications.
The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device power supply is stable under normal
circumstances and the primary clock is operating
and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Section 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 26-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the
PWRTEN Configuration bit.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The
OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the
device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms, following
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the
incoming clock frequency.
There is a delay of interval, TCSD (parameter 38,
Table 26-10), following POR, while the controller
becomes ready to execute instructions. This delay runs
concurrently with any other delays. This may be the
only delay that occurs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO
modes are used as the primary clock source.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices offer a total of
seven operating modes for more efficient powermanagement.
These modes provide a variety of
options for selective power conservation in applications
where resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered
devices).
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
• Run modes
• Idle modes
• Sleep mode
These categories define which portions of the device
are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The Run and
Idle modes may use any of the three available clock
sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator
block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The power-managed modes include several powersaving
features offered on previous PIC® devices. One
is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18
devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1
oscillator in place of the primary oscillator. Also
included is the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices,
where all device clocks are stopped.
3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and the
selection of a clock source. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the
SCS<1:0> bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock
source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources
and affected modules are summarized in Table 3-1.
3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES
The SCS<1:0> bits allow the selection of one of three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
• the primary clock, as defined by the FOSC<3:0>
Configuration bits
• the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)
• the internal oscillator block (for RC modes)
3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source and determine
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are
discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and
Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator select
bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP
instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the desired mode.

3.1.3 CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND STATUS
INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is
the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its
status. They are:
• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)
• IOFS (OSCCON<2>)
• T1RUN (T1CON<6>)
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a
given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is
set, the primary clock is providing the device clock.
When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is
providing a stable 8 MHz clock source to a divider that
actually drives the device clock. When the T1RUN bit is
set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none
of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock
source is clocking the device or the INTOSC source is
not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the
primary clock source by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration
bits, then both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set
when in PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates
that the primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a
stable 8 MHz output. Entering another power-managed
RC mode at the same frequency would clear the OSTS
bit.
3.1.4 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If
another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will
enter the power-managed mode specified by IDLEN at
that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter
the new power-managed mode specified by the new
setting.
3.2 Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock source.
3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execution
mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled (see Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. The IOFS
bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the
primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator
Control Register”).
3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the
option of lower power consumption while still using a
high-accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-1), the primary oscillator
is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and
the OSTS bit is cleared.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN
mode, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked
from the Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is
started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a
clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see
Figure 3-2). When the clock switch is complete, the
T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the
primary clock is providing the clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1
oscillator continues to run.
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SCS<1:0> bits are set to ‘01’, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, device clocks will be delayed until
the oscillator has started. In such situations,
initial oscillator operation is far from
stable and unpredictable operation may
result.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. Advance Information DS39631E-page 35

FIGURE 3-1: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO SEC_RUN MODE
FIGURE 3-2: TRANSITION TIMING FROM SEC_RUN MODE TO PRI_RUN MODE (HSPLL)
3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, the primary clock is
shut down. When using the INTRC source, this mode
provides the best power conservation of all the Run
modes while still executing code. It works well for user
applications which are not highly timing sensitive or do
not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator
block (either INTRC or INTOSC), there are no distinguishable
differences between PRI_RUN and
RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a clock
switch delay will occur during entry to and exit from
RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if the primary clock source
is the internal oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN
mode is not recommended.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’.
Although it is ignored, it is recommended that the SCS0
bit also be cleared; this is to maintain software compatibility
with future devices. When the clock source is
switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-3),
the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared. The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to
immediately change the clock speed.

If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear, the
INTOSC output is not enabled and the IOFS bit will
remain clear; there will be no indication of the current
clock source. The INTRC source is providing the
device clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output), or if INTSRC is set, the
IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output
becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while
the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of
TIOBST.
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will
remain set.
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC
multiplexer while the primary clock is started. When the
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the primary
clock occurs (see Figure 3-4). When the clock
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS
bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device
clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
switch. The INTRC source will continue to run if either
the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
3.3 Sleep Mode
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2420/
2520/4420/4520 devices is identical to the legacy
Sleep mode offered in all other PIC devices. It is
entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on
device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.
This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-5). All
clock source status bits are cleared.
Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the
WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked
until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 3-6), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-Speed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled
(see Section 23.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). In
either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary clock
is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up.
3.4 Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit is set to ‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock
source selected using the SCS<1:0> bits; however, the
CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP
instruction provides a quick method of switching from a
given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue
to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
time-out or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD
(parameter 38, Table 26-10) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,
it resumes with the same clock source for the current
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU
and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT
time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS1:SCS0 bits.

3.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing-sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to “warm-up” or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction.
If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 3-7).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is
required between the wake event and when code
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become ready to execute instructions. After the wakeup,
the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-8).
3.4.2 SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction.
If the device is in another Run mode, set the
IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and
execute SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to
the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut
down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD, following the wake event, the CPU begins executing
code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-8).
FIGURE 3-7: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO IDLE MODE
FIGURE 3-8: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM IDLE TO RUN MODE
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled but not yet
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started. In such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

3.4.3 RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the peripherals
continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows
for controllable power conservation during Idle periods.
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then set
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is
ignored, it is recommended that SCS0 also be cleared;
this is to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF
bits before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer, the
primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the
INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The
IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output
becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST
(parameter 39, Table 26-10). Clocks to the peripherals
continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the
IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was executed
and the INTOSC source was already stable, the
IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and INTSRC
are all clear, the INTOSC output will not be enabled, the
IOFS bit will remain clear and there will be no indication
of the current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay of
TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins
executing code being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer.
The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if either
the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is
triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3
“Sleep Mode” and Section 3.4 “Idle Modes”).
3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.
On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes by interrupt, code
execution branches to the interrupt vector if the GIE/
GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code execution
continues or resumes without branching (see
Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).
A fixed delay of interval TCSD following the wake event
is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This
delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution.
Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle
following this delay.
3.5.2 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the
power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run
Modes” and Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 23.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by
executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the loss of a
currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the
OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the
device clock source.
3.5.3 EXIT BY RESET
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes
ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device
begins executing code. If the internal oscillator block is
the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code
execution depends on both the clock sources before
and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the
new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are
summarized in Table 3-2.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution
as soon as the Reset source has cleared. Execution is
clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer driven by the internal
oscillator block. Execution is clocked by the internal
oscillator block until either the primary clock becomes
ready or a power-managed mode is entered before the
primary clock becomes ready; the primary clock is then
shut down.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
DS39631E-page 40 Advance Information © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source
is not stopped and
• the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,
HS or HSPLL modes.
In these instances, the primary clock source either
does not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO
Oscillator modes). However, a fixed delay of interval
TCSD following the wake event is still required when
leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to
prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

4.0 RESET
The PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices differentiate
between various kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) MCLR Reset during normal operation
c) MCLR Reset during power-managed modes
d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during
execution)
e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)
f) RESET Instruction
g) Stack Full Reset
h) Stack Underflow Reset
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,
POR and BOR and covers the operation of the various
start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in
Section 5.1.2.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.
WDT Resets are covered in Section 23.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 4-1.
4.1 RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON
register (Register 4-1). The lower five bits of the register
indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred. In
most cases, these bits can only be cleared by the event
and must be set by the application after the event. The
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 4.6 “Reset State
of Registers”.
The RCON register also has control bits for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the
BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in
Section 9.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in
Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

Power-on Resets may be detected.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
holding the pin low. These devices have a noise filter in
the MCLR Reset path which detects and ignores small
pulses.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
In PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices, the MCLR
input can be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration
bit. When MCLR is disabled, the pin becomes a digital
input. See Section 10.5 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers” for more information.
4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip
whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This
allows the device to start in the initialized state when
VDD is adequate for operation.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR
pin through a resistor (1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to VDD. This will
eliminate external RC components usually needed to
create a Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for
VDD is specified (parameter D004). For a slow rise
time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).
The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a POR occurs;
it does not change for any other Reset event. POR is
not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event. To capture
multiple events, the user manually resets the bit to ‘1’
in software following any POR.

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices implement a
BOR circuit that provides the user with a number of
configuration and power-saving options. The BOR is
controlled by the BORV<1:0> and BOREN<1:0>
Configuration bits. There are a total of four BOR
configurations which are summarized in Table 4-1.
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV<1:0> bits. If BOR
is enabled (any values of BOREN<1:0>, except ‘00’),
any drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter D005) for
greater than TBOR (parameter 35) will reset the device.
A Reset may or may not occur if VDD falls below VBOR
for less than TBOR. The chip will remain in Brown-out
Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.
If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be invoked after
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be
initialized. Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up
Timer will execute the additional time delay.
BOR and the Power-up Timer (PWRT) are
independently configured. Enabling the Brown-out
Reset does not automatically enable the PWRT.
4.4.1 SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR
When BOREN<1:0> = 01, the BOR can be enabled or
disabled by the user in software. This is done with the
control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>). Setting SBOREN
enables the BOR to function as previously described.
Clearing SBOREN disables the BOR entirely. The
SBOREN bit operates only in this mode; otherwise it is
read as ‘0’.
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its
environment without having to reprogram the device to
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to
tailor device power consumption in software by eliminating
the incremental current that the BOR consumes.
While the BOR current is typically very small, it may
have some impact in low-power applications.
4.4.2 DETECTING BOR
When BOR is enabled, the BOR bit always resets to ‘0’
on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to
determine if a BOR event has occurred just by reading
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This assumes that the POR bit is reset to ‘1’ in software
immediately after any POR event. If BOR is ‘0’ while
POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed that a BOR event
has occurred.
4.4.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE
When BOREN<1:0> = 10, the BOR remains under
hardware control and operates as previously
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,
however, the BOR is automatically disabled. When the
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is
automatically re-enabled.
This mode allows for applications to recover from
brown-out situations, while actively executing code,
when the device requires BOR protection the most. At
the same time, it saves additional power in Sleep mode
by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.
TABLE 4-1: BOR CONFIGURATIONS
Note: Even when BOR is under software control,
the Brown-out Reset voltage level is still
set by the BORV<1:0> Configuration bits;
it cannot be changed in software.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
4.5 Device Reset Timers
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices incorporate three
separate on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on
Reset process. Their main function is to ensure that the
device clock is stable before code is executed. These
timers are:
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• PLL Lock Time-out
4.5.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2420/2520/
4420/4520 devices is an 11-bit counter which uses
the INTRC source as the clock input. This yields an
approximate time interval of 2048 x 32 μs = 65.6 ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in
Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock
and will vary from chip to chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
4.5.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a
1024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit
from most power-managed modes.
4.5.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly different
from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is
used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the
PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL
lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the
oscillator start-up time-out.
4.5.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
1. After the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out
is invoked (if enabled).
2. Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration
and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3,
Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all
depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the
Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in
HS Oscillator mode. Figure 4-3 through Figure 4-6 also
apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For
devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, on
the other hand, there will be no time-out at all.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bringing
MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device
operating in parallel.

4.6 Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal operation.
Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different
Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
Reset.
Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three types of memory in PIC18 enhanced
microcontroller devices:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate busses; this allows for concurrent
access of the two memory spaces. The data
EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as
a peripheral device, since it is addressed and accessed
through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 7.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory”.
5.1 Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
program memory space. Accessing a location between
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a
NOP instruction).
The PIC18F2420 and PIC18F4420 each have 16 Kbytes
of Flash memory and can store up to 8,192 single-word
instructions. The PIC18F2520 and PIC18F4520 each
have 32 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to
16,384 single-word instructions.
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset
vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector
addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory map for PIC18F2420/2520/
4420/4520 devices is shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.1 PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable
and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains
the PC<15:8> bits; it is not directly readable or writable.
Updates to the PCH register are performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes
PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.4.1 “Computed
GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to
a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by 2 to address
sequential instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
5.1.2 RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruction
is executed or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The
PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW
or a RETFIE instruction. PCLATU and PCLATH are not
affected by any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not
part of either program or data space. The Stack Pointer
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stack is readable and writable through the Top-ofStack
(TOS) Special Function Registers. Data can also
be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these
registers.
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack;
the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack; the contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is
full, or has overflowed or underflowed.
5.1.2.1 Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is
readable and writable. A set of three registers,
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack location
pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-2). This
allows users to implement a software stack if necessary.
After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt, the software can read
the pushed value by reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL
registers. These values can be placed on a user-defined
software stack. At return time, the software can return
these values to TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
5.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) contains the Stack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value
of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow
Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bits” for a description of
the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack
Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
5.1.2.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off
the stack without disturbing normal program execution
is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data
or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decrementing
the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed
onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.

DS39631E-page 56 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.1.2.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Configuration Register 4L. When STVREN is set, a full
or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are
cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.
5.1.3 FAST REGISTER STACK
A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return”
option for interrupts. The stack for each register is only
one level deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is
loaded with the current value of the corresponding register
when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All
interrupt sources will push values into the stack registers.
The values in the registers are then loaded back
into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST
instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the
stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from
low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority interrupt occurs
while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the stack register
values stored by the low-priority interrupt will be
overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key
registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the
Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt. If no
interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be
used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers
at the end of a subroutine call. To use the Fast Register
Stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST
instruction must be executed to save the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register Stack. A
RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore
these registers from the Fast Register Stack.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses
the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.
EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
5.1.4 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the
creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables
can be implemented in two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
5.1.4.1 Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 5-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
EXAMPLE 5-2: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
5.1.4.2 Table Reads and Table Writes
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per program
word by using table reads and writes. The Table
Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte address
and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register contains the
data that is read from or written to program memory.
Data is transferred to or from program memory one
byte at a time.
Table read and table write operations are discussed
further in Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle
5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an internal
or external source, is internally divided by four to
generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the instruction
register during Q4. The instruction is decoded and
executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The
clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in
Figure 5-3.
5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take
another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining,
each instruction effectively executes in one
cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to
change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to
complete the instruction (Example 5-3).
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.2.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions
are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain alignment
with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps
of 2 and the LSb will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.1.1
“Program Counter”).
Figure 5-4 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute program
memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries,
the data contained in the instruction is a word
address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-4 shows how the
instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The
offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction set.
FIGURE 5-4: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instructions always has
‘1111’ as its four Most Significant bits; the other 12 bits
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction specifies
a special form of NOP. If the instruction is executed
in proper sequence – immediately after the first word –
the data in the second word is accessed and used by
the instruction sequence. If the first word is skipped for
some reason and the second word is executed by itself,
a NOP is executed instead. This is necessary for cases
when the two-word instruction is preceded by a conditional
instruction that changes the PC. Example 5-4
shows how this works.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
5.3 Data Memory Organization
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data
memory. The memory space is divided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each; PIC18F2420/
2520/4420/4520 devices implement all 16 banks.
Figure 5-5 shows the data memory organization for the
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
subsection.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle, PIC18
devices implement an Access Bank. This is a 256-byte
memory space that provides fast access to SFRs and
the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the
BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank” provides a
detailed description of the Access RAM.
5.3.1 BANK SELECT REGISTER (BSR)
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address does not need to be provided for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accomplished
with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the
memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.
Depending on the instruction, each location can be
addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit
low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a
location’s address; the instruction itself includes the
8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the
BSR are implemented (BSR<3:0>). The upper four bits
are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be
written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by using the
MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory; the 8 bits in the instruction show the location
in the bank and can be thought of as an offset from the
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is
shown in Figure 5-7.
Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h while the BSR
is 0Fh will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be selected, only those banks that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory map in
Figure 5-5 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. This instruction ignores the
BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their target registers.
Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

FIGURE 5-7: USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)
5.3.2 ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit
address allows users to address the entire range of
data memory, it also means that the user must always
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamline access for the most commonly used data
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Access Bank consists of the first 128 bytes of
memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of
memory (80h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This
upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are
mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in
the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear
fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-5).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored entirely.
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to
operate on a data address in a single cycle, without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 80h and
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h
is a good place for data values that the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail
in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
5.3.3 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR
area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.
Note 1: The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to
the registers of the Access Bank.
2: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.

5.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of
data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy
the top half of Bank 15 (F80h to FFFh). A list of these
registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associated
with the “core” device functionality (ALU, Resets
and interrupts) and those related to the peripheral functions.
The Reset and Interrupt registers are described
in their respective chapters, while the ALU’s STATUS
register is described later in this section. Registers
related to the operation of a peripheral feature are
described in the chapter for that peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,
it can be the operand for any instruction.
If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction
that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results
of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS
register is updated according to the instruction performed.
Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as its destination may be different
than intended. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set
the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits
unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF
and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS
register, because these instructions do not affect the Z,
C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.
For other instructions that do not affect Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 24-2 and
Table 24-3.
Note: The C and DC bits operate as the borrow
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

5.4 Data Addressing Modes
While the program memory can be addressed in only
one way – through the program counter – information
in the data memory space can be addressed in several
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
depending on which operands are used and whether or
not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
• Inherent
• Literal
• Direct
• Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in greater detail in Section 5.5.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any
argument at all; they either perform an operation that
globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on
one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
5.4.2 DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and byteoriented
instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in
one of the banks of data RAM (Section 5.3.3 “General
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data
source for the instruction.
The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the address is
interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are
used with the address to determine the complete 12-bit
address of the register. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is
interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank.
Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes
also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destination of the operation’s results is determined
by the destination bit ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are
stored back in the source register, overwriting its original
contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored in
the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
5.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect Addressing allows the user to access a location
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers
(FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read or written
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as
Special Function Registers, they can also be directly
manipulated under program control. This makes FSRs
very useful in implementing data structures, such as
tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with another value. This allows for efficient code, using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 5-5.

(BANK 1) USING INDIRECT
ADDRESSING
Note: The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set are changed
when the PIC18 extended instruction set is
enabled. See Section 5.5 “Data Memory
and the Extended Instruction Set” for
more information.

5.4.3.1 FSR Registers and the INDF
Operand
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of registers:
FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a pair
of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four upper
bits of the FSRnH register are not used so each FSR
pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value that
can address the entire range of the data memory in a
linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve as
pointers to data memory locations.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These
can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are
mapped in the SFR space but are not physically implemented.
Reading or writing to a particular INDF register
actually accesses its corresponding FSR register pair.
A read from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the
address indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that
use the INDF registers as operands actually use the
contents of their corresponding FSR as a pointer to the
instruction’s target. The INDF operand is just a
convenient way of using the pointer.
Because Indirect Addressing uses a full 12-bit address,
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no
effect on determining the target address.
5.4.3.2 FSR Registers and POSTINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
performs a specific action on it stored value. They are:
• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards
• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards
• PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then
uses it in the operation
• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them. Similarly,
accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR value
offset by that in the W register; neither value is actually
changed in the operation. Accessing the other virtual
registers changes the value of the FSR registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, rollovers
of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of
these operations do not change the value of any flags
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).

The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual
registers will not result in successful operations. As a
specific case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains
FE7h, the address of INDF1. Attempts to read the
value of the INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will
return 00h. Attempts to write to INDF1 using INDF0 as
the operand will result in a NOP.
On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to
an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,
the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the
FSR2H:FSR2L.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses indirect addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are generally
permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
5.5 Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifically,
the use of the Access Bank for many of the core
PIC18 instructions is different; this is due to the
introduction of a new addressing mode for the data
memory space.
What does not change is just as important. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.
5.5.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair within Access RAM. Under the proper
conditions, instructions that use the Access Bank – that
is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions –
can invoke a form of Indexed Addressing using an
offset specified in the instruction. This special addressing
mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal
Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0) and
• The file address argument is less than or equal to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the instruction
is not interpreted as the lower byte of an address
(used with the BSR in direct addressing), or as an 8-bit
address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value is
interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer,
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
5.5.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct
Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost
one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set.
Instructions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing
modes are unaffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or include a file address of 60h
or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will
continue to execute as before. A comparison of the different
possible addressing modes when the extended
instruction set is enabled in shown in Figure 5-9.
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-oriented
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.
This is described in more detail in Section 24.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 71

EXAMPLE INSTRUCTION: ADDWF, f, d, a (Opcode: 0010 01da ffff ffff)
When ‘a’ = 0 and f ≥ 60h:
The instruction executes in
Direct Forced mode. ‘f’ is interpreted
as a location in the
Access RAM between 060h
and 0FFh. This is the same as
locations 060h to 07Fh
(Bank 0) and F80h to FFFh
(Bank 15) of data memory.
Locations below 60h are not
available in this addressing
mode.
When ‘a’ = 0 and f ≤ 5Fh:
The instruction executes in
Indexed Literal Offset mode. ‘f’
is interpreted as an offset to the
address value in FSR2. The
two are added together to
obtain the address of the target
register for the instruction. The
address can be anywhere in
the data memory space.
Note that in this mode, the
correct syntax is now:
ADDWF [k], d
where ‘k’ is the same as ‘f’.
When ‘a’ = 1 (all values of f):
The instruction executes in
Direct mode (also known as
Direct Long mode). ‘f’ is interpreted
as a location in one of
the 16 banks of the data
memory space. The bank is
designated by the Bank Select
Register (BSR). The address
can be in any implemented
bank in the data memory
space.

5.5.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effectively changes how the first 96 locations of Access
RAM (00h to 5Fh) are mapped. Rather than containing
just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode
maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined
“window” that can be located anywhere in the data
memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the
lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the
window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2
plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above
5Fh are mapped as previously described (see
Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”). An example of Access
Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in
Figure 5-10.
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to operations
using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations
that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue
to use Direct Addressing as before.
5.6 PIC18 Instruction Execution and
the Extended Instruction Set
Enabling the extended instruction set adds eight
additional commands to the existing PIC18 instruction
set. These instructions are executed as described in

erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 32 bytes at a time. Program memory is
erased in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase
operation may not be issued from user code.
Writing or erasing program memory will cease
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
6.1 Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and places it into the data RAM space.
Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word aligned.

6.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
• EECON1 register
• EECON2 register
• TABLAT register
• TBLPTR registers
6.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control
register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determines if the access will be
a program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be
to the Configuration/Calibration registers or to program
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,
subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). When clear, memory
selection access is determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.

6.2.2 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
6.2.3 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte
within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers
join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to
the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect
the low-order 21 bits.
6.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the five LSbs of the Table
Pointer register (TBLPTR<4:0>) determine which of
the 32 program memory holding registers is written to.
When the timed write to program memory begins (via
the WR bit), the 16 MSbs of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:6>) determine which program memory
block of 32 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)
point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and places it into data RAM. Table
reads from program memory are performed one byte at
a time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array is not
supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller
itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash program
memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.
6.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row
being erased.
2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
• set WREN bit to enable writes;
• set FREE bit to enable the erase.
3. Disable interrupts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The minimum programming block is 16 words or
32 bytes. Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 32 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction may need to be executed
32 times for each programming operation. All of the
table write operations will essentially be short writes
because only the holding registers are written. At the
end of updating the 32 holding registers, the EECON1
register must be written to in order to start the
programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the internal
Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range
of the device.
FIGURE 6-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
6.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Read 64 bytes into RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer register with address being
erased.
4. Execute the row erase procedure.
5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first
byte being written.
6. Write the 32 bytes into the holding registers with
auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
• set WREN to enable byte writes.
8. Disable interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 6 ms to update one
row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required
code is given in Example 6-3.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets and after write operations is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register
does not modify that byte. This means individual
bytes of program memory may be
modified, provided that the change does not
attempt to change any bit from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.
When modifying individual bytes, it is not
necessary to load all 32 holding registers
before executing a write operation.

EXAMPLE 6-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
6.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
6.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and reprogrammed
if needed. If the write operation is interrupted
by a MCLR Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during
normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit
and rewrite the location(s) as needed.
6.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST
SPURIOUS WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to Flash program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be
followed. See Section 23.0 “Special Features of
the CPU” for more detail.

7.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory array,
separate from the data RAM and program memory, that
is used for long-term storage of program data. It is not
directly mapped in either the register file or program
memory space but is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFRs). The EEPROM is
readable and writable during normal operation over the
entire VDD range.
Five SFRs are used to read and write to the data
EEPROM as well as the program memory. They are:
• EECON1
• EECON2
• EEDATA
• EEADR
The data EEPROM allows byte read and write. When
interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds
the 8-bit data for read/write and the EEADR register
holds the address of the EEPROM location being
accessed.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/write
cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the
location and writes the new data (erase-before-write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer; it will
vary with voltage and temperature as well as from chip
to chip. Please refer to parameter D122 (Table 26-1 in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact
limits.
7.1 EEADR Register
The EEADR register is used to address the data
EEPROM for read and write operations. The 8-bit
range of the register can address a memory range of
256 bytes (00h to FFh).
7.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
registers: EECON1 and EECON2. These are the same
registers which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for data and program memory access. Control
bit EEPGD determines if the access will be to program
or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will
access the data EEPROM memory. When set, program
memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the Configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
can be set but not cleared in software. It is only cleared
in hardware at the completion of the write operation.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
The EECON2 register is not a physical register. It is
used exclusively in the memory write and erase
sequences. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
Note: During normal operation, the WRERR
may read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a
write operation was prematurely terminated
by a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR2<4>) is set
when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

7.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD control
bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit, RD
(EECON1<0>). The data is available on the very next
instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can
be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this
value until another read operation, or until it is written to
by the user (during a write operation).
The basic process is shown in Example 7-1.

To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADR register and the data
written to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code execution
(i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag
bit, EEIF, is set. The user may either enable this
interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by
software.
7.5 Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

7.6 Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
Configuration Words. External read and write
operations are disabled if code protection is enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
7.7 Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the user may not want to write
to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against spurious
EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have been
implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared. In
addition, writes to the EEPROM are blocked during the
Power-up Timer period (TPWRT, parameter 33).
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch or software malfunction.
7.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte
addressable array that has been optimized for the
storage of frequently changing information (e.g.,
program variables or other data that are updated
often). Frequently changing values will typically be
updated more often than specification D124. If this is
not the case, an array refresh must be performed. For
this reason, variables that change infrequently (such as
constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in
Flash program memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.
EXAMPLE 7-3: DATA EEPROM REFRESH ROUTINE
Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store
constants and/or data that changes rarely,
an array refresh is likely not required. See
specification D124.

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1 Introduction
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applications
previously reserved for digital signal processors.
A comparison of various hardware and software
multiply operations, along with the savings in memory
and execution time, is shown in Table 8-1.
8.2 Operation
Example 8-1 shows the instruction sequence for an 8 x 8
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG register.
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is
tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
9.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices have
multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority
feature that allows most interrupt sources to be
assigned a high-priority level or a low-priority level. The
high-priority interrupt vector is at 0008h and the lowpriority
interrupt vector is at 0018h. High-priority
interrupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts
that may be in progress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
• RCON
• INTCON
• INTCON2
• INTCON3
• PIR1, PIR2
• PIE1, PIE2
• IPR1, IPR2
It is recommended that the Microchip header files supplied
with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts
globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).
Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority).
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will vector
immediately to address 0008h or 0018h, depending
on the priority bit setting. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® mid-range devices. In Compatibility
mode, the interrupt priority bits for each source
have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit, which
enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
0008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a lowpriority
interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not
processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

9.1 INTCON Registers
The INTCON registers are readable and writable
registers, which contain various enable, priority and
flag bits.
Note: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit. User software should ensure
the appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear
prior to enabling an interrupt. This feature
allows for software polling.

9.2 PIR Registers
The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are two Peripheral Interrupt
Request Flag registers (PIR1 and PIR2).
Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>).
2: User software should ensure the appropriate
interrupt flag bits are cleared prior to
enabling an interrupt and after servicing
that interrupt.

The RCON register contains flag bits which are used to
determine the cause of the last Reset or wake-up from
Idle or Sleep modes. RCON also contains the IPEN bit

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
9.6 INTx Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 pins are edge-triggered. If the corresponding
INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the
interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if the bit is clear,
the trigger is on the falling edge. When a valid edge
appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding flag
bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxIE. Flag bit,
INTxIF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wakeup
the processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit INTxIE
was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will
branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value contained in the Interrupt Priority bits, INT1IP
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There
is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a
high-priority interrupt source.
9.7 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the
TMR0 register (FFh → 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register
pair (FFFFh → 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for Timer0 is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 11.0
“Timer0 Module” for further details on the Timer0
module.
9.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
9.9 Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the Fast Return Stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 5.3
“Data Memory Organization”), the user may need to
save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry
to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the
user’s application, other registers may also need to be
saved. Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.

10.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
• TRIS register (Data Direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (Data Latch register)
The Data Latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modifywrite
operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 10-1.
FIGURE 10-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
10.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.
The Data Latch (LATA) register is also memory mapped.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read
and write the latched output value for PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to
become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and
RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they
are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of
the main oscillator in the Configuration register (see
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When
they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their
associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the comparator
voltage reference output. The operation of pins
RA<3:0> and RA5 as A/D Converter inputs is selected
by clearing or setting the control bits in the ADCON1
register (A/D Control Register 1).
Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator
inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the
CMCON register. To use RA<3:0> as digital inputs, it is
also necessary to turn off the comparators.
The RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin is a Schmitt Trigger input.
All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full
CMOS output drivers.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

10.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.
EXAMPLE 10-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) have an interrupton-change
feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB<7:4> pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change
comparison). The input pins (of RB<7:4>)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB<7:4>
are ORed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from the Sleep
mode, or any of the Idle modes. The user, in the
Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the
following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).
b) Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
RB3 can be configured by the Configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the alternate peripheral pin for the CCP2
module (CCP2MX = 0).
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB<4:0> are
configured as analog inputs by default and
read as ‘0’; RB<7:5> are configured as
digital inputs.
By programming the Configuration bit,
PBADEN, RB<4:0> will alternatively be
configured as digital inputs on POR.

10.3 PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 10-5). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
RC1 is normally configured by Configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the CCP2
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for additional information.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

10.4 PORTD, TRISD and LATD
Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISD. Setting a
TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTD pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt Trigger
input buffers. Each pin is individually configurable
as an input or output.
Three of the PORTD pins are multiplexed with outputs
P1B, P1C and P1D of the Enhanced CCP module. The
operation of these additional PWM output pins is
covered in greater detail in Section 16.0 “Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) Module”.
PORTD can also be configured as an 8-bit wide microprocessor
port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control
bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input
buffers are TTL. See Section 10.6 “Parallel Slave
Port” for additional information on the Parallel Slave
Port (PSP).
EXAMPLE 10-4: INITIALIZING PORTD
Note: PORTD is only available on 40/44-pin
devices.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
Note: When the enhanced PWM mode is used
with either dual or quad outputs, the PSP
functions of PORTD are automatically
disabled.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
10.5 PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
Depending on the particular PIC18F2420/2520/4420/
4520 device selected, PORTE is implemented in two
different ways.
For 40/44-pin devices, PORTE is a 4-bit wide port.
Three pins (RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/
AN7) are individually configurable as inputs or outputs.
These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When
selected as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit
(= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output
(i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected
pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
The upper four bits of the TRISE register also control
the operation of the Parallel Slave Port. Their operation
is explained in Register 10-1.
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTE.
The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE Configuration
bit. When selected as a port pin (MCLRE = 0),
it functions as a digital input only pin; as such, it does not
have TRIS or LAT bits associated with its operation.
Otherwise, it functions as the device’s Master Clear
input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as the
programming voltage input during programming.
EXAMPLE 10-5: INITIALIZING PORTE
10.5.1 PORTE IN 28-PIN DEVICES
For 28-pin devices, PORTE is only available when
Master Clear functionality is disabled (MCLRE = 0). In
these cases, PORTE is a single bit, input only port comprised
of RE3 only. The pin operates as previously
described.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE<2:0> are
configured as analog inputs.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE3 is enabled as
a digital input only if Master Clear
functionality is disabled.

10.6 Parallel Slave Port
In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD
can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port
(PSP) or microprocessor port. PSP operation is controlled
by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register
(Register 10-1). Setting control bit, PSPMODE
(TRISE<4>), enables PSP operation as long as the
Enhanced CCP module is not operating in dual output
or quad output PWM mode. In Slave mode, the port is
asynchronously readable and writable by the external
world.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor
data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting
the control bit, PSPMODE, enables the PORTE I/O
pins to become control inputs for the microprocessor
port. When set, port pin RE0 is the RD input, RE1 is the
WR input and RE2 is the CS (Chip Select) input. For
this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits
of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured
as inputs (set). The A/D port configuration bits,
PFCG<3:0> (ADCON1<3:0>), must also be set to a
value in the range of ‘1010’ through ‘1111’.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detected high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits are both set
when the write ends.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the OBF bit is clear. If the user writes new data
to PORTD to set OBF, the data is immediately read out;
however, the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the
PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit
is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to be set
before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action
taken.
The timing for the control signals in Write and Read
modes is shown in Figure 10-3 and Figure 10-4,
respectively.

11.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module incorporates the following features:
• Software selectable operation as a timer or
counter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes
• Readable and writable registers
• Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable
prescaler
• Selectable clock source (internal or external)
• Edge select for external clock
• Interrupt-on-overflow
The T0CON register (Register 11-1) controls all
aspects of the module’s operation, including the
prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.
A simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 8-bit
mode is shown in Figure 11-1. Figure 11-2 shows a
simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 16-bit
mode.

11.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the
mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In
Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on
every clock by default unless a different prescaler value
is selected (see Section 11.3 “Prescaler”). If the
TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited
for the following two instruction cycles. The user can
work around this by writing an adjusted value to the
TMR0 register.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing
edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit selects
the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input
are discussed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure
that the external clock can be synchronized with the
internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the
timer/counter.
11.2 Timer0 Reads and Writes in
16-Bit Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode; it is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0 which is not directly readable nor writable
(refer to Figure 11-2). TMR0H is updated with the
contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high
and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0
to be updated at once.

11.3 Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable;
its value is set by the PSA and T0PS<2:0> bits
(T0CON<3:0>) which determine the prescaler
assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values
from 1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-2 increments are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.
11.3.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution.
11.4 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets
the TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by
clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before reenabling
the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be cleared
in software by the Interrupt Service Routine.
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

12.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these
features:
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Reset on CCP Special Event Trigger
• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)
A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is
shown in Figure 12-1. A block diagram of the module’s
operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 12-2.
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 12-1). It also contains the Timer1
Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

12.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• Timer
• Synchronous Counter
• Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR1CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction
cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer1 increments
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/
T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs. This means the
values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as ‘0’.

12.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, has
become invalid due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.
12.3 Timer1 Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated
between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier output).
It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator Enable
bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a lowpower
circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will continue to
run during all power-managed modes. The circuit for a
typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 12-3. Table 12-1
shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.
FIGURE 12-3: EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
FOR THE TIMER1 LP
OSCILLATOR
TABLE 12-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
THE TIMER OSCILLATOR
12.3.1 USING TIMER1 AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source
in power-managed modes. By setting the clock select
bits, SCS<1:0> (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’, the device
switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU and
peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the
IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP
instruction is executed, the device enters SEC_IDLE
mode. Additional details are available in Section 3.0
“Power-Managed Modes”.
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN
(T1CON<6>), is set. This can be used to determine the
controller’s current clocking mode. It can also indicate
the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling
the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being
provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.
12.3.2 LOW-POWER TIMER1 OPTION
The Timer1 oscillator can operate at two distinct levels
of power consumption based on device configuration.
When the LPT1OSC Configuration bit is set, the Timer1
oscillator operates in a low-power mode. When
LPT1OSC is not set, Timer1 operates at a higher power
level. Power consumption for a particular mode is
relatively constant, regardless of the device’s operating
mode. The default Timer1 configuration is the higher
power mode.
As the low-power Timer1 mode tends to be more
sensitive to interference, high noise environments may
cause some oscillator instability. The low-power option
is, therefore, best suited for low noise applications
where power conservation is an important design
consideration.
Note: See the Notes with Table 12-1 for additional
information about capacitor selection.

12.3.3 TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator
(such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as
shown in Figure 12-4, may be helpful when used on a
single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.
FIGURE 12-4: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
WITH GROUNDED
GUARD RING
12.4 Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled
by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,
TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
12.5 Resetting Timer1 Using the CCP
Special Event Trigger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use
Timer1 and generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare
mode (CCP1M<3:0> or CCP2M<3:0> = 1011),
this signal will reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will
also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is
enabled (see Section 15.3.4 “Special Event Trigger”
for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or a
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer1.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger, the write operation will take
precedence.
12.6 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the
one described in Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”)
gives users the option to include RTC functionality to
their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1
register pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by
one; additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented as the previous counter overflow.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload
it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
12.7 Considerations in Asynchronous
Counter Mode
Following a Timer1 interrupt and an update to the
TMR1 registers, the Timer1 module uses a falling edge
on its clock source to trigger the next register update on
the rising edge. If the update is completed after the
clock input has fallen, the next rising edge will not be
counted.
If the application can reliably update TMR1 before the
timer input goes low, no additional action is needed.
Otherwise, an adjusted update can be performed
following a later Timer1 increment. This can be done by
monitoring TMR1L within the interrupt routine until it
increments, and then updating the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair while the clock is low, or one-half of the
period of the clock source. Assuming that Timer1 is
being used as a Real-Time Clock, the clock source is a
32.768 kHz crystal oscillator; in this case, one half
period of the clock is 15.25 μs.
The Real-Time Clock application code in Example 12-1
shows a typical ISR for Timer1, as well as the optional
code required if the update cannot be done reliably
within the required interval.

13.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module timer incorporates the following
features:
• 8-Bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
respectively)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4
and 1:16)
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through
1:16)
• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP
module
The module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 13-1), which enables or disables the timer
and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2
can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 13-1.
13.1 Timer2 Operation
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-
16 prescale options; these are selected by the prescaler
control bits, T2CKPS<1:0> (T2CON<1:0>). The value of
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the comparator
generates a match signal as the timer output.
This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h on the
next cycle and drives the output counter/postscaler (see
Section 13.2 “Timer2 Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

DS39631E-page 134 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
13.2 Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 also can generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) provides
the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.
This counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag
which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). The interrupt is
enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0> (T2CON<6:3>).
13.3 Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can optionally be used as the shift clock source
for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode. Additional
information is provided in Section 17.0 “Master
Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.

14.0 TIMER3 MODULE
The Timer3 module timer/counter incorporates these
features:
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR3H
and TMR3L)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Module Reset on CCP Special Event Trigger
A simplified block diagram of the Timer3 module is
shown in Figure 14-1. A block diagram of the module’s
operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 14-2.
The Timer3 module is controlled through the T3CON
register (Register 14-1). It also selects the clock source
options for the CCP modules (see Section 15.1.1
“CCP Modules and Timer Resources” for more
information).

14.1 Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:
• Timer
• Synchronous Counter
• Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction
cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer3 increments
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
As with Timer1, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/
T13CKI pins become inputs when the Timer1 oscillator
is enabled. This means the values of TRISC<1:0> are
ignored and the pins are read as ‘0’.

14.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 14-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T3CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR3H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3. A read
from TMR3L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This
provides the user with the ability to accurately read all
16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether
a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low
byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between
reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place
through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.
14.3 Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the
Timer3 Clock Source
The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock
source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. To use it as the
Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.
As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to
increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 12.0
“Timer1 Module”.
14.4 Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
14.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the CCP
Special Event Trigger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer3
and to generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare
mode (CCP1M<3:0> or CCP2M<3:0> = 1011), this
signal will reset Timer3. It will also start an A/D conversion
if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 15.3.4
“Special Event Trigger” for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer3.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger from a CCP module, the write will
take precedence.

15.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices all have two
CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules. Each module
contains a 16-bit register which can operate as a 16-bit
Capture register, a 16-bit Compare register or a PWM
Master/Slave Duty Cycle register.
In 28-pin devices, the two standard CCP modules (CCP1
and CCP2) operate as described in this chapter. In 40/
44-pin devices, CCP1 is implemented as an Enhanced
CCP module with standard Capture and Compare
modes and Enhanced PWM modes. The ECCP implementation
is discussed in Section 16.0 “Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) Module”.
The capture and compare operations described in this
chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP
modules.
Note: Throughout this section and Section 16.0
“Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP)
Module”, references to the register and bit
names for CCP modules are referred to generically
by the use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the
specific module number. Thus, “CCPxCON”
might refer to the control register for CCP1,
CCP2 or ECCP1. “CCPxCON” is used
throughout these sections to refer to the module
control register, regardless of whether the
CCP module is a standard or enhanced
implementation.

15.1 CCP Module Configuration
Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated
with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a
data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)
and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both
readable and writable.
15.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending
on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available
to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while
Timer2 is available for modules in PWM mode.
TABLE 15-1: CCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer to CCP enable bits in the
T3CON register (Register 14-1). Both modules may be
active at any given time and may share the same timer
resource if they are configured to operate in the same
mode (Capture/Compare or PWM) at the same time. The
interactions between the two modules are summarized in
Figure 15-1 and Figure 15-2. In Timer1 in Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation will not work.
15.1.2 CCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT
The pin assignment for CCP2 (Capture input, Compare
and PWM output) can change, based on device configuration.
The CCP2MX Configuration bit determines
which pin CCP2 is multiplexed to. By default, it is
assigned to RC1 (CCP2MX = 1). If the Configuration bit
is cleared, CCP2 is multiplexed with RB3.
Changing the pin assignment of CCP2 does not automatically
change any requirements for configuring the
port pin. Users must always verify that the appropriate
TRIS register is configured correctly for CCP2
operation, regardless of where it is located.

can also be done. Operation of CCP1 could be affected if it is using the same timer as a
time base.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
15.2 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3 register
when an event occurs on the corresponding CCPx pin.
An event is defined as one of the following:
• every falling edge
• every rising edge
• every 4th rising edge
• every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM<3:0> (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture is
made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register CCPRx is read, the old
captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.
15.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
15.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the capture operation will not work. The timer to be
used with each CCP module is selected in the T3CON
register (see Section 15.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer
Resources”).
15.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false interrupts.
The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be
cleared following any such change in operating mode.
15.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). Whenever the
CCP module is turned off, or Capture mode is disabled,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 15-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

15.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCPx pin
can be:
• driven high
• driven low
• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
• remain unchanged (that is, reflects the state of the
I/O latch)
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
15.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
15.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
15.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the corresponding CCPx pin is
not affected. A CCP interrupt is generated when the
CCPxIF interrupt flag is set while the CCPxIE bit is set.
15.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011).
For either CCP module, the Special Event Trigger resets
the Timer register pair for whichever timer resource is
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programmable
Period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger for CCP2 can also start an
A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D Converter
must already be enabled.
FIGURE 15-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force
the RB3 or RC1 compare output latch
(depending on device configuration) to the
default low level. This is not the PORTB or

15.4 PWM Mode
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP2 pin is multiplexed with a PORTB or PORTC
data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to
make the CCP2 pin an output.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 15.4.4
“Setup for PWM Operation”.
FIGURE 15-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
A PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 15-4: PWM OUTPUT
15.4.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 15-1:
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCPx pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCPx pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH
15.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> bits contain
the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
EQUATION 15-2:
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPRxH until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPRxH is a read-only register.
Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force
the RB3 or RC1 output latch (depending on
device configuration) to the default low
level. This is not the PORTB or PORTC I/O
data latch.

(CCP1 ONLY)
The PWM auto-shutdown features of the Enhanced CCP
module are also available to CCP1 in 28-pin devices. The
operation of this feature is discussed in detail in
Section 16.4.7 “Enhanced PWM Auto-Shutdown”.
Auto-shutdown features are not available for CCP2.
15.4.4 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2
register.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPRxL register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCPx pin an output by clearing the
appropriate TRIS bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value, then enable
Timer2 by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCPx module for PWM operation.
Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCPx pin will not be
cleared.

16.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/
COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)
MODULE
In PIC18F4420/4520 devices, CCP1 is implemented as
a standard CCP module with Enhanced PWM
capabilities. These include the provision for 2 or 4 output
channels, user-selectable polarity, dead-band control
and automatic shutdown and restart. The enhanced
features are discussed in detail in Section 16.4
“Enhanced PWM Mode”. Capture, Compare and
single output PWM functions of the ECCP module are
the same as described for the standard CCP module.
The control register for the Enhanced CCP module is
shown in Register 16-2. It differs from the CCPxCON
registers in PIC18F2420/2520 devices in that the two
Most Significant bits are implemented to control PWM
functionality.
Note: The ECCP module is implemented only in
40/44-pin devices.

In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCP1CON register and ECCP1AS
register, the ECCP module has an additional register
associated with Enhanced PWM operation and
auto-shutdown features. It is:
• PWM1CON (PWM Dead-Band Delay)
16.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are
multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTC and PORTD. The
outputs that are active depend on the CCP operating
mode selected. The pin assignments are summarized
in Table 16-1.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selected by setting the P1M<1:0>
and CCP1M<3:0> bits. The appropriate TRISC and
TRISD direction bits for the port pins must also be set
as outputs.
16.1.1 ECCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP module can
utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending on the mode
selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 is available
for modules in PWM mode. Interactions between
the standard and Enhanced CCP modules are identical
to those described for standard CCP modules.
Additional details on timer resources are provided in
Section 15.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer
Resources”.
16.2 Capture and Compare Modes
Except for the operation of the Special Event Trigger
discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of
the ECCP module are identical in operation to that of
CCP2. These are discussed in detail in Section 15.2
“Capture Mode” and Section 15.3 “Compare
Mode”. No changes are required when moving
between 28-pin and 40/44-pin devices.
16.2.1 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The Special Event Trigger output of ECCP resets the
TMR1 or TMR3 register pair, depending on which timer
resource is currently selected. This allows the CCPR1
register to effectively be a 16-Bit Programmable Period
register for Timer1 or Timer3.
16.3 Standard PWM Mode
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP
module functions identically to the standard CCP
module in PWM mode, as described in Section 15.4
“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as
“Compatible CCP” mode, as in Table 16-1.
TABLE 16-1: PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR VARIOUS ECCP MODES
Note: When setting up single output PWM
operations, users are free to use either of
the processes described in Section 15.4.4
“Setup for PWM Operation” or
Section 16.4.9 “Setup for PWM Operation”.
The latter is more generic and will
work for either single or multi-output PWM.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
16.4 Enhanced PWM Mode
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM
output options for a broader range of control applications.
The module is a backward compatible version of
the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,
designated P1A through P1D. Users are also able to
select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or
active-low). The module’s output mode and polarity are
configured by setting the P1M<1:0> and CCP1M<3:0>
bits of the CCP1CON register.
Figure 16-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to prevent
glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is the
PWM Dead-Band Delay register, PWM1CON, which is
loaded at either the duty cycle boundary or the period
boundary (whichever comes first). Because of the buffering,
the module waits until the assigned timer resets
instead of starting immediately. This means that
Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the
standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by
one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).
As before, the user must manually configure the
appropriate TRIS bits for output.
16.4.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following equation.
EQUATION 16-1:
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When
TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur
on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the
CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
FIGURE 16-1: SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODULE
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0
“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.

16.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> bits contain
the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the following equation.
EQUATION 16-2:
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not copied into
CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H
is a read-only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or two bits
of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared. The
maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the following equation.
EQUATION 16-3:
16.4.3 PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The P1M<1:0> bits in the CCP1CON register allow one
of four configurations:
• Single Output
• Half-Bridge Output
• Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode
• Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode
The Single Output mode is the standard PWM mode
discussed in Section 16.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.
The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are
covered in detail in the sections that follow.
The general relationship of the outputs in all
configurations is summarized in Figure 16-2 and
Figure 16-3.

16.4.4 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as
outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal
is output on the P1A pin, while the complementary PWM
output signal is output on the P1B pin (Figure 16-4). This
mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as shown
in Figure 16-5, or for full-bridge applications where four
power switches are being modulated with two PWM
signals.
In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable deadband
delay can be used to prevent shoot-through
current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits,
PDC<6:0>, sets the number of instruction cycles before
the output is driven active. If the value is greater than
the duty cycle, the corresponding output remains
inactive during the entire cycle. See Section 16.4.6
“Programmable Dead-Band Delay” for more details
of the dead-band delay operations.
Since the P1A and P1B outputs are multiplexed with
the PORTC<2> and PORTD<5> data latches, the
TRISC<2> and TRISD<5> bits must be cleared to
configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

16.4.5 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as
outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.
In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active
and pin P1D is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin
P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.
These are illustrated in Figure 16-6.
P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D outputs are multiplexed with
the PORTC<2> and PORTD<7:5> data latches. The
TRISC<2> and TRISD<7:5> bits must be cleared to
make the P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D pins outputs.

FIGURE 16-7: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE OUTPUT MODE APPLICATION
16.4.5.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the
CCP1CON register allows user to control the forward/
reverse direction. When the application firmware
changes this direction control bit, the module will
assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their
inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.
This occurs in a time interval of 4 TOSC * (Timer2
Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depending
on the value of the T2CKPS<1:0> bits
(T2CON<1:0>). During the interval from the switch of
the unmodulated outputs to the beginning of the next
period, the modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain
inactive. This relationship is shown in Figure 16-8.
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the CCP1
module does not provide any dead-band delay. In general,
since only one output is modulated at all times,
dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a
situation where a dead-band delay might be required.
This situation occurs when both of the following
conditions are true:
1. The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
Figure 16-9 shows an example where the PWM
direction changes from forward to reverse at a near
100% duty cycle. At time t1, the outputs P1A and P1D
become inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In
this example, since the turn-off time of the power
devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through
current may flow through power devices, QC and QD
(see Figure 16-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must be met:
1. Reduce PWM for a PWM period before
changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

16.4.6 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY
In half-bridge applications where all power switches are
modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the
power switches normally require more time to turn off
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power
switches are switched at the same time (one turned on
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for
a short period of time until one switch completely turns
off. During this brief interval, a very high current (shootthrough
current) may flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from flowing
during switching, turning on either of the power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
current from destroying the bridge power switches. The
delay occurs at the signal transition from the nonactive
state to the active state (see Figure 16-4 for illustration).
Bits, PDC<6:0>, of the PWM1CON register
(Register 16-2) set the delay period in terms of microcontroller
instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC). These bits
are not available on 28-pin devices as the standard CCP
module does not support half-bridge operation.
16.4.7 ENHANCED PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN
When the CCP1 is programmed for any of the Enhanced
PWM modes, the active output pins may be configured
for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately places
the Enhanced PWM output pins into a defined shutdown
state when a shutdown event occurs.
A shutdown event can be caused by either of the
comparator modules, a low level on the Fault input pin
(FLT0) or any combination of these three sources. The
comparators may be used to monitor a voltage input
proportional to a current being monitored in the bridge
circuit. If the voltage exceeds a threshold, the
comparator switches state and triggers a shutdown.
Alternatively, a low digital signal on FLT0 can also trigger
a shutdown. The auto-shutdown feature can be disabled
by not selecting any auto-shutdown sources. The autoshutdown
sources to be used are selected using the
ECCPAS<2:0> bits (ECCP1AS<6:4>).
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,
specified by the PSSAC<1:0> and PSSBD<1:0> bits
(ECCPAS<2:0>). Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/
P1D) may be set to drive high, drive low or be tri-stated
(not driving). The ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>) is also
set to hold the Enhanced PWM outputs in their
shutdown states.
The ECCPASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown
event occurs. If automatic restarts are not enabled, the
ECCPASE bit is cleared by firmware when the cause of
the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,
the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared when the
cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.
If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that
entire PWM period. When the ECCPASE bit is cleared,
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the
beginning of the next PWM period.
Note: Programmable dead-band delay is not
implemented in 28-pin devices with
standard CCP modules.
Note: Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled
while a shutdown condition is active.

16.4.7.1 Auto-Shutdown and Automatic
Restart
The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow
automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown
event. This is enabled by setting the PRSEN bit of the
PWM1CON register (PWM1CON<7>).
In Shutdown mode with PRSEN = 1 (Figure 16-10), the
ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause
of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown condition
clears, the ECCPASE bit is cleared. If PRSEN = 0
(Figure 16-11), once a shutdown condition occurs, the
ECCPASE bit will remain set until it is cleared by firmware.
Once ECCPASE is cleared, the Enhanced PWM
will resume at the beginning of the next PWM period.
Independent of the PRSEN bit setting, if the autoshutdown
source is one of the comparators, the
shutdown condition is a level. The ECCPASE bit
cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown
persists.
The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’
to the ECCPASE bit.
16.4.8 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When the ECCP module is used in the PWM mode, the
application hardware must use the proper external pullup
and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
When the microcontroller is released from Reset, all of
the I/O pins are in the high-impedance state. The
external circuits must keep the power switch devices in
the OFF state until the microcontroller drives the I/O
pins with the proper signal levels or activates the PWM
output(s).
The CCP1M<1:0> bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow the
user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are
configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configuration
while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is
not recommended, since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.
Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as
the ECCP module may cause damage to the application
circuit. The ECCP module must be enabled in the
proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle
before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The completion
of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF
bit being set as the second PWM period begins.

16.4.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCP module for PWM operation:
1. Configure the PWM pins, P1A and P1B (and
P1C and P1D, if used), as inputs by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits.
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.
3. If auto-shutdown is required:
• Disable auto-shutdown (ECCPASE = 0)
• Configure source (FLT0, Comparator 1 or
Comparator 2)
• Wait for non-shutdown condition
4. Configure the ECCP module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:
• Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
P1M<1:0> bits.
• Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCP1M<3:0> bits.
5. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPR1L
register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the deadband
delay by loading PWM1CON<6:0> with
the appropriate value.
7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCP1AS register:
• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the
ECCPAS<2:0> bits.
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using the PSSAC<1:0> and
PSSBD<1:0> bits.
• Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
• Configure the comparators using the CMCON
register.
• Configure the comparator inputs as analog
inputs.
8. If auto-restart operation is required, set the
PRSEN bit (PWM1CON<7>).
9. Configure and start TMR2:
• Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).
• Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit
(T2CON<2>).
10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
• Wait until TMRx overflows (TMRxIF bit is set).
• Enable the CCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or P1D
pin outputs by clearing the respective TRIS
bits.
• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
16.4.10 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2
will not increment and the state of the module will not
change. If the ECCP pin is driving a value, it will continue
to drive that value. When the device wakes up, it
will continue from this state. If Two-Speed Start-ups are
enabled, the initial start-up frequency from INTOSC
and the postscaler may not be stable immediately.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCP module without change. In all other
power-managed modes, the selected power-managed
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed
mode clocks will most likely be different than the
primary clock frequency.
16.4.10.1 Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor
If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled, a clock failure
will force the device into the power-managed RC_RUN
mode and the OSCFIF bit (PIR2<7>) will be set. The
ECCP will then be clocked from the internal oscillator
clock source, which may have a different clock
frequency than the primary clock.
See the previous section for additional details.
16.4.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force
all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to their
Reset states.
This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCP module.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

17.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
17.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
display drivers, A/D Converters, etc. The MSSP
module can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
• Master mode
• Multi-Master mode
• Slave mode
17.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two
control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use
of these registers and their individual configuration bits
differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
17.3 SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA
• Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) – RA5/SS
Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.

17.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 register
is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the
SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not doublebuffered.
A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF
and SSPSR.

17.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPCON1<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR
until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double-buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just received. Any write to the
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data
will be ignored and the write collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear
the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. The
Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when
SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt
is used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used,
then software polling can be done to ensure that a write
collision does not occur. Example 17-1 shows the
loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP Status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

read-modify-write instructions such as
BCF, BTFSC and COMF, etc.

(SSPSTAT<0>) between each

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
17.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function,
some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
• SS must have TRISA<5> bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
17.3.4 TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 17-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed
clock edge and latched on the opposite edge
of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to
the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers
would send and receive data at the same time.
Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data – Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data

17.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 17-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled
(programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This, then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 17-3, Figure 17-5 and Figure 17-6,
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user-programmable to be one
of the following:
• FOSC/4 (or TCY)
• FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
• FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
• Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of
10.00 Mbps.
Figure 17-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

17.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the
clock line must match the proper Idle state. The clock
line can be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle
state is determined by the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>).
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
17.3.7 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not be driven
low for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch
must be high. When the SS pin is low, transmission and
reception are enabled and the SDO pin is driven. When
the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer driven,
even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and becomes
a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors
may be desirable depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cannot create a bus conflict.
FIGURE 17-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin
control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100),
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set
to VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.

17.3.8 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in full-power mode; in
the case of Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In most Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.
That clock should be from the primary clock
source, the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at
32.768 kHz) or the INTOSC source. See Section 2.7
“Clock Sources and Oscillator Switching” for
additional information.
In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the controller
from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes, when
the master completes sending data. If an exit from
Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP interrupts
should be disabled.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in
that state until the devices wakes. After the device
returns to Run mode, the module will resume
transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/
Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been
received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set, and if
enabled, will wake the device.
17.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.

Table 17-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.

17.4 I2C Mode
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-Bit and 10-Bit
Addressing modes.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial clock (SCL) – RC3/SCK/SCL
• Serial data (SDA) – RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.
FIGURE 17-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C MODE)
17.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
These are:
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
• MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
• MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read-only.
The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPADD register holds the slave device address when
the MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPADD act as the Baud Rate Generator reload
value.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not doublebuffered.
A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF
and SSPSR.

17.4.2 OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting the
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON1<5>).
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON1<3:0>)
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
• I2C Master mode, clock = (FOSC/4) x (SSPADD + 1)
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit addressing)
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit addressing)
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit addressing) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit addressing) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
• I2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is
Idle
Selection of any I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
17.4.3 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured
as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
Start and Stop bits
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically
will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and
load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON2<6>), was
set before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set. The
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I
2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter 100 and
parameter 101.
17.4.3.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is
set (interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to
be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit, R/W (SSPSTAT<2>), must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would
equal ‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the
two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for
10-Bit Addressing mode is as follows, with steps 7
through 9 for the slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits, SSPIF,
BF and UA (SSPSTAT<1>), are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears UA bit and releases the
SCL line).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears BF bit) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits,
SSPIF, BF and UA, are set).
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)
byte of address. If match releases SCL line, this
will clear bit, UA.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears BF bit) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits, SSPIF
and BF, are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears BF bit) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 175
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
17.4.3.2 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), is
set, or bit, SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON2<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit,
CKP (SSPCON<4>). See Section 17.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more details.
17.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and the RC3/SCK/SCL pin is
held low regardless of SEN (see Section 17.4.4
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data. The transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF register which also loads the SSPSR register.
Then the RC3/SCK/SCL pin should be enabled by setting
bit, CKP (SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL
high time (Figure 17-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete.
In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT register)
and the slave monitors for another occurrence of
the Start bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register.
Again, the RC3/SCK/SCL pin must be enabled by
setting bit, CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

17.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement
automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
17.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-Bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be
held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the
SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) before reception is
allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line low, the
user has time to service the ISR and read the contents
of the SSPBUF before the master device can initiate
another receive sequence. This will prevent buffer
overruns from occurring (see Figure 17-13).
17.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
17.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretching
by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless
of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission
is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 17-9).
17.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is controlled
during the first two address sequences by the
state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave Receive
mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third
address sequence which contains the high-order bits
of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to ‘1’. After
the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is
not set, the module is now configured in Transmit
mode and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag
as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 17-11).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software regardless
of the state of the BF bit. The user
should be careful to clear the BF bit in the
ISR before the next receive sequence in
order to prevent an overflow condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by reading
the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 181
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
17.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already sampled
low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL line until an external I2C master device has
already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 17-12).

17.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be the slave addressed by
the master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the General
Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled (SSPCON2<7>
is set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits are shifted into
the SSPSR and the address is compared against the
SSPADD. It is also compared to the general call
address and fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth
bit) and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the
SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the
interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match and the UA
bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configured in 10-Bit Addressing mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 17-15).

17.4.6 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop conditions.
The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from
a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options.
1. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL.
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating
transmission of data/address.
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
6. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL.
The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (MSSP interrupt, if enabled):
• Start condition
• Stop condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
• Acknowledge transmit
• Repeated Start
FIGURE 17-16: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C™ MASTER MODE)
Note: The MSSP module, when configured in
I
2C Master mode, does not allow queueing
of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPBUF register to
initiate transmission before the Start condition
is complete. In this case, the SSPBUF
will not be written to and the WCOL bit will
be set, indicating that a write to the
SSPBUF did not occur.

17.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted,
an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains
the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the
serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After
each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted.
Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode
operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 17.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>).
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are
transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF
bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>).
12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is
complete.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 187
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
17.4.7 BAUD RATE
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 17-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down to 0 and stops
until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission
of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 17-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

17.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 17-18).

17.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL
pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts
its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when
the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA
pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven
low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by
hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.
17.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 17-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If, at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sampled
low, or if during the Start condition, the
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA
line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is
set, the Start condition is aborted and the
I
2C module is reset into its Idle state.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.

17.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is sampled
low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with the
contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud Rate
Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate Generator
times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will
be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled
high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA
and SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This
action is then followed by assertion of the SDA pin
(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following
this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically
cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be
reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a
Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins,
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will
not be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user
may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit
mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After the
first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is received,
the user may then transmit an additional eight bits of
address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit mode).
17.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
FIGURE 17-20: REPEATED START CONDITION WAVEFORM
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low-to-high.
• SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated
Start condition is complete.

17.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next transmission.
Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is
asserted (see data hold time specification
parameter 106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
before SCL is released high (see data setup time specification
parameter 107). When the SCL pin is released
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA
pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold
time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA.
This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an
address match occurred, or if data was received properly.
The status of ACK is written into the ACKDT bit on
the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master receives
an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth
clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA
unchanged (Figure 17-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit
(SSPCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the ninth
clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, the
BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is
turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes
place, holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.
17.4.10.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
17.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
WCOL must be cleared in software.
17.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge
(ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call),
or when the slave has properly received its data.
17.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high-to-low/
low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is
set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the Baud Rate Generator
is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The
MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the next command.
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is
automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
17.4.11.1 BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.
17.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
17.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a data
byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: The MSSP module must be in an Idle state
before the RCEN bit is set or the RCEN bit
will be disregarded. PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

17.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to generate
an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate
Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG)
and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the
SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud
Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then
pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically
cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the
MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 17-23).
17.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
17.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/
transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master
will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded and
counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate Generator
times out, the SCL pin will be brought high and one
TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the
SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is
sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit
(SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 17-24).
17.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the contents
of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).

17.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
17.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.
17.4.16 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
• Address Transfer
• Data Transfer
• A Start Condition
• A Repeated Start Condition
• An Acknowledge Condition
17.4.17 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration.
When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the
I
2C port to its Idle state (Figure 17-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the
SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services the
bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition
was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the
condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted
and the respective control bits in the SSPCON2
register are cleared. When the user services the bus
collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is
free, the user can resume communication by asserting a
Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determination
of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

17.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL is sampled low at the beginning of
the Start condition (Figure 17-26).
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 17-27).
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
• the Start condition is aborted,
• the BCLIF flag is set and
• the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 17-26).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data ‘1’ during the Start condition.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 17-28). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
FIGURE 17-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor
during a Start condition is that no two bus
masters can assert a Start condition at the
exact same time. Therefore, one master
will always assert SDA before the other.
This condition does not cause a bus collision
because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address following
the Start condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

17.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user deasserts SDA and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and
counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 17-29).
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins
counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition,
see Figure 17-30.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is
complete.

17.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled
low before SDA goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-31). If the SCL pin is
sampled low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus
collision occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-32).

18.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the
two serial I/O modules. (Generically, the USART is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a halfduplex,
synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break reception
and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN bus) systems.
The EUSART can be configured in the following
modes:
• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The pins of the Enhanced USART are multiplexed
with PORTC. In order to configure RC6/TX/CK and
RC7/RX/DT as an EUSART:
• bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) must be set (= 1)
• bit TRISC<7> must be set (= 1)
• bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1)
The operation of the Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 18-1, Register 18-2 and Register 18-3,
respectively.
Note: The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

18.1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCON<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,
BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>), also
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is
ignored. Table 18-1 shows the formula for computation
of the baud rate for different EUSART modes which
only apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be
calculated using the formulas in Table 18-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 18-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various Asynchronous
modes are shown in Table 18-2. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or
the 16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or
achieve a slow baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
18.1.1 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRG register pair.
18.1.2 SAMPLING
The data on the RX pin is sampled three times by a
majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low
level is present at the RX pin.

For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
18.1.3 AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 18-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is used
as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate
Detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII
“U”, which is also the LIN bus Sync character) in order to
calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is taken
over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize
any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming signal.
After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up, using
the preselected clock source on the first rising edge of
RX. After eight bits on the RX pin or the fifth rising edge,
an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG period is
left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair. Once the 5th
edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop bit), the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCON<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG rollovers
and can be set or cleared by the user in software.
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 18-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG registers
are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate.
Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no
carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h in
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 18-4 for counter
clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value
in the RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREG should be discarded.
TABLE 18-4: BRG COUNTER
CLOCK RATES
18.1.3.1 ABD and EUSART Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisition,
the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREG cannot be written to. Users should also ensure
that ABDEN does not become set during a transmit
sequence. Failing to do this may result in unpredictable
EUSART operation.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible
due to bit error rates. Overall system timing
and communication baud rates must
be taken into consideration when using the
Auto-Baud Rate Detection feature.

independent of BRG16 setting.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

18.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) format
(one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop
bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip,
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator can be used
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent but use the same data format and baud
rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either
x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate depending on the BRGH
and BRG16 bits (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCON<3>). Parity
is not supported by the hardware but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART
module consists of the following important elements:
• Baud Rate Generator
• Sampling Circuit
• Asynchronous Transmitter
• Asynchronous Receiver
• Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character
• 12-Bit Break Character Transmit
• Auto-Baud Rate Detection
18.2.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty
and the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can
be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF will be set regardless of
the state of TXIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXIF
is also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREG, but
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a
load of TXREG will return invalid results.
While TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register,
another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of
the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty.
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit,
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,
which will also set bit, TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

18.2.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 18-6.
The data is received on the RX pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high-speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCIE, was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
18.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

TABLE 18-6: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH ASYNCHRONOUS RECEPTION
18.2.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be performed.
The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event consists
of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line. (This
coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a Wake-up
Signal character for the LIN protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously
to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 18-8) and asynchronously, if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 18-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-tohigh
transition is observed on the RX line following the
wake-up event. At this point, the EUSART module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
18.2.4.1 Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false End-ofCharacter
(EOC) and cause data or framing errors. To
work properly, therefore, the initial character in the
transmission must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bytes)
for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits) for LIN
bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., XT or HS mode). The Sync
Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of
sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
18.2.4.2 Special Considerations Using
the WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes a
receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is
cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/DT.
The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading the
RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREG will be
dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

18.2.5 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit
consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve ‘0’ bits and a
Stop bit. The frame Break character is sent whenever
the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3> and
TXSTA<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift register is
loaded with data. Note that the value of data written to
TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmission.
See Figure 18-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
18.2.5.1 Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the
Break character.
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode.
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
18.2.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling location
(13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data bits for
typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 18.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,
cause an RCIF interrupt and receive the next data byte
followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit
once the TXIF interrupt is observed.

18.3 EUSART Synchronous
Master Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTA<7>), is set in order to configure the TX and RX
pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits
the master clock on the CK line. Clock polarity is
selected with the TXCKP bit (BAUDCON<4>); setting
TXCKP sets the Idle state on CK as high, while clearing
the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is provided
to support Microwire devices with this module.
18.3.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG is empty and
the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF is set regardless of
the state of enable bit, TXIE; it cannot be cleared in
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register.
While flag bit, TXIF, indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which
is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to determine
if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not
mapped in data memory so it is not available to the user.
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

18.3.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
MASTER RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the
RX pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit, RCIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits
in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

18.4 EUSART Synchronous
Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is supplied
externally at the CK pin (instead of being supplied
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.
18.4.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
SLAVE TRANSMISSION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of the Sleep
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in the TXREG
register.
c) Flag bit, TXIF, will not be set.
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit, TXIF, will now be
set.
e) If enable bit, TXIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.

18.4.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
Idle mode and bit, SREN, which is a “don’t care” in
Slave mode.
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be
received while in this low-power mode. Once the word
is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the
RCREG register; if the RCIE enable bit is set, the interrupt
generated will wake the chip from the low-power
mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.
5. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCIE, was set.
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

19.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has
10 inputs for the 28-pin devices and 13 for the 40/44-pin
devices. This module allows conversion of an analog
input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number.
The module has five registers:
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
• A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 19-1,
controls the operation of the A/D module. The
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 19-2, configures
the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2 register,
shown in Register 19-3, configures the A/D clock
source, programmed acquisition time and justification.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/
VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins.
The A/D Converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To operate
in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be derived
from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be
configured as an analog input, or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of the
A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete,
the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL register
pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register) is cleared and
the A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block diagram
of the A/D module is shown in Figure 19-1.

The value in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on
Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 19.1
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisition
time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.
The following steps should be followed to perform an A/D
conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit, ADIF, if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.

19.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 19-3. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 19-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
Example 19-3 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time TACQ. This calculation is
based on the following application system
assumptions:
CHOLD = 25 pF
Rs = 2.5 kΩ
Conversion Error ≤ 1/2 LSb
VDD = 5V → Rss = 2 kΩ
Temperature = 85°C (system max.)

input pin.

19.2 Selecting and Configuring
Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an
automatically determined acquisition time.
Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT<2:0> bits
(ADCON2<5:3>), which provides a range of 2 to
20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module
continues to sample the input for the selected acquisition
time, then automatically begins a conversion.
Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may
be no need to wait for an acquisition time between
selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
Manual acquisition is selected when
ACQT<2:0> = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,
sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user
is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time
has passed between selecting the desired input
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the default Reset state of the ACQT<2:0> bits and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
19.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:
• 2 TOSC
• 4 TOSC
• 8 TOSC
• 16 TOSC
• 32 TOSC
• 64 TOSC
• Internal RC Oscillator
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the
minimum TAD (see parameter 130 for more
information).
Table 19-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
TABLE 19-1: TAD vs. DEVICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES

Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 1.2 μs.
2: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 2.5 μs.
3: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D
accuracy may be out of specification.

DS39631E-page 230 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
19.4 Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D
conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the clock source to be used in that
mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or
conversion may be started. Once started, the device
should continue to be clocked by the same clock
source until the conversion has been completed.
If desired, the device may be placed into the
corresponding Idle mode during the conversion. If the
device clock frequency is less than 1 MHz, the A/D RC
clock source should be selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D FRC clock to
be selected. If the ACQT<2:0> bits are set to ‘000’ and
a conversion is started, the conversion will be delayed
one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP
instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared prior
to starting the conversion.
19.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers all
configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as
analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits
set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS<3:0> bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured
as digital inputs will convert as
analog inputs. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a digital
input may cause the digital input buffer
to consume current out of the device’s
specification limits.
3: The PBADEN bit, in Configuration
Register 3H, configures PORTB pins to
reset as analog or digital pins by controlling
how the PCFG bits in ADCON1 are
reset.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 231
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
19.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 19-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 19-5 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are set to ‘010’, and selecting a 4 TAD
acquisition time before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort
the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will
NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D
conversion sample. This means the ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will continue to contain the value of the last
completed conversion (or the last value written to the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
19.7 Discharge
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the capacitor array. The array is discharged before
every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unitygain
amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the
capacitor array, rather than charge/discharge based on
previous measure values.

19.8 Use of the CCP2 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event
Trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M<3:0> bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be programmed
as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled (ADON
bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit
will be set, starting the A/D acquisition and conversion,
and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH:ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition period is either timed by
the user, or an appropriate TACQ time is selected before
the Special Event Trigger sets the GO/DONE bit (starts
a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
Special Event Trigger will be ignored by the A/D
module, but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3)
counter.

20.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains two
comparators that can be configured in a variety of
ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog
inputs multiplexed with pins, RA0 through RA5, as well
as the on-chip voltage reference (see Section 21.0
“Comparator Voltage Reference Module”). The digital
outputs (normal or inverted) are available at the pin
level and can also be read through the control register.
The CMCON register (Register 20-1) selects the
comparator input and output configuration. Block
diagrams of the various comparator configurations are
shown in Figure 20-1.

20.1 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the comparators,
shown in Figure 20-1. Bits CM<2:0> of the
CMCON register are used to select these modes. The
TRISA register controls the data direction of the comparator
pins for each mode. If the Comparator mode is
changed, the comparator output level may not be valid
for the specified mode change delay shown in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

20.2 Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 20-2, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 20-2 represent
the uncertainty, due to input offsets and response time.
20.3 Comparator Reference
Depending on the comparator operating mode, either
an external or internal voltage reference may be used.
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator
is adjusted accordingly (Figure 20-2).
FIGURE 20-2: SINGLE COMPARATOR
20.3.1 EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the comparators
operate from the same or different reference
sources. However, threshold detector applications may
require the same reference. The reference signal must
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator(s).
20.3.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference from the
comparator voltage reference module. This module is
described in more detail in Section 21.0 “Comparator
Voltage Reference Module”.
The internal reference is only available in the mode
where four inputs are multiplexed to two comparators
(CM<2:0> = 110). In this mode, the internal voltage
reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both
comparators.
20.4 Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal reference
is changed, the maximum delay of the internal
voltage reference must be considered when using the
comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of
the comparators should be used (see Section 26.0
“Electrical Characteristics”).
20.5 Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON
register. These bits are read-only. The comparator
outputs may also be directly output to the RA4 and RA5
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexers in the output path
of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the
comparator. The uncertainty of each of the
comparators is related to the input offset voltage and
the response time given in the specifications.
Figure 20-3 shows the comparator output block
diagram.
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/
disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<4:5>).

Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins

digital input may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

FIGURE 20-3: COMPARATOR OUTPUT BLOCK DIAGRAM
20.6 Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR2<6>) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it. Since it is also
possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
Both the CMIE bit (PIE2<6>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,
though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt
condition occurs.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit, CMIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, CMIF.
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, CMIF, to be cleared.
20.7 Comparator Operation
During Sleep
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn
off the comparators (CM<2:0> = 111) before entering
Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents
of the CMCON register are not affected.
20.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset
state, causing the comparator modules to be turned off
(CM<2:0> = 111). However, the input pins (RA0
through RA3) are configured as analog inputs by
default on device Reset. The I/O configuration for these
pins is determined by the setting of the PCFG<3:0> bits
(ADCON1<3:0>). Therefore, device current is
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset
time.

PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
20.9 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 20-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

21.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be
used independently of them.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 21-1.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The module’s supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.
21.1 Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The voltage reference module is controlled through the
CVRCON register (Register 21-1). The comparator
voltage reference provides two ranges of output voltage,
each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be used
is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The
primary difference between the ranges is the size of the
steps selected by the CVREF Selection bits
(CVR<3:0>), with one range offering finer resolution.
The equations used to calculate the output of the
comparator voltage reference are as follows:
If CVRR = 1:
CVREF = ((CVR<3:0>)/24) x CVRSRC
If CVRR = 0:
CVREF = (CVRSRC x 1/4) + (((CVR<3:0>)/32) x
CVRSRC)
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit
(CVRCON<4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF output
(see Table 26-3 in Section 26.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).

FIGURE 21-1: COMPARATOR VOLTAGE REFERENCE BLOCK DIAGRAM
21.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 21-1) keep CVREF from approaching the reference
source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
21.3 Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
21.4 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-voltage
range by clearing bit, CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The CVR
value select bits are also cleared.
21.5 Connection Considerations
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RA2 pin if the
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference output
onto RA2 when it is configured as a digital input will
increase current consumption. Connecting RA2 as a
digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase
current consumption.
The RA2 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF.

22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE
DETECT (HLVD)
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices have a
High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a programmable
circuit that allows the user to specify both a
device voltage trip point and the direction of change from
that point. If the device experiences an excursion past
the trip point in that direction, an interrupt flag is set. If the
interrupt is enabled, the program execution will branch to
the interrupt vector address and the software can then
respond to the interrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 22-1) completely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in
Figure 22-1.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.
Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit is
a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit
is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt
after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set
point. When the bit is set, the module monitors for rises
in VDD above the set point.
22.1 Operation
When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage
event, depending on the configuration of the module.
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any one
of 16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
HLVDL<3:0> bits (HLVDCON<3:0>).
The HLVD module has an additional feature that allows
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from an
external source. This mode is enabled when bits,
HLVDL<3:0>, are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input
pin, HLVDIN. This gives users flexibility because it
allows them to configure the High/Low-Voltage Detect
interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating
range.

22.2 HLVD Setup
The following steps are needed to set up the HLVD
module:
1. Write the value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits that
selects the desired HLVD trip point.
2. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).
3. Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
4. Clear the HLVD interrupt flag (PIR2<2>), which
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
5. Enable the HLVD interrupt, if interrupts are
desired, by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits
(PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>). An interrupt will not
be generated until the IRVST bit is set.
22.3 Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and voltage divider are enabled and will consume static
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in electrical specification parameter D022B.
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the
current requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only
need to be enabled for short periods where the voltage
is checked. After doing the check, the HLVD module
may be disabled.
22.4 HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification parameter D420,
may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the
programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference
voltage circuit will require time to become stable before
a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably
detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that
is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36.
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval (refer to Figure 22-2
or Figure 22-3).

FIGURE 22-3: HIGH-VOLTAGE DETECT OPERATION (VDIRMAG = 1)
22.5 Applications
In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below,
or rise above, a particular threshold is desirable. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to detect Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach or
detach. This assumes the device is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach
would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for example,
3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice versa for a
detach. This feature could save a design a few extra
components and an attach signal (input pin).
For general battery applications, Figure 22-4 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage,
VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time, TA.
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,
which would allow the application to perform “housekeeping
tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown
before the device voltage exits the valid operating
range at TB. The HLVD, thus, would give the application
a time window, represented by the difference
between TA and TB, to safely exit.

22.6 Operation During Sleep
When enabled, the HLVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have
been globally enabled.
22.7 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

23.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices include several
features intended to maximize reliability and minimize
cost through elimination of external components. These
are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Two-Speed Start-up
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
The oscillator can be configured for the application
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, PIC18F2420/2520/4420/
4520 devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either
permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or
software controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. TwoSpeed
Start-up enables code to be executed almost
immediately on start-up, while the primary clock source
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
23.1 Configuration Bits
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as
‘0’) or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’) to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location, 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh), which
can only be accessed using table reads and table writes.
Programming the Configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the Flash memory. The
WR bit in the EECON1 register starts a self-timed write
to the Configuration register. In normal operation mode,
a TBLWT instruction with the TBLPTR pointing to the
Configuration register sets up the address and the data
for the Configuration register write. Setting the WR bit
starts a long write to the Configuration register. The
Configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To
write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction
can write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell. For additional details
on Flash programming, refer to Section 6.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.

23.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices, the WDT is
driven by the INTRC source. When the WDT is
enabled, the clock source is also enabled. The nominal
WDT period is 4 ms and has the same stability as the
INTRC oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer, controlled by bits in Configuration
Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms
to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and
postscaler are cleared when any of the following events
occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed, the
IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock
failure has occurred.
23.2.1 CONTROL REGISTER
Register 23-14 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register which contains a control
bit that allows software to override the WDT enable
Configuration bit, but only if the Configuration bit has
disabled the WDT.

23.3 Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO
Configuration bit.
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the
primary oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL
(Crystal-Based modes). Other sources do not require
an OST start-up delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up
should be disabled.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF<2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Startup
is not used. The device will be clocked by the
currently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit
is ignored.
23.3.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the INTOSC oscillator in Two-Speed Startup,
the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In
practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS<1:0> bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions
before the OST times out. This would allow an
application to briefly wake-up, perform routine
“housekeeping” tasks and return to Sleep before the
device starts to operate from the primary oscillator.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

23.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the microcontroller
to continue operation in the event of an external
oscillator failure by automatically switching the device
clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM function
is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock
monitoring (shown in Figure 23-3) is accomplished by
creating a sample clock signal, which is the INTRC output
divided by 64. This allows ample time between
FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to
occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample
clock are presented as inputs to the Clock Monitor latch
(CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of the device
clock source, but cleared on the rising edge of the
sample clock.
FIGURE 23-3: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 23-4). This causes the following:
• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);
• the device clock source is switched to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the fail-safe
condition) and
• the WDT is reset.
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable for
timing sensitive applications. In these cases, it may be
desirable to select another clock configuration and enter
an alternate power-managed mode. This can be done to
attempt a partial recovery or execute a controlled shutdown.
See Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”
and Section 23.3.1 “Special Considerations for
Using Two-Speed Start-up” for more details.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC or
postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide a
higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>, immediately
after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected by setting the
IRCF<2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep mode.
The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or secondary
clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action
be possible.
23.4.1 FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF<2:0> bits, this may mean a substantial change in
the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, fail-safe clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.
23.4.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the oscillator
mode, such as the OST or PLL timer). The
INTOSC multiplexer provides the device clock until the
primary clock source becomes ready (similar to a TwoSpeed
Start-up). The clock source is then switched to
the primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the
OSCCON register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor then resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready during
start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain
in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is
entered.

FIGURE 23-4: FSCM TIMING DIAGRAM
23.4.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock multiplexer
selects the clock source selected by the OSCCON
register. Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring of the powermanaged
clock source resumes in the power-managed
mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC
source.
23.4.4 POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
device clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically configured
as the device clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed
out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to
its role as the FSCM source.
As noted in Section 23.3.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an
alternate power-managed mode while waiting for the
primary clock to become stable. When the new powermanaged
mode is selected, the primary clock is
disabled.

Note: The same logic that prevents false oscillator
failure interrupts on POR, or wake from
Sleep, will also prevent the detection of
the oscillator’s failure to start at all following
these events. This can be avoided by
monitoring the OSTS bit and using a
timing routine to determine if the oscillator
is taking too long to start. Even so, no
oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged. © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 263

23.5 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PIC® devices.
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 2 Kbytes. The remainder
of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary
boundaries.
Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
• Code-Protect bit (CPn)
• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 23-5 shows the program memory organization
for 16 and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code protection
bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 23-3.

23.5.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
The program memory may be read to, or written from,
any location using the table read and table write
instructions. The Device ID may be read with table
reads. The Configuration registers may be read and
written with the table read and table write instructions.
In normal execution mode, the CPn bits have no direct
effect. CPn bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block
of user memory may be protected from table writes if the
WRTn Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
table reads. For a block of user memory with the EBTRn
bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction that executes from
within that block is allowed to read. A table read
instruction that executes from a location outside of that
block is not allowed to read and will result in reading ‘0’s.
Figures 23-6 through 23-8 illustrate table write and table
read protection.
FIGURE 23-6: TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED
Note: Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code protection
bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full chip
erase or block erase function. The full chip
erase and block erase functions can only
be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

23.5.2 DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits internal and external writes to data
EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM
under normal operation, regardless of the protection bit
settings.
23.5.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers can be write-protected.
The WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration
registers. In normal execution mode, the WRTC bit is
read-only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP or an
external programmer.
23.6 ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are both readable and writable during normal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions,
or during program/verify. The ID locations can be read
when the device is code-protected.
23.7 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
23.8 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This function allows simple debugging functions when
used with MPLAB® IDE. When the microcontroller has
this feature enabled, some resources are not available
for general use. Table 23-4 shows which resources are
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 23-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller,
the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP/RE3, VDD,
VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of
the third party development tool companies.
23.9 Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The LVP Configuration bit enables Single-Supply ICSP
Programming (formerly known as Low-Voltage ICSP
Programming or LVP). When Single-Supply Programming
is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed
without requiring high voltage being applied to the
MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, but the RB5/KBI1/PGM pin is then
dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not
available as a general purpose I/O pin.
While programming, using Single-Supply Programming
mode, VDD is applied to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin as in
normal execution mode. To enter Programming mode,
VDD is applied to the PGM pin.
If Single-Supply ICSP Programming mode will not be
used, the LVP bit can be cleared. RB5/KBI1/PGM then
becomes available as the digital I/O pin, RB5. The LVP
bit may be set or cleared only when using standard
high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/
VPP/RE3 pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the
standard high-voltage programming is available and
must be used to program the device.
Memory that is not code-protected can be erased using
either a block erase, or erased row by row, then written
at any specified VDD. If code-protected memory is to be
erased, a block erase is required. If a block erase is to
be performed when using Low-Voltage Programming,
the device must be supplied with VDD of 4.5V to 5.5V.
I/O pins: RB6, RB7
Stack: 2 levels
Program Memory: 512 bytes
Data Memory: 10 bytes
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH
to the MCLR pin.
2: By default, Single-Supply ICSP is
enabled in unprogrammed devices (as
supplied from Microchip) and erased
devices.
3: When Single-Supply Programming is
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be
used as a general purpose I/O pin.
4: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program
execution.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 267
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices incorporate the
standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an
extended set of 8 new instructions, for the optimization
of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software stack.
The extended set is discussed later in this section.
24.1 Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal operations
• Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 24-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 24-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction. The destination
designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the operation
is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is placed in
the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed in
the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register
designator ‘f’ represents the number of the file in which
the bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
itself), it will execute as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction.
In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles, with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 μs. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.
Figure 24-1 shows the general formats that the instructions
can have. All examples use the convention ‘nnh’
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 24-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip Assembler (MPASMTM).
Section 24.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides
a description of each instruction.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
3: If the Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 271

(unsigned comparison)
Status Affected: None
Encoding: 0110 010a ffff ffff
Description: Compares the contents of data memory
location ‘f’ to the contents of the W by
performing an unsigned subtraction.
If the contents of ‘f’ are greater than the
contents of WREG, then the fetched
instruction is discarded and a NOP is
executed instead, making this a
two-cycle instruction.
If ‘a’ is ‘0’, the Access Bank is selected.
If ‘a’ is ‘1’, the BSR is used to select the
GPR bank (default).
If ‘a’ is ‘0’ and the extended instruction
set is enabled, this instruction operates
in Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode whenever f ≤ 95 (5Fh). See
Section 24.2.3 “Byte-Oriented and
Bit-Oriented Instructions in Indexed

24.2 Extended Instruction Set
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18
instruction set, PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices
also provide an optional extension to the core CPU
functionality. The added features include eight additional
instructions that augment indirect and indexed
addressing operations and the implementation of
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode for many of the
standard PIC18 instructions.
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are disabled by default. To enable them, users must set
the XINST Configuration bit.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
classified as literal operations, which either manipulate
the File Select Registers, or use them for indexed
addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and
SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation
for using FSR2. These versions (ADDULNK and
SUBULNK) allow for automatic return after execution.
The extended instructions are specifically implemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
• Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
• Function Pointer invocation
• Software Stack Pointer manipulation
• Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruction
set is provided in Table 24-3. Detailed descriptions
are provided in Section 24.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 24-1
(page 268) apply to both the standard and extended
PIC18 instruction sets.
24.2.1 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed arguments,
using one of the File Select Registers and some
offset to specify a source or destination register. When
an argument for an instruction serves as part of
indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
(“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. MPASM™ Assembler will flag an
error if it determines that an index or offset value is not
bracketed.
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets
are also used to indicate index arguments in byteoriented
and bit-oriented instructions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 24.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
TABLE 24-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET
Note: The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is provided
as a reference for users who may be
reviewing code that has been generated
by a compiler.
Note: In the past, square brackets have been
used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

24.2.3 BYTE-ORIENTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode (Section 5.5.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a significant impact on the way that many commands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embedded
in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0), or in a
GPR bank designated by the BSR (‘a’ = 1). When the
extended instruction set is enabled and ‘a’ = 0, however,
a file register argument of 5Fh or less is
interpreted as an offset from the pointer value in FSR2
and not as a literal address. For practical purposes, this
means that all instructions that use the Access RAM bit
as an argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bitoriented
instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18
instructions – may behave differently when the
extended instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating backward
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it
when moving back and forth between C and assembly
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the
extended instruction set (see Section 24.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer
manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple
arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong
register. Users who are accustomed to the PIC18 programming
must keep in mind that, when the extended
instruction set is enabled, register addresses of 5Fh or
less are used for Indexed Literal Offset Addressing.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode are provided on the following page to
show how execution is affected. The operand conditions
shown in the examples are applicable to all
instructions of these types.
24.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register argument, ‘f’, in the standard byte-oriented and
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset
value, ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within brackets, will generate an
error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is
never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be
‘0’. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended
instruction set disabled) when ‘a’ is set on the basis of
the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in
this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM
Assembler.
The destination argument, ‘d’, functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM assembler,
language support for the extended instruction set must
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source listing.
24.2.4 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruction
set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
When porting an application to the PIC18F2420/2520/
4420/4520, it is very important to consider the type of
code. A large, re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’
and would benefit from efficient compilation will do well
when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set
extension may cause legacy applications
to behave erratically or fail entirely. © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 315

24.2.5 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS
The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have
been designed to fully support the extended instruction
set of the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 family of
devices. This includes the MPLAB C18 C compiler,
MPASM assembly language and MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment (IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is ‘0’, disabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode. For proper execution of applications
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
To develop software for the extended instruction set,
the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).
Depending on the environment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
• A menu option, or dialog box within the
environment, that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
• A command line option
• A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to review the documentation accompanying
their development systems for the appropriate
information.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 317

25.4 MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. It can link relocatable objects
from precompiled libraries, using directives from a
linker script.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction
25.5 MPLAB ASM30 Assembler, Linker
and Librarian
MPLAB ASM30 Assembler produces relocatable
machine code from symbolic assembly language for
dsPIC30F devices. MPLAB C30 C Compiler uses the
assembler to produce its object file. The assembler
generates relocatable object files that can then be
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and
archives to create an executable file. Notable features
of the assembler include:
• Support for the entire dsPIC30F instruction set
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
• Command line interface
• Rich directive set
• Flexible macro language
• MPLAB IDE compatibility
25.6 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulating
the PIC MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of
the simulator to record and track program execution,
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C18 and
MPLAB C30 C Compilers, and the MPASM and
MPLAB ASM30 Assemblers. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside
of the hardware laboratory environment, making it an
excellent, economical software development tool. © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 319

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
Pdis = VDD x {IDD – ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause
latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP/
RE3 pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured
with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that
add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin
loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have
an impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD or VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: When operation below -10°C is expected, use T1OSC High-Power mode, where LPT1OSC (CONFIG3H<2>) = 0.
When operation will always be above -10°C, then the low-power Timer1 oscillator may be selected.
4: BOR and HLVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured
with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that
add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin
loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have
an impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD or VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: When operation below -10°C is expected, use T1OSC High-Power mode, where LPT1OSC (CONFIG3H<2>) = 0.
When operation will always be above -10°C, then the low-power Timer1 oscillator may be selected.
4: BOR and HLVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less
than the sum of both specifications.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39631E-page 335

2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement
TSU:DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the

Note 1: The time of the A/D clock period is dependent on the device frequency and the TAD clock divider.
2: ADRES register may be read on the following TCY cycle.
3: The time for the holding capacitor to acquire the “New” input voltage when the voltage changes full scale
after the conversion (VDD to VSS or VSS to VDD). The source impedance (RS) on the input channels is 50Ω.
4: On the following cycle of the device clock.

Note 1: If the A/D clock source is selected as RC, a time of TCY is added before the A/D clock starts. This allows the SLEEP instruction
to be executed.
2: This is a minimal RC delay (typically 100 ns), which also disconnects the holding capacitor from the analog input.

PIC18FXX2
2.0 OSCILLATOR
CONFIGURATIONS
2.1 Oscillator Types
The PIC18FXX2 can be operated in eight different
Oscillator modes. The user can program three configuration
bits (FOSC2, FOSC1, and FOSC0) to select one
of these eight modes:
1. LP Low Power Crystal
2. XT Crystal/Resonator
3. HS High Speed Crystal/Resonator
4. HS + PLL High Speed Crystal/Resonator
with PLL enabled
5. RC External Resistor/Capacitor
6. RCIO External Resistor/Capacitor with
I/O pin enabled
7. EC External Clock
8. ECIO External Clock with I/O pin
enabled
2.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic
Resonators
In XT, LP, HS or HS+PLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or
ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows
the pin connections.
The PIC18FXX2 oscillator design requires the use of a
parallel cut crystal.

Note: Use of a series cut crystal may give a frequency
out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications.
Note 1: See Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for
recommended values of C1 and C2.
2: A series resistor (RS) may be required for
AT strip cut crystals.

All resonators used did not have built-in capacitors.
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when
using certain ceramic resonators at any
voltage, it may be necessary to use
high-gain HS mode, try a lower frequency
resonator, or switch to a crystal oscillator.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for appropriate
values of external components, or
verify oscillator performance. PIC18FXX2

TABLE 2-2: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
An external clock source may also be connected to the
OSC1 pin in the HS, XT and LP modes, as shown in
Figure 2-2.
FIGURE 2-2: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
OPERATION (HS, XT OR LP
OSC CONFIGURATION)
2.3 RC Oscillator
For timing-insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. In addition to this,
the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to
normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency, especially
for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take
into account variation due to tolerance of external R
and C components used. Figure 2-3 shows how the
R/C combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic.
FIGURE 2-3: RC OSCILLATOR MODE
The RCIO Oscillator mode functions like the RC mode,
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general
purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6).

Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
2: Rs may be required in HS mode, as well
as XT mode, to avoid overdriving crystals
with low drive level specification.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for appropriate
values of external components., or
verify oscillator performance.

2.4 External Clock Input
The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. The
feedback device between OSC1 and OSC2 is turned
off in these modes to save current. There is no oscillator
start-up time required after a Power-on Reset or
after a recovery from SLEEP mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.
FIGURE 2-4: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
OPERATION
(EC CONFIGURATION)
The ECIO Oscillator mode functions like the EC mode,
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general
purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-5 shows the pin connections
for the ECIO Oscillator mode.

2.5 HS/PLL
A Phase Locked Loop circuit is provided as a programmable
option for users that want to multiply the frequency
of the incoming crystal oscillator signal by 4.
For an input clock frequency of 10 MHz, the internal
clock frequency will be multiplied to 40 MHz. This is
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high frequency crystals.
The PLL can only be enabled when the oscillator configuration
bits are programmed for HS mode. If they are
programmed for any other mode, the PLL is not
enabled and the system clock will come directly from
OSC1.
The PLL is one of the modes of the FOSC<2:0> configuration
bits. The Oscillator mode is specified during
device programming.
A PLL lock timer is used to ensure that the PLL has
locked before device execution starts. The PLL lock
timer has a time-out that is called TPLL.

2.6 Oscillator Switching Feature
The PIC18FXX2 devices include a feature that allows
the system clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate low frequency clock source.
For the PIC18FXX2 devices, this alternate clock source
is the Timer1 oscillator. If a low frequency crystal (32
kHz, for example) has been attached to the Timer1
oscillator pins and the Timer1 oscillator has been
enabled, the device can switch to a Low Power Execution
mode. Figure 2-7 shows a block diagram of the
system clock sources. The clock switching feature is
enabled by programming the Oscillator Switching
Enable (OSCSEN) bit in Configuration Register1H to a
’0’. Clock switching is disabled in an erased device.
See Section 11.0 for further details of the Timer1 oscillator.
See Section 19.0 for Configuration Register
details.

2.6.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SWITCH BIT
The system clock source switching is performed under
software control. The system clock switch bit, SCS
(OSCCON<0>) controls the clock switching. When the
SCS bit is ’0’, the system clock source comes from the
main oscillator that is selected by the FOSC configuration
bits in Configuration Register1H. When the SCS bit
is set, the system clock source will come from the
Timer1 oscillator. The SCS bit is cleared on all forms of
RESET.
REGISTER 2-1: OSCCON REGISTER
Note: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled and
operating to switch the system clock
source. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting the T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1
control register (T1CON). If the Timer1
oscillator is not enabled, then any write to
the SCS bit will be ignored (SCS bit forced
cleared) and the main oscillator will
continue to be the system clock source.

2.6.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
The PIC18FXX2 devices contain circuitry to prevent
“glitches” when switching between oscillator sources.
Essentially, the circuitry waits for eight rising edges of
the clock source that the processor is switching to. This
ensures that the new clock source is stable and that its
pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse
width of the two clock sources.
A timing diagram indicating the transition from the main
oscillator to the Timer1 oscillator is shown in
Figure 2-8. The Timer1 oscillator is assumed to be running
all the time. After the SCS bit is set, the processor
is frozen at the next occurring Q1 cycle. After eight synchronization
cycles are counted from the Timer1 oscillator,
operation resumes. No additional delays are
required after the synchronization cycles.
FIGURE 2-8: TIMING DIAGRAM FOR TRANSITION FROM OSC1 TO TIMER1 OSCILLATOR
The sequence of events that takes place when switching
from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator will
depend on the mode of the main oscillator. In addition
to eight clock cycles of the main oscillator, additional
delays may take place.
If the main oscillator is configured for an external crystal
(HS, XT, LP), then the transition will take place after
an oscillator start-up time (TOST) has occurred. A timing
diagram, indicating the transition from the Timer1 oscillator
to the main oscillator for HS, XT and LP modes, is
shown in Figure 2-9.

If the main oscillator is configured for HS-PLL mode, an
oscillator start-up time (TOST) plus an additional PLL
time-out (TPLL) will occur. The PLL time-out is typically
2 ms and allows the PLL to lock to the main oscillator
frequency. A timing diagram indicating the transition
from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator for
HS-PLL mode is shown in Figure 2-10.
FIGURE 2-10: TIMING FOR TRANSITION BETWEEN TIMER1 AND OSC1 (HS WITH PLL)
If the main oscillator is configured in the RC, RCIO, EC
or ECIO modes, there is no oscillator start-up time-out.
Operation will resume after eight cycles of the main
oscillator have been counted. A timing diagram, indicating
the transition from the Timer1 oscillator to the
main oscillator for RC, RCIO, EC and ECIO modes, is
shown in Figure 2-11.

2.7 Effects of SLEEP Mode on the
On-Chip Oscillator
When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the
on-chip clocks and oscillator are turned off and the
device is held at the beginning of an instruction cycle
(Q1 state). With the oscillator off, the OSC1 and OSC2
signals will stop oscillating. Since all the transistor
switching currents have been removed, SLEEP mode
achieves the lowest current consumption of the device
(only leakage currents). Enabling any on-chip feature
that will operate during SLEEP will increase the current
consumed during SLEEP. The user can wake from
SLEEP through external RESET, Watchdog Timer
Reset, or through an interrupt.
TABLE 2-3: OSC1 AND OSC2 PIN STATES IN SLEEP MODE
2.8 Power-up Delays
Power up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external RESET circuitry is required for most applications.
The delays ensure that the device is kept in
RESET, until the device power supply and clock are
stable. For additional information on RESET operation,
see Section 3.0.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
optionally provides a fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on
power-up only (POR and BOR). The second timer is
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep
the chip in RESET until the crystal oscillator is stable.
With the PLL enabled (HS/PLL Oscillator mode), the
time-out sequence following a Power-on Reset is different
from other Oscillator modes. The time-out
sequence is as follows: First, the PWRT time-out is
invoked after a POR time delay has expired. Then, the
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is invoked. However,
this is still not a sufficient amount of time to allow the
PLL to lock at high frequencies. The PWRT timer is
used to provide an additional fixed 2 ms (nominal)
time-out to allow the PLL ample time to lock to the
incoming clock frequency.

PIC18FXX2
3.0 RESET
The PIC18FXXX differentiates between various kinds
of RESET:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) MCLR Reset during normal operation
c) MCLR Reset during SLEEP
d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during normal
operation)
e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)
f) RESET Instruction
g) Stack Full Reset
h) Stack Underflow Reset
Most registers are unaffected by a RESET. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
RESETS. The other registers are forced to a “RESET
state” on Power-on Reset, MCLR, WDT Reset, Brownout
Reset, MCLR Reset during SLEEP and by the
RESET instruction.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal operation.
Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different
RESET situations, as indicated in Table 3-2. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
RESET. See Table 3-3 for a full description of the
RESET states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 3-1.
The Enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR noise filter
in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal
RESETS, including the WDT.

3.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected. To take advantage of the POR circuitry,
just tie the MCLR pin directly (or through a resistor)
to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components
usually needed to create a Power-on Reset delay. A
minimum rise rate for VDD is specified
(parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 3-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
RESET condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in RESET until the operating
conditions are met.
FIGURE 3-2: EXTERNAL POWER-ON
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)
3.2 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed nominal time-out
(parameter 33) only on power-up from the POR. The
Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator.
The chip is kept in RESET as long as the PWRT is
active. The PWRT’s time delay allows VDD to rise to an
acceptable level. A configuration bit is provided to
enable/disable the PWRT.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip-to-chip due
to VDD, temperature and process variation. See DC
parameter D033 for details.
3.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter 32). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS
modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from
SLEEP.
3.4 PLL Lock Time-out
With the PLL enabled, the time-out sequence following
a Power-on Reset is different from other Oscillator
modes. A portion of the Power-up Timer is used to provide
a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock
to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out
(TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the oscillator
start-up time-out (OST).
3.5 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A configuration bit, BOREN, can disable (if clear/
programmed), or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset
circuitry. If VDD falls below parameter D005 for greater
than parameter 35, the brown-out situation will reset
the chip. A RESET may not occur if VDD falls below
parameter D005 for less than parameter 35. The chip
will remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above
BVDD. If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be
invoked after VDD rises above BVDD; it then will keep
the chip in RESET for an additional time delay
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below BVDD while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be initialized.
Once VDD rises above BVDD, the Power-up Timer
will execute the additional time delay.
3.6 Time-out Sequence
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
First, PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR time
delay has expired. Then, OST is activated. The total
time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and
the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode with
the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, Figure 3-6 and
Figure 3-7 depict time-out sequences on power-up.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire.
Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 3-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXX device operating
in parallel.
Table 3-2 shows the RESET conditions for some
Special Function Registers, while Table 3-3 shows the
RESET conditions for all the registers.
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that
the voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 = 100Ω to 1 kΩ will limit any current flowing
into MCLR from external capacitor C, in
the event of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS).

4.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three memory blocks in Enhanced MCU
devices. These memory blocks are:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
Data and program memory use separate busses,
which allows for concurrent access of these blocks.
Additional detailed information for FLASH program
memory and Data EEPROM is provided in Section 5.0
and Section 6.0, respectively.
4.1 Program Memory Organization
A 21-bit program counter is capable of addressing the
2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location
between the physically implemented memory and the
2-Mbyte address will cause a read of all ’0’s (a NOP
instruction).
The PIC18F252 and PIC18F452 each have 32 Kbytes
of FLASH memory, while the PIC18F242 and
PIC18F442 have 16 Kbytes of FLASH. This means that
PIC18FX52 devices can store up to 16K of single word
instructions, and PIC18FX42 devices can store up to
8K of single word instructions.
The RESET vector address is at 0000h and the
interrupt vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
Figure 4-1 shows the Program Memory Map for
PIC18F242/442 devices and Figure 4-2 shows the

4.2 Return Address Stack
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC
(Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a
CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt
is acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack
on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction.
PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the
RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit stack pointer, with the stack pointer initialized to
00000b after all RESETS. There is no RAM associated
with stack pointer 00000b. This is only a RESET value.
During a CALL type instruction, causing a push onto the
stack, the stack pointer is first incremented and the
RAM location pointed to by the stack pointer is written
with the contents of the PC. During a RETURN type
instruction, causing a pop from the stack, the contents
of the RAM location pointed to by the STKPTR are
transferred to the PC and then the stack pointer is
decremented.
The stack space is not part of either program or data
space. The stack pointer is readable and writable, and
the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable
through SFR registers. Data can also be pushed
to, or popped from, the stack using the top-of-stack
SFRs. Status bits indicate if the stack pointer is at, or
beyond the 31 levels provided.
4.2.1 TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS
The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three
register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL hold the
contents of the stack location pointed to by the
STKPTR register. This allows users to implement a
software stack if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or
interrupt, the software can read the pushed value by
reading the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL registers. These
values can be placed on a user defined software stack.
At return time, the software can replace the TOSU,
TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
during this time to prevent inadvertent stack
operations.
4.2.2 RETURN STACK POINTER
(STKPTR)
The STKPTR register contains the stack pointer value,
the STKFUL (stack full) status bit, and the STKUNF
(stack underflow) status bits. Register 4-1 shows the
STKPTR register. The value of the stack pointer can be
0 through 31. The stack pointer increments when values
are pushed onto the stack and decrements when
values are popped off the stack. At RESET, the stack
pointer value will be 0. The user may read and write the
stack pointer value. This feature can be used by a Real
Time Operating System for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit can only be cleared in software or
by a POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow
Reset Enable) configuration bit. Refer to
Section 20.0 for a description of the device configuration
bits. If STVREN is set (default), the 31st push will
push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL
bit, and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain
set and the stack pointer will be set to ‘0’.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the stack pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push,
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the stack
pointer remains at 0. The STKUNF bit will remain set
until cleared in software or a POR occurs.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the RESET vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken.PIC18FXX2

REGISTER 4-1: STKPTR REGISTER
FIGURE 4-3: RETURN ADDRESS STACK AND ASSOCIATED REGISTERS
4.2.3 PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS
Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,
the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values
off the stack without disturbing normal program execution
is a desirable option. To push the current PC value
onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.
This will increment the stack pointer and load the current
PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL
can then be modified to place a return address on the
stack.
The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and
replace it with the value that was previously pushed
onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is
achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruction
discards the current TOS by decrementing the
stack pointer. The previous value pushed onto the
stack then becomes the TOS value.
4.2.4 STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS
These resets are enabled by programming the
STVREN configuration bit. When the STVREN bit is
disabled, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate
STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device
RESET. When the STVREN bit is enabled, a full or
underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF
bit and then cause a device RESET. The STKFUL or
STKUNF bits are only cleared by the user software or
a POR Reset.

4.3 Fast Register Stack
A “fast interrupt return” option is available for interrupts.
A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers and are only one in depth.
The stack is not readable or writable and is loaded with
the current value of the corresponding register when
the processor vectors for an interrupt. The values in the
registers are then loaded back into the working registers,
if the FAST RETURN instruction is used to return
from the interrupt.
A low or high priority interrupt source will push values
into the stack registers. If both low and high priority
interrupts are enabled, the stack registers cannot be
used reliably for low priority interrupts. If a high priority
interrupt occurs while servicing a low priority interrupt,
the stack register values stored by the low priority interrupt
will be overwritten.
If high priority interrupts are not disabled during low priority
interrupts, users must save the key registers in
software during a low priority interrupt.
If no interrupts are used, the fast register stack can be
used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers
at the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register
stack for a subroutine call, a FAST CALL instruction
must be executed.
Example 4-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack.
EXAMPLE 4-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
4.4 PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU
The program counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21-bits
wide. The low byte is called the PCL register. This register
is readable and writable. The high byte is called
the PCH register. This register contains the PC<15:8>
bits and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to
the PCH register may be performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits and is not directly
readable or writable. Updates to the PCU register may
be performed through the PCLATU register.
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the LSB of PCL is fixed to a value of ’0’.
The PC increments by 2 to address sequential
instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be transferred
to the program counter by an operation that
writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter will be transferred to PCLATH and
PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful
for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 4.8.1).
4.5 Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the program
counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instruction
is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow
are shown in Figure 4-4.

4.6 Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle,
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO)
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 4-2).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register” (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).
EXAMPLE 4-2: INSTRUCTION PIPELINE FLOW
4.7 Instructions in Program Memory
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions
are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB =’0’). Figure 4-5 shows an
example of how instruction words are stored in the program
memory. To maintain alignment with instruction
boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the
LSB will always read ’0’ (see Section 4.4).
The CALL and GOTO instructions have an absolute program
memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries,
the data contained in the instruction is a word
address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 4-5 shows how the
instruction “GOTO 000006h’ is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions which encode a
relative address offset operate in the same manner.
The offset value stored in a branch instruction represents
the number of single word instructions that the
PC will be offset by. Section 20.0 provides further
details of the instruction set.
FIGURE 4-5: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles since the fetch instruction
is “flushed” from the pipeline while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.

PIC18FXX2
4.7.1 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The PIC18FXX2 devices have four two-word instructions:
MOVFF, CALL, GOTO and LFSR. The second
word of these instructions has the 4 MSBs set to 1’s
and is a special kind of NOP instruction. The lower 12
bits of the second word contain data to be used by the
instruction. If the first word of the instruction is executed,
the data in the second word is accessed. If the
second word of the instruction is executed by itself (first
word was skipped), it will execute as a NOP. This action
is necessary when the two-word instruction is preceded
by a conditional instruction that changes the PC. A program
example that demonstrates this concept is shown
in Example 4-3. Refer to Section 20.0 for further details
of the instruction set.
EXAMPLE 4-3: TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
4.8 Lookup Tables
Lookup tables are implemented two ways. These are:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
4.8.1 COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL).
A lookup table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions.
WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn
instructions, that returns the value 0xnn to the calling
function.
The offset value (value in WREG) specifies the number
of bytes that the program counter should advance.
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
4.8.2 TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows 2 bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Lookup table data may be stored 2 bytes per program
word by using table reads and writes. The table pointer
(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the table
latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from, or
written to program memory. Data is transferred to/from
program memory, one byte at a time.
A description of the Table Read/Table Write operation
is shown in Section 3.0.
CASE 1:

0110 0110 0000 0000 TSTFSZ REG1 ; is RAM location 0?
1100 0001 0010 0011 MOVFF REG1, REG2 ; No, execute 2-word instruction
1111 0100 0101 0110 ; 2nd operand holds address of REG2
0010 0100 0000 0000 ADDWF REG3 ; continue code
CASE 2:
Object Code Source Code
0110 0110 0000 0000 TSTFSZ REG1 ; is RAM location 0?
1100 0001 0010 0011 MOVFF REG1, REG2 ; Yes
1111 0100 0101 0110 ; 2nd operand becomes NOP
0010 0100 0000 0000 ADDWF REG3 ; continue code
Note: The ADDWF PCL instruction does not
update PCLATH and PCLATU. A read
operation on PCL must be performed to
update PCLATH and PCLATU.PIC18FXX2
DS39564C-page 42 © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.9 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each
register in the data memory has a 12-bit address,
allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 4-6
and Figure 4-7 show the data memory organization for
the PIC18FXX2 devices.
The data memory map is divided into as many as 16
banks that contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits of
the Bank Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which
bank will be accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are
not implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratch pad operations in the user’s application.
The SFRs start at the last location of Bank 15
(0xFFF) and extend downwards. Any remaining space
beyond the SFRs in the Bank may be implemented as
GPRs. GPRs start at the first location of Bank 0 and
grow upwards. Any read of an unimplemented location
will read as ’0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly or
indirectly. Direct addressing may require the use of the
BSR register. Indirect addressing requires the use of a
File Select Register (FSRn) and a corresponding Indirect
File Operand (INDFn). Each FSR holds a 12-bit
address value that can be used to access any location
in the Data Memory map without banking.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. This may be accomplished by indirect
addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The
MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction
that moves a value from one register to another.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank
is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of
Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 4.10
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.
4.9.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file can be accessed either directly or indirectly.
Indirect addressing operates using a File Select
Register and corresponding Indirect File Operand. The
operation of indirect addressing is shown in
Section 4.12.
Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in
the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other RESETS.
Data RAM is available for use as GPR registers by all
instructions. The top half of Bank 15 (0xF80 to 0xFFF)
contains SFRs. All other banks of data memory contain
GPR registers, starting with Bank 0.
4.9.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and Peripheral Modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers
are implemented as static RAM. A list of these
registers is given in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets; those associated
with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described in this section, while those related
to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section of that peripheral feature.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations will be unimplemented and
read as '0's. See Table 4-1 for addresses for the SFRs.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 43

4.10 Access Bank
The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement
which is very useful for C compiler code optimization.
The techniques used by the C compiler may also be
useful for programs written in assembly.
This data memory region can be used for:
• Intermediate computational values
• Local variables of subroutines
• Faster context saving/switching of variables
• Common variables
• Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
The Access Bank is comprised of the upper 128 bytes
in Bank 15 (SFRs) and the lower 128 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access RAM
High and Access RAM Low, respectively. Figure 4-6
and Figure 4-7 indicate the Access RAM areas.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in
the Access Bank. This bit is denoted by the ’a’ bit (for
access bit).
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last
address in Access RAM Low is followed by the first
address in Access RAM High. Access RAM High maps
the Special Function registers, so that these registers
can be accessed without any software overhead. This is
useful for testing status flags and modifying control bits.
4.11 Bank Select Register (BSR)
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into sixteen banks. When using direct
addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ’0’s, and
writes will have no effect.
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the
instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all '0's and all writes are ignored. The
STATUS register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate
for the instruction performed.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR, since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 4.12 provides a description of indirect addressing,
which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.

registers of the Access Bank.

4.12 Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data memory,
where the data memory address in the instruction
is not fixed. An FSR register is used as a pointer to the
data memory location that is to be read or written. Since
this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by
the program. This can be useful for data tables in the
data memory and for software stacks. Figure 4-9
shows the operation of indirect addressing. This shows
the moving of the value to the data memory address
specified by the value of the FSR register.
Indirect addressing is possible by using one of the
INDF registers. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses the register pointed to by the File
Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself,
indirectly (FSR = 0), will read 00h. Writing to the INDF
register indirectly, results in a no operation. The FSR
register contains a 12-bit address, which is shown in
Figure 4-10.
The INDFn register is not a physical register. Addressing
INDFn actually addresses the register whose
address is contained in the FSRn register (FSRn is a
pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Example 4-4 shows a simple use of indirect addressing
to clear the RAM in Bank1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a
minimum number of instructions.
EXAMPLE 4-4: HOW TO CLEAR RAM
(BANK1) USING INDIRECT
ADDRESSING
There are three indirect addressing registers. To
address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes),
these registers are 12-bit wide. To store the 12-bits of
addressing information, two 8-bit registers are
required. These indirect addressing registers are:
1. FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L
2. FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L
3. FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L
In addition, there are registers INDF0, INDF1 and
INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading
or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing,
with the value in the corresponding FSR register
being the address of the data. If an instruction writes a
value to INDF0, the value will be written to the address
pointed to by FSR0H:FSR0L. A read from INDF1 reads
the data from the address pointed to by
FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in code anywhere
an operand can be used.
If INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are read indirectly via an
FSR, all '0's are read (zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the
operation will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the
STATUS bits are not affected.
4.12.1 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
OPERATION
Each FSR register has an INDF register associated
with it, plus four additional register addresses. Performing
an operation on one of these five registers determines
how the FSR will be modified during indirect
addressing.
When data access is done to one of the five INDFn
locations, the address selected will configure the FSRn
register to:
• Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access (no
change) - INDFn
• Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect access
(post-decrement) - POSTDECn
• Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect access
(post-increment) - POSTINCn
• Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect access
(pre-increment) - PREINCn
• Use the value in the WREG register as an offset
to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the WREG or
the FSRn register after an indirect access (no
change) - PLUSWn
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement features,
the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
STATUS register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal '0', the Z bit will not be set.
Incrementing or decrementing an FSR affects all 12
bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an increment,
FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a
stack pointer, in addition to its uses for table operations
in data memory.
Each FSR has an address associated with it that performs
an indexed indirect access. When a data access
to this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the FSRn is
configured to add the signed value in the WREG register
and the value in FSR to form the address before an
indirect access. The FSR value is not changed.
If an FSR register contains a value that points to one of
the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (zero bit is
set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP
(STATUS bits are not affected).
If an indirect addressing operation is done where the
target address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register, the
write operation will dominate over the pre- or
post-increment/decrement functions.

4.13 STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 4-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register
can be the destination for any instruction, as with any
other register. If the STATUS register is the destination
for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV, or N bits,
then the write to these five bits is disabled. These bits
are set or cleared according to the device logic. Therefore,
the result of an instruction with the STATUS
register as destination may be different than intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to
alter the STATUS register, because these instructions
do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV, or N bits from the
STATUS register. For other instructions not affecting
any status bits, see Table 20-2.
REGISTER 4-2: STATUS REGISTER

complement of the second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is
loaded with either the bit 4 or bit 3 of the source register.

5.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The FLASH Program Memory is readable, writable,
and erasable during normal operation over the entire
VDD range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation
may not be issued from user code.
Writing or erasing program memory will cease instruction
fetches until the operation is complete. The program
memory cannot be accessed during the write or
erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal programming
timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
5.1 Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data
RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16-bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8-bits wide. Table Reads and Table
Writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table Read operations retrieve data from program
memory and places it into the data RAM space.
Figure 5-1 shows the operation of a Table Read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table Write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory.
The procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 5.5,
'”Writing to FLASH Program Memory”. Figure 5-2
shows the operation of a Table Write with program
memory and data RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block
can start and end at any byte address. If a Table Write
is being used to write executable code into program
memory, program instructions will need to be word
aligned.

FIGURE 5-2: TABLE WRITE OPERATION
5.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
• EECON1 register
• EECON2 register
• TABLAT register
• TBLPTR registers
5.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
Control bit CFGS determines if the access will be to the
configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
will operate on configuration registers, regardless of
EEPGD (see “Special Features of the CPU”,
Section 19.0). When clear, memory selection access is
determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When the FREE bit is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation.
In these situations, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to
reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and
EEADR), due to RESET values of zero.
Control bit WR initiates write operations. This bit cannot
be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in hardware
at the completion of the write operation. The
inability to clear the WR bit in software prevents the
accidental or premature termination of a write
operation.

5.2.2 TABLAT - TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The Table Latch is used to hold
8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
5.2.3 TBLPTR - TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) addresses a byte within
the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised of
three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers
join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low order 21
bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of program
memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to the
Device ID, the User ID and the Configuration bits.
The table pointer, TBLPTR, is used by the TBLRD and
TBLWT instructions. These instructions can update the
TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the table operation.
These operations are shown in Table 5-1. These
operations on the TBLPTR only affect the low order
21 bits.
5.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes, and erases of the
FLASH program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the Table
Pointer determine which byte is read from program
memory into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table
Pointer (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the eight
program memory holding registers is written to. When
the timed write to program memory (long write) begins,
the 19 MSbs of the Table Pointer, TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:3>), will determine which program memory
block of 8 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 5.5 (“Writing to FLASH Program Memory”).
When an erase of program memory is executed, the 16
MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:6>) point to the
64-byte block that will be erased. The Least Significant
bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 5-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on FLASH program memory
operations.

5.3 Reading the FLASH Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from program
memory and place into data RAM. Table Reads
from program memory are performed one byte at a
time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next Table Read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 5-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

5.4 Erasing FLASH Program memory
The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the FLASH array is not
supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller
itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the FLASH program
memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal
FLASH. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer.
5.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1. Load table pointer with address of row being
erased.
2. Set EEPGD bit to point to program memory,
clear CFGS bit to access program memory, set
WREN bit to enable writes, and set FREE bit to
enable the erase.
3. Disable interrupts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

5.5 Writing to FLASH Program
Memory
The minimum programming block is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table Writes are used internally to load the holding registers
needed to program the FLASH memory. There
are 8 holding registers used by the Table Writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the Table Write
operations will essentially be short writes, because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the internal
FLASH. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the voltage range of
the device for byte or word operations.
FIGURE 5-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
5.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Read 64 bytes into RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer with address being erased.
4. Do the row erase procedure.
5. Load Table Pointer with address of first byte
being written.
6. Write the first 8 bytes into the holding registers
with auto-increment (TBLWT*+ or TBLWT+*).
7. Set EEPGD bit to point to program memory,
clear the CFGS bit to access program memory,
and set WREN to enable byte writes.
8. Disable interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Repeat steps 6-14 seven times, to write
64 bytes.
15. Verify the memory (Table Read).
This procedure will require about 18 ms to update one
row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required
code is given in Example 5-3.

EXAMPLE 5-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
5.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory
should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
5.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected RESET, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and reprogrammed
if needed.The WRERR bit is set when a write
operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset, or a WDT
Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these situations,
users can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the
location.
5.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST SPURIOUS
WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to FLASH program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be followed.

6.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The Data EEPROM is readable and writable during
normal operation over the entire VDD range. The data
memory is not directly mapped in the register file
space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are four SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
• EECON1
• EECON2
• EEDATA
• EEADR
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the
address of the EEPROM location being accessed.
These devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM with
an address range from 0h to FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/
write cycles. A byte write automatically erases the location
and writes the new data (erase-before-write). The
write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write
time will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as
from chip to chip. Please refer to parameter D122
(Electrical Characteristics, Section 22.0) for exact
limits.
6.1 EEADR
The address register can address up to a maximum of
256 bytes of data EEPROM.
6.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
EECON1 is the control register for EEPROM memory
accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the EEPROM write sequence.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write operations,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only
set, in software. They are cleared in hardware at the
completion of the read or write operation. The inability
to clear the WR bit in software prevents the accidental
or premature termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset, or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation.
In these situations, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to
reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and
EEADR), due to the RESET condition forcing the
contents of the registers to zero.
Note: Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register,
is set when write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.PIC18FXX2

6.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD control
bit (EECON1<7>), clear the CFGS control bit
(EECON1<6>), and then set control bit RD
(EECON1<0>). The data is available for the very next
instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can
be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this
value until another read operation, or until it is written to
by the user (during a write operation).
EXAMPLE 6-1: DATA EEPROM READ
6.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADR register and the data written
to the EEDATA register. Then the sequence in
Example 6-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code execution
(i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADR and EDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruction.
Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user may either
enable this interrupt, or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.

6.5 Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory
should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
6.6 Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch, or software malfunction.
6.7 Operation During Code Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code protect
mechanism. External Read and Write operations are
disabled if either of these mechanisms are enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal Data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code protect configuration bit. Refer to “Special Features
of the CPU” (Section 19.0) for additional information.
6.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high endurance, byte addressable
array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program variables
or other data that are updated often). Frequently
changing values will typically be updated more often
than specification D124. If this is not the case, an array
refresh must be performed. For this reason, variables
that change infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration,
etc.) should be stored in FLASH program
memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 6-3.
EXAMPLE 6-3: DATA EEPROM REFRESH ROUTINE
Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store constants
and/or data that changes rarely, an
array refresh is likely not required. See
specification D124.

7.0 8 X 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
7.1 Introduction
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18FXX2 devices. By making the multiply a
hardware operation, it completes in a single instruction
cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives a 16-bit
result. The result is stored into the 16-bit product register
pair (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not
affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
algorithms
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 7-1 shows a performance comparison between
enhanced devices using the single cycle hardware multiply,
and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
TABLE 7-1: PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
7.2 Operation
Example 7-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
Example 7-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.

PIC18FXX2
8.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18FXX2 devices have multiple interrupt
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
each interrupt source to be assigned a high priority
level or a low priority level. The high priority interrupt
vector is at 000008h and the low priority interrupt vector
is at 000018h. High priority interrupt events will override
any low priority interrupts that may be in progress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
• RCON
• INTCON
• INTCON2
• INTCON3
• PIR1, PIR2
• PIE1, PIE2
• IPR1, IPR2
It is recommended that the Microchip header files supplied
with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
Each interrupt source, except INT0, has three bits to
control its operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts globally.
Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set. Setting the GIEL
bit (INTCON<6>) enables all interrupts that have the
priority bit cleared. When the interrupt flag, enable bit
and appropriate global interrupt enable bit are set, the
interrupt will vector immediately to address 000008h or
000018h, depending on the priority level. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
enable bits.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the interrupt
priority feature is disabled and interrupts are compatible
with PICmicro® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
000008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low
priority interrupt.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address
(000008h or 000018h). Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined
by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt
flag bits must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the Interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.PIC18FXX2

8.1 INTCON Registers
The INTCON Registers are readable and writable registers,
which contain various enable, priority and flag
bits.
REGISTER 8-1: INTCON REGISTER
Note: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit. User software should ensure
the appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear
prior to enabling an interrupt. This feature
allows for software polling.

8.6 INT0 Interrupt
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 pins are edge triggered: either rising, if the
corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in the INTCON2 register,
or falling, if the INTEDGx bit is clear. When a valid
edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding
flag bit INTxF is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit INTxE. Flag bit
INTxF must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service
Routine before re-enabling the interrupt. All external
interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-up the
processor from SLEEP, if bit INTxE was set prior to
going into SLEEP. If the global interrupt enable bit GIE
is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt vector
following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value contained in the interrupt priority bits, INT1IP
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There is
no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a high
priority interrupt source.
8.7 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow
(FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit
TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh → 0000h)
in the TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit TMR0IF.
The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/
clearing enable bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority
for Timer0 is determined by the value contained in
the interrupt priority bit TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See
Section 10.0 for further details on the Timer0 module.
8.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
8.9 Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, the return PC value is saved on the
stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers
are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast return
from interrupt is not used (See Section 4.3), the user
may need to save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers
in software. Depending on the user’s application,
other registers may also need to be saved. Equation 8-1
saves and restores the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.

PIC18FXX2
9.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected, there are either five
ports or three ports available. Some pins of the I/O
ports are multiplexed with an alternate function from
the peripheral features on the device. In general, when
a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not be used as a
general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
• TRIS register (data direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (output latch)
The data latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modifywrite
operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
9.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA
Registers
PORTA is a 7-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
The Data Latch register (LATA) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATA
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The RA4/
T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open drain
output. All other RA port pins have TTL input levels and
full CMOS output drivers.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs and the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs. The
operation of each pin is selected by clearing/setting the
control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control
Register1).
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

9.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTB.
EXAMPLE 9-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed
by clearing bit RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of the PORTB pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupton-change
feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change
comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF instruction). This will end the mismatch
condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
RB3 can be configured by the configuration bit
CCP2MX as the alternate peripheral pin for the CCP2
module (CCP2MX=’0’).

9.3 PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 9-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit
settings.
The pin override value is not loaded into the TRIS register.
This allows read-modify-write of the TRIS register,
without concern due to peripheral overrides.
RC1 is normally configured by configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the CCP2
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = ’1’).

9.4 PORTD, TRISD and LATD
Registers
This section is applicable only to the PIC18F4X2
devices.
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISD. Setting a
TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTD pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTD.
PORTD is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
Each pin is individually configurable as an input or
output.
PORTD can be configured as an 8-bit wide microprocessor
port (parallel slave port) by setting control bit
PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input buffers
are TTL. See Section 9.6 for additional information on
the Parallel Slave Port (PSP).

9.5 PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
This section is only applicable to the PIC18F4X2
devices.
PORTE is a 3-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding
Data Direction register is TRISE. Setting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register reads and writes the latched output value for
PORTE.
PORTE has three pins (RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6
and RE2/CS/AN7) which are individually configurable
as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger
input buffers.
Register 9-1 shows the TRISE register, which also
controls the parallel slave port operation.
PORTE pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. When
selected as an analog input, these pins will read as '0's.
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.

9.6 Parallel Slave Port
The Parallel Slave Port is implemented on the 40-pin
devices only (PIC18F4X2).
PORTD operates as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port,
or microprocessor port when control bit, PSPMODE
(TRISE<4>) is set. It is asynchronously readable and
writable by the external world through RD control input
pin, RE0/RD and WR control input pin, RE1/WR.
It can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data
bus. The external microprocessor can read or write the
PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting bit PSPMODE
enables port pin RE0/RD to be the RD input, RE1/WR
to be the WR input and RE2/CS to be the CS (chip
select) input. For this functionality, the corresponding
data direction bits of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>)
must be configured as inputs (set). The A/D port configuration
bits PCFG2:PCFG0 (ADCON1<2:0>) must be
set, which will configure pins RE2:RE0 as digital I/O.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low. A read from the PSP occurs
when both the CS and RD lines are first detected low.
The PORTE I/O pins become control inputs for the
microprocessor port when bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>)
is set. In this mode, the user must make sure that the
TRISE<2:0> bits are set (pins are configured as digital
inputs), and the ADCON1 is configured for digital I/O.
In this mode, the input buffers are TTL.

10.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit. In
Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0L register
is written, the increment is inhibited for the following
two instruction cycles. The user can work around
this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0L register.
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit. In
Counter mode, Timer0 will increment, either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing
edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit (T0SE). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising
edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are
discussed below.
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized with the internal
phase clock (TOSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
10.2 Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
The PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits determine the
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4,..., 1:256 are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0L register (e.g., CLRF TMR0,
MOVWF TMR0, BSF TMR0, x....etc.) will clear the
prescaler count.
10.2.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software control,
(i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution).
10.3 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register
overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or FFFFh
to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the TMR0IF
bit. The interrupt can be masked by clearing the
TMR0IE bit. The TMR0IE bit must be cleared in software
by the Timer0 module Interrupt Service Routine
before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt
cannot awaken the processor from SLEEP, since the
timer is shut-off during SLEEP.
10.4 16-Bit Mode Timer Reads and
Writes
TMR0H is not the high byte of the timer/counter in
16-bit mode, but is actually a buffered version of the
high byte of Timer0 (refer to Figure 10-2). The high byte
of the Timer0 counter/timer is not directly readable nor
writable. TMR0H is updated with the contents of the
high byte of Timer0 during a read of TMR0L. This provides
the ability to read all 16-bits of Timer0 without
having to verify that the read of the high and low byte
were valid due to a rollover between successive reads
of the high and low byte.
A write to the high byte of Timer0 must also take place
through the TMR0H buffer register. Timer0 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR0H when a write
occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16-bits of Timer0 to be
updated at once.
TABLE 10-1: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH TIMER0
Note: Writing to TMR0L when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

11.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers; TMR1H and TMR1L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• RESET from CCP module special event trigger
Figure 11-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer1
module.
Register 11-1 details the Timer1 control register. This
register controls the Operating mode of the Timer1
module, and contains the Timer1 oscillator enable bit
(T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

11.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
The Operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
When TMR1CS = 0, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. When TMR1CS = 1, Timer1 increments on
every rising edge of the external clock input or the
Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored, and the pins are read as ‘0’.
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This
RESET can be generated by the CCP module
(Section 14.0).

11.2 Timer1 Oscillator
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator
is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. It will
continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended
for a 32 kHz crystal. Table 11-1 shows the capacitor
selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.
TABLE 11-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
THE ALTERNATE
OSCILLATOR
11.3 Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 Register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
TMR1 Interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/
clearing TMR1 interrupt enable bit, TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
11.4 Resetting Timer1 using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger” (CCP1M3:CCP1M0
= 1011), this signal will reset Timer1 and start an A/D
conversion (if the A/D module is enabled).
Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized
Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this RESET operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take
precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L registers
pair effectively becomes the period register for
Timer1.
11.5 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 11-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16-bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte followed by a read of the low byte is valid,
due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H buffer register. Timer1 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR1H when a write
occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16 bits
to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or writable
in this mode. All reads and writes must take place
through the Timer1 high byte buffer register. Writes to
TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler. The
prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

Note 1: Microchip suggests 33 pF as a starting

2: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer
for appropriate values of external
components.

12.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module timer has the following features:
• 8-bit timer (TMR2 register)
• 8-bit period register (PR2)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
• Interrupt on TMR2 match of PR2
• SSP module optional use of TMR2 output to
generate clock shift
Timer2 has a control register shown in Register 12-1.
Timer2 can be shut-off by clearing control bit TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>) to minimize power consumption.
Figure 12-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer2
module. Register 12-1 shows the Timer2 control register.
The prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer2
are controlled by this register.
12.1 Timer2 Operation
Timer2 can be used as the PWM time-base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR2 register is
readable and writable, and is cleared on any device
RESET. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The match output
of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device RESET (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

12.2 Timer2 Interrupt
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is
initialized to FFh upon RESET.
12.3 Output of TMR2
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the
Synchronous Serial Port module, which optionally uses
it to generate the shift clock.

13.1 Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
The Operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>).
When TMR3CS = 0, Timer3 increments every instruction
cycle. When TMR3CS = 1, Timer3 increments on
every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input or
the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored, and the pins are read as ‘0’.
Timer3 also has an internal “RESET input”. This RESET
can be generated by the CCP module (Section 14.0).

13.2 Timer1 Oscillator
The Timer1 oscillator may be used as the clock source
for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting
the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. The oscillator is a low
power oscillator rated up to 200 KHz. See Section 11.0
for further details.
13.3 Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 Register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
TMR3 Interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF
(PIR2<1>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing TMR3 interrupt enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
13.4 Resetting Timer3 Using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger” (CCP1M3:CCP1M0
= 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
Timer3 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized
Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this RESET operation may not work. In the event that a
write to Timer3 coincides with a special event trigger
from CCP1, the write will take precedence. In this mode
of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L registers pair
effectively becomes the period register for Timer3.

module will not set interrupt flag bit,

14.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
Each CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) module contains
a 16-bit register which can operate as a 16-bit Capture
register, as a 16-bit Compare register or as a PWM
Master/Slave Duty Cycle register. Table 14-1 shows
the timer resources of the CCP Module modes.
The operation of CCP1 is identical to that of CCP2, with
the exception of the special event trigger. Therefore,
operation of a CCP module in the following sections is
described with respect to CCP1.
Table 14-2 shows the interaction of the CCP modules.

14.3 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3 registers when an
event occurs on pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as
one of the following:
• every falling edge
• every rising edge
• every 4th rising edge
• every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt
request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set; it must be
cleared in software. If another capture occurs before the
value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured value
is overwritten by the new captured value.
14.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
14.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(either Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer
mode or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not
work. The timer to be used with each CCP module is
selected in the T3CON register.
14.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such
change in Operating mode.
14.3.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is
turned off or the CCP module is not in Capture mode,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
RESET will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 14-1 shows the recommended
method for switching between capture prescalers.
This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

14.4 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 (CCPR2) register
value is constantly compared against either the TMR1
register pair value, or the TMR3 register pair value.
When a match occurs, the RC2/CCP1 (RC1/CCP2) pin
is:
• driven High
• driven Low
• toggle output (High to Low or Low to High)
• remains unchanged
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP2M3:CCP2M0). At the
same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF (CCP2IF) is set.
14.4.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRISC bit.
14.4.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
14.4.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When generate software interrupt is chosen, the CCP1
pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated (if
enabled).
14.4.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated,
which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the
TMR1 register pair. This allows the CCPR1 register to
effectively be a 16-bit programmable period register for
Timer1.
The special trigger output of CCPx resets either the
TMR1 or TMR3 register pair. Additionally, the CCP2
Special Event Trigger will start an A/D conversion if the
A/D module is enabled.
FIGURE 14-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the RC2/CCP1 compare output latch to the
default low level. This is not the PORTC
I/O data latch.
Note: The special event trigger from the CCP2
module will not set the Timer1 or Timer3
interrupt flag bits.

14.5 PWM Mode
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an output.
Figure 14-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 14.5.3.
FIGURE 14-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
A PWM output (Figure 14-4) has a time-base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 14-4: PWM OUTPUT
14.5.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
PWM period = (PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period].
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
14.5.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
PWM duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 prescale value)
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR1H is a read only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2 concatenated
with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the
TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the equation:
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.

14.5.3 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 register.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the
TRISC<2> bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2
by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM operation.

15.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
15.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display
drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
• Master mode
• Multi-Master mode
• Slave mode
15.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two
control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use
of these registers and their individual configuration bits
differ significantly, depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
15.3 SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8-bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received, simultaneously. All four modes
of SPI are supported. To accomplish communication,
typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) - RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) - RC4/SDI/SDA
• Serial Clock (SCK) - RC3/SCK/SCL/LVDIN
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) - RA5/SS/AN4
Figure 15-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.

15.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
• MSSP Control Register1 (SSPCON1)
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly
accessible
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 register
is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the
SSPSTAT are read only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double buffered.
A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF and
SSPSR.

15.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPCON1<5:0>) and SSPSTAT<7:6>.
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
• Clock Polarity (IDLE state of SCK)
• Data input sample phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive Shift Register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR,
until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then the buffer full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>), and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just received. Any write to the
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data
will be ignored, and the write collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear
the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer
full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when SSPBUF
has been loaded with the received data (transmission
is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, the BF bit is
cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a
transmitter. Generally, the MSSP Interrupt is used to
determine when the transmission/reception has completed.
The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the
interrupt method is not going to be used, then software
polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does
not occur. Example 15-1 shows the loading of the
SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable, and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

15.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON registers, and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function,
some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed. That is:
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
• SS must have TRISC<4> bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
15.3.4 TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 15-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed
clock edge, and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock. Both processors should be programmed
to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both
controllers would send and receive data at the same
time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data — Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data — Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data — Slave sends data

15.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 15-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled
(programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately programming
the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then, would
give waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
Figure 15-3, Figure 15-5, and Figure 15-6, where the
MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the SPI clock
rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the
following:
• FOSC/4 (or TCY)
• FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
• FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
• Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of
10.00 Mbps.
Figure 15-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

15.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in SLEEP mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from sleep.
15.3.7 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not be driven
low for the SS pin to function as an input. The Data
Latch must be high. When the SS pin is low, transmission
and reception are enabled and the SDO pin is
driven. When the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no
longer driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted
byte, and becomes a floating output. External pull-up/
pull-down resistors may be desirable, depending on the
application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to a
high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver the SDO pin can be configured as
an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function),
since it cannot create a bus conflict.
FIGURE 15-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.

15.3.8 SLEEP OPERATION
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from SLEEP. After the device returns to
Normal mode, the module will continue to transmit/
receive data.
In Slave mode, the SPI transmit/receive shift register
operates asynchronously to the device. This allows the
device to be placed in SLEEP mode and data to be
shifted into the SPI transmit/receive shift register.
When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device
from SLEEP.
15.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A RESET disables the MSSP module and terminates
the current transfer.

15.4 I2C Mode
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call support)
and provides interrupts on START and STOP bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master function).
The MSSP module implements the Standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial clock (SCL) - RC3/SCK/SCL
• Serial data (SDA) - RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.
FIGURE 15-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C MODE)
15.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
These are:
• MSSP Control Register1 (SSPCON1)
• MSSP Control Register2 (SSPCON2)
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly
accessible
• MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
SSPCON, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read
only. The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/
write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPADD register holds the slave device address
when the SSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When
the SSP is configured in Master mode, the lower
seven bits of SSPADD act as the baud rate generator
reload value.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together,
create a double buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double buffered.
A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF and
SSPSR.

15.4.2 OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C operation.
Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
• I2C Master mode, clock = OSC/4 (SSPADD +1)
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I2C Firmware controlled master operation, slave
is IDLE
Selection of any I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, provided
these pins are programmed to inputs by setting
the appropriate TRISC bits. To guarantee proper operation
of the module, pull-up resistors must be provided
externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
15.4.3 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured
as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
START and STOP bits
When an address is matched or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically
will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and
load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
• The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I
2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter 100 and
parameter 101.
15.4.3.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a START condition to occur. Following the START condition,
the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
2. The buffer full bit BF is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. MSSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) on the falling
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal
‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two
MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for 10-bit
address is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the
slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF,
BF and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of Address (clears bit UA and releases the
SCL line).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of Address (bits
SSPIF, BF, and UA are set).
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)
byte of Address. If match releases SCL line, this
will clear bit UA.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
7. Receive Repeated START condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF
and BF are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 139

15.4.3.2 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is
set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) must be cleared in software.
The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the
status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON1<0>=1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer.
The clock must be released by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON<4>). See Section 15.4.4 (“Clock Stretching”),
for more detail.
15.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held
low, regardless of SEN (see “Clock Stretching”,
Section 15.4.4, for more detail). By stretching the clock,
the master will be unable to assert another clock pulse
until the slave is done preparing the transmit data.The
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register,
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/
SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on
the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the
SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time
(Figure 15-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete.
In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT register)
and the slave monitors for another occurrence of
the START bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register.
Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting
bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.PIC18FXX2

15.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7- and 10-bit Slave modes implement automatic
clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
15.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence, if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is automatically
cleared, forcing the SCL output to be held
low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the SCL
line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s ISR
before reception is allowed to continue. By holding the
SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR and
read the contents of the SSPBUF before the master
device can initiate another receive sequence. This will
prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see
Figure 15-13).
15.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode, during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address, and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
15.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretching
by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock, if the BF bit is clear. This occurs,
regardless of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission
is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 15-9).
15.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is controlled
during the first two address sequences by the
state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave Receive
mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third
address sequence, which contains the high order bits
of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to ‘1’. After
the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is
not set, the module is now configured in Transmit
mode, and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag,
as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 15-11).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software,
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence, in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by reading
the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a data
sequence, not an address sequence.
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software,
regardless of the state of the BF bit.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 145
PIC18FXX2
15.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
If a user clears the CKP bit, the SCL output is forced to
‘0’. Setting the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output
low until the SCL output is already sampled low. If the
user attempts to drive SCL low, the CKP bit will not
assert the SCL line until an external I2C master device
has already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set, and all other
devices on the I2C bus have de-asserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 15-12).

15.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the START condition usually determines
which device will be the slave addressed by the
master. The exception is the general call address,
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all 0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the General
Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled (SSPCON2<7>
set). Following a START bit detect, 8-bits are shifted
into the SSPSR and the address is compared against
the SSPADD. It is also compared to the general call
address and fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth
bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit),
the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the interrupt
can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match, and the UA
bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configured in 10-bit Address mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set, and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 15-15).

15.4.6 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the START and STOP
conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are
cleared from a RESET or when the MSSP module is
disabled. Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the
P bit is set or the bus is IDLE, with both the S and P bits
clear.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code conducts
all I2C bus operations based on START and
STOP bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options.
1. Assert a START condition on SDA and SCL.
2. Assert a Repeated START condition on SDA
and SCL.
3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating
transmission of data/address.
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
6. Generate a STOP condition on SDA and SCL.
The following events will cause SSP interrupt flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt if enabled):
• START condition
• STOP condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
• Acknowledge Transmit
• Repeated START
FIGURE 15-16: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C MASTER MODE)
Note: The MSSP Module, when configured in I2C
Master mode, does not allow queueing of
events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a START condition and
immediately write the SSPBUF register to
initiate transmission before the START
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write
to the SSPBUF did not occur.

15.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer
is ended with a STOP condition or with a Repeated
START condition. Since the Repeated START condition
is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the
I
2C bus will not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic '0'. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted,
an Acknowledge bit is received. START and STOP
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains
the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic '1'. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a '1' to indicate receive bit. Serial
data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the serial
clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After each
byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted.
START and STOP conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The baud rate generator used for the SPI mode operation
is used to set the SCL clock frequency for either
100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 15.4.7 (“Baud Rate Generator”), for more
detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a START condition by setting
the START enable bit, SEN
(SSPCON2<0>).
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP Module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are
transmitted.
9. The MSSP Module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF
bit.
11. The user generates a STOP condition by setting
the STOP enable bit PEN (SSPCON2<2>).
12. Interrupt is generated once the STOP condition
is complete.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 151
PIC18FXX2
15.4.7 BAUD RATE GENERATOR
In I2C Master mode, the baud rate generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 15-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the baud rate generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down to 0 and stops
until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission
of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 15-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

low time of clock period, producing the effective frequency.PIC18FXX2

15.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated START/STOP condition,
de-asserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the baud rate
generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until the
SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL pin is
sampled high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with
the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting.
This ensures that the SCL high time will always be at
least one BRG rollover count, in the event that the clock
is held low by an external device (Figure 15-18).

15.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a START condition, the user sets the START
condition enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the baud rate generator
is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high
when the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being
driven low, while SCL is high, is the START condition
and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following
this, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count.
When the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared
by hardware, the baud rate generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the START condition
is complete.
15.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a START
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents
of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
FIGURE 15-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If at the beginning of the START condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sampled
low, or if during the START condition
the SCL line is sampled low before the
SDA line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLIF is set, the START condition is
aborted, and the I2C module is reset into its
IDLE state.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the START
condition is complete.

15.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated START condition occurs when the RSEN
bit (SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C
logic module is in the IDLE state. When the RSEN bit is
set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is
sampled low, the baud rate generator is loaded with the
contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one baud rate
generator count (TBRG). When the baud rate generator
times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will be
de-asserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled
high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents
of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA and
SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This action is
then followed by assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for
one TBRG,
while SCL is high. Following this, the RSEN
bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and
the baud rate generator will not be reloaded, leaving
the SDA pin held low. As soon as a START condition is
detected on the SDA and SCL pins, the S bit
(SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be set
until the baud rate generator has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).
15.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated
START sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and
the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write
doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 15-20: REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated
START condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low to high.
• SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data "1".
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated
START condition is complete.

15.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address, or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will
set the buffer full flag bit, BF, and allow the baud rate
generator to begin counting and start the next transmission.
Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto
the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is asserted
(see data hold time specification parameter 106). SCL
is held low for one baud rate generator rollover count
(TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL is released
high (see data setup time specification parameter 107).
When the SCL pin is released high, it is held that way
for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin must remain stable
for that duration and some hold time after the next falling
edge of SCL. After the eighth bit is shifted out (the
falling edge of the eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared
and the master releases SDA. This allows the slave
device being addressed to respond with an ACK bit
during the ninth bit time if an address match occurred
or if data was received properly. The status of ACK is
written into the ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the
ninth clock. If the master receives an Acknowledge, the
Acknowledge status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not,
the bit is set. After the ninth clock, the SSPIF bit is set
and the master clock (baud rate generator) is suspended
until the next data byte is loaded into the
SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged
(Figure 15-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will
be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all seven
address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the falling
edge of the eighth clock, the master will de-assert
the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an
Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock, the
master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>).
Following the falling edge of the ninth clock transmission
of the address, the SSPIF is set, the BF flag is
cleared and the baud rate generator is turned off until
another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holding SCL
low and allowing SDA to float.
15.4.10.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
15.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
WCOL must be cleared in software.
15.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge (ACK
= 0), and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge
(ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when it has
recognized its address (including a general call) or
when the slave has properly received its data.
15.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
receive enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
The baud rate generator begins counting, and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high to low/
low to high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is
set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the baud rate generator
is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The
MSSP is now in IDLE state, awaiting the next command.
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag
bit is automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception, by setting the
Acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
15.4.11.1 BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.
15.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
15.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a data
byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: In the MSSP module, the RCEN bit must
be set after the ACK sequence or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded. PIC18FXX2

15.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to generate
an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The baud rate generator
then counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the
SCL pin is de-asserted (pulled high). When the SCL pin
is sampled high (clock arbitration), the baud rate generator
counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then pulled low. Following
this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the
baud rate generator is turned off and the MSSP module
then goes into IDLE mode (Figure 15-23).
15.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the contents
of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
15.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A STOP bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the STOP sequence enable
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/transmit
the SCL line is held low after the falling edge of the
ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master will
assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is sampled
low, the baud rate generator is reloaded and counts
down to 0. When the baud rate generator times out, the
SCL pin will be brought high, and one TBRG (baud rate
generator rollover count) later, the SDA pin will be
de-asserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high while
SCL is high, the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG
later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPIF bit is set
(Figure 15-24).
15.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag

15.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION
While in SLEEP mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses or data, and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from SLEEP (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
15.4.15 EFFECT OF A RESET
A RESET disables the MSSP module and terminates
the current transfer.
15.4.16 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the START and STOP conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The STOP (P)
and START (S) bits are cleared from a RESET or when
the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus
may be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or
the bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will generate the
interrupt when the STOP condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be monitored
for arbitration, to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware, with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
• Address Transfer
• Data Transfer
• A START Condition
• A Repeated START Condition
• An Acknowledge Condition
15.4.17 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION, AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration.
When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a '1' on SDA, by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a '0'. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a '1' and the data sampled on the SDA pin = '0',
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag BCLIF and reset the I2C
port to its IDLE state (Figure 15-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are de-asserted, and
the SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the
I
2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a START condition.
If a START, Repeated START, STOP, or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are de-asserted, and the respective control bits in
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication
by asserting a START condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a STOP condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of START and STOP conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C
bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is IDLE and the S and P bits are
cleared.

15.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a START
Condition
During a START condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the START condition (Figure 15-26).
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 15-27).
During a START condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
• the START condition is aborted,
• the BCLIF flag is set, and
• the MSSP module is reset to its IDLE state
(Figure 15-26).
The START condition begins with the SDA and SCL
pins de-asserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high,
the baud rate generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs, because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data '1' during the START condition.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 15-28). If, however, a '1' is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The baud rate generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0, and during this time, if the SCL pins
are sampled as '0', a bus collision does not occur. At
the end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
FIGURE 15-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor
during a START condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a START condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDA before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision, because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address following
the START condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
START or STOP conditions.

15.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
START Condition
During a Repeated START condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indicating
that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ’1’.
When the user de-asserts SDA and the pin is allowed
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then de-asserted,
and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ’0’,
Figure 15-29). If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. If SDA goes from high to
low before the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs
because no two masters can assert SDA at exactly the
same time.
If SCL goes from high to low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmit a data ’1’ during the Repeated START
condition, Figure 15-30.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated START condition is
complete.

15.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a STOP
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a STOP condition if:
a) After the SDA pin has been de-asserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) After the SCL pin is de-asserted, SCL is
sampled low before SDA goes high.
The STOP condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the baud rate generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data '0' (Figure 15-31). If the SCL pin is sampled
low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision
occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data '0' (Figure 15-32).

ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (USART)
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Communications
Interface or SCI.) The USART can be configured
as a full duplex asynchronous system that can
communicate with peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals
and personal computers, or it can be configured
as a half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A
integrated circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex)
• Synchronous - Master (half-duplex)
• Synchronous - Slave (half-duplex)
In order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT

16.1 USART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit
baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the
period of a free running 8-bit timer. In Asynchronous
mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 16-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internal clock).
Given the desired baud rate and Fosc, the nearest integer
value for the SPBRG register can be calculated
using the formula in Table 16-1. From this, the error in
baud rate can be determined.
Example 16-1 shows the calculation of the baud rate
error for the following conditions:
• FOSC = 16 MHz
• Desired Baud Rate = 9600
• BRGH = 0
• SYNC = 0
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is
because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the
baud rate error in some cases.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before
outputting the new baud rate.
16.1.1 SAMPLING
The data on the RC7/RX/DT pin is sampled three times
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a
low level is present at the RX pin.
EXAMPLE 16-1: CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
TABLE 16-1: BAUD RATE FORMULA
TABLE 16-2: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH BAUD RATE GENERATOR
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC / (64 (X + 1))
Solving for X:
X = ( (FOSC / Desired Baud Rate) / 64 ) – 1
X = ((16000000 / 9600) / 64) – 1
X = [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)
Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600) / 9600
= 0.16%

16.2 USART Asynchronous Mode
In this mode, the USART uses standard non-return-tozero
(NRZ) format (one START bit, eight or nine data
bits and one STOP bit). The most common data format
is 8-bits. An on-chip dedicated 8-bit baud rate generator
can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies
from the oscillator. The USART transmits and
receives the LSb first. The USART’s transmitter and
receiver are functionally independent, but use the
same data format and baud rate. The baud rate generator
produces a clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift
rate, depending on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not
supported by the hardware, but can be implemented in
software (and stored as the ninth data bit).
Asynchronous mode is stopped during SLEEP.
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit SYNC
(TXSTA<4>).
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the
following important elements:
• Baud Rate Generator
• Sampling Circuit
• Asynchronous Transmitter
• Asynchronous Receiver
16.2.1 USART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the read/write transmit buffer, TXREG. The
TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The
TSR register is not loaded until the STOP bit has been
transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the
STOP bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new
data from the TXREG register (if available). Once the
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register
(occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty and
flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE
( PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of the
state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in software.
It will reset only when new data is loaded into the
TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicated the status
of the TXREG register, another bit, TRMT
(TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR register. Status
bit TRMT is a read-only bit, which is set when the
TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this
bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to determine
if the TSR register is empty.
To set up an asynchronous transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH (Section 16.1).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).

Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN
is set.

16.2.2 USART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 16-4.
The data is received on the RC7/RX/DT pin and drives
the data recovery block. The data recovery block is
actually a high speed shifter operating at x16 times the
baud rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter operates
at the bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would
typically be used in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH (Section 16.1).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
6. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete
and an interrupt will be generated if enable
bit RCIE was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
16.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is required,
set the BRGH bit.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete.
The interrupt will be acknowledged if the
RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

16.3 USART Synchronous Master
Mode
In Synchronous Master mode, the data is transmitted in
a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission and reception
do not occur at the same time). When transmitting data,
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous
mode is entered by setting bit SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In
addition, enable bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) is set in order
to configure the RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT I/O pins
to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively. The
Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the
master clock on the CK line. The Master mode is
entered by setting bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).
16.3.1 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the read/write transmit buffer register
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register
(occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty and interrupt
bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE
(PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of the
state of enable bit TXIE, and cannot be cleared in software.
It will reset only when new data is loaded into the
TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status
of the TXREG register, another bit TRMT (TXSTA<1>)
shows the status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read
only bit, which is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt
logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this
bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty.
The TSR is not mapped in data memory, so it is not
available to the user.
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (Section 16.1).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
TABLE 16-8: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH SYNCHRONOUS MASTER TRANSMISSION
Note: TXIF is not cleared immediately upon loading
data into the transmit buffer TXREG.
The flag bit becomes valid in the second
instruction cycle following the load
instruction.

16.3.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either enable bit SREN
(RCSTA<5>), or enable bit CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is
sampled on the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of
the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, only a single word
is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (Section 16.1).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

16.4 USART Synchronous Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode differs from the Master mode
in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at
the RC6/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied internally
in Master mode). This allows the device to transfer or
receive data while in SLEEP mode. Slave mode is
entered by clearing bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).
16.4.1 USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
TRANSMIT
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical, except in the case of the SLEEP
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in TXREG register.
c) Flag bit TXIF will not be set.
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be
set.
e) If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from SLEEP. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by setting
bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

16.4.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of the SLEEP
mode and bit SREN, which is a “don't care” in Slave
mode.
If receive is enabled by setting bit CREN prior to the
SLEEP instruction, then a word may be received during
SLEEP. On completely receiving the word, the RSR
register will transfer the data to the RCREG register,
and if enable bit RCIE bit is set, the interrupt generated
will wake the chip from SLEEP. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
5. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete.
An interrupt will be generated if enable bit
RCIE was set.
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has five
inputs for the PIC18F2X2 devices and eight for the
PIC18F4X2 devices. This module has the ADCON0
and ADCON1 register definitions that are compatible
with the mid-range A/D module.
The A/D allows conversion of an analog input signal to
a corresponding 10-bit digital number.
The A/D module has four registers. These registers
are:
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 17-1, controls
the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1
register, shown in Register 17-2, configures the
functions of the port pins.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/
VREF+ pin and RA2/AN2/VREF- pin.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. To operate
in SLEEP, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the A/D module to be turned off and
any conversion is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input (RA3 can also be a
voltage reference) or as a digital I/O.
The ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result
of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is
complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH/
ADRESL registers, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is
cleared, and A/D interrupt flag bit, ADIF is set. The block
diagram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 17-1.

The value that is in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is
not modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/
ADRESL registers will contain unknown data after a
Power-on Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the conversion
is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 17.1.
After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conversion
can be started. The following steps should be
followed for doing an A/D conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
• Set PEIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time.
4. Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
(interrupts disabled)
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH/ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.
17.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 17-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.
FIGURE 17-2: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note: When the conversion is started, the holding
capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 17-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
EQUATION 17-1: ACQUISITION TIME
EQUATION 17-2: A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME
Example 17-1 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time, TACQ. This calculation is
based on the following application system assumptions:
• CHOLD = 120 pF
• Rs = 2.5 kΩ
• Conversion Error ≤ 1/2 LSb
• VDD = 5V → Rss = 7 kΩ
• Temperature = 50°C (system max.)
• VHOLD = 0V @ time = 0
EXAMPLE 17-1: CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Holding Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF
VHOLD = (VREF – (VREF/2048)) • (1 – e(-Tc/CHOLD(RIC + RSS + RS)))
or
TC = -(120 pF)(1 kΩ + RSS + RS) ln(1/2048)
TACQ = TAMP + TC + TCOFF
Temperature coefficient is only required for temperatures > 25°C.
TACQ = 2 μs + TC + [(Temp – 25°C)(0.05 μs/°C)]
TC = -CHOLD (RIC + RSS + RS) ln(1/2048)

17.2 Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 12 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. The seven possible options for TAD are:
• 2 TOSC
• 4 TOSC
• 8 TOSC
• 16 TOSC
• 32 TOSC
• 64 TOSC
• Internal A/D module RC oscillator (2-6 μs)
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 μs.
Table 17-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
17.3 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA and TRISE registers control the
operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins that are
desired as analog inputs, must have their corresponding
TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output),
the digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
TABLE 17-1: TAD vs. DEVICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES
Note 1: When reading the port register, all pins configured
as analog input channels will read
as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as
digital inputs will convert an analog input.
Analog levels on a digitally configured input
will not affect the conversion accuracy.
2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as
a digital input (including the AN4:AN0
pins) may cause the input buffer to consume
current that is out of the device’s
specification.

17.4 A/D Conversions
Figure 17-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set. Clearing the GO/DONE
bit during a conversion will abort the current conversion.
The A/D result register pair will NOT be updated
with the partially completed A/D conversion sample.
That is, the ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue
to contain the value of the last completed conversion
(or the last value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is aborted, a 2 TAD wait
is required before the next acquisition is started. After
this 2 TAD wait, acquisition on the selected channel is
automatically started. The GO/DONE bit can then be
set to start the conversion.
FIGURE 17-3: A/D CONVERSION TAD CYCLES
17.4.1 A/D RESULT REGISTERS
The ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is the location
where the 10-bit A/D result is loaded at the completion
of the A/D conversion. This register pair is 16-bits wide.
The A/D module gives the flexibility to left or right justify
the 10-bit result in the 16-bit result register. The A/D
Format Select bit (ADFM) controls this justification.
Figure 17-4 shows the operation of the A/D result justification.
The extra bits are loaded with ’0’s. When an
A/D result will not overwrite these locations (A/D
disable), these registers may be used as two general
purpose 8-bit registers.

17.5 Use of the CCP2 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event
trigger” of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be programmed
as 1011 and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/
DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion, and
the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition done before the “special
event trigger” sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a
conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
“special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D
module, but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3)
counter.

18.0 LOW VOLTAGE DETECT
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created, where the application software
can do “housekeeping tasks” before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be
done using the Low Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry,
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt
vector address and the software can then respond
to that interrupt source.
The Low Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
software control. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the software, which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
Figure 18-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shutdown the system. Voltage point VB is the
minimum valid operating voltage specification. This
occurs at time TB. The difference TB - TA is the total
time for shutdown.
FIGURE 18-1: TYPICAL LOW VOLTAGE DETECT APPLICATION
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 18-2. A comparator uses an internally generated
reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
software programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 18-2). The trip point is selected by
programming the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

FIGURE 18-2: LOW VOLTAGE DETECT (LVD) BLOCK DIAGRAM
The LVD module has an additional feature that allows
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from
an external source. This mode is enabled when bits
LVDL3:LVDL0 are set to 1111. In this state, the comparator
input is multiplexed from the external input pin,
LVDIN (Figure 18-3). This gives users flexibility,
because it allows them to configure the Low Voltage
Detect interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid
operating range.

18.2 Operation
Depending on the power source for the device voltage,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be constantly
operating. To decrease the current requirements,
the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for
short periods, where the voltage is checked. After
doing the check, the LVD module may be disabled.
Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1. Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register), which selects the desired
LVD Trip Point.
2. Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared).
3. Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
4. Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
5. Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
6. Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the
GIE bits).
Figure 18-4 shows typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

18.2.1 REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The Internal Reference Voltage of the LVD module may
be used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36. The low voltage
interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 18-4.
18.2.2 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current.
The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple
places in the resistor array. Total current consumption,
when enabled, is specified in electrical specification
parameter #D022B.
18.3 Operation During SLEEP
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during SLEEP. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will wakeup
from SLEEP. Device execution will continue from
the interrupt vector address if interrupts have been
globally enabled.
18.4 Effects of a RESET
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the LVD module to be turned off. PIC18FXX2

All PIC18FXX2 devices have a Watchdog Timer, which
is permanently enabled via the configuration bits or
software controlled. It runs off its own RC oscillator for
added reliability. There are two timers that offer necessary
delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in RESET until
the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is the Powerup
Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed delay on
power-up only, designed to keep the part in RESET
while the power supply stabilizes. With these two timers
on-chip, most applications need no external
RESET circuitry.
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
Power-down mode. The user can wake-up from
SLEEP through external RESET, Watchdog Timer
Wake-up or through an interrupt. Several oscillator
options are also made available to allow the part to fit
the application. The RC oscillator option saves system
cost, while the LP crystal option saves power. A set of
configuration bits are used to select various options.
19.1 Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as '0'),
or left unprogrammed (read as '1'), to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h - 3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using Table Reads and
Table Writes.
Programming the configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the FLASH memory
(see Section 5.5.1). The only difference is the configuration
registers are written a byte at a time. The
sequence of events for programming configuration
registers is:
1. Load table pointer with address of configuration
register being written.
2. Write a single byte using the TBLWT instruction.
3. Set EEPGD to point to program memory, set the
CFGS bit to access configuration registers, and
set WREN to enable byte writes.
4. Disable interrupts.
5. Write 55h to EECON2.
6. Write AAh to EECON2.
7. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
8. CPU will stall for duration of write (approximately
2 ms using internal timer).
9. Execute a NOP.
10. Re-enable interrupts.PIC18FXX2

19.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a free running on-chip RC oscillator,
which does not require any external components.
This RC oscillator is separate from the RC oscillator of
the OSC1/CLKI pin. That means that the WDT will run,
even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/CLKO/
RA6 pins of the device has been stopped, for example,
by execution of a SLEEP instruction.
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watchdog
Timer Wake-up). The TO bit in the RCON register
will be cleared upon a WDT time-out.
The Watchdog Timer is enabled/disabled by a device
configuration bit. If the WDT is enabled, software execution
may not disable this function. When the WDTEN
configuration bit is cleared, the SWDTEN bit enables/
disables the operation of the WDT.
The WDT time-out period values may be found in the
Electrical Specifications (Section 22.0) under parameter
D031. Values for the WDT postscaler may be
assigned using the configuration bits.
19.2.1 CONTROL REGISTER
Register 19-14 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register, which contains a control
bit that allows software to override the WDT enable
configuration bit, only when the configuration bit has
disabled the WDT.
REGISTER 19-14: WDTCON REGISTER
Note: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear
the WDT and the postscaler, if assigned to
the WDT and prevent it from timing out and
generating a device RESET condition.
Note: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed
and the postscaler is assigned to the WDT,
the postscaler count will be cleared, but the
postscaler assignment is not changed.

The WDT has a postscaler that can extend the WDT
Reset period. The postscaler is selected at the time of
the device programming, by the value written to the
CONFIG2H configuration register.

19.3 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP
instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared, but
keeps running, the PD bit (RCON<3>) is cleared, the
TO (RCON<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, low or hi-impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external circuitry
is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down
the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins
that are hi-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to
avoid switching currents caused by floating inputs. The
T0CKI input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest
current consumption. The contribution from on-chip
pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).
19.3.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1. External RESET input on MCLR pin.
2. Watchdog Timer Wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
3. Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a
Peripheral Interrupt.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from SLEEP:
1. PSP read or write.
2. TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as
an asynchronous counter.
3. TMR3 interrupt. Timer3 must be operating as
an asynchronous counter.
4. CCP Capture mode interrupt.
5. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous
mode using an external clock).
6. MSSP (START/STOP) bit detect interrupt.
7. MSSP transmit or receive in Slave mode
(SPI/I2C).
8. USART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).
9. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).
10. EEPROM write operation complete.
11. LVD interrupt.
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts, since
during SLEEP, no on-chip clocks are present.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device RESET. All
other events are considered a continuation of program
execution and will cause a “wake-up”. The TO and PD
bits in the RCON register can be used to determine the
cause of the device RESET. The PD bit, which is set on
power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is invoked. The TO
bit is cleared, if a WDT time-out occurred (and caused
wake-up).
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 2) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after
the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the interrupt
address. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
19.3.2 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If an interrupt condition (interrupt flag bit and interrupt
enable bits are set) occurs before the execution
of a SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction
will complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and
WDT postscaler will not be cleared, the TO bit will
not be set and PD bits will not be cleared.
• If the interrupt condition occurs during or after
the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device
will immediately wake-up from SLEEP. The
SLEEP instruction will be completely executed
before the wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and
WDT postscaler will be cleared, the TO bit will be
set and the PD bit will be cleared.
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.PIC18FXX2

19.4 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 FLASH devices differs significantly from other
PICmicro devices.
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 512 bytes. The remainder
of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary
boundaries.
Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
• Code Protect bit (CPn)
• Write Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 19-3 shows the program memory organization
for 16- and 32-Kbyte devices, and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 19-3.

19.4.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
The user memory may be read to or written from any
location using the Table Read and Table Write instructions.
The device ID may be read with Table Reads.
The configuration registers may be read and written
with the Table Read and Table Write instructions.
In User mode, the CPn bits have no direct effect. CPn
bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block of user
memory may be protected from Table Writes if the
WRTn configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
Table Reads. For a block of user memory with the
EBTRn bit set to ‘0’, a Table Read instruction that
executes from within that block is allowed to read. A
Table Read instruction that executes from a location
outside of that block is not allowed to read, and will
result in reading ‘0’s. Figures 19-4 through 19-6
illustrate Table Write and Table Read protection.
FIGURE 19-4: TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED
Note: Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code protection
bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full chip
erase or block erase function. The full chip
erase and block erase functions can only
be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

19.4.2 DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire Data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of Data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits external writes to Data EEPROM. The
CPU can continue to read and write Data EEPROM
regardless of the protection bit settings.
19.4.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The configuration registers can be write protected. The
WRTC bit controls protection of the configuration registers.
In User mode, the WRTC bit is readable only. WRTC
can only be written via ICSP or an external programmer.
19.5 ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h - 200007h) are designated
as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are accessible during normal execution
through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions, or during
program/verify. The ID locations can be read when the
device is code protected.
The sequence for programming the ID locations is similar
to programming the FLASH memory (see
Section 5.5.1).
19.6 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18FXXX microcontrollers can be serially programmed
while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
19.7 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in configuration register
CONFIG4L is programmed to a '0', the In-Circuit
Debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows
simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB®
IDE. When the microcontroller has this feature
enabled, some of the resources are not available for
general use. Table 19-4 shows which features are
consumed by the background debugger.
TABLE 19-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller,
the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD, GND,
RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of
the third party development tool companies.
19.8 Low Voltage ICSP Programming
The LVP bit configuration register CONFIG4L enables
low voltage ICSP programming. This mode allows the
microcontroller to be programmed via ICSP using a
VDD source in the operating voltage range. This only
means that VPP does not have to be brought to VIHH,
but can instead be left at the normal operating voltage.
In this mode, the RB5/PGM pin is dedicated to the programming
function and ceases to be a general purpose
I/O pin. During programming, VDD is applied to the
MCLR/VPP pin. To enter Programming mode, VDD must
be applied to the RB5/PGM, provided the LVP bit is set.
The LVP bit defaults to a (‘1’) from the factory.
If Low Voltage Programming mode is not used, the LVP
bit can be programmed to a '0' and RB5/PGM becomes
a digital I/O pin. However, the LVP bit may only be programmed
when programming is entered with VIHH on
MCLR/VPP.
It should be noted that once the LVP bit is programmed
to 0, only the High Voltage Programming mode is available
and only High Voltage Programming mode can be
used to program the device.
When using low voltage ICSP, the part must be supplied
4.5V to 5.5V, if a bulk erase will be executed. This
includes reprogramming of the code protect bits from
an on-state to off-state. For all other cases of low voltage
ICSP, the part may be programmed at the normal
operating voltage. This means unique user IDs, or user
code can be reprogrammed or added. I/O pins RB6, RB7
Stack 2 levels
Program Memory 512 bytes
Data Memory 10 bytes
Note 1: The High Voltage Programming mode is
always available, regardless of the state
of the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the
MCLR pin.
2: While in low voltage ICSP mode, the RB5
pin can no longer be used as a general
purpose I/O pin, and should be held low
during normal operation to protect
against inadvertent ICSP mode entry.
3: When using low voltage ICSP programming
(LVP), the pull-up on RB5 becomes
disabled. If TRISB bit 5 is cleared,
thereby setting RB5 as an output, LATB
bit 5 must also be cleared for proper
operation.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 211
PIC18FXX2
20.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18FXXX instruction set adds many enhancements
to the previous PICmicro instruction sets, while
maintaining an easy migration from these PICmicro
instruction sets.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(16-bits), but there are three instructions that require
two program memory locations.
Each single word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an OPCODE, which specifies the instruction type
and one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal operations
• Control operations
The PIC18FXXX instruction set summary in Table 20-2
lists byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 20-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result
(specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator 'f' specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator ‘d’ specifies where the
result of the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is zero, the
result is placed in the WREG register. If 'd' is one, the
result is placed in the file register specified in the
instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The bit in the file register
(specified by ‘b’)
3. The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The bit field designator 'b' selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator
'f' represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the Call or Return instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the Table Read and Table Write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for three double-word
instructions. These three instructions were
made double-word instructions so that all the required
information is available in these 32 bits. In the second
word, the 4-MSbs are 1’s. If this second word is executed
as an instruction (by itself), it will execute as a
NOP.
All single word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction.
In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 μs. If a conditional test is
true or the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.
Figure 20-1 shows the general formats that the
instructions can have.
All examples use the format ‘nnh’ to represent a
hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 20-2,
lists the instructions recognized by the Microchip
Assembler (MPASMTM).
Section 20.1 provides a description of each instruction.PIC18FXX2

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is '1' for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a '0'.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP, unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16-bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.
5: If the Table Write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 215

MSb LSb
Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is '1' for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a '0'.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP, unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16-bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.
5: If the Table Write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.PIC18FXX2

space (000h to FFFh), and location
of destination 'fd' can also be anywhere
from 000h to FFFh.
Either source or destination can be
W (a useful special situation).
MOVFF is particularly useful for
transferring a data memory location
to a peripheral register (such as the
transmit buffer or an I/O port).
The MOVFF instruction cannot use
the PCL, TOSU, TOSH or TOSL as
the destination register.
Note: The MOVFF instruction
should not be used to modify

21.1 MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment Software
The MPLAB IDE software brings an ease of software
development previously unseen in the 8-bit microcontroller
market. The MPLAB IDE is a Windows® based
application that contains:
• An interface to debugging tools
- simulator
- programmer (sold separately)
- emulator (sold separately)
- in-circuit debugger (sold separately)
• A full-featured editor
• A project manager
• Customizable toolbar and key mapping
• A status bar
• On-line help
The MPLAB IDE allows you to:
• Edit your source files (either assembly or ‘C’)
• One touch assemble (or compile) and download
to PICmicro emulator and simulator tools (automatically
updates all project information)
• Debug using:
- source files
- absolute listing file
- machine code
The ability to use MPLAB IDE with multiple debugging
tools allows users to easily switch from the costeffective
simulator to a full-featured emulator with
minimal retraining.
21.2 MPASM Assembler
The MPASM assembler is a full-featured universal
macro assembler for all PICmicro MCU’s.
The MPASM assembler has a command line interface
and a Windows shell. It can be used as a stand-alone
application on a Windows 3.x or greater system, or it
can be used through MPLAB IDE. The MPASM assembler
generates relocatable object files for the MPLINK
object linker, Intel® standard HEX files, MAP files to
detail memory usage and symbol reference, an absolute
LST file that contains source lines and generated
machine code, and a COD file for debugging.
The MPASM assembler features include:
• Integration into MPLAB IDE projects.
• User-defined macros to streamline assembly
code.
• Conditional assembly for multi-purpose source
files.
• Directives that allow complete control over the
assembly process.
21.3 MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18
C Compilers
The MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 Code Development
Systems are complete ANSI ‘C’ compilers for
Microchip’s PIC17CXXX and PIC18CXXX family of
microcontrollers, respectively. These compilers provide
powerful integration capabilities and ease of use not
found with other compilers.
For easier source level debugging, the compilers provide
symbol information that is compatible with the
MPLAB IDE memory display.PIC18FXX2
DS39564C-page 254 © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc.
21.4 MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK object linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM assembler and the
MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers. It can also
link relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries,
using directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB object librarian is a librarian for precompiled
code to be used with the MPLINK object
linker. When a routine from a library is called from
another source file, only the modules that contain that
routine will be linked in with the application. This allows
large libraries to be used efficiently in many different
applications. The MPLIB object librarian manages the
creation and modification of library files.
The MPLINK object linker features include:
• Integration with MPASM assembler and MPLAB
C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers.
• Allows all memory areas to be defined as sections
to provide link-time flexibility.
The MPLIB object librarian features include:
• Easier linking because single libraries can be
included instead of many smaller files.
• Helps keep code maintainable by grouping
related modules together.
• Allows libraries to be created and modules to be
added, listed, replaced, deleted or extracted.
21.5 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM software simulator allows code development
in a PC-hosted environment by simulating the
PICmicro series microcontrollers on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a file, or user-defined key press, to any of the pins. The
execution can be performed in single step, execute
until break, or trace mode.
The MPLAB SIM simulator fully supports symbolic debugging
using the MPLAB C17 and the MPLAB C18 C compilers
and the MPASM assembler. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside of
the laboratory environment, making it an excellent multiproject
software development tool.
21.6 MPLAB ICE High Performance
Universal In-Circuit Emulator with
MPLAB IDE
The MPLAB ICE universal in-circuit emulator is intended
to provide the product development engineer with a
complete microcontroller design tool set for PICmicro
microcontrollers (MCUs). Software control of the
MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator is provided by the
MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
which allows editing, building, downloading and source
debugging from a single environment.
The MPLAB ICE 2000 is a full-featured emulator system
with enhanced trace, trigger and data monitoring
features. Interchangeable processor modules allow the
system to be easily reconfigured for emulation of different
processors. The universal architecture of the
MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator allows expansion to
support new PICmicro microcontrollers.
The MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator system has been
designed as a real-time emulation system, with
advanced features that are generally found on more
expensive development tools. The PC platform and
Microsoft® Windows environment were chosen to best
make these features available to you, the end user.
21.7 ICEPIC In-Circuit Emulator
The ICEPIC low cost, in-circuit emulator is a solution
for the Microchip Technology PIC16C5X, PIC16C6X,
PIC16C7X and PIC16CXXX families of 8-bit OneTime-Programmable
(OTP) microcontrollers. The modular
system can support different subsets of PIC16C5X
or PIC16CXXX products through the use of interchangeable
personality modules, or daughter boards.
The emulator is capable of emulating without target
application circuitry being present.© 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39564C-page 255
PIC18FXX2
21.8 MPLAB ICD In-Circuit Debugger

low cost, run-time development tool. This tool is
based on the FLASH PICmicro MCUs and can be used
to develop for this and other PICmicro microcontrollers.
The MPLAB ICD utilizes the in-circuit debugging capability
built into the FLASH devices. This feature, along
with Microchip's In-Circuit Serial ProgrammingTM protocol,
offers cost-effective in-circuit FLASH debugging
from the graphical user interface of the MPLAB
Integrated Development Environment. This enables a
designer to develop and debug source code by watching
variables, single-stepping and setting break points.
Running at full speed enables testing hardware in realtime.

Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode, or during a device RESET, without losing RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin
loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an
impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active Operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: The power-down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in SLEEP mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all
features that add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR,...).
4: For RC osc configuration, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be
estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kOhm.
5: The LVD and BOR modules share a large portion of circuitry. The ΔIBOR and ΔILVD currents are not additive.
Once one of these modules is enabled, the other may also be enabled without further penalty.PIC18FXX2

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time-base period for all configurations
except PLL. All specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under
standard operating conditions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in
an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to
operate at “min.” values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKI pin. When an external clock input
is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.PIC18FXX2

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns) of
the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement TSU:DAT ≥ 250 ns
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If
such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line.
TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification) before the SCL line is
released. PIC18FXX2

2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The AT42QT1070 (QT1070) is a digital burst mode charge-transfer (QT™) capacitive sensor driver. The device can
sense from one to seven keys, dependent on mode.
The QT1070 includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of
changing conditions, and the outputs are fully debounced. Only a few external parts are required for operation and
no external Cs capacitors are required.
The QT1070 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to heavily suppress the effects of external
noise, and to suppress RF emissions. The QT1070 uses a dual-pulse method of acquisition. This provides greater
noise immunity and eliminates the need for external sampling capacitors, allowing touch sensing using a single pin.
2.2 Modes
2.2.1 Comms Mode
The QT1070 can operate in comms mode where a host can communicate with the device via an I2
C bus. This allows
the user to configure settings for Threshold, Adjacent Key Suppression (AKS), Detect Integrator, Low Power (LP)
Mode, Guard Channel and Max Time On for keys.
2.2.2 Standalone Mode
The QT1070 can operate in a standalone mode where an I2
C interface is not required. To enter standalone mode,
connect the Mode pin to Vdd before powering up the QT1070.
In standalone mode, the start-up values are hard coded in firmware and cannot be changed. The default start-up
values are used. This means that key detection is reported via their respective IOs. The Guard channel feature is
automatically implemented on key 0 in standalone mode. This means that this channel gets priority over all other
keys going into touch.
2.3 Keys
Dependent on mode, the QT1070 can have a minimum of one key and a maximum of seven keys. These can be
constructed in different shapes and sizes. See “Features” on page 1 for the recommended dimensions.
Comms mode – 1 to 7 keys (or 1 to 6 keys plus Guard Channel)
Standalone mode – 1 to 4 keys plus a Guard Channel
Unused keys should be disabled by setting the averaging factor to zero (see Section 5.9 on page 18).
The status register can be read to determine the touch status of the corresponding key. It is recommended using the
open-drain CHANGE line to detect when a change of status has occurred.
2.4 Input/Output (IO) Lines
There are no IO lines in comms mode.
In Standalone mode pins OUT0 – OUT4 can be used as open drain outputs for driving LEDs.
2.5 Acquisition/Low Power Mode (LP)
There are 255 different acquisition times possible. These are controlled via the LP mode byte (see Section 5.11 on
page 19) which can be written to via I2
C communication.
LP mode controls the intervals between acquisition measurements. Longer intervals consume lower power but have
an increased response time. During calibration, touch and during the detect integrator (DI) period, the LP mode is
temporarily set to LP mode 1 for a faster response.AT42QT1070 [DATASHEET] 9 9596C–AT42–05/2013
The QT1070 operation is based on a fixed cycle time of approximately 8 ms. The LP mode setting indicates how
many of these periods exist per measurement cycle. For example, If LP mode = 1, there is an acquisition every cycle
(8 ms). If LP mode = 3, there is an acquisition every 3 cycles (24 ms). If a high Averaging Factor (see Section 5.9 on
page 18) setting is selected then the acquisition time may exceed 8 ms.
LP settings above mode 32 (256 ms) result in slower thermal drift compensation and should be avoided in
applications where fast thermal transients occur.
2.6 Adjacent Key Suppression (AKS) Technology
The device includes the Atmel-patented Adjacent Key Suppression (AKS) technology, to allow the use of tightly
spaced keys on a keypad with no loss of selectability by the user.
There can be up to three AKS groups, implemented so that only one key in the group may be reported as being
touched at any one time. Once a key in a particular AKS group is in detect no other key in that group can go into
detect. Only when the key in detect goes out of detection can another key go into detect state.
The keys which are members of the AKS groups can be set (see Section 5.9 on page 18). Keys outside the group
may be in detect simultaneously.
2.7 CHANGE Line (Comms Mode Only)
The CHANGE line is active low and signals when there is a change of state in the Detection or Input key status
bytes. It is cleared (allowed to float high) when the host reads the status bytes.
If the status bytes change back to their original state before the host has read the status bytes (for example, a touch
followed by a release), the CHANGE line will be held low. In this case, a read to any memory location will clear the
CHANGE line.
The CHANGE line is open-drain and should be connected via a 47 k resistor to Vdd. It is necessary for minimum
power operation as it ensures that the QT1070 can sleep for as long as possible. Communications wake up the
QT1070 from sleep causing a higher power consumption if the part is randomly polled.
Note: The CHANGE line is pulled low 100 ms after power-up or reset.
2.8 Types of Reset
2.8.1 External Reset
An external reset logic line can be used if desired, fed into the RESET pin. However, under most conditions it is
acceptable to tie RESET to Vdd.
2.8.2 Soft Reset
The host can cause a device reset by writing a nonzero value to the RESET byte. This soft reset triggers the internal
watchdog timer on a 125 ms interval. After 125 ms the device resets and wakes again.
The device NACKs any attempts to communicate with it during the first 30 ms of its initialization period.
2.9 Calibration
Writing a non-zero value to the calibration byte can force a recalibration at any time. This can be useful to clear out a
stuck key condition after a prolonged period of uninterrupted detection.
Note: A calibrate command clears all key status bits and the overflow bit (until it is checked on the next cycle).AT42QT1070 [DATASHEET] 10
9596C–AT42–05/2013
2.10 Guard Channel
A guard channel to help prevent false detection is available in both modes. This is fixed on key 0 for standalone
mode and programmable for comms mode.
Guard channel keys should be more sensitive than the other keys (physically bigger). Because the guard channel
key is physically bigger it becomes more susceptible to noise so it has a higher Averaging Factor (see Section 5.9 on
page 18) and a lower Threshold (see Section 5.8 on page 18) than the other keys. In standalone mode it has an
Averaging Factor of 16 and a Threshold of 10 counts.
A channel set as the guard channel (there can only be one) is prioritised when the filtering of keys going into detect
is taking place. So if a normal key is filtering into touch (touch present but DI has not been reached) and the key set
as the guard key begins filtering in, then the normal key’s filter is reset and the guard key filters in first.
The guard channel is connected to a sensor pad which detects the presence of touch and overrides any output from
the other keys.
Figure 2-1. Guard Channel Example
2.11 Signal Processing
2.11.1 Detect Threshold
The device detects a touch when the signal has crossed a threshold level and remained there for a specified number
of counts (see Section 5.10 on page 19). This can be altered on a key-by-key basis using the key threshold I2C
commands.
In standalone mode the detect threshold is set to a fixed value of 10 counts of change with respect to the internal
reference level for the guard channel and 20 counts for the other four keys. The reference level has the ability to
adjust itself slowly in accordance with the drift compensation mechanism.
The drift mechanism will drift toward touch at a rate of 160 ms × 18 = 2.88 seconds and away from touch at a rate of
160 ms × 6 = 0.96 seconds. The 160 ms is based on 20 × 8 ms cycles. If the cycle time exceeds 8 ms then the
overall times will be extended to match.
2.11.2 Detect Integrator
The device features a fast detection integrator counter (DI filter), which acts to filter out noise at the small expense of
a slower response time. The DI filter requires a programmable number of consecutive samples confirmed in
detection before the key is declared to be touched. The minimum number for the DI filter is 2. Settings of 0 and 1 for
the DI also default to 2.
The DI is also implemented when a touch is removed. This uses the Fast Out DI option. When bit 5 of Address 53 is
set the a key filters out with an integrator of 4.
Guard channelAT42QT1070 [DATASHEET] 11 9596C–AT42–05/2013
2.11.3 Cx Limitations
The recommended range for key capacitance Cx is 1 pF – 30 pF. Larger values of Cx will give reduced sensitivity.
2.11.4 Max On Duration
If an object or material obstructs the sense pad the signal may rise enough to create a detection, preventing further
operation. To prevent this, the sensor includes a timer which monitors detections. If a detection exceeds the timer
setting the sensor performs a key recalibration. This is known as the Max On duration feature and is set to
approximately 30 s in standalone mode.
In comms mode this feature can be changed by setting a value in the range 1 – 255
(160 ms – 40,800 ms) in steps of 160 ms. A setting of 0 disables the Max On Duration recalibration feature.
Note: If bit 4 of address 53 is clear then a recalibration of all keys occurs on Max On Duration, otherwise individual
key recalibration occurs.
2.11.5 Positive Recalibration
If a keys signal jumps in the negative direction (with respect to its reference) by more than the Positive Recalibration
setting (4 counts), then a recalibration of that key takes place.
2.11.6 Drift Hold Time
Drift Hold Time (DHT) is used to restrict drift on all keys while one or more keys are activated. DHT restricts the
drifting on all keys until approximately four seconds after all touches have been removed.
This feature is particularly useful in cases of high-density keypads where touching a key or hovering a finger over the
keypad would cause untouched keys to drift, and therefore create a sensitivity shift, and ultimately inhibit touch
detection.
2.11.7 Hysteresis
Hysteresis is fixed at 12.5% of the Detect Threshold. When a key enters a detect state once the DI count has been
reached, the NTHR value is changed by a small amount (12.5% of NTHR) in the direction away from touch. This is
done to affect hysteresis and so makes it less likely a key will dither in and out of detect. NTHR is restored once the
key drops out of detect.+AT42QT1070 [DATASHEET] 12
9596C–AT42–05/2013
3. Wiring and Parts
3.1 Rs Resistors
Series resistors Rs (Rs0 – Rs6 for comms mode and Rs0 – Rs4 for standalone mode) are in line with the electrode
connections and should be used to limit electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents and to suppress radio frequency
interference (RFI). Series resistors are recommended for noise reduction. They should be approximately 4.7 k to
20 k each.
3.2 LED Traces and Other Switching Signals
Digital switching signals near the sense lines induce transients into the acquired signals, deteriorating the signal-tonoise
(SNR) performance of the device. Such signals should be routed away from the sensing traces and electrodes,
or the design should be such that these lines are not switched during the course of signal acquisition (bursts).
LED terminals which are multiplexed or switched into a floating state, and which are within, or physically very near, a
key (even if on another nearby PCB) should be bypassed to either Vss or Vdd with at least a 10 nF capacitor. This is
to suppress capacitive coupling effects which can induce false signal shifts. The bypass capacitor does not need to
be next to the LED, in fact it can be quite distant. The bypass capacitor is noncritical and can be of any type.
LED terminals which are constantly connected to Vss or Vdd do not need further bypassing.
3.3 PCB Cleanliness
Modern no-clean flux is generally compatible with capacitive sensing circuits.
If a PCB is reworked in any way, clean it thoroughly to remove all traces of the flux residue around the capacitive
sensor components. Dry it thoroughly before any further testing is conducted.
3.4 Power Supply
See Section 6.2 on page 22 for the power supply range. If the power supply fluctuates slowly with temperature, the
device tracks and compensates for these changes automatically with only minor changes in sensitivity. If the supply
voltage drifts or shifts quickly, the drift compensation mechanism is not able to keep up, causing sensitivity
anomalies or false detections.
The usual power supply considerations with QT parts apply to the device. The power should be clean and come from
a separate regulator if possible. However, this device is designed to minimize the effects of unstable power, and
except in extreme conditions should not require a separate Low Dropout (LDO) regulator.
It is assumed that a larger bypass capacitor (such as1 µF) is somewhere else in the power circuit; for example, near
the regulator.
CAUTION: If a PCB is reworked in any way, it is highly likely that the behavior of the
no-clean flux will change. This can mean that the flux changes from an inert material
to one that can absorb moisture and dramatically affect capacitive measurements
due to additional leakage currents. If so, the circuit can become erratic and exhibit
poor environmental stability.
CAUTION: A regulator IC shared with other logic can result in erratic operation and is
not advised.
A single ceramic 0.1 µF bypass capacitor, with short traces, should be placed very
close to the power pins of the IC. Failure to do so can result in device oscillation, high
current consumption and erratic operation.AT42QT1070 [DATASHEET] 13 9596C–AT42–05/2013
4. I2
C Communications (Comms Mode Only)
4.1 I2
C Protocol
4.1.1 Protocol
The I2C protocol is based around access to an address table (see Table 5-1 on page 15) and supports multibyte
reads and writes. The maximum clock rate is 400 kHz.
See Section A. on page 29 for an overview of I2
C bus operation.
4.1.2 Signals
The I2
C interface requires two signals to operate:
SDA - Serial Data
SCL - Serial Clock
A third line, CHANGE, is used to signal when the device has seen a change in the status byte:
CHANGE: Open-drain, active low when any capacitive key has changed state since the last I2
C read. After reading
the two status bytes, this pin floats (high) again if it is pulled up with an external resistor. If the status bytes change
back to their original state before the host has read the status bytes (for example, a touch followed by a release), the
CHANGE line is held low. In this case, a read to any memory location clears the CHANGE line.
4.2 I2
C Address
There is one preset I2
C address of 0x1B. This is not changeable.
4.3 Data Read/Write
4.3.1 Writing Data to the Device
The sequence of events required to write data to the device is shown next.

2. The host follows this by sending the slave address of the device together with the WRITE bit.
3. The device sends an ACK.

4. The host then sends the memory address within the device it wishes to write to.
5. The device sends an ACK if the write address is in the range 0x00 – 0x7F, otherwise it sends a NACK.
6. The host transmits one or more data bytes; each is acknowledged by the device (unless trying to write to an
invalid address).
7. If the host sends more than one data byte, they are written to consecutive memory addresses.
8. The device automatically increments the target memory address after writing each data byte.
9. After writing the last data byte, the host should send the STOP condition.
Note: the host should not try to write to addresses outside the range 0x20 to 0x39 because this is the limit of the
device internal memory address.
4.3.2 Reading Data From the Device
The sequence of events required to read data from the device is shown next.
1. The host initiates the transfer by sending the START condition
2. The host follows this by sending the slave address of the device together with the WRITE bit.
3. The device sends an ACK.
4. The host then sends the memory address within the device it wishes to read from.
5. The device sends an ACK if the address to be read from is less than 0x80 otherwise it sends a NACK).
6. The host must then send a STOP and a START condition followed by the slave address again but this time
accompanied by the READ bit.
Note: Alternatively, instead of step 6 a repeated START can be sent so the host does not need to
relinquish control of the bus.
7. The device returns an ACK, followed by a data byte.
8. The host must return either an ACK or NACK.
1. If the host returns an ACK, the device subsequently transmits the data byte from the next address. Each
time a data byte is transmitted, the device automatically increments the internal address. The device
continues to return data bytes until the host responds with a NACK.
2. If the host returns a NACK, it should then terminate the transfer by issuing the STOP condition.
9. The device resets the internal address to the location indicated by the memory address sent to it previously.
Therefore, there is no need to send the memory address again when reading from the same location.
Note: Reading the 16-bit reference and signal values is not an automatic operation; reading the first byte of a 16-
bit value does not lock the other byte. As a result glitches in the reported value may be seen as values
increase from 255 to 256, or decrease from 256 to 255.
4.4 SDA, SCL
The I2
C bus transmits data and clock with SDA and SCL respectively. They are open-drain; that is I2
C master and
slave devices can only drive these lines low or leave them open. The termination resistors pull the line up to Vdd if no
I
2
C device is pulling it down.
The termination resistors commonly range from 1 k to 10 k and should be chosen so that the rise times on SDA
and SCL meet the I2
C specifications (1 µs maximum).
Standalone mode: if I2
C communications are not required, then standalone mode can be enabled by connecting the
MODE pin to Vdd. See Section 2.4 on page 8 for more information.

5. Setups
5.1 Introduction
The device calibrates and processes signals using a number of algorithms specifically designed to provide for high
survivability in the face of adverse environmental challenges. User-defined Setups are employed to alter these
algorithms to suit each application. These Setups are loaded into the device over the I2C serial interfaces. In
standalone mode these settings are fixed to predetermined values.

5.4 Address 2: Detection Status
CALIBRATE: This bit is set during a calibration sequence.
OVERFLOW: This bit is set if the time to acquire all key signals exceeds 8 ms.
TOUCH: This bit is set if any keys are in detect.
5.5 Address 3: Key Status
KEY0 – 6: bits 0 to 6 indicate which keys are in detection, if any. Touched keys report as 1, untouched or disabled
keys report as 0.
5.6 Address 4 – 17: Key Signal
KEY SIGNAL: addresses 4 – 17 allow key signals to be read for each key, starting with key 0. There are two bytes of
data for each key. These are the key’s 16-bit key signals which are accessed as two 8-bit bytes, stored MSByte first.
These addresses are read-only.

5.7 Address 18 – 31: Reference Data
REFERENCE DATA: addresses 18 – 31 allow reference data to be read for each key, starting with key 0. There are
two bytes of data for each key. These are the key’s 16-bit reference data which is accessed as two 8-bit bytes, stored
MSByte first. These addresses are read-only.
5.8 Address 32 – 38: Negative Threshold (NTHR)
NTHR Keys 0 – 6: these 8-bit values set the threshold value for each key to register a detection.
Default: 20 counts
Note: Do not use a setting of 0 as this causes a key to go into detection when its signal is equal to its reference.
5.9 Address 39 – 45: Averaging Factor/Adjacent Key Suppression (AVE/AKS)
AVE 0 – 5: The Averaging Factor (AVE) is the number of pulses which are added together and averaged to get the
final signal value for that channel.
For example, if AVE = 8 then 8 ADC samples are taken and added together. The result is divided by the original
number of pulses (8). If sixteen pulses are used then the result is divided by sixteen.
This provides a better signal-to-noise ratio but requires longer acquire times. Values for AVE are restricted internally
to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32.
Default: 8 (In standalone mode key 0 is 16)
AKS 0 – 1: these bits control which keys are included in an AKS group. There can be up to three groups, each
containing any number of keys (up to the maximum allowed for the mode).
Each key can have a value between 0 and 3, which assigns it to an AKS group of that number. A key may only go
into detect when it has the largest signal change of any key in its group. A value of 0 means the key is not in any AKS
group.
Default: 0x01

5.10 Address 46 – 52: Detection Integrator (DI)
DETECTION INTEGRATOR: addresses 46 – 52 allow the DI level to be set for each key. This 8-bit value controls
the number of consecutive measurements that must be confirmed as having passed the key threshold before that
key is registered as being in detect. The minimum value for the DI filter is 2. Settings of 0 and 1 for the DI also default
to 2 because a minimum of two consecutive measurements must be confirmed.
Default: 4
5.11 Address 53: FastOutDI/Max Cal/Guard Channel
FO: Fast Out DI – when bit 5 is set then a key filters out with an integrator of 4. Could have a DI in of 100 but filter out
with DI of 4 (global setting for all keys).
MAX CAL: if this bit is clear then all keys recalibrate after a Max On Duration timeout, otherwise only the key with the
incorrect timing gets recalibrated.
GUARD CHANNEL: bits 0 – 3 are used to set a key as the guard channel (which gets priority filtering). Valid values
are 0 – 6, with any larger value disabling the guard key feature.

LP MODE: this 8-bit value determines the number of 8 ms intervals between key measurements. Longer intervals
between measurements yield a lower power consumption but at the expense of a slower response to touch.
Default: 2 (16 ms between key acquisitions)
5.13 Address 55: Max On Duration
MAX ON DURATION: this is a 8-bit value which determines how long any key can be in touch before it recalibrates
itself.

3. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform
consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel
Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more.
Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards that are connected through
a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely
identify which boards are mounted on a Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant
user guides, application notes, datasheets and example code through Atmel Studio. Available Xplained Pro
MCU and extension boards can be purchased in the Atmel Web Store
1
.
3.1 Hardware identification system
All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 CryptoAuthentication™ chip mounted.
This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an
Xplained Pro extension board is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent
to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code
examples and links to relevant documents. Table 3-1, “Xplained Pro ID Chip Content” on page 5 shows the
data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

3.2 Standard headers and connectors
3.2.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20 pin, 100mil extension headers. Xplained Pro MCU boards
have male headers while Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. Note that all pins are not
always connected. However, all the connected pins follow the defined pin-out described in Table 3-2, “Xplained
Pro Extension Header” on page 5. The extension headers can be used to connect a wide variety of
Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU boards and to access the pins of the target MCU on Xplained
Pro MCU board directly.

5. Hardware revision history and known issues
5.1 Identifying product ID and revision
The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways, through Atmel Studio or
by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
By connecting a Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will
pop up. The first 6 digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier and
revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kits window.
The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the
identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with
limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code which contains a serial number string.
The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier
r = revision
s = serial number
The kit identifier for OLED1 Xplained Pro is 1769.
5.2 Revision 3
Revision 3 of OLED1 Xplained Pro is the initial released version.
OLED1 Xplained Pro boards with a serial number that ends with a number lower than 11148 may have a wrong
revision programmed into the Xplained Pro ID chip. This will only affect the information displayed by the Atmel
Kits extension in Atmel Studio. It will not affect the operation of the board.Atmel OLED1 Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE]

Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All 32 registers are
directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in a single
instruction, executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is compact and code efficient while achieving
throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
ATtiny1634 provides the following features:
• 16K bytes of in-system programmable Flash
• 1K bytes of SRAM data memory
• 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory
• 18 general purpose I/O lines
• 32 general purpose working registers
• An 8-bit timer/counter with two PWM channels
• A16-bit timer/counter with two PWM channels
• Internal and external interrupts
• A 10-bit ADC with 5 internal and 12 external channels
• An ultra-low power, programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator
• Two programmable USART’s with start frame detection
• A slave Two-Wire Interface (TWI)
• A Universal Serial Interface (USI) with start condition detector
• A calibrated 8MHz oscillator
• A calibrated 32kHz, ultra low power oscillator
• Four software selectable power saving modes.
The device includes the following modes for saving power:
• Idle mode: stops the CPU while allowing the timer/counter, ADC, analog comparator, SPI, TWI, and interrupt
system to continue functioning
• ADC Noise Reduction mode: minimizes switching noise during ADC conversions by stopping the CPU and all
I/O modules except the ADC
• Power-down mode: registers keep their contents and all chip functions are disabled until the next interrupt or
hardware reset
• Standby mode: the oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping, allowing very fast start-up
combined with low power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The Flash program memory
can be re-programmed in-system through a serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory
programmer or by an on-chip boot code, running on the AVR core.
The ATtiny1634 AVR is supported by a full suite of program and system development tools including: C compilers,
macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators and evaluation kits.ATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 6
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
3. General Information
3.1 Resources
A comprehensive set of drivers, application notes, data sheets and descriptions on development tools are available
for download at http://www.atmel.com/avr.
3.2 Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the device. These
code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C
compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent.
Please confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
For I/O Registers located in the extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must
be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically, this means “LDS” and “STS” combined
with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”. Note that not all AVR devices include an extended I/O map.
3.3 Capacitive Touch Sensing
Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution for touch sensitive interfaces on Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
The QTouch Library includes support for QTouch® and QMatrix® acquisition methods.
Touch sensing is easily added to any application by linking the QTouch Library and using the Application Programming
Interface (API) of the library to define the touch channels and sensors. The application then calls the API to
retrieve channel information and determine the state of the touch sensor.
The QTouch Library is free and can be downloaded from the Atmel website. For more information and details of
implementation, refer to the QTouch Library User Guide – also available from the Atmel website.
3.4 Data Retention
Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less than 1 PPM over 20
years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.
4. CPU Core
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core is to ensure correct
program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations, control
peripherals, and handle interrupts.ATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 7
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
4.1 Architectural Overview
Figure 4-1. Block Diagram of the AVR Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with separate memories
and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program memory are executed with a single level pipelining.
While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept
enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-System Reprogrammable
Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle
access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands
are output from the Register File, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File
– in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data Space addressing –
enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer
for look up tables in Flash Program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register,
described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single
register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the Status Register is updated
to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, capable of directly addressing
the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format but 32-bit wide instructions also
exist. The actual instruction set varies, as some devices only implement a part of the instruction set.

Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the Stack. The Stack
is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack size is only limited by the total
SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines
or interrupts are executed). The Stack Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data
SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global Interrupt Enable bit in
the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have
priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the
priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, SPI, and other
I/O functions. The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data Space locations following those of the Register
File, 0x20 - 0x5F. In addition, the ATtiny1634 has Extended I/O Space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM where only
the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
4.2 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers.
Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an
immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bitfunctions.
Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both
signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See external document “AVR Instruction Set” and “Instruction
Set Summary” on page 278 section for more information.
4.3 Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic instruction. This
information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that the Status
Register is updated after all ALU operations. This will in many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare
instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code. See external document “AVR Instruction Set” and
“Instruction Set Summary” on page 278 section for more information.
The Status Register is neither automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when returning
from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
4.4 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve the required performance
and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 4-2 below shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.ATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 9
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
Figure 4-2. General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and most of them are single
cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 4-2, each register is also assigned a Data memory address, mapping them directly into the first
32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory
organization provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to
index any register in the file.
4.4.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit address
pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as
described in Figure 4-3 below.

Figure 4-3. The X-, Y-, and Z-registers
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment,
and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
4.5 Stack Pointer
The stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, local variables and return addresses after interrupts and subroutine
calls. The Stack Pointer registers (SPH and SPL) always point to the top of the stack. Note that the stack
grows from higher memory locations to lower memory locations. This means that the PUSH instructions decreases
and the POP instruction increases the stack pointer value.
The stack pointer points to the area of data memory where subroutine and interrupt stacks are located. This stack
space must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled.
The pointer is decremented by one when data is put on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by
one when data is fetched with the POP instruction. It is decremented by two when the return address is put on the
stack by a subroutine call or a jump to an interrupt service routine, and incremented by two when data is fetched by
a return from subroutine (the RET instruction) or a return from interrupt service routine (the RETI instruction).
The AVR stack pointer is typically implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O register file. The width of the stack
pointer and the number of bits implemented is device dependent. In some AVR devices all data memory can be
addressed using SPL, only. In this case, the SPH register is not implemented.
The stack pointer must be set to point above the I/O register areas, the minimum value being the lowest address of
SRAM. See Table 5-2 on page 16.
4.6 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR CPU is driven by the
CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 4-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture
and the fast access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with
the corresponding unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination register.
Figure 4-5. Single Cycle ALU Operation
4.7 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector each have a
separate Program Vector in the Program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which
must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the
interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and Interrupt Vectors.
The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 47. The list also determines the priority levels of the
different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next
is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled. The user software
can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current
interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the Interrupt Flag. For
these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the interrupt
handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing
a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding
interrupt enable bit is cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the
flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt Enable bit
is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global Interrupt Enable bit is
set, and will then be executed by order of priority.

The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily
have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will
not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction
before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when
returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt will be
executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the CLI instruction. The following example
shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed before any pending
interrupts, as shown in the following example.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
4.7.1 Interrupt Response Time
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles minimum. After four clock
cycles the Program Vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle

The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the undivided clock, which may be faster
than the CPU's clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the state of the prescaler - even if it were
readable, and the exact time it takes to switch from one clock division to another cannot be exactly predicted.
From the time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the new clock frequency
is active. In this interval, 2 active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the previous clock period, and T2
is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.
6.4 Clock Output Buffer
The device can output the system clock on the CLKO pin. To enable the output, the CKOUT_IO bit has to be programmed.
The CKOUT fuse determines the initial value of the CKOUT_IO bit that is loaded to the CLKSR register
when the device is powered up or has been reset. The clock output can be switched at run-time by setting the
CKOUT_IO bit in CLKSR as described in chapter “CLKSR – Clock Setting Register” on page 29.
This mode is suitable when the chip clock is used to drive other circuits on the system. Note that the clock will not
be output during reset and that the normal operation of the I/O pin will be overridden when the fuse is programmed.
Any clock source, including the internal oscillators, can be selected when the clock is output on CLKO. If the System
Clock Prescaler is used, it is the divided system clock that is output.
6.5 Register Description
6.5.1 CLKSR – Clock Setting Register
• Bit 7 – OSCRDY: Oscillator Ready
This bit is set when oscillator time-out is complete. When OSCRDY is set the oscillator is stable and the clock
source can be changed safely.
• Bit 6 – CSTR: Clock Select Trigger
This bit triggers the clock selection. It can be used to enable the oscillator in advance and select the clock source,
before the oscillator is stable.
If CSTR is set at the same time as the CKSEL bits are written, the contents are directly copied to the CKSEL register
and the system clock is immediately switched.
If CKSEL bits are written without setting CSTR, the oscillator selected by the CKSEL bits is enabled, but the system
clock is not switched yet.
• Bit 5 – CKOUT_IO: Clock Output
This bit enables the clock output buffer. The CKOUT fuse determines the initial value of the CKOUT_IO bit that is
loaded to the CLKSR register when the device is powered up or has been reset
• Bit 4 – SUT: Start-Up Time
The SUT and CKSEL bits define the start-up time of the device, as shown in Table 6-2, below. The initial value of
the SUT bit is determined by the SUT fuse. The SUT fuse is loaded to the SUT bit when the device is powered up
or has been reset.

Note: 1. Device start-up time from power-down sleep mode.
2. When BOD has been disabled by software, the wake-up time from sleep mode will be approximately 60µs to
ensure the BOD is working correctly before MCU continues executing code.
3. Device start-up time after reset.
4. The device is shipped with this option selected.
5. This option is not suitable for use with crystals.
6. This option should not be used when operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and only if frequency
stability at start-up is not important for the application.
7. This option is intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure frequency stability at start-up. It can also be
used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and if frequency stability at
start-up is not important for the application.
• Bits 3:0 – CKSEL[3:0]: Clock Select Bits
These bits select the clock source of the system clock and can be written at run-time. The clock system ensures
glitch free switching of the clock source. CKSEL fuses determine the initial value of the CKSEL bits when the
device is powered up or reset.
The clock alternatives are shown in Table 6-3 below.

Note: 1. For all fuses “1” means unprogrammed and “0” means programmed.
2. This is the default setting. The device is shipped with this fuse combination.
To avoid unintentional switching of clock source, a protected change sequence must be followed to change the
CKSEL bits, as follows:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O register to register CCP.
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the CKSEL bits with the desired value.
6.5.2 CLKPR – Clock Prescale Register
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bits 3:0 – CLKPS[3:0]: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal system clock. These bits
can be written run-time to vary the clock frequency to suit the application requirements. As the divider divides the
master clock input to the MCU, the speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used.
The division factors are given in Table 6-4 on page 31.
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a protected change sequence must be followed to change the
CLKPS bits:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O register to register CCP.
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS bits.
Interrupts must be disabled when changing prescaler setting to make sure the write procedure is not interrupted.

Note: 1. This is the initial value when CKDIV8 fuse has been unprogrammed.
2. This is the initial value when CKDIV8 fuse has been programmed. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse
programmed.
The initial value of clock prescaler bits is determined by the CKDIV8 fuse (see Table 22-5 on page 210). When
CKDIV8 is unprogrammed, the system clock prescaler is set to one and, when programmed, to eight. Any value
can be written to the CLKPS bits regardless of the CKDIV8 fuse bit setting.
When CKDIV8 is programmed the initial value of CLKPS bits give a clock division factor of eight at start up. This is
useful when the selected clock source has a higher frequency than allowed under present operating conditions.
See “Speed” on page 229.
6.5.3 OSCCAL0 – Oscillator Calibration Register
Although temperature slope and frequency are in part controlled by registers OSCTCAL0A and OSCTCAL0B it is
possible to replace factory calibration by simply writing to this register alone. Optimal accuracy is achieved when
OSCCAL0, OSCTAL0A and OSCTCAL0B are calibrated together.
• Bits 7:0 – CAL0[7:0]: Oscillator Calibration Value
The oscillator calibration register is used to trim the internal 8MHz oscillator and to remove process variations from
the oscillator frequency. A pre-programmed calibration value is automatically written to this register during chip
reset, giving the factory calibrated frequency specified in Table 24-2 on page 230.
The application software can write this register to change the oscillator frequency. The oscillator can be calibrated
to frequencies specified in Table 24-2 on page 230. Calibration outside that range is not guaranteed.
The lowest oscillator frequency is reached by programming these bits to zero. Increasing the register value
increases the oscillator frequency. A typical frequency response curve is shown in “Calibrated Oscillator Frequency
(Nominal = 8MHz) vs. OSCCAL Value” on page 273.
Note that this oscillator is used to time EEPROM and Flash write accesses, and write times will be affected accordingly.
Do not calibrate to more than 8.8MHz if EEPROM or Flash is to be written. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash
write may fail.
To ensure stable operation of the MCU the calibration value should be changed in small steps. A step change in
frequency of more than 2% from one cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. Also, the difference
between two consecutive register values should not exceed 0x20. If these limits are exceeded the MCU must be
kept in reset during changes to clock frequency.

6.5.4 OSCTCAL0A – Oscillator Temperature Calibration Register A
This register is used for changing the temperature slope and frequency of the internal 8MHz oscillator. A pre-programmed
calibration value is automatically written to this register during chip reset, giving the factory calibrated
frequency specified in Table 24-2 on page 230.
This register need not be updated if factory defaults in OSCCAL0 are overwritten although optimal accuracy is
achieved when OSCCAL0, OSCTAL0A and OSCTCAL0B are calibrated together.
• Bit 7 – Sign of Oscillator Temperature Calibration Value
This is the sign bit of the calibration data.
• Bits 6:0 – Oscillator Temperature Calibration Value
These bits contain the numerical value of the calibration data.
6.5.5 OSCTCAL0B – Oscillator Temperature Calibration Register B
A pre-programmed calibration value is automatically written to this register during chip reset, giving the factory calibrated
frequency specified in Table 24-2 on page 230.
This register need not be updated if factory defaults in OSCCAL0 are overwritten although optimal accuracy is
achieved when OSCCAL0, OSCTAL0A and OSCTCAL0B are calibrated together.
• Bit 7 – Temperature Compensation Enable
When this bit is set the contents of registers OSCTCAL0A and OSCTCAL0B are used for calibration. When this bit
is cleared the temperature compensation hardware is disabled and registers OSCTCAL0A and OSCTCAL0B have
no effect on the frequency of the internal 8MHz oscillator.
Note that temperature compensation has a large effect on oscillator frequency and, hence, when enabled or disabled
the OSCCAL0 register must also be adjusted to compensate for this effect.
• Bits 6:0 – Temperature Compensation Step Adjust
These bits control the step size of the calibration data in OSCTCAL0A. The largest step size is achieved for 0x00
and smallest step size for 0x7F.

7. Power Management and Sleep Modes
The high performance and industry leading code efficiency makes the AVR microcontrollers an ideal choise for low
power applications. In addition, sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU,
thereby saving power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power consumption to
the application’s requirements.
7.1 Sleep Modes
Figure 6-1 on page 25 presents the different clock systems and their distribution in ATtiny1634. The figure is helpful
in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 7-1 shows the different sleep modes and the sources that may be
used for wake up.
Note: 1. Start frame detection, only.
2. Start condition, only.
3. Address match interrupt, only.
4. For INT0 level interrupt, only.
To enter a sleep mode, the SE bit in MCUCR must be set and a SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SMn
bits in MCUCR select which sleep mode will be activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 7-2 on page 37 for
a summary.
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then halted for
four cycles in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction
following SLEEP. The contents of the Register File and SRAM are unaltered when the device wakes up from
sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.

Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up the changed level must be held for some time to wake up
the MCU (and for the MCU to enter the interrupt service routine). See “External Interrupts” on page 48 for details.
7.1.1 Idle Mode
This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, while allowing other clocks to run. In Idle Mode, the CPU is
stopped but the following peripherals continue to operate:
• Watchdog and interrupt system
• Analog comparator, and ADC
• USART, TWI, and timer/counters
Idle mode allows the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones, such as Timer
Overflow. If wake-up from the analog comparator interrupt is not required, the analog comparator can be powered
down by setting the ACD bit in ACSRA. See “ACSRA – Analog Comparator Control and Status Register” on page
182. This will reduce power consumption in Idle mode.
If the ADC is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.
7.1.2 ADC Noise Reduction Mode
This sleep mode halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkFLASH, while allowing other clocks to run. In ADC Noise Reduction
mode, the CPU is stopped but the following peripherals continue to operate:
• Watchdog (if enabled), and external interrupts
• ADC
• USART start frame detector, and TWI
This improves the noise environment for the ADC, enabling higher resolution measurements. If the ADC is
enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.
The following events can wake up the MCU:
• Watchdog reset, external reset, and brown-out reset
• External level interrupt on INT0, and pin change interrupt
• ADC conversion complete interrupt, and SPM/EEPROM ready interrupt
• USI start condition, USART start frame detection, and TWI address match
7.1.3 Power-Down Mode
This sleep mode halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules, only. In Power-down
Mode the oscillator is stopped, while the following peripherals continue to operate:
• Watchdog (if enabled), external interrupts
The following events can wake up the MCU:
• Watchdog reset, external reset, and brown-out reset
• External level interrupt on INT0, and pin change interrupt
• USI start condition, USART start frame detection, and TWI address matchATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 36
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
7.1.4 Standby Mode
Standby Mode is identical to power-down, with the exception that the oscillator is kept running. From Standby
mode, the device wakes up in six clock cycles.
7.2 Power Reduction Register
The Power Reduction Register (PRR), see “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 38, provides a method to
reduce power consumption by stopping the clock to individual peripherals. When the clock for a peripheral is
stopped then:
• The current state of the peripheral is frozen.
• The associated registers can not be read or written.
• Resources used by the peripheral will remain occupied.
The peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the clock. Clearing the PRR bit wakes up the
peripheral and puts it in the same state as before shutdown.
Peripheral shutdown can be used in Idle mode and Active mode to significantly reduce the overall power consumption.
In all other sleep modes, the clock is already stopped.
7.3 Minimizing Power Consumption
There are several issues to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in an AVR controlled system.
In general, sleep modes should be used as much as possible, and the sleep mode should be selected so that as
few as possible of the device’s functions are operating. All functions not needed should be disabled. In particular,
the following modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest possible power
consumption.
7.3.1 Analog to Digital Converter
If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the ADC should be disabled before entering
any sleep mode. When the ADC is turned off and on again, the next conversion will be an extended conversion.
See “Analog to Digital Converter” on page 185 for details on ADC operation.
7.3.2 Analog Comparator
When entering Idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not used. When entering ADC Noise
Reduction mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled. In the other sleep modes, the Analog Comparator is
automatically disabled. However, if the Analog Comparator is set up to use the Internal Voltage Reference as
input, the Analog Comparator should be disabled in all sleep modes. Otherwise, the Internal Voltage Reference will
be enabled, independent of sleep mode. See “Analog Comparator” on page 181 for details on how to configure the
Analog Comparator.
7.3.3 Brown-out Detector
If the Brown-out Detector is not needed in the application, this module should be turned off. If the Brown-out Detector
is enabled by the BODPD Fuses, it will be enabled in all sleep modes, and hence, always consume power. In
the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current consumption. If the Brown-out Detector
is needed in the application, this module can also be set to Sampled BOD mode to save power. See “Brown-Out
Detection” on page 41 for details on how to configure the Brown-out Detector.
7.3.4 Internal Voltage Reference
The Internal Voltage Reference will be enabled when needed by the Brown-out Detection, the Analog Comparator
or the ADC. If these modules are disabled as described in the sections above, the internal voltage reference will be
disabled and it will not be consuming power. When turned on again, the user must allow the reference to start upATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 37
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
before the output is used. If the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately. See Internal
Bandgap Reference in Table 24-5 on page 231 for details on the start-up time.
7.3.5 Watchdog Timer
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, this module should be turned off. If the Watchdog Timer is
enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes, and hence, always consume power. In the deeper sleep modes, this
will contribute to the total current consumption. See “Watchdog Timer” on page 43 for details on how to configure
the Watchdog Timer.
7.3.6 Port Pins
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The most important thing
is then to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where both the I/O clock (clkI/O) and the ADC
clock (clkADC) are stopped, the input buffers of the device will be disabled. This ensures that no power is consumed
by the input logic when not needed. In some cases, the input logic is needed for detecting wake-up conditions, and
it will then be enabled. See the section “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 58 for details on which pins
are enabled. If the input buffer is enabled and the input signal is left floating or has an analog signal level close to
VCC/2, the input buffer will use excessive power.
For analog input pins, the digital input buffer should be disabled at all times. An analog signal level close to VCC/2
on an input pin can cause significant current even in active mode. Digital input buffers can be disabled by writing to
the Digital Input Disable Register (DIDR0). See “DIDR0 – Digital Input Disable Register 0” on page 200 for details.
7.3.7 On-chip Debug System
If the On-chip debug system is enabled by the DWEN Fuse and the chip enters sleep mode, the main clock source
is enabled and hence always consumes power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the
total current consumption.

• Bit 4 – SE: Sleep Enable
The SE bit must be written to logic one to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed.
To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmer’s purpose, it is recommended to
write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction and to clear it immediately
after waking up.
7.4.2 PRR – Power Reduction Register
The Power Reduction Register provides a method to reduce power consumption by allowing peripheral clock signals
to be disabled.
• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit and will always read zero.
• Bit 6 – PRTWI: Power Reduction Two-Wire Interface
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Two-Wire Interface module.
• Bit 5 – PRTIM1: Power Reduction Timer/Counter1
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter1 module. When the Timer/Counter1 is enabled, operation
will continue like before the shutdown.
• Bit 4 – PRTIM0: Power Reduction Timer/Counter0
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter0 module. When the Timer/Counter0 is enabled, operation
will continue like before the shutdown.
• Bit 3 – PRUSI: Power Reduction USI
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the USI by stopping the clock to the module. When waking up the USI
again, the USI should be re initialized to ensure proper operation.
• Bit 2 – PRUSART1: Power Reduction USART1
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the USART1 module. When the USART1 is enabled, operation will continue
like before the shutdown.
• Bit 1 – PRUSART0: Power Reduction USART0
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the USART0 module. When the USART0 is enabled, operation will continue
like before the shutdown.
• Bit 0 – PRADC: Power Reduction ADC
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the ADC. The ADC must be disabled before shut down. The analog comparator
cannot be used when the ADC is shut down.

8. System Control and Reset
8.1 Resetting the AVR
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from the Reset Vector.
The instruction placed at the Reset Vector should be a JMP (two-word, direct jump) instruction to the reset handling
routine, although other one- or two-word jump instructions can be used. If the program never enables an
interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations.
The circuit diagram in Figure 8-1 shows the reset logic. Electrical parameters of the reset circuitry are defined in
section “System and Reset” on page 231.
Figure 8-1. Reset Logic
The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This does not
require any clock source to be running.
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This allows the
power to reach a stable level before normal operation starts.
8.2 Reset Sources
The ATtiny1634 has four sources of reset:
• Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on Reset threshold (VPOT)
• External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for longer than the minimum
pulse length when RESET function is enabled
• Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and the Watchdog is enabled
• Brown-out Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Brown-out Reset threshold (VBOT)
and the Brown-out Detector is enabled
8.2.1 Power-on Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The detection level is defined in “System
and Reset” on page 231. The POR is activated whenever VCC is below the detection level. The POR circuit can
be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as to detect a failure in supply voltage.
A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is reset from Power-on. Reaching the Power-on Reset
threshold voltage invokes the delay counter, which determines how long the device is kept in reset after VCC rise.
The reset signal is activated again, without any delay, when VCC decreases below the detection level.

Figure 8-2. MCU Start-up, RESET Tied to VCC
Figure 8-3. MCU Start-up, RESET Extended Externally
8.2.2 External Reset
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin if enabled. Reset pulses longer than the minimum
pulse width (see section “System and Reset” on page 231) will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running.
Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset Threshold Voltage
– VRST – on its positive edge, the delay counter starts the MCU after the time-out period – tTOUT – has expired.
External reset is ignored during Power-on start-up count. After Power-on reset the internal reset is extended only if
RESET pin is low when the initial Power-on delay count is complete. See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3.

8.2.3 Watchdog Reset
When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse. On the falling edge of this pulse, the delay timer
starts counting the time-out period tTOUT. See page 43 for details on operation of the Watchdog Timer and Table
24-5 on page 231 for details on reset time-out.
Figure 8-5. Watchdog Reset During Operation
8.2.4 Brown-Out Detection
The Brown-Out Detection (BOD) circuit monitors that the VCC level is kept above a configurable trigger level, VBOT.
When the BOD is enabled, a BOD reset will be given when VCC falls and remains below the trigger level for the
length of the detection time, tBOD. The reset is kept active until VCC again rises above the trigger level.
Figure 8-6. Brown-out Detection reset.
The BOD circuit will not detect a drop in VCC unless the voltage stays below the trigger level for the detection time,
tBOD (see “System and Reset” on page 231).
The BOD circuit has three modes of operation:
• Disabled: In this mode of operation VCC is not monitored and, hence, it is recommended only for applications
where the power supply remains stable.

• Enabled: In this mode the VCC level is continuously monitored. If VCC drops below VBOT for at least tBOD a
brown-out reset will be generated.
• Sampled: In this mode the VCC level is sampled on each negative edge of a 1kHz clock that has been derived
from the 32kHz ULP oscillator. Between each sample the BOD is turned off. Compared to the mode where BOD
is constantly enabled this mode of operation reduces power consumption but fails to detect drops in VCC
between two positive edges of the 1kHz clock. When a brown-out is detected in this mode, the BOD circuit is set
to enabled mode to ensure that the device is kept in reset until VCC has risen above VBOT . The BOD will return
to sampled mode after reset has been released and the fuses have been read in.
The BOD mode of operation is selected using BODACT and BODPD fuse bits. The BODACT fuse bits determine
how the BOD operates in active and idle mode, as shown in Table 8-1.
The BODPD fuse bits determine the mode of operation in all sleep modes except idle mode, as shown in Table 8-
2.
See “Fuse Bits” on page 209.
8.3 Internal Voltage Reference
ATtiny1634 features an internal bandgap reference. This reference is used for Brown-out Detection, and it can be
used as an input to the Analog Comparator or the ADC. The bandgap voltage varies with supply voltage and
temperature.
8.3.1 Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The start-up time is given
in “System and Reset” on page 231. To save power, the reference is not always turned on. The reference is on
during the following situations:
1. When the BOD is enabled (see “Brown-Out Detection” on page 41).
2. When the internal reference is connected to the Analog Comparator (by setting the ACBG bit in ACSRA).
3. When the ADC is enabled.
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACBG bit or enabling the ADC, the user must always allow
the reference to start up before the output from the Analog Comparator or ADC is used. To reduce power conTable

sumption in Power-down mode, the user can avoid the three conditions above to ensure that the reference is
turned off before entering Power-down mode.
8.4 Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from the internal 32kHz ultra low power oscillator (see page 27). By controlling the
Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as shown in Table 8-5 on page 46. The
WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is disabled
and when a Chip Reset occurs. Ten different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset
period. If the reset period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the ATtiny1634 resets and executes from the
Reset Vector. For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to Table 8-5 on page 46.
The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can be very helpful
when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period, two different safety
levels are selected by the fuse WDTON as shown in Table 8-3 See “Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration
of the Watchdog Timer” on page 43 for details.
Figure 8-7. Watchdog Timer
8.4.1 Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer
The sequence for changing configuration differs slightly between the two safety levels. Separate procedures are
described for each level.
• Safety Level 1
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit to one without
any restriction. A timed sequence is needed when disabling an enabled Watchdog Timer. To disable an
enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:

• Safety Level 2
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read as one. A timed
sequence is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To change the Watchdog Time-out, the
following procedure must be followed:
a. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O registers to register CCP
b. Within four instruction cycles, write the WDP bit. The value written to WDE is irrelevant
8.4.2 Code Examples
The following code example shows how to turn off the WDT. The example assumes that interrupts are controlled
(e.g., by disabling interrupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during execution of these functions.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
8.5 Register Description
8.5.1 MCUSR – MCU Status Register
The MCU Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU Reset.
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny1634 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Watchdog Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic zero to the
flag.

The pin change interrupts trigger as follows:
• Pin Change Interrupt 0 (PCI0): triggers if any enabled PCINT[7:0] pin toggles
• Pin Change Interrupt 1 (PCI1): triggers if any enabled PCINT[11:8] pin toggles
• Pin Change Interrupt 2 (PCI2): triggers if any enabled PCINT[17:12] pin toggles
Registers PCMSK0, PCMSK1, and PCMSK2 control which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts.
Pin change interrupts on PCINT[17:0] are detected asynchronously, which means that these interrupts can be
used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.
External interrupt INT0 can be triggered by a falling or rising edge, or a low level. See “MCUCR – MCU Control
Register” on page 37. When INT0 is enabled and configured as level triggered, the interrupt will trigger as long as
the pin is held low.
Note that recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 requires the presence of an I/O clock, as described
in “Clock System” on page 24.
9.2.1 Low Level Interrupt
A low level interrupt on INT0 is detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt source can be used for
waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except Idle).
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level must be held long
enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If the level disappears before the end of
the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the
SUT and CKSEL fuses, as described in “Clock System” on page 24.
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program execution will not be
diverted to the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following the SLEEP command.
9.2.2 Pin Change Interrupt Timing

9.3 Register Description
9.3.1 MCUCR – MCU Control Register

External Interrupt 0 is triggered by activity on pin INT0, provided that the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt
mask are set. The conditions required to trigger the interrupt are defined in Table 9-2.
Note: 1. If low level interrupt is selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction
to generate an interrupt.
2. The value on the INT0 pin is sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last
longer than one clock period will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt.

Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt request even if INT0 has been configured as an output.
• Bit 5 – PCIE2: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 2
When this bit and the I-bit of SREG are set the Pin Change Interrupt 2 is enabled. Any change on an enabled

10. I/O Ports
10.1 Overview
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This means that
the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin with the
SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling
of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). Most output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with
both high sink and source capability, while some are asymmetrical and have high sink and standard source capability.
The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable pull-up
resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as
indicated in Figure 10-1 on page 54. See “Electrical Characteristics” on page 228 for a complete list of parameters.
Figure 10-1. I/O Pin Equivalent Schematic
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the numbering
letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented
generally as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers and bit locations are listed in “” on page 70.
Four I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register – PORTx, Data
Direction Register – DDRx, Pull-up Enable Register – PUEx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The Port Input Pins
I/O location is read only, while the Data Register, the Data Direction Register, and the Pull-Up Enable Register are
read/write. However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx Register, will result in a toggle in the corresponding bit
in the Data Register.
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page 54. Most port pins
are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral features on the device. How each alternate function interferes
with the port pin is described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 59. Refer to the individual module sections
for a full description of the alternate functions.
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the other pins in the port
as general digital I/O.
10.2 Ports as General Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 10-2 shows a functional description of
one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.

Note: 1. WEx, WRx, WPx, WDx, REx, RRx, RPx, and RDx are common to all pins within the same port. clkI/O, and SLEEP
are common to all ports.
10.2.1 Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of four register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, PUExn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register Description”
on page 71, the DDxn bits are accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits at the PORTx I/O address, the
PUExn bits at the PUEx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one, Pxn is configured
as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input pin.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven high (one). If
PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven low (zero).

The pull-up resistor is activated, if the PUExn is written logic one. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PUExn has to
be written logic zero.
Table 10-1 summarizes the control signals for the pin value.
Port pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even when no clocks are running.
10.2.2 Toggling the Pin
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn. Note that the SBI
instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
10.2.3 Break-Before-Make Switching
In Break-Before-Make mode, switching the DDRxn bit from input to output introduces an immediate tri-state period
lasting one system clock cycle, as indicated in Figure 10-3. For example, if the system clock is 4MHz and the
DDRxn is written to make an output, an immediate tri-state period of 250 ns is introduced before the value of
PORTxn is seen on the port pin.
To avoid glitches it is recommended that the maximum DDRxn toggle frequency is two system clock cycles. The
Break-Before-Make mode applies to the entire port and it is activated by the BBMx bit. For more details, see
“PORTCR – Port Control Register” on page 71.
When switching the DDRxn bit from output to input no immediate tri-state period is introduced.

10.2.4 Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the PINxn Register bit. As
shown in Figure 10-2 on page 55, the PINxn Register bit and the preceding latch constitute a synchronizer. This is
needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces
a delay. Figure 10-4 shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin
value. The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.
Figure 10-4. Synchronization when Reading an Externally Applied Pin value
Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch is closed when
the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the shaded region of the “SYNC
LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at
the succeeding positive clock edge. As indicated by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition
on the pin will be delayed between ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated in Figure 10-5
on page 58. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of the clock. In this case, the
delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system clock period.

10.2.5 Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 55, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the input of the schmitttrigger.
The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep Controller in Power-down and Standby
modes to avoid high power consumption if some input signals are left floating, or have an analog signal level close
to VCC/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as external interrupt pins. If the external interrupt request is not enabled,
SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also overridden by various other alternate functions as described in
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 59.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as “Interrupt on Rising
Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interrupt is not enabled, the corresponding
External Interrupt Flag will be set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these
sleep mode produces the requested logic change.
10.2.6 Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even though most of
the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating inputs should be avoided to
reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle
mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up. In this case, the
pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is important, it is recommended to use
an external pull-up or pulldown. Connecting unused pins directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this
may cause excessive currents if the pin is accidentally configured as an output.

10.2.7 Program Examples
The following code example shows how to set port A pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define the port pins from
4 to 5 as input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 4. The resulting pin values are read back again, but as previously
discussed, a nop instruction is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.
Note: Two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1 and 4, until the direction bits
are correctly set, defining bit 2 and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as strong high drivers.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
10.3 Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. In Figure 10-6 below is shown how
the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 10-2 on page 55 can be overridden by alternate functions.

16.8.3 Receive Compete Flag and Interrupt
The USART receiver has one flag that indicates the receiver state.
The Receive Complete flag (RXCn) indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer. This flag is set
when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and cleared when the receive buffer is empty (i.e., it does not contain
any unread data). If the receiver is disabled (RXENn = 0), the receive buffer will be flushed and, consequently, the
RXCn bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIEn) is set, the USART Receive Complete interrupt will be executed
as long as the RXCn flag is set (and provided that global interrupts are enabled). When interrupt-driven data
reception is used, the receive complete routine must read the received data from UDRn in order to clear the RXCn
flag, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
16.8.4 Receiver Error Flags
The USART Receiver has three Error Flags: Frame Error (FEn), Data OverRun (DORn) and Parity Error (UPEn).
All can be accessed by reading UCSRnA. Common for the Error Flags is that they are located in the receive buffer
together with the frame for which they indicate the error status. Due to the buffering of the Error Flags, the UCSRnA
must be read before the receive buffer (UDRn), since reading the UDRn I/O location changes the buffer read
location. Another equality for the Error Flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to the flag
location. However, all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRnA is written for upward compatibility of future
USART implementations. None of the Error Flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FEn) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame stored in the receive
buffer. The FEn Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one), and the FEn Flag will be one when the
stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions
and protocol handling. The FEn Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBSn bit in UCSRnC since the Receiver
ignores all, except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing
to UCSRnA.
The Data OverRun (DORn) Flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. A Data OverRun occurs
when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in the Receive Shift Register, and a
new start bit is detected. If the DORn Flag is set there was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last
read from UDRn, and the next frame read from UDRn. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to
zero when writing to UCSRnA. The DORn Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from
the Shift Register to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Parity Error when received. If
Parity Check is not enabled the UPEn bit will always be read zero. For compatibility with future devices, always set
this bit to zero when writing to UCSRnA. For more details see “Parity Bit Calculation” on page 150 and “Parity
Checker” on page 157.
16.8.5 Parity Checker
The parity checker is active when the high USART Parity Mode bit (UPMn1) is set. The type of parity check to be
performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPMn0 bit. When enabled, the parity checker calculates the parity of
the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the
check is stored in the receive buffer together with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error flag (UPEn) can
then be read by software to check if the frame had a parity error.
If parity checking is enabled, the UPEn bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a
parity error when received. This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDRn) is read.ATtiny1634 [DATASHEET] 158
Atmel-8303H-AVR-ATtiny1634-Datasheet_02/2014
16.8.6 Disabling the Receiver
Unlike the transmitter, the receiver is disabled immediately and any data from ongoing receptions will be lost.
When disabled (RXENn = 0), the receiver will no longer override the normal function of the RxDn port pin and the
FIFO buffer is flushed, with any remaining data in the buffer lost.
16.8.7 Flushing the Receive Buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer will be emptied of its contents.
Unread data will be lost. To flush the buffer during normal operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the
UDRn until the RXCn flag is cleared.
The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “Code Examples” on page 6.
16.9 Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data reception. The
clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate clock to the incoming asynchronous
serial frames at the RxDn pin. The data recovery logic samples and low pass filters each incoming bit,
thereby improving the noise immunity of the receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on
the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
16.9.1 Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes the internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 16-5 illustrates the
sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. In normal mode the sample rate is 16 times the baud rate,
in double speed mode eight times. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling
process. Note the larger time variation when using the double speed mode of operation (U2Xn = 1). Samples
denoted zero are samples done when the RxDn line is idle (i.e., no communication activity).

4. Not tested in production.
5. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the sum of
all IOL (for all ports) should not exceed 100 mA. If IOL exceeds the test conditions, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current
greater than the listed test condition.
6. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the sum

26. Typical Characteristics
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of similar devices in the
same process and design methods. Thus, the data should be treated as indications of how the part will behave.
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing. During characterisation
devices are operated at frequencies higher than test limits but they are not guaranteed to function properly
at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and with internal pullups
enabled. Current consumption is a function of several factors such as operating voltage, operating frequency,
loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature. The dominating factors are
operating voltage and frequency.
A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock source but current consumption in Power-Down
mode is independent of clock selection. The difference between current consumption in Power-Down mode with
Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-Down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
The current drawn from pins with a capacitive load may be estimated (for one pin) as follows:
where VCC = operating voltage, CL = load capacitance and fSW = average switching frequency of I/O pin.

Note: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operation the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.

ATmega329/3290/649/6490
The Atmel® AVR® core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.
All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two
independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The
resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The Atmel ATmega329/3290/649/6490 provides the following features: 32/64K bytes of In-System
Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 1/2K bytes EEPROM, 2/4K byte
SRAM, 54/69 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, a JTAG interface
for Boundary-scan, On-chip Debugging support and programming, a complete On-chip LCD
controller with internal contrast control, three flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal
and external interrupts, a serial programmable USART, Universal Serial Interface with Start
Condition Detector, an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC, a programmable Watchdog Timer with internal
Oscillator, an SPI serial port, and five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue
functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator,
disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Power-save mode,
the asynchronous timer and the LCD controller continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a
timer base and operate the LCD display while the rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise
Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer, LCD controller
and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator
Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast
start-up combined with low-power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The
On-chip In-System re-Programmable (ISP) Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed
In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory
programmer, or by an On-chip Boot program running on the AVR core. The Boot program can
use any interface to download the application program in the Application Flash memory. Software
in the Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated,
providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System
Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is a powerful
microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded
control applications.
The Atmel ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is supported with a full suite of program and system
development tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators,
In-Circuit Emulators, and Evaluation kits.6

and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI”
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically

6. AVR CPU Core
6.1 Overview
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core
is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories,
perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
6.2 Architectural Overview
Figure 6-1. Block Diagram of the AVR Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers
can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to
directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format.
Every program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot Program section and the
Application Program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock bits for write and read/write
protection. The SPM instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory section must
reside in the Boot Program section.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data
Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F. In addition, the
ATmega329/3290/649/6490 has Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM where only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
6.3 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose
working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose
registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations of the
architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication
and fractional format. See the “Instruction Set” section for a detailed description.12
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
6.4 AVR Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as
specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the
dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored
when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
6.4.1 SREG – AVR Status Register
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt
enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable
Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt
enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by
the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by
the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination
for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry Is useful
in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction
Set Description” for detailed information.

• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set
Description” for detailed information.
6.5 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve
the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 6-2 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 6-2. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and
most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 6-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the file.

6.5.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. The X-, Y-, and Z-registers
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
6.6 Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack
with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto
the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is
popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of
bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations
of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register
will not be present.

6.7 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR
CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the
chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 6-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.
Figure 6-4. The Parallel Instruction Fetches and Instruction Executions
Figure 6-5 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle an ALU
operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination
register.
Figure 6-5. Single Cycle ALU Operation
6.8 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are
assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt
Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt. Depending on the Program
Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12
are programmed. This feature improves software security. See the section “Memory Programming”
on page 293 for details.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 49. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the

priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request
0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL
bit in the MCU Control Register (MCUCR). Refer to “Interrupts” on page 49 for more information.
The Reset Vector can also be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by programming the
BOOTRST Fuse, see “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-Programming” on page
278.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding
Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s)
to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is
cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the
Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence.
Assembly Code Example
in r16, SREG ; store SREG value
cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence
sbi EECR, EEMWE ; start EEPROM write
sbi EECR, EEWE
out SREG, r16 ; restore SREG value (I-bit)
C Code Example
char cSREG;
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */

11.2 Register Description
11.2.1 MCUCR – MCU Control Register
• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the Flash
memory. When this bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the beginning of the Boot
Loader section of the Flash. The actual address of the start of the Boot Flash Section is determined
by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the section “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write

Self-Programming” on page 278 for details. To avoid unintentional changes of Interrupt Vector
tables, a special write procedure must be followed to change the IVSEL bit:
1. Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one.
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE.
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled
in the cycle IVCE is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to
IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, interrupts remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the Status
Register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.
Note: If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is programmed,
interrupts are disabled while executing from the Application section. If Interrupt Vectors are placed
in the Application section and Boot Lock bit BLB12 is programed, interrupts are disabled while
executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to the section “Boot Loader Support – Read-WhileWrite
Self-Programming” on page 278 for details on Boot Lock bits.
• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by
hardware four cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable
interrupts, as explained in the IVSEL description above. See Code Example below.
Assembly Code Example
Move_interrupts:
;Get MCUCR
in r16, MCUCR
mov r17, r16
; Enable change of Interrupt Vectors
ori r16, (1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock
cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system
clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
15.0.3 External Clock Source
An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock
(clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization
logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 15-1
shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization and edge detector
logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch
is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative
(CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.
Figure 15-1. T1/T0 Pin Sampling
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the T1/T0 pin to the counter is updated.

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least
one system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system
clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses
sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency
(Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency
and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is
recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

15.1 Register Description
15.1.1 GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization Mode
Writing the TSM bit to one activates the Timer/Counter Synchronization mode. In this mode, the
value that is written to the PSR2 and PSR10 bits is kept, hence keeping the corresponding prescaler
reset signals asserted. This ensures that the corresponding Timer/Counters are halted and
can be configured to the same value without the risk of one of them advancing during configuration.
When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSR2 and PSR10 bits are cleared by hardware,
and the Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.

16. 16-bit Timer/Counter1
16.1 Features
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),
wave generation, and signal timing measurement. The main features are:
• True 16-bit Design (i.e., Allows 16-bit PWM)
• Two independent Output Compare Units
• Double Buffered Output Compare Registers
• One Input Capture Unit
• Input Capture Noise Canceler
• Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
• Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Variable PWM Period
• Frequency Generator
• External Event Counter
• Four independent interrupt Sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, and ICF1)
16.2 Overview
Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit.
However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used,
i.e., TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 16-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATmega3290/6490” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers,
including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit
locations are listed in the “Register Description” on page 132.
The PRTIM1 bit in “Power Reduction Register” on page 37 must be written to zero to enable the
Timer/Counter1 module.111

Note: 1. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 2, Table 13-5 on page 68, and Table 13-11 on page 72 for
Timer/Counter1 pin placement and description.
16.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture Register
(ICR1) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-
bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on
page 113. The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no
CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all
visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR1). All interrupts are individually masked with
the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK1). TIFR1 and TIMSK1 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on
the T1 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter
uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source
is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT1).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the Timer/Counter
value at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to
generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OC1A/B). See “OutClock

put Compare Units” on page 119.. The compare match event will also set the Compare Match
Flag (OCF1A/B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.
The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered)
event on either the Input Capture pin (ICP1) or on the Analog Comparator pins (See
“Analog Comparator” on page 207.) The Input Capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (Noise
Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined
by either the OCR1A Register, the ICR1 Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using
OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCR1A Register can not be used for generating a
PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowing the TOP
value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICR1 Register can be used
as an alternative, freeing the OCR1A to be used as PWM output.
16.2.2 Definitions
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:
16.2.3 Compatibility
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has been updated and improved from previous versions of the 16-bit
AVR Timer/Counter. This 16-bit Timer/Counter is fully compatible with the earlier version
regarding:
• All 16-bit Timer/Counter related I/O Register address locations, including Timer Interrupt
Registers.
• Bit locations inside all 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers, including Timer Interrupt Registers.
• Interrupt Vectors.
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register location:
• PWM10 is changed to WGM10.
• PWM11 is changed to WGM11.
• CTC1 is changed to WGM12.
The following bits are added to the 16-bit Timer/Counter Control Registers:
• FOC1A and FOC1B are added to TCCR1C.
• WGM13 is added to TCCR1B.
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has improvements that will affect the compatibility in some special
cases.
Table 16-1. Definitions of Timer/Counter values.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65535).
TOP
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values:
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCR1A or ICR1 Register.
The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.113

ATmega329/3290/649/6490
16.3 Accessing 16-bit Registers
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via
the 8-bit data bus. The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations.
Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit
access. The same temporary register is shared between all 16-bit registers within each 16-bit
timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When the low byte of a
16-bit register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the temporary register, and the low
byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of
a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary
register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-
bit registers does not involve using the temporary register.
To do a 16-bit write, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit read, the low
byte must be read before the high byte.
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit Timer Registers assuming that no
interrupts updates the temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing
the OCR1A/B and ICR1 Registers. Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit
access.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 9.
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 register pair.
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt
occurs between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code
updates the temporary register by accessing the same or any other of the 16-bit Timer Registers,
then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when both

the interrupts during the 16-bit access.

Writing any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the same principle.

The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be written
to TCNT1.
16.3.1 Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written,
then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic
operation described previously also applies in this case.

16.4 Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source
is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CS12:0) bits
located in the Timer/Counter control Register B (TCCR1B). For details on clock sources and
prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 107.
16.5 Counter Unit
The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit.
Figure 16-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.
Figure 16-2. Counter Unit Block Diagram
Signal description (internal signals):

Direction Select between increment and decrement.
Clear Clear TCNT1 (set all bits to zero).
clkT1 Timer/Counter clock.
TOP Signalize that TCNT1 has reached maximum value.
BOTTOM Signalize that TCNT1 has reached minimum value (zero).
The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: Counter High (TCNT1H) containing
the upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight
bits. The TCNT1H Register can only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an
access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register (TEMP).
The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read, and
TCNT1H is updated with the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows the
CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus.
It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1 Register when the
counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the
sections where they are of importance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT1). The clkT1 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CS12:0). When no clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU, independent of

whether clkT1 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits
(WGM13:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B).
There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms
are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC1x. For more details about advanced counting
sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 123.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM13:0 bits. TOV1 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
16.6 Input Capture Unit
The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give
them a time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple
events, can be applied via the ICP1 pin or alternatively, via the analog-comparator unit. The
time-stamps can then be used to calculate frequency, duty-cycle, and other features of the signal
applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating a log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 16-3. The elements of
the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded. The
small “n” in register and bit names indicates the Timer/Counter number.
Figure 16-3. Input Capture Unit Block Diagram
When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture pin (ICP1), alternatively
on the Analog Comparator output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge
detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter
(TCNT1) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICR1). The Input Capture Flag (ICF1) is set at
the same system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1 Register. If enabled (ICIE1 = 1),
the Input Capture Flag generates an Input Capture interrupt. The ICF1 Flag is automatically

cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF1 Flag can be cleared by software
by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICR1) is done by first reading the low
byte (ICR1L) and then the high byte (ICR1H). When the low byte is read the high byte is copied
into the high byte temporary register (TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will
access the TEMP Register.
The ICR1 Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that utilizes
the ICR1 Register for defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the Waveform Generation
mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICR1
Register. When writing the ICR1 Register the high byte must be written to the ICR1H I/O location
before the low byte is written to ICR1L.
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Registers”
on page 113.
16.6.1 Input Capture Trigger Source
The main trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture pin (ICP1).
Timer/Counter1 can alternatively use the Analog Comparator output as trigger source for the
Input Capture unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by setting the Analog
Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register
(ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The Input Capture Flag
must therefore be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture pin (ICP1) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled
using the same technique as for the T1 pin (Figure 15-1 on page 107). The edge detector is also
identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the
edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. Note that the input of the
noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the Timer/Counter is set in a Waveform
Generation mode that uses ICR1 to define TOP.
An Input Capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP1 pin.
16.6.2 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The
noise canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the
output that in turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNC1) bit in
Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR1B). When enabled the noise canceler introduces additional
four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to the update of the
ICR1 Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the
prescaler.
16.6.3 Using the Input Capture Unit
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity
for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has
not read the captured value in the ICR1 Register before the next event occurs, the ICR1 will be
overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICR1 Register should be read as early in the interrupt
handler routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has relatively high119
2552K–AVR–04/11

priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum number of clock
cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is
actively changed during operation, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after
each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1
Register has been read. After a change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag (ICF1) must be
cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,
the clearing of the ICF1 Flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).
16.7 Output Compare Units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR1x). If TCNT equals OCR1x the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output
Compare Flag (OCF1x) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE1x = 1), the Output Compare
Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF1x Flag is automatically cleared
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1x Flag can be cleared by software by writing
a logical one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to
generate an output according to operating mode set by the Waveform Generation mode
(WGM13:0) bits and Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals
are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in
some modes of operation (See “Modes of Operation” on page 123.)
A special feature of Output Compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP value (i.e.,
counter resolution). In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period time
for waveforms generated by the Waveform Generator.
Figure 16-4 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The small “n” in the register and
bit names indicates the device number (n = 1 for Timer/Counter 1), and the “x” indicates Output
Compare unit (A/B). The elements of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Output
Compare unit are gray shaded.120

Figure 16-4. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR1x Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the
double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR1x Compare
Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The synchronization
prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output
glitch-free.
The OCR1x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR1x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR1x directly. The content of the OCR1x (Buffer or Compare)
Register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/Counter does not update this register
automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Register). Therefore OCR1x is not read via the high byte
temporary register (TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the low byte first as when
accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCR1x Registers must be done via the TEMP Register
since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte (OCR1xH) has to be
written first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be
updated by the value written. Then when the low byte (OCR1xL) is written to the lower eight bits,
the high byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCR1x buffer or OCR1x Compare
Register in the same system clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Registers”
on page 113.
16.7.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the
OCF1x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC1x pin will be updated as if a real compare
match had occurred (the COM11:0 bits settings define whether the OC1x pin is set, cleared or
toggled).

16.7.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT1 Write
All CPU writes to the TCNT1 Register will block any compare match that occurs in the next timer
clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1x to be initialized to the
same value as TCNT1 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
16.7.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT1 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the Output Compare
units, independent of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT1
equals the OCR1x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP values. The
compare match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF. Similarly,
do not write the TCNT1 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is counting down.
The setup of the OC1x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC1x value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC1x) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC1x Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM1x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM1x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.122

ATmega329/3290/649/6490
16.8 Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator uses
the COM1x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC1x) state at the next compare match.
Secondly the COM1x1:0 bits control the OC1x pin output source. Figure 16-5 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COM1x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O
pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM1x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OC1x state, the reference is for the internal OC1x Register, not the OC1x pin. If a system reset
occur, the OC1x Register is reset to “0”.
Figure 16-5. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC1x) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COM1x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC1x pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC1x pin (DDR_OC1x) must be set as output before the OC1x value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the Waveform Generation
mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 16-2, Table 16-3 and Table 16-4 for
details.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC1x state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COM1x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “Register Description” on page 132.
The COM1x1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.

16.8.1 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OC1x Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in the
non-PWM modes refer to Table 16-2 on page 132. For fast PWM mode refer to Table 16-3 on
page 133, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 16-4 on
page 133.
A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC1x strobe bits.
16.9 Modes of Operation
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins, is
defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM1x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM1x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a compare
match (See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 122.)
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 130.
16.9.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM13:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the
BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) will be set in
the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 becomes zero. The TOV1 Flag in this case behaves
like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow
interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be
written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maximum
interval between the external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval
between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to
extend the resolution for the capture unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the
Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
16.9.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1 Register
are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when
the counter value (TCNT1) matches either the OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1 (WGM13:0 =
12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This124
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation
of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 16-6. The counter value (TCNT1)
increases until a compare match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter (TCNT1)
is cleared.
Figure 16-6. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either
using the OCF1A or ICF1 Flag according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However,
changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a
low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering
feature. If the new value written to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current value of
TCNT1, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum
value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur.
In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode
using OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 = 15) since the OCR1A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency
of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform frequency is
defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV1 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
16.9.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) provides a
high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM
options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts
from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared
on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
Output mode output is set on compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope
operation, the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct
and phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dual-slope operation. This high
frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC
applications. High frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors),
hence reduces total system cost.
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or
OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum
resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be
calculated by using the following equation:
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the
fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 =
14), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 15). The counter is then cleared at the following timer
clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 16-7. The figure
shows fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the
timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram
includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1
slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will
be set when a compare match occurs.
Figure 16-7. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition
the OC1A or ICF1 Flag is set at the same timer clock cycle as TOV1 is set when either OCR1A
or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value. If one of the interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler
routine can be used for updating the TOP and compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1x Registers are written.

The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP
value. The ICR1 Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low
value when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new
ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of TCNT1. The result will then be that the
counter will miss the compare match at the TOP value. The counter will then have to count to the
MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur.
The OCR1A Register however, is double buffered. This feature allows the OCR1A I/O location
to be written anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is written the value written will be put into
the OCR1A Buffer Register. The OCR1A Compare Register will then be updated with the value
in the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNT1 matches TOP. The update is done
at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 is cleared and the TOV1 Flag is set.
Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICR1, the OCR1A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCR1A
as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins.
Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (see Table 16-3 on page 133). The actual
OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output
(DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x Register at
the compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at
the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output
will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR1x equal to TOP
will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the
COM1x1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC1A to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM1A1:0 = 1). This applies only
if OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 15). The waveform generated will have
a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is
similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare
unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
16.9.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct Pulse Width Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, 3,
10, or 11) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The
phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dualslope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from
TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is
cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while counting up, and set on the
compare match while counting down. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is

inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope
operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes
are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined
by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to
0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution
in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either
one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICR1
(WGM13:0 = 10), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 11). The counter has then reached the
TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock
cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 16-8. The figure
shows phase correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1
value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The
diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on
the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt
Flag will be set when a compare match occurs.
Figure 16-8. Phase Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When
either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 Flag is set accordingly
at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x Registers are updated with the double buffer
value (at TOP). The Interrupt Flags can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter
reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.

Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1x Registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 16-8 illustrates, changing the
TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the phase correct mode can result in an
unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in the time of update of the OCR1x Register.
Since the OCR1x update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This
implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the
length of the rising slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the
two slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the unsymmetrical
result on the output.
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase correct
mode when changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static
TOP value there are practically no differences between the two modes of operation.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (See Table 1 on page 133).
The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is
set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x
Register at the compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and
clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when
the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can
be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If
OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 11) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output
will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.
16.9.5 Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode
The phase and frequency correct Pulse Width Modulation, or phase and frequency correct PWM
mode (WGM13:0 = 8 or 9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform
generation option. The phase and frequency correct PWM mode is, like the phase correct
PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM
(0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the
Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while
counting up, and set on the compare match while counting down. In inverting Compare Output
mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency
compared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the
dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM
mode is the time the OCR1x Register is updated by the OCR1x Buffer Register, (see Figure 16-
8 and Figure 16-9).

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either
ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and
the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can
be calculated using the following equation:
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value
matches either the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 8), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 9). The
counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be
equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct and frequency
correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 16-9. The figure shows phase and frequency correct
PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram
shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes noninverted
and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent
compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set when a
compare match occurs.
Figure 16-9. Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x
Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCR1A or ICR1
is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 Flag set when TCNT1 has reached TOP.
The Interrupt Flags can then be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the
TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
As Figure 16-9 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, symmetrical
in all periods. Since the OCR1x Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising
and the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore
frequency correct.

Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICR1, the OCR1A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by changing the TOP value, using the OCR1A as
TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms
on the OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and
an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (See Table 1 on
page 133). The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the
port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing)
the OC1x Register at the compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments,
and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at compare match between OCR1x and
TCNT1 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase
and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be set to high for noninverted
PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If OCR1A
is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 9) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output will toggle
with a 50% duty cycle.
16.10 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT1) is therefore shown as a
clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt
Flags are set, and when the OCR1x Register is updated with the OCR1x buffer value (only for
modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 16-10 shows a timing diagram for the setting of OCF1x.

16.11 Register Description
16.11.1 TCCR1A – Timer/Counter1 Control Register A
• Bit 7:6 – COM1A1:0: Compare Output Mode for Unit A
• Bit 5:4 – COM1B1:0: Compare Output Mode for Unit B
The COM1A1:0 and COM1B1:0 control the Output Compare pins (OC1A and OC1B respectively)
behavior. If one or both of the COM1A1:0 bits are written to one, the OC1A output
overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the
COM1B1:0 bit are written to one, the OC1B output overrides the normal port functionality of the
I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding
to the OC1A or OC1B pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OC1A or OC1B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1x1:0 bits is dependent
of the WGM13:0 bits setting. Table 16-2 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the
WGM13:0 bits are set to a Normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).

Table 16-3 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the fast
PWM mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. In
this case the compare match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast
PWM Mode” on page 124. for more details.
Table 16-4 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the phase

Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. See
“Phase Correct PWM Mode” on page 126. for more details.
• Bit 1:0 – WGM11:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM13:2 bits found in the TCCR1B Register, these bits control the counting
sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform
generation to be used, see Table 16-5. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter
unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode, and three types
of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. (See “Modes of Operation” on page 123.).

Note: 1. The CTC1 and PWM11:0 bit definition names are obsolete. Use the WGM12:0 definitions. However, the functionality and
location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.
16.11.2 TCCR1B – Timer/Counter1 Control Register B
• Bit 7 – ICNC1: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture Noise Canceler. When the noise canceler is
activated, the input from the Input Capture pin (ICP1) is filtered. The filter function requires four
successive equal valued samples of the ICP1 pin for changing its output. The Input Capture is
therefore delayed by four Oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture
event. When the ICES1 bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and
when the ICES1 bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICES1 setting, the counter value is copied into the
Input Capture Register (ICR1). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICF1), and this
can be used to cause an Input Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.

When the ICR1 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM13:0 bits located in the
TCCR1A and the TCCR1B Register), the ICP1 is disconnected and consequently the Input Capture
function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be
written to zero when TCCR1B is written.
• Bit 4:3 – WGM13:2: Waveform Generation Mode
See TCCR1A Register description.
• Bit 2:0 – CS12:0: Clock Select
The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Figure
16-10 and Figure 16-11.
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter1, transitions on the T1 pin will clock the
counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the
counting.
16.11.3 TCCR1C – Timer/Counter1 Control Register C
• Bit 7 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for Unit A
• Bit 6 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare for Unit B
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are only active when the WGM13:0 bits specifies a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to zero when
TCCR1A is written when operating in a PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the
FOC1A/FOC1B bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit.
The OC1A/OC1B output is changed according to its COM1x1:0 bits setting. Note that the
FOC1A/FOC1B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the
COM1x1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.

A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear Timer
on Compare match (CTC) mode using OCR1A as TOP. The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are always
read as zero.
16.11.4 TCNT1H and TCNT1L – Timer/Counter1
The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNT1H and TCNT1L, combined TCNT1) give direct
access, both for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To
ensure that both the high and low bytes are read and written simultaneously when the CPU
accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High Byte Register
(TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit
Registers” on page 113.
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a compare
match between TCNT1 and one of the OCR1x Registers.
Writing to the TCNT1 Register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock
for all compare units.
16.11.5 OCR1AH and OCR1AL – Output Compare Register 1 A
16.11.6 OCR1BH and OCR1BL – Output Compare Register 1 B
The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT1). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC1x pin.
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are
written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed using an
8-bit temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other
16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 113.

Input Capture Register 1
The Input Capture is updated with the counter (TCNT1) value each time an event occurs on the
ICP1 pin (or optionally on the Analog Comparator output for Timer/Counter1). The Input Capture
can be used for defining the counter TOP value.
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are read
simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit
temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit
registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 113.
16.11.8 TIMSK1 – Timer/Counter1 Interrupt Mask Register

• Bit 5 – ICF1: Timer/Counter1, Input Capture Flag
This flag is set when a capture event occurs on the ICP1 pin. When the Input Capture Register
(ICR1) is set by the WGM13:0 to be used as the TOP value, the ICF1 Flag is set when the counter
reaches the TOP value.
ICF1 is automatically cleared when the Input Capture Interrupt Vector is executed. Alternatively,
ICF1 can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
• Bit 2 – OCF1B: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare B Match Flag
This flag is set in the timer clock cycle after the counter (TCNT1) value matches the Output
Compare Register B (OCR1B).
Note that a Forced Output Compare (FOC1B) strobe will not set the OCF1B Flag.
OCF1B is automatically cleared when the Output Compare Match B Interrupt Vector is executed.
Alternatively, OCF1B can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
Bit 1 – OCF1A: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare A Match Flag
This flag is set in the timer clock cycle after the counter (TCNT1) value matches the Output
Compare Register A (OCR1A).
Note that a Forced Output Compare (FOC1A) strobe will not set the OCF1A Flag.
OCF1A is automatically cleared when the Output Compare Match A Interrupt Vector is executed.
Alternatively, OCF1A can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
• Bit 0 – TOV1: Timer/Counter1, Overflow Flag
The setting of this flag is dependent of the WGM13:0 bits setting. In Normal and CTC modes,
the TOV1 Flag is set when the timer overflows. Refer to Table 16-5 on page 134 for the TOV1
Flag behavior when using another WGM13:0 bit setting.
TOV1 is automatically cleared when the Timer/Counter1 Overflow Interrupt Vector is executed.
Alternatively, TOV1 can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.

17. 8-bit Timer/Counter2 with PWM and Asynchronous Operation
17.1 Features
Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single compare unit, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. The
main features are:
• Single Compare Unit Counter
• Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
• Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Frequency Generator
• 10-bit Clock Prescaler
• Overflow and Compare Match Interrupt Sources (TOV2 and OCF2A)
• Allows Clocking from External 32kHz Watch Crystal Independent of the I/O Clock
17.2 Overview
A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 17-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATmega3290/6490” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers,
including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit
locations are listed in the “Register Description” on page 153.

17.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2A) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt
request (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register
(TIFR2). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK2).
TIFR2 and TIMSK2 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from
the TOSC1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by
the Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR). The Clock Select logic block controls which clock
source the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive
when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the
timer clock (clkT2).
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2A) is compared with the Timer/Counter
value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to generate
a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OC2A). See “Output
Compare Unit” on page 141. for details. The compare match event will also set the Compare
Flag (OCF2A) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.
17.2.2 Definitions
Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT2 for accessing Timer/Counter2
counter value and so on.
The definitions in Table 17-1 are also used extensively throughout the section.
17.3 Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous
clock source. The clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS2
bit in the ASSR Register is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter
Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For details on asynchronous operation, see “ASSR
– Asynchronous Status Register” on page 155. For details on clock sources and prescaler, see
“Timer/Counter Prescaler” on page 152.
17.4 Counter Unit
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure
17-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.
Table 17-1. Definitions of Timer/Counter values.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the
fixed value 0xFF (MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2A Register. The
assignment is dependent on the mode of operation.141

top Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached maximum value.
bottom Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero).
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is selected (CS22:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits located in
the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2A). There are close connections between how the
counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare output
OC2A. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see
“Modes of Operation” on page 145.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM21:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
17.5 Output Compare Unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR2A). Whenever TCNT2 equals OCR2A, the comparator signals a match. A match will set
the Output Compare Flag (OCF2A) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE2A = 1), the
Output Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF2A Flag is automatically
cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF2A Flag can be cleared by software
by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Generator uses the match
signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by the WGM21:0 bits and Compare
Output mode (COM2A1:0) bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the Waveform
Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation
(“Modes of Operation” on page 145).

Figure 17-3. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR2A Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double
buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR2A Compare
Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR2A Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR2A Buffer Register, and if double buffering is
disabled the CPU will access the OCR2A directly.
17.5.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC2A) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the
OCF2A Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC2A pin will be updated as if a real compare
match had occurred (the COM2A1:0 bits settings define whether the OC2A pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
17.5.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT2 Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any compare match that occurs in the
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR2A to be initialized
to the same value as TCNT2 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is
enabled.
17.5.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the Output Compare unit,
independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT2
equals the OCR2A value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
counting down.

The setup of the OC2A should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC2A value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC2A) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC2A Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM2A1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM2A1:0 bits will take effect immediately.144

17.6 Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM2A1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator
uses the COM2A1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC2A) state at the next compare
match. Also, the COM2A1:0 bits control the OC2A pin output source. Figure 17-4 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COM2A1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits,
and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM2A1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OC2A state, the reference is for the internal OC2A Register, not the OC2A pin.
Figure 17-4. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2A) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COM2A1:0 bits are set. However, the OC2A pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC2A pin (DDR_OC2A) must be set as output before the OC2A value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC2A state before the
output is enabled. Note that some COM2A1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “Register Description” on page 153.
17.6.1 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM2A1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM2A1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OC2A Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in
the non-PWM modes refer to Table 17-3 on page 154. For fast PWM mode, refer to Table 17-4
on page 154, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 17-5 on page 154.

A change of the COM2A1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC2A strobe bits.
17.7 Modes of Operation
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins, is
defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM21:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM2A1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM2A1:0 bits control whether the PWM
output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM
modes the COM2A1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a
compare match (See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 144.).
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 149.
17.7.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM21:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom
(0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) will be set in the same
timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The TOV2 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth
bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV2 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written
anytime.
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
17.7.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM21:0 = 2), the OCR2A Register is used to
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter
value (TCNT2) matches the OCR2A. The OCR2A defines the top value for the counter, hence
also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 17-5. The counter value (TCNT2)
increases until a compare match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2A, and then counter
(TCNT2) is cleared.146
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
Figure 17-5. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the
OCF2A Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating
the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is
running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does
not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR2A is lower than the current
value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to
count to its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the compare match
can occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM2A1:0 = 1). The OC2A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC2A =
fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x00.
17.7.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 3) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its single-slope
operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to MAX then restarts from BOTTOM. In
non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2A) is cleared on the compare
match between TCNT2 and OCR2A, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode,
the output is set on compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation,
the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM
mode that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited
for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX value.
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast

PWM mode is shown in Figure 17-6. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare
matches between OCR2A and TCNT2.
Figure 17-6. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches MAX. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2A pin.
Setting the COM2A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM2A1:0 to three (See Table 17-4 on page 154). The actual
OC2A value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output.
The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC2A Register at the compare
match between OCR2A and TCNT2, and clearing (or setting) the OC2A Register at the timer
clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from MAX to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will
be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR2A equal to MAX will result
in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM2A1:0
bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC2A to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM2A1:0 = 1). The waveform
generated will have a maximum frequency of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero. This feature
is similar to the OC2A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output
Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.

17.7.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM
waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope operation.
The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX and then from MAX to BOTTOM. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2A) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT2 and OCR2A while counting up, and set on the compare match while counting
down. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation
has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase correct
PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches MAX. When the counter
reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The TCNT2 value will be equal to MAX for one
timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 17-7.
The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope
operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal
line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare matches between OCR2A and TCNT2.
Figure 17-7. Phase Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The
Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM
value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC2A pin. Setting the COM2A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM2A1:0 to three (See Table 17-5 on page 154).
The actual OC2A value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is
set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC2A Register at the
compare match between OCR2A and TCNT2 when the counter increments, and setting (or
clearing) the OC2A Register at compare match between OCR2A and TCNT2 when the counter

decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated
by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 17-7 OCn has a transition from high to low even though
there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry around BOTTOM.
There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.
• OCR2A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 17-7. When the OCR2A value is MAX the
OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting compare match. To ensure
symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result of an upcounting
Compare Match.
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the
way up.
17.8 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT2)
is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by
the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are
set. Figure 17-8 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the
count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

17.9 Asynchronous Operation of Timer/Counter2
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of
Timer/Counter2, the Timer Registers TCNT2, OCR2A, and TCCR2A might be corrupted. A
safe procedure for switching clock source is:
1. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2A and TOIE2.
2. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate.
3. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2A, and TCCR2A.
4. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2UB, OCR2UB, and TCR2UB.
5. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags.
6. Enable interrupts, if needed.
• The CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times the Oscillator frequency.
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2A, or TCCR2A, the value is transferred to
a temporary register, and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not
write a new value before the contents of the temporary register have been transferred to its
destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have their individual temporary register,
which means that e.g. writing to TCNT2 does not disturb an OCR2A write in progress. To
detect that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the Asynchronous Status
Register – ASSR has been implemented.
• When entering Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode after having written to TCNT2,
OCR2A, or TCCR2A, the user must wait until the written register has been updated if
Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will enter sleep mode
before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if the Output Compare2
interrupt is used to wake up the device, since the Output Compare function is disabled
during writing to OCR2A or TCNT2. If the write cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters
sleep mode before the OCR2UB bit returns to zero, the device will never receive a compare
match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up.
• If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction
mode, precautions must be taken if the user wants to re-enter one of these modes: The
interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time between wake-up and reentering
sleep mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not occur, and the
device will fail to wake up. If the user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering Powersave
or ADC Noise Reduction mode is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to
ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:
1. Write a value to TCCR2A, TCNT2, or OCR2A.
2. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.
3. Enter Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode.
• When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768kHz Oscillator for Timer/Counter2
is always running, except in Power-down and Standby modes. After a Power-up Reset or
wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this
Oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at
least one second before using Timer/Counter2 after power-up or wake-up from Power-down
or Standby mode. The contents of all Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost
after a wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon startup,
no matter whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin.
• Description of wake up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode when the timer is
clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up process is started
on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the timer is always advanced by at least one
before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four 152
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction
following SLEEP.
• Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an
incorrect result. Since TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading TCNT2
must be done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain.
Synchronization takes place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When waking up from Powersave
mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will read as the previous
value (before entering sleep) until the next rising TOSC1 edge. The phase of the TOSC
clock after waking up from Power-save mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on
the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:
1. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2A or TCCR2A.
2. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.
3. Read TCNT2.
During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the asynchronous
timer takes 3 processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore advanced by at least
one before the processor can read the timer value causing the setting of the Interrupt Flag. The
Output Compare pin is changed on the timer clock and is not synchronized to the processor
clock.
17.10 Timer/Counter Prescaler
Figure 17-12. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to the main
system I/O clock clkIO. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously
clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter
(RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from Port C. A crystal can
then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an independent clock
source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. If applying
an external clock on TOSC1, the EXCLK bit in ASSR must be set.

Setting the PSR2 bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a predictable
prescaler.
17.11 Register Description
17.11.1 TCCR2A – Timer/Counter Control Register A
• Bit 7 – FOC2A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC2A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode. However, for ensuring
compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2A is written when
operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2A bit, an immediate compare
match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2A output is changed according to its
COM2A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2A bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the
value present in the COM2A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using
OCR2A as TOP.
The FOC2A bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6, 3 – WGM21:0: Waveform Generation Mode
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum (TOP)
counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of operation supported
by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode, Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode, and
two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See Table 17-2 and “Modes of Operation”
on page 145.
Note: 1. The CTC2 and PWM2 bit definition names are now obsolete. Use the WGM21:0 definitions.
However, the functionality and location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of
the timer.
• Bit 5:4 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output Mode A
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0
bits are set, the OC2A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to OC2A pin must be
set in order to enable the output driver.

When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the
WGM21:0 bit setting. Table 17-3 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits
are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 17-4 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM
mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the compare
match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast PWM Mode” on
page 146 for more details.
Table 17-5 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to phase correct
PWM mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the compare

• Bit 2:0 – CS22:0: Clock Select
The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Table
17-6.
17.11.2 TCNT2 – Timer/Counter Register
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 Register blocks (removes) the compare
match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT2) while the counter is running,
introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT2 and the OCR2A Register.
17.11.3 OCR2A – Output Compare Register A
The Output Compare Register A contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC2A pin.
17.11.4 ASSR – Asynchronous Status Register
• Bit 4 – EXCLK: Enable External Clock Input
When EXCLK is written to one, and asynchronous clock is selected, the external clock input buffer
is enabled and an external clock can be input on Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin instead of a
32kHz crystal. Writing to EXCLK should be done before asynchronous operation is selected.
Note that the crystal Oscillator will only run when this bit is zero.

• Bit 3 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O. When AS2 is
written to one, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator
1 (TOSC1) pin. When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2A, and
TCCR2A might be corrupted.
• Bit 2 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 1 – OCR2UB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2A is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2UB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2A is ready to be updated with a new
value.
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is
set, the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2A, and TCCR2A are different. When reading
TCNT2, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2A or TCCR2A, the value in the temporary
storage register is read.
17.11.5 TIMSK2 – Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Mask Register
• Bit 1 – OCIE2A: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match A Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE2A bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match A interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed
if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, i.e., when the OCF2A bit is set in the Timer/Counter
2 Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR2.
• Bit 0 – TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable
When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if an
overflow in Timer/Counter2 occurs, i.e., when the TOV2 bit is set in the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt
Flag Register – TIFR2.

17.11.6 TIFR2 – Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flag Register
• Bit 1 – OCF2A: Output Compare Flag 2 A
The OCF2A bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2A – Output Compare Register2. OCF2A is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2A is cleared by writing a logic
one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2A (Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt
Enable), and OCF2A are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 0 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is cleared
by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2A (Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt
Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In
PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at 0x00.
17.11.7 GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 1 – PSR2: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared
immediately by hardware. If the bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in asynchronous
mode, the bit will remain one until the prescaler has been reset. The bit will not be cleared by
hardware if the TSM bit is set. Refer to the description of the “Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization

18. SPI – Serial Peripheral Interface
18.1 Features
The ATmega329/3290/649/6490 SPI includes the following features:
• Full-duplex, Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer
• Master or Slave Operation
• LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer
• Seven Programmable Bit Rates
• End of Transmission Interrupt Flag
• Write Collision Flag Protection
• Wake-up from Idle Mode
• Double Speed (CK/2) Master SPI Mode
18.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the
ATmega329/3290/649/6490 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices. A simplified
block diagram of the Serial Peripheral Interface is shown in Figure 18-1.
The PRSPI bit in “Power Reduction Register” on page 37 must be written to zero to enable the
SPI module.

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 18-2. The system
consists of two shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Master initiates the
communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the desired Slave. Master and
Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift Registers, and the Master generates
the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted from Master
to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the Master In
– Slave Out, MISO, line. After each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave by pulling
high the Slave Select, SS, line.
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This
must be handled by user software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a
byte to the SPI Data Register starts the SPI clock generator, and the hardware shifts the eight
bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting the end of
Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR Register is set, an
interrupt is requested. The Master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or
signal the end of packet by pulling high the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be
kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long
as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI Data
Register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin
until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of Transmission
Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt
is requested. The Slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading
the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
Figure 18-2. SPI Master-slave Interconnection
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction.
This means that bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data Register before
the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, however, a received character must be
read from the SPI Data Register before the next character has been completely shifted in. Otherwise,
the first byte is lost.
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure
correct sampling of the clock signal, the minimum low and high period should be:
Low period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles.
High period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles.

When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden
according to Table 18-1. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to “Alternate Port
Functions” on page 65.

The following code examples show how to initialize the SPI as a Master and how to perform a
simple transmission. DDR_SPI in the examples must be replaced by the actual Data Direction
Register controlling the SPI pins. DD_MOSI, DD_MISO and DD_SCK must be replaced by the
actual data direction bits for these pins. E.g. if MOSI is placed on pin PB5, replace DD_MOSI
with DDB5 and DDR_SPI with DDRB.

19.7.3 Receive Compete Flag and Interrupt
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the Receiver state.
The Receive Complete (RXCn) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer.
This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive
buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXENn = 0),
the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXCn bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIEn) in UCSRnB is set, the USART Receive
Complete interrupt will be executed as long as the RXCn Flag is set (provided that global interrupts
are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete routine
must read the received data from UDRn in order to clear the RXCn Flag, otherwise a new interrupt
will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
19.7.4 Receiver Error Flags
The USART Receiver has three Error Flags: Frame Error (FEn), Data OverRun (DORn) and
Parity Error (UPEn). All can be accessed by reading UCSRnA. Common for the Error Flags is
that they are located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they indicate the
error status. Due to the buffering of the Error Flags, the UCSRnA must be read before the
receive buffer (UDRn), since reading the UDRn I/O location changes the buffer read location.
Another equality for the Error Flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to
the flag location. However, all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRnA is written for upward
compatibility of future USART implementations. None of the Error Flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FEn) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame
stored in the receive buffer. The FEn Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one),
and the FEn Flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for
detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling. The FEn
Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBSn bit in UCSRnC since the Receiver ignores all,
except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero
when writing to UCSRnA.
The Data OverRun (DORn) Flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. A
Data OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting
in the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DORn Flag is set there
was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from UDRn, and the next frame
read from UDRn. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing
to UCSRnA. The DORn Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from
the Shift Register to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received. If Parity Check is not enabled the UPEn bit will always be read zero. For
compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRnA. For more
details see “Parity Bit Calculation” on page 173 and “Parity Checker” on page 180.
19.7.5 Parity Checker
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPMn1) bit is set. Type of Parity
Check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPMn0 bit. When enabled, the Parity
Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with
the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is stored in the receive buffer together
with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag can then be read by software
to check if the frame had a Parity Error.181
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
The UPEn bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received and the Parity Checking was enabled at that point (UPMn1 = 1). This bit is
valid until the receive buffer (UDRn) is read.
19.7.6 Disabling the Receiver
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing
receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (i.e., the RXENn is set to zero) the Receiver will
no longer override the normal function of the RxD port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be
flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer will be lost
19.7.7 Flushing the Receive Buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer will be
emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal
operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDRn I/O location until the RXCn Flag
is cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 9.
19.8 Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data
reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate
clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin. The data recovery logic samples
and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the
Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal
baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
19.8.1 Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 19-5
illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times
the baud rate for Normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double Speed mode. The horizontal
arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process. Note the
larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode (U2Xn = 1) of operation. Samples
denoted zero are samples done when the RxD line is idle (i.e., no communication activity).

while ( UCSR0A & (1< 470 nF) must be connected to the LCDCAP pin as shown in Figure
23-2. This capacitor acts as a reservoir for LCD power (VLCD). A large capacitance reduces
ripple on VLCD but increases the time until VLCD reaches its target value.
Figure 23-2. LCDCAP Connection
23.1.8 LCD Buffer Driver
Intermediate voltage levels are generated from buffers/drivers. The buffers are active the
amount of time specified by LCDDC[2:0] in LCDCCR. Then LCD output pins are tri-stated and
buffers are switched off. Shortening the drive time will reduce power consumption, but displays
with high internal resistance or capacitance may need longer drive time to achieve sufficient
contrast.
23.1.9 Display requirements
When using more than one common pin, the maximum period the LCD drivers can be turned on
for each voltage transition on the LCD pins is 50% of the prescaled LCD clock period, clkLCD_PS.
To avoid flickering, it is recommended to keep the framerate above 30Hz, thus giving a maximum
drive time of approximately 2ms when using 1/2 or 1/4 duty, and approximately 2.7ms

2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
when using 1/3 duty. To achieve satisfactory contrast, all segments on the LCD display must
therefore be able to be fully charged/discharged within 2 or 2.7ms, depending on the number of
common pins.
23.1.10 Minimizing power consumption
By keeping the percentage of the time the LCD drivers are turned on at a minimum, the power
consumption of the LCD driver can be minimized. This can be achieved by using the lowest
acceptable frame rate, and using low power waveform if possible. The drive time should be kept
at the lowest setting that achieves satisfactory contrast for a particular display, while allowing
some headroom for production variations between individual LCD drivers and displays. Note
that some of the highest LCD voltage settings may result in high power consumption when VCC
is below 2.0V. The recommended maximum LCD voltage is 2*(VCC - 0.2V).
23.2 Mode of Operation
23.2.1 Static Duty and Bias
If all segments on a LCD have one electrode common, then each segment must have a unique
terminal.
This kind of display is driven with the waveform shown in Figure 23-3. SEG0 - COM0 is the voltage
across a segment that is on, and SEG1 - COM0 is the voltage across a segment that is off.
Figure 23-3. Driving a LCD with One Common Terminal
23.2.2 1/2 Duty and 1/2 Bias
For LCD with two common terminals (1/2 duty) a more complex waveform must be used to individually
control segments. Although 1/3 bias can be selected 1/2 bias is most common for these
displays. Waveform is shown in Figure 23-4. SEG0 - COM0 is the voltage across a segment that
is on, and SEG0 - COM1 is the voltage across a segment that is off.

the voltage across a segment that is off.

23.2.5 Low Power Waveform
To reduce toggle activity and hence power consumption a low power waveform can be selected
by writing LCDAB to one. Low power waveform requires two subsequent frames with the same
display data to obtain zero DC voltage. Consequently data latching and Interrupt Flag is only set

1/3 bias. For other selections of duty and bias, the effect is similar.

23.2.6 Operation in Sleep Mode
When synchronous LCD clock is selected (LCDCS = 0) the LCD display will operate in Idle
mode and Power-save mode with any clock source.
An asynchronous clock from TOSC1 can be selected as LCD clock by writing the LCDCS bit to
one when Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator is selected as system clock source. The LCD will
then operate in Idle mode, ADC Noise Reduction mode and Power-save mode.

When EXCLK in ASSR Register is written to one, and asynchronous clock is selected, the external
clock input buffer is enabled and an external clock can be input on Timer Oscillator 1
(TOSC1) pin instead of a 32kHz crystal. See “Asynchronous Operation of Timer/Counter2” on
page 151 for further details.
Before entering Power-down mode, Standby mode or ADC Noise Reduction mode with synchronous
LCD clock selected, the user have to disable the LCD. Refer to “Disabling the LCD” on
page 237.
23.2.7 Display Blanking
When LCDBL is written to one, the LCD is blanked after completing the current frame. All segments
and common pins are connected to GND, discharging the LCD. Display memory is
preserved. Display blanking should be used before disabling the LCD to avoid DC voltage
across segments, and a slowly fading image.
23.2.8 Port Mask
For LCD with less than 25/40 segment terminals, it is possible to mask some of the unused pins
and use them as ordinary port pins instead. Refer to Table 23-3 for details. Unused common
pins are automatically configured as port pins.235

23.3 LCD Usage
The following section describes how to use the LCD.
23.3.1 LCD Initialization
Prior to enabling the LCD some initialization must be preformed. The initialization process
normally consists of setting the frame rate, duty, bias and port mask. LCD contrast
is set initially, but can also be adjusted during operation.
Consider the following LCD as an example:

27.7.2 Serial Programming Algorithm
When writing serial data to the ATmega329/3290/649/6490, data is clocked on the rising edge of
SCK.
When reading data from the ATmega329/3290/649/6490, data is clocked on the falling edge of
SCK. See Figure 27-11 for timing details.
To program and verify the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 in the serial programming mode, the following
sequence is recommended (See four byte instruction formats in Table 27-15):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems,
the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third
byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all four
bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a
positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The page size is found in Table 27-10 on
page 298. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 6/7 LSB of the
address and data together with the Load Program Memory Page instruction. To ensure
correct loading of the page, the data low byte must be loaded before data high byte is
applied for a given address. The Program Memory Page is stored by loading the Write
Program Memory Page instruction with the 8 MSB of the address. If polling is not used,
the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 27-14.)
Accessing the serial programming interface before the Flash write operation completes
can result in incorrect programming.
5. A: The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and
data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first
automatically erased before new data is written. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the
user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (See Table 27-14.) In a
chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
B: The EEPROM array is programmed one page at a time. The Memory page is loaded
one byte at a time by supplying the 2 LSB of the address and data together with the Load
EEPROM Memory Page instruction. The EEPROM Memory Page is stored by loading
the Write EEPROM Memory Page Instruction with the 4 MSB of the address. When using
EEPROM page access only byte locations loaded with the Load EEPROM Memory Page
instruction is altered. The remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling (RDY/BSY) is
not used, the used must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next page (See Table
27-11). In a chip erased device, no 0xFF in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the content
at the selected address at serial output MISO.
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation.310
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off.

27.8 Programming via the JTAG Interface
Programming through the JTAG interface requires control of the four JTAG specific pins: TCK,
TMS, TDI, and TDO. Control of the reset and clock pins is not required.
To be able to use the JTAG interface, the JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed. The device is
default shipped with the fuse programmed. In addition, the JTD bit in MCUCSR must be cleared.
Alternatively, if the JTD bit is set, the external reset can be forced low. Then, the JTD bit will be
cleared after two chip clocks, and the JTAG pins are available for programming. This provides a
means of using the JTAG pins as normal port pins in Running mode while still allowing In-System
Programming via the JTAG interface. Note that this technique can not be used when using
the JTAG pins for Boundary-scan or On-chip Debug. In these cases the JTAG pins must be dedicated
for this purpose.
During programming the clock frequency of the TCK Input must be less than the maximum frequency
of the chip. The System Clock Prescaler can not be used to divide the TCK Clock Input
into a sufficiently low frequency.
As a definition in this data sheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first of all Shift Registers.
27.8.1 Programming Specific JTAG Instructions
The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. The JTAG instructions
useful for programming are listed below.
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format. The text
describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for each instruction.
The Run-Test/Idle state of the TAP controller is used to generate internal clocks. It can also be
used as an idle state between JTAG sequences. The state machine sequence for changing the
instruction word is shown in Figure 27-13.314
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
Figure 27-13. State Machine Sequence for Changing the Instruction Word
27.8.2 AVR_RESET (0xC)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for setting the AVR device in the Reset mode or taking
the device out from the Reset mode. The TAP controller is not reset by this instruction. The one
bit Reset Register is selected as Data Register. Note that the reset will be active as long as there
is a logic “one” in the Reset Chain. The output from this chain is not latched.
The active states are:
• Shift-DR: The Reset Register is shifted by the TCK input.
27.8.3 PROG_ENABLE (0x4)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for enabling programming via the JTAG port. The 16-
bit Programming Enable Register is selected as Data Register. The active states are the
following:
• Shift-DR: The programming enable signature is shifted into the Data Register.
• Update-DR: The programming enable signature is compared to the correct value, and
Programming mode is entered if the signature is valid.

27.8.4 PROG_COMMANDS (0x5)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for entering programming commands via the JTAG
port. The 15-bit Programming Command Register is selected as Data Register. The active
states are the following:
• Capture-DR: The result of the previous command is loaded into the Data Register.
• Shift-DR: The Data Register is shifted by the TCK input, shifting out the result of the
previous command and shifting in the new command.
• Update-DR: The programming command is applied to the Flash inputs
• Run-Test/Idle: One clock cycle is generated, executing the applied command (not always
required, see Table 27-16 below).
27.8.5 PROG_PAGELOAD (0x6)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to directly load the Flash data page via the JTAG port.
An 8-bit Flash Data Byte Register is selected as the Data Register. This is physically the 8 LSBs
of the Programming Command Register. The active states are the following:
• Shift-DR: The Flash Data Byte Register is shifted by the TCK input.
• Update-DR: The content of the Flash Data Byte Register is copied into a temporary register.
A write sequence is initiated that within 11 TCK cycles loads the content of the temporary
register into the Flash page buffer. The AVR automatically alternates between writing the low
and the high byte for each new Update-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first
Update-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGELOAD command. The Program
Counter is pre-incremented before writing the low byte, except for the first written byte. This
ensures that the first data is written to the address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and
loading the last location in the page buffer does not make the program counter increment
into the next page.
27.8.6 PROG_PAGEREAD (0x7)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to directly capture the Flash content via the JTAG port.
An 8-bit Flash Data Byte Register is selected as the Data Register. This is physically the 8 LSBs
of the Programming Command Register. The active states are the following:
• Capture-DR: The content of the selected Flash byte is captured into the Flash Data Byte
Register. The AVR automatically alternates between reading the low and the high byte for
each new Capture-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first Capture-DR encountered
after entering the PROG_PAGEREAD command. The Program Counter is post-incremented
after reading each high byte, including the first read byte. This ensures that the first data is
captured from the first address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and reading the last location
in the page makes the program counter increment into the next page.
• Shift-DR: The Flash Data Byte Register is shifted by the TCK input.
27.8.7 Data Registers
The Data Registers are selected by the JTAG instruction registers described in section “Programming
Specific JTAG Instructions” on page 313. The Data Registers relevant for
programming operations are:
• Reset Register
• Programming Enable Register
• Programming Command Register
• Flash Data Byte Register316
2552K–AVR–04/11
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
27.8.8 Reset Register
The Reset Register is a Test Data Register used to reset the part during programming. It is
required to reset the part before entering Programming mode.
A high value in the Reset Register corresponds to pulling the external reset low. The part is reset
as long as there is a high value present in the Reset Register. Depending on the Fuse settings
for the clock options, the part will remain reset for a Reset Time-out period (refer to “Clock
Sources” on page 27) after releasing the Reset Register. The output from this Data Register is
not latched, so the reset will take place immediately, as shown in Figure 25-2 on page 253.
27.8.9 Programming Enable Register
The Programming Enable Register is a 16-bit register. The contents of this register is compared
to the programming enable signature, binary code 0b1010_0011_0111_0000. When the contents
of the register is equal to the programming enable signature, programming via the JTAG
port is enabled. The register is reset to 0 on Power-on Reset, and should always be reset when
leaving Programming mode.
Figure 27-14. Programming Enable Register
27.8.10 Programming Command Register
The Programming Command Register is a 15-bit register. This register is used to serially shift in
programming commands, and to serially shift out the result of the previous command, if any. The
JTAG Programming Instruction Set is shown in Table 27-16. The state sequence when shifting
in the programming commands is illustrated in Figure 27-16.

Figure 27-16. State Machine Sequence for Changing/Reading the Data Word
27.8.11 Flash Data Byte Register
The Flash Data Byte Register provides an efficient way to load the entire Flash page buffer
before executing Page Write, or to read out/verify the content of the Flash. A state machine sets
up the control signals to the Flash and senses the strobe signals from the Flash, thus only the
data words need to be shifted in/out.
The Flash Data Byte Register actually consists of the 8-bit scan chain and a 8-bit temporary register.
During page load, the Update-DR state copies the content of the scan chain over to the
temporary register and initiates a write sequence that within 11 TCK cycles loads the content of
the temporary register into the Flash page buffer. The AVR automatically alternates between
writing the low and the high byte for each new Update-DR state, starting with the low byte for the
first Update-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGELOAD command. The Program
Counter is pre-incremented before writing the low byte, except for the first written byte. This
ensures that the first data is written to the address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and loading
the last location in the page buffer does not make the Program Counter increment into the next
page.
During Page Read, the content of the selected Flash byte is captured into the Flash Data Byte
Register during the Capture-DR state. The AVR automatically alternates between reading the
low and the high byte for each new Capture-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first CapTest-Logic-Reset

ture-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGEREAD command. The Program Counter is
post-incremented after reading each high byte, including the first read byte. This ensures that
the first data is captured from the first address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and reading the
last location in the page makes the program counter increment into the next page.
Figure 27-17. Flash Data Byte Register
The state machine controlling the Flash Data Byte Register is clocked by TCK. During normal
operation in which eight bits are shifted for each Flash byte, the clock cycles needed to navigate
through the TAP controller automatically feeds the state machine for the Flash Data Byte Register
with sufficient number of clock pulses to complete its operation transparently for the user.
However, if too few bits are shifted between each Update-DR state during page load, the TAP
controller should stay in the Run-Test/Idle state for some TCK cycles to ensure that there are at
least 11 TCK cycles between each Update-DR state.

Notes: 1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOT (falling)
Notes: 1. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where this is the case, the device is
tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees that a Brown-Out Reset will occur before VCC drops to
a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is performed using
BODLEVEL = 10 for ATmega329/3290/649/6490V and BODLEVEL = 01 for ATmega329/3290/649/6490L.

29. Typical Characteristics
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock
source.
All Active- and Idle current consumption measurements are done with all bits in the PRR register
set and thus, the corresponding I/O modules are turned off. Also the Analog Comparator is disabled
during these measurements. See “Power Reduction Register” on page 37 for details.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating
frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature.
The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where
CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
are controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See “Power Reduction Register” on page 37 for
details.
It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 29-2
for other VCC and frequency settings than listed in Table 29-1.

29.0.3.1 Example
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and SPI
enabled at VCC = 3.0V and F = 1MHz. Table 29-2 shows that we need to add 8.5% for the
USART0, 9% for the SPI, and 4.8% for the TIMER1 module. From Figure 29-6, we find that the
idle current consumption is ~0.16mA at VCC = 3.0V and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption
in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and SPI enabled, gives:

Note: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When addressing I/O
Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The
ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64
location reserved in Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM, only
the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

34.1 ATmega329
34.1.1 ATmega329 rev. C
• Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
1. Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
The interrupt will be lost if a timer register that is synchronous timer clock is written when the
asynchronous Timer/Counter register (TCNTx) is 0x00.
Problem Fix/Wortkaround
Always check that the asynchronous Timer/Counter register neither have the value 0xFF nor
0x00 before writing to the asynchronous Timer Control Register (TCCRx), asynchronous
Timer Counter Register (TCNTx), or asynchronous Output Compare Register (OCRx).
34.1.2 ATmega329 rev. B
Not sampled.
34.1.3 ATmega329 rev. A
• LCD contrast voltage too high
• Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
1. LCD contrast voltage too high
When the LCD is active and using low power waveform, the LCD contrast voltage can be too
high. This occurs when VCC is higher than VLCD, and when using low LCD drivetime.
Problem Fix/Workaround
There are several possible workarounds:
- Use normal waveform instead of low power waveform
- Use drivetime of 375 µs or longer
2. Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
The interrupt will be lost if a timer register that is synchronous timer clock is written when the
asynchronous Timer/Counter register (TCNTx) is 0x00.
Problem Fix/Wortkaround
Always check that the asynchronous Timer/Counter register neither have the value 0xFF nor
0x00 before writing to the asynchronous Timer Control Register (TCCRx), asynchronous
Timer Counter Register (TCNTx), or asynchronous Output Compare Register (OCRx).380

1.1.3 Port A (PA2..PA0)
Port A is a 3-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port A output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability, except PA2 which has the RESET capability. To use pin PA2 as I/O pin, instead of
RESET pin, program (“0”) RSTDISBL fuse. As inputs, Port A pins that are externally pulled low
will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Port A also serves the functions of various special features of the ATtiny2313A/4313 as listed on
page 62.
1.1.4 Port B (PB7..PB0)
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the ATtiny2313A/4313 as listed on
page 63.
1.1.5 Port D (PD6..PD0)
Port D is a 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port D output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the ATtiny2313A/4313 as listed on
page 67.
1.1.6 RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a
reset, even if the clock is not running and provided that the reset pin has not been disabled. The
minimum pulse length is given in Table 22-3 on page 201. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a reset. The Reset Input is an alternate function for PA2 and dW.
The reset pin can also be used as a (weak) I/O pin.

ATtiny2313A/4313
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the
32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional
CISC microcontrollers.
The ATtiny2313A/4313 provides the following features: 2/4K bytes of In-System Programmable
Flash, 128/256 bytes EEPROM, 128/256 bytes SRAM, 18 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general
purpose working registers, a single-wire Interface for On-chip Debugging, two flexible
Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable
USART, Universal Serial Interface with Start Condition Detector, a programmable Watchdog
Timer with internal Oscillator, and three software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, and interrupt system to continue functioning.
The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling
all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator
Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast
start-up combined with low-power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The
On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI
serial interface, or by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer. By combining an 8-bit
RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel
ATtiny2313A/4313 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective
solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATtiny2313A/4313 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators, In-Circuit Emulators,
and Evaluation kits.

3. About
3.1 Resources
A comprehensive set of drivers, application notes, data sheets and descriptions on development
tools are available for download at http://www.atmel.com/avr.
3.2 Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of
the device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before
compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files
and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.
For I/O Registers located in the extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI”
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically, this
means “LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”. Note that not all
AVR devices include an extended I/O map.
3.3 Data Retention
Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less
than 1 PPM over 20 years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.8

4. CPU Core
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core
is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories,
perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
4.1 Architectural Overview
Figure 4-1. Block Diagram of the AVR Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.

8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers
can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to
directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format.
Every program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data Space
locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F.
4.2 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose
working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose
registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations of the
architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication
and fractional format. See the “Instruction Set” section for a detailed description.
4.3 Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as
specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the
dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored
when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.10
8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt
enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable
Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt
enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by
the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by
the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination
for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry Is useful
in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction
Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set
Description” for detailed information.

4.4 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve
the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 4-2 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 4-2. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and
most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 4-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the file.
4.4.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3. The X-, Y-, and Z-registers
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
4.5 Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack
with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto
the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is
popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The Stack Pointer is implemented as one 8-bit register in the I/O space.
4.6 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR
CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the
chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 4-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination
register.

4.7 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are
assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt
Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 48. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the
priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request
0. Refer to “Interrupts” on page 48 for more information.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
interrupt flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding interrupt
flag. Interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be

cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared,
the interrupt flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared
by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt Enable
bit is cleared, the corresponding interrupt flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global
Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have interrupt flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence..
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed
before any pending interrupts, as shown in this example.

sbi EECR, EEMPE ; start EEPROM write

cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */

... ... ... ...
9.2 External Interrupts
External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0 or INT1 pin or any of the PCINT17..0 pins. Observe
that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0, INT1 or PCINT17..0 pins are configured
as outputs. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. Pin change 0
interrupts PCI0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT7..0 pin toggles. Pin change 1 interrupts PCI1
will trigger if any enabled PCINT10..8 pin toggles. Pin change 2 interrupts PCI2 will trigger, if any
enabled PCINT17..11 pin toggles. The PCMSK0, PCMSK1, and PCMSK2 Registers control
which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT17..0 are
detected asynchronously, which means that these interrupts can be used for waking the part
also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.
The INT0 and INT1 interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is
set up as shown in “MCUCR – MCU Control Register” on page 51. When the INT0 or INT1 interrupt
is enabled and configured as level triggered, the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is
held low. Note that recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 or INT1 requires the
presence of an I/O clock, as described in “Clock Sources” on page 27.50
8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
9.2.1 Low Level Interrupt
A low level interrupt on INT0 or INT1 is detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt
source can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is
halted in all sleep modes except Idle).
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level
must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If
the level disappears before the end of the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt
will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the SUT and CKSEL fuses, as described
in “Clock System” on page 26.
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program
execution will not be diverted to the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following
the SLEEP command.

9.3 Register Description
9.3.1 MCUCR – MCU Control Register
The External Interrupt Control Register contains control bits for interrupt sense control.
• Bit 3, 2 – ISC11, ISC10: Interrupt Sense Control 1 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The External Interrupt 1 is activated by the external pin INT1 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding
interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT1 pin that activate the
interrupt are defined in Table 9-2. The value on the INT1 pin is sampled before detecting edges.
If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will generate
an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is
selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to
generate an interrupt
• Bits 1, 0 – ISC01, ISC00: Interrupt Sense Control 0 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The External Interrupt 0 is activated by the external pin INT0 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding
interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the
interrupt are defined in Table 9-3. The value on the INT0 pin is sampled before detecting edges.
If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will generate
an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is
selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to
generate an interrupt.

These bits are reserved and will always read as zero.
• Bit 7 – INT1: External Interrupt Request 1 Enable
When the INT1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external
pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control bits (ISC11 and ISC10) in the External
Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA) define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising
and/or falling edge of the INT1 pin or level sensed. Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt
request even if INT1 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt
Request 1 is executed from the INT1 Interrupt Vector.
• Bit 6 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable
When the INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external
pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control bits (ISC01 and ISC00) in the External
Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA) define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising
and/or falling edge of the INT0 pin or level sensed. Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt
request even if INT0 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt
Request 0 is executed from the INT0 Interrupt Vector.
• Bit 5 – PCIE0: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 0
When the PCIE0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin
change interrupt 0 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT7..0 pin will cause an interrupt.

Vector. PCINT7..0 pins are enabled individually by the PCMSK0 Register.
• Bit 4 – PCIE2: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 2
When the PCIE2 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin
change interrupt 2 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT17..11 pin will cause an interrupt.
The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed from the PCI2
Interrupt Vector. PCINT17..11 pins are enabled individually by the PCMSK2 Register.
• Bit 3 – PCIE1: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 1
When the PCIE1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin
change interrupt 1 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT10..8 pin will cause an interrupt.

10. I/O-Ports
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports.
This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing
the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing
drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as
input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually
selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have
protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as indicated in Figure 10-1 on page 55. See “Electrical
Characteristics” on page 198 for a complete list of parameters.
Figure 10-1. I/O Pin Equivalent Schematic
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents
the numbering letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However,
when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example,
PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers
and bit locations are listed in “Register Description” on page 69.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register
– PORTx, Data Direction Register – DDRx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The Port Input Pins
I/O location is read only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.
However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx Register, will result in a toggle in the corresponding
bit in the Data Register. In addition, the Pull-up Disable – PUD bit in MCUCR disables the
pull-up function for all pins in all ports when set.
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page
56. Most port pins are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral features on the
device. How each alternate function interferes with the port pin is described in “Alternate Port
Functions” on page 60. Refer to the individual module sections for a full description of the alternate
functions.
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the
other pins in the port as general digital I/O.

10.1 Ports as General Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 10-2 shows a functional
description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.
Figure 10-2. General Digital I/O(1)
Note: 1. WRx, WPx, WDx, RRx, RPx, and RDx are common to all pins within the same port. clkI/O,
SLEEP, and PUD are common to all ports.
10.1.1 Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register
Description” on page 69, the DDxn bits are accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits
at the PORTx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one,
Pxn is configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input
pin.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an input pin, the pull-up resistor is
activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PORTxn has to be written logic zero or the pin has to
be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when reset condition becomes active,
even if no clocks are running.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven
high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port
pin is driven low (zero).

10.1.2 Toggling the Pin
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn.
Note that the SBI instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
10.1.3 Switching Between Input and Output
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output
low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) must occur. Normally, the pull-up enabled state is fully acceptable,
as a high-impedant environment will not notice the difference between a strong high driver
and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR Register can be set to disable all
pull-ups in all ports.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user
must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b10) as an intermediate step.
Table 10-1 summarizes the control signals for the pin value.
10.1.4 Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the
PINxn Register bit. As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 56, the PINxn Register bit and the preceding
latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin
changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. Figure 10-3
shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin value.
The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch
is closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the
shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock
goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at the succeeding positive clock edge. As indicated
by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition on the pin will be delayed
between ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated
in Figure 10-4 on page 58. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the
positive edge of the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system
clock period.
Figure 10-4. Synchronization when Reading a Software Assigned Pin Value
10.1.5 Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 56, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the
input of the schmitt-trigger. The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep
Controller in Power-down and Standby modes to avoid high power consumption if some input
signals are left floating, or have an analog signal level close to VCC/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as external interrupt pins. If the external interrupt
request is not enabled, SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also overridden by various
other alternate functions as described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 60.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as
“Interrupt on Rising Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interrupt
is not enabled, the corresponding External Interrupt Flag will be set when resuming from the
above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested
logic change.
10.1.6 Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even
though most of the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating
inputs should be avoided to reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital
inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up.
In this case, the pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is

important, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or pulldown. Connecting unused pins
directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this may cause excessive currents if the pin is
accidentally configured as an output.
10.1.7 Program Examples
The following code example shows how to set port A pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define
the port pins from 4 to 7 as input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 4. The resulting pin values
are read back again, but as previously discussed, a nop instruction is included to be able to read
back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.
Note: Two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1 and 4,
until the direction bits are correctly set, defining bit 2 and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as
strong high drivers.
Note: 1. See “Code Examples” on page 7.

ldi r16,(1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock
cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system
clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
13.3 External Clock Source
An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock
(clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization
logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 13-1
shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization and edge detector
logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch
is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative
(CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.
Figure 13-1. T1/T0 Pin Sampling
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the T1/T0 pin to the counter is updated.

Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least
one system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system
clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses
sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency
(Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency
and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is
recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny2313A/4313 and will always read as zero.

When this bit is one, Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 prescaler will be Reset. This bit is normally
cleared immediately by hardware. Note that Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 share
the same prescaler and a reset of this prescaler will affect both timers.

The dashed boxes in the block diagram separate the three main parts of the USART (listed from
the top): Clock Generator, Transmitter and Receiver. Control registers are shared by all units.
The Clock Generation logic consists of synchronization logic for external clock input used by
synchronous slave operation, and the baud rate generator. The XCK (Transfer Clock) pin is only
used by synchronous transfer mode. The Transmitter consists of a single write buffer, a serial
Shift Register, Parity Generator and Control logic for handling different serial frame formats. The
write buffer allows a continuous transfer of data without any delay between frames. The
Receiver is the most complex part of the USART module due to its clock and data recovery
units. The recovery units are used for asynchronous data reception. In addition to the recovery
units, the Receiver includes a Parity Checker, Control logic, a Shift Register and a two level
receive buffer (UDR). The Receiver supports the same frame formats as the Transmitter, and
can detect Frame Error, Data OverRun and Parity Errors.
14.2.1 AVR USART vs. AVR UART – Compatibility
The USART is fully compatible with the AVR UART regarding:
• Bit locations inside all USART Registers.
• Baud Rate Generation.
• Transmitter Operation.
• Transmit Buffer Functionality.
• Receiver Operation.
However, the receive buffering has two improvements that will affect the compatibility in some
special cases:
• A second Buffer Register has been added. The two Buffer Registers operate as a circular
FIFO buffer. Therefore the UDR must only be read once for each incoming data! More
important is the fact that the error flags (FE and DOR) and the ninth data bit (RXB8) are
buffered with the data in the receive buffer. Therefore the status bits must always be read
before the UDR Register is read. Otherwise the error status will be lost since the buffer state
is lost.
• The Receiver Shift Register can now act as a third buffer level. This is done by allowing the
received data to remain in the serial Shift Register (see Figure 14-1) if the Buffer Registers
are full, until a new start bit is detected. The USART is therefore more resistant to Data
OverRun (DOR) error conditions.
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register location:
• CHR9 is changed to UCSZ2.
• OR is changed to DOR.
14.3 Clock Generation
The Clock Generation logic generates the base clock for the Transmitter and Receiver. The
USART supports four modes of clock operation: Normal asynchronous, Double Speed asynchronous,
Master synchronous and Slave synchronous mode. The UMSEL bit in USART
Control and Status Register C (UCSRC) selects between asynchronous and synchronous operation.
Double Speed (asynchronous mode only) is controlled by the U2X found in the UCSRA
Register. When using synchronous mode (UMSEL = 1), the Data Direction Register for the XCK122
8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
pin (DDR_XCK) controls whether the clock source is internal (Master mode) or external (Slave
mode). The XCK pin is only active when using synchronous mode.
Figure 14-2 shows a block diagram of the clock generation logic.

14.3.1 Internal Clock Generation – The Baud Rate Generator
Internal clock generation is used for the asynchronous and the synchronous master modes of
operation. The description in this section refers to Figure 14-2.
The USART Baud Rate Register (UBRR) and the down-counter connected to it function as a
programmable prescaler or baud rate generator. The down-counter, running at system clock
(fosc), is loaded with the UBRR value each time the counter has counted down to zero or when
the UBRRL Register is written. A clock is generated each time the counter reaches zero. This
clock is the baud rate generator clock output (= fosc/(UBRR+1)). The Transmitter divides the
baud rate generator clock output by 2, 8 or 16 depending on mode. The baud rate generator output
is used directly by the Receiver’s clock and data recovery units. However, the recovery units
use a state machine that uses 2, 8 or 16 states depending on mode set by the state of the
UMSEL, U2X and DDR_XCK bits.
Table 14-1 contains equations for calculating the baud rate (in bits per second) and for calculating
the UBRR value for each mode of operation using an internally generated clock source.

Some examples of UBRR values for some system clock frequencies are found in Table 14-9
(see page 142).
14.3.2 Double Speed Operation (U2X)
The transfer rate can be doubled by setting the U2X bit in UCSRA. Setting this bit only has effect
for the asynchronous operation. Set this bit to zero when using synchronous operation.
Setting this bit will reduce the divisor of the baud rate divider from 16 to 8, effectively doubling
the transfer rate for asynchronous communication. Note however that the Receiver will in this
case only use half the number of samples (reduced from 16 to 8) for data sampling and clock
recovery, and therefore a more accurate baud rate setting and system clock are required when
this mode is used. For the Transmitter, there are no downsides.
14.3.3 External Clock
External clocking is used by the synchronous slave modes of operation. The description in this
section refers to Figure 14-2 for details.
External clock input from the XCK pin is sampled by a synchronization register to minimize the
chance of meta-stability. The output from the synchronization register must then pass through
an edge detector before it can be used by the Transmitter and Receiver. This process introduces
a two CPU clock period delay and therefore the maximum external XCK clock frequency
is limited by the following equation:
Note that fosc depends on the stability of the system clock source. It is therefore recommended to
add some margin to avoid possible loss of data due to frequency variations.

14.3.4 Synchronous Clock Operation
When synchronous mode is used (UMSEL = 1), the XCK pin will be used as either clock input
(Slave) or clock output (Master). The dependency between the clock edges and data sampling
or data change is the same. The basic principle is that data input (on RxD) is sampled at the
opposite XCK clock edge of the edge the data output (TxD) is changed.
Figure 14-3. Synchronous Mode XCK Timing.
The UCPOL bit UCRSC selects which XCK clock edge is used for data sampling and which is
used for data change. As Figure 14-3 shows, when UCPOL is zero the data will be changed at
rising XCK edge and sampled at falling XCK edge. If UCPOL is set, the data will be changed at
falling XCK edge and sampled at rising XCK edge.
14.4 Frame Formats
A serial frame is defined to be one character of data bits with synchronization bits (start and stop
bits), and optionally a parity bit for error checking. The USART accepts all 30 combinations of
the following as valid frame formats:
• 1 start bit
• 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 data bits
• no, even or odd parity bit
• 1 or 2 stop bits
A frame starts with the start bit followed by the least significant data bit. Then the next data bits,
up to a total of nine, are succeeding, ending with the most significant bit. If enabled, the parity bit
is inserted after the data bits, before the stop bits. When a complete frame is transmitted, it can
be directly followed by a new frame, or the communication line can be set to an idle (high) state.
Figure 14-4 illustrates the possible combinations of the frame formats. Bits inside brackets are
optional.

(n) Data bits (0 to 8).
P Parity bit. Can be odd or even.
Sp Stop bit, always high.
IDLE No transfers on the communication line (RxD or TxD). An IDLE line must
be high.
The frame format used by the USART is set by the UCSZ2:0, UPM1:0 and USBS bits in UCSRB
and UCSRC. The Receiver and Transmitter use the same setting. Note that changing the setting
of any of these bits will corrupt all ongoing communication for both the Receiver and Transmitter.
The USART Character SiZe (UCSZ2:0) bits select the number of data bits in the frame. The
USART Parity mode (UPM1:0) bits enable and set the type of parity bit. The selection between
one or two stop bits is done by the USART Stop Bit Select (USBS) bit. The Receiver ignores the
second stop bit. An FE (Frame Error) will therefore only be detected in the cases where the first
stop bit is zero.
14.4.1 Parity Bit Calculation
The parity bit is calculated by doing an exclusive-or of all the data bits. If odd parity is used, the
result of the exclusive or is inverted. The relation between the parity bit and data bits is as
follows:
Peven Parity bit using even parity
Podd Parity bit using odd parity
dn Data bit n of the character
If used, the parity bit is located between the last data bit and first stop bit of a serial frame.
14.5 USART Initialization
The USART has to be initialized before any communication can take place. The initialization process
normally consists of setting the baud rate, setting frame format and enabling the
Transmitter or the Receiver depending on the usage. For interrupt driven USART operation, the
Global Interrupt Flag should be cleared (and interrupts globally disabled) when doing the
initialization.
Before doing a re-initialization with changed baud rate or frame format, be sure that there are no
ongoing transmissions during the period the registers are changed. The TXC flag can be used to
check that the Transmitter has completed all transfers, and the RXC flag can be used to check
that there are no unread data in the receive buffer. Note that the TXC flag must be cleared
before each transmission (before UDR is written) if it is used for this purpose.

The following simple USART initialization code examples show one assembly and one C function
that are equal in functionality. The examples assume asynchronous operation using polling
(no interrupts enabled) and a fixed frame format. The baud rate is given as a function parameter.
For the assembly code, the baud rate parameter is assumed to be stored in the r17:r16
Registers.
Note: 1. See “Code Examples” on page 7.
More advanced initialization routines can be made that include frame format as parameters, disable
interrupts and so on. However, many applications use a fixed setting of the baud and
control registers, and for these types of applications the initialization code can be placed directly
in the main routine, or be combined with initialization code for other I/O modules.
14.6 Data Transmission – The USART Transmitter
The USART Transmitter is enabled by setting the Transmit Enable (TXEN) bit in the UCSRB
Register. When the Transmitter is enabled, the normal port operation of the TxD pin is overridden
by the USART and given the function as the Transmitter’s serial output. The baud rate,
mode of operation and frame format must be set up once before doing any transmissions. If synchronous
operation is used, the clock on the XCK pin will be overridden and used as
transmission clock.
Assembly Code Example(1)
USART_Init:
; Set baud rate
out UBRRH, r17
out UBRRL, r16
; Enable receiver and transmitter
ldi r16, (1<>8);
UBRRL = (unsigned char)baud;
/* Enable receiver and transmitter */
UCSRB = (1<> 1) & 0x01;
return ((resh << 8) | resl);
}132
8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
The receive function example reads all the I/O Registers into the Register File before any computation
is done. This gives an optimal receive buffer utilization since the buffer location read will
be free to accept new data as early as possible.
14.7.3 Receive Compete Flag and Interrupt
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the Receiver state.
The Receive Complete (RXC) flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer.
This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive
buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXEN = 0),
the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXC bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIE) in UCSRB is set, the USART Receive
Complete interrupt will be executed as long as the RXC flag is set (provided that global interrupts
are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete routine
must read the received data from UDR in order to clear the RXC flag, otherwise a new interrupt
will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
14.7.4 Receiver Error Flags
The USART Receiver has three error flags: Frame Error (FE), Data OverRun (DOR) and Parity
Error (UPE). All can be accessed by reading UCSRA. Common for the error flags is that they are
located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they indicate the error status. Due
to the buffering of the error flags, the UCSRA must be read before the receive buffer (UDR),
since reading the UDR I/O location changes the buffer read location. Another equality for the
error flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to the flag location. However,
all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRA is written for upward compatibility of future
USART implementations. None of the error flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FE) flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame
stored in the receive buffer. The FE flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one),
and the FE flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for
detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling. The FE flag
is not affected by the setting of the USBS bit in UCSRC since the Receiver ignores all, except for
the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to
UCSRA.
The Data OverRun (DOR) flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. A Data
OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in
the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DOR flag is set there was one
or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from UDR, and the next frame read from
UDR. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.
The DOR flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from the Shift Register
to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (UPE) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Parity Error
when received. If Parity Check is not enabled the UPE bit will always be read zero. For compatibility
with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA. For more details see
“Parity Bit Calculation” on page 125 and “Parity Checker” on page 132.
14.7.5 Parity Checker
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPM1) bit is set. Type of Parity
Check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPM0 bit. When enabled, the Parity133
8246B–AVR–09/11
ATtiny2313A/4313
Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with
the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is stored in the receive buffer together
with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (UPE) flag can then be read by software to
check if the frame had a Parity Error.
The UPE bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received and the Parity Checking was enabled at that point (UPM1 = 1). This bit is
valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is read.
14.7.6 Disabling the Receiver
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing
receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (i.e., the RXEN is set to zero) the Receiver will
no longer override the normal function of the RxD port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be
flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer will be lost
14.7.7 Flushing the Receive Buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer will be
emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal
operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDR I/O location until the RXC flag is
cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “Code Examples” on page 7.
14.8 Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data
reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate
clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin. The data recovery logic samples
and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the
Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal
baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
14.8.1 Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 14-5
illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times

The code is size optimized using only eight instructions (plus return). The code example
assumes that the DO and USCK pins have been enabled as outputs in DDRA. The value stored
in register r16 prior to the function is called is transferred to the slave device, and when the
transfer is completed the data received from the slave is stored back into the register r16.
The second and third instructions clear the USI Counter Overflow Flag and the USI counter
value. The fourth and fifth instructions set three-wire mode, positive edge clock, count at USITC
strobe, and toggle USCK. The loop is repeated 16 times.

21.3.1 Pin Mapping
The pin mapping is listed in Table 21-7. Note that not all parts use the SPI pins dedicated for the
internal SPI interface.
21.3.2 Programming Algorithm
When writing serial data to the ATtiny2313A/4313, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the ATtiny2313A/4313, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See
Figure 22-6 on page 205 and Figure 22-7 on page 205 for timing details.
To program and verify the ATtiny2313A/4313 in the serial programming mode, the following
sequence is recommended (See Table 21-8, “Serial Programming Instruction Set,” on
page 196):
1. Power-up sequence: apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are
set to “0”
– In some systems, the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during
power-up. In this case, RESET must be given a positive pulse after SCK has been
set to '0'. The duration of the pulse must be at least tRST plus two CPU clock cycles.
See Table 22-3 on page 201 for definition of minimum pulse width on RESET pin,
tRST
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and then enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to the MOSI pin
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync, the second byte (0x53) will echo back when issuing the
third byte of the Programming Enable instruction
– Regardless if the echo is correct or not, all four bytes of the instruction must be
transmitted
– If the 0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a positive pulse and issue a new
Programming Enable command
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at
a time by supplying the 4 LSB of the address and data together with the Load Program
Memory Page instruction.
– To ensure correct loading of the page, the data low byte must be loaded before data
high byte is applied for a given address
– The Program Memory Page is stored by loading the Write Program Memory Page
instruction with the 6 MSB of the address
– If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing
the next page. (See Table 21-9 on page 197). Accessing the serial programming
interface before the Flash write operation completes can result in incorrect
programming.
5. The EEPROM can be programmed one byte or one page at a time.

– A: Byte programming. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by
supplying the address and data together with the Write instruction. EEPROM
memory locations are automatically erased before new data is written. If polling
(RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the
next byte (See Table 21-9). In a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need
to be programmed
– B: Page programming (the EEPROM array is programmed one page at a time). The
memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 6 LSB of the address
and data together with the Load EEPROM Memory Page instruction. The EEPROM
memory page is stored by loading the Write EEPROM Memory Page Instruction with
the 7 MSB of the address. When using EEPROM page access only byte locations
loaded with the Load EEPROM Memory Page instruction are altered and the
remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user
must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (See Table 21-9). In a chip
erased device, no 0xFF in the data file(s) need to be programmed
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction, which returns the
content at the selected address at the serial output pin (MISO)
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation
8. Power-off sequence (if required): set RESET to “1”, and turn VCC power off

Notes: 1. “Min” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high.
2. “Max” means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low.
3. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20 mA at VCC = 5V, 10 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
1] The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 60 mA.
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater
than the listed test condition.
4. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (20 mA at VCC = 5V, 10 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
1] The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 60 mA.
If IOH exceeds the test condition, VOH may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to source current
greater than the listed test condition.
5. The RESET pin must tolerate high voltages when entering and operating in programming modes and, as a consequence,
has a weak drive strength as compared to regular I/O pins. See Figure 23-29 and Figure 23-30.
6. These are test limits, which account for leakage currents of the test environment. Actual device leakage currents are lower.

Notes: 1. Values are guidelines, only.
2. Threshold where device is released from reset when voltage is rising.
3. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOA.
22.5.2 Brown-Out Detection
Note: 1. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where
this is the case, the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees
that a Brown-out Reset will occur before VCC drops to a voltage where correct
operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed.

23. Typical Characteristics
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of similar
devices in the same process and design methods. Thus, the data should be treated as indications
of how the part will behave.
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
During characterisation devices are operated at frequencies higher than test limits but they are
not guaranteed to function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. Current consumption is a function of several factors such as operating
voltage, operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed
and ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock source but current consumption in
Power-Down mode is independent of clock selection. The difference between current consumption
in Power-Down mode with Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-Down mode with Watchdog
Timer disabled represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
The current drawn from pins with a capacitive load may be estimated (for one pin) as follows:
where VCC = operating voltage, CL = load capacitance and fSW = average switching frequency of
I/O pin.
23.1 Effect of Power Reduction
Peripheral modules are enabled and disabled via control bits in the Power Reduction Register.

Notes: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When addressing I/O
Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. 257

1.1.3 Port B (PB3:PB0)
Port B is a 4-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability except PB3 which has the RESET capability. To use pin PB3 as an I/O pin, instead of
RESET pin, program (‘0’) RSTDISBL fuse. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low
will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the ATtiny24A/44A/84A as listed
in Section 10.2 “Alternate Port Functions” on page 58.
1.1.4 RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a
reset, even if the clock is not running and provided the reset pin has not been disabled. The minimum
pulse length is given in Table 20-4 on page 176. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a reset.
The reset pin can also be used as a (weak) I/O pin.
1.1.5 Port A (PA7:PA0)
Port A is a 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port A output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port A pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port A has alternate functions as analog inputs for the ADC, analog comparator, timer/counter,
SPI and pin change interrupt as described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 58.4

ATtiny24A/44A/84A
2. Overview
ATtiny24A/44A/84A are low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontrollers based on the AVR enhanced
RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the
ATtiny24A/44A/84A achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system
designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
Figure 2-1. Block Diagram
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All 32
registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional
CISC microcontrollers.

Watchdog Timer with internal oscillator, internal calibrated oscillator, and four software selectable
power saving modes. Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counter,
ADC, Analog Comparator, and Interrupt system to continue functioning. ADC Noise Reduction
mode minimizes switching noise during ADC conversions by stopping the CPU and all I/O modules
except the ADC. In Power-down mode registers keep their contents and all chip functions
are disbaled until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator
oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping, allowing very fast start-up combined
with low power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The onchip
ISP Flash allows the Program memory to be re-programmed in-system through an SPI
serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer or by an on-chip boot code
running on the AVR core.
The ATtiny24A/44A/84A AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators and Evaluation
kits.6

3. General Information
3.1 Resources
A comprehensive set of drivers, application notes, data sheets and descriptions on development
tools are available for download at http://www.atmel.com/avr.
3.2 Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of
the device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before
compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files
and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.
For I/O Registers located in the extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI”
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically, this
means “LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”. Note that not all
AVR devices include an extended I/O map.
3.3 Capacitive Touch Sensing
Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution for touch sensitive interfaces on Atmel
AVR microcontrollers. The QTouch Library includes support for QTouch® and QMatrix® acquisition
methods.
Touch sensing is easily added to any application by linking the QTouch Library and using the
Application Programming Interface (API) of the library to define the touch channels and sensors.
The application then calls the API to retrieve channel information and determine the state of the
touch sensor.
The QTouch Library is free and can be downloaded from the Atmel website. For more information
and details of implementation, refer to the QTouch Library User Guide – also available from
the Atmel website.
3.4 Data Retention
Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less
than 1 PPM over 20 years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.
3.5 Disclaimer
Typical values contained in this datasheet are based on simulations and characterization of
other AVR microcontrollers manufactured on the same process technology. Min and Max values
will be available after the device has been characterized.7

4. CPU Core
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core
is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories,
perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
4.1 Architectural Overview
Figure 4-1. Block Diagram of the AVR Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.

8183F–AVR–06/12
ATtiny24A/44A/84A
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers
can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash Program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, capable of
directly addressing the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word
format but 32-bit wide instructions also exist. The actual instruction set varies, as some devices
only implement a part of the instruction set.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data
Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F.
4.2 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose
working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose
registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations of the
architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication
and fractional format. See the “Instruction Set” section for a detailed description.
4.3 Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as
specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the
dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.9
8183F–AVR–06/12
ATtiny24A/44A/84A
The Status Register is neither automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
4.4 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve
the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 4-2 below shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 4-2. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and
most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 4-2, each register is also assigned a Data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the file.
4.4.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 4-3 below.

8183F–AVR–06/12
ATtiny24A/44A/84A
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
4.5 Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack
with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto
the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is
popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of
bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations
of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register
will not be present.
4.6 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR
CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the
chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 4-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Figure 4-5 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle an ALU
operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination
register.
Figure 4-5. Single Cycle ALU Operation
4.7 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector each have a separate Program Vector in the Program memory space. All interrupts are
assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt
Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 47. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the
priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt
Request 0.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding
Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s)

to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is
cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the
Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.
Assembly Code Example
in r16, SREG ; store SREG value
cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence
sbi EECR, EEMPE ; start EEPROM write
sbi EECR, EEPE
out SREG, r16 ; restore SREG value (I-bit)
C Code Example
char cSREG;
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */
_CLI();
EECR |= (1<
... ...
9.2 External Interrupts
External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0 pin or any of the PCINT[11:0] pins. Observe that, if
enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0 or PCINT[11:0] pins are configured as outputs.
This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. Pin change 0 interrupts
PCI0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT[7:0] pin toggles. Pin change 1 interrupts PCI1 will trigger
if any enabled PCINT[11:8] pin toggles. The PCMSK0 and PCMSK1 Registers control which
pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT[11:0] are detected
asynchronously, which means that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from
sleep modes other than Idle mode.
The INT0 interrupt can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up as
shown in “MCUCR – MCU Control Register” on page 50. When the INT0 interrupt is enabled
and configured as level triggered, the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low. Note
that recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 requires the presence of an I/O clock,
as described in “Clock Sources” on page 25.
9.2.1 Low Level Interrupt
A low level interrupt on INT0 is detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt source
can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is halted in
all sleep modes except Idle).49
8183F–AVR–06/12
ATtiny24A/44A/84A
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level
must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If
the level disappears before the end of the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt
will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the SUT and CKSEL fuses, as described
in “Clock System” on page 24.
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program
execution will not be diverted to the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following
the SLEEP command.

9.3 Register Description
9.3.1 MCUCR – MCU Control Register
The External Interrupt Control Register A contains control bits for interrupt sense control.
• Bits 1:0 – ISC0[1:0]: Interrupt Sense Control 0 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The External Interrupt 0 is activated by the external pin INT0 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding
interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the
interrupt are defined in Table 9-2. The value on the INT0 pin is sampled before detecting edges.
If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will generate
an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is
selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to
generate an interrupt.
9.3.2 GIMSK – General Interrupt Mask Register
• Bits 7, 3:0 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved in the ATtiny24A/44A and will always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable
When the INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external
pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control bits (ISC01 and ISC00) in the External
Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA) define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising
and/or falling edge of the INT0 pin or level sensed. Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt
request even if INT0 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt
Request 0 is executed from the INT0 Interrupt Vector.
• Bit 5 – PCIE1: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 1
When the PCIE1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin
change interrupt 1 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT[11:8] pin will cause an interrupt.
The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed from the PCI1
Interrupt Vector. PCINT[11:8] pins are enabled individually by the PCMSK1 Register.

• Bit 4 – PCIE0: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 0
When the PCIE0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin
change interrupt 0 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT[7:0] pin will cause an interrupt.
The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed from the PCI0
Interrupt Vector. PCINT[7:0] pins are enabled individually by the PCMSK0 Register.
9.3.3 GIFR – General Interrupt Flag Register
• Bits 7, 3:0 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved in the ATtiny24A/44A and will always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – INTF0: External Interrupt Flag 0
When an edge or logic change on the INT0 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF0 becomes set
(one). If the I-bit in SREG and the INT0 bit in GIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the corresponding
Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed.
Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it. This flag is always cleared
when INT0 is configured as a level interrupt.
• Bit 5 – PCIF1: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 1
When a logic change on any PCINT[11:8] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF1 becomes set
(one). If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE1 bit in GIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the
corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively,
the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it.
• Bit 4 – PCIF0: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 0
When a logic change on any PCINT[7:0] pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF becomes set
(one). If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE0 bit in GIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the
corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively,
the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it.
9.3.4 PCMSK1 – Pin Change Mask Register 1
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved in the ATtiny24A/44A and will always read as zero.
• Bits 3:0 – PCINT[11:8]: Pin Change Enable Mask 11:8
Each PCINT[11:8] bit selects whether pin change interrupt is enabled on the corresponding I/O
pin. If PCINT[11:8] is set and the PCIE1 bit in GIMSK is set, pin change interrupt is enabled on
the corresponding I/O pin. If PCINT[11:8] is cleared, pin change interrupt on the corresponding
I/O pin is disabled.

10. I/O Ports
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports.
This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing
the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing
drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as
input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually
selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have
protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as indicated in Figure 10-1 on page 53. See “Electrical
Characteristics” on page 173 for a complete list of parameters.
Figure 10-1. I/O Pin Equivalent Schematic
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents
the numbering letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However,
when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example,
PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers
and bit locations are listed in “Register Description” on page 66.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register
– PORTx, Data Direction Register – DDRx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The Port Input Pins
I/O location is read only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.
However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx Register, will result in a toggle in the corresponding
bit in the Data Register. In addition, the Pull-up Disable – PUD bit in MCUCR disables the
pull-up function for all pins in all ports when set.
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page
54. Most port pins are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral features on the
device. How each alternate function interferes with the port pin is described in “Alternate Port
Functions” on page 58. Refer to the individual module sections for a full description of the alternate
functions.
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the
other pins in the port as general digital I/O.

10.1 Ports as General Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 10-2 shows a functional
description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.
Figure 10-2. General Digital I/O(1)
Note: 1. WRx, WPx, WDx, RRx, RPx, and RDx are common to all pins within the same port. clkI/O,
SLEEP, and PUD are common to all ports.
10.1.1 Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register
Description” on page 66, the DDxn bits are accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits
at the PORTx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one,
Pxn is configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input
pin.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an input pin, the pull-up resistor is
activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PORTxn has to be written logic zero or the pin has to
be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when reset condition becomes active,
even if no clocks are running.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven
high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port
pin is driven low (zero).

10.1.2 Toggling the Pin
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn.
Note that the SBI instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
10.1.3 Switching Between Input and Output
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output
low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) must occur. Normally, the pull-up enabled state is fully acceptable,
as a high-impedant environment will not notice the difference between a strong high driver
and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR Register can be set to disable all
pull-ups in all ports.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user
must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b10) as an intermediate step.
Table 10-1 summarizes the control signals for the pin value.
10.1.4 Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the
PINxn Register bit. As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 54, the PINxn Register bit and the preceding
latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin
changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. Figure 10-3
shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin value.
The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch
is closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the
shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock
goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at the succeeding positive clock edge. As indicated
by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition on the pin will be delayed
between ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated
in Figure 10-4 on page 56. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the
positive edge of the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system
clock period.
Figure 10-4. Synchronization when Reading a Software Assigned Pin Value
10.1.5 Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 54, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the
input of the schmitt-trigger. The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep
Controller in Power-down and Standby modes to avoid high power consumption if some input
signals are left floating, or have an analog signal level close to VCC/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as external interrupt pins. If the external interrupt
request is not enabled, SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also overridden by various
other alternate functions as described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 58.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as
“Interrupt on Rising Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interrupt
is not enabled, the corresponding External Interrupt Flag will be set when resuming from the
above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested
logic change.
10.1.6 Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even
though most of the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating
inputs should be avoided to reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital
inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up.
In this case, the pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is

important, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or pulldown. Connecting unused pins
directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this may cause excessive currents if the pin is
accidentally configured as an output.
10.1.7 Program Examples
The following code example shows how to set port A pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define
the port pins from 4 to 5 as input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 4. The resulting pin values
are read back again, but as previously discussed, a nop instruction is included to be able to read
back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.
Note: Two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1 and 4,
until the direction bits are correctly set, defining bit 2 and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as
strong high drivers.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 6.

The code is size optimized using only eight instructions (plus return). The code example
assumes that the DO and USCK pins have been enabled as outputs in DDRA. The value stored
in register r16 prior to the function is called is transferred to the slave device, and when the
transfer is completed the data received from the slave is stored back into the register r16.

19.5.1 Serial Programming Algorithm
When writing serial data to the ATtiny24A/44A/84A, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 20-3 and Figure 20-4 for
timing details.
To program and verify the ATtiny24A/44A/84A in the Serial Programming mode, the following
sequence is recommended (see four byte instruction formats in Table 19-12):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems,
the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse after SCK has been set to '0'. The duration
of the pulse must be at least tRST (the minimum pulse width on RESET pin, see Table
20-4 on page 176) plus two CPU clock cycles.
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the
third byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all
four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give
RESET a positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at
a time by supplying the 5 LSB of the address and data together with the Load Program
memory Page instruction. To ensure correct loading of the page, the data low byte must
be loaded before data high byte is applied for a given address. The Program memory
Page is stored by loading the Write Program memory Page instruction with the 3 MSB
of the address. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH
before issuing the next page. (See Table 19-11 on page 164.) Accessing the serial programming
interface before the Flash write operation completes can result in incorrect
programming.
5. A: The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and
data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is
first automatically erased before new data is written. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used,
the user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (See Table 19-11
on page 164.) In a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
B: The EEPROM array is programmed one page at a time. The Memory page is loaded
one byte at a time by supplying the 2 LSB of the address and data together with the
Load EEPROM Memory Page instruction. The EEPROM Memory Page is stored by
loading the Write EEPROM Memory Page Instruction with the 4 MSB of the address.
When using EEPROM page access only byte locations loaded with the Load EEPROM
Memory Page instruction is altered. The remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling
(RDY/BSY) is not used, the used must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the
next page (See Table 19-11 on page 164). In a chip erased device, no 0xFF in the data
file(s) need to be programmed.
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the
content at the selected address at serial output MISO.164
8183F–AVR–06/12
ATtiny24A/44A/84A
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation.
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off.

19.7 High-Voltage Serial Programming Algorithm
To program and verify the ATtiny24A/44A/84A in the High-voltage Serial Programming mode,
the following sequence is recommended (See instruction formats in Table 19-16 on page 170):

19.7.1 Enter High-voltage Serial Programming Mode
The following algorithm puts the device in High-voltage Serial Programming mode:
1. Set Prog_enable pins listed in Table 19-14 on page 166 to “000”, RESET pin and VCC
to 0V.
2. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between VCC and GND. Ensure that VCC reaches at least 1.8V within
the next 20 µs.
3. Wait 20 - 60 µs, and apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET.
4. Keep the Prog_enable pins unchanged for at least 10 µs after the High-voltage has
been applied to ensure the Prog_enable Signature has been latched.
5. Release the Prog_enable[2] pin after tHVRST has elapsed.
6. Wait at least 300 µs before giving any serial instructions on SDI/SII.
7. Exit Programming mode by power the device down or by bringing RESET pin to 0V.
If the rise time of the VCC is unable to fulfill the requirements listed above, the following alternative
algorithm can be used:
1. Set Prog_enable pins listed in Table 19-14 on page 166 to “000”, RESET pin and VCC
to 0V.
2. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between VCC and GND.
3. Monitor VCC, and as soon as VCC reaches 0.9 - 1.1V, apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET.
4. Keep the Prog_enable pins unchanged for at least 10 µs after the High-voltage has
been applied to ensure the Prog_enable Signature has been latched.
5. Release the Prog_enable[2] pin to avoid drive contention on the Prog_enable[2]/SDO
pin.
6. Wait until VCC actually reaches 4.5 - 5.5V before giving any serial instructions on
SDI/SII.
7. Exit Programming mode by power the device down or by bringing RESET pin to 0V.

19.7.2 Considerations for Efficient Programming
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For efficient
programming, the following should be considered.
• The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory
locations.
• Skip writing the data value 0xFF that is the contents of the entire EEPROM (unless the
EESAVE Fuse is programmed) and Flash after a Chip Erase.
• Address High byte needs only be loaded before programming or reading a new 256 word
window in Flash or 256 byte EEPROM. This consideration also applies to Signature bytes
reading.
19.7.3 Chip Erase
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM(1) memories plus Lock bits. The Lock bits are
not reset until the Program memory has been completely erased. The Fuse bits are not
changed. A Chip Erase must be performed before the Flash and/or EEPROM are reprogrammed.
1. Load command “Chip Erase” (see Table 19-16 on page 170).
2. Wait after Instr. 3 until SDO goes high for the “Chip Erase” cycle to finish.
3. Load Command “No Operation”.
Note: 1. The EEPROM memory is preserved during Chip Erase if the EESAVE Fuse is programmed.
19.7.4 Programming the Flash
The Flash is organized in pages, see “Page Size” on page 161. When programming the Flash,
the program data is latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of program data to be programmed
simultaneously. The following procedure describes how to program the entire Flash
memory:
1. Load Command “Write Flash” (see Table 19-16 on page 170).
2. Load Flash Page Buffer.
3. Load Flash High Address and Program Page. Wait after Instr. 3 until SDO goes high
for the “Page Programming” cycle to finish.
4. Repeat 2 through 3 until the entire Flash is programmed or until all data has been
programmed.
5. End Page Programming by Loading Command “No Operation”.
When writing or reading serial data to the ATtiny24A/44A/84A, data is clocked on the rising edge
of the serial clock, see Figure 20-5 on page 181, Figure 19-3 on page 166 and Table 20-12 on
page 181 for details.169

19.7.5 Programming the EEPROM
The EEPROM is organized in pages, see Table 20-11 on page 180. When programming the
EEPROM, the data is latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of data to be programmed
simultaneously. The programming algorithm for the EEPROM Data memory is as
follows (refer to Table 19-16 on page 170):
1. Load Command “Write EEPROM”.
2. Load EEPROM Page Buffer.
3. Program EEPROM Page. Wait after Instr. 2 until SDO goes high for the “Page Programming”
cycle to finish.
4. Repeat 2 through 3 until the entire EEPROM is programmed or until all data has been
programmed.
5. End Page Programming by Loading Command “No Operation”.

3. For page sizes less than 256 bytes, parts of the address (bbbb_bbbb) will be parts of the page address.
4. The EEPROM is written page-wise. But only the bytes that are loaded into the page are actually written to the EEPROM.
Page-wise EEPROM access is more efficient when multiple bytes are to be written to the same page. Note that auto-erase

Notes: 1. Typical values at 25°C.
2. “Min” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high.
3. “Max” means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low.
4. Not tested in production.
5. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the sum of all IOL (for all ports) should not exceed 60 mA. If IOL exceeds the test conditions, VOL
may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater than the listed test condition.
6. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the sum of all IOH (for all ports) should not exceed 60 mA. If IOH exceeds the test condition, VOH
may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to source current greater than the listed test condition.
7. The RESET pin must tolerate high voltages when entering and operating in programming modes and, as a consequence,
has a weak drive strength as compared to regular I/O pins. See Figure 21-87, Figure 21-88, Figure 21-89, and Figure 21-90
(starting on page 226).
8. These are test limits, which account for leakage currents of the test environment. Actual device leakage currents are lower.
9. Values are with external clock using methods described in “Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 35. Power Reduction
is enabled (PRR = 0xFF) and there is no I/O drive.
10. BOD Disabled.
20.3 Speed
The maximum operating frequency of the device depends on VCC. As shown in Figure 20-1, the
relationship between maximum frequency and VCC is linear in the region 1.8V < VCC < 4.5V.

20.4.1 Accuracy of Calibrated Internal Oscillator
It is possible to manually calibrate the internal oscillator to be more accurate than default factory
calibration. Note that the oscillator frequency depends on temperature and voltage. Voltage and
temperature characteristics can be found in Figure 21-109 on page 237 and Figure 21-110 on
page 238.

20.5.1 Power-On Reset
Note: 1. Values are guidelines, only
2. Threshold where device is released from reset when voltage is rising
3. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOA
20.5.2 Brown-Out Detection
Note: 1. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where
this is the case, the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees
that a Brown-out Reset will occur before VCC drops to a voltage where correct
operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed.

21. Typical Characteristics
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of similar
devices in the same process and design methods. Thus, the data should be treated as indications
of how the part will behave.
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
During characterisation devices are operated at frequencies higher than test limits but they are
not guaranteed to function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. Current consumption is a function of several factors such as operating
voltage, operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed
and ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock source but current consumption in
Power-Down mode is independent of clock selection. The difference between current consumption
in Power-Down mode with Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-Down mode with Watchdog
Timer disabled represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
The current drawn from pins with a capacitive load may be estimated (for one pin) as follows:
where VCC = operating voltage, CL = load capacitance and fSW = average switching frequency of
I/O pin.
21.1 Supply Current of I/O Modules
The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
is controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See “Power Reduction Register” on page 35 for
details.
Table 21-2 below can be used for calculating typical current consumption for other supply voltages
and frequencies than those mentioned in the Table 21-1 above.

21.1.1 Example
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with USI, TIMER0, and ADC enabled
at VCC = 2.0V and f = 1 MHz. From Table 21-2 on page 183, third column, we see that we need
to add 5% for the USI, 10% for TIMER0, and 20% for the ADC. Reading from Figure 21-61 on
page 213, we find that current consumption in idle mode at 2V and 1 MHz is about 0.04 mA. The
total current consumption in idle mode with USI, TIMER0, and ADC enabled is therefore:

Note: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operation the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.268

8067O–AVR–06/2013
3. Overview
The Atmel AVR XMEGA is a family of low power, high performance, and peripheral rich 8/16-bit microcontrollers based
on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the AVR XMEGA devices
achieve CPU throughput approaching one million instructions per second (MIPS) per megahertz, allowing the system
designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The Atmel AVR CPU combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All 32 registers are
directly connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in a single
instruction, executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs
many times faster than conventional single-accumulator or CISC based microcontrollers.
The AVR XMEGA A1 devices provide the following features: in-system programmable flash with read-while-write
capabilities; internal EEPROM and SRAM; four-channel DMA controller, eight-channel event system and programmable
multilevel interrupt controller, 78 general purpose I/O lines, 16-bit real-time counter (RTC); eight flexible, 16-bit
timer/counters with compare and PWM channels, eight USARTs; four two-wire serial interfaces (TWIs); four serial
peripheral interfaces (SPIs); AES and DES cryptographic engine; two 16-channel, 12-bit ADCs with programmable gain;
two 2-channel, 12-bit DACs; four Analog Comparators (ACs) with window mode; programmable watchdog timer with
separate internal oscillator; accurate internal oscillators with PLL and prescaler; and programmable brown-out detection.
The program and debug interface (PDI), a fast, two-pin interface for programming and debugging, is available. The
devices also have an IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG interface, and this can also be used for boundary scan, on-chip
debug and programming.
The XMEGA A1 devices have five software selectable power saving modes. The idle mode stops the CPU while allowing
the SRAM, DMA controller, event system, interrupt controller, and all peripherals to continue functioning. The powerdown
mode saves the SRAM and register contents, but stops the oscillators, disabling all other functions until the next
TWI or pin-change interrupt, or reset. In power-save mode, the asynchronous real-time counter continues to run, allowing
the application to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. In standby mode, the external crystal
oscillator keeps running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast startup from the external crystal,
combined with low power consumption. In extended standby mode, both the main oscillator and the asynchronous timer
continue to run. To further reduce power consumption, the peripheral clock to each individual peripheral can optionally be
stopped in active mode and idle sleep mode.
Atmel offers a free QTouch library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels functionality into AVR
microcontrollers.
The device are manufactured using Atmel high-density, nonvolatile memory technology. The program flash memory can
be reprogrammed in-system through the PDI or JTAG interfaces. A boot loader running in the device can use any
interface to download the application program to the flash memory. The boot loader software in the boot flash section will
continue to run while the application flash section is updated, providing true read-while-write operation. By combining an

5. Capacitive touch sensing
The Atmel QTouch library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on most Atmel AVR
microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers robust sensing and includes fully debounced
reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key Suppression® (AKS®) technology for unambiguous detection of key
events. The QTouch library includes support for the QTouch and QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate Atmel QTouch library for the AVR
microcontroller. This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors, and then calling the
touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information and determine the touch sensor states.
The QTouch library is FREE and downloadable from the Atmel website at the following location:
www.atmel.com/qtouchlibrary. For implementation details and other information, refer to the QTouch library user guide -
also available for download from the Atmel website.

7.2 Overview
All Atmel AVR XMEGA devices use the 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the CPU is to execute the code and
perform all calculations. The CPU is able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and execute the
program in the flash memory. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section, refer to “Interrupts and Programmable
Multilevel Interrupt Controller” on page 29.
7.3 Architectural Overview
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate memories
and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with single-level pipelining. While one
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This enables instructions to
be executed on every clock cycle. For details of all AVR instructions, refer to http://www.atmel.com/avr.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 9
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Figure 7-1. Block diagram of the AVR CPU architecture.
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a
register. Single-register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the status register is
updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
The ALU is directly connected to the fast-access register file. The 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers all have
single clock cycle access time allowing single-cycle arithmetic logic unit (ALU) operation between registers or between a
register and an immediate. Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit address pointers for program and data
space addressing, enabling efficient address calculations.
The memory spaces are linear. The data memory space and the program memory space are two different memory
spaces.
The data memory space is divided into I/O registers, SRAM, and external RAM. In addition, the EEPROM can be
memory mapped in the data memory.
All I/O status and control registers reside in the lowest 4KB addresses of the data memory. This is referred to as the I/O
memory space. The lowest 64 addresses can be accessed directly, or as the data space locations from 0x00 to 0x3F.
The rest is the extended I/O memory space, ranging from 0x0040 to 0x0FFF. I/O registers here must be accessed as
data space locations using load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions.
The SRAM holds data. Code execution from SRAM is not supported. It can easily be accessed through the five different
addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture. The first SRAM address is 0x2000.
Data addresses 0x1000 to 0x1FFF are reserved for memory mapping of EEPROM.
The program memory is divided in two sections, the application program section and the boot program section. Both
sections have dedicated lock bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM instruction that is used for selfprogramming
of the application flash memory must reside in the boot program section. The application section contains
an application table section with separate lock bits for write and read/write protection. The application table section can
be used for safe storing of nonvolatile data in the program memory.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 10
8067O–AVR–06/2013
7.4 ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a
register. Single-register operations can also be executed. The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general
purpose registers. In a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register
and an immediate are executed and the result is stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the
status register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit functions. Both 8- and 16-bit
arithmetic is supported, and the instruction set allows for efficient implementation of 32-bit aritmetic. The hardware
multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
7.4.1 Hardware Multiplier
The multiplier is capable of multiplying two 8-bit numbers into a 16-bit result. The hardware multiplier supports different
variations of signed and unsigned integer and fractional numbers:
Multiplication of unsigned integers
Multiplication of signed integers
Multiplication of a signed integer with an unsigned integer
Multiplication of unsigned fractional numbers
Multiplication of signed fractional numbers
Multiplication of a signed fractional number with an unsigned one
A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles.
7.5 Program Flow
After reset, the CPU starts to execute instructions from the lowest address in the flash program memory ‘0.’ The program
counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to be fetched.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions capable of addressing the whole
address space directly. Most AVR instructions use a 16-bit word format, while a limited number use a 32-bit format.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack. The stack is allocated in the general
data SRAM, and consequently the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. After
reset, the stack pointer (SP) points to the highest address in the internal SRAM. The SP is read/write accessible in the
I/O memory space, enabling easy implementation of multiple stacks or stack areas. The data SRAM can easily be
accessed through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR CPU.
7.6 Status Register
The status register (SREG) contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic or logic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that
the status register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the instruction set reference. This will in many
cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine nor restored when returning from an
interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The status register is accessible in the I/O memory space.
7.6.1 Stack and Stack Pointer
The stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. It can also be used for storing
temporary data. The stack pointer (SP) register always points to the top of the stack. It is implemented as two 8-bit
registers that are accessible in the I/O memory space. Data are pushed and popped from the stack using the PUSH and
POP instructions. The stack grows from a higher memory location to a lower memory location. This implies that pushing
data onto the stack decreases the SP, and popping data off the stack increases the SP. The SP is automatically loaded [Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 11
8067O–AVR–06/2013
after reset, and the initial value is the highest address of the internal SRAM. If the SP is changed, it must be set to point
above address 0x2000, and it must be defined before any subroutine calls are executed or before interrupts are enabled.
During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the stack. The return address can be
two or three bytes, depending on program memory size of the device. For devices with 128KB or less of program
memory, the return address is two bytes, and hence the stack pointer is decremented/incremented by two. For devices
with more than 128KB of program memory, the return address is three bytes, and hence the SP is
decremented/incremented by three. The return address is popped off the stack when returning from interrupts using the
RETI instruction, and from subroutine calls using the RET instruction.
The SP is decremented by one when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by one
when data is popped off the stack using the POP instruction.
To prevent corruption when updating the stack pointer from software, a write to SPL will automatically disable interrupts
for up to four instructions or until the next I/O memory write.
After reset the stack pointer is initialized to the highest address of the SRAM. See Table 8-2 on page 15.
7.7 Register File
The register file consists of 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with single clock cycle access time. The register
file supports the following input/output schemes:
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit address register pointers for data space addressing, enabling efficient
address calculations. One of these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for lookup tables in flash
program memory.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 12

8.2 Overview
The Atmel AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the program memory and the data memory. Executable code
can reside only in the program memory, while data can be stored in the program memory and the data memory. The data
memory includes the internal SRAM, and EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. All memory spaces are linear and
require no memory bank switching. Nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces can be locked for further write and read/write
operations. This prevents unrestricted access to the application software.
A separate memory section contains the fuse bytes. These are used for configuring important system functions, and can
only be written by an external programmer.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 13
8067O–AVR–06/2013
The available memory size configurations are shown in “Ordering Information” on page 2. In addition each device has a
flash memory signature rows for calibration data, device identification, serial number etc.
8.3 In-System Programmable Flash Program Memory
he Atmel AVR XMEGA devices contain on-chip, in-system reprogrammable flash memory for program storage. The flash
memory can be accessed for read and write from an external programmer through the PDI or from application software
running in the device.
All AVR CPU instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, and each flash location is 16 bits wide. The flash memory is organized
in two main sections, the application section and the boot loader section. The sizes of the different sections are fixed, but
device-dependent. These two sections have separate lock bits, and can have different levels of protection. The store
program memory (SPM) instruction, which is used to write to the flash from the application software, will only operate
when executed from the boot loader section.
The application section contains an application table section with separate lock settings. This enables safe storage of
nonvolatile data in the program memory.
Figure 8-1. Flash Program Memory (Hexadecimal address)
8.3.1 Application Section
The Application section is the section of the flash that is used for storing the executable application code. The protection
level for the application section can be selected by the boot lock bits for this section. The application section can not store
any boot loader code since the SPM instruction cannot be executed from the application section.
8.3.2 Application Table Section
The application table section is a part of the application section of the flash memory that can be used for storing data.
The size is identical to the boot loader section. The protection level for the application table section can be selected by
the boot lock bits for this section. The possibilities for different protection levels on the application section and the
application table section enable safe parameter storage in the program memory. If this section is not used for data,
application code can reside here.
8.3.3 Boot Loader Section
While the application section is used for storing the application code, the boot loader software must be located in the boot
loader section because the SPM instruction can only initiate programming when executing from this section. The SPM
instruction can access the entire flash, including the boot loader section itself. The protection level for the boot loader
section can be selected by the boot loader lock bits. If this section is not used for boot loader software, application code
can be stored here.

8067O–AVR–06/2013
8.3.4 Production Signature Row
The production signature row is a separate memory section for factory programmed data. It contains calibration data for
functions such as oscillators and analog modules. Some of the calibration values will be automatically loaded to the
corresponding module or peripheral unit during reset. Other values must be loaded from the signature row and written to
the corresponding peripheral registers from software. For details on calibration conditions, refer to “Electrical
Characteristics” on page 76.
The production signature row also contains an ID that identifies each microcontroller device type and a serial number for
each manufactured device. The serial number consists of the production lot number, wafer number, and wafer
coordinates for the device. The device ID for the available devices is shown in Table 8-1.
The production signature row cannot be written or erased, but it can be read from application software and external
programmers.
Table 8-1. Device ID bytes.
8.3.5 User Signature Row
The user signature row is a separate memory section that is fully accessible (read and write) from application software
and external programmers. It is one flash page in size, and is meant for static user parameter storage, such as calibration
data, custom serial number, identification numbers, random number seeds, etc. This section is not erased by chip erase
commands that erase the flash, and requires a dedicated erase command. This ensures parameter storage during
multiple program/erase operations and on-chip debug sessions.
8.4 Fuses and Lock bits
The fuses are used to configure important system functions, and can only be written from an external programmer. The
application software can read the fuses. The fuses are used to configure reset sources such as brownout detector and
watchdog, startup configuration, JTAG enable, and JTAG user ID.
The lock bits are used to set protection levels for the different flash sections (that is, if read and/or write access should be
blocked). Lock bits can be written by external programmers and application software, but only to stricter protection levels.
Chip erase is the only way to erase the lock bits. To ensure that flash contents are protected even during chip erase, the
lock bits are erased after the rest of the flash memory has been erased.
An unprogrammed fuse or lock bit will have the value one, while a programmed fuse or lock bit will have the value zero.
Both fuses and lock bits are reprogrammable like the flash program memory.
8.5 Data Memory
The data memory contains the I/O memory, internal SRAM, optionally memory mapped EEPROM, and external memory
if available. The data memory is organized as one continuous memory section, see Figure 8-2 on page 15. To simplify
development, I/O Memory, EEPROM and SRAM will always have the same start addresses for all Atmel AVR XMEGA
devices. The address space for External Memory will always start at the end of Internal SRAM and end at address
0xFFFFFF.

Figure 8-2. Data Memory Map (Hexadecimal address)
8.6 EEPROM
XMEGA AU devices have EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. It is either addressable in a separate data space
(default) or memory mapped and accessed in normal data space. The EEPROM supports both byte and page access.
Memory mapped EEPROM allows highly efficient EEPROM reading and EEPROM buffer loading. When doing this,
EEPROM is accessible using load and store instructions. Memory mapped EEPROM will always start at hexadecimal
address 0x1000.
8.7 I/O Memory
The status and configuration registers for peripherals and modules, including the CPU, are addressable through I/O
memory locations. All I/O locations can be accessed by the load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions,
which is used to transfer data between the 32 registers in the register file and the I/O memory. The IN and OUT
instructions can address I/O memory locations in the range 0x00 - 0x3F directly. In the address range 0x00 - 0x1F,
single- cycle instructions for manipulation and checking of individual bits are available.
The I/O memory address for all peripherals and modules in XMEGA A1U is shown in the “Peripheral Module Address
Map” on page 62.
8.7.1 General Purpose I/O Registers
The lowest 16 I/O memory addresses are reserved as general purpose I/O registers. These registers can be used for
storing global variables and flags, as they are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.
8.8 External Memory
Four ports can be used for external memory, supporting external SRAM, SDRAM, and memory mapped peripherals such
as LCD displays. Refer to “EBI – External Bus Interface” on page 47. The external memory address space will always
start at the end of internal SRAM.
8.9 Data Memory and Bus Arbitration
Since the data memory is organized as four separate sets of memories, the different bus masters (CPU, DMA controller
read and DMA controller write, etc.) can access different memory sections at the same time.

8067O–AVR–06/2013
8.10 Memory Timing
Read and write access to the I/O memory takes one CPU clock cycle. A write to SRAM takes one cycle, and a read from
SRAM takes two cycles. For burst read (DMA), new data are available every cycle. EEPROM page load (write) takes one
cycle, and three cycles are required for read. For burst read, new data are available every second cycle. External
memory has multi-cycle read and write. The number of cycles depends on the type of memory and configuration of the
external bus interface. Refer to the instruction summary for more details on instructions and instruction timing.
8.11 Device ID and Revision
Each device has a three-byte device ID. This ID identifies Atmel as the manufacturer of the device and the device type. A
separate register contains the revision number of the device.
8.12 I/O Memory Protection
Some features in the device are regarded as critical for safety in some applications. Due to this, it is possible to lock the
I/O register related to the clock system, the event system, and the advanced waveform extensions. As long as the lock is
enabled, all related I/O registers are locked and they can not be written from the application software. The lock registers
themselves are protected by the configuration change protection mechanism.
8.13 JTAG Disable
It is possible to disable the JTAG interface from the application software. This will prevent all external JTAG access to the
device until the next device reset or until JTAG is enabled again from the application software. As long as JTAG is
disabled, the I/O pins required for JTAG can be used as normal I/O pins.
8.14 Flash and EEPROM Page Size
The flash program memory and EEPROM data memory are organized in pages. The pages are word accessible for the
flash and byte accessible for the EEPROM.
Table 8-2 shows the Flash Program Memory organization. Flash write and erase operations are performed on one page
at a time, while reading the Flash is done one byte at a time. For Flash access the Z-pointer (Z[m:n]) is used for
addressing. The most significant bits in the address (FPAGE) gives the page number and the least significant address
bits (FWORD) gives the word in the page.
Table 8-2. Number of words and Pages in the Flash.
Table 8-3 shows EEPROM memory organization for the Atmel AVR XMEGA A1U devices. EEPROM write and erase
operations can be performed one page or one byte at a time, while reading the EEPROM is done one byte at a time. For
EEPROM access the NVM Address Register (ADDR[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in the
address (E2PAGE) give the page number and the least significant address bits (E2BYTE) give the byte in the page.

All peripherals and modules are addressable through I/O memory locations in the data memory space. All I/O memory
locations can be accessed by the Load (LD/LDS/LDD) and Store (ST/STS/STD) instructions, transferring data between
the 32 general purpose registers in the CPU and the I/O Memory.
The IN and OUT instructions can address I/O memory locations in the range 0x00 - 0x3F directly.
I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. The
value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions on these registers.

9.2 Overview
The four-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller can transfer data between memories and peripherals, and thus
offload these tasks from the CPU. It enables high data transfer rates with minimum CPU intervention, and frees up CPU
time. The four DMA channels enable up to four independent and parallel transfers.
The DMA controller can move data between SRAM and peripherals, between SRAM locations and directly between
peripheral registers. With access to all peripherals, the DMA controller can handle automatic transfer of data to/from
communication modules. The DMA controller can also read from memory mapped EEPROM.
Data transfers are done in continuous bursts of 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes. They build block transfers of configurable size from 1
byte to 64KB. A repeat counter can be used to repeat each block transfer for single transactions up to 16MB. Source and
destination addressing can be static, incremental or decremental. Automatic reload of source and/or destination
addresses can be done after each burst or block transfer, or when a transaction is complete. Application software,
peripherals, and events can trigger DMA transfers.
The four DMA channels have individual configuration and control settings. This include source, destination, transfer
triggers, and transaction sizes. They have individual interrupt settings. Interrupt requests can be generated when a
transaction is complete or when the DMA controller detects an error on a DMA channel.
To allow for continuous transfers, two channels can be interlinked so that the second takes over the transfer when the
first is finished, and vice versa.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 19

10.2 Overview
The Event System is a set of features for inter-peripheral communication. It enables the possibility for a change of state
in one peripheral to automatically trigger actions in one or more peripherals. These changes in a peripheral that will
trigger actions in other peripherals are configurable by software. It is a simple, but powerful system as it allows for
autonomous control of peripherals without any use of interrupts, CPU or DMA resources.
The indication of a change in a peripheral is referred to as an event, and is usually the same as the interrupt conditions
for that peripheral. Events are passed between peripherals using a dedicated routing network called the Event Routing
Network. Figure 10-1 on page 20 shows a basic block diagram of the Event System with the Event Routing Network and
the peripherals to which it is connected. This highly flexible system can be used for simple routing of signals, pin
functions or for sequencing of events.
The maximum latency is two CPU clock cycles from when an event is generated in one peripheral, until the actions are
triggered in one or more other peripherals.
The Event System is functional in both Active and Idle modes.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 20
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Figure 10-1. Event system block diagram.
he event routing network consists of eight software-configurable multiplexers that control how events are routed and
used. These are called event channels, and allow for up to eight parallel event routing configurations. The maximum
routing latency is two peripheral clock cycles. The event system works in both active mode and idle sleep mode.

11.2 Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA devices have a flexible clock system supporting a large number of clock sources. It incorporates
both accurate internal oscillators and external crystal oscillator and resonator support. A high-frequency phase locked
loop (PLL) and clock prescalers can be used to generate a wide range of clock frequencies. An oscillator failure monitor
can be enabled to issue a non-maskable interrupt and switch to the internal oscillator if the external oscillator or PLL fails.
When a reset occurs, all clock sources except the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator are disabled. After reset, the device
will always start up running from the 2MHz internal oscillator. During normal operation, the system clock source and
prescalers can be changed from software at any time.
Figure 11-1 on page 22 presents the principal clock system in the XMEGA A1U family devices. Not all of the clocks need
to be active at a given time. The clocks for the CPU and peripherals can be stopped using sleep modes and power
reduction registers as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 24.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 22
8067O–AVR–06/2013

11.3 Clock Options
The clock sources are divided in two main groups: internal oscillators and external clock sources. Most of the clock
sources can be directly enabled and disabled from software, while others are automatically enabled or disabled,
depending on peripheral settings. After reset, the device starts up running from the 2MHz internal oscillator. The other
clock sources and PLL are turned off by default.
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. For details on characteristics and accuracy of the
internal oscillators, refer to the device datasheet.
11.3.1 32 kHz Ultra Low Power Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32kHz clock. The 32kHz ultra low power (ULP) internal oscillator is a very low
power clock source, and it is not designed for high accuracy. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler that provides a
1kHz output. The oscillator is automatically enabled/disabled when it is used as clock source for any part of the device.
This oscillator can be selected as the clock source for the RTC.

11.3.2 32.768 kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32.768kHz clock. It is calibrated during production to provide a default frequency
close to its nominal frequency. The calibration register can also be written from software for run-time calibration of the
oscillator frequency. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler, which provides both a 32.768kHz output and a 1.024kHz
output.
11.3.3 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator
A 32.768kHz crystal oscillator can be connected between the 1 and 2 pins and enables a dedicated low frequency
oscillator input circuit. A low power mode with reduced voltage swing on 2 is available. This oscillator can be used as a
clock source for the system clock and RTC.
11.3.4 0.4 - 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator
This oscillator can operate in four different modes optimized for different frequency ranges, all within 0.4 - 16MHz.
11.3.5 2 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 2MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator is a high frequency oscillator. It is calibrated during production to
provide a default frequency which is close to its nominal frequency. The oscillator can use the 32kHz Calibrated Internal
Oscillator or the 32kHz Crystal Oscillator as a source for calibrating the frequency run-time to compensate for
temperature and voltage drift hereby optimizing the accuracy of the oscillator.
11.3.6 32 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 32MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator is a high frequency oscillator. It is calibrated during production to
provide a default frequency which is close to its nominal frequency. The oscillator can use the 32kHz Calibrated Internal
Oscillator or the 32kHz Crystal Oscillator as a source for calibrating the frequency run-time to compensate for
temperature and voltage drift hereby optimizing the accuracy of the oscillator.
11.3.7 External Clock input
The XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins can be used to drive an external oscillator, either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator.
XTAL1 can be used as input for an external clock signal. The 1 and 2 pins is dedicated to driving a 32.768kHz crystal
oscillator.
11.3.8 PLL with Multiplication factor 1 - 31x
The built-in phase locked loop (PLL) can be used to generate a high-frequency system clock. The PLL has a userselectable
multiplication factor of from 1 to 31. In combination with the prescalers, this gives a wide range of output
frequencies from all clock sources.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 24

12. Power Management and Sleep Modes
12.1 Features
Power management for adjusting power consumption and functions
5 sleep modes
Idle
Power-down
Power-save
Standby
Extended standby
Power reduction register to disable clock and turn off unused peripherals in active and idle modes
12.2 Overview
Various sleep modes and clock gating are provided in order to tailor power consumption to application requirements.
This enables the Atmel AVR XMEGA microcontroller to stop unused modules to save power.
All sleep modes are available and can be entered from active mode. In active mode, the CPU is executing application
code. When the device enters sleep mode, program execution is stopped and interrupts or a reset is used to wake the
device again. The application code decides which sleep mode to enter and when. Interrupts from enabled peripherals
and all enabled reset sources can restore the microcontroller from sleep to active mode.
In addition, power reduction registers provide a method to stop the clock to individual peripherals from software. When
this is done, the current state of the peripheral is frozen, and there is no power consumption from that peripheral. This
reduces the power consumption in active mode and idle sleep modes and enables much more fine-tuned power
management than sleep modes alone.
12.3 Sleep Modes
Sleep modes are used to shut down modules and clock domains in the microcontroller in order to save power. XMEGA
microcontrollers have five different sleep modes tuned to match the typical functional stages during application
execution. A dedicated sleep instruction (SLEEP) is available to enter sleep mode. Interrupts are used to wake the
device from sleep, and the available interrupt wake-up sources are dependent on the configured sleep mode. When an
enabled interrupt occurs, the device will wake up and execute the interrupt service routine before continuing normal
program execution from the first instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If other, higher priority interrupts are pending
when the wake-up occurs, their interrupt service routines will be executed according to their priority before the interrupt
service routine for the wake-up interrupt is executed. After wake-up, the CPU is halted for four cycles before execution
starts.
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers are kept during sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep, the device will
reset, start up, and execute from the reset vector.
12.3.1 Idle Mode
In idle mode the CPU and nonvolatile memory are stopped (note that any ongoing programming will be completed), but
all peripherals, including the interrupt controller, event system and DMA controller are kept running. Any enabled
interrupt will wake the device.
12.3.2 Power-down Mode
In power-down mode, all clocks, including the real-time counter clock source, are stopped. This allows operation only of
asynchronous modules that do not require a running clock. The only interrupts that can wake up the MCU are the twowire
interface address match interrupt and asynchronous port interrupts, e.g pin change.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 25
8067O–AVR–06/2013
12.3.3 Power-save Mode
Power-save mode is identical to power down, with one exception. If the real-time counter (RTC) is enabled, it will keep
running during sleep, and the device can also wake up from either an RTC overflow or compare match interrupt.
12.3.4 Standby Mode
Standby mode is identical to power down, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are kept running
while the CPU, peripheral, and RTC clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time.
12.3.5 Extended Standby Mode
Extended standby mode is identical to power-save mode, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are
kept running while the CPU and peripheral clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 26
8067O–AVR–06/2013
13. System Control and Reset
13.1 Features
Multiple reset sources for safe operation and device reset
Power-On Reset
External Reset
Watchdog Reset
Brown-Out Reset
PDI reset
Software reset
Asynchronous reset
No running clock in the device is required for reset
Reset status register
13.2 Overview
The reset system issues a microcontroller reset and sets the device to its initial state. This is for situations where
operation should not start or continue, such as when the microcontroller operates below its power supply rating. If a reset
source goes active, the device enters and is kept in reset until all reset sources have released their reset. The I/O pins
are immediately tri-stated. The program counter is set to the reset vector location, and all I/O registers are set to their
initial values. The SRAM content is kept. However, if the device accesses the SRAM when a reset occurs, the content of
the accessed location can not be guaranteed.
After reset is released from all reset sources, the default oscillator is started and calibrated before the device starts
running from the reset vector address. By default, this is the lowest program memory address, 0, but it is possible to
move the reset vector to the lowest address in the boot section.
The reset functionality is asynchronous, and so no running system clock is required to reset the device. The software
reset feature makes it possible to issue a controlled system reset from the user software.
The reset status register has individual status flags for each reset source. It is cleared at power-on reset, and shows
which sources have issued a reset since the last power-on.
13.3 Reset Sequence
A reset request from any reset source will immediately reset the device and keep it in reset as long as the request is
active. When all reset requests are released, the device will go through three stages before the device starts running
again:
Reset counter delay
Oscillator startup
Oscillator calibration
If another reset requests occurs during this process, the reset sequence will start over again.
13.4 Reset Sources
13.4.1 Power-On Reset
TA power-on reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the VCC rises and
reaches the POR threshold voltage (VPOT), and this will start the reset sequence.
The POR is also activated to power down the device properly when the VCC falls and drops below the VPOT level.
The VPOT level is higher for falling VCC than for rising VCC. Consult the datasheet for POR characteristics data.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 27
8067O–AVR–06/2013
13.4.2 Brownout Detection
The on-chip brownout detection (BOD) circuit monitors the VCC level during operation by comparing it to a fixed,
programmable level that is selected by the BODLEVEL fuses. If disabled, BOD is forced on at the lowest level during chip
erase and when the PDI is enabled.
13.4.3 External Reset
The external reset circuit is connected to the external RESET pin. The external reset will trigger when the RESET pin is
driven below the RESET pin threshold voltage, VRST, for longer than the minimum pulse period, tEXT. The reset will be
held as long as the pin is kept low. The RESET pin includes an internal pull-up resistor.
13.4.4 Watchdog Reset
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is not reset from
the software within a programmable timeout period, a watchdog reset will be given. The watchdog reset is active for one
to two clock cycles of the 2MHz internal oscillator. For more details see “WDT - Watchdog Timer” on page 28.
13.4.5 Software reset
The software reset makes it possible to issue a system reset from software by writing to the software reset bit in the reset
control register.The reset will be issued within two CPU clock cycles after writing the bit. It is not possible to execute any
instruction from when a software reset is requested until it is issued.
13.4.6 Program and Debug Interface Reset
The program and debug interface reset contains a separate reset source that is used to reset the device during external
programming and debugging. This reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 28
8067O–AVR–06/2013
13.5 WDT - Watchdog Timer
13.5.1 Features
Issues a device reset if the timer is not reset before its timeout period
Asynchronous operation from dedicated oscillator
1kHz output of the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator
11 selectable timeout periods, from 8ms to 8s
Two operation modes:
Normal mode
Window mode
Configuration lock to prevent unwanted changes
13.6 Overview
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. It makes it possible to recover
from error situations such as runaway or deadlocked code. The WDT is a timer, configured to a predefined timeout
period, and is constantly running when enabled. If the WDT is not reset within the timeout period, it will issue a
microcontroller reset. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR (watchdog timer reset) instruction from the application
code.
The window mode makes it possible to define a time slot or window inside the total timeout period during which WDT
must be reset. If the WDT is reset outside this window, either too early or too late, a system reset will be issued.
Compared to the normal mode, this can also catch situations where a code error causes constant WDR execution.
The WDT will run in active mode and all sleep modes, if enabled. It is asynchronous, runs from a CPU-independent clock
source, and will continue to operate to issue a system reset even if the main clocks fail.
The configuration change protection mechanism ensures that the WDT settings cannot be changed by accident. For
increased safety, a fuse for locking the WDT settings is also available.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 29
8067O–AVR–06/2013
14. Interrupts and Programmable Multilevel Interrupt Controller
14.1 Features
Short and predictable interrupt response time
Separate interrupt configuration and vector address for each interrupt
Programmable multilevel interrupt controller
Interrupt prioritizing according to level and vector address
Three selectable interrupt levels for all interrupts: low, medium and high
Selectable, round-robin priority scheme within low-level interrupts
Non-maskable interrupts for critical functions
Interrupt vectors optionally placed in the application section or the boot loader section
14.2 Overview
Interrupts signal a change of state in peripherals, and this can be used to alter program execution. Peripherals can have
one or more interrupts, and all are individually enabled and configured. When an interrupt is enabled and configured, it
will generate an interrupt request when the interrupt condition is present. The programmable multilevel interrupt
controller (PMIC) controls the handling and prioritizing of interrupt requests. When an interrupt request is acknowledged
by the PMIC, the program counter is set to point to the interrupt vector, and the interrupt handler can be executed.
All peripherals can select between three different priority levels for their interrupts: low, medium, and high. Interrupts are
prioritized according to their level and their interrupt vector address. Medium-level interrupts will interrupt low-level
interrupt handlers. High-level interrupts will interrupt both medium- and low-level interrupt handlers. Within each level, the
interrupt priority is decided from the interrupt vector address, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the highest
interrupt priority. Low-level interrupts have an optional round-robin scheduling scheme to ensure that all interrupts are
serviced within a certain amount of time.
Non-maskable interrupts (NMI) are also supported, and can be used for system critical functions.
14.3 Interrupt vectors
The interrupt vector is the sum of the peripheral’s base interrupt address and the offset address for specific interrupts in
each peripheral. The base addresses for the Atmel AVR XMEGA A1U devices are shown in Table 14-1. Offset
addresses for each interrupt available in the peripheral are described for each peripheral in the XMEGA AU manual. For
peripherals or modules that have only one interrupt, the interrupt vector is shown in Table 14-1. The program address is
the word address.

15.2 Overview
One port consists of up to eight port pins: pin 0 to 7. Each port pin can be configured as input or output with configurable
driver and pull settings. They also implement synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts and events for
selectable pin change conditions. Asynchronous pin-change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from
all sleep modes, included the modes where no clocks are running.
All functions are individual and configurable per pin, but several pins can be configured in a single operation. The pins
have hardware read-modify-write (RMW) functionality for safe and correct change of drive value and/or pull resistor
configuration. The direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other
pin.
The port pin configuration also controls input and output selection of other device functions. It is possible to have both the
peripheral clock and the real-time clock output to a port pin, and available for external use. The same applies to events
from the event system that can be used to synchronize and control external functions. Other digital peripherals, such as
USART, SPI, and timer/counters, can be remapped to selectable pin locations in order to optimize pin-out versus
application needs.
The notation of these ports are PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, PORTD, PORTE, PORTF, PORTH, PORTJ, PORTK, PORTQ

15.4 Input sensing
Input sensing is synchronous or asynchronous depending on the enabled clock for the ports, and the configuration is
shown in Figure 15-7 on page 35.
Figure 15-7. Input sensing system overview
When a pin is configured with inverted I/O the pin value is inverted before the input sensing.
15.5 Port Interrupt
Each ports have two interrupts with seperate priority and interrupt vector. All pins on the port can be individually selected
as source for each of the interrupts. The interrupts are then triggered according to the input sense configuration for each
pin configured as source for the interrupt.
15.6 Alternate Port Functions
In addition to the input/output functions on all port pins, most pins have alternate functions. This means that other
modules or peripherals connected to the port can use the port pins for their functions, such as communication or pulsewidth
modulation. “Pinout and Pin Functions” on page 55 shows which modules on peripherals that enables alternate
functions on a pin, and what alternate functions that is available on a pin.

16.2 Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA devices have a set of eight flexible 16-bit timer/counters (TC). Their capabilities include accurate
program execution timing, frequency and waveform generation, and input capture with time and frequency measurement
of digital signals. Two timer/counters can be cascaded to create a 32-bit timer/counter with optional 32-bit capture.
A timer/counter consists of a base counter and a set of compare or capture (CC) channels. The base counter can be
used to count clock cycles or events. It has direction control and period setting that can be used for timing. The CC
channels can be used together with the base counter to do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse
width waveform modulation, as well as various input capture operations. A timer/counter can be configured for either
capture or compare functions, but cannot perform both at the same time.
A timer/counter can be clocked and timed from the peripheral clock with optional prescaling or from the event system.
The event system can also be used for direction control and capture trigger or to synchronize operations.
There are two differences between timer/counter type 0 and type 1. Timer/counter 0 has four CC channels, and
timer/counter 1 has two CC channels. All information related to CC channels 3 and 4 is valid only for timer/counter 0.
Only Timer/Counter 0 has the split mode feature that split it into 2 8-bit Timer/Counters with four compare channels each.
Some timer/counters have extensions to enable more specialized waveform and frequency generation. The advanced
waveform extension (AWeX) is intended for motor control and other power control applications. It enables low- and highside
output with dead-time insertion, as well as fault protection for disabling and shutting down external drivers. It can
also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the port pins.
The advanced waveform extension can be enabled to provide extra and more advanced features for the Timer/Counter.
This is only available for Timer/Counter 0. See “AWeX - Advanced Waveform Extension” on page 38 for more details.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 37
8067O–AVR–06/2013
The high-resolution (hi-res) extension can be used to increase the waveform output resolution by four or eight times by
using an internal clock source running up to four times faster than the peripheral clock. See “Hi-Res - High Resolution
Extension” on page 39 for more details.

17.2 Overview
The advanced waveform extension (AWeX) provides extra functions to the timer/counter in waveform generation (WG)
modes. It is primarily intended for use with different types of motor control and other power control applications. It
enables low- and high side output with dead-time insertion and fault protection for disabling and shutting down external
drivers. It can also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the port pins.
Each of the waveform generator outputs from the Timer/Counter 0 are split into a complimentary pair of outputs when
any AWeX features are enabled. These output pairs go through a dead-time insertion (DTI) unit that generates the noninverted
low side (LS) and inverted high side (HS) of the WG output with dead-time insertion between LS and HS
switching. The DTI output will override the normal port value according to the port override setting.
The pattern generation unit can be used to generate a synchronized bit pattern on the port it is connected to. In addition,
the WG output from compare channel A can be distributed to and override all the port pins. When the pattern generator
unit is enabled, the DTI unit is bypassed.
The fault protection unit is connected to the event system, enabling any event to trigger a fault condition that will disable
the AWeX output. The event system ensures predictable and instant fault reaction, and gives great flexibility in the
selection of fault triggers.
The AWeX is available for TCC0 and TCE0. The notation of these are AWEXC and AWEXE.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 39

18.1 Features
Increases Waveform Generator resolution by 2-bits (4x)
Supports Frequency, single- and dual-slope PWM operation
Supports the AWeX when this is enabled and used for the same Timer/Counter
18.2 Overview
TThe high-resolution (hi-res) extension can be used to increase the resolution of the waveform generation output from a
timer/counter by four or eight. It can be used for a timer/counter doing frequency, single-slope PWM, or dual-slope PWM
generation. It can also be used with the AWeX if this is used for the same timer/counter.
The hi-res extension uses the peripheral 4x clock (ClkPER4). The system clock prescalers must be configured so the
peripheral 4x clock frequency is four times higher than the peripheral and CPU clock frequency when the hi-res extension
is enabled.
There are four hi-res extensions that each can be enabled for each timer/counters pair on PORTC, PORTD, PORTE and
PORTF. The notation of these peripherals are HIRESC, HIRESD, HIRESE and HIRESF, respectively.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 40

19.2 Overview
The 16-bit real-time counter (RTC) is a counter that typically runs continuously, including in low-power sleep modes, to
keep track of time. It can wake up the device from sleep modes and/or interrupt the device at regular intervals.
The reference clock is typically the 1.024kHz output from a high-accuracy crystal of 32.768kHz, and this is the
configuration most optimized for low power consumption. The faster 32.768kHz output can be selected if the RTC needs
a resolution higher than 1ms. The RTC can also be clocked from an external clock signal, the 32.768kHz internal
oscillator or the 32kHz internal ULP oscillator.
The RTC includes a 10-bit programmable prescaler that can scale down the reference clock before it reaches the
counter. A wide range of resolutions and time-out periods can be configured. With a 32.768kHz clock source, the
maximum resolution is 30.5µs, and time-out periods can range up to 2000 seconds. With a resolution of 1s, the
maximum timeout period is more than18 hours (65536 seconds). The RTC can give a compare interrupt and/or event
when the counter equals the compare register value, and an overflow interrupt and/or event when it equals the period
register value.

20.2 Overview
The two-wire interface (TWI) is a bidirectional, two-wire communication interface. It is I2C and System Management Bus
(SMBus) compatible. The only external hardware needed to implement the bus is one pull-up resistor on each bus line.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or a slave. The master initiates a data transaction by addressing a
slave on the bus and telling whether it wants to transmit or receive data. One bus can have many slaves and one or
several masters that can take control of the bus. An arbitration process handles priority if more than one master tries to
transmit data at the same time. Mechanisms for resolving bus contention are inherent in the protocol.
The TWI module supports master and slave functionality. The master and slave functionality are separated from each
other, and can be enabled and configured separately. The master module supports multi-master bus operation and
arbitration. It contains the baud rate generator. Both 100kHz and 400kHz bus frequency is supported. Quick command
and smart mode can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce software complexity.
The slave module implements 7-bit address match and general address call recognition in hardware. 10-bit addressing is
also supported. A dedicated address mask register can act as a second address match register or as a register for
address range masking. The slave continues to operate in all sleep modes, including power-down mode. This enables
the slave to wake up the device from all sleep modes on TWI address match. It is possible to disable the address
matching to let this be handled in software instead.
The TWI module will detect START and STOP conditions, bus collisions, and bus errors. Arbitration lost, errors, collision,
and clock hold on the bus are also detected and indicated in separate status flags available in both master and slave
modes. [Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 42
8067O–AVR–06/2013
It is possible to disable the TWI drivers in the device, and enable a four-wire digital interface for connecting to an external
TWI bus driver. This can be used for applications where the device operates from a different VCC voltage than used by
the TWI bus.
PORTC, PORTD, PORTE, and PORTF each has one TWI. Notation of these peripherals are TWIC, TWID, TWIE, and
TWIF.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 43

microcontrollers. The SPI supports full-duplex communication.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or slave. The master initiates and controls all data transactions.

IRCOM module for IrDA compliant pulse modulation/demodulation
22.2 Overview
The universal synchronous and asynchronous serial receiver and transmitter (USART) is a fast and flexible serial
communication module. The USART supports full-duplex communication and asynchronous and synchronous operation.
The USART can be configured to operate in SPI master mode and used for SPI communication.
Communication is frame based, and the frame format can be customized to support a wide range of standards. The
USART is buffered in both directions, enabling continued data transmission without any delay between frames. Separate
interrupts for receive and transmit complete enable fully interrupt driven communication. Frame error and buffer overflow
are detected in hardware and indicated with separate status flags. Even or odd parity generation and parity check can
also be enabled.
The clock generator includes a fractional baud rate generator that is able to generate a wide range of USART baud rates
from any system clock frequencies. This removes the need to use an external crystal oscillator with a specific frequency
to achieve a required baud rate. It also supports external clock input in synchronous slave operation.
When the USART is set in master SPI mode, all USART-specific logic is disabled, leaving the transmit and receive
buffers, shift registers, and baud rate generator enabled. Pin control and interrupt generation are identical in both modes.
The registers are used in both modes, but their functionality differs for some control settings.
An IRCOM module can be enabled for one USART to support IrDA 1.4 physical compliant pulse modulation and
demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2Kbps.
PORTC, PORTD, PORTE, and PORTF each has two USARTs. Notation of these peripherals are USARTC0, USARTC1,
USARTD0, USARTD1, USARTE0, USARTE1, USARTF0 and USARTF1.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 45

Encryption/decryption in 375 clock cycles per 16-byte block
24.2 Overview
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) are two commonly used standards for
cryptography. These are supported through an AES peripheral module and a DES CPU instruction, and the
communication interfaces and the CPU can use these for fast, encrypted communication and secure data storage.
DES is supported by an instruction in the AVR CPU. The 8-byte key and 8-byte data blocks must be loaded into the
register file, and then the DES instruction must be executed 16 times to encrypt/decrypt the data block.
The AES crypto module encrypts and decrypts 128-bit data blocks with the use of a 128-bit key. The key and data must
be loaded into the key and state memory in the module before encryption/decryption is started. It takes 375 peripheral
clock cycles before the encryption/decryption is done. The encrypted/encrypted data can then be read out, and an
optional interrupt can be generated. The AES crypto module also has DMA support with transfer triggers when
encryption/decryption is done and optional auto-start of encryption/decryption when the state memory is fully loaded.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 47

Software configurable wait state insertion
Can run from the 2x peripheral clock frequency for fast access
25.2 Overview
The External Bus Interface (EBI) is used to connect external peripherals and memory for access through the data
memory space. When the EBI is enabled, data address space outside the internal SRAM becomes available using
dedicated EBI pins.
The EBI can interface external SRAM, SDRAM, and peripherals, such as LCD displays and other memory mapped
devices.
The address space for the external memory is selectable from 256 bytes (8-bit) up to 16MB (24-bit). Various multiplexing
modes for address and data lines can be selected for optimal use of pins when more or fewer pins are available for the
EBI. The complete memory will be mapped into one linear data address space continuing from the end of the internal
SRAM.
The EBI has four chip selects, each with separate configuration. Each can be configured for SRAM, SRAM low pin count
(LPC), or SDRAM.
The EBI is clocked from the fast, 2x peripheral clock, running up to two times faster than the CPU.
Four-bit and eight-bit SDRAM are supported, and SDRAM configurations, such as CAS latency and refresh rate, are
configurable in software.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 48

Interrupt/Event on compare result
26.2 Overview
XMEGA A1 devices have two Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), see Figure 26-1 on page 49. The two ADC modules
can be operated simultaneously, individually or synchronized.
The ADC converts analog voltages to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable of converting up to 2
million samples per second. The input selection is flexible, and both single-ended and differential measurements can be
done. For differential measurements an optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition
several internal signal inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
This is a pipeline ADC. A pipeline ADC consists of several consecutive stages, where each stage convert one part of the
result. The pipeline design enables high sample rate at low clock speeds, and remove limitations on samples speed
versus propagation delay. This also means that a new analog voltage can be sampled and a new ADC measurement
started while other ADC measurements are ongoing.
ADC measurements can either be started by application software or an incoming event from another peripheral in the
device. Four different result registers with individual input selection (MUX selection) are provided to make it easier for the
application to keep track of the data. Each result register and MUX selection pair is referred to as an ADC Channel. It is
possible to use DMA to move ADC results directly to memory or peripherals when conversions are done.
Both internal and external analog reference voltages can be used. An accurate internal 1.0V reference is available.
An integrated temperature sensor is available and the output from this can be measured with the ADC. The output from
the DAC, VCC/10 and the Bandgap voltage can also be measured by the ADC.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 49
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Figure 26-1. ADC overview
Each ADC has four MUX selection registers with a corresponding result register. This means that four channels can be
sampled within 1.5 µs without any intervention by the application other than starting the conversion. The results will be
available in the result registers.
The ADC may be configured for 8- or 12-bit result, reducing the minimum conversion time (propagation delay) from 3.5
µs for 12-bit to 2.5 µs for 8-bit result.
ADC conversion results are provided left- or right adjusted with optional ‘1’ or ‘0’ padding. This eases calculation when
the result is represented as a signed integer (signed 16-bit number).
PORTA and PORTB each has one ADC. Notation of these peripherals are ADCA and ADCB, respectively.

page 50.
A DAC converts a digital value into an analog signal. The DAC may use an internal 1.0 voltage as the upper limit for
conversion, but it is also possible to use the supply voltage or any applied voltage in-between. The external reference
input is shared with the ADC reference input.

28.2 Overview
The analog comparator (AC) compares the voltage levels on two inputs and gives a digital output based on this
comparison. The analog comparator may be configured to generate interrupt requests and/or events upon several
different combinations of input change.
Two important properties of the analog comparator’s dynamic behavior are: hysteresis and propagation delay. Both of
these parameters may be adjusted in order to achieve the optimal operation for each application.
The input selection includes analog port pins, several internal signals, and a 64-level programmable voltage scaler. The
analog comparator output state can also be output on a pin for use by external devices.
A constant current source can be enabled and output on a selectable pin. This can be used to replace, for example,
external resistors used to charge capacitors in capacitive touch sensing applications.
The analog comparators are always grouped in pairs on each port. These are called analog comparator 0 (AC0) and
analog comparator 1 (AC1). They have identical behavior, but separate control registers. Used as pair, they can be set in
window mode to compare a signal to a voltage range instead of a voltage level.
PORTA and PORTB each has one AC pair. Notations are ACA and ACB, respectively.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 53

29.2 Overview
The Program and Debug Interface (PDI) is an Atmel proprietary interface for external programming and on-chip
debugging of a device.
The PDI supports fast programming of nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces; flash, EEPOM, fuses, lock bits, and the user
signature row.
Debug is supported through an on-chip debug system that offers nonintrusive, real-time debug. It does not require any
software or hardware resources except for the device pin connection. Using the Atmel tool chain, it offers complete
program flow control and support for an unlimited number of program and complex data breakpoints. Application debug
can be done from a C or other high-level language source code level, as well as from an assembler and disassembler
level.
Programming and debugging can be done through two physical interfaces. The primary one is the PDI physical layer,
which is available on all devices. This is a two-pin interface that uses the Reset pin for the clock input (PDI_CLK) and one
other dedicated pin for data input and output (PDI_DATA). A JTAG interface is also available on most devices, and this
can be used for programming and debugging through the four-pin JTAG interface. The JTAG interface is IEEE Std.
1149.1 compliant, and supports boundary scan. Any external programmer or on-chip debugger/emulator can be directly
connected to either of these interfaces. Unless otherwise stated, all references to the PDI assume access through the
PDI physical layer.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 55

1. Bandgap voltage input for the ACs cannot be changed when used for both ACs simultaneously
If the Bandgap voltage is selected as input for one Analog Comparator (AC) and then selected/deselected as input
for another AC, the first comparator will be affected for up to 1 µs and could potentially give a wrong comparison
result.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the Bandgap is required for both ACs simultaneously, configure the input selection for both ACs before enabling
any of them.
2. VCC voltage scaler for AC is non-linear
The 6-bit VCC voltage scaler in the Analog Comparators is non-linear.

Problem fix/Workaround
Use external voltage input for the analog comparator if accurate voltage levels are needed
3. The ADC has up to ±2 LSB inaccuracy
The ADC will have up to ±2 LSB inaccuracy, visible as a saw-tooth pattern on the input voltage/ output value transfer
function of the ADC. The inaccuracy increases with increasing voltage reference reaching ±2 LSB with 3V
reference.

Problem fix/Workaround
None, the actual ADC resolution will be reduced with up to ±2 LSB.
4. ADC gain stage output range is limited to 2.4 V
The amplified output of the ADC gain stage will never go above 2.4 V, hence the differential input will only give correct
output when below 2.4 V/gain. For the available gain settings, this gives a differential input range of:
Problem fix/Workaround
Keep the amplified voltage output from the ADC gain stage below 2.4 V in order to get a correct result, or keep
ADC voltage reference below 2.4 V.
5. Sampling speed limited to 500 ksps for supply voltage below 2.0V
The sampling frequency is limited to 500 ksps for supply voltage below 2.0V. At higher sampling rate the INL error
will be several hundred LSB.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
6. ADC Event on compare match non-functional
ADC signalling event will be given at every conversion complete even if Interrupt mode (INTMODE) is set to
BELOW or ABOVE.
Problem fix/Workaround
Enable and use interrupt on compare match when using the compare function.
7. Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V
The ADC can not be used to do bandgap measurements when VCC is below 2.7V.

– 64x gain: 38 mV[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 99
8067O–AVR–06/2013
None.
8. Accuracy lost on first three samples after switching input to ADC gain stage
Due to memory effect in the ADC gain stage, the first three samples after changing input channel must be disregarded
to achieve 12-bit accuracy.
Problem fix/Workaround
Run three ADC conversions and discard these results after changing input channels to ADC gain stage.
9. The input difference between two succeeding ADC samples is limited by VREF
If the difference in input between two samples changes more than the size of the reference, the ADC will not be
able to convert the data correctly. Two conversions will be required before the conversion is correct.
Problem fix/Workaround
Discard the first conversion if input is changed more than VREF, or ensure that the input never changes more then
VREF.
10. Increased noise when using internal 1.0V reference at low temperature
When operating at below 0C and using internal 1.0V reference the RMS noise will be up 4 LSB, Peak-to-peak
noise up to 25 LSB.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use averaging to remove noise.
11. Configuration of PGM and CWCM not as described in XMEGA A Manual
Enabling Common Waveform Channel Mode will enable Pattern generation mode (PGM), but not Common Waveform
Channel Mode.
Enabling Pattern Generation Mode (PGM) and not Common Waveform Channel Mode (CWCM) will enable both
Pattern Generation Mode and Common Waveform Channel Mode.
Problem fix/Workaround
12 PWM is not restarted properly after a fault in cycle-by-cycle mode
When the AWeX fault restore mode is set to cycle-by-cycle, the waveform output will not return to normal operation
at first update after fault condition is no longer present.
PGM CWCM Description

1 1 PGM enabled[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 100
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Problem fix/Workaround
Do a write to any AWeX I/O register to re-enable the output.
13. BOD will be enabled after any reset
If any reset source goes active, the BOD will be enabled and keep the device in reset if the VCC voltage is below
the programmed BOD level. During Power-On Reset, reset will not be released until VCC is above the programmed
BOD level even if the BOD is disabled.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not set the BOD level higher than VCC even if the BOD is not used.
14. BODACT fuse location is not correct
The fuses for enabling BOD in active mode (BODACT) are located at FUSEBYTE2, bit 2 and 3 and not in FUSEBYTE
5 as described in the XMEGA A Manual.
Problem fix/Workaround
Access the fuses in FUSEBYTE2.
15. Sampled BOD in Active mode will cause noise when bandgap is used as reference
Using the BOD in sampled mode when the device is running in Active or Idle mode will add noise on the bandgap
reference for ADC, DAC and Analog Comparator.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the bandgap is used as reference for either the ADC, DAC or Analog Comparator, the BOD must not be set in
sampled mode.
16. DAC has up to ±10 LSB noise in Sampled Mode
The DAC has noise of up to ±10 LSB in Sampled Mode for entire operation range.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use the DAC in continuous mode.
17. DAC is nonlinear and inaccurate when reference is above 2.4V or VCC - 0.6V
Using the DAC with a reference voltage above 2.4V or VCC - 0.6V will give inaccurate output when converting
codes that give below 0.75V output:
±10 LSB for continuous mode
±200 LSB for Sample and Hold mode
Problem fix/Workaround
None.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 101
8067O–AVR–06/2013
18. DAC has up to ±10 LSB noise in Sampled Mode
If the DAC is running in Sample and Hold (S/H) mode and conversion for one channel is done at maximum rate
(i.e. the DAC is always busy doing conversion for this channel), this will block refresh signals to the second channel.
Problem fix/Workaround
When using the DAC in S/H mode, ensure that none of the channels is running at maximum conversion rate, or
ensure that the conversion rate of both channels is high enough to not require refresh.
19. Conversion lost on DAC channel B in event triggered mode
If during dual channel operation channel 1 is set in auto trigged conversion mode, channel 1 conversions are occasionally
lost. This means that not all data-values written to the Channel 1 data register are converted.
Problem fix/Workaround
Keep the DAC conversion interval in the range 000-001 (1 and 3 CLK), and limit the Peripheral clock frequency so
the conversion internal never is shorter than 1.5 µs.
20. Both DFLLs and both oscillators have to be enabled for one to work
In order to use the automatic runtime calibration for the 2 MHz or the 32 MHz internal oscillators, the DFLL for both
oscillators and both oscillators have to be enabled for one to work.
Problem fix/Workaround
Enable both DFLLs and both oscillators when using automatic runtime calibration for either of the internal
oscillators.
21. Access error when multiple bus masters are accessing SDRAM
If one bus master (CPU and DMA channels) is using the EBI to access an SDRAM in burst mode and another bus
master is accessing the same row number in a different BANK of the SDRAM in the cycle directly after the burst
access is complete, the access for the second bus master will fail.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not put stack pointer in SDRAM and use DMA Controller in 1 byte burst mode if CPU and DMA Controller are
required to access SDRAM at the same time.
22. EEPROM page buffer always written when NVM DATA0 is written
If the EEPROM is memory mapped, writing to NVM DATA0 will corrupt data in the EEPROM page buffer.
Problem fix/Workaround
Before writing to NVM DATA0, for example when doing software CRC or flash page buffer write, check if EEPROM
page buffer active loading flag (EELOAD) is set. Do not write NVM DATA0 when EELOAD is set.
23. Pending full asynchronous pin change interrupts will not wake the device[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 102
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Any full asynchronous pin-change Interrupt from pin 2, on any port, that is pending when the sleep instruction is
executed, will be ignored until the device is woken from another source or the source triggers again. This applies
when entering all sleep modes where the System Clock is stopped.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
24. Pin configuration does not affect Analog Comparator Output
The Output/Pull and inverted pin configuration does not affect the Analog Comparator output function.
Problem fix/Workaround
None for Output/Pull configuration.
For inverted I/O, configure the Analog Comparator to give an inverted result (i.e. connect positive input to the negative
AC input and vice versa), or use and external inverter to change polarity of Analog Comparator output.
25. Low level interrupt triggered when pin input is disabled
If a pin input is disabled, but pin is configured to trigger on low level, interrupt request will be sent.
Problem fix/Workaround
Ensure that Interrupt mask for the disabled pin is cleared.
26. JTAG enable does not override Analog Comparator B output
When JTAG is enabled this will not override the Analog Comparator B (ACB) output, AC0OUT on pin 7 if this is
enabled.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use Analog Comparator output for ACA when JTAG is used, or use the PDI as debug interface.
27. NMI Flag for Crystal Oscillator Failure automatically cleared
NMI flag for Crystal Oscillator Failure (XOSCFDIF) will be automatically cleared when executing the NMI interrupt
handler.
Problem fix/Workaround
This device revision has only one NMI interrupt source, so checking the interrupt source in software is not
required.
28. Flash Power Reduction Mode can not be enabled when entering sleep
If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when entering Power-save or Extended Standby sleep mode, the
device will only wake up on every fourth wake-up request. If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when entering
Idle sleep mode, the wake-up time will vary with up to 16 CPU clock cycles.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 103
8067O–AVR–06/2013
Problem fix/Workaround
Disable Flash Power Reduction mode before entering sleep mode.
29. Some NVM Commands are non-functional
The following NVM commands are non-functional:
Problem fix/Workaround
None for Flash Range CRC
Use separate programming commands for accessing application and boot section.
30. Crystal start-up time required after power-save even if crystal is source for RTC
Even if 32.768 kHz crystal is used for RTC during sleep, the clock from the crystal will not be ready for the system
before the specified start-up time. See "XOSCSEL[3:0]: Crystal Oscillator Selection" in XMEGA A Manual. If BOD
is used in active mode, the BOD will be on during this period (0.5s).
Problem fix/Workaround
If faster start-up is required, go to sleep with internal oscillator as system clock.
31. Setting PRHIRES bit makes PWM output unavailable
Setting the HIRES Power Reduction (PR) bit for PORTx will make any Frequency or PWM output for the corresponding
Timer/Counters (TCx0 and TCx1) unavailable on the pin even if the Hi-Res is not used.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not write the HIRES PR bit on PORTx when frequency or PWM output from TCx0/1 is used.

8067O–AVR–06/2013
32. Accessing EBI address space with PREBI set will lock Bus Master
If EBI Power Reduction Bit is set while EBI is enabled, accessing external memory could result in bus hang-up,
blocking all further access to all data memory.
Problem fix/Workaround
Ensure that EBI is disabled before setting EBI Power Reduction bit.
33. RTC Counter value not correctly read after sleep
If the RTC is set to wake up the device on RTC Overflow and bit 0 of RTC CNT is identical to bit 0 of RTC PER as
the device is entering sleep, the value in the RTC count register can not be read correctly within the first prescaled
RTC clock cycle after wakeup. The value read will be the same as the value in the register when entering sleep.
The same applies if RTC Compare Match is used as wake-up source.
Problem fix/Workaround
Wait at least one prescaled RTC clock cycle before reading the RTC CNT value.
34. Pending asynchronous RTC-interrupts will not wake up device
Asynchronous Interrupts from the Real-Time-Counter that is pending when the sleep instruction is executed, will
be ignored until the device is woken from another source or the source triggers again.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
35. TWI, the minimum I2
C SCL low time could be violated in Master Read mode
If the TWI is in Master Read mode and issues a Repeated Start on the bus, this will immediately release the SCL
line even if one complete SCL low period has not passed. This means that the minimum SCL low time in the I2C
specification could be violated.
Problem fix/Workaround
If this is a problem in the application, ensure in software that the Repeated Start is never issued before one SCL
low time has passed.
36. TWI address-mask feature is non-functional
The address-mask feature is non-functional, so the TWI can not perform hardware address match on more than
one address.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the TWI must respond to multiple addresses, enable Promiscuous Mode for the TWI to respond to all address
and implement the address-mask function in software.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 105
8067O–AVR–06/2013
37. TWI, a general address call will match independent of the R/W-bit value
When the TWI is in Slave mode and a general address call is issued on the bus, the TWI Slave will get an address
match regardless of the received R/W bit.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use software to check the R/W-bit on general call address match.
38. TWI Transmit collision flag not cleared on repeated start
The TWI transmit collision flag should be automatically cleared on start and repeated start, but is only cleared on
start.
Problem fix/Workaround
Clear the flag in software after address interrupt.
39. Clearing TWI Stop Interrupt Flag may lock the bus
If software clears the STOP Interrupt Flag (APIF) on the same Peripheral Clock cycle as the hardware sets this
flag due to a new address received, CLKHOLD is not cleared and the SCL line is not released. This will lock the
bus.
Problem fix/Workaround
Check if the bus state is IDLE. If this is the case, it is safe to clear APIF. If the bus state is not IDLE, wait for the
SCL pin to be low before clearing APIF.
Code:
/* Only clear the interrupt flag if within a "safe zone". */
while ( /* Bus not IDLE: */
((COMMS_TWI.MASTER.STATUS & TWI_MASTER_BUSSTATE_gm) !=
TWI_MASTER_BUSSTATE_IDLE_gc)) &&
/* SCL not held by slave: */
!(COMMS_TWI.SLAVE.STATUS & TWI_SLAVE_CLKHOLD_bm)

40. TWI START condition at bus timeout will cause transaction to be dropped
If Bus Timeout is enabled and a timeout occurs on the same Peripheral Clock cycle as a START is detected, the
transaction will be dropped.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
41. TWI Data Interrupt Flag erroneously read as set
When issuing the TWI slave response command CMD=0b11, it takes 1 Peripheral Clock cycle to clear the data
interrupt flag (DIF). A read of DIF directly after issuing the command will show the DIF still set.
Problem fix/Workaround
Add one NOP instruction before checking DIF.
42. WDR instruction inside closed window will not issue reset
When a WDR instruction is execute within one ULP clock cycle after updating the window control register, the
counter can be cleared without giving a system reset.
Problem fix/Workaround
Wait at least one ULP clock cycle before executing a WDR instruction.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 107

DAC refresh may be blocked in S/H mode
Inverted I/O enable does not affect Analog Comparator Output
Both DFLLs and both oscillators has to be enabled for one to work
1. Bootloader Section in Flash is non-functional
The Bootloader Section is non-functional, and bootloader or application code cannot reside in this part of the
Flash.
Problem fix/Workaround
None, do not use the Bootloader Section.
2. Bandgap voltage input for the ACs cannot be changed when used for both ACs simultaneously
If the Bandgap voltage is selected as input for one Analog Comparator (AC) and then selected/deselected as input
for the another AC, the first comparator will be affected for up to 1 us and could potentially give a wrong comparison
result.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the Bandgap is required for both ACs simultaneously, configure the input selection for both ACs before enabling
any of them.
3. DAC is nonlinear and inaccurate when reference is above 2.4V
Using the DAC with a reference voltage above 2.4V give inaccurate output when converting codes that give below
0.75V output:
±20 LSB for continuous mode[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 108
8067O–AVR–06/2013
±200 LSB for Sample and Hold mode
Problem fix/Workaround
None, avoid using a voltage reference above 2.4V.
4. ADC gain stage output range is limited to 2.4 V
The amplified output of the ADC gain stage will never go above 2.4 V, hence the differential input will only give correct
output when below 2.4 V/gain. For the available gain settings, this gives a differential input range of:
Problem fix/Workaround
Keep the amplified voltage output from the ADC gain stage below 2.4 V in order to get a correct result, or keep
ADC voltage reference below 2.4 V.
5. The ADC has up to ±2 LSB inaccuracy
The ADC will have up to ±2 LSB inaccuracy, visible as a saw-tooth pattern on the input voltage/ output value transfer
function of the ADC. The inaccuracy increases with increasing voltage reference reaching ±2 LSB with 3V
reference.
Problem fix/Workaround
None, the actual ADC resolution will be reduced with up to ±2 LSB.
6. TWI, a general address call will match independent of the R/W-bit value
When the TWI is in Slave mode and a general address call is issued on the bus, the TWI Slave will get an address
match regardless of the R/W-bit (ADDR[0] bit) value in the Slave Address Register.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use software to check the R/W-bit on general call address match.

– 2x gain: 1.2 V
– 4x gain: 0.6 V
– 8x gain: 300 mV
– 16x gain: 150 mV
– 32x gain: 75 mV

8067O–AVR–06/2013
7. TWI, the minimum I2
C SCL low time could be violated in Master Read mode
When the TWI is in Master Read mode and issuing a Repeated Start on the bus, this will immediately release the
SCL line even if one complete SCL low period has not passed. This means that the minimum SCL low time in the
I
2
C specification could be violated.
Problem fix/Workaround
If this causes a potential problem in the application, software must ensure that the Repeated Start is never issued
before one SCL low time has passed.
8. Setting HIRES PR bit makes PWM output unavailable
Setting the HIRES Power Reduction (PR) bit for PORTx will make any Frequency or PWM output for the corresponding
Timer/Counters (TCx0 and TCx1) unavailable on the pin.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not write the HIRES PR bit on PORTx when frequency or PWM output from TCx0/1 is used.
9. EEPROM erase and write does not work with all System Clock sources
When doing EEPROM erase or Write operations with other clock sources than the 2 MHz RCOSC, Flash will be
read wrongly for one or two clock cycles at the end of the EEPROM operation.
Problem fix/Workaround
Alt 1: Use the internal 2 MHz RCOSC when doing erase or write operations on EEPROM.
Alt 2: Ensure to be in sleep mode while completing erase or write on EEPROM. After starting erase or write operations
on EEPROM, other interrupts should be disabled and the device put to sleep.
10. BOD will be enabled after any reset
If any reset source goes active, the BOD will be enabled and keep the device in reset if the VCC voltage is below
the programmed BOD level. During Power-On Reset, reset will not be released until VCC is above the programmed
BOD level even if the BOD is disabled.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not set the BOD level higher than VCC even if the BOD is not used.
11. Propagation delay analog Comparator increasing to 2 ms at -40 °C
When the analog comparator is used at temperatures reaching down to -40 °C, the propagation delay will increase
to ~2 ms.
Problem fix/Workaround
None[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 110
8067O–AVR–06/2013
12. Sampled BOD in Active mode will cause noise when bandgap is used as reference
Using the BOD in sampled mode when the device is running in Active or Idle mode will add noise on the bandgap
reference for ADC and DAC.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the bandgap is used as reference for either the ADC or the DAC, the BOD must not be set in sampled mode.
13. Default setting for SDRAM refresh period too low
If the SDRAM refresh period is set to a value less then 0x20, the SDRAM content may be corrupted when accessing
through On-Chip Debug sessions.
Problem fix/Workaround
The SDRAM refresh period (REFRESHH/L) should not be set to a value less then 0x20.
14. Flash Power Reduction Mode can not be enabled when entering sleep mode
If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when entering Power-save or Extended Standby sleep mode, the
device will only wake up on every fourth wake-up request.
If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when entering Idle sleep mode, the wake-up time will vary with up to 16
CPU clock cycles.
Problem fix/Workaround
Disable Flash Power Reduction mode before entering sleep mode.
15. JTAG enable does not override Analog Comparator B output
When JTAG is enabled this will not override the Anlog Comparator B (ACB)ouput, AC0OUT on pin 7 if this is
enabled.
Problem fix/Workaround
AC0OUT for ACB should not be enabled when JTAG is used. Use only analog comparator output for ACA when
JTAG is used, or use the PDI as debug interface.
16. Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V
The ADC cannot be used to do bandgap measurements when VCC is below 2.7V.
Problem fix/Workaround
If internal voltages must be measured when VCC is below 2.7V, measure the internal 1.00V reference instead of
the bandgap.[Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 111
8067O–AVR–06/2013
17. DAC refresh may be blocked in S/H mode
If the DAC is running in Sample and Hold (S/H) mode and conversion for one channel is done at maximum rate
(i.e. the DAC is always busy doing conversion for this channel), this will block refresh signals to the second channel.
Problem fix/Workarund
When using the DAC in S/H mode, ensure that none of the channels is running at maximum conversion rate, or
ensure that the conversion rate of both channels is high enough to not require refresh.
18. Inverted I/O enable does not affect Analog Comparator Output
The inverted I/O pin function does not affect the Analog Comparator output function.
Problem fix/Workarund
Configure the analog comparator setup to give a inverted result (i.e. connect positive input to the negative AC input
and vice versa), or use and externel inverter to change polarity of Analog Comparator Output.
19. Both DFLLs and both oscillators has to be enabled for one to work
In order to use the automatic runtime calibration for the 2 MHz or the 32 MHz internal oscilla-tors, the DFLL for
both oscillators and both oscillators has to be enabled for one to work.
Problem fix/Workarund
Enabled both DFLLs and oscillators when using automatic runtime calibration for one of the internal oscillators. [Not recommended for new designs - Use XMEGA A1U series] XMEGA A1 [DATASHEET] 112

3. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform
consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel
Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more.
Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards that are connected through
a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely
identify which boards are mounted on a Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant
user guides, application notes, datasheets and example code through Atmel Studio. Available Xplained Pro
MCU and extension boards can be purchased in the Atmel Web Store

.
3.1 Embedded Debugger
The SAM4S Xplained Pro contains the Atmel® Embedded Debugger (EDBG) for on-board debugging. The
EDBG is a composite USB device of 3 interfaces; a debugger, Virtual COM Port and Data Gateway Interface
(DGI).
In conjunction with Atmel Studio, the EDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATSAM4SD32C.
On the SAM4S Xplained Pro, the SWD interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATSAM4SD32C.
The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART port on the ATSAM4SD32C (see section “Embedded Debugger
implementation” on page 16 for pinout), and provides an easy way to communicate with the target
application through a simple terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity and stop bit settings. Note
that the settings on the target device UART must match the settings given in the terminal software.
The DGI consists of several physical data interfaces for communication with the host computer. Please,
see section “Embedded Debugger implementation” on page 16 for available interfaces and pinout.
Communication over the interfaces are bidirectional. It can be used to send events and values from the
ATSAM4SD32C, or as a generic printf-style data channel. Traffic over the interfaces can be timestamped on
the EDBG for more accurate tracing of events. Note that timestamping imposes an overhead that reduces
maximal throughput. The DGI uses a proprietary protocol, and is thus only compatible with Atmel Studio.
The EDBG controls two LEDs on SAM4S Xplained Pro, a power LED and a status LED. Table 3.1, “EDBG LED
control” shows how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes.
Table 3.1. EDBG LED control
Operation mode Power LED Status LED
Normal operation Power LED is lit when power is
applied to the board.
Activity indicator, LED flashes
every time something happens on
the EDBG.
Bootloader mode (idle) The power LED and the status LED blinks simultaneously.
Bootloader mode (firmware
upgrade)
The power LED and the status LED blinks in an alternating pattern.
For further documentation on the EDBG, see the EDBG User Guide.
3.2 Hardware identification system
All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 crypto authentication chip mounted.
This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an
Xplained Pro extension board is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent
to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code
examples and links to relevant documents. Table 3.2, “Xplained Pro ID chip content” shows the data fields
stored in the ID chip with example content.

3. Target USB
Note External power is required when the 500mA through the USB connector is not enough to power a
connected USB device in a USB host application.
3.3.1 Measuring SAM4S power consumption
As part of an evaluation of the SAM4S it can be of interest to measure its power consumption. Because the
device has a separate power plane (VCC_MCU_P3V3) on this board it is possible to measure the current
consumption by measuring the current that is flowing into this plane. The VCC_MCU_P3V3 plane is connected
via a jumper to the main power plane (VCC_TARGET_P3V3) and by replacing the jumper with an ampere
meter it is possible to determine the current consumption. To locate the current measurement header, please
refer to Figure 1.1, “SAM4S Xplained Pro evaluation kit overview”.
Warning Do not power the board without having the jumper or an ampere meter mounted. This can cause
the SAM4S to be powered through its I/O pins and cause undefined operation of the device.
3.4 Standard headers and connectors
3.4.1 Xplained Pro extension header
All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20 pin, 100mil extension headers. Xplained Pro MCU boards
have male headers while Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. Note that all pins are
not always connected. However, all the connected pins follow the defined pin-out described in Table 3.4,
“Xplained Pro extension header”. The extension headers can be used to connect a wide variety of Xplained ProAtmel SAM4S Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE]

4.2.6 Analog reference
An adjustable voltage reference is implemented on the kit to have a reference for the ADC or DAC. The
reference can be adjusted with the on-board multiturn trimmer potentiometer. Next to the potentiometer, a 2-pin
header is available to measure the reference voltage for the AREF pin of the SAM4S. The voltage output range
for the reference is 0V - 3.36V.
4.3 Embedded Debugger implementation
SAM4S Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be used to program and debug the
ATSAM4SD32C using Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The Embedded Debugger also include a Virtual Com port
interface over UART, an Atmel Data Gateway Interface over SPI and TWI and it monitors four of the SAM4S
GPIOs. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Embedded Debugger.
4.3.1 Serial Wire Debug
The Serial Wire Debug (SWD) use two pins to communicate with the target. For further information on how to
use the programming and debugging capabilities of the EDBG, see “Embedded Debugger” on page 6.

5. Hardware revision history and known issues
5.1 Identifying product ID and revision
The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways, through Atmel Studio or
by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
By connecting a Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will
pop up. The first 6 digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier and
revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kits window.
The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the
identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with
limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code which contains a serial number string.
The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier
r = revision
s = serial number
The kit identifier for SAM4S Xplained Pro is 1803.
5.2 Revision 5
On this revision, the SPI clock net is improved to reduce any issues that might be caused by reflections. The
SPI has been removed from the LCD (EXT4 connector) to reduce load on the clock net. The remaining clock
lines have been divided into four terminated nets for each SPI source (EXT1, EXT2, EXT3, and EDBG) and
routed in a star like layout. A series terminator resistor of 43ohm is placed on each clock net, close to the SPI
clock pin. This reduces any issues that might be caused by reflections comming back from unterminated/
unused clock lines. It also reduces the rise/fall time of the clock edges and that will also help to reduce any
reflection issues.
5.3 Revision 4
Known issues
● SAM4S has an on-die series termination of the SPI CLK which makes this signal not usable for a multi
drop clock distribution because all devices along the line will see a fraction of VCC until the signal is
reflected from the end of the transmission line. On the SAM4S Xplained Pro revision 4 this signal is
routed to each extension connector with EXT1 at the end of the line. That means extensions that are
connected along the transission line e.g. EXT3 header is likely to fail due to a non-monotinic edge caused
by relections and the fraction of VCC that is present for a short time until the reflection comes back from
the end of the line.
Workaround:
● By slowing down the clock rise time with a capacitor, and thus effectively increasing the line length at
which point it becomes a transmission line, it is possible to remove the clock issue. A 56pF capacitor
has been mounted on the bottom side of the board between the SPI clock and GND. This however
reduces the maximum SPI clock speed and it is recommended to not run this faster than 30MHz (this
also depends on how much additional capacitance is added by connected extensions and needs to
be checked case by case). The capacitor was added on revision 4 on the bottom side of the EXT3
header.Atmel SAM4S Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE]

APPLICATION NOTE
Atmel AVR600: STK600 Expansion, Routing and Socket
Boards
Atmel Microcontrollers
Introduction
This application note describes the process of developing new routing, socket and
expansion cards for the Atmel STK®
600. It also describes the physical parameters for
creating such cards.
The STK600 starter kit from Atmel has a sandwich design to match a specific part
package and pin out to the generic pin headers. It also features an expansion area
where most part pins are available.
While the variety of IC packages is relatively limited, the number of possible pinouts
increases rapidly with the number of pins. I.e. a 6-pin IC can have 720 (6!) different
pinouts!
The routing / socket card design provides a lowcost solution to support upcoming
devices as the socket is the cost driving factor.
STK600 users might also want to create their own routing cards to include
specialized hardware to prototype their own design.

1. Routing Cards
The routing cards sit between the generic socket card and the Atmel STK600. It has one pair of electric pads
underneath to mate with the STK600 spring loaded connector, and one pair of pads on top where the socket card
connector connects. A part specific card with the target IC soldered on can be viewed as a routing card without the top
pads.
1.1 Connector footprints
A routing card should have pads to mate with the following spring loaded connectors:

2. Socket Cards
Socket cards route each pin from the IC socket to separate pins on the spring loaded connectors on the bottom side,
facing the routing card.
2.1 Power design issues
As all routing is handled by the routing card, even power lines and power decoupling is ignored at the socket card. This
produces less than ideal power design, which may lead to unwanted noise, ground bounce, and other effects. It should
therefore be expected that heavily loaded designs cannot run at full speed on the Atmel STK600. Likewise, such power
design is not recommended for custom designs.

can impose voltage limitations based on the IDs, and Atmel AVR Studio will notify the user if the combination is
incorrect.
The ID system consists of two common output and two board unique input signals. Each input is one of sixteen possible
values based in the input signals – giving a total ID space of 256.
Three IDs are reserved for custom use and can be implemented without use of ICs.

5. Design Example
To support a new package type one would typically start with designing the socket card. The pinout between the socket
card and routing card is not defined and left to the designer. An example is given in Figure 5-1.
Next is the design of the routing card (Figure 5-3). The routing card’s role is to connect each pin from the socket card to
the corresponding pin on the Atmel STK600. In addition to decoupling etc, the routing card should also fan-out the
correct signals to programming headers.
Each card in the stack has its own board_id pins; the routing card is responsible for passing on the signal to the socket
card.
Figure 5-1. Schema capture of socket card.
Both the socket and routing card must also include the clip holes:

8159E–AVR–02/2013
The Atmel®AVR® AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the 32
registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be
accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient
while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATmega8A provides the following features: 8K bytes of In-System Programmable Flash with Read-WhileWrite
capabilities, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 1K byte of SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose
working registers, three flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable
USART, a byte oriented Two-wire Serial Interface, a 6-channel ADC (eight channels in TQFP and
QFN/MLF packages) with 10-bit accuracy, a programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial
port, and five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM,
Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register
contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In
Power-save mode, the asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the
rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous
timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the
crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined
with low-power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The Flash Program memory
can be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory
programmer, or by an On-chip boot program running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to
download the application program in the Application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash Section will continue
to run while the Application Flash Section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By
combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel
ATmega8A is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded
control applications.
The Atmel AVR ATmega8A is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools, including C
compilers, macro assemblers, program simulators and evaluation kits.

2.2.1 VCC
Digital supply voltage.
2.2.2 GND
Ground.
2.2.3 Port B (PB7:PB0) – XTAL1/XTAL2/TOSC1/TOSC2
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port B output buffers
have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are
externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the inverting Oscillator amplifier and
input to the internal clock operating circuit.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the inverting Oscillator amplifier.
If the Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB7:6 is used as TOSC2:1 input for the Asynchronous
Timer/Counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 5
8159E–AVR–02/2013
The various special features of Port B are elaborated in “Alternate Functions of Port B” on page 56 and “System
Clock and Clock Options” on page 24.
2.2.4 Port C (PC5:PC0)
Port C is an 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port C output buffers
have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are
externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
2.2.5 PC6/RESET
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin. Note that the electrical characteristics of PC6 differ
from those of the other pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the
minimum pulse length will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in
Table 26-3 on page 228. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a Reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated on page 59.
2.2.6 Port D (PD7:PD0)
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port D output buffers
have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are
externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a
reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega8A as listed on page 61.
2.2.7 RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock
is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in Table 26-3 on page 228. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a reset.
2.2.8 AVCC
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, Port C (3:0), and ADC (7:6). It should be externally connected
to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC through a low-pass filter.
Note that Port C (5:4) use digital supply voltage, VCC.
2.2.9 AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
2.2.10 ADC7:6 (TQFP and QFN/MLF Package Only)
In the TQFP and QFN/MLF package, ADC7:6 serve as analog inputs to the A/D converter. These pins are powered
from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit ADC channels.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 6

years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.
5. About Code Examples
This datasheet contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the device. These
code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C
compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent.
Please confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
6. Capacitive touch sensing
The Atmel® QTouch® Library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on most Atmel
AVR® microcontrollers. The QTouch Library includes support for the QTouch and QMatrix® acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate Atmel QTouch Library for the AVR Microcontroller.
This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors, and then calling the
touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information and determine the touch sensor states.
The QTouch Library is FREE and downloadable from the Atmel website at the following location:
www.atmel.com/qtouchlibrary. For implementation details and other information, refer to the Atmel QTouch Library
User Guide - also available for download from the Atmel website.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 7
8159E–AVR–02/2013
7. AVR CPU Core
7.1 Overview
This section discusses the Atmel®AVR® core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core is to
ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations,
control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
Figure 7-1. Block Diagram of the AVR MCU Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with separate memories
and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program memory are executed with a single level pipelining.
While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept
enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-System Reprogrammable
Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle
access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands
are output from the Register File, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File
– in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data Space addressing –
enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer
for look up tables in Flash Program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register,
described later in this section.

8159E–AVR–02/2013
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single
register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the Status Register is updated
to reflect information about the result of the operation.
The Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to directly address
the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format. Every Program memory
address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot program section and the Application program
section. Both sections have dedicated Lock Bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM instruction that writes
into the Application Flash memory section must reside in the Boot program section.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the Stack. The Stack
is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack size is only limited by the total
SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines
or interrupts are executed). The Stack Pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data
SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional global interrupt enable bit in
the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have
priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the
priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, SPI, and other
I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data Space locations following those of the Register
File, 0x20 - 0x5F.
7.2 Arithmetic Logic Unit – ALU
The high-performance Atmel®AVR® ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers.
Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register
and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical,
and bit-functions. Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both
signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the “Instruction Set” section for a detailed description.
7.3 Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic instruction. This
information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that the Status
Register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases
remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning
from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control
is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable Register is cleared, none of the interrupts
are enabled independent of the individual interrupt enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an
interrupt has occurred, and is set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set
and cleared by the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the Instruction Set Reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination for the operated
bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be
copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry is useful in BCD arithmetic.
See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V. See
the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the “Instruction Set Description”
for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set

The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Description” for
detailed information.
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a Carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Description” for
detailed information.
7.4 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the Atmel®AVR® Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve the required
performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input.
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input.
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input.
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input.
Figure 7-2 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 10
8159E–AVR–02/2013
Figure 7-2. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and most of them are single
cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 7-2, each register is also assigned a Data memory address, mapping them directly into the first
32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory
organization provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y-, and Z-pointer Registers can be set to
index any register in the file.
7.4.1 The X-register, Y-register and Z-register
The registers R26:R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit
address pointers for indirect addressing of the Data Space. The three indirect address registers X, Y and Z are
defined as described in Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3. The X-, Y- and Z-Registers
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment,
and automatic decrement (see the Instruction Set Reference for details).
7.5 Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing return addresses
after interrupts and subroutine calls. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher to lower memory

locations. The Stack Pointer Register always points to the top of the Stack. The Stack Pointer points to the data
SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are located. A Stack PUSH command will decrease
the Stack Pointer.
The Stack in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts
are enabled. Initial Stack Pointer value equals the last address of the internal SRAM and the Stack Pointer must be
set to point above start of the SRAM, see Figure 8-2 on page 16.
See Table 7-1 for Stack Pointer details.
The Atmel®AVR® Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of bits actually
used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations of the AVR architecture is
so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register will not be present.
7.5.1 SPH and SPL – Stack Pointer High and Low Register
7.6 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The Atmel®AVR®CPU is
driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal clock
division is used.
Figure 7-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture
and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with
the corresponding unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination register.
Figure 7-5. Single Cycle ALU Operation
7.7 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The Atmel®AVR® provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector
each have a separate Program Vector in the Program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable
bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to
enable the interrupt. Depending on the Program Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when
Boot Lock Bits BLB02 or BLB12 are programmed. This feature improves software security. See the section “Memory
Programming” on page 207 for details.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and Interrupt Vectors.
The complete list of Vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 44. The list also determines the priority levels of the
different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next
is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of the boot Flash section
by setting the Interrupt Vector Select (IVSEL) bit in the General Interrupt Control Register (GICR). Refer to
“Interrupts” on page 44 for more information. The Reset Vector can also be moved to the start of the boot Flash
section by programming the BOOTRST Fuse, see “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-Programming”
on page 194.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled. The user software
can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current
interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the Interrupt Flag. For
these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the interrupt

handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing
a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding
interrupt enable bit is cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the
flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the global interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the global interrupt enable bit is set,
and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily
have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will
not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction
before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when
returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt will be
executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the CLI instruction. The following example
shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence.
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed before any pending
interrupts, as shown in the following example.
Assembly Code Example

12.1.1 Moving Interrupts Between Application and Boot Space
The General Interrupt Control Register controls the placement of the Interrupt Vector table.
12.2 Register Description
12.2.1 GICR – General Interrupt Control Register
• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the Flash memory. When this
bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the beginning of the Boot Loader section of the Flash. The actual
address of the start of the boot Flash section is determined by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the section “Boot
Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-Programming” on page 194 for details. To avoid unintentional changes of
Interrupt Vector tables, a special write procedure must be followed to change the IVSEL bit:
1. Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one.
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE.
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled in the cycle IVCE
is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, interrupts
remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the Status Register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.
Note: If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is programmed, interrupts
are disabled while executing from the Application section. If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Application section
and Boot Lock bit BLB12 is programed, interrupts are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer
to the section “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-Programming” on page 194 for details on Boot Lock
Bits.

• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by hardware four
cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable interrupts, as explained in the
IVSEL description above. See Code Example below.

ldi r16, (1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number
of system clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system
clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution. However, care
must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset
will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is connected to.
16.4 External Clock Source
An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin
is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is
then passed through the edge detector. Figure 16-1 shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization
and edge detector logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock
(clkI/O). The latch is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative (CSn2:0 = 6) edge it
detects.
Figure 16-1. T1/T0 Pin Sampling
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles from an edge has

8159E–AVR–02/2013
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least one system clock
cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to ensure correct sampling.
The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2)
given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it
can detect is half the sampling frequency (Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system
clock frequency and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is recommended
that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

Note: 1. The synchronization logic on the input pins (T1/T0) is shown in Figure 16-1.
16.5 Register Description
16.5.1 SFIOR – Special Function IO Register
• Bit 0 – PSR10: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0
When this bit is written to one, the Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 prescaler will be reset. The bit will be
cleared by hardware after the operation is performed. Writing a zero to this bit will have no effect. Note that
Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 share the same prescaler and a reset of this prescaler will affect both timers.
This bit will always be read as zero.

17.2 Overview
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management), wave generation,
and signal timing measurement. Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower
case “n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit channel.
However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used i.e., TCNT1 for
accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 17-1. For the actual placement of I/O
pins, refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are
shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations are listed in the “Register Description” on page 92.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 74

Note: 1. Refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2, Table 13-2 on page 56, and Table 13-8 on page 61 for Timer/Counter1 pin
placement and description.
17.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture Register (ICR1) are all
16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are
described in the section “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 75. The Timer/Counter Control Registers
(TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in
the figure) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked
with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers
are shared by other timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T1 pin. The
Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement)
its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is
referred to as the timer clock (clkT1).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the Timer/Counter value at all time.
The result of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output
on the Output Compare Pin (OC1A/B). See “Output Compare Units” on page 81. The Compare Match event will
also set the Compare Match Flag (OCF1A/B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.

The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered) event on
either the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) or on the Analog Comparator pins (see “Analog Comparator” on page 179).
The Input Capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (Noise Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise
spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined by either the
OCR1A Register, the ICR1 Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM
mode, the OCR1A Register can not be used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this
case be double buffered allowing the TOP value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the
ICR1 Register can be used as an alternative, freeing the OCR1A to be used as PWM output.
17.2.2 Definitions
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the document:
17.2.3 Compatibility
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has been updated and improved from previous versions of the 16-bit AVR Timer/Counter.
This 16-bit Timer/Counter is fully compatible with the earlier version regarding:
• All 16-bit Timer/Counter related I/O Register address locations, including Timer Interrupt Registers.
• Bit locations inside all 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers, including Timer Interrupt Registers.
• Interrupt Vectors.
• The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register location:
• PWM10 is changed to WGM10.
• PWM11 is changed to WGM11.
• CTC1 is changed to WGM12.
The following bits are added to the 16-bit Timer/Counter Control Registers:
• FOC1A and FOC1B are added to TCCR1A.
• WGM13 is added to TCCR1B.
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has improvements that will affect the compatibility in some special cases.
17.3 Accessing 16-bit Registers
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via the 8-bit data bus.
The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. The 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit
register for temporary storing of the High byte of the 16-bit access. The same temporary register is shared between
all 16-bit registers within the 16-bit timer. Accessing the Low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When
the Low byte of a 16-bit register is written by the CPU, the High byte stored in the temporary register, and the Low
byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the Low byte of a 16-bit register
is read by the CPU, the High byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle
as the Low byte is read.
Table 17-1. Definitions
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65535).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values:
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCR1A or ICR1 Register.
The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 76
8159E–AVR–02/2013
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the High byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-bit registers does
not involve using the temporary register.
To do a 16-bit write, the High byte must be written before the Low byte. For a 16-bit read, the Low byte must be
read before the High byte.
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit Timer Registers assuming that no interrupts updates
the temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing the OCR1A/B and ICR1 Registers.
Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit access.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 6.
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 Register pair.
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt occurs between the two
instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code updates the temporary register by accessing the
same or any other of the 16-bit Timer Registers, then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted.
Therefore, when both the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary register, the main code must disable
the interrupts during the 16-bit access.

The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNT1 Register contents. Writing any of the
OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 6.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 Register pair contains the value to be written to TCNT1.
17.3.1 Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the High byte is the same for all registers written, then the High
byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic operation described previously also
applies in this case.
17.4 Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is selected by the
clock select logic which is controlled by the clock select (CS12:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter Control Register
B (TCCR1B). For details on clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers”
on page 71.
17.5 Counter Unit
The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit. Figure 17-2 shows
a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: counter high (TCNT1H) containing the upper
eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight bits. The TCNT1H Register can
only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU
accesses the High byte temporary register (TEMP). The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value
when the TCNT1L is read, and TCNT1H is updated with the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This
allows the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus. It is
important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1 Register when the counter is counting that
will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the sections where they are of importance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at each timer
clock (clkT1). The clkT1 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, selected by the clock select bits
(CS12:0). When no clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be
accessed by the CPU, independent of whether clkT1 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all
counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits (WGM13:0) located in
the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B). There are close connections between how
the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare Outputs OC1x. For more
details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 84.
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV1) fLag is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM13:0 bits.
TOV1 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
17.6 Input Capture Unit
The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give them a timestamp
indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple events, can be applied via
the ICP1 pin or alternatively, via the Analog Comparator unit. The time-stamps can then be used to calculate freTEMP

quency, duty-cycle, and other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating
a log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 17-3. The elements of the block diagram
that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded. The small “n” in register and bit names indicates
the Timer/Counter number.
Figure 17-3. Input Capture Unit Block Diagram
When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture Pin (ICP1), alternatively on the Analog
Comparator Output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge detector, a capture will be triggered.
When a capture is triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter (TCNT1) is written to the Input Capture Register
(ICR1). The Input Capture Flag (ICF1) is set at the same system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1
Register. If enabled (TICIE1 = 1), the Input Capture Flag generates an Input Capture interrupt. The ICF1 Flag is
automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF1 Flag can be cleared by software by
writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICR1) is done by first reading the Low byte (ICR1L) and
then the High byte (ICR1H). When the Low byte is read the High byte is copied into the High byte temporary register
(TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will access the TEMP Register.
The ICR1 Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that utilizes the ICR1 Register for
defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set
before the TOP value can be written to the ICR1 Register. When writing the ICR1 Register the High byte must be
written to the ICR1H I/O location before the Low byte is written to ICR1L.
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 75.
17.6.1 Input Capture Pin Source
The main trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture Pin (ICP1). Timer/Counter 1 can alternatively
use the Analog Comparator Output as trigger source for the Input Capture unit. The Analog Comparator is
selected as trigger source by setting the Analog Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator

Control and Status Register (ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The Input Capture
Flag must therefore be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) and the Analog Comparator Output (ACO) inputs are sampled using the same
technique as for the T1 pin (Figure 16-1 on page 71). The edge detector is also identical. However, when the noise
canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the edge detector, which increases the delay by four system
clock cycles. Note that the input of the noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the Timer/Counter
is set in a Waveform Generation mode that uses ICR1 to define TOP.
An Input Capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP1 pin.
17.6.2 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The noise canceler input is
monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the output that in turn is used by the edge
detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNC1) bit in Timer/Counter Control
Register B (TCCR1B). When enabled the noise canceler introduces additional four system clock cycles of delay
from a change applied to the input, to the update of the ICR1 Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock
and is therefore not affected by the prescaler.
17.6.3 Using the Input Capture Unit
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity for handling the
incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has not read the captured value in the
ICR1 Register before the next event occurs, the ICR1 will be overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of
the capture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICR1 Register should be read as early in the interrupt handler routine
as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has relatively high priority, the maximum interrupt response
time is dependent on the maximum number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is actively changed during
operation, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after each capture.
Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1 Register has been read. After a
change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag (ICF1) must be cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit
location). For measuring frequency only, the clearing of the ICF1 Flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is
used).
17.7 Output Compare Units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the Output Compare Register (OCR1x). If TCNT equals
OCR1x the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag (OCF1x) at the next timer clock
cycle. If enabled (OCIE1x = 1), the Output Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF1x Flag
is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1x Flag can be cleared by software
by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to generate an output
according to operating mode set by the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) bits and Compare Output mode
(COM1x1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals are used by the waveform generator for handling the special
cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (See “Modes of Operation” on page 84.)
A special feature of Output Compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP value (i.e. counter resolution).
In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period time for waveforms generated by the
waveform generator.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 82
8159E–AVR–02/2013
Figure 17-4 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The small “n” in the register and bit names indicates
the device number (n = 1 for Timer/Counter 1), and the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B). The
elements of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Output Compare unit are gray shaded.
Figure 17-4. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR1x Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. For
the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double
buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR1x Compare Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting
sequence. The synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby
making the output glitch-free.
The OCR1x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the
CPU has access to the OCR1x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR1x
directly. The content of the OCR1x (Buffer or Compare) Register is only changed by a write operation (the
Timer/Counter does not update this register automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Register). Therefore OCR1x is
not read via the High byte temporary register (TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the Low byte first as
when accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCR1x Registers must be done via the TEMP Register since the
compare of all 16-bit is done continuously. The High byte (OCR1xH) has to be written first. When the High byte I/O
location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be updated by the value written. Then when the Low byte
(OCR1xL) is written to the lower eight bits, the High byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCR1x
buffer or OCR1x Compare Register in the same system clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 75.
17.7.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by writing a one to
the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the OCF1x Flag or reload/clear the
timer, but the OC1x pin will be updated as if a real Compare Match had occurred (the COM1x1:0 bits settings
define whether the OC1x pin is set, cleared or toggled).

17.7.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT1 Write
All CPU writes to the TCNT1 Register will block any Compare Match that occurs in the next timer clock cycle, even
when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1x to be initialized to the same value as TCNT1 without triggering
an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
17.7.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT1 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are
risks involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the Output Compare channels, independent of whether
the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT1 equals the OCR1x value, the Compare Match will
be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with
variable TOP values. The Compare Match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF.
Similarly, do not write the TCNT1 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is downcounting.
The setup of the OC1x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port pin to output.
The easiest way of setting the OC1x value is to use the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) strobe bits in Normal
mode. The OC1x Register keeps its value even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM1x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value. Changing the
COM1x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.
17.8 Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits
for defining the Output Compare (OC1x) state at the next Compare Match. Secondly the COM1x1:0 bits control the
OC1x pin output source. Figure 17-5 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM1x1:0 bit setting.
The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port
Control Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM1x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC1x
state, the reference is for the internal OC1x Register, not the OC1x pin. If a System Reset occur, the OC1x Register
is reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC1x) from the waveform generator if either of
the COM1x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC1x pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction
Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC1x pin (DDR_OC1x) must be set as output
before the OC1x value is visible on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the
Waveform Generation mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 17-2, Table 17-3 and Table 17-4 for
details.
The design of the Output Compare Pin logic allows initialization of the OC1x state before the output is enabled.
Note that some COM1x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation. See “Register Description” on
page 92.
The COM1x1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.
17.8.1 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The waveform generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting
the COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC1x Register is to be performed on the
next Compare Match. For compare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 17-2 on page 93. For fast
PWM mode refer to Table 17-3 on page 93, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to
Table 17-4 on page 93.
A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are written. For nonPWM
modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the FOC1x strobe bits.
17.9 Modes of Operation
The mode of operation (i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins) is defined by the
combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) and Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The
Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do.
The COM1x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted
PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM1x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a
Compare Match. See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 83.
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 91.
17.9.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM13:0 = 0). In this mode the counting direction is always
up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum
16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter
Overflow Flag (TOV1) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 becomes zero. The TOV1 Flag in
this case behaves like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow
interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no
special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maximum interval between the
external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval between events are too long, the timer
overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to extend the resolution for the capture unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output Compare to
generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.
17.9.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1 Register are used to manipulate
the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT1) matches
either the OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for theATmega8A [DATASHEET] 85
8159E–AVR–02/2013
counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare Match output frequency. It also
simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 17-6. The counter value (TCNT1) increases until a Compare
Match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter (TCNT1) is cleared.
Figure 17-6. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either using the OCF1A or
ICF1 Flag according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler
routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when
the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not
have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current value of
TCNT1, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value
(0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can occur. In many cases this feature is
not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode using OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 =
15) since the OCR1A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its logical level on each
Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode (COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will
not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform
generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform
frequency is defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV1 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the counter counts
from MAX to 0x0000.
17.9.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM options by its single-slope operation.
The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode,
the Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x, and set at BOTTOM.
In inverting Compare Output mode output is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the singleslope
operation, the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and
phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM

8159E–AVR–02/2013
mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), hence reduces total system cost.
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum
resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or
OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed values
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 14), or the value in OCR1A
(WGM13:0 = 15). The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast
PWM mode is shown in Figure 17-7. The figure shows fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define
TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation.
The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1
slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set when a
Compare Match occurs.
Figure 17-7. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition the OCF1A or
ICF1 Flag is set at the same timer clock cycle as TOV1 is set when either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the
TOP value. If one of the interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP and
compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of
all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a Compare Match will
never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are
masked to zero when any of the OCR1x Registers are written.
The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP value. The ICR1
Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low value when the counter is running with
none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of
TCNT1. The result will then be that the counter will miss the Compare Match at the TOP value. The counter will
then have to count to the MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can
occur. The OCR1A Register, however, is double buffered. This feature allows the OCR1A I/O location to be written
anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is written the value written will be put into the OCR1A Buffer Register. The
OCR1A Compare Register will then be updated with the value in the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle

the TCNT1 matches TOP. The update is done at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 is cleared and the
TOV1 Flag is set.
Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A
Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively
changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer
feature.
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins. Setting the
COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the
COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 17-3 on page 93. The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data
direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing)
the OC1x Register at the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register
at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in
the fast PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for each
TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR1x equal to TOP will result in a constant high or low output (depending
on the polarity of the output set by the COM1x1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC1A to toggle
its logical level on each Compare Match (COM1A1:0 = 1). This applies only if OCR1A is used to define the TOP
value (WGM13:0 = 15). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A
is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of
the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
17.9.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct Pulse Width Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, 3, 10, or 11) provides a
high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase
and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM
(0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output
Compare (OC1x) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while upcounting, and set on the
Compare Match while downcounting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope
operation has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or
OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is
16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed values
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 10), or the value in
OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 11). The counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1
value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown
on Figure 17-8. The figure shows phase correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The
TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram
includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent

compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set when a Compare Match
occurs.
Figure 17-8. Phase Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When either OCR1A or
ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 Flag is set accordingly at the same timer clock cycle as
the OCR1x Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at TOP). The Interrupt Flags can be used to generate
an interrupt each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of
all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a Compare Match will
never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x. Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are
masked to zero when any of the OCR1x Registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 17-8 illustrates,
changing the TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the Phase Correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical
output. The reason for this can be found in the time of update of the OCR1x Register. Since the OCR1x
update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This implies that the length of the falling slope is
determined by the previous TOP value, while the length of the rising slope is determined by the new TOP value.
When these two values differ the two slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the
unsymmetrical result on the output.
It is recommended to use the Phase and Frequency Correct mode instead of the Phase Correct mode when
changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static TOP value there are practically no
differences between the two modes of operation.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins. Setting
the COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting
the COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 17-4 on page 93. The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the
data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing)
the OC1x Register at the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and
clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter decrements.
The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following
equation:

The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in
the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set
equal to TOP the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will
have the opposite logic values.
If OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WMG13:0 = 11) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output will toggle with a
50% duty cycle.
17.9.5 Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode
The phase and frequency correct Pulse Width Modulation, or phase and frequency correct PWM mode (WGM13:0
= 8 or 9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase
and frequency correct PWM mode is, like the phase correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The
counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare
Output mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x
while upcounting, and set on the Compare Match while downcounting. In inverting Compare Output mode, the
operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency compared to the single-slope
operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are
preferred for motor control applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM mode is the time the
OCR1x Register is updated by the OCR1x Buffer Register, (see Figure 17-8 and Figure 17-9).
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A.
The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit
(ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated using the following equation:
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either the
value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 8), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 9). The counter has then reached the TOP and
changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram
for the phase correct and frequency correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 17-9. The figure shows phase and
frequency correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing
diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between
OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set when a Compare Match occurs.

Figure 17-9. Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x Registers are updated
with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the
OC1A or ICF1 Flag set when TCNT1 has reached TOP. The Interrupt Flags can then be used to generate an interrupt
each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of
all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a Compare Match will
never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
As Figure 17-9 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the Phase Correct mode, symmetrical in all periods.
Since the OCR1x Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising and the falling slopes will always be
equal. This gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore frequency correct.
Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A
Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively
changed by changing the TOP value, using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer
feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x
pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated
by setting the COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 17-4 on page 93. The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the
port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting
(or clearing) the OC1x Register at the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter
increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the
counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase and frequency correct PWM can be calculated
by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in
the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set
equal to TOP the output will be set to high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the
opposite logic values.

17.10 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT1) is therefore shown as a clock enable signal
in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are set, and when the OCR1x Register
is updated with the OCR1x buffer value (only for modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 17-10 shows a
timing diagram for the setting of OCF1x.

Figure 17-12 shows the count sequence close to TOP in various modes. When using phase and frequency correct
PWM mode the OCR1x Register is updated at BOTTOM. The timing diagrams will be the same, but TOP should
be replaced by BOTTOM, TOP-1 by BOTTOM+1 and so on. The same renaming applies for modes that set the
TOV1 Flag at BOTTOM.

pin it is connected to. If one or both of the COM1B1:0 bit are written to one, the OC1B output overrides the normal
port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding
to the OC1A or OC1B pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OC1A or OC1B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1x1:0 bits is dependent of the WGM13:0
bits setting. Table 17-2 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to a normal or a CTC
mode (non-PWM).
Table 17-3 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the fast PWM mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. In this case the Compare
Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast PWM Mode” on page 85. for more details.
Table 17-4 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the phase correct or the phase

• Bit 3 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for channel A
• Bit 2 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare for channel B
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are only active when the WGM13:0 bits specifies a non-PWM mode. However, for ensuring
compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to zero when TCCR1A is written when operating in a
PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC1A/FOC1B bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on the
waveform generation unit. The OC1A/OC1B output is changed according to its COM1x1:0 bits setting. Note that
the FOC1A/FOC1B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COM1x1:0 bits that
determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear Timer on Compare Match
(CTC) mode using OCR1A as TOP.
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are always read as zero.
• Bit 1:0 – WGM11:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM13:2 bits found in the TCCR1B Register, these bits control the counting sequence of the
counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used, see
Table 17-5. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on
Compare Match (CTC) mode, and three types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. (See “Modes of Operation”
on page 84.)
Note: 1. The CTC1 and PWM11:0 bit definition names are obsolete. Use the WGM12:0 definitions. However, the functionality and
location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.

17.11.2 TCCR1B – Timer/Counter 1 Control Register B
• Bit 7 – ICNC1: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture Noise Canceler. When the noise canceler is activated, the input
from the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) is filtered. The filter function requires four successive equal valued samples of
the ICP1 pin for changing its output. The Input Capture is therefore delayed by four Oscillator cycles when the
noise canceler is enabled.
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture event. When the
ICES1 bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and when the ICES1 bit is written to one, a
rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICES1 setting, the counter value is copied into the Input Capture Register
(ICR1). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICF1), and this can be used to cause an Input Capture
Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.
When the ICR1 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM13:0 bits located in the TCCR1A and the
TCCR1B Register), the ICP1 is disconnected and consequently the Input Capture function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be written to zero
when TCCR1B is written.
• Bit 4:3 – WGM13:2: Waveform Generation Mode
See TCCR1A Register description.
• Bit 2:0 – CS12:0: Clock Select
The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Figure 17-10 and Figure
17-11.
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter1, transitions on the T1 pin will clock the counter even if the
pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the counting.

17.11.3 TCNT1H and TCNT1L – Timer/Counter 1
The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNT1H and TCNT1L, combined TCNT1) give direct access, both for read
and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To ensure that both the high and Low bytes are
read and written simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit
temporary High byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See
“Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 75.
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between
TCNT1 and one of the OCR1x Registers.
Writing to the TCNT1 Register blocks (removes) the Compare Match on the following timer clock for all compare
units.
17.11.4 OCR1AH and OCR1AL– Output Compare Register 1 A
17.11.5 OCR1BH and OCR1BL – Output Compare Register 1 B
The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value
(TCNT1). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare Interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the
OC1x pin.
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and Low bytes are written simultaneously
when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High byte
Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers”
on page 75.
17.11.6 ICR1H and ICR1L – Input Capture Register 1
The Input Capture is updated with the counter (TCNT1) value each time an event occurs on the ICP1 pin (or
optionally on the Analog Comparator Output for Timer/Counter1). The Input Capture can be used for defining the
counter TOP value.
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and Low bytes are read simultaneously

• Bit 5 – TICIE1: Timer/Counter1, Input Capture Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one, and the I-flag in the Status Register is set (interrupts globally enabled), the

• Bit 4 – OCIE1A: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare A Match Interrupt Enable

on page 44) is executed when the OCF1A Flag, located in TIFR, is set.
• Bit 3 – OCIE1B: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare B Match Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one, and the I-flag in the Status Register is set (interrupts globally enabled), the
Timer/Counter1 Output Compare B match interrupt is enabled. The corresponding Interrupt Vector (see “Interrupts”

• Bit 2 – TOIE1: Timer/Counter1, Overflow Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one, and the I-flag in the Status Register is set (interrupts globally enabled), the
Timer/Counter1 Overflow Interrupt is enabled. The corresponding Interrupt Vector (see “Interrupts” on page 44) is
executed when the TOV1 Flag, located in TIFR, is set.

Note: 1. This register contains flag bits for several Timer/Counters, but only Timer1 bits are described in this section. The
remaining bits are described in their respective timer sections.
• Bit 5 – ICF1: Timer/Counter1, Input Capture Flag
This flag is set when a capture event occurs on the ICP1 pin. When the Input Capture Register (ICR1) is set by the
WGM13:0 to be used as the TOP value, the ICF1 Flag is set when the counter reaches the TOP value.
ICF1 is automatically cleared when the Input Capture Interrupt Vector is executed. Alternatively, ICF1 can be
cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
• Bit 4 – OCF1A: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare A Match Flag
This flag is set in the timer clock cycle after the counter (TCNT1) value matches the Output Compare Register A
(OCR1A).
Note that a Forced Output Compare (FOC1A) strobe will not set the OCF1A Flag.

18.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt request (shorten
as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked
with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers
are shared by other timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from the TOSC1/2 pins,
as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by the Asynchronous Status Register
(ASSR). The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement)
its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select
logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT2).
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2) is compared with the Timer/Counter value at all times. The
result of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on
the Output Compare Pin (OC2). For details, see “Output Compare Unit” on page 101. The Compare Match event
will also set the Compare Flag (OCF2) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.
18.2.2 Definitions
Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower case “n” replaces the
Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise
form must be used (i.e., TCNT2 for accessing Timer/Counter2 counter value and so on).
The definitions in Table 18-1 are also used extensively throughout the document.
18.3 Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous clock source. The
clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS2 bit in the ASSR Register is written to
logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For
details on asynchronous operation, see “Asynchronous Operation of the Timer/Counter” on page 109. For details
on clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 71.
18.4 Counter Unit
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure 18-2 shows a
block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.
Table 18-1. Definitions
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF
(MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2 Register. The assignment is dependent
on the mode of operation.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 101

direction Selects between increment and decrement.
clear Clear TCNT2 (set all bits to zero).
clkT2 Timer/Counter clock.
TOP Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached maximum value.
BOTTOM Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero).
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at each timer
clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, selected by the clock select bits
(CS22:0). When no clock source is selected (CS22:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be
accessed by the CPU, regardless of whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all
counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits located in the Timer/Counter
Control Register (TCCR2). There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how
waveforms are generated on the Output Compare Output OC2. For more details about advanced counting
sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 104.
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV2) Flag is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM21:0 bits.
TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
18.5 Output Compare Unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register (OCR2). Whenever
TCNT2 equals OCR2, the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag (OCF2) at the
next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE2 = 1), the Output Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt.
The OCF2 Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF2 Flag can be
cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to
generate an output according to operating mode set by the WGM21:0 bits and Compare Output mode (COM21:0)
bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the waveform generator for handling the special cases of the
extreme values in some modes of operation (see “Modes of Operation” on page 104).

Figure 18-3. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR2 Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. For the normal
and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering
synchronizes the update of the OCR2 Compare Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The
synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output
glitch-free.
The OCR2 Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the
CPU has access to the OCR2 Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR2
directly.
18.5.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by writing a one to
the Force Output Compare (FOC2) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the OCF2 Flag or reload/clear the
timer, but the OC2 pin will be updated as if a real Compare Match had occurred (the COM21:0 bits settings define
whether the OC2 pin is set, cleared or toggled).
18.5.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT2 Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any Compare Match that occurs in the next timer clock
cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR2 to be initialized to the same value as TCNT2 without
triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
18.5.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are
risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the Output Compare channel, independently of whether the
Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT2 equals the OCR2 value, the Compare Match will be

missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value equal to BOTTOM
when the counter is downcounting.
The setup of the OC2 should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port pin to output. The
easiest way of setting the OC2 value is to use the Force Output Compare (FOC2) strobe bit in Normal mode. The
OC2 Register keeps its value even when changing between waveform generation modes.
Be aware that the COM21:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value. Changing the COM21:0
bits will take effect immediately.
18.6 Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses the COM21:0 bits
for defining the Output Compare (OC2) state at the next Compare Match. Also, the COM21:0 bits control the OC2
pin output source. Figure 18-4 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM21:0 bit setting. The
I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control
Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM21:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC2 state, the
reference is for the internal OC2 Register, not the OC2 pin.
Figure 18-4. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2) from the waveform generator if either of
the COM21:0 bits are set. However, the OC2 pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction
Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC2 pin (DDR_OC2) must be set as output
before the OC2 value is visible on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation
mode.

The design of the Output Compare Pin logic allows initialization of the OC2 state before the output is enabled. Note
that some COM21:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation. See “Register Description” on page
112.
18.6.1 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM21:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting
the COM21:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC2 Register is to be performed on the
next Compare Match. For compare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 18-3 on page 112. For
fast PWM mode, refer to Table 18-4 on page 113, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 18-5 on page 113.
A change of the COM21:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are written. For nonPWM
modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the FOC2 strobe bits.
18.7 Modes of Operation
The mode of operation (i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins) is defined by the
combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM21:0) and Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits. The
Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do.
The COM21:0 bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted
PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM21:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a
Compare Match (see “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 103).
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 108.
18.7.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM21:0 = 0). In this mode the counting direction is always
up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-
bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow
Flag (TOV2) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The TOV2 Flag in this case
behaves like a ninth bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV2 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special
cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output Compare to
generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.
18.7.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM21:0 = 2), the OCR2 Register is used to manipulate the counter
resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT2) matches the OCR2. The
OCR2 defines the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare
Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 18-5. The counter value (TCNT2) increases until a Compare
Match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2, and then counter (TCNT2) is cleared.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 105
8159E–AVR–02/2013
Figure 18-5. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the OCF2 Flag. If the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing the
TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done
with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR2 is
lower than the current value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The counter will then have to
count to its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2 output can be set to toggle its logical level on each Compare
Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode (COM21:0 = 1). The OC2 value will not be
visible on the port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a
maximum frequency of fOC2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2 is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the
following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the counter counts
from MAX to 0x00.
18.7.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 3) provides a high frequency PWM waveform
generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its single-slope operation. The counter
counts from BOTTOM to MAX then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output
Compare (OC2) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT2 and OCR2, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting
Compare Output mode, the output is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope
operation, the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM mode
that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation,
rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils,
capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX value. The counter is then
cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 18-6. The
TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram
includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent
compare matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.

8159E–AVR–02/2013
Figure 18-6. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches MAX. If the interrupt is enabled, the
interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2 pin. Setting the COM21:0
bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM21:0
to 3 (see Table 18-4 on page 113). The actual OC2 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for
the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC2 Register at the
Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2, and clearing (or setting) the OC2 Register at the timer clock cycle the
counter is cleared (changes from MAX to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in
the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer
clock cycle. Setting the OCR2 equal to MAX will result in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity
of the output set by the COM21:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC2 to toggle
its logical level on each Compare Match (COM21:0 = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency
of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2 is set to zero. This feature is similar to the OC2 toggle in CTC mode, except the double
buffer feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
18.7.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation
option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from
BOTTOM to MAX and then from MAX to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare
(OC2) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT2 and OCR2 while upcounting, and set on the Compare
Match while downcounting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation

has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the
dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase correct PWM mode the counter
is incremented until the counter value matches MAX. When the counter reaches MAX, it changes the count
direction. The TCNT2 value will be equal to MAX for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct
PWM mode is shown on Figure 18-7. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for
illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal
line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.
Figure 18-7. Phase Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The Interrupt Flag can
be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2 pin. Setting the
COM21:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the
COM21:0 to 3 (see Table 18-5 on page 113). The actual OC2 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data
direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC2 Register
at the Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the
OC2 Register at Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency
for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in
the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set
equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will
have the opposite logic values.

At the very start of period 2 in Figure 18-7 OCn has a transition from high to low even though there is no Compare
Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a
transition without Compare Match:
• OCR2A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 18-7. When the OCR2A value is MAX the OCn pin value is
the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn
value at MAX must correspond to the result of an up-counting Compare Match.
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2A, and for that reason misses the Compare
Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the way up.
18.8 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in Synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT2) is therefore shown
as a clock enable signal. In Asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock.
The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are set. Figure 18-8 contains timing data for basic
Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than
phase correct PWM mode.

18.9 Asynchronous Operation of the Timer/Counter
18.9.1 Asynchronous Operation of Timer/Counter2
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of Timer/Counter2, the Timer
Registers TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be corrupted. A safe procedure for switching clock source is:
1. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2 and TOIE2.
2. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate.
3. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2.
4. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2UB, OCR2UB, and TCR2UB.
5. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags.
6. Enable interrupts, if needed.

• The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal. Applying an external clock to the TOSC1 pin
may result in incorrect Timer/Counter2 operation. The CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times
the Oscillator frequency.
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the value is transferred to a temporary register,
and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not write a new value before the contents of
the temporary register have been transferred to its destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have their
individual temporary register, which means that e.g. writing to TCNT2 does not disturb an OCR2 write in
progress. To detect that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the Asynchronous Status Register
– ASSR has been implemented.
• When entering Power-save mode after having written to TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the user must wait until the
written register has been updated if Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will
enter sleep mode before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if the Output Compare2
interrupt is used to wake up the device, since the Output Compare function is disabled during writing to OCR2
or TCNT2. If the write cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode before the OCR2UB bit returns to
zero, the device will never receive a Compare Match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up.
• If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save mode, precautions must be taken if the user
wants to re-enter one of these modes: The interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time
between wake-up and re-entering sleep mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not occur, and the
device will fail to wake up. If the user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering Power-save or Extended
Standby mode is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:
1. Write a value to TCCR2, TCNT2, or OCR2.
2. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.
3. Enter Power-save or Extended Standby mode.
• When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768kHz Oscillator for Timer/Counter2 is always running,
except in Power-down and Standby modes. After a Power-up Reset or Wake-up from Power-down or Standby
mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this Oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize. The
user is advised to wait for at least one second before using Timer/Counter2 after Power-up or Wake-up from
Power-down or Standby mode. The contents of all Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost after a
wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon start-up, no matter whether the
Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin.
• Description of wake up from Power-save or Extended Standby mode when the timer is clocked asynchronously:
When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up process is started on the following cycle of the timer clock, that
is, the timer is always advanced by at least one before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up,
the MCU is halted for four cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction
following SLEEP.
• Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an incorrect result. Since
TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading TCNT2 must be done through a register
synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain. Synchronization takes place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When
waking up from Power-save mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will read as the
previous value (before entering sleep) until the next rising TOSC1 edge. The phase of the TOSC clock after
waking up from Power-save mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The
recommended procedure for reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:
1. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2 or TCCR2.
2. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.
3. Read TCNT2.
• During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the asynchronous timer takes
three processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore advanced by at least one before the ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 111
8159E–AVR–02/2013
processor can read the timer value causing the setting of the Interrupt Flag. The Output Compare Pin is
changed on the timer clock and is not synchronized to the processor clock.
18.10 Timer/Counter Prescaler
Figure 18-12. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to the main system I/O clock
clkI/O. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This
enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter (RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected
from Port B. A crystal can then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an
independent clock source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. Applying
an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT2S/8, clkT2S/32, clkT2S/64, clkT2S/128, clkT2S/256, and
clkT2S/1024. Additionally, clkT2S as well as 0 (stop) may be selected. Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the prescaler.
This allows the user to operate with a predictable prescaler.

18.11 Register Description
18.11.1 TCCR2 – Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 7 – FOC2: Force Output Compare
The FOC2 bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode. However, for ensuring compatibility with
future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2 is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a
logical one to the FOC2 bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on the waveform generation unit. The OC2
output is changed according to its COM21:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2 bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore
it is the value present in the COM21:0 bits that determines the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2 strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR2 as TOP.
The FOC2 bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6,3 – WGM21:0: Waveform Generation Mode
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum (TOP) counter value, and
what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal
mode, Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode, and two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See
Table 18-2 and “Modes of Operation” on page 104.
Note: 1. The CTC2 and PWM2 bit definition names are now obsolete. Use the WGM21:0 definitions. However, the functionality
and location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.
• Bit 5:4 – COM21:0: Compare Match Output Mode
These bits control the Output Compare Pin (OC2) behavior. If one or both of the COM21:0 bits are set, the OC2
output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction
Register (DDR) bit corresponding to OC2 pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2 is connected to the pin, the function of the COM21:0 bits depends on the WGM21:0 bit setting. Table
18-3 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast PWM Mode” on page 105 for more details.

The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit
counter. Writing to the TCNT2 Register blocks (removes) the Compare Match on the following timer clock. Modifying
the counter (TCNT2) while the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between
TCNT2 and the OCR2 Register.
18.11.3 OCR2 – Output Compare Register
The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value
(TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the
OC2 pin.
18.11.4 ASSR – Asynchronous Status Register
• Bit 3 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter 2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O. When AS2 is written to one,
Timer/Counter 2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin. When the
value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be corrupted.
• Bit 2 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set. When TCNT2 has
been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates
that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 1 – OCR2UB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2 is written, this bit becomes set. When OCR2 has been
updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that
OCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2UB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2 is written, this bit becomes set. When TCCR2 has
been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates
that TCCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is set, the updated
value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 are different. When reading TCNT2, the actual timer
value is read. When reading OCR2 or TCCR2, the value in the temporary storage register is read.

18.11.5 TIMSK – Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register
• Bit 7 – OCIE2: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare
Match interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if a Compare Match in Timer/Counter2 occurs
(i.e., when the OCF2 bit is set in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR).
• Bit 6 – TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable
When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow
interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if an overflow in Timer/Counter2 occurs (i.e., when
the TOV2 bit is set in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR).
18.11.6 TIFR – Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register
• Bit 7 – OCF2: Output Compare Flag 2
The OCF2 bit is set (one) when a Compare Match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the data in OCR2 –
Output Compare Register2. OCF2 is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt Handling
Vector. Alternatively, OCF2 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2
(Timer/Counter2 Compare Match Interrupt Enable), and OCF2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare Match
Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 6 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt Handling Vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.
When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting
direction at 0x00.
18.11.7 SFIOR – Special Function IO Register
• Bit 1 – PSR2: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is written to one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. The bit will be cleared by hardware after
the operation is performed. Writing a zero to this bit will have no effect. This bit will always be read as zero if
Timer/Counter2 is clocked by the internal CPU clock. If this bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in Asynchronous
mode, the bit will remain one until the prescaler has been reset.

19.1 Features • Full-duplex, Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer
• Master or Slave Operation
• LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer
• Seven Programmable Bit Rates
• End of Transmission Interrupt Flag
• Write Collision Flag Protection

19.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the ATmega8A and
peripheral devices or between several AVR devices.
Figure 19-1. SPI Block Diagram(1)
Note: 1. Refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2, and Table 13-2 on page 56 for SPI pin placement.
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 19-2. The system consists of two
Shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Master initiates the communication cycle when pulling low SPI2X SPI2X
DIVIDER
/2/4/8/16/32/64/128ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 117
8159E–AVR–02/2013
the Slave Select SS pin of the desired Slave. Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective Shift
Registers, and the Master generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always
shifted from Master to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the Master In –
Slave Out, MISO, line. After each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave by pulling high the Slave
Select, SS, line.
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This must be handled by
user software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a byte to the SPI Data Register starts the
SPI clock generator, and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator
stops, setting the end of Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI interrupt enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR
Register is set, an interrupt is requested. The Master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or
signal the end of packet by pulling high the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer
Register for later use.
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long as the SS pin is
driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI Data Register, SPDR, but the data will not
be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely
shifted, the end of Transmission Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI interrupt enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR
Register is set, an interrupt is requested. The Slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before
reading the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
Figure 19-2. SPI Master-Slave Interconnection
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction. This means that
bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data Register before the entire shift cycle is completed. When
receiving data, however, a received character must be read from the SPI Data Register before the next character
has been completely shifted in. Otherwise, the first byte is lost.
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of
the clock signal, the minimum low and high periods should be:
Low period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles
High period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles.
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden according to
Table 19-1. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to “Alternate Port Functions” on page 54.

20.6.9 Receive Compete Flag and Interrupt
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the Receiver state.
The Receive Complete (RXC) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer. This flag is one
when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any
unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXEN = 0), the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXC
bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIE) in UCSRB is set, the USART Receive Complete Interrupt
will be executed as long as the RXC Flag is set (provided that global interrupts are enabled). When interrupt-driven
data reception is used, the receive complete routine must read the received data from UDR in order to clear the
RXC Flag, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
20.6.10 Receiver Error Flags
The USART Receiver has three error flags: Frame Error (FE), Data OverRun (DOR) and Parity Error (PE). All can
be accessed by reading UCSRA. Common for the error flags is that they are located in the receive buffer together
with the frame for which they indicate the error status. Due to the buffering of the error flags, the UCSRA must be
read before the receive buffer (UDR), since reading the UDR I/O location changes the buffer read location. Another
equality for the error flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to the flag location. However, all
flags must be set to zero when the UCSRA is written for upward compatibility of future USART implementations.
None of the error flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FE) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame stored in the receive
buffer. The FE Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one), and the FE Flag will be one when the
stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions
and protocol handling. The FE Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBS bit in UCSRC since the Receiver
ignores all, except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing
to UCSRA.
The Data OverRun (DOR) Flag indicates data loss due to a Receiver buffer full condition. A Data OverRun occurs
when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in the Receive Shift Register, and a
new start bit is detected. If the DOR Flag is set there was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last read
from UDR, and the next frame read from UDR. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero
when writing to UCSRA. The DOR Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from the Shift
Register to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (PE) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a parity error when received. If
parity check is not enabled the PE bit will always be read zero. For compatibility with future devices, always set this
bit to zero when writing to UCSRA. For more details see “Parity Bit Calculation” on page 130 and “Parity Checker”
on page 137.
20.6.11 Parity Checker
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPM1) bit is set. Type of parity check to be performed
(odd or even) is selected by the UPM0 bit. When enabled, the Parity Checker calculates the parity of the
data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the
check is stored in the receive buffer together with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (PE) Flag can
then be read by software to check if the frame had a parity error.
The PE bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a parity error when received and
the parity checking was enabled at that point (UPM1 = 1). This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is read.
20.6.12 Disabling the Receiver
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing receptions will therefore
be lost. When disabled (i.e., the RXEN is set to zero) the Receiver will no longer override the normal functionATmega8A [DATASHEET] 138
8159E–AVR–02/2013
of the RxD port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the
buffer will be lost.
20.6.13 Flushing the Receive Buffer
The Receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled (i.e., the buffer will be emptied of its contents).
Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal operation, due to for instance an error
condition, read the UDR I/O location until the RXC Flag is cleared. The following code example shows how to flush
the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 6.
20.7 Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data reception. The
clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate clock to the incoming asynchronous
serial frames at the RxD pin. The data recovery logic samples and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby
improving the noise immunity of the Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the
accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
20.7.1 Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 20-5 illustrates the sampling
process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal mode, and
eight times the baud rate for Double Speed mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation
due to the sampling process. Note the larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode (U2X = 1) of operation.
Samples denoted zero are samples done when the RxD line is idle (i.e., no communication activity).
Figure 20-5. Start Bit Sampling
When the clock recovery logic detects a high (idle) to low (start) transition on the RxD line, the start bit detection
sequence is initiated. Let sample 1 denote the first zero-sample as shown in the figure. The clock recovery logic

When writing serial data to the ATmega8A, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the ATmega8A, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 25-8 for timing
details.

(See four byte instruction formats in Table 25-16):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems, the programmer
can not guarantee that SCK is held low during Power-up. In this case, RESET must be given a
positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable Serial Programming by sending the Programming Enable serial instruction
to pin MOSI.
3. The Serial Programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization. When in
sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third byte of the Programming Enable
instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the
0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The page size is found in Table 25-5 on page 210. The
memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 5LSB of the address and data together with
the Load Program memory Page instruction. To ensure correct loading of the page, the data Low byte
must be loaded before data High byte is applied for a given address. The Program memory Page is stored
by loading the Write Program memory Page instruction with the 7 MSB of the address. If polling is not
used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 25-15).
5. Note: If other commands than polling (read) are applied before any write operation (FLASH, EEPROM,
Lock Bits, Fuses) is completed, it may result in incorrect programming.
6. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and data together with
the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first automatically erased before new
data is written. If polling is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte.
(See Table 25-15 on page 222). In a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be
programmed.
7. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the content at the
selected address at serial output MISO.
8. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal operation.
9. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off
25.9.2 Data Polling Flash
When a page is being programmed into the Flash, reading an address location within the page being programmed
will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is ready for a new page, the programmed value will read correctly.
This is used to determine when the next page can be written. Note that the entire page is written simultaneously
and any address within the page can be used for polling. Data polling of the Flash will not work for the value 0xFF,
so when programming this value, the user will have to wait for at least tWD_FLASH before programming the next
page. As a chip-erased device contains 0xFF in all locations, programming of addresses that are meant to contain
0xFF, can be skipped. See Table 97 for tWD_FLASH value.
25.9.3 Data Polling EEPROM
When a new byte has been written and is being programmed into EEPROM, reading the address location being
programmed will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is ready for a new byte, the programmed value will
read correctly. This is used to determine when the next byte can be written. This will not work for the value 0xFF,
but the user should have the following in mind: As a chip-erased device contains 0xFF in all locations, programming
of addresses that are meant to contain 0xFF, can be skipped. This does not apply if the EEPROM is Re-ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 222
8159E–AVR–02/2013
programmed without chip-erasing the device. In this case, data polling cannot be used for the value 0xFF, and the
user will have to wait at least tWD_EEPROM before programming the next byte. See Table 25-15 for tWD_EEPROM value.

capacitance. This will vary with package type.
2. The frequency will vary with package type and board layout.
26.5 System and Reset Characteristics
Notes: 1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOT (falling).
2. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where this is the case, the
device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees that a Brown-out Reset will occur
before VCC drops to a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is
performed using BODLEVEL = 1 and BODLEVEL = 0 for ATmega8A.

3. Cb = capacitance of one bus line in pF.
4. fCK = CPU clock frequency
5. This requirement applies to all ATmega8A Two-wire Serial Interface operation. Other devices connected to the Two-wire
Serial Bus need only obey the general fSCL requirement.
6. The actual low period generated by the ATmega8A Two-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus fCK must be greater than
6MHz for the low time requirement to be strictly met at fSCL = 100kHz.
7. The actual low period generated by the ATmega8A Two-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus the low time requirement
will not be strictly met for fSCL > 308kHz when fCK = 8MHz. Still, ATmega8A devices connected to the bus may communicate
at full speed (400kHz) with other ATmega8A devices, as well as any other device with a proper tLOW acceptance margin.

2. “Min” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high
3. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20mA at Vcc = 5V, 10mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
PDIP, TQFP, and QFN/MLF Package:
1] The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 300 mA.
2] The sum of all IOL, for ports C0 - C5 should not exceed 100 mA.
3] The sum of all IOL, for ports B0 - B7, C6, D0 - D7 and XTAL2, should not exceed 200 mA.
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater
than the listed test condition.
4. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (20 mA at Vcc = 5V, 10 mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
PDIP, TQFP, and QFN/MLF Package:
1] The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 300 mA.
2] The sum of all IOH, for port C0 - C5, should not exceed 100 mA.
3] The sum of all IOH, for ports B0 - B7, C6, D0 - D7 and XTAL2, should not exceed 200 mA.
If IOH exceeds the test condition, VOH may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to source current
greater than the listed test condition.
Note: 1. The current consumption values include input leakage current.

28. Typical Characteristics – TA = -40°C to 85°C
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing. All current consumption
measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and with internal pull-ups enabled. A
sine wave generator with Rail-to-Rail output is used as clock source.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating frequency, loading of
I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating
voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where CL = load capacitance,
VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to function properly at
frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-down
mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

29. Typical Characteristics – TA = -40°C to 105°C
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing. All current consumption
measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and with internal pull-ups enabled. A
sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock source.
All Active- and Idle current consumption measurements are done with all bits in the PRR registers set and thus, the
corresponding I/O modules are turned off. Also the Analog Comparator is disabled during these measurements.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating frequency, loading of
I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating
voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where CL = load capacitance,
VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to function properly at
frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-down
mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

2. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instructions will operate on
all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions
work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 303

The revision letter in this section refers to the revision of the ATmega8A device.
34.1 ATmega8A, rev. L
• First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
• Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
• Signature may be Erased in Serial Programming Mode
• CKOPT Does not Enable Internal Capacitors on XTALn/TOSCn Pins when 32kHz Oscillator is Used to Clock the
Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
• Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt request
1. First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
If the device is powered by a slow rising VCC, the first Analog Comparator conversion will take longer than
expected on some devices.
Problem Fix / Workaround
When the device has been powered or reset, disable then enable theAnalog Comparator before the first
conversion.
2. Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
The interrupt will be lost if a timer register that is synchronous timer clock is written when the asynchronous
Timer/Counter register (TCNTx) is 0x00.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Always check that the asynchronous Timer/Counter register neither have the value 0xFF nor 0x00 before writing
to the asynchronous Timer Control Register (TCCRx), asynchronous Timer Counter Register (TCNTx), or
asynchronous Output Compare Register (OCRx).
3. Signature may be Erased in Serial Programming Mode
If the signature bytes are read before a chiperase command is completed, the signature may be erased causing
the device ID and calibration bytes to disappear. This is critical, especially, if the part is running on internal
RC oscillator.
Problem Fix / Workaround:
Ensure that the chiperase command has exceeded before applying the next command.
4. CKOPT Does not Enable Internal Capacitors on XTALn/TOSCn Pins when 32kHz Oscillator is Used to
Clock the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When the internal RC Oscillator is used as the main clock source, it is possible to run the Timer/Counter2
asynchronously by connecting a 32kHz Oscillator between XTAL1/TOSC1 and XTAL2/TOSC2. But when the
internal RC Oscillator is selected as the main clock source, the CKOPT Fuse does not control the internal
capacitors on XTAL1/TOSC1 and XTAL2/TOSC2. As long as there are no capacitors connected to
XTAL1/TOSC1 and XTAL2/TOSC2, safe operation of the Oscillator is not guaranteed.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Use external capacitors in the range of 20 - 36 pF on XTAL1/TOSC1 and XTAL2/TOSC2. This will be fixed in
ATmega8A Rev. G where the CKOPT Fuse will control internal capacitors also when internal RC Oscillator is
selected as main clock source. For ATmega8A Rev. G, CKOPT = 0 (programmed) will enable the internal
capacitors on XTAL1 and XTAL2. Customers who want compatibility between Rev. G and older revisions,
must ensure that CKOPT is unprogrammed (CKOPT = 1).ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 311
8159E–AVR–02/2013
5. Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt request.
Reading EEPROM by using the ST or STS command to set the EERE bit in the EECR register triggers an
unexpected EEPROM interrupt request.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Always use OUT or SBI to set EERE in EECR.ATmega8A [DATASHEET] 312

3 General information
This document targets the Atmel XMEGA-A1 Xplained evaluation kit, revision 9. The
schematic, layout, and bill of materials can be found online in the zip files associated
with this application note at:
http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR/xplain.asp?family_id=607&source=redirect.
The XMEGA-A1 Xplained kit is intended to demonstrate the Atmel ATxmega128A1
microcontroller, and the hardware that relates to the Atmel AT32UC3B1256 is,
therefore, not covered in this document.

3.1 Preprogrammed firmware
The Atmel ATxmega128A1 and AT32UC3B1256 that come with the Atmel XMEGAA1
Xplained kit are both preprogrammed.
The preprogrammed firmware in the XMEGA plays different sounds when the
mechanical button switches are pushed. Atmel AVR1924
3
8370C-AVR-12/11
The preprogrammed Atmel AT32UC3B1256 firmware offers features such as a boot
loader for self-programming and a UART-to-USB gateway.
3.2 Power supply
The kit is powered via the USB connector, which leaves two options to power it:
Connect the kit either to a PC through a USB cable, or to a 5V USB power supply
(AC/DC adapter).
3.3 Measuring the XMEGA power consumption
As part of an evaluation of the Atmel ATxmega128A1, it can be of interest to measure
its power consumption. The power jumper (J300) is connected between the 3.3V
regulated voltage from the regulator and the ATxmega128A1 supply. By replacing the
jumper with an ammeter, it is possible to measure the current consumption of the
ATxmega128A1. No other components are connected to the same supply as the
ATxmega128A1, and other components, therefore, do not affect the measurement of
the ATxmega128A1 current consumption (except the DC leakage in the decoupling
capacitors).
3.4 Programming the XMEGA through the UART-to-USB gateway
The ATxmega128A1 has a pre-programmed UART boot loader. How to program the
device through the UART-to-USB gateway is described in the Atmel application note
“AVR1927: XMEGA-A1 Xplained Getting started guide”.
3.5 Communication through the UART-to-USB gateway
The XMEGA UARTC0 is connected to a UART on the AT32UC3B1256. The
AT32UC3B1256 UART is communicating at 115200 baud, using one start bit, eight
data bits, one stop bit, and no parity.
When the AT32UC3B1256 device is enumerated (connected to a PC), the data
transmitted from the XMEGA is passed on to a (virtual) COM port. This means that it
is possible to use a terminal program to receive the transmitted data on a PC.
Similarly, data transmitted from the PC COM port is passed on to the XMEGA UART
through the gateway.
NOTE The AT32UC3B1256 is also connected to the shared SPI and TWI lines, and so it is
also possible to add TWI and SPI gateway functionality for these serial interfaces, if
desired. This gateway functionality is not available in the default firmware for the
AT32UC3B1256. Please refer to the schematics for more information about these
connections. 4 Atmel AVR1924
8370C-AVR-12/11
4 Connectors
The Atmel XMEGA-A1 Xplained kit has five 10-pin, 100mil headers. One header is
used for programming the Atmel ATxmega128A1, and the others are used to access
spare analog and digital pins on the XMEGA (expansion headers).
4.1 Programming headers
The XMEGA can be programmed and debugged by connecting an external
programming/debugging tool to the JTAG and PDI header (J201). The header has a
standard JTAG programmer pin-out (refer to online help in the Atmel AVR Studio),
and tools like the JTAGICE mkII or AVR ONE! can thus be connected directly to the
header. If it is desired to use PDI programming/debugging, an adapter must be used.
Due to physical differences of the JTAGICE mkII and AVR ONE! probes, the PCB has
an opening below the JTAG and PDI header. This is to make room for the orientation
tap on the JTAGICE mkII probe.
Because JTAG TDO and PDI DATA are connected on the PCB for this kit, JTAG
must be disabled on the device in order to use PDI. The reason for this is that when
JTAG is enabled it will enable a pull-up internally on TDO which interferes with the
PDI initialization sequence.
The connection of JTAG_TDO with PDI_DATA is also an issue when the application
on the device uses the JTAG_TDO pin e.g. by driving this pin actively or by using a
pull-up. This will interfere with ongoing PDI communication. Additionally, when JTAG
is disabled and the application is driving the JTAG_TDO pin it might even be not
possible to establish a PDI connection. A workaround for this is to add a ~1k resistor
from PDI_CLK/RESET to GND. This will keep the device in reset while PDI is
enabled. When a PDI connection is established the flash can be erased or JTAG can
be enabled in order to "unlock" the kit.

Notes: 1. Standard pin-out for JTAGICE mkII and other Atmel programming tools.
2. Requires adapter to connect a JTAGICE mkII (refer to AVR Studio help).
3. It is only required to connect on VCC/GND pin.
The Atmel AT32UC3B1256 can be programmed through its boot loader. The boot
loader is evoked by shorting the J600 jumper before applying power to the board. The Atmel AVR1924
5
8370C-AVR-12/11
programming is performed through the FLIP plug-in in AVR Studio (which can also be
started as a standalone application).
FLIP (Flexible In-system Programmer) is free Atmel proprietary software that runs on
Windows® 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP and Linux® x86. FLIP supports in-system programming
of flash devices through RS232, USB, or CAN.
Alternatively, the AT32UC3B1256 can be programmed by connecting a programming
tool, such as JTAGICE mkII, to test points TP600-607.
NOTE It is not recommended to program the AT32UC3B1256 using a programming tool, as
this will erase the boot loader.
4.2 I/O expansion headers
The XMEGA analog PORTA is available on the J2 header. This allows the user to
connect external signals to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), digital-to-analog
converter (DAC), and analog comparators on PORTA.
The XMEGA digital PORTF and PORTC are available on the J1 and J4 headers,
respectively. These ports feature general-purpose I/O and various communication
modules (USART, SPI, and TWI). PORTD and PORTF are mixed on the J3 header.
NOTE The communication modules on PORTC and PORTF can be interconnected to test
various functions and features: The USART can loop back communication with a
jumper, or communicate between the two USARTs on the port. The native SPI and
the USART in SPI master mode can be connected, and the TWI module can be
enabled in both master and slave modes at the same time to get loop-back behavior.
(Pull-up resistors can be mounted on R101 and R102. These are not mounted from
the factory.) 6 Atmel AVR1924
8370C-AVR-12/11
5 Attached memories
The Atmel XMEGA-A1 Xplained kit demonstrates how to use the external bus
interface (EBI) module to connect a 4-bit SDRAM. An 8MB SDRAM (16Mb x 4) is
attached in three-port EBI mode (PORTH, PORTK, and PORTJ). Atmel AVR1924
7
8370C-AVR-12/11
6 Miscellaneous I/O
6.1 Mechanical button switches
Eight mechanical button switches are connected to XMEGA PORTD(PD0:PD5) and
PORTR(PR0:PR1). Internal pull-ups should be enabled to detect when the buttons
are pushed, as they short the respective line to GND.
NOTE Buttons share the pins with the J3 header: Pushing the buttons potentially affects
communication or other functionality on these pins.
6.2 LEDs
Eight yellow LEDs are connected to XMEGA PORTE. The LEDs are active low, and
thus light up when the respective lines are output low by the XMEGA.
One green and one red LED are inside the same package and therefore the colors
can be mixed to orange when both are activated. The red LED can be activated by
driving the connected I/O line to GND. The green LED is controlled via a FET and is
by default on when the board is powered. However this power indicator LED can also
be turned off by driving the gate of the FET to GND. Both LEDs are controlled by the
Atmel AT32UC3B1256. The default firmware will use the red LED to signal activity on
the UART to USB bridge by toggling the LED.
6.3 Analog I/O
An NTC temperature sensor and a light sensor are connected to PORTB on PB0 and
PB1, respectively. These analog references can be used as input to the ADC.
An audio amplifier (and mono speaker) is connected to PORTB on pin PB2. This pin
is connected to the XMEGA DAC, and thus offers a way to generate sound. 8 Atmel AVR1924

8 Further code examples and drivers
Several Getting-Started trainings for the Atmel XMEGA-A1 Xplained kit can be
downloaded from the Atmel website. These trainings offer general introduction to
XMEGA peripherals. Please refer to AVR1500 through AVR1510.
Further information and drivers for XMEGA can be downloaded as application notes,
also distributed from the Atmel website. 10 Atmel AVR1924
8370C-AVR-12/11
9 Known issues
9.1 Light sensor
The output range of the light sensor is 0V – 3.3V. The ADC reference must therefore
be high enough to match the output range of the light sensor when performing
measurements.
9.2 USB test points
Touching the test points of the USB data lines on the reverse side of the board while
there is an ongoing communication, might interrupt the device and cause the device
to stop responding. The kit must be reconnected to start working properly again.
9.3 PDI initialization
Because JTAG_TDO and PDI_DATA are connected on the PCB for this kit, JTAG
must be disabled on the device in order to use PDI. The reason for this is that when
JTAG is enabled it will enable a pull-up internally on TDO which interferes with the
PDI initialization sequence.
The connection of JTAG_TDO with PDI_DATA is also an issue when the application
on the device uses the JTAG_TDO pin e.g. by driving this pin actively or by using a
pull-up. This will interfere with ongoing PDI communication. Additionally, when JTAG
is disabled and the application is driving the JTAG_TDO pin it might even not be
possible to establish a PDI connection. A workaround for this is to add a ~1k resistor
from PDI_CLK/RESET to GND. This will keep the device in reset while PDI is
enabled. When a PDI connection is established the flash can be erased or JTAG can
be enabled in order to "unlock" the kit. Atmel AVR1924

2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
The Atmel®AVR® core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.
All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The
resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATmega8 provides the following features: 8 Kbytes of In-System Programmable Flash with
Read-While-Write capabilities, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 1 Kbyte of SRAM, 23 general purpose
I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible Timer/Counters with compare
modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable USART, a byte oriented Twowire
Serial Interface, a 6-channel ADC (eight channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages) with
10-bit accuracy, a programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port,
and five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing
the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Powerdown
mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions
until the next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the asynchronous timer
continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.
The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous
timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the
crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very
fast start-up combined with low-power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The
Flash Program memory can be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a
conventional non-volatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip boot program running on the
AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the application program in the
Application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash Section will continue to run while the
Application Flash Section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining
an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel
ATmega8 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution
to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega8 is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools, including
C compilers, macro assemblers, program simulators, and evaluation kits.
Disclaimer Typical values contained in this datasheet are based on simulations and characterization of
other AVR microcontrollers manufactured on the same process technology. Minimum and Maximum
values will be available after the device is characterized.5

Port B (PB7..PB0)
XTAL1/XTAL2/TOSC1/
TOSC2
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the inverting Oscillator
amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the inverting
Oscillator amplifier.
If the Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB7..6 is used as TOSC2..1
input for the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.
The various special features of Port B are elaborated in “Alternate Functions of Port B” on page
58 and “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 25.
Port C (PC5..PC0) Port C is an 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port C output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
PC6/RESET If the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin. Note that the electrical characteristics
of PC6 differ from those of the other pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on this pin
for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running.
The minimum pulse length is given in Table 15 on page 38. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a Reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated on page 61.
Port D (PD7..PD0) Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port D output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega8 as listed on page
63.
RESET Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a
reset, even if the clock is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in Table 15 on page
38. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.6

ATmega8(L)
AVCC AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, Port C (3..0), and ADC (7..6). It should be
externally connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected
to VCC through a low-pass filter. Note that Port C (5..4) use digital supply voltage, VCC.
AREF AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
ADC7..6 (TQFP and
QFN/MLF Package
Only)
In the TQFP and QFN/MLF package, ADC7..6 serve as analog inputs to the A/D converter.
These pins are powered from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit ADC channels.7

ATmega8(L)
Atmel AVR CPU
Core
Introduction This section discusses the Atmel®AVR® core architecture in general. The main function of the
CPU core is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access
memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
Architectural
Overview
Figure 2. Block Diagram of the AVR MCU Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 32 × 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers

can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash Program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-register, Y-register, and Z-register, described later in
this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
The Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to
directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format.
Every Program memory address contains a 16-bit or 32-bit instruction.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot program section and the
Application program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock Bits for write and read/write
protection. The SPM instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory section must
reside in the Boot program section.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional global
interrupt enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data
Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F.11
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Arithmetic Logic
Unit – ALU
The high-performance Atmel®AVR® ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general
purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general
purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations
are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations
of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned
multiplication and fractional format. For a detailed description, see “Instruction Set Summary” on
page 311.
Status Register The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as
specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the
dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored
when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt
enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable
Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt
enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by
the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by
the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the Instruction Set Reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination
for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry is useful
in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.

• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction
Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a Carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set
Description” for detailed information.
General Purpose
Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve
the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 3 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 3. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and
most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 3, each register is also assigned a Data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-pointer, Y-pointer, and Z-pointer Registers can be set to index any register in
the file.

The X-register, Yregister
and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the Data Space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y and Z are defined as described in Figure 4.
Figure 4. The X-register, Y-register and Z-Register
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the Instruction Set Reference for details).
Stack Pointer The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack
with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto
the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when address is
popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of
bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations
of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register
will not be present.
Instruction
Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The
Atmel®AVR® CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock
source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.

Figure 5 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Reset and
Interrupt Handling
The Atmel®AVR® provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate
Reset Vector each have a separate Program Vector in the Program memory space. All interrupts
are assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the
Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt. Depending on
the Program Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when Boot Lock Bits
BLB02 or BLB12 are programmed. This feature improves software security. See the section
“Memory Programming” on page 215 for details.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of Vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 46. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the
priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request
0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of the boot Flash section by setting the Interrupt
Vector Select (IVSEL) bit in the General Interrupt Control Register (GICR). Refer to
“Interrupts” on page 46 for more information. The Reset Vector can also be moved to the start of
the boot Flash section by programming the BOOTRST Fuse, see “Boot Loader Support – ReadWhile-Write
Self-Programming” on page 202.

When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding
Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s)
to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is
cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the
global interrupt enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence.
Assembly Code Example

cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence

• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the Flash
memory. When this bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the beginning of the Boot
Loader section of the Flash. The actual address of the start of the boot Flash section is determined
by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the section “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write
Self-Programming” on page 202 for details. To avoid unintentional changes of Interrupt Vector
tables, a special write procedure must be followed to change the IVSEL bit:
1. Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled
in the cycle IVCE is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to
IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, interrupts remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the Status
Register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.
Note: If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is programmed,
interrupts are disabled while executing from the Application section. If Interrupt
Vectors are placed in the Application section and Boot Lock bit BLB12 is programed, interrupts
are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to the section “Boot Loader

• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by
hardware four cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable

ldi r16, (1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock
cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system
clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
External Clock Source An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock
(clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization
logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 30
shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization and edge detector
logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch
is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative
(CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.
Figure 30. T1/T0 Pin Sampling
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the T1/T0 pin to the counter is updated.
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least
one system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system
clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses

sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency
(Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency
and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is
recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

16-bit
Timer/Counter1
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),
wave generation, and signal timing measurement. The main features are:
• True 16-bit Design (that is, allows 16-bit PWM)
• Two Independent Output Compare Units
• Double Buffered Output Compare Registers
• One Input Capture Unit
• Input Capture Noise Canceler
• Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
• Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Variable PWM Period
• Frequency Generator
• External Event Counter
• Four Independent Interrupt Sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, and ICF1)
Overview Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit
channel. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be
used, that is, TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 32 on page 76. For the
actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers,
including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit
locations are listed in the “16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 96.76

Registers The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture Register
(ICR1) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-
bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on
page 77. The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU
access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible
in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer
Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers
are shared by other timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on
the T1 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter
uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source
is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT1).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the Timer/Counter
value at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to
generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare Pin (OC1A/B). See “Output
Compare Units” on page 83. The Compare Match event will also set the Compare Match
Flag (OCF1A/B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.

The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered)
event on either the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) or on the Analog Comparator pins (see
“Analog Comparator” on page 186). The Input Capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (Noise
Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined
by either the OCR1A Register, the ICR1 Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using
OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCR1A Register can not be used for generating a
PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowing the TOP
value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICR1 Register can be used
as an alternative, freeing the OCR1A to be used as PWM output.
Definitions The following definitions are used extensively throughout the document:
Compatibility The 16-bit Timer/Counter has been updated and improved from previous versions of the 16-bit
AVR Timer/Counter. This 16-bit Timer/Counter is fully compatible with the earlier version
regarding:
• All 16-bit Timer/Counter related I/O Register address locations, including Timer Interrupt
Registers
• Bit locations inside all 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers, including Timer Interrupt Registers
• Interrupt Vectors
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register location:
• PWM10 is changed to WGM10
• PWM11 is changed to WGM11
• CTC1 is changed to WGM12
The following bits are added to the 16-bit Timer/Counter Control Registers:
• FOC1A and FOC1B are added to TCCR1A
• WGM13 is added to TCCR1B
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has improvements that will affect the compatibility in some special
cases.
Accessing 16-bit
Registers
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via
the 8-bit data bus. The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations.
The 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for temporary storing of the High byte of the 16-bit
access. The same temporary register is shared between all 16-bit registers within the 16-bit
timer. Accessing the Low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When the Low byte of a
16-bit register is written by the CPU, the High byte stored in the temporary register, and the Low
byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the Low byte
Table 35. Definitions
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal
65535).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one
of the fixed values: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in
the OCR1A or ICR1 Register. The assignment is dependent of the mode
of operation.78
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
of a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the High byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary
register in the same clock cycle as the Low byte is read.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the High byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-
bit registers does not involve using the temporary register.
To do a 16-bit write, the High byte must be written before the Low byte. For a 16-bit read, the
Low byte must be read before the High byte.
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit Timer Registers assuming that no
interrupts updates the temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing
the OCR1A/B and ICR1 Registers. Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit
access.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 8
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 Register pair.
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt
occurs between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code
updates the temporary register by accessing the same or any other of the 16-bit Timer Registers,
then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when both
the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary register, the main code must disable
the interrupts during the 16-bit access.
The following code examples show how to do an atomic read of the TCNT1 Register contents.
Reading any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the same principle.

The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNT1 Register contents.
Writing any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 8
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 Register pair contains the value to be written
to TCNT1.
Reusing the
Temporary High Byte
Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the High byte is the same for all registers written,
then the High byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of
atomic operation described previously also applies in this case.
Timer/Counter
Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source
is selected by the clock select logic which is controlled by the clock select (CS12:0) bits located
in the Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR1B). For details on clock sources and prescaler,
see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 73.
Counter Unit The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit.

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: counter high (TCNT1H) containing
the upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight
bits. The TCNT1H Register can only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an
access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the High byte temporary register
(TEMP). The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read,
and TCNT1H is updated with the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows
the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data
bus. It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1 Register when
the counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in
the sections where they are of importance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT1). The clkT1 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the clock select bits (CS12:0). When no clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU, independent of
whether clkT1 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits
(WGM13:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B).
There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms
are generated on the Output Compare Outputs OC1x. For more details about advanced counting
sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 87.
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV1) fLag is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM13:0 bits. TOV1 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
Input Capture Unit The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give
them a time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple
events, can be applied via the ICP1 pin or alternatively, via the Analog Comparator unit.

The time-stamps can then be used to calculate frequency, duty-cycle, and other features of the
signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating a log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 34. The elements of
the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded. The

When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture Pin (ICP1), alternatively
on the Analog Comparator Output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge
detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter
(TCNT1) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICR1). The Input Capture Flag (ICF1) is set at
the same system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1 Register. If enabled (TICIE1 =
1), the Input Capture Flag generates an Input Capture interrupt. The ICF1 Flag is automatically
cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF1 Flag can be cleared by software
by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICR1) is done by first reading the Low
byte (ICR1L) and then the High byte (ICR1H). When the Low byte is read the High byte is copied
into the High byte temporary register (TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will
access the TEMP Register.
The ICR1 Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that utilizes
the ICR1 Register for defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the Waveform Generation
mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICR1
Register. When writing the ICR1 Register the High byte must be written to the ICR1H I/O location
before the Low byte is written to ICR1L.

on page 77.

unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by setting the Analog Comparator
Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register (ACSR). Be
aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The Input Capture Flag must therefore
be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) and the Analog Comparator Output (ACO) inputs are sampled
using the same technique as for the T1 pin (Figure 30 on page 73). The edge detector is also
identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the
edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. Note that the input of the
noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the Timer/Counter is set in a Waveform
Generation mode that uses ICR1 to define TOP.
An Input Capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP1 pin.
Noise Canceler The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The
noise canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the
output that in turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNC1) bit in
Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR1B). When enabled the noise canceler introduces additional
four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to the update of the
ICR1 Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the
prescaler.
Using the Input
Capture Unit
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity
for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has
not read the captured value in the ICR1 Register before the next event occurs, the ICR1 will be
overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICR1 Register should be read as early in the interrupt
handler routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has relatively high
priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum number of clock
cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is
actively changed during operation, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after
each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1
Register has been read. After a change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag (ICF1) must be
cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,
the clearing of the ICF1 Flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).
Output Compare
Units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR1x). If TCNT equals OCR1x the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output
Compare Flag (OCF1x) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE1x = 1), the Output Compare
Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF1x Flag is automatically cleared
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1x Flag can be cleared by software by writing
a logical one to its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to
generate an output according to operating mode set by the Waveform Generation mode
(WGM13:0) bits and Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals
are used by the waveform generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in
some modes of operation (see “Modes of Operation” on page 87).
A special feature of Output Compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP value (that
is counter resolution). In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period
time for waveforms generated by the waveform generator.84

Figure 35 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The small “n” in the register and
bit names indicates the device number (n = 1 for Timer/Counter 1), and the “x” indicates Output
Compare unit (A/B). The elements of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Output
Compare unit are gray shaded.
Figure 35. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR1x Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double
buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR1x Compare
Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR1x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR1x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR1x directly. The content of the OCR1x (Buffer or Compare)
Register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/Counter does not update this register
automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Register). Therefore OCR1x is not read via the High byte
temporary register (TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the Low byte first as when
accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCR1x Registers must be done via the TEMP Register
since the compare of all 16-bit is done continuously. The High byte (OCR1xH) has to be
written first. When the High byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be
updated by the value written. Then when the Low byte (OCR1xL) is written to the lower eight
bits, the High byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCR1x buffer or OCR1x Compare
Register in the same system clock cycle.

Force Output
Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the
OCF1x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC1x pin will be updated as if a real Compare
Match had occurred (the COM1x1:0 bits settings define whether the OC1x pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
Compare Match
Blocking by TCNT1
Write
All CPU writes to the TCNT1 Register will block any Compare Match that occurs in the next timer
clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1x to be initialized to the
same value as TCNT1 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
Using the Output
Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT1 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the Output Compare
channels, independent of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to
TCNT1 equals the OCR1x value, the Compare Match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP
values. The Compare Match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to
0xFFFF. Similarly, do not write the TCNT1 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
downcounting.
The setup of the OC1x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC1x value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC1x) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC1x Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM1x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM1x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.
Compare Match
Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses
the COM1x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC1x) state at the next Compare Match.
Secondly the COM1x1:0 bits control the OC1x pin output source. Figure 36 on page 86 shows a
simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM1x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O
bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control
Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM1x1:0 bits are shown. When referring
to the OC1x state, the reference is for the internal OC1x Register, not the OC1x pin. If a System
Reset occur, the OC1x Register is reset to “0”.86
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Figure 36. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC1x) from the waveform
generator if either of the COM1x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC1x pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC1x pin (DDR_OC1x) must be set as output before the OC1x value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the Waveform Generation
mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 36 on page 96, Table 37 on page 96 and
Table 38 on page 97 for details.
The design of the Output Compare Pin logic allows initialization of the OC1x state before the
output is enabled. Note that some COM1x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation.
See “16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 96.

Compare Output Mode
and Waveform
Generation
The waveform generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the
OC1x Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For compare output actions in
the non-PWM modes refer to Table 36 on page 96. For fast PWM mode refer to Table 37 on
page 96, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 38 on page
97.
A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC1x strobe bits.
Modes of
Operation
The mode of operation (that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins)
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM1x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM1x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a Compare
Match. See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 85.
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 94.
Normal Mode The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM13:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the
BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) will be set in
the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 becomes zero. The TOV1 Flag in this case behaves
like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow
interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be
written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maximum
interval between the external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval
between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to
extend the resolution for the capture unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the
Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
Clear Timer on
Compare Match (CTC)
Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1 Register
are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when
the counter value (TCNT1) matches either the OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1 (WGM13:0 =
12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This
mode allows greater control of the Compare Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation
of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 37 on page 88. The counter value
(TCNT1) increases until a Compare Match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter
(TCNT1) is cleared.88
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Figure 37. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either
using the OCF1A or ICF1 Flag according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However,
changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a
low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering
feature. If the new value written to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current value of
TCNT1, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum
value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can occur.
In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode
using OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 = 15) since the OCR1A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency
of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform frequency is
defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV1 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
Fast PWM Mode The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) provides a
high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM
options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts
from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared
on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare
Output mode output is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope
operation, the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct
and phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dual-slope operation. This high
frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC
applications. High frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors),
hence reduces total system cost.
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-bit, 9-bit, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1
or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the

maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be
calculated by using the following equation:
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the
fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 =
14), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 15). The counter is then cleared at the following timer
clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 38. The figure shows
fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing
diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes
non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes
represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set
when a Compare Match occurs.
Figure 38. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition
the OCF1A or ICF1 Flag is set at the same timer clock cycle as TOV1 is set when either OCR1A
or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value. If one of the interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler
routine can be used for updating the TOP and compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1x Registers are written.
The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP
value. The ICR1 Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low
value when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new
ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of TCNT1. The result will then be that the
counter will miss the Compare Match at the TOP value. The counter will then have to count to
the MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can
occur. The OCR1A Register, however, is double buffered. This feature allows the OCR1A I/O
location to be written anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is written the value written will be
put into the OCR1A Buffer Register. The OCR1A Compare Register will then be updated with
the value in the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNT1 matches TOP. The
update is done at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 is cleared and the TOV1 Flag is set.

Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICR1, the OCR1A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCR1A
as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins.
Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 37 on page 96. The actual OC1x
value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output
(DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x Register at
the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at
the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output
will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR1x equal to TOP
will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the
COM1x1:0 bits).
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC1A to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COM1A1:0 = 1). This applies only
if OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 15). The waveform generated will have
a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is
similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare
unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
Phase Correct PWM
Mode
The phase correct Pulse Width Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, 3,
10, or 11) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The
phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dualslope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from
TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is
cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while upcounting, and set on the
Compare Match while downcounting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is
inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope
operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes
are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-bit, 9-bit, or 10-bit, or
defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set
to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution
in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either
one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICR1
(WGM13:0 = 10), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 11). The counter has then reached the
TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock
cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 39 on page 91.
The figure shows phase correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The
TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operaf

tion. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line
marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The
OC1x Interrupt Flag will be set when a Compare Match occurs.
Figure 39. Phase Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When
either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 Flag is set accordingly
at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x Registers are updated with the double buffer
value (at TOP). The Interrupt Flags can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter
reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1x Registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 39 illustrates, changing the
TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the Phase Correct mode can result in an
unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in the time of update of the OCR1x Register.
Since the OCR1x update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This
implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the
length of the rising slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the
two slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the unsymmetrical
result on the output.
It is recommended to use the Phase and Frequency Correct mode instead of the Phase Correct
mode when changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static
TOP value there are practically no differences between the two modes of operation.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 38 on page 97. The
actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as
output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x Register
at the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and
clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when

the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can
be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
If OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WMG13:0 = 11) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output
will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.

mode (WGM13:0 = 8 or 9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform
generation option. The phase and frequency correct PWM mode is, like the phase correct
PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM
(0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the
Output Compare (OC1x) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while
upcounting, and set on the Compare Match while downcounting. In inverting Compare Output
mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency
compared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the
dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM
mode is the time the OCR1x Register is updated by the OCR1x Buffer Register, (see Figure 39
on page 91 and Figure 40 on page 93).
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either
ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and
the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can
be calculated using the following equation:
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value
matches either the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 8), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 9). The
counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be
equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct and frequency
correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 40 on page 93. The figure shows phase and frequency
correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the
timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram
includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1
slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x Interrupt Flag will
be set when a Compare Match occurs.

Figure 40. Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x
Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCR1A or ICR1
is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 Flag set when TCNT1 has reached TOP.
The Interrupt Flags can then be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the
TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.
As Figure 40 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the Phase Correct mode, symmetrical
in all periods. Since the OCR1x Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising and
the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore frequency
correct.
Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICR1, the OCR1A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by changing the TOP value, using the OCR1A as
TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms
on the OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and
an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to 3. See Table 38 on page
97. The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin
is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the
OC1x Register at the Compare Match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments,
and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at Compare Match between OCR1x and
TCNT1 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase
and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the

output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be set to high for noninverted
PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
If OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 9) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output
will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.

Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT1) is therefore shown as a
clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt
Flags are set, and when the OCR1x Register is updated with the OCR1x buffer value (only for
modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 41 shows a timing diagram for the setting of OCF1x.

Description
Timer/Counter 1
Control Register A –
TCCR1A
• Bit 7:6 – COM1A1:0: Compare Output Mode for channel A
• Bit 5:4 – COM1B1:0: Compare Output Mode for channel B
The COM1A1:0 and COM1B1:0 control the Output Compare Pins (OC1A and OC1B respectively)
behavior. If one or both of the COM1A1:0 bits are written to one, the OC1A output
overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the
COM1B1:0 bit are written to one, the OC1B output overrides the normal port functionality of the
I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding
to the OC1A or OC1B pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OC1A or OC1B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1x1:0 bits is dependent
of the WGM13:0 bits setting. Table 36 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the
WGM13:0 bits are set to a normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 37 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the fast PWM
mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. In
this case the Compare Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast
PWM Mode” on page 88 for more details

“Phase Correct PWM Mode” on page 90 for more details
• Bit 3 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for channel A
• Bit 2 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare for channel B
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are only active when the WGM13:0 bits specifies a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to zero when
TCCR1A is written when operating in a PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the
FOC1A/FOC1B bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on the waveform generation unit.
The OC1A/OC1B output is changed according to its COM1x1:0 bits setting. Note that the
FOC1A/FOC1B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the
COM1x1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear Timer
on Compare Match (CTC) mode using OCR1A as TOP.
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are always read as zero.
• Bit 1:0 – WGM11:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM13:2 bits found in the TCCR1B Register, these bits control the counting
sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform
generation to be used, see Table 39. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter
unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode, and three types
of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes (see “Modes of Operation” on page 87).

Timer/Counter 1
Control Register B –
TCCR1B
• Bit 7 – ICNC1: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture Noise Canceler. When the noise canceler is
activated, the input from the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) is filtered. The filter function requires four
successive equal valued samples of the ICP1 pin for changing its output. The Input Capture is
therefore delayed by four Oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture Pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture
event. When the ICES1 bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and
when the ICES1 bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICES1 setting, the counter value is copied into the
Input Capture Register (ICR1). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICF1), and this
can be used to cause an Input Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.
When the ICR1 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM13:0 bits located in the
TCCR1A and the TCCR1B Register), the ICP1 is disconnected and consequently the Input Capture
function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be
written to zero when TCCR1B is written.
• Bit 4:3 – WGM13:2: Waveform Generation Mode
See TCCR1A Register description.

If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter1, transitions on the T1 pin will clock the
counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the
counting.
Timer/Counter 1 –
TCNT1H and TCNT1L
The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNT1H and TCNT1L, combined TCNT1) give direct
access, both for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To
ensure that both the high and Low bytes are read and written simultaneously when the CPU
accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High byte Register
(TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit
Registers” on page 77.
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a Compare
Match between TCNT1 and one of the OCR1x Registers.
Writing to the TCNT1 Register blocks (removes) the Compare Match on the following timer clock
for all compare units.

The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT1). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare Interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC1x pin.
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and Low bytes
are written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed
using an 8-bit temporary High byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the
other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 77.
Input Capture Register
1 – ICR1H and ICR1L
The Input Capture is updated with the counter (TCNT1) value each time an event occurs on the
ICP1 pin (or optionally on the Analog Comparator Output for Timer/Counter1). The Input Capture
can be used for defining the counter TOP value.
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and Low bytes are read

Note that a Forced Output Compare (FOC1A) strobe will not set the OCF1A Flag.
OCF1A is automatically cleared when the Output Compare Match A Interrupt Vector is executed.
Alternatively, OCF1A can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
• Bit 3 – OCF1B: Timer/Counter1, Output Compare B Match Flag
This flag is set in the timer clock cycle after the counter (TCNT1) value matches the Output
Compare Register B (OCR1B).
Note that a Forced Output Compare (FOC1B) strobe will not set the OCF1B Flag.
OCF1B is automatically cleared when the Output Compare Match B Interrupt Vector is executed.
Alternatively, OCF1B can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.
• Bit 2 – TOV1: Timer/Counter1, Overflow Flag
The setting of this flag is dependent of the WGM13:0 bits setting. In normal and CTC modes, the

Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single channel, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. The main
features are:
• Single Channel Counter
• Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
• Glitch-free, phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Frequency Generator
• 10-bit Clock Prescaler
• Overflow and Compare Match Interrupt Sources (TOV2 and OCF2)
• Allows Clocking from External 32kHz Watch Crystal Independent of the I/O Clock
Overview A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 45. For the actual placement
of I/O pins, refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers,
including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations
are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 114.

Registers The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt
request (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR).
All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and
TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers are shared by other timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from
the TOSC1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by
the Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR). The Clock Select logic block controls which clock
source the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive
when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the
timer clock (clkT2).
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2) is compared with the Timer/Counter
value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate
a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare Pin (OC2). For details, see “Output
Compare Unit” on page 105. The Compare Match event will also set the Compare Flag (OCF2)
which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.
Definitions Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used (that is, TCNT2 for accessing
Timer/Counter2 counter value and so on).
The definitions in Table 41 are also used extensively throughout the document.
Timer/Counter
Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous
clock source. The clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS2
bit in the ASSR Register is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter
Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For details on asynchronous operation, see “Asynchronous
Status Register – ASSR” on page 117. For details on clock sources and prescaler, see
“Timer/Counter Prescaler” on page 120.
Table 41. Definitions
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF
(MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2 Register. The assignment is dependent
on the mode of operation.104

Counter Unit The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure
46 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.

direction Selects between increment and decrement
clear Clear TCNT2 (set all bits to zero)
clkT2 Timer/Counter clock
TOP Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached maximum value
BOTTOM Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero)
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the clock select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is selected (CS22:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits located in
the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2). There are close connections between how the
counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare Output
OC2. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see
“Modes of Operation” on page 108.
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV2) Flag is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM21:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

Output Compare
Unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR2). Whenever TCNT2 equals OCR2, the comparator signals a match. A match will set the
Output Compare Flag (OCF2) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE2 = 1), the Output
Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF2 Flag is automatically cleared
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF2 Flag can be cleared by software by writing
a logical one to its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to
generate an output according to operating mode set by the WGM21:0 bits and Compare Output
mode (COM21:0) bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the waveform generator for handling
the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (see “Modes of
Operation” on page 108).
Figure 47 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit.
Figure 47. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram
The OCR2 Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering
is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR2 Compare Register
to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the occurrence
of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR2 Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR2 Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR2 directly.

Force Output
Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC2) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the
OCF2 Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC2 pin will be updated as if a real Compare Match
had occurred (the COM21:0 bits settings define whether the OC2 pin is set, cleared or toggled).
Compare Match
Blocking by TCNT2
Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any Compare Match that occurs in the
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR2 to be initialized
to the same value as TCNT2 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is
enabled.
Using the Output
Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the Output Compare channel,
independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT2
equals the OCR2 value, the Compare Match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation.
Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
downcounting.
The setup of the OC2 should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port
pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC2 value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC2) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC2 Register keeps its value even when changing
between waveform generation modes.
Be aware that the COM21:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM21:0 bits will take effect immediately.107
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Compare Match
Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses
the COM21:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC2) state at the next Compare Match.
Also, the COM21:0 bits control the OC2 pin output source. Figure 48 shows a simplified schematic
of the logic affected by the COM21:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in
the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers (DDR and
PORT) that are affected by the COM21:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC2 state, the
reference is for the internal OC2 Register, not the OC2 pin.
Figure 48. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2) from the waveform
generator if either of the COM21:0 bits are set. However, the OC2 pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction Register
bit for the OC2 pin (DDR_OC2) must be set as output before the OC2 value is visible on the
pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare Pin logic allows initialization of the OC2 state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COM21:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 114.

Compare Output Mode
and Waveform
Generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM21:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM21:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC2
Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For compare output actions in the nonPWM
modes refer to Table 43 on page 115. For fast PWM mode, refer to Table 44 on page 115,
and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 45 on page 116.
A change of the COM21:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC2 strobe bits.
Modes of
Operation
The mode of operation (that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins)
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM21:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM21:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM21:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM21:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a Compare
Match (see “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 107).
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 112.
Normal Mode The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM21:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom
(0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) will be set in the same
timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The TOV2 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth
bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV2 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written
anytime.
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.109
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Clear Timer on
Compare Match (CTC)
Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM21:0 = 2), the OCR2 Register is used to manipulate
the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value
(TCNT2) matches the OCR2. The OCR2 defines the top value for the counter, hence also its
resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare Match output frequency. It also simplifies
the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 49. The counter value (TCNT2)
increases until a Compare Match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2, and then counter (TCNT2)
is cleared.
Figure 49. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the
OCF2 Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the
TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running
with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not
have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR2 is lower than the current
value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to
its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can
occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2 output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM21:0 = 1). The OC2 value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for the
pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC2 = fclk_I/O/2
when OCR2 is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x00.

Fast PWM Mode The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 3) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its single-slope
operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to MAX then restarts from BOTTOM. In
non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2) is cleared on the Compare
Match between TCNT2 and OCR2, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the
output is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the
operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM
mode that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited
for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX value.
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast
PWM mode is shown in Figure 50. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted
PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare
matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.
Figure 50. Fast PWM Mode, Timing Diagram
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches MAX. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2 pin. Setting
the COM21:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can
be generated by setting the COM21:0 to 3 (see Table 44 on page 115). The actual OC2 value
will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM
waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC2 Register at the Compare Match between
OCR2 and TCNT2, and clearing (or setting) the OC2 Register at the timer clock cycle the counter
is cleared (changes from MAX to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).

The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be
a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR2 equal to MAX will result in a
constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM21:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC2 to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COM21:0 = 1). The waveform
generated will have a maximum frequency of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2 is set to zero. This feature
is similar to the OC2 toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output
Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
Phase Correct PWM
Mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM
waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope operation.
The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX and then from MAX to BOTTOM. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2) is cleared on the Compare Match
between TCNT2 and OCR2 while upcounting, and set on the Compare Match while downcounting.
In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has
lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase correct
PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches MAX. When the counter
reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The TCNT2 value will be equal to MAX for one
timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 51.
The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope
operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal
line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The
Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM
value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC2 pin. Setting the COM21:0 bits to 2 will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM21:0 to 3 (see Table 45 on page 116). The actual OC2
value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The
PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC2 Register at the Compare Match
between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC2
Register at Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The
PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to BOTTOM, the output
will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for noninverted
PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 51 on page 111 OCn has a transition from high to low even
though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry around
BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match:
• OCR2A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 51 on page 111. When the OCR2A value
is MAX the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To
ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result of
an up-counting Compare Match
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the
way up
Timer/Counter

The following figures show the Timer/Counter in Synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT2)
is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In Asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by
the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are
set. Figure 52 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the
count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

Description
Timer/Counter Control
Register – TCCR2
• Bit 7 – FOC2: Force Output Compare
The FOC2 bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode. However, for ensuring
compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2 is written when
operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2 bit, an immediate Compare
Match is forced on the waveform generation unit. The OC2 output is changed according to its
COM21:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2 bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the
value present in the COM21:0 bits that determines the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2 strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using
OCR2 as TOP.
The FOC2 bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6:3 – WGM21:0: Waveform Generation Mode
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum (TOP)
counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of operation supported
by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode, Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode, and
two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See Table 42 on page 115 and “Modes of
Operation” on page 108.

• Bit 5:4 – COM21:0: Compare Match Output Mode
These bits control the Output Compare Pin (OC2) behavior. If one or both of the COM21:0 bits
are set, the OC2 output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to.
However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to OC2 pin must be set
in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2 is connected to the pin, the function of the COM21:0 bits depends on the WGM21:0
bit setting.
Table 43 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to a normal or
CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 44 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM
mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2 equals TOP and COM21 is set. In this case, the Compare
Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast PWM Mode” on page 110

Timer/Counter
Register – TCNT2
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 Register blocks (removes) the Compare

introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between TCNT2 and the OCR2 Register.
Output Compare

The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the

1 (TOSC1) pin. When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2, and
TCCR2 might be corrupted.
• Bit 2 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 1 – OCR2UB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2UB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is
set, the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 are different. When reading TCNT2,
the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2 or TCCR2, the value in the temporary storage
register is read.
Asynchronous
Operation of
Timer/Counter2
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of
Timer/Counter2, the Timer Registers TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be corrupted. A
safe procedure for switching clock source is:
1. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2 and TOIE2
2. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate
3. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2
4. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2UB, OCR2UB, and TCR2UB
5. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags
6. Enable interrupts, if needed
• The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz watch crystal. Applying an external
clock to the TOSC1 pin may result in incorrect Timer/Counter2 operation. The CPU main
clock frequency must be more than four times the Oscillator frequency
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the value is transferred to a
temporary register, and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not

write a new value before the contents of the temporary register have been transferred to its
destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have their individual temporary register,
which means that, for example, writing to TCNT2 does not disturb an OCR2 write in
progress. To detect that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the
Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR has been implemented
• When entering Power-save mode after having written to TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the user
must wait until the written register has been updated if Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up
the device. Otherwise, the MCU will enter sleep mode before the changes are effective. This
is particularly important if the Output Compare2 interrupt is used to wake up the device,
since the Output Compare function is disabled during writing to OCR2 or TCNT2. If the write
cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode before the OCR2UB bit returns to
zero, the device will never receive a Compare Match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up
• If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save mode, precautions must
be taken if the user wants to re-enter one of these modes: The interrupt logic needs one
TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time between wake-up and re-entering sleep mode is less
than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not occur, and the device will fail to wake up. If the
user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering Power-save or Extended Standby mode
is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has
elapsed:
1. Write a value to TCCR2, TCNT2, or OCR2
2. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero
3. Enter Power-save or Extended Standby mode
• When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768kHZ Oscillator for Timer/Counter2
is always running, except in Power-down and Standby modes. After a Power-up Reset or
Wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this
Oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at
least one second before using Timer/Counter2 after Power-up or Wake-up from Power-down
or Standby mode. The contents of all Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost
after a wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon startup,
no matter whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin
• Description of wake up from Power-save or Extended Standby mode when the timer is
clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up process is started
on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the timer is always advanced by at least one
before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four
cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction
following SLEEP
• Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an
incorrect result. Since TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading TCNT2
must be done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain.
Synchronization takes place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When waking up from Powersave
mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will read as the previous
value (before entering sleep) until the next rising TOSC1 edge. The phase of the TOSC
clock after waking up from Power-save mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on
the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:
1. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2 or TCCR2
2. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared
3. Read TCNT2119
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
• During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the
asynchronous timer takes three processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore
advanced by at least one before the processor can read the timer value causing the setting
of the Interrupt Flag. The Output Compare Pin is changed on the timer clock and is not
synchronized to the processor clock

• Bit 7 – OCIE2: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if
a Compare Match in Timer/Counter2 occurs (that is, when the OCF2 bit is set in the
Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR).
• Bit 6 – TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable
When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the

• Bit 7 – OCF2: Output Compare Flag 2
The OCF2 bit is set (one) when a Compare Match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2 – Output Compare Register2. OCF2 is cleared by hardware when executing the
corresponding interrupt Handling Vector. Alternatively, OCF2 is cleared by writing a logic one to
the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Compare Match Interrupt Enable), and
OCF2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare Match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 6 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt Handling Vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is
cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Overflow
Interrupt Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In
PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at 0x00.

Timer/Counter
Prescaler
Figure 56. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to the main
system I/O clock clkI/O. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously
clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter
(RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from Port B. A crystal can
then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an independent clock
source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. Applying
an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT2S/8, clkT2S/32, clkT2S/64,
clkT2S/128, clkT2S/256, and clkT2S/1024. Additionally, clkT2S as well as 0 (stop) may be selected.
Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a predictable
prescaler.

• Bit 1 – PSR2: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is written to one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. The bit will be cleared
by hardware after the operation is performed. Writing a zero to this bit will have no effect. This bit
will always be read as zero if Timer/Counter2 is clocked by the internal CPU clock. If this bit is
written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in Asynchronous mode, the bit will remain one until
the prescaler has been reset.

Serial
Peripheral
Interface – SPI
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the
ATmega8 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices. The ATmega8 SPI includes
the following features:
• Full-duplex, Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer
• Master or Slave Operation
• LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer
• Seven Programmable Bit Rates
• End of Transmission Interrupt Flag
• Write Collision Flag Protection
• Wake-up from Idle Mode
• Double Speed (CK/2) Master SPI Mode
Figure 57. SPI Block Diagram(1)
Note: 1. Refer to “Pin Configurations” on page 2, and Table 22 on page 58 for SPI pin placement
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 58 on page
122. The system consists of two Shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Master
initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the desired Slave.
Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective Shift Registers, and the Master
generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted
from Master to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the
Master In – Slave Out, MISO, line. After each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave
by pulling high the Slave Select, SS, line.
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This
must be handled by user software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a SPI2X SPI2X

byte to the SPI Data Register starts the SPI clock generator, and the hardware shifts the eight
bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting the end of
Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI interrupt enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR Register is set, an
interrupt is requested. The Master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or
signal the end of packet by pulling high the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be
kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long
as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI Data
Register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin
until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of Transmission
Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI interrupt enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt is
requested. The Slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading the
incoming data. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
Figure 58. SPI Master-Slave Interconnection
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction.
This means that bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data Register before
the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, however, a received character must be
read from the SPI Data Register before the next character has been completely shifted in. Otherwise,
the first byte is lost.
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure
correct sampling of the clock signal, the minimum low and high periods should be:
Low period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles
High period: longer than 2 CPU clock cycles
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden
according to Table 47. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to “Alternate Port
Functions” on page 56.
Note: 1. See “Port B Pins Alternate Functions” on page 58 for a detailed description of how to define
the direction of the user defined SPI pins

The following code examples show how to initialize the SPI as a Master and how to perform a
simple transmission. DDR_SPI in the examples must be replaced by the actual Data Direction
Register controlling the SPI pins. DD_MOSI, DD_MISO and DD_SCK must be replaced by the
actual data direction bits for these pins. For example if MOSI is placed on pin PB5, replace
DD_MOSI with DDB5 and DDR_SPI with DDRB.

Receive Compete Flag
and Interrupt
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the Receiver state.
The Receive Complete (RXC) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer.
This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive
buffer is empty (that is, does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXEN =
0), the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXC bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIE) in UCSRB is set, the USART Receive
Complete Interrupt will be executed as long as the RXC Flag is set (provided that global interrupts
are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete routine
must read the received data from UDR in order to clear the RXC Flag, otherwise a new interrupt
will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
Receiver Error Flags The USART Receiver has three error flags: Frame Error (FE), Data OverRun (DOR) and Parity
Error (PE). All can be accessed by reading UCSRA. Common for the error flags is that they are
located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they indicate the error status. Due
to the buffering of the error flags, the UCSRA must be read before the receive buffer (UDR),
since reading the UDR I/O location changes the buffer read location. Another equality for the
error flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to the flag location. However,
all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRA is written for upward compatibility of future
USART implementations. None of the error flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FE) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame
stored in the receive buffer. The FE Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one),
and the FE Flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for
detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling. The FE Flag
is not affected by the setting of the USBS bit in UCSRC since the Receiver ignores all, except for
the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to
UCSRA.
The Data OverRun (DOR) Flag indicates data loss due to a Receiver buffer full condition. A Data
OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in
the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DOR Flag is set there was one
or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from UDR, and the next frame read from
UDR. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.
The DOR Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from the Shift Register
to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (PE) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a parity error
when received. If parity check is not enabled the PE bit will always be read zero. For compatibility
with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA. For more details see
“Parity Bit Calculation” on page 134 and “Parity Checker” .
Parity Checker The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPM1) bit is set. Type of parity
check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPM0 bit. When enabled, the Parity
Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with
the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is stored in the receive buffer together
with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (PE) Flag can then be read by software to
check if the frame had a parity error.
The PE bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a parity error
when received and the parity checking was enabled at that point (UPM1 = 1). This bit is valid
until the receive buffer (UDR) is read.142
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Disabling the Receiver In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing
receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (that is, the RXEN is set to zero) the Receiver
will no longer override the normal function of the RxD port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be
flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer will be lost
Flushing the Receive
Buffer
The Receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled (that is, the buffer will be
emptied of its contents). Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal
operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDR I/O location until the RXC Flag is
cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “About Code Examples” on page 8
Asynchronous
Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data
reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate
clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin. The data recovery logic samples
and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the
Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal
baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
Asynchronous Clock
Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 65
illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times
the baud rate for Normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double Speed mode. The horizontal
arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process. Note the
larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode (U2X = 1) of operation. Samples
denoted zero are samples done when the RxD line is idle (that is, no communication activity).
Figure 65. Start Bit Sampling
When the clock recovery logic detects a high (idle) to low (start) transition on the RxD line, the
start bit detection sequence is initiated. Let sample 1 denote the first zero-sample as shown in

Serial Programming
Algorithm
When writing serial data to the ATmega8, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the ATmega8, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure
113 on page 232 for timing details.
To program and verify the ATmega8 in the Serial Programming mode, the following sequence is
recommended (see four byte instruction formats in Table 98 on page 233):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems,
the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during Power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”
2. Wait for at least 20ms and enable Serial Programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI
3. The Serial Programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third
byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all four
bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a
positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The page size is found in Table 89 on
page 218. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 5 LSB of the
address and data together with the Load Program memory Page instruction. To ensure
correct loading of the page, the data Low byte must be loaded before data High byte is
applied for a given address. The Program memory Page is stored by loading the Write
Program memory Page instruction with the 7MSB of the address. If polling is not used,
the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page (see Table 97 on page
232).
Note: If other commands than polling (read) are applied before any write operation (FLASH,
EEPROM, Lock Bits, Fuses) is completed, it may result in incorrect programming
5. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and data
together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first
automatically erased before new data is written. If polling is not used, the user must wait
at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (see Table 97 on page 232). In a chip
erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the content
at the selected address at serial output MISO
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”
Turn VCC power off
Data Polling Flash When a page is being programmed into the Flash, reading an address location within the page
being programmed will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is ready for a new page, the
programmed value will read correctly. This is used to determine when the next page can be written.
Note that the entire page is written simultaneously and any address within the page can be
used for polling. Data polling of the Flash will not work for the value 0xFF, so when programming
this value, the user will have to wait for at least tWD_FLASH before programming the next page. As
a chip-erased device contains 0xFF in all locations, programming of addresses that are meant to
contain 0xFF, can be skipped. See Table 97 on page 232 for tWD_FLASH value.232
2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
Data Polling EEPROM When a new byte has been written and is being programmed into EEPROM, reading the
address location being programmed will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is ready for
a new byte, the programmed value will read correctly. This is used to determine when the next
byte can be written. This will not work for the value 0xFF, but the user should have the following
in mind: As a chip-erased device contains 0xFF in all locations, programming of addresses that
are meant to contain 0xFF, can be skipped. This does not apply if the EEPROM is Re-programmed
without chip-erasing the device. In this case, data polling cannot be used for the value
0xFF, and the user will have to wait at least tWD_EEPROM before programming the next byte. See
Table 97 for tWD_EEPROM value.

5. This requirement applies to all ATmega8 Two-wire Serial Interface operation. Other devices connected to the Two-wire Serial
Bus need only obey the general fSCL requirement
6. The actual low period generated by the ATmega8 Two-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus fCK must be greater than
6MHz for the low time requirement to be strictly met at fSCL = 100kHz
7. The actual low period generated by the ATmega8 Two-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus the low time requirement
will not be strictly met for fSCL > 308kHz when fCK = 8MHz. Still, ATmega8 devices connected to the bus may communicate at
full speed (400kHz) with other ATmega8 devices, as well as any other device with a proper tLOW acceptance margin

Characteristics
– TA = -40°C to 85°C
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with Rail-to-Rail output is used as clock
source.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating
frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature.
The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as:
CL × VCC × f
where CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O
pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

Typical
Characteristics
– TA = -40°C to 105°C
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with Rail-to-Rail output is used as clock
source.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating
frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature.
The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where
CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

Notes: 1. Refer to the USART description (“USART” on page 129) for details on how to access UBRRH and UCSRC (“Accessing
UBRRH/UCSRC Registers” on page 146)
2. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instructions will operate on
all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions
work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only

Errata The revision letter in this section refers to the revision of the ATmega8 device.
ATmega8
Rev. D to I, M
• First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
• Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
• Signature may be Erased in Serial Programming Mode
• CKOPT Does not Enable Internal Capacitors on XTALn/TOSCn Pins when 32KHz Oscillator is
Used to Clock the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
• Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt request
1. First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
If the device is powered by a slow rising VCC, the first Analog Comparator conversion will
take longer than expected on some devices.
Problem Fix / Workaround
When the device has been powered or reset, disable then enable theAnalog Comparator
before the first conversion.
2. Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
The interrupt will be lost if a timer register that is synchronized to the asynchronous timer
clock is written when the asynchronous Timer/Counter register(TCNTx) is 0x00.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Always check that the asynchronous Timer/Counter register neither have the value 0xFF nor
0x00 before writing to the asynchronous Timer Control Register(TCCRx), asynchronous
Timer Counter Register(TCNTx), or asynchronous Output Compare Register(OCRx).
3. Signature may be Erased in Serial Programming Mode
If the signature bytes are read before a chiperase command is completed, the signature may
be erased causing the device ID and calibration bytes to disappear. This is critical, especially,
if the part is running on internal RC oscillator.
Problem Fix / Workaround:
Ensure that the chiperase command has exceeded before applying the next command.
4. CKOPT Does not Enable Internal Capacitors on XTALn/TOSCn Pins when 32KHz
Oscillator is Used to Clock the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When the internal RC Oscillator is used as the main clock source, it is possible to run the
Timer/Counter2 asynchronously by connecting a 32KHz Oscillator between XTAL1/TOSC1
and XTAL2/TOSC2. But when the internal RC Oscillator is selected as the main clock
source, the CKOPT Fuse does not control the internal capacitors on XTAL1/TOSC1 and
XTAL2/TOSC2. As long as there are no capacitors connected to XTAL1/TOSC1 and
XTAL2/TOSC2, safe operation of the Oscillator is not guaranteed.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Use external capacitors in the range of 20pF - 36pF on XTAL1/TOSC1 and XTAL2/TOSC2.
This will be fixed in ATmega8 Rev. G where the CKOPT Fuse will control internal capacitors
also when internal RC Oscillator is selected as main clock source. For ATmega8 Rev. G,
CKOPT = 0 (programmed) will enable the internal capacitors on XTAL1 and XTAL2. Customers
who want compatibility between Rev. G and older revisions, must ensure that
CKOPT is unprogrammed (CKOPT = 1).319

5. Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt
request.
Reading EEPROM by using the ST or STS command to set the EERE bit in the EECR register
triggers an unexpected EEPROM interrupt request.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Always use OUT or SBI to set EERE in EECR.320

2. Overview
ATtiny4/5/9/10 are low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontrollers based on the compact AVR enhanced RISC architecture.
By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATtiny4/5/9/10 achieve throughputs
approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing
speed.
Figure 2-1. Block Diagram
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 16 general purpose working registers and system registers. All
registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be
accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is compact and code efficient
while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 provide the following features: 512/1024 byte of In-System Programmable Flash, 32 bytes of
SRAM, four general purpose I/O lines, 16 general purpose working registers, a 16-bit timer/counter with two PWM

channels, internal and external interrupts, a programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, an internal calibrated
oscillator, and four software selectable power saving modes. ATtiny5/10 are also equipped with a fourchannel,
8-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counter, ADC (ATtiny5/10, only), analog comparator, and
interrupt system to continue functioning. ADC Noise Reduction mode minimizes switching noise during ADC conversions
by stopping the CPU and all I/O modules except the ADC. In Power-down mode registers keep their
contents and all chip functions are disabled until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Standby mode, the oscillator
is running while the rest of the device is sleeping, allowing very fast start-up combined with low power
consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip, in-system
programmable Flash allows program memory to be re-programmed in-system by a conventional, non-volatile
memory programmer.
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 AVR are supported by a suite of program and system development tools, including macro
assemblers and evaluation kits.

3.1 Resources
A comprehensive set of drivers, application notes, data sheets and descriptions on development tools are available
for download at http://www.atmel.com/microcontroller/avr.
3.2 Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the device. These
code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C
compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent.
Please confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
3.3 Capacitive Touch Sensing
Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution for touch sensitive interfaces on Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
The QTouch Library includes support for QTouch® and QMatrix® acquisition methods.
Touch sensing is easily added to any application by linking the QTouch Library and using the Application Programming
Interface (API) of the library to define the touch channels and sensors. The application then calls the API to
retrieve channel information and determine the state of the touch sensor.
The QTouch Library is free and can be downloaded from the Atmel website. For more information and details of
implementation, refer to the QTouch Library User Guide – also available from the Atmel website.
3.4 Data Retention
Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less than 1 PPM over 20

8127F–AVR–02/2013
4. CPU Core
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core is to ensure correct
program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations, control
peripherals, and handle interrupts.
4.1 Architectural Overview
Figure 4-1. Block Diagram of the AVR Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with separate memories
and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipelining.
While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept
enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-System reprogrammable
Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 16 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle
access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands
are output from the Register File, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File
– in one clock cycle.

8127F–AVR–02/2013
Six of the 16 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for data space addressing –
enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer
for look up tables in Flash program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register,
described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single
register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the Status Register is updated
to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, capable of directly addressing
the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format but 32-bit wide instructions also
exist. The actual instruction set varies, as some devices only implement a part of the instruction set.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the Stack. The Stack
is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack size is only limited by the SRAM size
and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or
interrupts are executed). The Stack Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can
easily be accessed through the four different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global Interrupt Enable bit in
the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have
priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the
priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, SPI, and other
I/O functions. The I/O memory can be accessed as the data space locations, 0x0000 - 0x003F.
4.2 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 16 general purpose working registers.
Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an
immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bitfunctions.
Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both
signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See document “AVR Instruction Set” and section “Instruction
Set Summary” on page 150 for a detailed description.
4.3 Status Register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic instruction. This
information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that the Status
Register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in document “AVR Instruction Set” and section “Instruction
Set Summary” on page 150. This will in many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare
instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning
from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
4.4 General Purpose Register File
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve the required performance
and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the Register File:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result inputATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 8
8127F–AVR–02/2013
Figure 4-2 below shows the structure of the 16 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 4-2. AVR CPU General Purpose Working Registers
Note: A typical implementation of the AVR register file includes 32 general prupose registers but ATtiny4/5/9/10 implement
only 16 registers. For reasons of compatibility the registers are numbered R16...R31, not R0...R15.
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and most of them are single
cycle instructions.
4.4.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
Registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit
address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are
defined as described in Figure 4-3.

8127F–AVR–02/2013
In different addressing modes these address registers function as automatic increment and automatic decrement
(see document “AVR Instruction Set” and section “Instruction Set Summary” on page 150 for details).
4.5 Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing return addresses
after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points to the top of the Stack. Note that the
Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations to lower memory locations. This implies that a
Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are located. This
Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts
are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to point above 0x40. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one
when data is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return
address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when
data is popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the
Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of bits actually used is
implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations of the AVR architecture is so small
that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register will not be present.
4.6 Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR CPU is driven by the
CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 4-4. The Parallel Instruction Fetches and Instruction Executions
Figure 4-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture
and the fast access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with
the corresponding unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.
Figure 4-5 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle an ALU operation using
two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination register.

Figure 4-5. Single Cycle ALU Operation
4.7 Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector each have a
separate Program Vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which
must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the
interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and Interrupt Vectors.
The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 35. The list also determines the priority levels of the
different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next
is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled. The user software
can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current
interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the Interrupt Flag. For
these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the interrupt
handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing
a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding
interrupt enable bit is cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the
flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt Enable bit
is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global Interrupt Enable bit is
set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily
have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will
not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction
before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when
returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt will be
executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the CLI instruction.

When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed before any pending
interrupts, as shown in the following example.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 5.
4.7.1 Interrupt Response Time
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles minimum. After four clock
cycles the Program Vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle
period, the Program Counter is pushed onto the Stack. The vector is normally a jump to the interrupt routine, and
this jump takes three clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction
is completed before the interrupt is served. If an interrupt occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution
response time is increased by four clock cycles. This increase comes in addition to the start-up time from the
selected sleep mode.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock cycles, the Program
Counter (two bytes) is popped back from the Stack, the Stack Pointer is incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG
is set.
4.8 Register Description
4.8.1 CCP – Configuration Change Protection Register
• Bits 7:0 – CCP[7:0] – Configuration Change Protection
In order to change the contents of a protected I/O register the CCP register must first be written with the correct
signature. After CCP is written the protected I/O registers may be written to during the next four CPU instruction
cycles. All interrupts are ignored during these cycles. After these cycles interrupts are automatically handled again
by the CPU, and any pending interrupts will be executed according to their priority.
When the protected I/O register signature is written, CCP[0] will read as one as long as the protected feature is
enabled, while CCP[7:1] will always read as zero.
Table 4-1 shows the signatures that are in recognised.

4.8.2 SPH and SPL — Stack Pointer Register
4.8.3 SREG – Status Register
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control
is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable Register is cleared, none of the interrupts
are enabled independent of the individual interrupt enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an
interrupt has occurred, and is set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set
and cleared by the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the document “AVR Instruction
Set” and “Instruction Set Summary” on page 150.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination for the operated
bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be
copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry is useful in BCD arithmetic.
See document “AVR Instruction Set” and section “Instruction Set Summary” on page 150 for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V. See

5. Memories
This section describes the different memories in the ATtiny4/5/9/10. Devices have two main memory areas, the
program memory space and the data memory space.
5.1 In-System Re-programmable Flash Program Memory
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 contain 512/1024 bytes of on-chip, in-system reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage.
Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the Flash is organized as 256/512 x 16.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The ATtiny4/5/9/10 Program Counter
(PC) is 9 bits wide, thus capable of addressing the 256/512 program memory locations, starting at 0x000. “Memory
Programming” on page 106 contains a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire address space of program memory. Since program memory can
not be accessed directly, it has been mapped to the data memory. The mapped program memory begins at byte
address 0x4000 in data memory (see Figure 5-1 on page 15). Although programs are executed starting from
address 0x000 in program memory it must be addressed starting from 0x4000 when accessed via the data
memory.
Internal write operations to Flash program memory have been disabled and program memory therefore appears to
firmware as read-only. Flash memory can still be written to externally but internal write operations to the program
memory area will not be succesful.
Timing diagrams of instruction fetch and execution are presented in “Instruction Execution Timing” on page 9.
5.2 Data Memory
Data memory locations include the I/O memory, the internal SRAM memory, the non-volatile memory lock bits, and
the Flash memory. See Figure 5-1 on page 15 for an illustration on how the ATtiny4/5/9/10 memory space is
organized.
The first 64 locations are reserved for I/O memory, while the following 32 data memory locations address the internal
data SRAM.
The non-volatile memory lock bits and all the Flash memory sections are mapped to the data memory space.
These locations appear as read-only for device firmware.
The four different addressing modes for data memory are direct, indirect, indirect with pre-decrement, and indirect
with post-increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 function as pointer registers for indirect addressing.
The IN and OUT instructions can access all 64 locations of I/O memory. Direct addressing using the LDS and STS
instructions reaches the 128 locations between 0x0040 and 0x00BF.
The indirect addressing reaches the entire data memory space. When using indirect addressing modes with automatic
pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or incremented.ATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 15

5.3 I/O Memory
The I/O space definition of the ATtiny4/5/9/10 is shown in “Register Summary” on page 148.
All ATtiny4/5/9/10 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may be accessed using the LD
and ST instructions, enabling data transfer between the 16 general purpose working registers and the I/O space.
I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In
these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. See document
“AVR Instruction Set” and section “Instruction Set Summary” on page 150 for more details. When using the I/O
specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used.
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory
addresses should never be written.
Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that CBI and SBI instructions will only
operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags. The CBI and SBI
instructions work on registers in the address range 0x00 to 0x1F, only.
The I/O and Peripherals Control Registers are explained in later sections.ATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 17

6. Clock System
Figure 6-1 presents the principal clock systems and their distribution in ATtiny4/5/9/10. All of the clocks need not
be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules not being used can be
halted by using different sleep modes and power reduction register bits, as described in “Power Management and
Sleep Modes” on page 23. The clock systems is detailed below.
Figure 6-1. Clock Distribution
6.1 Clock Subsystems
The clock subsystems are detailed in the sections below.
6.1.1 CPU Clock – clkCPU
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR Core. Examples of such modules
are the General Purpose Register File, the System Registers and the SRAM data memory. Halting the CPU
clock inhibits the core from performing general operations and calculations.
6.1.2 I/O Clock – clkI/O
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counter. The I/O clock is also used by the
External Interrupt module, but note that some external interrupts are detected by asynchronous logic, allowing
such interrupts to be detected even if the I/O clock is halted.
6.1.3 NVM clock - clkNVM
The NVM clock controls operation of the Non-Volatile Memory Controller. The NVM clock is usually active simultaneously
with the CPU clock.

6.1.4 ADC Clock – clkADC
The ADC is provided with a dedicated clock domain. This allows halting the CPU and I/O clocks in order to reduce
noise generated by digital circuitry. This gives more accurate ADC conversion results.
The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
6.2 Clock Sources
All synchronous clock signals are derived from the main clock. The device has three alternative sources for the
main clock, as follows:
• Calibrated Internal 8 MHz Oscillator (see page 18)
• External Clock (see page 18)
• Internal 128 kHz Oscillator (see page 19)
See Table 6-3 on page 21 on how to select and change the active clock source.
6.2.1 Calibrated Internal 8 MHz Oscillator
The calibrated internal oscillator provides an approximately 8 MHz clock signal. Though voltage and temperature
dependent, this clock can be very accurately calibrated by the user. See Table 16-2 on page 117, Figure 17-39 on
page 141 and Figure 17-40 on page 141 for more details.
This clock may be selected as the main clock by setting the Clock Main Select bits CLKMS[1:0] in CLKMSR to
0b00. Once enabled, the oscillator will operate with no external components. During reset, hardware loads the calibration
byte into the OSCCAL register and thereby automatically calibrates the oscillator. The accuracy of this
calibration is shown as Factory calibration in Table 16-2 on page 117.
When this oscillator is used as the main clock, the watchdog oscillator will still be used for the watchdog timer and
reset time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see section “Calibration Section” on
page 109.
6.2.2 External Clock
To use the device with an external clock source, CLKI should be driven as shown in Figure 6-2. The external clock
is selected as the main clock by setting CLKMS[1:0] bits in CLKMSR to 0b10.
Figure 6-2. External Clock Drive Configuration
When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied clock frequency to ensure
stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to
unpredictable behavior. It is required to ensure that the MCU is kept in reset during such changes in the clock
frequency.

6.2.3 Internal 128 kHz Oscillator
The internal 128 kHz oscillator is a low power oscillator providing a clock of 128 kHz. The frequency depends on
supply voltage, temperature and batch variations. This clock may be select as the main clock by setting the
CLKMS[1:0] bits in CLKMSR to 0b01.
6.2.4 Switching Clock Source
The main clock source can be switched at run-time using the “CLKMSR – Clock Main Settings Register” on page
21. When switching between any clock sources, the clock system ensures that no glitch occurs in the main clock.
6.2.5 Default Clock Source
The calibrated internal 8 MHz oscillator is always selected as main clock when the device is powered up or has
been reset. The synchronous system clock is the main clock divided by 8, controlled by the System Clock Prescaler.
The Clock Prescaler Select Bits can be written later to change the system clock frequency. See “System
Clock Prescaler”.
6.3 System Clock Prescaler
The system clock is derived from the main clock via the System Clock Prescaler. The system clock can be divided
by setting the “CLKPSR – Clock Prescale Register” on page 22. The system clock prescaler can be used to
decrease power consumption at times when requirements for processing power is low or to bring the system clock
within limits of maximum frequency. The prescaler can be used with all main clock source options, and it will affect
the clock frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals.
The System Clock Prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of the internal clock frequency while still
ensuring stable operation.
6.3.1 Switching Prescaler Setting
When switching between prescaler settings, the system clock prescaler ensures that no glitch occurs in the system
clock and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the clock frequency corresponding the previous setting,
nor the clock frequency corresponding to the new setting.
The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the main clock, which may be faster than
the CPU's clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the state of the prescaler - even if it were readable,
and the exact time it takes to switch from one clock division to another cannot be exactly predicted.
From the time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the new clock frequency
is active. In this interval, two active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the previous clock period, and
T2 is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.ATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 20
8127F–AVR–02/2013
6.4 Starting
6.4.1 Starting from Reset
The internal reset is immediately asserted when a reset source goes active. The internal reset is kept asserted until
the reset source is released and the start-up sequence is completed. The start-up sequence includes three steps,
as follows.
1. The first step after the reset source has been released consists of the device counting the reset start-up
time. The purpose of this reset start-up time is to ensure that supply voltage has reached sufficient levels.
The reset start-up time is counted using the internal 128 kHz oscillator. See Table 6-1 for details of reset
start-up time.
Note that the actual supply voltage is not monitored by the start-up logic. The device will count until the
reset start-up time has elapsed even if the device has reached sufficient supply voltage levels earlier.
2. The second step is to count the oscillator start-up time, which ensures that the calibrated internal oscillator
has reached a stable state before it is used by the other parts of the system. The calibrated internal oscillator
needs to oscillate for a minimum number of cycles before it can be considered stable. See Table 6-1
for details of the oscillator start-up time.
3. The last step before releasing the internal reset is to load the calibration and the configuration values from
the Non-Volatile Memory to configure the device properly. The configuration time is listed in Table 6-1.
Notes: 1. After powering up the device or after a reset the system clock is automatically set to calibrated internal 8 MHz oscillator,
divided by 8
6.4.2 Starting from Power-Down Mode
When waking up from Power-Down sleep mode, the supply voltage is assumed to be at a sufficient level and only
the oscillator start-up time is counted to ensure the stable operation of the oscillator. The oscillator start-up time is
counted on the selected main clock, and the start-up time depends on the clock selected. See Table 6-2 for details.
Notes: 1. The start-up time is measured in main clock oscillator cycles.
6.4.3 Starting from Idle / ADC Noise Reduction / Standby Mode
When waking up from Idle, ADC Noise Reduction or Standby Mode, the oscillator is already running and no oscillator
start-up time is introduced.
The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.

6.5 Register Description
6.5.1 CLKMSR – Clock Main Settings Register
• Bit 7:2 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and always read zero.
• Bit 1:0 – CLKMS[1:0]: Clock Main Select Bits
These bits select the main clock source of the system. The bits can be written at run-time to switch the source of
the main clock. The clock system ensures glitch free switching of the main clock source.
The main clock alternatives are shown in Table 6-3.
To avoid unintentional switching of main clock source, a protected change sequence must be followed to change
the CLKMS bits, as follows:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O register to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the CLKMS bits with the desired value
6.5.2 OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register .
• Bits 7:0 – CAL[7:0]: Oscillator Calibration Value
The oscillator calibration register is used to trim the calibrated internal oscillator and remove process variations
from the oscillator frequency. A pre-programmed calibration value is automatically written to this register during
chip reset, giving the factory calibrated frequency as specified in Table 16-2, “Calibration Accuracy of Internal RC
Oscillator,” on page 117.
The application software can write this register to change the oscillator frequency. The oscillator can be calibrated
to frequencies as specified in Table 16-2, “Calibration Accuracy of Internal RC Oscillator,” on page 117. Calibration
outside the range given is not guaranteed.
The CAL[7:0] bits are used to tune the frequency of the oscillator. A setting of 0x00 gives the lowest frequency, and
a setting of 0xFF gives the highest frequency.

6.5.3 CLKPSR – Clock Prescale Register
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read as zero.
• Bits 3:0 – CLKPS[3:0]: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal system clock. These bits
can be written at run-time to vary the clock frequency and suit the application requirements. As the prescaler
divides the master clock input to the MCU, the speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced accordingly. The
division factors are given in Table 6-4.
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a protected change sequence must be followed to change the
CLKPS bits:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O register to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS bits
At start-up, CLKPS bits are reset to 0b0011 to select the clock division factor of 8. If the selected clock source has
a frequency higher than the maximum allowed the application software must make sure a sufficient division factor
is used. To make sure the write procedure is not interrupted, interrupts must be disabled when changing prescaler
settings.

7. Power Management and Sleep Modes
The high performance and industry leading code efficiency makes the AVR microcontrollers an ideal choise for low
power applications. In addition, sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU,
thereby saving power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power consumption to
the application’s requirements.
7.1 Sleep Modes
Figure 6-1 on page 17 presents the different clock systems and their distribution in ATtiny4/5/9/10. The figure is
helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 7-1 shows the different sleep modes and their wake up
sources.
Note: 1. The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only
2. For INT0, only level interrupt.
To enter any of the four sleep modes, the SE bits in SMCR must be written to logic one and a SLEEP instruction
must be executed. The SM2:0 bits in the SMCR register select which sleep mode (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction,
Standby or Power-down) will be activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 7-2 for a summary.
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then halted for
four cycles in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction
following SLEEP. The contents of the Register File and SRAM are unaltered when the device wakes up from
sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up the changed level must be held for some time to wake up
the MCU (and for the MCU to enter the interrupt service routine). See “External Interrupts” on page 36 for details.
7.1.1 Idle Mode
When bits SM2:0 are written to 000, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle mode, stopping the CPU but
allowing the analog comparator, timer/counter, watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This
sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkNVM, while allowing the other clocks to run.
Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the timer
overflow. If wake-up from the analog comparator interrupt is not required, the analog comparator can be powered
down by setting the ACD bit in “ACSR – Analog Comparator Control and Status Register” on page 80. This will
reduce power consumption in idle mode. If the ADC is enabled (ATtiny5/10, only), a conversion starts automatically
when this mode is entered.

8127F–AVR–02/2013
7.1.2 ADC Noise Reduction Mode
When bits SM2:0 are written to 001, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter ADC Noise Reduction mode,
stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the external interrupts, and the watchdog to continue operating (if
enabled). This sleep mode halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkNVM, while allowing the other clocks to run.
This mode improves the noise environment for the ADC, enabling higher resolution measurements. If the ADC is
enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.
This mode is available in all devices, although only ATtiny5/10 are equipped with an ADC.
7.1.3 Power-down Mode
When bits SM2:0 are written to 010, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Power-down mode. In this mode,
the oscillator is stopped, while the external interrupts, and the watchdog continue operating (if enabled). Only a
watchdog reset, an external level interrupt on INT0, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep
mode halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only.
7.1.4 Standby Mode
When bits SM2:0 are written to 100, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Standby mode. This mode is
identical to Power-down with the exception that the oscillator is kept running. This reduces wake-up time, because
the oscillator is already running and doesn't need to be started up.
7.2 Power Reduction Register
The Power Reduction Register (PRR), see “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 26, provides a method to
reduce power consumption by stopping the clock to individual peripherals. When the clock for a peripheral is
stopped then:
• The current state of the peripheral is frozen.
• The associated registers can not be read or written.
• Resources used by the peripheral will remain occupied.
The peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the clock. Clearing the PRR bit wakes up the
peripheral and puts it in the same state as before shutdown.
Peripheral shutdown can be used in Idle mode and Active mode to significantly reduce the overall power consumption.
See “Supply Current of I/O Modules” on page 121 for examples. In all other sleep modes, the clock is already
stopped.
7.3 Minimizing Power Consumption
There are several issues to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in an AVR Core controlled
system. In general, sleep modes should be used as much as possible, and the sleep mode should be selected so
that as few as possible of the device’s functions are operating. All functions not needed should be disabled. In particular,
the following modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest possible power
consumption.
7.3.1 Analog Comparator
When entering Idle mode, the analog comparator should be disabled if not used. In the power-down mode, the
analog comparator is automatically disabled. See “Analog Comparator” on page 80 for further details.ATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 25
8127F–AVR–02/2013
7.3.2 Analog to Digital Converter
If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the ADC should be disabled before entering
any sleep mode. When the ADC is turned off and on again, the next conversion will be an extended conversion.
See “Analog to Digital Converter” on page 82 for details on ADC operation.
The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
7.3.3 Watchdog Timer
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, this module should be turned off. If the Watchdog Timer is
enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes, and hence, always consume power. In the deeper sleep modes, this
will contribute significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to “Watchdog Timer” on page 30 for details on
how to configure the Watchdog Timer.
7.3.4 Port Pins
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The most important thing
is then to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where the I/O clock (clkI/O) is stopped, the input
buffers of the device will be disabled. This ensures that no power is consumed by the input logic when not needed.
In some cases, the input logic is needed for detecting wake-up conditions, and it will then be enabled. Refer to the
section “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 44 for details on which pins are enabled. If the input buffer
is enabled and the input signal is left floating or has an analog signal level close to VCC/2, the input buffer will use
excessive power.
For analog input pins, the digital input buffer should be disabled at all times. An analog signal level close to VCC/2
on an input pin can cause significant current even in active mode. Digital input buffers can be disabled by writing to
the Digital Input Disable Register (DIDR0). Refer to “DIDR0 – Digital Input Disable Register 0” on page 81 for
details.
7.4 Register Description
7.4.1 SMCR – Sleep Mode Control Register
The SMCR Control Register contains control bits for power management.
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bits 3:1 – SM2..SM0: Sleep Mode Select Bits 2..0
These bits select between available sleep modes, as shown in Table 7-2.

• Bit 0 – SE: Sleep Enable
The SE bit must be written to logic one to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed.
To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmer’s purpose, it is recommended to
write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction and to clear it immediately
after waking up.
7.4.2 PRR – Power Reduction Register
• Bits 7:2 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bit 1 – PRADC: Power Reduction ADC
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the ADC. The ADC must be disabled before shut down. The analog comparator
cannot use the ADC input MUX when the ADC is shut down.
The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
• Bit 0 – PRTIM0: Power Reduction Timer/Counter0
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter0 module. When the Timer/Counter0 is enabled, operation
will continue like before the shutdown.

8. System Control and Reset
8.1 Resetting the AVR
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from the Reset Vector.
The instruction placed at the Reset Vector must be a RJMP – Relative Jump – instruction to the reset handling routine.
If the program never enables an interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program code
can be placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 8-1 shows the reset logic. Electrical parameters of
the reset circuitry are defined in section “System and Reset Characteristics” on page 118.
Figure 8-1. Reset Logic
The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This does not
require any clock source to be running.
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This allows the
power to reach a stable level before normal operation starts. The start up sequence is described in “Starting from
Reset” on page 20.
8.2 Reset Sources
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 have three sources of reset:
• Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on Reset threshold (VPOT)
• External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for longer than the minimum
pulse length
• Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and the Watchdog is enabled
8.2.1 Power-on Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The detection level is defined in section
“System and Reset Characteristics” on page 118. The POR is activated whenever VCC is below the detection
level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as to detect a failure in supply voltage.

A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is reset from Power-on. Reaching the Power-on Reset
threshold voltage invokes the delay counter, which determines how long the device is kept in reset after VCC rise.
The reset signal is activated again, without any delay, when VCC decreases below the detection level.
Figure 8-2. MCU Start-up, RESET Tied to VCC
Figure 8-3. MCU Start-up, RESET Extended Externally
8.2.2 VCC Level Monitoring
ATtiny4/5/9/10 have a VCC Level Monitoring (VLM) circuit that compares the voltage level at the VCC pin against
fixed trigger levels. The trigger levels are set with VLM2:0 bits, see “VLMCSR – VCC Level Monitoring Control and
Status register” on page 33.
The VLM circuit provides a status flag, VLMF, that indicates if voltage on the VCC pin is below the selected trigger
level. The flag can be read from VLMCSR, but it is also possible to have an interrupt generated when the VLMF
status flag is set. This interrupt is enabled by the VLMIE bit in the VLMCSR register. The flag can be cleared by
changing the trigger level or by writing it to zero. The flag is automatically cleared when the voltage at VCC rises
back above the selected trigger level.
The VLM can also be used to improve reset characteristics at falling supply. Without VLM, the Power-On Reset
(POR) does not activate before supply voltage has dropped to a level where the MCU is not necessarily functional
any more. With VLM, it is possible to generate a reset earlier.
When active, the VLM circuit consumes some power, as illustrated in Figure 17-48 on page 145. To save power
the VLM circuit can be turned off completely, or it can be switched on and off at regular intervals. However, detection
takes some time and it is therefore recommended to leave the circuitry on long enough for signals to settle.
See “VCC Level Monitor” on page 118.

When VLM is active and voltage at VCC is above the selected trigger level operation will be as normal and the VLM
can be shut down for a short period of time. If voltage at VCC drops below the selected threshold the VLM will either
flag an interrupt or generate a reset, depending on the configuration.
When the VLM has been configured to generate a reset at low supply voltage it will keep the device in reset as long
as VCC is below the reset level. See Table 8-4 on page 34 for reset level details. If supply voltage rises above the
reset level the condition is removed and the MCU will come out of reset, and initiate the power-up start-up
sequence.
If supply voltage drops enough to trigger the POR then PORF is set after supply voltage has been restored.
8.2.3 External Reset
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin if enabled. Reset pulses longer than the minimum
pulse width (see section “System and Reset Characteristics” on page 118) will generate a reset, even if the clock is
not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset
Threshold Voltage – VRST – on its positive edge, the delay counter starts the MCU after the time-out period – tTOUT
– has expired. External reset is ignored during Power-on start-up count. After Power-on reset the internal reset is
extended only if RESET pin is low when the initial Power-on delay count is complete. See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-
3 on page 28.
Figure 8-4. External Reset During Operation
8.2.4 Watchdog Reset
When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle duration. On the falling edge of
this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the time-out period tTOUT. See page 30 for details on operation of the
Watchdog Timer and Table 16-4 on page 118 for details on reset time-out.
CCATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 30
8127F–AVR–02/2013
Figure 8-5. Watchdog Reset During Operation
8.3 Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from an on-chip oscillator, which runs at 128 kHz. See Figure 8-6. By controlling
the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as shown in Table 8-2 on page 32.
The WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is
disabled and when a device reset occurs. Ten different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset
period. If the reset period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the ATtiny4/5/9/10 resets and executes from
the Reset Vector. For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to Table 8-3 on page 33.
Figure 8-6. Watchdog Timer
The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can be very helpful
when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period, two different safety
levels are selected by the fuse WDTON as shown in Table 8-1 on page 31. See “Procedure for Changing the
Watchdog Timer Configuration” on page 31 for details.

8.3.1 Procedure for Changing the Watchdog Timer Configuration
The sequence for changing configuration differs between the two safety levels, as follows:
8.3.1.1 Safety Level 1
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit to one without any
restriction. A special sequence is needed when disabling an enabled Watchdog Timer. To disable an enabled
Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O registers to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, in the same operation, write WDE and WDP bits
8.3.1.2 Safety Level 2
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read as one. A protected change
is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To change the Watchdog Time-out, the following procedure
must be followed:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O registers to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the WDP bit. The value written to WDE is irrelevant
8.3.2 Code Examples
The following code example shows how to turn off the WDT. The example assumes that interrupts are controlled
(e.g., by disabling interrupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during execution of these functions.

9.2 External Interrupts
External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0 pin or any of the PCINT3..0 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts
will trigger even if the INT0 or PCINT3..0 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of
generating a software interrupt. Pin change 0 interrupts PCI0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT3..0 pin toggles. The
PCMSK Register controls which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT3..0
are detected asynchronously, which means that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep
modes other than Idle mode.
The INT0 interrupt can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up as shown in “EICRA –
External Interrupt Control Register A” on page 37. When the INT0 interrupt is enabled and configured as level triggered,
the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low. Note that recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts
on INT0 requires the presence of an I/O clock, as described in “Clock System” on page 17.
9.2.1 Low Level Interrupt
A low level interrupt on INT0 is detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt source can be used for
waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except Idle).
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level must be held long
enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If the level disappears before the end of
the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The start-up time is defined as
described in “Clock System” on page 17.
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program execution will not be
diverted to the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following the SLEEP command.
9.2.2 Pin Change Interrupt Timing
A timing example of a pin change interrupt is shown in Figure 9-1.ATtiny4/5/9/10 [DATASHEET] 37

9.3 Register Description
9.3.1 EICRA – External Interrupt Control Register A
The External Interrupt Control Register A contains control bits for interrupt sense control.
• Bits 7:2 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bits 1:0 – ISC01, ISC00: Interrupt Sense Control 0 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The External Interrupt 0 is activated by the external pin INT0 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt
mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in Table 9-2. The
value on the INT0 pin is sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer
than one clock period will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If

to generate an interrupt.
9.3.2 EIMSK – External Interrupt Mask Register
• Bits 7:1 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bit 0 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable
When the INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external pin interrupt is
enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control bits (ISC01 and ISC00) in the External Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA)
define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising and/or falling edge of the INT0 pin or level sensed. Activity
on the pin will cause an interrupt request even if INT0 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of
External Interrupt Request 0 is executed from the INT0 Interrupt Vector.
9.3.3 EIFR – External Interrupt Flag Register
• Bits 7:1 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bit 0 – INTF0: External Interrupt Flag 0
When an edge or logic change on the INT0 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF0 becomes set (one). If the I-bit in
SREG and the INT0 bit in EIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector.
The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical
one to it.
This flag is constantly zero when INT0 is configured as a level interrupt.

9.3.4 PCICR – Pin Change Interrupt Control Register
• Bits 7:1 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bit 0 – PCIE0: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 0
When the PCIE0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), pin change interrupt 0 is
enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT3..0 pin will cause an interrupt. The corresponding interrupt of Pin
Change Interrupt Request is executed from the PCI0 Interrupt Vector. PCINT3..0 pins are enabled individually by
the PCMSK Register.
9.3.5 PCIFR – Pin Change Interrupt Flag Register
• Bits 7:1 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bit 0 – PCIF0: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 0
When a logic change on any PCINT3..0 pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF0 becomes set (one). If the I-bit in
SREG and the PCIE0 bit in PCICR are set (one), the MCU will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag
is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it.
9.3.6 PCMSK – Pin Change Mask Register
• Bits 7:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.
• Bits 3:0 – PCINT3..0: Pin Change Enable Mask 3..0
Each PCINT3..0 bit selects whether pin change interrupt is enabled on the corresponding I/O pin. If PCINT3..0 is
set and the PCIE0 bit in PCICR is set, pin change interrupt is enabled on the corresponding I/O pin. If PCINT3..0 is
cleared, pin change interrupt on the corresponding I/O pin is disabled.

10. I/O Ports
10.1 Overview
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This means that
the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin with the
SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling
of pull-up resistors. Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable
pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and
Ground as indicated in Figure 10-1 on page 40. See “Electrical Characteristics” on page 115 for a complete list of
parameters.
Figure 10-1. I/O Pin Equivalent Schematic
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the numbering
letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented
generally as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers and bit locations are listed in “Register Description” on
page 50.
Four I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register – PORTx, Data
Direction Register – DDRx, Pull-up Enable Register – PUEx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The Port Input Pins
I/O location is read only, while the Data Register, the Data Direction Register, and the Pull-up Enable Register are
read/write. However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx Register, will result in a toggle in the corresponding bit
in the Data Register.
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page 41. Most port pins
are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral features on the device. How each alternate function interferes
with the port pin is described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 45. Refer to the individual module sections
for a full description of the alternate functions.
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the other pins in the port
as general digital I/O.

10.2 Ports as General Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 10-2 shows a functional description of
one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.
Figure 10-2. General Digital I/O(1)
Note: 1. WEx, WRx, WPx, WDx, REx, RRx, RPx, and RDx are common to all pins within the same port. clkI/O, and SLEEP
are common to all ports.
10.2.1 Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of four register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, PUExn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register Description”
on page 50, the DDxn bits are accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits at the PORTx I/O address, the
PUExn bits at the PUEx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one, Pxn is configured
as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input pin.

If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven high (one). If
PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven low (zero).
The pull-up resistor is activated, if the PUExn is written logic one. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PUExn has to
be written logic zero.
Table 10-1 summarizes the control signals for the pin value.
Port pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even when no clocks are running.
10.2.2 Toggling the Pin
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn. Note that the SBI
instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
10.2.3 Break-Before-Make Switching
In Break-Before-Make mode, switching the DDRxn bit from input to output introduces an immediate tri-state period
lasting one system clock cycle, as indicated in Figure 10-3. For example, if the system clock is 4 MHz and the
DDRxn is written to make an output, an immediate tri-state period of 250 ns is introduced before the value of
PORTxn is seen on the port pin.
To avoid glitches it is recommended that the maximum DDRxn toggle frequency is two system clock cycles. The
Break-Before-Make mode applies to the entire port and it is activated by the BBMx bit. For more details, see
“PORTCR – Port Control Register” on page 50.
When switching the DDRxn bit from output to input no immediate tri-state period is introduced.

10.2.4 Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the PINxn Register bit. As
shown in Figure 10-2 on page 41, the PINxn Register bit and the preceding latch constitute a synchronizer. This is
needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces
a delay. Figure 10-4 shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin
value. The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.
Figure 10-4. Synchronization when Reading an Externally Applied Pin value
Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch is closed when
the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the shaded region of the “SYNC
LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at
the succeeding positive clock edge. As indicated by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition
on the pin will be delayed between ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated in Figure 10-5
on page 44. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of the clock. In this case, the
delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system clock period.

10.2.5 Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 41, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the input of the schmitttrigger.
The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep Controller in Power-down and Standby
modes to avoid high power consumption if some input signals are left floating, or have an analog signal level close
to VCC/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as external interrupt pins. If the external interrupt request is not enabled,
SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also overridden by various other alternate functions as described in
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 45.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as “Interrupt on Rising
Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interrupt is not enabled, the corresponding
External Interrupt Flag will be set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these
sleep mode produces the requested logic change.
10.2.6 Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even though most of
the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating inputs should be avoided to
reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle
mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up. In this case, the
pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is important, it is recommended to use
an external pull-up or pulldown. Connecting unused pins directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this
may cause excessive currents if the pin is accidentally configured as an output.

10.2.7 Program Example
The following code example shows how to set port B pin 0 high, pin 1 low, and define the port pins from 2 to 3 as
input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 2. The resulting pin values are read back again, but as previously discussed,
a nop instruction is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.
Note: See “Code Examples” on page 5.
10.3 Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. In Figure 10-6 below is shown how
the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 10-2 on page 41 can be overridden by alternate functions.

ldi r16,(1<> Cx must be observed for proper operation; a typical load capacitance (Cx) ranges from
5 – 20 pF while Cs is usually about 2 – 50 nF.
Increasing amounts of Cx destroy gain, therefore it is important to limit the amount of stray capacitance on both SNS
terminals. This can be done, for example, by minimizing trace lengths and widths and keeping these traces away
from power or ground traces or copper pours.
The traces and any components associated with SNS and SNSK will become touch sensitive and should be treated
with caution to limit the touch area to the desired location.
A series resistor, Rs, should be placed in line with SNSK to the electrode to suppress ESD and EMC effects.
2.4 Sensitivity
2.4.1 Introduction
The sensitivity on the QT1010 is a function of things like the value of Cs, electrode size and capacitance, electrode
shape and orientation, the composition and aspect of the object to be sensed, the thickness and composition of any
overlaying panel material, and the degree of ground coupling of both sensor and object.
2.4.2 Increasing Sensitivity
In some cases it may be desirable to increase sensitivity; for example, when using the sensor with very thick panels
having a low dielectric constant, or when the device is used as a proximity sensor. Sensitivity can often be increased
by using a larger electrode or reducing panel thickness. Increasing electrode size can have diminishing returns, as
high values of Cx will reduce sensor gain. AT42QT1010 [DATASHEET] 6
9541I–AT42–05/2013
The value of Cs also has a dramatic effect on sensitivity, and this can be increased in value with the trade-off of
slower response time and more power. Increasing the electrode's surface area will not substantially increase touch
sensitivity if its diameter is already much larger in surface area than the object being detected. Panel material can
also be changed to one having a higher dielectric constant, which will better help to propagate the field.
In the case of proximity detection, usually the object being detected is on an approaching hand, so a larger surface
area can be effective.
Ground planes around and under the electrode and its SNSK trace will cause high Cx loading and destroy gain. The
possible signal-to-noise ratio benefits of ground area are more than negated by the decreased gain from the circuit,
and so ground areas around electrodes are discouraged. Metal areas near the electrode will reduce the field strength
and increase Cx loading and should be avoided, if possible. Keep ground away from the electrodes and traces.
2.4.3 Decreasing Sensitivity
In some cases the QT1010 may be too sensitive. In this case gain can be easily lowered further by decreasing Cs.
2.4.4 Proximity Sensing
By increasing the sensitivity, the QT1010 can be used as a very effective proximity sensor, allowing the presence of
a nearby object (typically a hand) to be detected.
In this scenario, as the object being sensed is typically a hand, very large electrode sizes can be used, which is
extremely effective in increasing the sensitivity of the detector. In this case, the value of Cs will also need to be
increased to ensure improved sensitivity, as mentioned in Section 2.4.2. Note that, although this affects the
responsiveness of the sensor, it is less of an issue in proximity sensing applications; in such applications it is
necessary to detect simply the presence of a large object, rather than a small, precise touch.AT42QT1010 [DATASHEET] 7 9541I–AT42–05/2013
3. Operation Specifics
3.1 Run Modes
3.1.1 Introduction
The QT1010 has three running modes which depend on the state of the SYNC pin (high or low).
3.1.2 Fast Mode
The QT1010 runs in Fast mode if the SYNC pin is permanently high. In this mode the QT1010 runs at maximum
speed at the expense of increased current consumption. Fast mode is useful when speed of response is the prime
design requirement. The delay between bursts in Fast mode is approximately 1 ms, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Fast Mode Bursts (SYNC Held High)
3.1.3 Low Power Mode
The QT1010 runs in Low Power (LP) mode if the SYNC pin is held low. In this mode it sleeps for approximately
80 ms at the end of each burst, saving power but slowing response. On detecting a possible key touch, it temporarily
switches to Fast mode until either the key touch is confirmed or found to be spurious (via the detect integration
process). It then returns to LP mode after the key touch is resolved, as shown in Figure 3-2.

9541I–AT42–05/2013
3.1.4 SYNC Mode
It is possible to synchronize the device to an external clock source by placing an appropriate waveform on the SYNC
pin. SYNC mode can synchronize multiple QT1010 devices to each other to prevent cross-interference, or it can be
used to enhance noise immunity from low frequency sources such as 50Hz or 60Hz mains signals.
The SYNC pin is sampled at the end of each burst. If the device is in Fast mode and the SYNC pin is sampled high,
then the device continues to operate in Fast mode (Figure 3-1 on page 7). If SYNC is sampled low, then the device
goes to sleep. From then on, it will operate in SYNC mode (Figure 3-2). Therefore, to guarantee entry into SYNC
mode the low period of the SYNC signal should be longer than the burst length (Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3. SYNC Mode (Triggered by SYNC Edges)
However, once SYNC mode has been entered, if the SYNC signal consists of a series of short pulses (>10 µs) then
a burst will only occur on the falling edge of each pulse (Figure 3-4) instead of on each change of SYNC signal, as
normal (Figure 3-3).
In SYNC mode, the device will sleep after each measurement burst (just as in LP mode) but will be awakened by a
change in the SYNC signal in either direction, resulting in a new measurement burst. If SYNC remains unchanged
for a period longer than the LP mode sleep period (about 80 ms), the device will resume operation in either Fast or
LP mode depending on the level of the SYNC pin (Figure 3-3).
There is no detect integrator (DI) in SYNC mode (each touch is a detection) but the Max On-duration will depend on
the time between SYNC pulses; see Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 on page 9. Recalibration timeout is a fixed number
of measurements so will vary with the SYNC period.

3.2 Threshold
The internal signal threshold level is fixed at 10 counts of change with respect to the internal reference level, which in
turn adjusts itself slowly in accordance with the drift compensation mechanism.
The QT1010 employs a hysteresis dropout of two counts of the delta between the reference and threshold levels.
3.3 Max On-duration
If an object or material obstructs the sense pad the signal may rise enough to create a detection, preventing further
operation. To prevent this, the sensor includes a timer which monitors detections. If a detection exceeds the timer
setting the sensor performs a full recalibration. This is known as the Max On-duration feature and is set to ~60s (at
3V in LP mode). This will vary slightly with Cs and if SYNC mode is used. As the internal timebase for Max Onduration
is determined by the burst rate, the use of SYNC can cause dramatic changes in this parameter depending
on the SYNC pulse spacing. For example, at 60Hz SYNC mode the Max On-duration will be ~6s at 3V.
3.4 Detect Integrator
It is desirable to suppress detections generated by electrical noise or from quick brushes with an object. To
accomplish this, the QT1010 incorporates a detect integration (DI) counter that increments with each detection until
a limit is reached, after which the output is activated. If no detection is sensed prior to the final count, the counter is
reset immediately to zero. In the QT1010, the required count is four. In LP mode the device will switch to Fast mode
temporarily in order to resolve the detection more quickly; after a touch is either confirmed or denied the device will
revert back to normal LP mode operation automatically.
The DI can also be viewed as a “consensus filter” that requires four successive detections to create an output.
3.5 Forced Sensor Recalibration
The QT1010 has no recalibration pin; a forced recalibration is accomplished when the device is powered up or after
the recalibration timeout. However, supply drain is low so it is a simple matter to treat the entire IC as a controllable
load; driving the QT1010's Vdd pin directly from another logic gate or a microcontroller port will serve as both power
and “forced recalibration”. The source resistance of most CMOS gates and microcontrollers is low enough to provide
direct power without problem.
3.6 Drift Compensation
Signal drift can occur because of changes in Cx and Cs over time. It is crucial that drift be compensated for,
otherwise false detections, non-detections, and sensitivity shifts will follow.
Drift compensation (Figure 3-5) is performed by making the reference level track the raw signal at a slow rate, but
only while there is no detection in effect. The rate of adjustment must be performed slowly, otherwise legitimate
detections could be ignored. The QT1010 drift compensates using a slew-rate limited change to the reference level;
the threshold and hysteresis values are slaved to this reference.
Once an object is sensed, the drift compensation mechanism ceases since the signal is legitimately high, and
therefore should not cause the reference level to change.AT42QT1010 [DATASHEET] 10
9541I–AT42–05/2013
Figure 3-5. Drift Compensation
The QT1010 drift compensation is asymmetric; the reference level drift-compensates in one direction faster than it
does in the other. Specifically, it compensates faster for decreasing signals than for increasing signals. Increasing
signals should not be compensated for quickly, since an approaching finger could be compensated for partially or
entirely before even approaching the sense electrode. However, an obstruction over the sense pad, for which the
sensor has already made full allowance, could suddenly be removed leaving the sensor with an artificially elevated
reference level and thus become insensitive to touch. In this latter case, the sensor will compensate for the object's
removal very quickly, usually in only a few seconds.
With large values of Cs and small values of Cx, drift compensation will appear to operate more slowly than with the
converse. Note that the positive and negative drift compensation rates are different.
3.7 Response Time
The QT1010's response time is highly dependent on run mode and burst length, which in turn is dependent on Cs
and Cx. With increasing Cs, response time slows, while increasing levels of Cx reduce response time. The response
time will also be a lot slower in LP or SYNC mode due to a longer time between burst measurements.
3.8 Spread Spectrum
The QT1010 modulates its internal oscillator by ±7.5% during the measurement burst. This spreads the generated
noise over a wider band, reducing emission levels. This also reduces susceptibility since there is no longer a single
fundamental burst frequency.
3.9 Output Features
3.9.1 Output
The output of the QT1010 is active-high upon detection. The output will remain active-high for the duration of the
detection, or until the Max On-duration expires, whichever occurs first. If a Max On-duration timeout occurs first, the
sensor performs a full recalibration and the output becomes inactive (low) until the next detection.
3.9.2 HeartBeat Output
The QT1010 output has a HeartBeat “health” indicator superimposed on it in all modes. This operates by taking the
output pin into a three-state mode for 15 µs, once before every QT burst. This output state can be used to determine
that the sensor is operating properly, using one of several simple methods, or it can be ignored.
The HeartBeat indicator can be sampled by using a pull-up resistor on the OUT pin (Figure 3-6), and feeding the
resulting positive-going pulse into a counter, flip flop, one-shot, or other circuit. The pulses will only be visible when
the chip is not detecting a touch.

Figure 3-6. Obtaining HeartBeat Pulses with a Pull-up Resistor (SOT23-6)
If the sensor is wired to a microcontroller as shown in Figure 3-7 on page 11, the microcontroller can reconfigure the
load resistor to either Vss or Vdd depending on the output state of the QT1010, so that the pulses are evident in
either state.
Figure 3-7. Using a Microcontroller to Obtain HeartBeat Pulses in Either Output State (SOT23-6)
Electromechanical devices like relays will usually ignore the short HeartBeat pulse. The pulse also has too low a duty
cycle to visibly affect LEDs. It can be filtered completely if desired, by adding an RC filter to the output, or if
interfacing directly and only to a high-impedance CMOS input, by doing nothing or at most adding a small noncritical
capacitor from OUT to Vss.
3.9.3 Output Drive
The OUT pin is active high and can sink or source up to 2 mA. When a large value of Cs (>20 nF) is used the OUT
current should be limited to <1 mA to prevent gain-shifting side effects, which happen when the load current creates
voltage drops on the die and bonding wires; these small shifts can materially influence the signal level to cause
detection instability.

4. Circuit Guidelines
4.1 More Information
Refer to Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch Design and the Touch Sensors Design Guide
(both downloadable from the Atmel website), for more information on construction and design methods.
4.2 Sample Capacitor
Cs is the charge sensing sample capacitor. The required Cs value depends on the thickness of the panel and its
dielectric constant. Thicker panels require larger values of Cs. Typical values are 2 nF to 50 nF depending on the
sensitivity required; larger values of Cs demand higher stability and better dielectric to ensure reliable sensing.
The Cs capacitor should be a stable type, such as X7R ceramic or PPS film. For more consistent sensing from unit
to unit, 5% tolerance capacitors are recommended. X7R ceramic types can be obtained in 5% tolerance at little or no
extra cost. In applications where high sensitivity (long burst length) is required the use of PPS capacitors is
recommended.
For battery powered operation a higher value sample capacitor is recommended (typical value 8.2 nF).
4.3 UDFN/USON Package Restrictions
The central pad on the underside of the UDFN/USON chip is connected to ground. Do not run any tracks underneath
the body of the chip, only ground.
4.4 Power Supply and PCB Layout
See Section 5.2 on page 14 for the power supply range. At 3 V current drain averages less than 500 µA in Fast
mode.
If the power supply is shared with another electronic system, care should be taken to ensure that the supply is free of
digital spikes, sags, and surges which can adversely affect the QT1010. The QT1010 will track slow changes in Vdd,
but it can be badly affected by rapid voltage fluctuations. It is highly recommended that a separate voltage regulator
be used just for the QT1010 to isolate it from power supply shifts caused by other components.
If desired, the supply can be regulated using a Low Dropout (LDO) regulator, although such regulators often have
poor transient line and load stability. See Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch™ Design for
further information.
Parts placement: The chip should be placed to minimize the SNSK trace length to reduce low frequency pickup,
and to reduce stray Cx which degrades gain. The Cs and Rs resistors (see Figure 1-1 on page 4) should be placed
as close to the body of the chip as possible so that the trace between Rs and the SNSK pin is very short, thereby
reducing the antenna-like ability of this trace to pick up high frequency signals and feed them directly into the chip. A
ground plane can be used under the chip and the associated discrete components, but the trace from the Rs resistor
and the electrode should not run near ground, to reduce loading.
For best EMC performance the circuit should be made entirely with SMT components.
Electrode trace routing: Keep the electrode trace (and the electrode itself) away from other signal, power, and
ground traces including over or next to ground planes. Adjacent switching signals can induce noise onto the sensing
signal; any adjacent trace or ground plane next to, or under, the electrode trace will cause an increase in Cx load and
desensitize the device.
Note: For proper operation a 100 nF (0.1 µF) ceramic bypass capacitor must be used directly between Vdd and
Vss, to prevent latch-up if there are substantial Vdd transients; for example, during an ESD event. The
bypass capacitor should be placed very close to the Vss and Vdd pins.AT42QT1010 [DATASHEET] 13 9541I–AT42–05/2013
4.5 Power On
On initial power up, the QT1010 requires approximately 100 ms to power on to allow power supplies to stabilize.
During this time the OUT pin state is not valid and should be ignored.AT42QT1010 [DATASHEET] 14

2. Overview of the AT42QT1040
2.1 Introduction
The AT42QT1040 (QT1040) is a digital burst mode charge-transfer (QT™) capacitive sensor driver designed for
touch-key applications. The device can sense from one to four keys; one to three keys can be disabled by not
installing their respective sense capacitors. Any of the four channels can be disabled in this way.
The device includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of
changing conditions, and the outputs are fully de-bounced. Only a few external parts are required for operation.
The QT1040 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to heavily suppress the effects of external
noise, and to suppress RF emissions.
2.2 Signal Processing
2.2.1 Detect Threshold
The internal signal threshold level is fixed at 10 counts of change with respect to the internal reference level. This in
turn adjusts itself slowly in accordance with the drift compensation mechanism. See Section 3.1 on page 7 for details
on how to adjust the sensitivity of each key.
When going out of detect there is a hysteresis element to the detection. The signal threshold must drop below 8
counts of change with respect to the internal reference level to register as un-touched.
2.2.2 Detection Integrator
The device features a detection integration mechanism, which acts to confirm a detection in a robust fashion. A perkey
counter is incremented each time the key has exceeded its threshold, and a key is only finally declared to be
touched when this counter reaches a fixed limit of 5. In other words, the device has to exceed its threshold, and stay
there for 5 acquisitions in succession without going below the threshold level, before the key is declared to be
touched.
2.2.3 Burst Length Limitations
Burst length is the number of times the charge transfer process is performed on a given channel; that is, the number
of pulses it takes to measure the key capacitance.
The maximum burst length is 2048 pulses. The recommended design is to use a capacitor that gives a signal of
<1000 pulses. Longer bursts take more time and use more power.
Note that the keys are independent of each other. It is therefore possible, for example, to have a signal of 100 on one
key and a signal of 1000 on another.
Refer to Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch Design (downloadable from the Atmel
website), for more information on using a scope to measure the pulses and hence determine the burst length. Refer
also to the Touch Sensors Design Guide.
2.2.4 Adjacent Key Suppression Technology
The device includes the Atmel-patented Adjacent Key Suppression (AKS) technology, to allow the use of tightly
spaced keys on a keypad with no loss of selectability by the user.
There is one global AKS group, implemented so that only one key in the group may be reported as being touched at
any one time.
The use of AKS is selected by connecting a 1 M resistor between Vdd and the SNSK0 pin (see Section 4.1 on
page 9 for more information). When AKS is disabled, any combinations of keys can enter detect.AT42QT1040 [DATASHEET] 6
9524D–AT42–05/2013
2.2.5 Auto Drift Compensation
Signal drift can occur because of changes in Cx and Cs over time. It is crucial that drift be compensated for,
otherwise false detections, non-detections, and sensitivity shifts will follow.
Drift compensation is performed by making the reference level track the raw signal at a slow rate, but only while
there is no detection in effect. The rate of adjustment must be performed slowly otherwise legitimate detections could
be ignored.
Once an object is sensed and a key is in detect, the drift compensation mechanism ceases, since the signal is
legitimately high and should not therefore cause the reference level to change.
The QT1040 drift compensation is asymmetric, that is, the reference level drift-compensates in one direction faster
than it does in the other. Specifically, it compensates faster for decreasing (towards touch) signals than for
increasing (away from touch) signals. The reason for this difference in compensation rates is that increasing signals
should not be compensated for quickly, since a nearby finger could be compensated for partially or entirely before
even approaching the sense electrode. However, decreasing signals need to be compensated for more quickly. For
example, an obstruction over the sense pad (for which the sensor has already made full allowance) could suddenly
be removed, leaving the sensor with an artificially elevated reference level and thus become insensitive to touch. In
this latter case, the sensor will compensate for the object's removal very quickly, usually in only a few seconds.
Negative drift (that is, towards touch) occurs at a rate of ~3 seconds, while positive drift occurs at a rate of
~1 second.
Drifting only occurs when no keys are in detect state.
2.2.6 Response Time
The QT1040 response time is highly dependent on run mode and burst length, which in turn is dependent on Cs and
Cx. With increasing Cs, response time slows, while increasing levels of Cx reduce response time. The response time
will also be slower in slow mode due to a longer time between burst measurements. This mode offers an increased
detection latency in favor of reduced average current consumption.
2.2.7 Spread Spectrum
The QT1040 modulates its internal oscillator by ±7.5% during the measurement burst. This spreads the generated
noise over a wider band reducing emission levels. This also reduces susceptibility since there is no longer a single
fundamental burst frequency.
2.2.8 Max On-duration
If an object or material obstructs the sense pad, the signal may rise enough to create a detection, preventing further
operation. To prevent this, the sensor includes a timer known as the Max On-duration feature which monitors
detections. If a detection exceeds the timer setting, the sensor performs an automatic recalibration. Max On-duration
is set to ~30s.AT42QT1040 [DATASHEET] 7 9524D–AT42–05/2013
3. Wiring and Parts
3.1 Cs Sample Capacitors
Cs0 – Cs3 are the charge sensing sample capacitors; normally they are identical in nominal value. The optimal Cs
values depend on the corresponding keys electrode design, the thickness of the panel and its dielectric constant.
Thicker panels require larger values of Cs. Values can be in the range 2.2 nF (for faster operation) to 22 nF (for best
sensitivity); typical values are 4.7 nF to 10 nF.
The value of Cs should be chosen such that a light touch on a key mounted in a production unit or a prototype panel
causes a reliable detection. The chosen Cs value should never be so large that the key signals exceed ~1000, as
reported by the chip in the debug data.
The Cs capacitors must be X7R or PPS film type, for stability. For consistent sensitivity, they should have a 10%
tolerance. Twenty percent tolerance may cause small differences in sensitivity from key to key and unit to unit. If a
key is not used, the Cs capacitor may be omitted.
3.2 Rs Resistors
The series resistors Rs0 – Rs3 are in line with the electrode connections (close to the QT1040 chip) and are used to
limit electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents and to suppress radio frequency (RF) interference. A typical value is
4.7 k, but up to 20 k can be used if it is found to be of benefit.
Although these resistors may be omitted, the device may become susceptible to external noise or radio frequency
interference (RFI). For details on how to select these resistors refer to Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a
Successful QTouch Design, and the Touch Sensors Design Guide, both downloadable from the Touch Technology
area of the Atmel website, www.atmel.com.
3.3 LED Traces and Other Switching Signals
For advice on LEDs and nearby traces, refer to Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch
Design, and the Touch Sensors Design Guide, both downloadable from the Touch Technology area of Atmel’s
website, www.atmel.com.
3.4 PCB Cleanliness
Modern no-clean flux is generally compatible with capacitive sensing circuits.
3.5 Power Supply
See Section 5.2 on page 15 for the power supply range. If the power supply fluctuates slowly with temperature, the
device tracks and compensates for these changes automatically with only minor changes in sensitivity. If the supply
voltage drifts or shifts quickly, the drift compensation mechanism is not able to keep up, causing sensitivity
anomalies or false detections.
The usual power supply considerations with QT parts apply to the device. The power should be clean and come from
a separate regulator if possible. However, this device is designed to minimize the effects of unstable power, and
except in extreme conditions should not require a separate Low Dropout (LDO) regulator.
CAUTION: If a PCB is reworked to correct soldering faults relating to the device, or
to any associated traces or components, be sure that you fully understand the
nature of the flux used during the rework process. Leakage currents from
hygroscopic ionic residues can stop capacitive sensors from functioning. If you
have any doubts, a thorough cleaning after rework may be the only safe option.AT42QT1040 [DATASHEET] 8
9524D–AT42–05/2013
See under Figure 1.3 on page 4 for suggested regulator manufacturers.
It is assumed that a larger bypass capacitor (for example, 1 µF) is somewhere else in the power circuit; for example,
near the regulator.
To assist with transient regulator stability problems, the QT1040 waits 500 µs any time it wakes up from a sleep state
(that is, in Sleep mode) before acquiring, to allow Vdd to fully stabilize.
3.6 VQFN Package Restrictions
The central pad on the underside of the VQFN chip should be connected to ground. Do not run any tracks
underneath the body of the chip, only ground. Figure 3-1 shows an example of good/bad tracking.
Figure 3-1. Examples of Good and Bad Tracking
Caution: A regulator IC shared with other logic can result in erratic operation and is
not advised.
A single ceramic 0.1 µF bypass capacitor, with short traces, should be placed very
close to the power pins of the IC. Failure to do so can result in device oscillation, high
current consumption, erratic operation, and so on.
Example of GOOD tracking Example of BAD trackingAT42QT1040 [DATASHEET] 9 9524D–AT42–05/2013
4. Detailed Operations
4.1 Adjacent Key Suppression
The use of AKS is selected by the connection of a 1 M resistor (RAKS resistor) between the SNSK0 pin and either
Vdd (AKS mode on) or Vss (AKS mode off).
Note: Changing the RAKS option will affect the sensitivity of the particular key. Always check that the sensitivity is
suitable after a change. Retune Cs0 if necessary.
4.2 Discrete Outputs
There are four discrete outputs (channels 0 to 3), located on pins OUT0 to OUT3. An output pin goes active when
the corresponding key is touched. The outputs are open-drain type and are active-low.
On the OUT2 pin there is a ~500 ns low pulse occurring approximately 20 ms after a power-up/reset (see Figure 4-1
for an example oscilloscope trace of this pulse at two zoom levels). This pulse may need to be considered from the
system design perspective.
The discrete outputs have sufficient current sinking capability to directly drive LEDs. Try to limit the sink current to
less than 5 mA per output and be cautious if connecting LEDs to a power supply other than Vdd; if the LED supply is
higher than Vdd it may cause erratic behavior of the QT1040 and back-power the QT1040 through its I/O pins.
Table 4-1. RAKS Resistor

Vdd AKS on
Vss AKS off
The RAKS resistor should always be connected to either Vdd or Vss and should not be
changed during operation of the device.AT42QT1040 [DATASHEET] 10
9524D–AT42–05/2013
Figure 4-1. ~500 ns Pulse On OUT2 Pin
4.3 Speed Selection
Speed selection is determined by a 1 M resistor (RFS resistor) connected between SNSK1 and either Vdd (Fast
Mode) or Vss (Slow Mode).
In Fast Mode, the device sleeps for 16 ms between burst acquisitions. In Slow Mode, the device sleeps for 64 ms
between acquisitions. Hence, Slow Mode conserves more power but results in slightly less responsiveness.
Note: The RFS resistor should always be connected to either Vdd or Vss and not changed during operation of the
device. Changing the RFS option will affect the sensitivity of the particular key. Always check that the
sensitivity is suitable after a change. Retune Cs1 if necessary.
4.4 Moisture Tolerance
The presence of water (condensation, sweat, spilt water, and so on) on a sensor can alter the signal values
measured and thereby affect the performance of any capacitive device. The moisture tolerance of QTouch devices
can be improved by designing the hardware and fine-tuning the firmware following the recommendations in the
application note Atmel AVR3002: Moisture Tolerant QTouch Design (www.atmel.com/Images/doc42017.pdf).

4.5 Calibration
Calibration is the process by which the sensor chip assesses the background capacitance on each channel. During
calibration, a number of samples are taken in quick succession to get a baseline for the channel reference value.
Calibration takes place ~50 ms after power is applied to the device. Calibration also occurs if the Max On-duration is
exceeded or a positive re-calibration occurs.
4.6 Debug Mode
An added feature to this device is a debug option whereby internal parameters from the IC can be clocked out and
monitored externally.
Debug mode is entered by shorting the CS3 capacitor (SNSK3 and SNS3 pins) on power-up and removing the short
within 5 seconds.
Note: If the short is not removed within 5 seconds, debug mode is still entered, but with Channel 3 unusable until
a re-calibration occurs. Note that as Channel 3 will show as being in detect, a recalibration will occur after
Max On-duration (~30 seconds).
Debug CLK pin (OUT0) and Debug Data pin (OUT1) float while debug data is not being output and are driven
outputs once debug output starts (that is, not open drain).
The serial data is clocked out at a rate of ~200 kHz, MSB first, as in Table 4-3.

architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional
CISC microcontrollers.
The Atmel AT90USB64/128 provides the following features: 64/128Kbytes of In-System Programmable
Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 2K/4Kbytes EEPROM, 4K/8K bytes
SRAM, 48 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, Real Time Counter
(RTC), four flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes and PWM, one USART, a byte oriented
2-wire Serial Interface, a 8-channels, 10-bit ADC with optional differential input stage with
programmable gain, programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port,
IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG test interface, also used for accessing the On-chip Debug system
and programming and six software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops
the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue
functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling
all other chip functions until the next interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode,
the asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the
rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules
except Asynchronous Timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC
conversions. In Standby mode, the Crystal/Resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the
device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low power consumption. In
Extended Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue to run.
The device is manufactured using the Atmel high-density nonvolatile memory technology. The
On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI
serial interface, by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip Boot program
running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the
application program in the application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash section will
continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write
operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a
monolithic chip, the AT90USB64/128 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible
and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The AT90USB64/128 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit emulators,
and evaluation kits.8

4. About code examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of
the device. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files
and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.
These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation.
For I/O registers located in extended I/O map, "IN", "OUT", "SBIS", "SBIC", "CBI", and "SBI"
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically
"LDS" and "STS" combined with "SBRS", "SBRC", "SBR", and "CBR".11

5. AVR CPU core
5.1 Introduction
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core
is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories,
perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
5.2 Architectural overview
Figure 5-1. Block diagram of the AVR architecture.
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-System Re-programmable Flash memory.

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
The fast-access Register File contains 32 × 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers
can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to
directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format.
Every program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot Program section and the
Application Program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock bits for write and read/write
protection. The SPM instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory section must
reside in the Boot Program section.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data
Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F. In addition, the Atmel
AT90USB64/128 has Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM where only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
5.3 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose
working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose
registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations of the
architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication
and fractional format. See the “Instruction set summary” on page 423 for a detailed description.13
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
5.4 Status register
The status register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional
operations. Note that the status register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the
Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare
instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored
when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The AVR status register – SREG – is defined as:
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt
enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable
Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt
enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by
the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by
the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination
for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry Is useful
in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instruction set summary” on page 423 for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction set summary” on page 423 for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
“Instruction set summary” on page 423 for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the
“Instruction set summary” on page 423 for detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction
set summary” on page 423 for detailed information.

• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction set
summary” on page 423 for detailed information.
5.5 General purpose register file
The register file is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve the
required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
register file:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 5-2 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 5-2. AVR CPU general purpose working registers.
Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and
most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 5-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y-, and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the file.
5.5.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 5-3.

Figure 5-3. The X-, Y-, and Z-registers.
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
5.6 Stack pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x0100. The initial value of the stack pointer is the last address of the internal
SRAM. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack with the
PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by three when the return address is pushed onto the
Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by three when data is
popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of
bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations
of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register
will not be present.

5.6.1 RAMPZ - Extended Z-pointer register for ELPM/SPM
For ELPM/SPM instructions, the Z-pointer is a concatenation of RAMPZ, ZH, and ZL, as shown
in Figure 5-4. Note that LPM is not affected by the RAMPZ setting.
Figure 5-4. The Z-pointer used by ELPM and SPM.
The actual number of bits is implementation dependent. Unused bits in an implementation will
always read as zero. For compatibility with future devices, be sure to write these bits to zero.
5.7 Instruction execution timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR
CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the
chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 5-5 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.
Figure 5-5. The parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions.
Figure 5-6 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle an ALU
operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination
register.

5.8 Reset and interrupt handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are
assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt
Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt. Depending on the Program
Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12
are programmed. This feature improves software security. See the section “Memory programming”
on page 359 for details.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 68. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the
priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request
0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL
bit in the MCU Control Register (MCUCR). Refer to “Interrupts” on page 68 for more information.
The Reset Vector can also be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by programming the
BOOTRST Fuse, see “Memory programming” on page 359.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding
Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s)
to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is
cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the
Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.

Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence.
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed
before any pending interrupts, as shown in this example.
Assembly code example
in r16, SREG ; store SREG value
cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence
sbi EECR, EEMPE ; start EEPROM write
sbi EECR, EEPE
out SREG, r16 ; restore SREG value (I-bit)
C code example
char cSREG;
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */
__disable_interrupt();
EECR |= (1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock cycles from
when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles,
where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
13.3 External clock source
An external clock source applied to the Tn pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clkTn). The
Tn pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized
(sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 13-1 shows a functional
equivalent block diagram of the Tn synchronization and edge detector logic. The registers are
clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch is transparent in the
high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkTn pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative (CSn2:0
= 6) edge it detects.
Figure 13-1. Tn/T0 pin sampling.
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the Tn pin to the counter is updated.
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when Tn has been stable for at least one
system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.

Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system
clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses
sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency
(Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency
and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is
recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

13.4 GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization Mode
Writing the TSM bit to one activates the Timer/Counter Synchronization mode. In this mode, the
value that is written to the PSRASY and PSRSYNC bits is kept, hence keeping the corresponding
prescaler reset signals asserted. This ensures that the corresponding Timer/Counters are
halted and can be configured to the same value without the risk of one of them advancing during
configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSRASY and PSRSYNC bits are cleared
by hardware, and the Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.
• Bit 0 – PSRSYNC: Prescaler Reset for Synchronous Timer/Counters
When this bit is one, Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter3 prescaler will be
Reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by hardware, except if the TSM bit is set. Note
that Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter3 share the same prescaler and a reset
of this prescaler will affect all timers.

14. 8-bit Timer/Counter0 with PWM
Timer/Counter0 is a general purpose 8-bit Timer/Counter module, with two independent Output
Compare Units, and with PWM support. It allows accurate program execution timing (event management)
and wave generation. The main features are:
• Two independent output compare units
• Double buffered output compare registers
• Clear timer on compare match (auto reload)
• Glitch free, phase correct pulse width modulator (PWM)
• Variable PWM period
• Frequency generator
• Three independent interrupt sources (TOV0, OCF0A, and OCF0B)
14.1 Overview
A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 14-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout Atmel AT90USB64/128-TQFP.” on page 3. CPU accessible
I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O
Register and bit locations are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter register description” on page 108.
Figure 14-1. 8-bit Timer/Counter block diagram.
14.1.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and Output Compare Registers (OCR0A and OCR0B) are 8-bit
registers. Interrupt request (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the
Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR0). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt
Mask Register (TIMSK0). TIFR0 and TIMSK0 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on
the T0 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter
uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source
is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT0).

The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR0A and OCR0B) are compared with the
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator
to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pins (OC0A and
OC0B). See “Output compare unit” on page 100. for details. The Compare Match event will also
set the Compare Flag (OCF0A or OCF0B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare
interrupt request.
14.1.2 Definitions
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 0. A lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare
Unit, in this case Compare Unit A or Compare Unit B. However, when using the register or
bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, that is, TCNT0 for accessing
Timer/Counter0 counter value and so on.
The definitions in the table below are also used extensively throughout the document.
14.2 Timer/Counter clock sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source
is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CS02:0) bits
located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR0B). For details on clock sources and prescaler,
see “Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter3 prescalers” on page 96.
14.3 Counter unit
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure
14-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.
Figure 14-2. Counter unit block diagram.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x00.
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF
(MAX) or the value stored in the OCR0A Register. The assignment is dependent
on the mode of operation.

clkTn Timer/Counter clock, referred to as clkT0 in the following.
top Signalize that TCNT0 has reached maximum value.
bottom Signalize that TCNT0 has reached minimum value (zero).
Depending of the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT0). clkT0 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CS02:0). When no clock source is selected (CS02:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT0 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT0 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM01 and WGM00 bits located in
the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR0A) and the WGM02 bit located in the Timer/Counter
Control Register B (TCCR0B). There are close connections between how the counter behaves
(counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC0A and OC0B.
For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of
operation” on page 103.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM02:0 bits. TOV0 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
14.4 Output compare unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the Output Compare Registers
(OCR0A and OCR0B). Whenever TCNT0 equals OCR0A or OCR0B, the comparator signals a
match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag (OCF0A or OCF0B) at the next timer clock
cycle. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the Output Compare Flag generates an Output
Compare interrupt. The Output Compare Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed.
Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit
location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to generate an output according to
operating mode set by the WGM02:0 bits and Compare Output mode (COM0x1:0) bits. The
maximum and bottom signals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special
cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (“Modes of operation” on page 103).
Figure 14-3 on page 101 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. 101
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 14-3. Output Compare Unit, block diagram.
The OCR0x Registers are double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double
buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR0x Compare
Registers to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR0x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR0x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR0x directly.
14.4.1 Force output compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC0x) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the
OCF0x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC0x pin will be updated as if a real Compare
Match had occurred (the COM0x1:0 bits settings define whether the OC0x pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
14.4.2 Compare match blocking by TCNT0 write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any Compare Match that occur in the
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0x to be initialized
to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is
enabled.
14.4.3 Using the output compare unit
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all Compare Matches for one timer
clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT0 when using the Output Compare
Unit, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT0
equals the OCR0x value, the Compare Match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT0 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
down-counting.

The setup of the OC0x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC0x value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC0x) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC0x Registers keep their values even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM0x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM0x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.
14.5 Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode (COM0x1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator uses
the COM0x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC0x) state at the next Compare Match.
Also, the COM0x1:0 bits control the OC0x pin output source. Figure 14-4 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COM0x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O
pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM0x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OC0x state, the reference is for the internal OC0x Register, not the OC0x pin. If a system reset
occur, the OC0x Register is reset to “0”.
Figure 14-4. Compare Match Output Unit, schematic.
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC0x) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COM0x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC0x pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC0x pin (DDR_OC0x) must be set as output before the OC0x value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC0x state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COM0x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter register description” on page 108.
14.5.1 Compare output mode and waveform generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM0x1:0 bits differently in Normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM0x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OC0x Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For compare output actions in

the non-PWM modes refer to Table 14-1 on page 109. For fast PWM mode, refer to Table 14-2
on page 109, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 14-3 on page 109.
A change of the COM0x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC0x strobe bits.
14.6 Modes of operation
The mode of operation, that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins,
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM02:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM0x1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM0x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM0x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a Compare
Match (See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 102.).
For detailed timing information see “Timer/Counter timing diagrams” on page 107.
14.6.1 Normal mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM02:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom
(0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) will be set in the same
timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 becomes zero. The TOV0 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth
bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV0 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written
anytime.
The Output Compare Unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
14.6.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM02:0 = 2), the OCR0A Register is used to
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter
value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0A. The OCR0A defines the top value for the counter, hence
also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare Match output frequency. It
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 14-5 on page 104. The counter value
(TCNT0) increases until a Compare Match occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and then counter
(TCNT0) is cleared.104
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 14-5. CTC mode, timing diagram.
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the
OCF0A Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating
the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running
with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not
have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR0A is lower than the current
value of TCNT0, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to
its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can
occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC0A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM0A1:0 = 1). The OC0A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC0 =
fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV0 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x00.
14.6.3 Fast PWM mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM02:0 = 3 or 7) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by
its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR0A when WGM2:0 = 7. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0x) is cleared on the Compare Match
between TCNT0 and OCR0x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the output
is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the
operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM
mode that use dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited
for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the TOP value.
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast

PWM mode is shown in Figure 14-6. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes represent Compare
Matches between OCR0x and TCNT0.
Figure 14-6. Fast PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0x pins.
Setting the COM0x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM0x1:0 to three: Setting the COM0A1:0 bits to one allows
the OC0A pin to toggle on Compare Matches if the WGM02 bit is set. This option is not available
for the OC0B pin (see Table 14-2 on page 109). The actual OC0x value will only be visible on
the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated
by setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at the Compare Match between OCR0x and
TCNT0, and clearing (or setting) the OC0x Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is
cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will
be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR0A equal to MAX will result
in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM0A1:0
bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC0x to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COM0x1:0 = 1). The waveform
generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC0 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0A is set to zero. This

feature is similar to the OC0A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output
Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
14.6.4 Phase correct PWM mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM02:0 = 1 or 5) provides a high resolution phase correct
PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 1, and OCR0A when WGM2:0 = 5. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0x) is cleared on the Compare Match
between TCNT0 and OCR0x while up-counting, and set on the Compare Match while downcounting.
In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation
has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches TOP.
When the counter reaches TOP, it changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will be equal
to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown
on Figure 14-7. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating
the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The
small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes represent Compare Matches between OCR0x
and TCNT0.
Figure 14-7. Phase correct PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The
Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM
value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC0x pins. Setting the COM0x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM0x1:0 to three: Setting the COM0A0 bits to

one allows the OC0A pin to toggle on Compare Matches if the WGM02 bit is set. This option is
not available for the OC0B pin (see Table 14-3 on page 109). The actual OC0x value will only be
visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is
generated by clearing (or setting) the OC0x Register at the Compare Match between OCR0x
and TCNT0 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at Compare
Match between OCR0x and TCNT0 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for
the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 14-7 on page 106 OCnx has a transition from high to low
even though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.
• OCR0A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 14-7 on page 106. When the OCR0A
value is MAX the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare
Match. To ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the
result of an up-counting Compare Match
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR0A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the
way up

The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT0) is therefore shown as a
clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt
Flags are set. Figure 14-8 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure
shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM
mode.

• Bits 7:6 – COM01A:0: Compare Match Output A Mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC0A) behavior. If one or both of the COM0A1:0
bits are set, the OC0A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC0A pin
must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC0A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0A1:0 bits depends on the
WGM02:0 bit setting. Table 14-1 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits
are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 14-2 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM01:0 bits are set to fast PWM
mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR0A equals TOP and COM0A1 is set. In this case, the Compare
Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Fast PWM mode” on page 104
for more details.
Table 14-3 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits are set to phase correct

Combined with the WGM02 bit found in the TCCR0B Register, these bits control the counting
sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform
generation to be used, see Table 14-7. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter
unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode, and two types of
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes (see “Modes of operation” on page 103).

14.8.2 TCCR0B – Timer/Counter Control Register B
• Bit 7 – FOC0A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC0A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when
TCCR0B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0A bit,
an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0A output is
changed according to its COM0A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC0A bit is implemented as a
strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the
forced compare.
A FOC0A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using
OCR0A as TOP.
The FOC0A bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – FOC0B: Force Output Compare B
The FOC0B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when

The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter.
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter0, transitions on the T0 pin will clock the

counting.
14.8.3 TCNT0 – Timer/Counter Register
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes) the Compare
Match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while the counter is running,
introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between TCNT0 and the OCR0x Registers.

15. 16-bit Timer/Counter (Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter3)
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),
wave generation, and signal timing measurement. The main features are:
• True 16-bit design (that is, allows 16-bit PWM)
• Three independent output compare units
• Double buffered output compare registers
• One input capture unit
• Input capture noise canceler
• Clear timer on compare match (auto reload)
• Glitch-free, phase correct pulse width modulator (PWM)
• Variable PWM period
• Frequency generator
• External event counter
• Ten independent interrupt sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, OCF1C, ICF1, TOV3, OCF3A, OCF3B,
OCF3C, and ICF3)
15.1 Overview
Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit
channel. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be
used, that is, TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 15-1 on page 116. For
the actual placement of I/O pins, see “Pinout Atmel AT90USB64/128-TQFP.” on page 3. CPU
accessible I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific
I/O Register and bit locations are listed in the “16-bit Timer/Counter (Timer/Counter1 and
Timer/Counter3)” on page 115.
The Power Reduction Timer/Counter1 bit, PRTIM1, in “PRR0 – Power Reduction Register 0” on
page 54 must be written to zero to enable Timer/Counter1 module.
The Power Reduction Timer/Counter3 bit, PRTIM3, in “PRR1 – Power Reduction Register 1” on
page 55 must be written to zero to enable Timer/Counter3 module.116

Note: 1. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 3, Table 11-6 on page 79, and Table 11-9 on page 82 for
Timer/Counter1 and 3 and 3 pin placement and description.
15.1.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNTn), Output Compare Registers (OCRnA/B/C), and Input Capture Register
(ICRn) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-
bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Accessing 16-bit registers” on page
117. The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCRnA/B/C) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU
access restrictions. Interrupt requests (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer
Interrupt Flag Register (TIFRn). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt
Mask Register (TIMSKn). TIFRn and TIMSKn are not shown in the figure since these registers
are shared by other timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on
the Tn pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter
uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source
is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkTn).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCRnA/B/C) are compared with the
Timer/Counter value at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator
to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OCnA/B/C).

See “Output Compare units” on page 124.. The compare match event will also set the Compare
Match Flag (OCFnA/B/C) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.
The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered)
event on either the Input Capture pin (ICPn) or on the Analog Comparator pins (see
“Analog Comparator” on page 304) The Input Capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (Noise
Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined
by either the OCRnA Register, the ICRn Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using
OCRnA as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCRnA Register can not be used for generating a
PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowing the TOP
value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICRn Register can be used
as an alternative, freeing the OCRnA to be used as PWM output.
15.1.2 Definitions
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the document:
15.2 Accessing 16-bit registers
The TCNTn, OCRnA/B/C, and ICRn are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU
via the 8-bit data bus. The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations.
Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-
bit access. The same Temporary Register is shared between all 16-bit registers within each 16-
bit timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When the low byte of
a 16-bit register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the Temporary Register, and the
low byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low
byte of a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the
Temporary Register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the Temporary Register for the high byte. Reading the OCRnA/B/C
16-bit registers does not involve using the Temporary Register.
To do a 16-bit write, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit read, the low
byte must be read before the high byte.
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit timer registers assuming that no
interrupts updates the temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing
the OCRnA/B/C and ICRn Registers. Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit
access.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65535).
TOP
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values:
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCRnA or ICRn
Register. The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.118
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Note: 1. See “About code examples” on page 10.
The assembly code example returns the TCNTn value in the r17:r16 register pair.
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt
occurs between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code
updates the temporary register by accessing the same or any other of the 16-bit Timer Registers,
then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when both
the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary register, the main code must disable
the interrupts during the 16-bit access.

The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNTn Register contents.
Writing any of the OCRnA/B/C or ICRn Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Note: 1. See “About code examples” on page 10.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be written
to TCNTn.
15.2.1 Reusing the Temporary High Byte register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written,
then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic
operation described previously also applies in this case.
15.3 Timer/Counter clock sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source
is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CSn2:0) bits
located in the Timer/Counter control Register B (TCCRnB). For details on clock sources and
prescaler, see Section “Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter3 prescalers” on
page 96.

15.4 Counter unit
The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit.
Figure 15-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.
Figure 15-2. Counter unit block diagram.
Signal description (internal signals):
Count Increment or decrement TCNTn by 1.
Direction Select between increment and decrement.
Clear Clear TCNTn (set all bits to zero).
clkTn Timer/Counter clock.
TOP Signalize that TCNTn has reached maximum value.
BOTTOM Signalize that TCNTn has reached minimum value (zero).
The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: Counter High (TCNTnH) containing
the upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNTnL) containing the lower eight
bits. The TCNTnH Register can only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an
access to the TCNTnH I/O location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register (TEMP).
The temporary register is updated with the TCNTnH value when the TCNTnL is read, and
TCNTnH is updated with the temporary register value when TCNTnL is written. This allows the
CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus.
It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNTn Register when the
counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the
sections where they are of importance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkTn). The clkTn can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CSn2:0). When no clock source is selected (CSn2:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNTn value can be accessed by the CPU, independent of
whether clkTn is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits
(WGMn3:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCRnA and TCCRnB).
There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms
are generated on the Output Compare outputs OCnx. For more details about advanced counting
sequences and waveform generation, see Section “Modes of operation” on page 127.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGMn3:0 bits. TOVn can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
15.5 Input Capture unit
The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give
them a time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple
events, can be applied via the ICPn pin or alternatively, for the Timer/Counter1 only, via the
Analog Comparator unit. The time-stamps can then be used to calculate frequency, duty-cycle,
and other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating a
log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 15-3. The elements of
the block diagram that are not directly a part of the input capture unit are gray shaded. The small
“n” in register and bit names indicates the Timer/Counter number.
Figure 15-3. Input Capture Unit block diagram.
Note: The Analog Comparator Output (ACO) can only trigger the Timer/Counter1 ICP – not
Timer/Counter3, 4, or 5.
When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture Pin (ICPn), alternatively
on the analog Comparator output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge
detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter
(TCNTn) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICRn). The Input Capture Flag (ICFn) is set at
the same system clock as the TCNTn value is copied into ICRn Register. If enabled (TICIEn =
1), the input capture flag generates an input capture interrupt. The ICFn flag is automatically
cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICFn flag can be cleared by software by
writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.

Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICRn) is done by first reading the low
byte (ICRnL) and then the high byte (ICRnH). When the low byte is read the high byte is copied
into the high byte Temporary Register (TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICRnH I/O location it
will access the TEMP Register.
The ICRn Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that utilizes
the ICRn Register for defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the Waveform Generation
mode (WGMn3:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICRn
Register. When writing the ICRn Register the high byte must be written to the ICRnH I/O location
before the low byte is written to ICRnL.
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section “Accessing 16-bit
registers” on page 117.
15.5.1 Input Capture Trigger Source
The main trigger source for the input capture unit is the Input Capture Pin (ICPn).
Timer/Counter1 can alternatively use the analog comparator output as trigger source for the
input capture unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by setting the analog
Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register
(ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The input capture flag
must therefore be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture Pin (ICPn) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled
using the same technique as for the Tn pin (Figure 13-1 on page 96). The edge detector is also
identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the
edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. Note that the input of the
noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the Timer/Counter is set in a Waveform
Generation mode that uses ICRn to define TOP.
An input capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICPn pin.
15.5.2 Noise Canceler
The Noise Canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The
noise canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the
output that in turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNCn) bit in
Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCRnB). When enabled the noise canceler introduces additional
four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to the update of the
ICRn Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the
prescaler.
15.5.3 Using the Input Capture unit
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity
for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has
not read the captured value in the ICRn Register before the next event occurs, the ICRn will be
overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICRn Register should be read as early in the interrupt
handler routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has relatively high
priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum number of clock
cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.124
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is
actively changed during operation, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after
each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICRn
Register has been read. After a change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag (ICFn) must be
cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,
the clearing of the ICFn Flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).
15.6 Output Compare units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNTn with the Output Compare Register
(OCRnx). If TCNT equals OCRnx the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output
Compare Flag (OCFnx) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIEnx = 1), the Output Compare
Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCFnx Flag is automatically cleared
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCFnx Flag can be cleared by software by writing
a logical one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to
generate an output according to operating mode set by the Waveform Generation mode
(WGMn3:0) bits and Compare Output mode (COMnx1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals
are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in
some modes of operation (see “Modes of operation” on page 127)
A special feature of Output Compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP value (that
is, counter resolution). In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period
time for waveforms generated by the Waveform Generator.
Figure 15-4 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The small “n” in the register and
bit names indicates the device number (n = n for Timer/Counter n), and the “x” indicates Output
Compare unit (A/B/C). The elements of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Output
Compare unit are gray shaded.

AT90USB64/128
The OCRnx Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the
double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCRnx Compare
Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The synchronization
prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output
glitch-free.
The OCRnx Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCRnx Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCRnx directly. The content of the OCR1x (Buffer or Compare)
Register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/Counter does not update this register
automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Register). Therefore OCR1x is not read via the high byte
temporary register (TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the low byte first as when
accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCRnx Registers must be done via the TEMP Register
since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte (OCRnxH) has to be
written first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be
updated by the value written. Then when the low byte (OCRnxL) is written to the lower eight bits,
the high byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCRnx buffer or OCRnx Compare
Register in the same system clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section “Accessing 16-bit registers”
on page 117.
15.6.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOCnx) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the
OCFnx Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OCnx pin will be updated as if a real compare
match had occurred (the COMn1:0 bits settings define whether the OCnx pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
15.6.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNTn write
All CPU writes to the TCNTn Register will block any compare match that occurs in the next timer
clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCRnx to be initialized to the
same value as TCNTn without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
15.6.3 Using the Output Compare unit
Since writing TCNTn in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNTn when using any of the Output Compare
channels, independent of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to
TCNTn equals the OCRnx value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Do not write the TCNTn equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP
values. The compare match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF.
Similarly, do not write the TCNTn value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is counting down.
The setup of the OCnx should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OCnx value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOCnx) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OCnx Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COMnx1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COMnx1:0 bits will take effect immediately.126
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
15.7 Compare Match Output unit
The Compare Output mode (COMnx1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator uses
the COMnx1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OCnx) state at the next compare match.
Secondly the COMnx1:0 bits control the OCnx pin output source. Figure 15-5 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COMnx1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O
pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COMnx1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OCnx state, the reference is for the internal OCnx Register, not the OCnx pin. If a system reset
occur, the OCnx Register is reset to “0”.
Figure 15-5. Compare Match Output unit, schematic.
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OCnx) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COMnx1:0 bits are set. However, the OCnx pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OCnx pin (DDR_OCnx) must be set as output before the OCnx value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the Waveform Generation
mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 15-1 on page 137, Table 15-2 on page
137, and Table 15-3 on page 138 for details.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OCnx state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COMnx1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “16-bit Timer/Counter (Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter3)” on page 115.
The COMnx1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.
15.7.1 Compare Output mode and Waveform generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COMnx1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COMnx1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OCnx Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in the

non-PWM modes refer to Table 15-1 on page 137. For fast PWM mode refer to Table 15-2 on
page 137, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 15-3 on
page 138.
A change of the COMnx1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOCnx strobe bits.
15.8 Modes of operation
The mode of operation, that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins,
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGMn3:0) and Compare Output
mode (COMnx1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COMnx1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COMnx1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a compare
match (see “Compare Match Output unit” on page 126).
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter timing diagrams” on page 134.
15.8.1 Normal mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGMn3:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the
BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) will be set in
the same timer clock cycle as the TCNTn becomes zero. The TOVn Flag in this case behaves
like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow
interrupt that automatically clears the TOVn Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be
written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maximum
interval between the external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval
between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to
extend the resolution for the capture unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the
Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
15.8.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGMn3:0 = 4 or 12), the OCRnA or ICRn Register
are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when
the counter value (TCNTn) matches either the OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 4) or the ICRn (WGMn3:0 =
12). The OCRnA or ICRn define the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This
mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation
of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 15-6 on page 128. The counter value
(TCNTn) increases until a compare match occurs with either OCRnA or ICRn, and then counter
(TCNTn) is cleared.128
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 15-6. CTC mode, timing diagram.
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either
using the OCFnA or ICFn Flag according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However,
changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a
low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering
feature. If the new value written to OCRnA or ICRn is lower than the current value of
TCNTn, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum
value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur.
In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode
using OCRnA for defining TOP (WGMn3:0 = 15) since the OCRnA then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OCnA output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COMnA1:0 = 1). The OCnA value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output (DDR_OCnA = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency
of fOCnA = fclk_I/O/2 when OCRnA is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform frequency is
defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOVn Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
15.8.3 Fast PWM mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGMn3:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) provides a
high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM
options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts
from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OCnx) is set on
the compare match between TCNTn and OCRnx, and cleared at TOP. In inverting Compare
Output mode output is cleared on compare match and set at TOP. Due to the single-slope operation,
the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct
and phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dual-slope operation. This high frequency
makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC
applications. High frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors),
hence reduces total system cost.

AT90USB64/128
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICRn or
OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to 0x0003), and the maximum
resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be
calculated by using the following equation:
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the
fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGMn3:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICRn (WGMn3:0 =
14), or the value in OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 15). The counter is then cleared at the following timer
clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 15-7. The figure
shows fast PWM mode when OCRnA or ICRn is used to define TOP. The TCNTn value is in the
timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram
includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNTn
slopes represent compare matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt Flag will
be set when a compare match occurs.
Figure 15-7. Fast PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition
the OCnA or ICFn Flag is set at the same timer clock cycle as TOVn is set when either OCRnA
or ICRn is used for defining the TOP value. If one of the interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler
routine can be used for updating the TOP and compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNTn and the OCRnx.
Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCRnx Registers are written.
The procedure for updating ICRn differs from updating OCRnA when used for defining the TOP
value. The ICRn Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICRn is changed to a low
value when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new
ICRn value written is lower than the current value of TCNTn. The result will then be that the
counter will miss the compare match at the TOP value. The counter will then have to count to the
MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur.
The OCRnA Register however, is double buffered. This feature allows the OCRnA I/O location

to be written anytime. When the OCRnA I/O location is written the value written will be put into
the OCRnA Buffer Register. The OCRnA Compare Register will then be updated with the value
in the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNTn matches TOP. The update is done
at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNTn is cleared and the TOVn Flag is set.
Using the ICRn Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICRn, the OCRnA Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OCnA. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCRnA
as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OCnx pins.
Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COMnx1:0 to three (see Table on page 137). The actual OCnx
value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output
(DDR_OCnx). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OCnx Register at
the compare match between OCRnx and TCNTn, and clearing (or setting) the OCnx Register at
the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output
will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCRnx equal to TOP
will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the
COMnx1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OCnA to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COMnA1:0 = 1). This applies only
if OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 15). The waveform generated will have
a maximum frequency of fOCnA = fclk_I/O/2 when OCRnA is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is
similar to the OCnA toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare
unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
15.8.4 Phase correct PWM mode
The phase correct Pulse Width Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGMn3:0 = 1, 2, 3,
10, or 11) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The
phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dualslope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from
TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OCnx) is
cleared on the compare match between TCNTn and OCRnx while upcounting, and set on the
compare match while downcounting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is
inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope
operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes
are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined
by either ICRn or OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to
f

0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to MAX). The PWM resolution
in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either
one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGMn3:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICRn
(WGMn3:0 = 10), or the value in OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 11). The counter has then reached the
TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNTn value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock
cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 15-8. The figure
shows phase correct PWM mode when OCRnA or ICRn is used to define TOP. The TCNTn
value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The
diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on
the TCNTn slopes represent compare matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt
Flag will be set when a compare match occurs.
Figure 15-8. Phase correct PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When
either OCRnA or ICRn is used for defining the TOP value, the OCnA or ICFn Flag is set accordingly
at the same timer clock cycle as the OCRnx Registers are updated with the double buffer
value (at TOP). The Interrupt Flags can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter
reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNTn and the OCRnx.
Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCRnx Registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 15-8 illustrates, changing the
TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the phase correct mode can result in an
unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in the time of update of the OCRnx RegRPCPWM

ister. Since the OCRnx update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This
implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the
length of the rising slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the
two slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the unsymmetrical
result on the output.
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase correct
mode when changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static
TOP value there are practically no differences between the two modes of operation.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the
OCnx pins. Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COMnx1:0 to three (see Table 15-3 on page 138).
The actual OCnx value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is
set as output (DDR_OCnx). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OCnx
Register at the compare match between OCRnx and TCNTn when the counter increments, and
clearing (or setting) the OCnx Register at compare match between OCRnx and TCNTn when
the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can
be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to BOTTOM the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If
OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 11) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output
will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.
15.8.5 Phase and frequency correct PWM mode
The phase and frequency correct Pulse Width Modulation, or phase and frequency correct PWM
mode (WGMn3:0 = 8 or 9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform
generation option. The phase and frequency correct PWM mode is, like the phase correct
PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM
(0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the
Output Compare (OCnx) is cleared on the compare match between TCNTn and OCRnx while
upcounting, and set on the compare match while downcounting. In inverting Compare Output
mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency
compared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the
dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM
mode is the time the OCRnx Register is updated by the OCRnx Buffer Register, (see Figure 15-
8 on page 131 and Figure 15-9 on page 133).
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either
ICRn or OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to 0x0003), and
f
OCnxPCPWM
f
clk_I/O
2 ⋅ ⋅ N TOP = ----------------------------133
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can
be calculated using the following equation:
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value
matches either the value in ICRn (WGMn3:0 = 8), or the value in OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 9). The
counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNTn value will be
equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct and frequency
correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 15-9. The figure shows phase and frequency correct
PWM mode when OCRnA or ICRn is used to define TOP. The TCNTn value is in the timing diagram
shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes noninverted
and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNTn slopes represent
compare matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt Flag will be set when a
compare match occurs.
Figure 15-9. Phase and frequency correct PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCRnx
Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCRnA or ICRn
is used for defining the TOP value, the OCnA or ICFn Flag set when TCNTn has reached TOP.
The Interrupt Flags can then be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the
TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or
equal to the value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the
Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNTn and the OCRnx.
As Figure 15-9 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, symmetrical
in all periods. Since the OCRnx Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising
and the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore
frequency correct.

Using the ICRn Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using
ICRn, the OCRnA Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OCnA. However,
if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by changing the TOP value, using the OCRnA as
TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms
on the OCnx pins. Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and
an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COMnx1:0 to three (see Table 15-3 on
page 138). The actual OCnx value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the
port pin is set as output (DDR_OCnx). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing)
the OCnx Register at the compare match between OCRnx and TCNTn when the counter increments,
and clearing (or setting) the OCnx Register at compare match between OCRnx and
TCNTn when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase
and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represents special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to BOTTOM the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be set to high for noninverted
PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If OCR1A
is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 9) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output will toggle
with a 50% duty cycle.
15.9 Timer/Counter timing diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkTn) is therefore shown as a
clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt
Flags are set, and when the OCRnx Register is updated with the OCRnx buffer value (only for
modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 15-10 shows a timing diagram for the setting of OCFnx.

When the OCnA, OCnB or OCnC is connected to the pin, the function of the COMnx1:0 bits is
dependent of the WGMn3:0 bits setting. Table 15-1 shows the COMnx1:0 bit functionality when
the WGMn3:0 bits are set to a normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 15-2 shows the COMnx1:0 bit functionality when the WGMn3:0 bits are set to the fast
PWM mode.
Note: A special case occurs when OCRnA/OCRnB/OCRnC equals TOP and
COMnA1/COMnB1/COMnC1 is set. In this case the compare match is ignored, but the set or clear
is done at TOP. See “Fast PWM mode” on page 104. for more details.

15.10.3 TCCR1B – Timer/Counter1 Control Register B
15.10.4 TCCR3B – Timer/Counter3 Control Register B
• Bit 7 – ICNCn: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture Noise Canceler. When the Noise Canceler is
activated, the input from the Input Capture Pin (ICPn) is filtered. The filter function requires four
successive equal valued samples of the ICPn pin for changing its output. The input capture is
therefore delayed by four Oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.
• Bit 6 – ICESn: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture Pin (ICPn) that is used to trigger a capture
event. When the ICESn bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and
when the ICESn bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICESn setting, the counter value is copied into the
Input Capture Register (ICRn). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICFn), and this
can be used to cause an Input Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.
When the ICRn is used as TOP value (see description of the WGMn3:0 bits located in the
TCCRnA and the TCCRnB Register), the ICPn is disconnected and consequently the input capture
function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be
written to zero when TCCRnB is written.

• Bit 2:0 – CSn2:0: Clock Select
The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Figure
14-8 on page 107 and Figure 14-9 on page 108.
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Countern, transitions on the Tn pin will clock the
counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the
counting.

• Bit 7 – FOCnA: Force Output Compare for Channel A
• Bit 6 – FOCnB: Force Output Compare for Channel B
• Bit 5 – FOCnC: Force Output Compare for Channel C
The FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bits are only active when the WGMn3:0 bits specifies a non-PWM
mode. When writing a logical one to the FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bit, an immediate compare
match is forced on the waveform generation unit. The OCnA/OCnB/OCnC output is changed
according to its COMnx1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bits are implemented
as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COMnx1:0 bits that determine the
effect of the forced compare.
A FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear
Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode using OCRnA as TOP.
The FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnB bits are always read as zero.

These bits are reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits

15.10.7 TCNT1H and TCNT1L – Timer/Counter1
15.10.8 TCNT3H and TCNT3L – Timer/Counter3
The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNTnH and TCNTnL, combined TCNTn) give direct
access, both for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To
ensure that both the high and low bytes are read and written simultaneously when the CPU
accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High Byte Register
(TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit
registers” on page 117.
Modifying the counter (TCNTn) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a compare
match between TCNTn and one of the OCRnx Registers.
Writing to the TCNTn Register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock
for all compare units.

The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNTn). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OCnx pin.
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are
written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed using an
8-bit temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other

can be used for defining the counter TOP value.
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are read
simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit

16. 8-bit Timer/Counter2 with PWM and asynchronous operation
Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single channel, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. The main
features are:
• Single channel counter
• Clear timer on compare match (auto reload)
• Glitch-free, phase correct pulse width modulator (PWM)
• Frequency generator
• 10-bit clock prescaler
• Overflow and compare match interrupt sources (TOV2, OCF2A and OCF2B)
• Allows clocking from external 32kHz watch crystal independent of the I/O clock
16.1 Overview
A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 16-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, see “Pin configurations” on page 3. CPU accessible I/O Registers, including
I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations
are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter register description” on page 156.
The Power Reduction Timer/Counter2 bit, PRTIM2, in “PRR0 – Power Reduction Register 0” on
page 54 must be written to zero to enable Timer/Counter2 module.

16.1.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2A and OCR2B) are 8-bit registers.
Interrupt request (abbreviated to Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag
Register (TIFR2). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register
(TIMSK2). TIFR2 and TIMSK2 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from
the TOSC1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by
the Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR). The Clock Select logic block controls which clock
source the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive
when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the
timer clock (clkT2).
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2A and OCR2B) are compared with the
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator
to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pins (OC2A and
OC2B). See “Output Compare unit” on page 147. for details. The compare match event will also
set the Compare Flag (OCF2A or OCF2B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare
interrupt request.
16.1.2 Definitions
Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used, that is, TCNT2 for accessing
Timer/Counter2 counter value and so on.
The definitions in the table below are also used extensively throughout the section.
16.2 Timer/Counter clock sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous
clock source. The clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS2
bit in the ASSR Register is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter
Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For details on asynchronous operation, see “ASSR
– Asynchronous Status Register” on page 161. For details on clock sources and prescaler, see
“Timer/Counter prescaler” on page 164.
16.3 Counter unit
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure
16-2 on page 147 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF
(MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2A Register. The assignment is dependent
on the mode of operation.147

clear Clear TCNT2 (set all bits to zero).
clkTn Timer/Counter clock, referred to as clkT2 in the following.
top Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached maximum value.
bottom Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero).
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is selected (CS22:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits located in
the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2A) and the WGM22 located in the Timer/Counter
Control Register B (TCCR2B). There are close connections between how the counter behaves
(counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC2A and OC2B.
For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of
operation” on page 150.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM22:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
16.4 Output Compare unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR2A and OCR2B). Whenever TCNT2 equals OCR2A or OCR2B, the comparator signals a
match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag (OCF2A or OCF2B) at the next timer clock
cycle. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the Output Compare Flag generates an Output
Compare interrupt. The Output Compare Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed.
Alternatively, the Output Compare Flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical
one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to generate an output
according to operating mode set by the WGM22:0 bits and Compare Output mode (COM2x1:0)
bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special
cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (“Modes of operation” on page 150).
Figure 15-10 on page 134 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit.

Figure 16-3. Output Compare unit, block diagram.
The OCR2x Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double
buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR2x Compare
Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR2x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR2x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR2x directly.
16.4.1 Force output compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC2x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the
OCF2x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC2x pin will be updated as if a real compare
match had occurred (the COM2x1:0 bits settings define whether the OC2x pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
16.4.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT2 Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any compare match that occurs in the
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR2x to be initialized
to the same value as TCNT2 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is
enabled.
16.4.3 Using the Output Compare unit
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the Output Compare channel,
independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT2
equals the OCR2x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
downcounting.

The setup of the OC2x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC2x value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC2x) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC2x Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM2x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM2x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.
16.5 Compare Match Output unit
The Compare Output mode (COM2x1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator uses
the COM2x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC2x) state at the next compare match.
Also, the COM2x1:0 bits control the OC2x pin output source. Figure 16-4 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COM2x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O
pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM2x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OC2x state, the reference is for the internal OC2x Register, not the OC2x pin.
Figure 16-4. Compare Match Output unit, schematic.
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2x) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COM2x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC2x pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC2x pin (DDR_OC2x) must be set as output before the OC2x value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC2x state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COM2x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter register description” on page 156.

16.5.1 Compare Output mode and Waveform generating
The Waveform Generator uses the COM2x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM2x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OC2x Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in the
non-PWM modes refer to Table 16-4 on page 157. For fast PWM mode, refer to Table 16-5 on
page 158, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 16-6 on page 158.
A change of the COM2x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC2x strobe bits.
16.6 Modes of operation
The mode of operation, that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins,
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM22:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM2x1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM2x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM2x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a compare
match (see “Compare Match Output unit” on page 149).
For detailed timing information refer to Section “Timer/Counter timing diagrams” on page 154.
16.6.1 Normal mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM22:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom
(0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) will be set in the same
timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The TOV2 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth
bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV2 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written
anytime.
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
16.6.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM22:0 = 2), the OCR2A Register is used to
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter
value (TCNT2) matches the OCR2A. The OCR2A defines the top value for the counter, hence
also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Table 16-5 on page 151. The counter value
(TCNT2) increases until a compare match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2A, and then counter
(TCNT2) is cleared.151
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 16-5. CTC mode, timing diagram.
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the
OCF2A Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating
the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running
with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not
have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR2A is lower than the current
value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to
its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the compare match can
occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM2A1:0 = 1). The OC2A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC2A =
fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x00.
16.6.3 Fast PWM mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM22:0 = 3 or 7) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by
its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM22:0 = 3, and OCR2A when MGM22:0 = 7. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2x) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT2 and OCR2x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the output
is set on compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the
operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM
mode that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited
for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.

In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the TOP value.
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast
PWM mode is shown in Figure 16-6. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare
matches between OCR2x and TCNT2.
Figure 16-6. Fast PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2x pin.
Setting the COM2x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM2x1:0 to three. TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3,
and OCR2A when WGM2:0 = 7 (See Table 16-2 on page 157). The actual OC2x value will only
be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform
is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC2x Register at the compare match between
OCR2x and TCNT2, and clearing (or setting) the OC2x Register at the timer clock cycle the
counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will
be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR2A equal to MAX will result
in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM2A1:0
bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC2x to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM2x1:0 = 1). The waveform

generated will have a maximum frequency of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero. This feature
is similar to the OC2A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output
Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
16.6.4 Phase correct PWM mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM22:0 = 1 or 5) provides a high resolution phase correct
PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM22:0 = 1, and OCR2A when MGM22:0 = 5. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2x) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT2 and OCR2x while upcounting, and set on the compare match while downcounting.
In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has
lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches TOP.
When the counter reaches TOP, it changes the count direction. The TCNT2 value will be equal
to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown
on Figure 16-7. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating
the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The
small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare matches between OCR2x
and TCNT2.
Figure 16-7. Phase correct PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The
Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM
value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC2x pin. Setting the COM2x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM

output can be generated by setting the COM2x1:0 to three. TOP is defined as 0xFF when
WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR2A when MGM2:0 = 7 (see Table 16-3 on page 157). The actual OC2x
value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The
PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC2x Register at the compare match
between OCR2x and TCNT2 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC2x
Register at compare match between OCR2x and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The
PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 16-7 on page 153 OCnx has a transition from high to low
even though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.
• OCR2A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 16-7 on page 153. When the OCR2A
value is MAX the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting compare match.
To ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result
of an up-counting Compare Match
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the
way up
16.7 Timer/Counter timing diagrams
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT2)
is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by
the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are
set. Figure 16-8 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the
count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

16.8.1 TCCR2A – Timer/Counter Control Register A
• Bits 7:6 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output A mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0
bits are set, the OC2A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC2A pin
must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the
WGM22:0 bit setting. Table 16-1 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits

16.8.2 TCCR2B – Timer/Counter Control Register B
• Bit 7 – FOC2A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC2A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when
TCCR2B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2A bit,
an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2A output is
changed according to its COM2A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2A bit is implemented as a
strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM2A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the
forced compare.
A FOC2A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using
OCR2A as TOP.
The FOC2A bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – FOC2B: Force Output Compare B
The FOC2B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when
TCCR2B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2B bit,
an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2B output is

The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Table
16-8.
16.8.3 TCNT2 – Timer/Counter Register
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 Register blocks (removes) the Compare
Match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT2) while the counter is running,
introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between TCNT2 and the OCR2x Registers.
16.8.4 OCR2A – Output Compare Register A
The Output Compare Register A contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC2A pin.
16.8.5 OCR2B – Output Compare Register B
The Output Compare Register B contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the

16.9 Asynchronous operation of the Timer/Counter
16.9.1 ASSR – Asynchronous Status Register
• Bit 6 – EXCLK: Enable External Clock Input
When EXCLK is written to one, and asynchronous clock is selected, the external clock input buffer
is enabled and an external clock can be input on Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin instead of a
32 kHz crystal. Writing to EXCLK should be done before asynchronous operation is selected.
Note that the crystal Oscillator will only run when this bit is zero.
• Bit 5 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O. When AS2 is
written to one, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator
1 (TOSC1) pin. When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2A,
OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B might be corrupted.
• Bit 4 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 3 – OCR2AUB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2A is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 2 – OCR2BUB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2B is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2B has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2B is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 1 – TCR2AUB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2A is ready to be updated with a new
value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2BUB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2B is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2B has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2B is ready to be updated with a new
value.
If a write is performed to any of the five Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is
set, the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.

The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B are different.
When reading TCNT2, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A
and TCCR2B the value in the temporary storage register is read.
16.9.2 Asynchronous operation of Timer/Counter2
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of
Timer/Counter2, the Timer Registers TCNT2, OCR2x, and TCCR2x might be corrupted. A
safe procedure for switching clock source is:
a. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2x and TOIE2.
b. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate.
c. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2x, and TCCR2x.
d. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2UB, OCR2xUB, and TCR2xUB.
e. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags.
f. Enable interrupts, if needed.
• The CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times the Oscillator frequency
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2x, or TCCR2x, the value is transferred to a
temporary register, and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not
write a new value before the contents of the temporary register have been transferred to its
destination. Each of the five mentioned registers have their individual temporary register,
which means that, for example, writing to TCNT2 does not disturb an OCR2x write in
progress. To detect that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the
Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR has been implemented
• When entering Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode after having written to TCNT2,
OCR2x, or TCCR2x, the user must wait until the written register has been updated if
Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will enter sleep mode
before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if any of the Output Compare2
interrupt is used to wake up the device, since the Output Compare function is disabled during
writing to OCR2x or TCNT2. If the write cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode
before the corresponding OCR2xUB bit returns to zero, the device will never receive a
compare match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up
• If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction
mode, precautions must be taken if the user wants to re-enter one of these modes: The
interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time between wake-up and reentering
sleep mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not occur, and the
device will fail to wake up. If the user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering Powersave
or ADC Noise Reduction mode is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to
ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:
a. Write a value to TCCR2x, TCNT2, or OCR2x.
b. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.
c. Enter Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode.
• When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768kHz Oscillator for Timer/Counter2
is always running, except in Power-down and Standby modes. After a Power-up Reset or
wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this
Oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at
least one second before using Timer/Counter2 after power-up or wake-up from Power-down
or Standby mode. The contents of all Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost after 163
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
a wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon start-up, no
matter whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin
• Description of wake up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode when the timer is
clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up process is started
on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the timer is always advanced by at least one
before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four
cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction following
SLEEP
• Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an incorrect
result. Since TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading TCNT2 must be
done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain. Synchronization takes
place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When waking up from Power-save mode, and the I/O
clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will read as the previous value (before entering
sleep) until the next rising TOSC1 edge. The phase of the TOSC clock after waking up from
Power-save mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The
recommended procedure for reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:
a. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2x or TCCR2x.
b. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.
c. Read TCNT2.
• During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the
asynchronous timer takes 3 processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore
advanced by at least one before the processor can read the timer value causing the setting of
the Interrupt Flag. The Output Compare pin is changed on the timer clock and is not
synchronized to the processor clock
16.9.3 TIMSK2 – Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Mask Register
• Bit 2 – OCIE2B: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match B Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE2B bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match B interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed
if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the OCF2B bit is set in the
Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR2.
• Bit 1 – OCIE2A: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match A Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE2A bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match A interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed
if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the OCF2A bit is set in the
Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR2.
• Bit 0 – TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable
When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if an
overflow in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the TOV2 bit is set in the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt
Flag Register – TIFR2.

• Bit 2 – OCF2B: Output Compare Flag 2 B
The OCF2B bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2B – Output Compare Register2. OCF2B is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2B is cleared by writing a logic
one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2B (Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt
Enable), and OCF2B are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 1 – OCF2A: Output Compare Flag 2 A
The OCF2A bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2A – Output Compare Register2. OCF2A is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2A is cleared by writing a logic
one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2A (Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt
Enable), and OCF2A are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 0 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is cleared
by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2A (Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt
Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In
PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at 0x00.

The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to the main
system I/O clock clkIO. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously
clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter
(RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from Port C. A crystal can
then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an independent clock
source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. Applying
an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT2S/8, clkT2S/32, clkT2S/64,
clkT2S/128, clkT2S/256, and clkT2S/1024. Additionally, clkT2S as well as 0 (stop) may be selected.
Setting the PSRASY bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a
predictable prescaler.
16.10.1 GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 1 – PSRASY: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared
immediately by hardware. If the bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in asynchronous
mode, the bit will remain one until the prescaler has been reset. The bit will not be cleared by
hardware if the TSM bit is set. Refer to the description of the Section “GTCCR – General
Timer/Counter Control Register” on page 97 for a description of the Timer/Counter Synchronization

17. Output Compare Modulator (OCM1C0A)
17.1 Overview
The Output Compare Modulator (OCM) allows generation of waveforms modulated with a carrier
frequency. The modulator uses the outputs from the Output Compare Unit C of the 16-bit
Timer/Counter1 and the Output Compare Unit of the 8-bit Timer/Counter0. For more details
about these Timer/Counters see “Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter3 prescalers”
on page 96 and “8-bit Timer/Counter2 with PWM and asynchronous operation” on page
145.
Figure 17-1. Output Compare Modulator, block diagram.
When the modulator is enabled, the two output compare channels are modulated together as
shown in the block diagram (Figure 17-1).
17.2 Description
The Output Compare unit 1C and Output Compare unit 2 shares the PB7 port pin for output. The
outputs of the Output Compare units (OC1C and OC0A) overrides the normal PORTB7 Register
when one of them is enabled (that is, when COMnx1:0 is not equal to zero). When both OC1C
and OC0A are enabled at the same time, the modulator is automatically enabled.
The functional equivalent schematic of the modulator is shown on Figure 17-2. The schematic
includes part of the Timer/Counter units and the port B pin 7 output driver circuit.

When the modulator is enabled the type of modulation (logical AND or OR) can be selected by
the PORTB7 Register. Note that the DDRB7 controls the direction of the port independent of the
COMnx1:0 bit setting.
17.2.1 Timing example
Figure 17-3 illustrates the modulator in action. In this example the Timer/Counter1 is set to operate
in fast PWM mode (non-inverted) and Timer/Counter0 uses CTC waveform mode with toggle
Compare Output mode (COMnx1:0 = 1).
Figure 17-3. Output Compare Modulator, timing diagram.
In this example, Timer/Counter2 provides the carrier, while the modulating signal is generated
by the Output Compare unit C of the Timer/Counter1.
The resolution of the PWM signal (OC1C) is reduced by the modulation. The reduction factor is
equal to the number of system clock cycles of one period of the carrier (OC0A). In this example
the resolution is reduced by a factor of two. The reason for the reduction is illustrated in Figure
17-3 at the second and third period of the PB7 output when PORTB7 equals zero. The period 2
high time is one cycle longer than the period 3 high time, but the result on the PB7 output is
equal in both periods.

18. SPI – Serial Peripheral Interface
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the
Atmel AT90USB64/128 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices. The
AT90USB64/128 SPI includes the following features:
• Full-duplex, three-wire synchronous data transfer
• Master or slave operation
• LSB first or MSB first data transfer
• Seven programmable bit rates
• End of transmission interrupt flag
• Write collision flag protection
• Wake-up from Idle mode
• Double speed (CK/2) Master SPI mode
USART can also be used in Master SPI mode, see “USART in SPI mode” on page 202.
The Power Reduction SPI bit, PRSPI, in “PRR0 – Power Reduction Register 0” on page 54 must
be written to zero to enable SPI module.
Figure 18-1. SPI block diagram (1).
Note: 1. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 3, and Table 11-6 on page 79 for SPI pin placement.
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 18-2 on page
169. The system consists of two shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Master
initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the desired Slave. SPI2X SPI2X
DIVIDER
/2/4/8/16/32/64/128169
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift Registers, and the Master
generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted
from Master to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the
Master In – Slave Out, MISO, line. After each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave
by pulling high the Slave Select, SS, line.
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This
must be handled by user software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a
byte to the SPI Data Register starts the SPI clock generator, and the hardware shifts the eight
bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting the end of
Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR Register is set, an
interrupt is requested. The Master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or
signal the end of packet by pulling high the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be
kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long
as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI Data
Register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin
until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of Transmission
Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt
is requested. The Slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading
the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
Figure 18-2. SPI Master-slave interconnection.
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction.
This means that bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data Register before
the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, however, a received character must be
read from the SPI Data Register before the next character has been completely shifted in. Otherwise,
the first byte is lost.
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure
correct sampling of the clock signal, the frequency of the SPI clock should never exceed fosc/4.
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden
according to Table 18-1 on page 170. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to
“Alternate port functions” on page 76.

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Note: 1. See “Alternate functions of Port B” on page 79 for a detailed description of how to define the
direction of the user defined SPI pins.
The following code examples show how to initialize the SPI as a Master and how to perform a
simple transmission. DDR_SPI in the examples must be replaced by the actual Data Direction
Register controlling the SPI pins. DD_MOSI, DD_MISO and DD_SCK must be replaced by the
actual data direction bits for these pins. For example, if MOSI is placed on pin PB5, replace
DD_MOSI with DDB5 and DDR_SPI with DDRB.

The Receive Complete (RXCn) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer.
This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive
buffer is empty (that is, does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXENn =
0), the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXCn bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIEn) in UCSRnB is set, the USART Receive
Complete interrupt will be executed as long as the RXCn Flag is set (provided that global interrupts
are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete routine
must read the received data from UDRn in order to clear the RXCn Flag, otherwise a new interrupt
will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
19.6.4 Receiver error flags
The USART Receiver has three error flags: Frame Error (FEn), Data OverRun (DORn) and Parity
Error (UPEn). All can be accessed by reading UCSRnA. Common for the Error Flags is that
they are located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they indicate the error
status. Due to the buffering of the Error Flags, the UCSRnA must be read before the receive buffer
(UDRn), since reading the UDRn I/O location changes the buffer read location. Another
equality for the Error Flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to the flag
location. However, all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRnA is written for upward compatibility
of future USART implementations. None of the Error Flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FEn) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame
stored in the receive buffer. The FEn Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one),
and the FEn Flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for
detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling. The FEn
Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBSn bit in UCSRnC since the Receiver ignores all,
except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero
when writing to UCSRnA.
The Data OverRun (DORn) Flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. A
Data OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting
in the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DORn Flag is set there
was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from UDRn, and the next frame
read from UDRn. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing
to UCSRnA. The DORn Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from
the Shift Register to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received. If Parity Check is not enabled the UPEn bit will always be read zero. For
compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRnA. For more
details see “Parity bit calculation” on page 181 and “Parity Checker” on page 188.
19.6.5 Parity Checker
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPMn1) bit is set. Type of Parity
Check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPMn0 bit. When enabled, the Parity
Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with
the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is stored in the receive buffer together
with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag can then be read by software
to check if the frame had a Parity Error.189
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
The UPEn bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received and the Parity Checking was enabled at that point (UPMn1 = 1). This bit is
valid until the receive buffer (UDRn) is read.
19.6.6 Disabling the Receiver
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing
receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (that is, the RXENn is set to zero) the Receiver
will no longer override the normal function of the RxDn port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be
flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer will be lost
19.6.7 Flushing the receive buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, that is, the buffer will be
emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal
operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDRn I/O location until the RXCn Flag
is cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See “About code examples” on page 10.
19.7 Asynchronous data reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data
reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate
clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxDn pin. The data recovery logic samples
and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the
Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal
baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
19.7.1 Asynchronous clock recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 19-5
on page 190 illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample
rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double Speed
mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process.
Note the larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode (U2Xn = 1) of
operation. Samples denoted zero are samples done when the RxDn line is idle (that is, no communication
activity).

Figure 22-13. USB general and OTG controller interrupt system.
There are two kinds of interrupts: processing (that is, their generation are part of the normal processing)
and exception (errors).
Processing interrupts are generated when such events occur:
• USB ID Pad change detection (insert, remove)(IDTI)
• VBUS plug-in detection (insert, remove) (VBUSTI)
• SRP detected(SRPI)
• Role Exchanged(ROLEEXI)
Exception Interrupts are generated with the following events:
• Drop on VBus Detected(VBERRI)
• Error during the B-Connection(BCERRI)
• HNP Error(HNPERRI)
• Time-out detected during Suspend mode(STOII)
22.5 Power modes
22.5.1 Idle mode
In this mode, the CPU core is halted (CPU clock stopped). The Idle mode is taken wether the
USB controller is running or not. The CPU “wakes up” on any USB interrupts.
22.5.2 Power down
In this mode, the oscillator is stopped and halts all the clocks (CPU and peripherals). The USB
controller “wakes up” when:
• the WAKEUPI interrupt is triggered in the Peripheral mode (HOST cleared)

22.5.3 Freeze clock
The firmware has the ability to reduce the power consumption by setting the FRZCLK bit, which
freeze the clock of USB controller. When FRZCLK is set, it is still possible to access to the following
registers:
• USBCON, USBSTA, USBINT
• UDCON (detach, ...)
• UDINT
• UDIEN
• UHCON
• UHINT
• UHIEN
Moreover, when FRZCLK is set, only the following interrupts may be triggered:
• WAKEUPI
• IDTI
• VBUSTI
• HWUPI
22.6 Speed control
22.6.1 Device mode
When the USB interface is configured in device mode, the speed selection (Full Speed or Low
Speed) depends on the UDP/UDM pull-up. The LSM bit in UDCON register allows to select an
internal pull up on UDM (Low Speed mode) or UDP (Full Speed mode) data lines.

both UDP UDM lines and the interface detects the type of connected device.
22.7 Memory management
The controller does only support the following memory allocation management.
The reservation of a Pipe or an Endpoint can only be made in the increasing order (Pipe/Endpoint
0 to the last Pipe/Endpoint). The firmware shall thus configure them in the same order.
The reservation of a Pipe or an Endpoint “ki
” is done when its ALLOC bit is set. Then, the hardware
allocates the memory and inserts it between the Pipe/Endpoints “ki-1” and “ki+1”. The “ki+1”
Pipe/Endpoint memory “slides” up and its data is lost. Note that the “ki+2” and upper Pipe/Endpoint
memory does not slide.
Clearing a Pipe enable (PEN) or an Endpoint enable (EPEN) does not clear either its ALLOC bit,
or its configuration (EPSIZE/PSIZE, EPBK/PBK). To free its memory, the firmware should clear
ALLOC. Then, the “ki+1” Pipe/Endpoint memory automatically “slides” down. Note that the “ki+2”
and upper Pipe/Endpoint memory does not slide.
The following figure illustrates the allocation and reorganization of the USB memory in a typical
example:
Table 22-1. Allocation and reorganization USB memory flow.
• First, Pipe/Endpoint 0 to Pipe/Endpoint 5 are configured, in the growing order. The memory
of each is reserved in the DPRAM
• Then, the Pipe/Endpoint 3 is disabled (EPEN=0), but its memory reservation is internally kept
by the controller
• Its ALLOC bit is cleared: the Pipe/Endpoint 4 “slides” down, but the Pipe/Endpoint 5 does not
“slide”
• Finally, if the firmware chooses to reconfigure the Pipe/Endpoint 3, with a bigger size. The
controller reserved the memory after the endpoint 2 memory and automatically “slide” the
Pipe/Endpoint 4. The Pipe/Endpoint 5 does not move and a memory conflict appear, in that

both Pipe/Endpoint 4 and 5 use a common area. The data of those endpoints are potentially
lost
Note that:
• the data of Pipe/Endpoint 0 are never lost whatever the activation or deactivation of the
higher Pipe/Endpoint. Its data is lost if it is deactivated
• Deactivate and reactivate the same Pipe/Endpoint with the same parameters does not lead
to a “slide” of the higher endpoints. For those endpoints, the data are preserved
• CFGOK is set by hardware even in the case where there is a “conflict” in the memory
allocation
22.8 PAD suspend
The next figures illustrates the pad behaviour:
• In the “idle” mode, the pad is put in low power consumption mode
• In the “active” mode, the pad is working
Figure 22-15. Pad behaviour.
The SUSPI flag indicated that a suspend state has been detected on the USB bus. This flag
automatically put the USB pad in Idle. The detection of a non-idle event sets the WAKEUPI flag
and wakes-up the USB pad.
Moreover, the pad can also be put in the “idle” mode if the DETACH bit is set. It come back in
the active mode when the DETACH bit is cleared.

22.9 OTG timers customizing
It is possible to refine some OTG timers thanks to the OTGTCON register that contains the
PAGE bits to select the timer and the VALUE bits to adjust the value. User should refer to lastest
releases of the OTG specification to select compliant timings.
• PAGE=00b: AWaitVrise time-out. [OTG]. In Host mode, once VBUSREQ has been set to “1”,
if no VBUS is detected on VBUS pin after this AWaitVrise delay then the VBERRI error flag is
set.
– VALUE=00bTime-out is set to 20ms
– VALUE=01bTime-out is set to 50ms
– VALUE=10bTime-out is set to 70ms
– VALUE=11bTime-out is set to 100ms
• PAGE=01b: VbBusPulsing. [OTG]. In Device mode, this delay corresponds to the pulse
duration on Vbus during a SRP.
– VALUE=00bTime-out is set to 15ms
– VALUE=01bTime-out is set to 23ms
– VALUE=10bTime-out is set to 31ms
– VALUE=11bTime-out is set to 40ms
• PAGE=10b: PdTmOutCnt. [OTG]. In Device mode, when a SRP has been requested to be
sent by the firmware, this delay is waited by the hardware after VBUS has gone below the
“session_valid” threshold voltage and before initiating the first pulse. This delay should be
considered as an approximation of USB lines discharge (pull-down resistors vs. line
capacitance) in order to wait that VBUS has gone below the “b_session_end” threshold
voltae, as defined in the OTG specification.
– VALUE=00bTime-out is set to 93ms
– VALUE=01bTime-out is set to 105ms
– VALUE=10bTime-out is set to 118ms
– VALUE=11bTime-out is set to 131ms
• PAGE=11b: SRPDetTmOut. [OTG]. In Host mode, this delay is the minimum pulse duration
required to detect and accept a valid SRP from a Device.
– VALUE=00bTime-out is set to 1µs
– VALUE=01bTime-out is set to 100µs
– VALUE=10bTime-out is set to 1ms
– VALUE=11bTime-out is set to 11ms255

22.10 Plug-in detection
The USB connection is detected by the VBUS pad, thanks to the following architecture:
Figure 22-16. Plug-in detection input block diagram.
The control logic of the VBUS pad outputs a signal regarding the VBUS voltage level:
• The “Session_valid” signal is active high when the voltage on the VBUS pad is higher or
equal to 1.4V. If lower than 1.4V, the signal is not active
• The “Vbus_valid” signal is active high when the voltage on the VBUS pad is higher or equal to
4.4V. If lower than 4.4V, the signal is not active
• The VBUS status bit is set when VBUS is greater than “Vbus_valid”. The VBUS status bit is
cleared when VBUS falls below “Session_valid” (hysteresis behavior)
• The VBUSTI flag is set each time the VBUS bit state changes
22.10.1 Peripheral mode
The USB peripheral cannot attach to the bus while VBUS bit is not set.
22.10.2 Host mode
The Host must use the UVCON pin to drive an external power switch or regulator that powers
the Vbus line. The UVCON pin is automatically asserted and set high by hardware when
UVCONE and VBUSREQ bits are set by firmware.
If a device connects (pull-up on DP or DM) within 300ms of Vbus delivery, the DCONNI flag will
rise. But, once VBUSREQ bit has been set, if no peripheral connection is detected within 300ms,
the BCERRI flag (and interrupt) will rise and Vbus delivery will be stopped (UVCON cleared).
If that behavior represents a limitation for the Host application, the following work-around may be
used :
1. UVCONE and VBUSREQ must be cleared.
2. VBUSHWC must be set (to disable hardware control of UVCON pin).
3. PORTE,7 pin (alternate function of UVCON pin) must be set by firmware.
4. a device connection will be detected thanks to the SRPI flag (that may usually be used
to detect a DP/DM pulse sent by an OTG B-Device that requests a new session).

22.11 ID detection
The ID pin transition is detected thanks to the following architecture:
Figure 22-17. ID detection input block diagram.
The ID pin can be used to detect the USB mode (Peripheral or Host) or software selected. This
allows the UID pin to be used has general purpose I/O even when USB interface is enable.
When the UID pin is selected, by default, (no A-plug or B-plug), the macro is in the Peripheral
mode (internal pull-up). The IDTI interrupt is triggered when a A-plug (Host) is plugged or
unplugged. The interrupt is not triggered when a B-plug (Periph) is plugged or unplugged.
ID detection is independent of USB global interface enable.

23. USB device operating modes
23.1 Introduction
The USB device controller supports full speed and low speed data transfers. In addition to the
default control endpoint, it provides six other endpoints, which can be configured in control, bulk,
interrupt or isochronous modes:
• Endpoint 0:programmable size FIFO up to 64 bytes, default control endpoint
• Endpoints 1 programmable size FIFO up to 256 bytes in ping-pong mode
• Endpoints 2 to 6: programmable size FIFO up to 64 bytes in ping-pong mode
The controller starts in the “idle” mode. In this mode, the pad consumption is reduced to the
minimum.
23.2 Power-on and reset
The next diagram explains the USB device controller main states on power-on:
Figure 23-1. USB device controller states after reset.
The reset state of the Device controller is:
• the macro clock is stopped in order to minimize the power consumption (FRZCLK set)
• the USB device controller internal state is reset (all the registers are reset to their default
value. Note that DETACH is set.)
• the endpoint banks are reset
• the D+ or D- pull up are not activated (mode Detach)
The D+ or D- pull-up will be activated as soon as the DETACH bit is cleared and VBUS is
present.
The macro is in the ‘Idle’ state after reset with a minimum power consumption and does not
need to have the PLL activated to enter in this state.
The USB device controller can at any time be reset by clearing USBE (disable USB interface).
23.3 Endpoint reset
An endpoint can be reset at any time by setting in the UERST register the bit corresponding to
the endpoint (EPRSTx). This resets:
• the internal state machine on that endpoint
• the Rx and Tx banks are cleared and their internal pointers are restored

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
• the UEINTX, UESTA0X and UESTA1X are restored to their reset value
The data toggle field remains unchanged.
The other registers remain unchanged.
The endpoint configuration remains active and the endpoint is still enabled.
The endpoint reset may be associated with a clear of the data toggle command (RSTDT bit) as
an answer to the CLEAR_FEATURE USB command.
23.4 USB reset
When an USB reset is detected on the USB line, the next operations are performed by the
controller:
• all the endpoints are disabled
• the default control endpoint remains configured (see Section 23.3, page 262 for more details)
23.5 Endpoint selection
Prior to any operation performed by the CPU, the endpoint must first be selected. This is done
by setting the EPNUM2:0 bits (UENUM register) with the endpoint number which will be managed
by the CPU.
The CPU can then access to the various endpoint registers and data.
23.6 Endpoint activation
The endpoint is maintained under reset as long as the EPEN bit is not set.
The following flow must be respected in order to activate an endpoint:264
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 23-2. Endpoint activation flow.
As long as the endpoint is not correctly configured (CFGOK cleared), the hardware does not
acknowledge the packets sent by the host.
CFGOK is will not be sent if the Endpoint size parameter is bigger than the DPRAM size.
A clear of EPEN acts as an endpoint reset (see Section 23.3, page 262 for more details). It also
performs the next operation:
• The configuration of the endpoint is kept (EPSIZE, EPBK, ALLOC kept)
• It resets the data toggle field
• The DPRAM memory associated to the endpoint is still reserved
See Section 22.7, page 252 for more details about the memory allocation/reorganization.
23.7 Address setup
The USB device address is set up according to the USB protocol:
• the USB device, after power-up, responds at address 0
• the host sends a SETUP command (SET_ADDRESS(addr))
• the firmware records that address in UADD, but keep ADDEN cleared
• the USB device sends an IN command of 0 bytes (IN 0 Zero Length Packet)
• then, the firmware can enable the USB device address by setting ADDEN. The only accepted
address by the controller is the one stored in UADD
ADDEN and UADD shall not be written at the same time.
UADD contains the default address 00h after a power-up or USB reset.

ADDEN is cleared by hardware:
• after a power-up reset
• when an USB reset is received
• or when the macro is disabled (USBE cleared)
When this bit is cleared, the default device address 00h is used.
23.8 Suspend, wake-up and resume
After a period of 3ms during which the USB line was inactive, the controller switches to the fullspeed
mode and triggers (if enabled) the SUSPI (suspend) interrupt. The firmware may then set
the FRZCLK bit.
The CPU can also, depending on software architecture, enter in the idle mode to lower again the
power consumption.
There are two ways to recover from the “Suspend” mode:
• First one is to clear the FRZCLK bit. This is possible if the CPU is not in the Idle mode
• Second way, if the CPU is “idle”, is to enable the WAKEUPI interrupt (WAKEUPE set). Then,
as soon as an non-idle signal is seen by the controller, the WAKEUPI interrupt is triggered.
The firmware shall then clear the FRZCLK bit to restart the transfer
There are no relationship between the SUSPI interrupt and the WAKEUPI interrupt: the WAKEUPI
interrupt is triggered as soon as there are non-idle patterns on the data lines. Thus, the
WAKEUPI interrupt can occurs even if the controller is not in the “suspend” mode.
When the WAKEUPI interrupt is triggered, if the SUSPI interrupt bit was already set, it is cleared
by hardware.
When the SUSPI interrupt is triggered, if the WAKEUPI interrupt bit was already set, it is cleared
by hardware.
23.9 Detach
The reset value of the DETACH bit is 1.
It is possible to re-enumerate a device, simply by setting and clearing the DETACH bit.
• Setting DETACH will disconnect the pull-up on the D+ or D- pad (depending on full or low
speed mode selected). Then, clearing DETACH will connect the pull-up on the D+ or D- pad

23.10 Remote Wake-up
The “Remote Wake-up” (or “upstream resume”) request is the only operation allowed to be sent
by the device on its own initiative. Anyway, to do that, the device should first have received a
DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKEUP request from the host.
• First, the USB controller must have detected the “suspend” state of the line: the remote wakeup
can only be sent when a SUSPI flag is set
• The firmware has then the ability to set RMWKUP to send the “upstream resume” stream.
This will automatically be done by the controller after 5ms of inactivity on the USB line
• When the controller starts to send the “upstream resume”, the UPRSMI interrupt is triggered
(if enabled). SUSPI is cleared by hardware
• RMWKUP is cleared by hardware at the end of the “upstream resume”
• If the controller detects a good “End Of Resume” signal from the host, an EORSMI interrupt
is triggered (if enabled)
23.11 STALL request
For each endpoint, the STALL management is performed using two bits:
– STALLRQ (enable stall request)
– STALLRQC (disable stall request)
– STALLEDI (stall sent interrupt)
To send a STALL handshake at the next request, the STALLRQ request bit has to be set. All following
requests will be handshak’ed with a STALL until the STALLRQC bit is set.
Setting STALLRQC automatically clears the STALLRQ bit. The STALLRQC bit is also immediately
cleared by hardware after being set by software. Thus, the firmware will never read this bit
as set.
Each time the STALL handshake is sent, the STALLEDI flag is set by the USB controller and the
EPINTx interrupt will be triggered (if enabled).
The incoming packets will be discarded (RXOUTI and RWAL will not be set).
The host will then send a command to reset the STALL: the firmware just has to set the STALLRQC
bit and to reset the endpoint.
23.11.1 Special consideration for control endpoints
A SETUP request is always ACK’ed.
If a STALL request is set for a Control Endpoint and if a SETUP request occurs, the SETUP
request has to be ACK’ed and the STALLRQ request and STALLEDI sent flags are automatically
reset (RXSETUPI set, TXIN cleared, STALLED cleared, TXINI cleared...).
This management simplifies the enumeration process management. If a command is not supported
or contains an error, the firmware set the STALL request flag and can return to the main
task, waiting for the next SETUP request.
This function is compliant with the Chapter 8 test that may send extra status for a
GET_DESCRIPTOR. The firmware sets the STALL request just after receiving the status. All
extra status will be automatically STALL’ed until the next SETUP request.267

AT90USB64/128
23.11.2 STALL handshake and retry mechanism
The Retry mechanism has priority over the STALL handshake. A STALL handshake is sent if the
STALLRQ request bit is set and if there is no retry required.
23.12 CONTROL endpoint management
A SETUP request is always ACK’ed. When a new setup packet is received, the RXSTPI interrupt
is triggered (if enabled). The RXOUTI interrupt is not triggered.
The FIFOCON and RWAL fields are irrelevant with CONTROL endpoints. The firmware shall
thus never use them on that endpoints. When read, their value is always 0.
CONTROL endpoints are managed by the following bits:
• RXSTPI is set when a new SETUP is received. It shall be cleared by firmware to
acknowledge the packet and to clear the endpoint bank
• RXOUTI is set when a new OUT data is received. It shall be cleared by firmware to
acknowledge the packet and to clear the endpoint bank
• TXINI is set when the bank is ready to accept a new IN packet. It shall be cleared by firmware
to send the packet and to clear the endpoint bank
23.12.1 Control write
Figure 23-4 shows a control write transaction. During the status stage, the controller will not necessary
send a NAK at the first IN token:
• If the firmware knows the exact number of descriptor bytes that must be read, it can then
anticipate on the status stage and send a ZLP for the next IN token
• or it can read the bytes and poll NAKINI, which tells that all the bytes have been sent by the
host, and the transaction is now in the status stage
Figure 23-4. Control write transaction.
23.12.2 Control read
Figure 23-5 on page 268 shows a control read transaction. The USB controller has to manage
the simultaneous write requests from the CPU and the USB host.

Figure 23-5. Control read transaction.
A NAK handshake is always generated at the first status stage command.
When the controller detect the status stage, all the data writen by the CPU are erased, and
clearing TXINI has no effects.
The firmware checks if the transmission is complete or if the reception is complete.
The OUT retry is always ack’ed. This reception:
- set the RXOUTI flag (received OUT data)
- set the TXINI flag (data sent, ready to accept new data)
software algorithm:
set transmit ready
wait (transmit complete OR Receive complete)
if receive complete, clear flag and return
if transmit complete, continue
Once the OUT status stage has been received, the USB controller waits for a SETUP request.
The SETUP request have priority over any other request and has to be ACK’ed. This means that
any other flag should be cleared and the fifo reset when a SETUP is received.
WARNING: the byte counter is reset when the OUT Zero Length Packet is received. The firmware
has to take care of this.
23.13 OUT endpoint management
OUT packets are sent by the host. All the data can be read by the CPU, which acknowledges or
not the bank when it is empty.
23.13.1 Overview
The Endpoint must be configured first.
Each time the current bank is full, the RXOUTI and the FIFOCON bits are set. This triggers an
interrupt if the RXOUTE bit is set. The firmware can acknowledge the USB interrupt by clearing
the RXOUTI bit. The Firmware read the data and clear the FIFOCON bit in order to free the current
bank. If the OUT Endpoint is composed of multiple banks, clearing the FIFOCON bit will
switch to the next bank. The RXOUTI and FIFOCON bits are then updated by hardware in accordance
with the status of the new bank.

The RWAL bit always reflects the state of the current bank. This bit is set if the firmware can
read data from the bank, and cleared by hardware when the bank is empty.
Figure 23-6. Example with 1 and 2 OUT data bank.
23.13.2 Detailed description
The data are read by the CPU, following the next flow:
• When the bank is filled by the host, an endpoint interrupt (EPINTx) is triggered, if enabled
(RXOUTE set) and RXOUTI is set. The CPU can also poll RXOUTI or FIFOCON, depending
on the software architecture
• The CPU acknowledges the interrupt by clearing RXOUTI
• The CPU can read the number of byte (N) in the current bank (N=BYCT)
• The CPU can read the data from the current bank (“N” read of UEDATX)
• The CPU can free the bank by clearing FIFOCON when all the data is read, that is:
– after “N” read of UEDATX
– as soon as RWAL is cleared by hardware
If the endpoint uses two banks, the second one can be filled by the HOST while the current one
is being read by the CPU. Then, when the CPU clear FIFOCON, the next bank may be already
ready and RXOUTI is set immediately.
23.14 IN endpoint management
IN packets are sent by the USB device controller, upon an IN request from the host. All the data
can be written by the CPU, which acknowledge or not the bank when it is full.

23.14.1 Overview
The Endpoint must be configured first.
The TXINI bit is set by hardware when the current bank becomes free. This triggers an interrupt
if the TXINE bit is set. The FIFOCON bit is set at the same time. The CPU writes into the FIFO
and clears the FIFOCON bit to allow the USB controller to send the data. If the IN Endpoint is
composed of multiple banks, this also switches to the next data bank. The TXINI and FIFOCON
bits are automatically updated by hardware regarding the status of the next bank.
TXINI shall always be cleared before clearing FIFOCON.
The RWAL bit always reflects the state of the current bank. This bit is set if the firmware can
write data to the bank, and cleared by hardware when the bank is full.
Figure 23-7. Example with 1 and 2 IN data bank.
23.14.2 Detailed description
The data are written by the CPU, following the next flow:
• When the bank is empty, an endpoint interrupt (EPINTx) is triggered, if enabled (TXINE set)
and TXINI is set. The CPU can also poll TXINI or FIFOCON, depending the software
architecture choice
• The CPU acknowledges the interrupt by clearing TXINI
• The CPU can write the data into the current bank (write in UEDATX)
• The CPU can free the bank by clearing FIFOCON when all the data are written, that is:
– after “N” write into UEDATX
– as soon as RWAL is cleared by hardware

If the endpoint uses two banks, the second one can be read by the HOST while the current is
being written by the CPU. Then, when the CPU clears FIFOCON, the next bank may be already
ready (free) and TXINI is set immediately.
23.14.2.1 Abort
An “abort” stage can be produced by the host in some situations:
• In a control transaction: ZLP data OUT received during a IN stage
• In an isochronous IN transaction: ZLP data OUT received on the OUT endpoint during a IN
stage on the IN endpoint
• ...
The KILLBK bit is used to kill the last “written” bank. The best way to manage this abort is to perform
the following operations:
Table 23-1. Abort flow.
23.15 Isochronous mode
23.15.1 Underflow
An underflow can occur during IN stage if the host attempts to read a bank which is empty. In
this situation, the UNDERFI interrupt is triggered.
An underflow can also occur during OUT stage if the host send a packet while the banks are
already full. Typically, he CPU is not fast enough. The packet is lost.
It is not possible to have underflow error during OUT stage, in the CPU side, since the CPU
should read only if the bank is ready to give data (RXOUTI=1 or RWAL=1)
23.15.2 CRC error
A CRC error can occur during OUT stage if the USB controller detects a bad received packet. In
this situation, the STALLEDI interrupt is triggered. This does not prevent the RXOUTI interrupt
from being triggered.

23.16 Overflow
In Control, Isochronous, Bulk or Interrupt Endpoint, an overflow can occur during OUT stage, if
the host attempts to write in a bank that is too small for the packet. In this situation, the OVERFI
interrupt is triggered (if enabled). The packet is acknowledged and the RXOUTI interrupt is also
triggered (if enabled). The bank is filled with the first bytes of the packet.
It is not possible to have overflow error during IN stage, in the CPU side, since the CPU should
write only if the bank is ready to access data (TXINI=1 or RWAL=1).
23.17 Interrupts
Figure 23-8 shows all the interrupts sources.
Figure 23-8. USB device controller interrupt system.
There are two kinds of interrupts: processing (that is, their generation are part of the normal processing)
and exception (errors).
Processing interrupts are generated when:
• VBUS plug-in detection (insert, remove)(VBUSTI)
• Upstream resume(UPRSMI)
• End of resume(EORSMI)
• Wake up(WAKEUPI)
• End of reset (Speed Initialization)(EORSTI)
• Start of frame(SOFI, if FNCERR=0)
• Suspend detected after 3ms of inactivity(SUSPI)
Exception Interrupts are generated when:
• CRC error in frame number of SOF(SOFI, FNCERR=1)

24. USB host operating modes
This mode is available only on Atmel AT90USB647/1287 products.
24.1 Pipe description
For the USB Host controller, the term of Pipe is used instead of Endpoint for the USB Device
controller. A Host Pipe corresponds to a Device Endpoint, as described in the USB specification.
Figure 24-1. Pipes and endpoints in a USB system.
In the USB Host controller, a Pipe will be associated to a Device Endpoint, considering the
Device Configuration Descriptors.
24.2 Detach
The reset value of the DETACH bit is 1. Thus, the firmware has the responsibility of clearing this
bit before switching to the Host mode (HOST set).
24.3 Power-on and reset
Figure 24-2 explains the USB host controller main states on power-on.

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
USB host controller state after an hardware reset is ‘Reset’. When the USB controller is enabled
and the USB Host controller is selected, the USB controller is in ‘Idle’ state. In this state, the
USB Host controller waits for the Device connection, with a minimum power consumption.
The USB Pad should be in Idle mode. The macro does not need to have the PLL activated to
enter in ‘Host Ready’ state.
The Host controller enters in Suspend state when the USB bus is in Suspend state, that is, when
the Host controller doesn’t generate the Start of Frame. In this state, the USB consumption is
minimum. The Host controller exits to the Suspend state when starting to generate the SOF over
the USB line.
24.4 Device detection
A Device is detected by the USB controller when the USB bus if different from D+ and D- low. In
other words, when the USB Host Controller detects the Device pull-up on the D+ line. To enable
this detection, the Host Controller has to provide the Vbus power supply to the Device.
The Device Disconnection is detected by the USB Host controller when the USB Idle correspond
to D+ and D- low on the USB line.
24.5 Pipe selection
Prior to any operation performed by the CPU, the Pipe must first be selected. This is done by
setting PNUM2:0 bits (UPNUM register) with the Pipe number which will be managed by the
CPU.
The CPU can then access to the various Pipe registers and data.
24.6 Pipe configuration
The following flow (see Figure 24-3 on page 287) must be respected in order to activate a Pipe.287
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 24-3. Pipe activation flow.
Once the Pipe is activated (EPEN set) and, the hardware is ready to send requests to the
Device.
When configured (CFGOK = 1), only the Pipe Token (PTOKEN) and the polling interval for Interrupt
pipe can be modified.
A Control type pipe supports only one bank. Any other value will lead to a configuration error
(CFGOK = 0).
A clear of PEN will reset the configuration of the Pipe. All the corresponding Pipe registers are
reset to there reset values. Please refer to “Memory management” on page 252 for more details.
Note: The firmware has to configure the Default Control Pipe with the following parameters:
• Type: Control
• Token: SETUP
• Data bank: 1
• Size: 64 Bytes
The firmware asks for eight bytes of the Device Descriptor sending a GET_DESCRIPTOR
request. These bytes contains the MaxPacketSize of the Device default control endpoint and the
firmware re-configures the size of the Default Control Pipe with this size parameter.

7593L–AVR–09/12

24.7 USB reset
The USB controller sends a USB Reset when the firmware set the RESET bit. The RSTI bit is
set by hardware when the USB Reset has been sent. This triggers an interrupt if the RSTE has
been set.
When a USB Reset has been sent, all the Pipe configuration and the memory allocation are
reset. The General Host interrupt enable register is left unchanged.
If the bus was previously in suspend mode (SOFEN = 0), the USB controller automatically
switches to the resume mode (HWUPI is set) and the SOFEN bit is set by hardware in order to
generate SOF immediately after the USB Reset.
24.8 Address setup
Once the Device has answer to the first Host requests with the default address (0), the Host
assigns a new address to the device. The Host controller has to send a USB reset to the device
and perform a SET ADDRESS control request, with the new address to be used by the Device.
This control request ended, the firmware write the new address into the UHADDR register. All
following requests, on every Pipes, will be performed using this new address.
When the Host controller send a USB reset, the UHADDR register is reset by hardware and the
following Host requests will be performed using the default address (0).
24.9 Remote wake-up detection
The Host Controller enters in Suspend mode when clearing the SOFEN bit. No more Start Of
Frame is sent on the USB bus and the USB Device enters in Suspend mode 3ms later.
The Device awakes the Host Controller by sending an Upstream Resume (Remote Wake-Up
feature). The Host Controller detects a non-idle state on the USB bus and set the HWUPI bit. If
the non-Idle correspond to an Upstream Resume (K state), the RXRSMI bit is set by hardware.
The firmware has to generate a downstream resume within 1ms and for at least 20ms by setting
the RESUME bit.
Once the downstream Resume has been generated, the SOFEN bit is automatically set by hardware
in order to generate SOF immediately after the USB resume.
24.10 USB pipe reset
The firmware can reset a Pipe using the pipe reset register. The configuration of the pipe and
the data toggle remains unchanged. Only the bank management and the status bits are reset to
their initial values.
To completely reset a Pipe, the firmware has to disable and then enable the pipe.
24.11 Pipe data access
In order to read or to write into the Pipe Fifo, the CPU selects the Pipe number with the UPNUM
register and performs read or write action on the UPDATX register.

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
24.12 Control pipe management
A Control transaction is composed of three phases:
• SETUP
• Data (IN or OUT)
• Status (OUT or IN)
The firmware has to change the Token for each phase.
The initial data toggle is set for the corresponding token (ONLY for Control Pipe):
• SETUP: Data0
• OUT: Data1
• IN: Data1 (expected data toggle)
24.13 OUT pipe management
The Pipe must be configured and not frozen first.
Note: if the firmware decides to switch to suspend mode (clear SOFEN) even if a bank is ready
to be sent, the USB controller will automatically exit from Suspend mode and the bank will be
sent.
The TXOUT bit is set by hardware when the current bank becomes free. This triggers an interrupt
if the TXOUTE bit is set. The FIFOCON bit is set at the same time. The CPU writes into the
FIFO and clears the FIFOCON bit to allow the USB controller to send the data.
If the OUT Pipe is composed of multiple banks, this also switches to the next data bank. The
TXOUT and FIFOCON bits are automatically updated by hardware regarding the status of the
next bank.290
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 24-4. Example with OUT data banks.
24.14 IN Pipe management
The Pipe must be configured first.
When the Host requires data from the device, the firmware has to determine first the IN mode to
use using the INMODE bit:
• INMODE = 0. The INRQX register is taken in account. The Host controller will perform
(INRQX+1) IN requests on the selected Pipe before freezing the Pipe. This mode avoids to
have extra IN requests on a Pipe
• INMODE = 1. The USB controller will perform infinite IN request until the firmware freezes the
Pipe
The IN request generation will start when the firmware clear the PFREEZE bit.
Each time the current bank is full, the RXIN and the FIFOCON bits are set. This triggers an interrupt
if the RXINE bit is set. The firmware can acknowledge the USB interrupt by clearing the
RXIN bit. The Firmware read the data and clear the FIFOCON bit in order to free the current

bank. If the IN Pipe is composed of multiple banks, clearing the FIFOCON bit will switch to the
next bank. The RXIN and FIFOCON bits are then updated by hardware in accordance with the
status of the new bank.
Figure 24-5. Example with IN data banks.
24.14.1 CRC error (isochronous only)
A CRC error can occur during IN stage if the USB controller detects a bad received packet. In
this situation, the STALLEDI/CRCERRI interrupt is triggered. This does not prevent the RXINI
interrupt from being triggered.

25. Analog Comparator
The Analog Comparator compares the input values on the positive pin AIN0 and negative pin
AIN1. When the voltage on the positive pin AIN0 is higher than the voltage on the negative pin
AIN1, the Analog Comparator output, ACO, is set. The comparator’s output can be set to trigger
the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture function. In addition, the comparator can trigger a separate
interrupt, exclusive to the Analog Comparator. The user can select Interrupt triggering on comparator
output rise, fall or toggle. A block diagram of the comparator and its surrounding logic is
shown in Figure 25-1.
The Power Reduction ADC bit, PRADC, in “PRR0 – Power Reduction Register 0” on page 54
must be disabled by writing a logical zero to be able to use the ADC input MUX.

• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the Analog Comparator is switched off. This bit
can be set at any time to turn off the Analog Comparator. This will reduce power consumption in
Active and Idle mode. When changing the ACD bit, the Analog Comparator Interrupt must be
disabled by clearing the ACIE bit in ACSR. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the bit is
changed.
• Bit 6 – ACBG: Analog Comparator Bandgap Select
When this bit is set, a fixed bandgap reference voltage replaces the positive input to the Analog
Comparator. When this bit is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the positive input of the Analog Comparator.
See “Internal voltage reference” on page 62.
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output
The output of the Analog Comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to ACO. The
synchronization introduces a delay of 1 - 2 clock cycles.
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag
This bit is set by hardware when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode defined
by ACIS1 and ACIS0. The Analog Comparator interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE bit is set
and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt
handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Analog Comparator
interrupt is activated. When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When written logic one, this bit enables the input capture function in Timer/Counter1 to be triggered
by the Analog Comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly connected to the
input capture front-end logic, making the comparator utilize the noise canceler and edge select
features of the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture interrupt. When written logic zero, no connection
between the Analog Comparator and the input capture function exists. To make the comparator
trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture interrupt, the ICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask
Register (TIMSK1) must be set.
• Bits 1, 0 – ACIS1, ACIS0: Analog Comparator Interrupt Mode Select
These bits determine which comparator events that trigger the Analog Comparator interrupt. The
different settings are shown in Table 25-1.
When changing the ACIS1/ACIS0 bits, the Analog Comparator Interrupt must be disabled by
clearing its Interrupt Enable bit in the ACSR Register. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the
bits are changed.

25.1 Analog Comparator multiplexed input
It is possible to select any of the ADC7..0 pins to replace the negative input to the Analog Comparator.
The ADC multiplexer is used to select this input, and consequently, the ADC must be
switched off to utilize this feature. If the Analog Comparator Multiplexer Enable bit (ACME in
ADCSRB) is set and the ADC is switched off (ADEN in ADCSRA is zero), and MUX2..0 in
ADMUX select the input pin to replace the negative input to the Analog Comparator, as shown in
Table 25-2. If ACME is cleared or ADEN is set, AIN1 is applied to the negative input to the Analog
Comparator.

26.2 Overview
The Atmel AT90USB64/128 features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected
to an 8-channel Analog Multiplexer which allows eight single-ended voltage inputs
constructed from the pins of Port F. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND).
The device also supports 16 differential voltage input combinations. Two of the differential inputs
(ADC1, ADC0 and ADC3, ADC2) are equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing
amplification steps of 0 dB (1×), 20 dB (10×), or 46 dB (200×) on the differential input voltage
before the A/D conversion. Seven differential analog input channels share a common negative
terminal (ADC1), while any other ADC input can be selected as the positive input terminal. If 1×
or 10× gain is used, 8-bit resolution can be expected. If 200× gain is used, 7-bit resolution can
be expected.
The ADC contains a Sample and Hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is
held at a constant level during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown in Figure 26-1
on page 308.
The ADC has a separate analog supply voltage pin, AVCC. AVCC must not differ more than ±0.3V
from VCC. See the paragraph “ADC noise canceler” on page 314 on how to connect this pin.
Internal reference voltages of nominally 2.56V or AVCC are provided on-chip. The voltage reference
may be externally decoupled at the AREF pin by a capacitor for better noise performance.308

26.3 Operation
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approximation.
The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on
the AREF pin minus 1 LSB. Optionally, AVCC or an internal 2.56V reference voltage may be connected
to the AREF pin by writing to the REFSn bits in the ADMUX Register. The internal
voltage reference may thus be decoupled by an external capacitor at the AREF pin to improve
noise immunity.
The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX bits in
ADMUX. Any of the ADC input pins, as well as GND and a fixed bandgap voltage reference, can
be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. A selection of ADC input pins can be selected as
positive and negative inputs to the differential amplifier.
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA. Voltage reference and
input channel selections will not go into effect until ADEN is set. The ADC does not consume
power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to switch off the ADC before entering power
saving sleep modes.
The ADC generates a 10-bit result which is presented in the ADC Data Registers, ADCH and
ADCL. By default, the result is presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left
adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADMUX.
If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read
ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then ADCH, to ensure that the content of the Data
Registers belongs to the same conversion. Once ADCL is read, ADC access to Data Registers
is blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is
read, neither register is updated and the result from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read,
ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL Registers is re-enabled.
The ADC has its own interrupt which can be triggered when a conversion completes. The ADC
access to the Data Registers is prohibited between reading of ADCH and ADCL, the interrupt
will trigger even if the result is lost.
26.4 Starting a conversion
A single conversion is started by writing a logical one to the ADC Start Conversion bit, ADSC.
This bit stays high as long as the conversion is in progress and will be cleared by hardware
when the conversion is completed. If a different data channel is selected while a conversion is in
progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion before performing the channel change.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered automatically by various sources. Auto Triggering is
enabled by setting the ADC Auto Trigger Enable bit, ADATE in ADCSRA. The trigger source is
selected by setting the ADC Trigger Select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB (See description of the ADTS
bits for a list of the trigger sources). When a positive edge occurs on the selected trigger signal,
the ADC prescaler is reset and a conversion is started. This provides a method of starting conversions
at fixed intervals. If the trigger signal is still set when the conversion completes, a new
conversion will not be started. If another positive edge occurs on the trigger signal during conversion,
the edge will be ignored. Note that an interrupt flag will be set even if the specific
interrupt is disabled or the Global Interrupt Enable bit in SREG is cleared. A conversion can thus
be triggered without causing an interrupt. However, the interrupt flag must be cleared in order to
trigger a new conversion at the next interrupt event. 310
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Figure 26-2. ADC auto trigger logic.
Using the ADC Interrupt Flag as a trigger source makes the ADC start a new conversion as soon
as the ongoing conversion has finished. The ADC then operates in Free Running mode, constantly
sampling and updating the ADC Data Register. The first conversion must be started by
writing a logical one to the ADSC bit in ADCSRA. In this mode the ADC will perform successive
conversions independently of whether the ADC Interrupt Flag, ADIF is cleared or not.
If Auto Triggering is enabled, single conversions can be started by writing ADSC in ADCSRA to
one. ADSC can also be used to determine if a conversion is in progress. The ADSC bit will be
read as one during a conversion, independently of how the conversion was started.

By default, the successive approximation circuitry requires an input clock frequency between
50kHz and 200kHz to get maximum resolution. If a lower resolution than 10 bits is needed, the
input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than 200kHz to get a higher sample rate. Alternatively,
setting the ADHSM bit in ADCSRB allows an increased ADC clock frequency at the
expense of higher power consumption.
The ADC module contains a prescaler, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency
from any CPU frequency above 100kHz. The prescaling is set by the ADPS bits in ADCSRA.
The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched on by setting the ADEN bit

in ADCSRA. The prescaler keeps running for as long as the ADEN bit is set, and is continuously
reset when ADEN is low.
When initiating a single ended conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSRA, the conversion
starts at the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle. See “Differential channels” on page
312 for details on differential conversion timing.
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is switched
on (ADEN in ADCSRA is set) takes 25 ADC clock cycles in order to initialize the analog circuitry.
The actual sample-and-hold takes place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of a normal conversion
and 13.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of an first conversion. When a conversion is
complete, the result is written to the ADC Data Registers, and ADIF is set. In Single Conversion
mode, ADSC is cleared simultaneously. The software may then set ADSC again, and a new
conversion will be initiated on the first rising ADC clock edge.
When Auto Triggering is used, the prescaler is reset when the trigger event occurs. This assures
a fixed delay from the trigger event to the start of conversion. In this mode, the sample-and-hold
takes place two ADC clock cycles after the rising edge on the trigger source signal. Three additional
CPU clock cycles are used for synchronization logic.
In Free Running mode, a new conversion will be started immediately after the conversion completes,
while ADSC remains high. For a summary of conversion times, see Table 26-1 on page
312.

26.5.1 Differential channels
When using differential channels, certain aspects of the conversion need to be taken into
consideration.
Differential conversions are synchronized to the internal clock CKADC2 equal to half the ADC
clock frequency. This synchronization is done automatically by the ADC interface in such a way
that the sample-and-hold occurs at a specific phase of CKADC2. A conversion initiated by the
user (that is, all single conversions, and the first free running conversion) when CKADC2 is low will
take the same amount of time as a single ended conversion (13 ADC clock cycles from the next
prescaled clock cycle). A conversion initiated by the user when CKADC2 is high will take 14 ADC
clock cycles due to the synchronization mechanism. In Free Running mode, a new conversion is
initiated immediately after the previous conversion completes, and since CKADC2 is high at this
time, all automatically started (that is, all but the first) Free Running conversions will take 14
ADC clock cycles.

If differential channels are used and conversions are started by Auto Triggering, the ADC must
be switched off between conversions. When Auto Triggering is used, the ADC prescaler is reset
before the conversion is started. Since the stage is dependent of a stable ADC clock prior to the
conversion, this conversion will not be valid. By disabling and then re-enabling the ADC between
each conversion (writing ADEN in ADCSRA to “0” then to “1”), only extended conversions are
performed. The result from the extended conversions will be valid. See “Prescaling and conversion
timing” on page 310 for timing details.
The gain stage is optimized for a bandwidth of 4kHz at all gain settings. Higher frequencies may
be subjected to non-linear amplification. An external low-pass filter should be used if the input
signal contains higher frequency components than the gain stage bandwidth. Note that the ADC
clock frequency is independent of the gain stage bandwidth limitation. For example, the ADC
clock period may be 6µs, allowing a channel to be sampled at 12ksps, regardless of the bandwidth
of this channel.
26.6 Changing channel or reference selection
The MUXn and REFS1:0 bits in the ADMUX Register are single buffered through a temporary
register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the channels and reference
selection only takes place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and reference
selection is continuously updated until a conversion is started. Once the conversion starts, the
channel and reference selection is locked to ensure a sufficient sampling time for the ADC. Continuous
updating resumes in the last ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (ADIF in
ADCSRA is set). Note that the conversion starts on the following rising ADC clock edge after
ADSC is written. The user is thus advised not to write new channel or reference selection values
to ADMUX until one ADC clock cycle after ADSC is written.
If Auto Triggering is used, the exact time of the triggering event can be indeterministic. Special
care must be taken when updating the ADMUX Register, in order to control which conversion
will be affected by the new settings.
If both ADATE and ADEN is written to one, an interrupt event can occur at any time. If the
ADMUX Register is changed in this period, the user cannot tell if the next conversion is based
on the old or the new settings. ADMUX can be safely updated in the following ways:
a. When ADATE or ADEN is cleared.
b. During conversion, minimum one ADC clock cycle after the trigger event.
c. After a conversion, before the interrupt flag used as trigger source is cleared.
When updating ADMUX in one of these conditions, the new settings will affect the next ADC
conversion.
Special care should be taken when changing differential channels. Once a differential channel
has been selected, the stage may take as much as 125µs to stabilize to the new value. Thus
conversions should not be started within the first 125µs after selecting a new differential channel.
Alternatively, conversion results obtained within this period should be discarded.
The same settling time should be observed for the first differential conversion after changing
ADC reference (by changing the REFS1:0 bits in ADMUX).
The settling time and gain stage bandwidth is independent of the ADHSM bit setting.314
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
26.6.1 ADC input channels
When changing channel selections, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure
that the correct channel is selected:
• In Single Conversion mode, always select the channel before starting the conversion. The
channel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However,
the simplest method is to wait for the conversion to complete before changing the channel
selection
• In Free Running mode, always select the channel before starting the first conversion. The
channel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However,
the simplest method is to wait for the first conversion to complete, and then change the
channel selection. Since the next conversion has already started automatically, the next
result will reflect the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new
channel selection
When switching to a differential gain channel, the first conversion result may have a poor accuracy
due to the required settling time for the automatic offset cancellation circuitry. The user
should preferably disregard the first conversion result.
26.6.2 ADC voltage reference
The reference voltage for the ADC (VREF) indicates the conversion range for the ADC. Single
ended channels that exceed VREF will result in codes close to 0x3FF. VREF can be selected as
either AVCC, internal 2.56V reference, or external AREF pin.
AVCC is connected to the ADC through a passive switch. The internal 2.56V reference is generated
from the internal bandgap reference (VBG) through an internal amplifier. In either case, the
external AREF pin is directly connected to the ADC, and the reference voltage can be made
more immune to noise by connecting a capacitor between the AREF pin and ground. VREF can
also be measured at the AREF pin with a high impedant voltmeter. Note that VREF is a high
impedant source, and only a capacitive load should be connected in a system.
If the user has a fixed voltage source connected to the AREF pin, the user may not use the other
reference voltage options in the application, as they will be shorted to the external voltage. If no
external voltage is applied to the AREF pin, the user may switch between AVCC and 2.56V as
reference selection. The first ADC conversion result after switching reference voltage source
may be inaccurate, and the user is advised to discard this result.
If differential channels are used, the selected reference should not be closer to AVCC than indicated
in Table 31-5 on page 397.
26.7 ADC noise canceler
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during sleep mode to reduce noise
induced from the CPU core and other I/O peripherals. The noise canceler can be used with ADC
Noise Reduction and Idle mode. To make use of this feature, the following procedure should be
used:315
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
a. Make sure that the ADC is enabled and is not busy converting. Single Conversion
mode must be selected and the ADC conversion complete interrupt must be
enabled.
b. Enter ADC Noise Reduction mode (or Idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion
once the CPU has been halted.
c. If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC interrupt
will wake up the CPU and execute the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt
routine. If another interrupt wakes up the CPU before the ADC conversion is complete,
that interrupt will be executed, and an ADC Conversion Complete interrupt
request will be generated when the ADC conversion completes. The CPU will
remain in active mode until a new sleep command is executed.
Note that the ADC will not be automatically turned off when entering other sleep modes than Idle
mode and ADC Noise Reduction mode. The user is advised to write zero to ADEN before entering
such sleep modes to avoid excessive power consumption.
If the ADC is enabled in such sleep modes and the user wants to perform differential conversions,
the user is advised to switch the ADC off and on after waking up from sleep to prompt an
extended conversion to get a valid result.
26.7.1 Analog input circuitry
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated in Figure 26-8. An analog
source applied to ADCn is subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin, regardless
of whether that channel is selected as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the
source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series resistance (combined resistance in the
input path).
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10kΩ or
less. If such a source is used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher impedance
is used, the sampling time will depend on how long time the source needs to charge the
S/H capacitor, with can vary widely. The user is recommended to only use low impedant sources
with slowly varying signals, since this minimizes the required charge transfer to the S/H
capacitor.
If differential gain channels are used, the input circuitry looks somewhat different, although
source impedances of a few hundred kΩ or less is recommended.
Signal components higher than the Nyquist frequency (fADC/2) should not be present for either
kind of channels, to avoid distortion from unpredictable signal convolution. The user is advised
to remove high frequency components with a low-pass filter before applying the signals as
inputs to the ADC.

26.7.2 Analog noise canceling techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of
analog measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by
applying the following techniques:
a. Keep analog signal paths as short as possible. Make sure analog tracks run over
the analog ground plane, and keep them well away from high-speed switching digital
tracks.
b. The AVCC pin on the device should be connected to the digital VCC supply voltage
via an LC network as shown in Figure 26-9.
c. Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.
d. If any ADC port pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not
switch while a conversion is in progress.
Figure 26-9. ADC power connections.
26.7.3 Offset compensation schemes
The gain stage has a built-in offset cancellation circuitry that nulls the offset of differential measurements
as much as possible. The remaining offset in the analog path can be measured
directly by selecting the same channel for both differential inputs. This offset residue can be then
subtracted in software from the measurement results. Using this kind of software based offset
correction, offset on any channel can be reduced below one LSB.
26.7.4 ADC accuracy definitions
An n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps
(LSBs). The lowest code is read as 0, and the highest code is read as 2n
-1.

For single ended conversion, the result is:
where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see
Table 26-3 on page 322 and Table 26-4 on page 322). 0x000 represents analog ground, and
0x3FF represents the selected reference voltage minus one LSB.
If differential channels are used, the result is:
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin,
GAIN the selected gain factor and VREF the selected voltage reference. The result is presented
in two’s complement form, from 0x200 (-512d) through 0x1FF (+511d). Note that if the user
wants to perform a quick polarity check of the result, it is sufficient to read the MSB of the result
(ADC9 in ADCH). If the bit is one, the result is negative, and if this bit is zero, the result is positive.
Figure 26-14 shows the decoding of the differential input range.

Example 1:
– ADMUX = 0xED (ADC3 - ADC2, 10× gain, 2.56V reference, left adjusted result)
– Voltage on ADC3 is 300mV, voltage on ADC2 is 500mV.
– ADCR = 512 × 10 × (300 - 500) / 2560 = -400 = 0x270
– ADCL will thus read 0x00, and ADCH will read 0x9C.
Writing zero to ADLAR right adjusts the result: ADCL = 0x70, ADCH = 0x02.
Example 2:
– ADMUX = 0xFB (ADC3 - ADC2, 1× gain, 2.56V reference, left adjusted result)
– Voltage on ADC3 is 300mV, voltage on ADC2 is 500mV.
– ADCR = 512 × 1 × (300 - 500) / 2560 = -41 = 0x029.
– ADCL will thus read 0x40, and ADCH will read 0x0A.
Writing zero to ADLAR right adjusts the result: ADCL = 0x00, ADCH = 0x29.

will take 25 ADC clock cycles instead of the normal 13. This first conversion performs initialization
of the ADC.
ADSC will read as one as long as a conversion is in progress. When the conversion is complete,
it returns to zero. Writing zero to this bit has no effect.
• Bit 5 – ADATE: ADC Auto Trigger Enable
When this bit is written to one, Auto Triggering of the ADC is enabled. The ADC will start a conversion
on a positive edge of the selected trigger signal. The trigger source is selected by setting
the ADC Trigger Select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB.
• Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when an ADC conversion completes and the Data Registers are updated. The
ADC Conversion Complete Interrupt is executed if the ADIE bit and the I-bit in SREG are set.
ADIF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively,
ADIF is cleared by writing a logical one to the flag. Beware that if doing a Read-ModifyWrite
on ADCSRA, a pending interrupt can be disabled. This also applies if the SBI and CBI
instructions are used.
• Bit 3 – ADIE: ADC Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in SREG is set, the ADC Conversion Complete Interrupt
is activated.

When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers. If differential
channels are used, the result is presented in two’s complement form.
When ADCL is read, the ADC Data Register is not updated until ADCH is read. Consequently, if
the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision (7 bit + sign bit for differential input

ADCH.
The ADLAR bit in ADMUX, and the MUXn bits in ADMUX affect the way the result is read from
the registers. If ADLAR is set, the result is left adjusted. If ADLAR is cleared (default), the result
is right adjusted.
• ADC9:0: ADC Conversion Result
These bits represent the result from the conversion, as detailed in “ADC conversion result” on
page 318.
26.9.4 ADCSRB – ADC Control and Status Register B
• Bit 7 – ADHSM: ADC High Speed Mode
Writing this bit to one enables the ADC High Speed mode. This mode enables higher conversion
rate at the expense of higher power consumption.
• Bit 2:0 – ADTS2:0: ADC Auto Trigger Source
If ADATE in ADCSRA is written to one, the value of these bits selects which source will trigger
an ADC conversion. If ADATE is cleared, the ADTS2:0 settings will have no effect. A conversion
will be triggered by the rising edge of the selected interrupt flag. Note that switching from a trigger
source that is cleared to a trigger source that is set, will generate a positive edge on the
trigger signal. If ADEN in ADCSRA is set, this will start a conversion. Switching to Free Running
mode (ADTS[2:0]=0) will not cause a trigger event, even if the ADC Interrupt Flag is set.

27. JTAG interface and on-chip debug system
27.0.1 Features
• JTAG (IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant) interface
• Boundary-scan capabilities according to the IEEE std. 1149.1 (JTAG) standard
• Debugger access to:
– All internal peripheral units
– Internal and external RAM
– The internal register file
– Program counter
– EEPROM and flash memories
• Extensive on-chip debug support for break conditions, including
– AVR break instruction
– Break on change of program memory flow
– Single step break
– Program memory break points on single address or address range
– Data memory break points on single address or address range
• Programming of flash, EEPROM, fuses, and lock bits through the JTAG interface
• On-chip debugging supported by Atmel AVR Studio®
27.1 Overview
The AVR IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG interface can be used for
• Testing PCBs by using the JTAG Boundary-scan capability
• Programming the non-volatile memories, Fuses and Lock bits
• On-chip debugging
A brief description is given in the following sections. Detailed descriptions for Programming via
the JTAG interface, and using the Boundary-scan Chain can be found in the sections “Programming
via the JTAG interface” on page 377 and “IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan” on page
333, respectively. The On-chip Debug support is considered being private JTAG instructions,
and distributed within Atmel and to selected third party vendors only.
Figure 27-1 on page 328 shows a block diagram of the JTAG interface and the On-chip Debug
system. The TAP Controller is a state machine controlled by the TCK and TMS signals. The TAP
Controller selects either the JTAG Instruction Register or one of several Data Registers as the
scan chain (Shift Register) between the TDI – input and TDO – output. The Instruction Register
holds JTAG instructions controlling the behavior of a Data Register.
The ID-Register, Bypass Register, and the Boundary-scan Chain are the Data Registers used
for board-level testing. The JTAG Programming Interface (actually consisting of several physical
and virtual Data Registers) is used for serial programming via the JTAG interface. The Internal
Scan Chain and Break Point Scan Chain are used for On-chip debugging only.
27.2 TAP – Test Access Port
The JTAG interface is accessed through four of the AVR’s pins. In JTAG terminology, these pins
constitute the Test Access Port – TAP. These pins are:
• TMS: Test mode select. This pin is used for navigating through the TAP-controller state
machine
• TCK: Test Clock. JTAG operation is synchronous to TCK328
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
• TDI: Test Data In. Serial input data to be shifted in to the Instruction Register or Data Register
(Scan Chains)
• TDO: Test Data Out. Serial output data from Instruction Register or Data Register
The IEEE std. 1149.1 also specifies an optional TAP signal; TRST – Test ReSeT – which is not
provided.
When the JTAGEN Fuse is unprogrammed, these four TAP pins are normal port pins, and the
TAP controller is in reset. When programmed, the input TAP signals are internally pulled high
and the JTAG is enabled for Boundary-scan and programming. The device is shipped with this
fuse programmed.
For the On-chip Debug system, in addition to the JTAG interface pins, the RESET pin is monitored
by the debugger to be able to detect external reset sources. The debugger can also pull
the RESET pin low to reset the whole system, assuming only open collectors on the reset line
are used in the application.

Figure 27-2. TAP controller state diagram.
27.3 TAP Controller
The TAP Controller is a 16-state finite state machine that controls the operation of the Boundaryscan
circuitry, JTAG programming circuitry, or On-chip Debug system. The state transitions
depicted in Figure 27-2 depend on the signal present on TMS (shown adjacent to each state
transition) at the time of the rising edge at TCK. The initial state after a Power-on Reset is TestLogic-Reset.
As a definition in this document, the LSB is shifted in and out first for all Shift Registers.
Assuming Run-Test/Idle is the present state, a typical scenario for using the JTAG interface is:
• At the TMS input, apply the sequence 1, 1, 0, 0 at the rising edges of TCK to enter the Shift
Instruction Register – Shift-IR state. While in this state, shift the four bits of the JTAG
instructions into the JTAG Instruction Register from the TDI input at the rising edge of TCK.
The TMS input must be held low during input of the three LSBs in order to remain in the ShiftIR
state. The MSB of the instruction is shifted in when this state is left by setting TMS high.
While the instruction is shifted in from the TDI pin, the captured IR-state 0x01 is shifted out on
the TDO pin. The JTAG Instruction selects a particular Data Register as path between TDI
and TDO and controls the circuitry surrounding the selected Data Register

• Apply the TMS sequence 1, 1, 0 to re-enter the Run-Test/Idle state. The instruction is latched
onto the parallel output from the Shift Register path in the Update-IR state. The Exit-IR,
Pause-IR, and Exit2-IR states are only used for navigating the state machine
• At the TMS input, apply the sequence 1, 0, 0 at the rising edges of TCK to enter the Shift
Data Register – Shift-DR state. While in this state, upload the selected Data Register
(selected by the present JTAG instruction in the JTAG Instruction Register) from the TDI input
at the rising edge of TCK. In order to remain in the Shift-DR state, the TMS input must be
held low during input of all bits except the MSB. The MSB of the data is shifted in when this
state is left by setting TMS high. While the Data Register is shifted in from the TDI pin, the
parallel inputs to the Data Register captured in the Capture-DR state is shifted out on the
TDO pin
• Apply the TMS sequence 1, 1, 0 to re-enter the Run-Test/Idle state. If the selected Data
Register has a latched parallel-output, the latching takes place in the Update-DR state. The
Exit-DR, Pause-DR, and Exit2-DR states are only used for navigating the state machine
As shown in the state diagram, the Run-Test/Idle state need not be entered between selecting
JTAG instruction and using Data Registers, and some JTAG instructions may select certain
functions to be performed in the Run-Test/Idle, making it unsuitable as an Idle state.
Note: Independent of the initial state of the TAP Controller, the Test-Logic-Reset state can always be
entered by holding TMS high for five TCK clock periods.
For detailed information on the JTAG specification, refer to the literature listed in “Bibliography”
on page 332.
27.4 Using the Boundary-scan chain
A complete description of the Boundary-scan capabilities are given in the section “IEEE 1149.1
(JTAG) boundary-scan” on page 333.
27.5 Using the on-chip debug system
As shown in Figure 27-1 on page 328, the hardware support for on-chip debugging consists
mainly of
• A scan chain on the interface between the internal AVR CPU and the internal peripheral units
• Break Point unit
• Communication interface between the CPU and JTAG system
All read or modify/write operations needed for implementing the Debugger are done by applying
AVR instructions via the internal AVR CPU Scan Chain. The CPU sends the result to an I/O
memory mapped location which is part of the communication interface between the CPU and the
JTAG system.
The Break Point Unit implements Break on Change of Program Flow, Single Step Break, two
Program Memory Break Points, and two combined Break Points. Together, the four Break
Points can be configured as either:
• Four single program memory break points
• Three single program memory break point + one single data memory break point
• Two single program memory break points + two single data memory break points
• Two single program memory break points + one program memory break point with mask
(“range Break Point”)331
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
• Two single program memory break points + one data memory break point with mask (“range
Break Point”)
A debugger, like the Atmel AVR Studio, may however use one or more of these resources for its
internal purpose, leaving less flexibility to the end-user.
A list of the On-chip Debug specific JTAG instructions is given in “On-chip debug specific JTAG
instructions” on page 331.
The JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed to enable the JTAG Test Access Port. In addition, the
OCDEN Fuse must be programmed and no Lock bits must be set for the On-chip debug system
to work. As a security feature, the On-chip debug system is disabled when either of the LB1 or
LB2 Lock bits are set. Otherwise, the On-chip debug system would have provided a back-door
into a secured device.
The AVR Studio enables the user to fully control execution of programs on an AVR device with
On-chip Debug capability, AVR In-Circuit Emulator, or the built-in AVR Instruction Set Simulator.
AVR Studio supports source level execution of Assembly programs assembled with Atmel Corporation’s
AVR Assembler and C programs compiled with third party vendors’ compilers.
AVR Studio runs under Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/2000 and Microsoft Windows NT.
For a full description of the Atmel AVR Studio, please refer to the AVR Studio User Guide. Only
highlights are presented in this document.
All necessary execution commands are available in AVR Studio, both on source level and on
disassembly level. The user can execute the program, single step through the code either by
tracing into or stepping over functions, step out of functions, place the cursor on a statement and
execute until the statement is reached, stop the execution, and reset the execution target. In
addition, the user can have an unlimited number of code Break Points (using the BREAK
instruction) and up to two data memory Break Points, alternatively combined as a mask (range)
Break Point.
27.6 On-chip debug specific JTAG instructions

ATMEL and to selected third party vendors only. Instruction opcodes are listed for reference.

27.7 On-chip Debug related Register in I/O memory
27.7.1 OCDR – On-chip Debug Register
The OCDR Register provides a communication channel from the running program in the microcontroller
to the debugger. The CPU can transfer a byte to the debugger by writing to this
location. At the same time, an internal flag; I/O Debug Register Dirty – IDRD – is set to indicate
to the debugger that the register has been written. When the CPU reads the OCDR Register the
seven LSB will be from the OCDR Register, while the MSB is the IDRD bit. The debugger clears
the IDRD bit when it has read the information.
In some AVR devices, this register is shared with a standard I/O location. In this case, the OCDR
Register can only be accessed if the OCDEN Fuse is programmed, and the debugger enables
access to the OCDR Register. In all other cases, the standard I/O location is accessed.
Refer to the debugger documentation for further information on how to use this register.
27.8 Using the JTAG programming capabilities
Programming of AVR parts via JTAG is performed via the 4-pin JTAG port, TCK, TMS, TDI, and
TDO. These are the only pins that need to be controlled/observed to perform JTAG programming
(in addition to power pins). It is not required to apply 12V externally. The JTAGEN Fuse
must be programmed and the JTD bit in the MCUCR Register must be cleared to enable the
JTAG Test Access Port.
The JTAG programming capability supports:
• Flash programming and verifying
• EEPROM programming and verifying
• Fuse programming and verifying
• Lock bit programming and verifying
The Lock bit security is exactly as in parallel programming mode. If the Lock bits LB1 or LB2 are
programmed, the OCDEN Fuse cannot be programmed unless first doing a chip erase. This is a
security feature that ensures no back-door exists for reading out the content of a secured
device.
The details on programming through the JTAG interface and programming specific JTAG
instructions are given in the section “Programming via the JTAG interface” on page 377.

28. IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan
28.1 Features
• JTAG (IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant) interface
• Boundary-scan capabilities according to the JTAG standard
• Full scan of all port functions as well as analog circuitry having off-chip connections
• Supports the optional IDCODE instruction
• Additional public AVR_RESET instruction to reset the AVR
28.2 System overview
The Boundary-scan chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on the digital
I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog circuitry having
off-chip connections. At system level, all ICs having JTAG capabilities are connected serially by
the TDI/TDO signals to form a long Shift Register. An external controller sets up the devices to
drive values at their output pins, and observe the input values received from other devices. The
controller compares the received data with the expected result. In this way, Boundary-scan provides
a mechanism for testing interconnections and integrity of components on Printed Circuits
Boards by using the four TAP signals only.
The four IEEE 1149.1 defined mandatory JTAG instructions IDCODE, BYPASS, SAMPLE/PRELOAD,
and EXTEST, as well as the AVR specific public JTAG instruction AVR_RESET can be
used for testing the Printed Circuit Board. Initial scanning of the Data Register path will show the
ID-Code of the device, since IDCODE is the default JTAG instruction. It may be desirable to
have the AVR device in reset during test mode. If not reset, inputs to the device may be determined
by the scan operations, and the internal software may be in an undetermined state when
exiting the test mode. Entering reset, the outputs of any port pin will instantly enter the high
impedance state, making the HIGHZ instruction redundant. If needed, the BYPASS instruction
can be issued to make the shortest possible scan chain through the device. The device can be
set in the reset state either by pulling the external RESET pin low, or issuing the AVR_RESET
instruction with appropriate setting of the Reset Data Register.
The EXTEST instruction is used for sampling external pins and loading output pins with data.
The data from the output latch will be driven out on the pins as soon as the EXTEST instruction
is loaded into the JTAG IR-Register. Therefore, the SAMPLE/PRELOAD should also be used for
setting initial values to the scan ring, to avoid damaging the board when issuing the EXTEST
instruction for the first time. SAMPLE/PRELOAD can also be used for taking a snapshot of the
external pins during normal operation of the part.
The JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed and the JTD bit in the I/O Register MCUCR must be
cleared to enable the JTAG Test Access Port.
When using the JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, using a JTAG TCK clock frequency higher
than the internal chip frequency is possible. The chip clock is not required to run.
28.3 Data registers
The Data Registers relevant for Boundary-scan operations are:
• Bypass Register
• Device Identification Register
• Reset Register
• Boundary-scan Chain334
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
28.3.1 Bypass register
The Bypass register consists of a single Shift register stage. When the Bypass register is
selected as path between TDI and TDO, the register is reset to 0 when leaving the Capture-DR
controller state. The Bypass register can be used to shorten the scan chain on a system when
the other devices are to be tested.
28.3.2 Device Identification register
Figure 28-1 shows the structure of the Device Identification register.
Figure 28-1. The Format of the Device Identification register.
28.3.2.1 Version
Version is a 4-bit number identifying the revision of the component. The JTAG version number
follows the revision of the device. Revision A is 0x0, revision B is 0x1 and so on.
28.3.2.2 Part number
The part number is a 16-bit code identifying the component. The JTAG Part Number for Atmel
AT90USB64/128 is listed in Table 28-1.
28.3.2.3 Manufacturer ID
The Manufacturer ID is a 11-bit code identifying the manufacturer. The JTAG manufacturer ID
for ATMEL is listed in Table 28-2.
28.3.3 Reset register
The Reset Register is a test Data Register used to reset the part. Since the AVR tri-states Port
Pins when reset, the Reset Register can also replace the function of the un-implemented
optional JTAG instruction HIGHZ.
A high value in the Reset Register corresponds to pulling the external Reset low. The part is
reset as long as there is a high value present in the Reset Register. Depending on the fuse settings
for the clock options, the part will remain reset for a reset time-out period (refer to “Clock
sources” on page 41) after releasing the Reset Register. The output from this Data Register is
not latched, so the reset will take place immediately, as shown in Figure 28-2 on page 335.

28.3.4 Boundary-scan Chain
The Boundary-scan Chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on the digital
I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog circuitry having
off-chip connections.
See “Boundary-scan chain” on page 337 for a complete description.
28.4 Boundary-scan specific JTAG instructions
The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. Listed below are the
JTAG instructions useful for Boundary-scan operation. Note that the optional HIGHZ instruction
is not implemented, but all outputs with tri-state capability can be set in high-impedant state by
using the AVR_RESET instruction, since the initial state for all port pins is tri-state.
As a definition in this datasheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first for all Shift Registers.
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format. The text
describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for each instruction.
28.4.1 EXTEST; 0x0
Mandatory JTAG instruction for selecting the Boundary-scan Chain as Data Register for testing
circuitry external to the AVR package. For port-pins, Pull-up Disable, Output Control, Output
Data, and Input Data are all accessible in the scan chain. For Analog circuits having off-chip
connections, the interface between the analog and the digital logic is in the scan chain. The contents
of the latched outputs of the Boundary-scan chain is driven out as soon as the JTAG IRRegister
is loaded with the EXTEST instruction.
The active states are:
• Capture-DR: Data on the external pins are sampled into the Boundary-scan Chain
• Shift-DR: The Internal Scan Chain is shifted by the TCK input
• Update-DR: Data from the scan chain is applied to output pins
28.4.2 IDCODE; 0x1
Optional JTAG instruction selecting the 32-bit ID-Register as Data Register. The ID-Register
consists of a version number, a device number and the manufacturer code chosen by JEDEC.
This is the default instruction after power-up.

28.4.3 SAMPLE_PRELOAD; 0x2
Mandatory JTAG instruction for pre-loading the output latches and taking a snap-shot of the
input/output pins without affecting the system operation. However, the output latches are not
connected to the pins. The Boundary-scan Chain is selected as Data Register.
The active states are:
• Capture-DR: Data on the external pins are sampled into the Boundary-scan Chain
• Shift-DR: The Boundary-scan Chain is shifted by the TCK input
• Update-DR: Data from the Boundary-scan chain is applied to the output latches. However,
the output latches are not connected to the pins
28.4.4 AVR_RESET; 0xC
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for forcing the AVR device into the Reset mode or
releasing the JTAG reset source. The TAP controller is not reset by this instruction. The one bit
Reset Register is selected as Data Register. Note that the reset will be active as long as there is
a logic “one” in the Reset Chain. The output from this chain is not latched.
The active states are:
• Shift-DR: The Reset Register is shifted by the TCK input
28.4.5 BYPASS; 0xF
Mandatory JTAG instruction selecting the Bypass Register for Data Register.
The active states are:

28.5.1 MCUCR – MCU Control Register
The MCU Control Register contains control bits for general MCU functions.
• Bits 7 – JTD: JTAG Interface Disable
When this bit is zero, the JTAG interface is enabled if the JTAGEN Fuse is programmed. If this
bit is one, the JTAG interface is disabled. In order to avoid unintentional disabling or enabling of
the JTAG interface, a timed sequence must be followed when changing this bit: The application
software must write this bit to the desired value twice within four cycles to change its value. Note
that this bit must not be altered when using the On-chip Debug system.

28.5.2 MCUSR – MCU Status Register
The MCU Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU reset.
• Bit 4 – JTRF: JTAG Reset Flag
This bit is set if a reset is being caused by a logic one in the JTAG Reset Register selected by
the JTAG instruction AVR_RESET. This bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic
zero to the flag.
28.6 Boundary-scan chain
The Boundary-scan chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on the digital
I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog circuitry having
off-chip connection.
28.6.1 Scanning the digital port pins
Figure 28-3 on page 338 shows the Boundary-scan Cell for a bi-directional port pin. The pull-up
function is disabled during Boundary-scan when the JTAG IC contains EXTEST or
SAMPLE_PRELOAD. The cell consists of a bi-directional pin cell that combines the three signals
Output Control - OCxn, Output Data - ODxn, and Input Data - IDxn, into only a two-stage
Shift Register. The port and pin indexes are not used in the following description
The Boundary-scan logic is not included in the figures in the datasheet. Figure 28-4 on page 339
shows a simple digital port pin as described in the section “I/O-ports” on page 71. The Boundaryscan
details from Figure 28-3 on page 338 replaces the dashed box in Figure 28-4 on page 339.
When no alternate port function is present, the Input Data - ID - corresponds to the PINxn Register
value (but ID has no synchronizer), Output Data corresponds to the PORT Register, Output
Control corresponds to the Data Direction - DD Register, and the Pull-up Enable - PUExn - corresponds
to logic expression PUD · DDxn · PORTxn.
Digital alternate port functions are connected outside the dotted box in Figure 28-4 on page 339
to make the scan chain read the actual pin value. For analog function, there is a direct connection
from the external pin to the analog circuit. There is no scan chain on the interface between
the digital and the analog circuitry, but some digital control signal to analog circuitry are turned
off to avoid driving contention on the pads.
When JTAG IR contains EXTEST or SAMPLE_PRELOAD the clock is not sent out on the port
pins even if the CKOUT fuse is programmed. Even though the clock is output when the JTAG IR
contains SAMPLE_PRELOAD, the clock is not sampled by the boundary scan.

28.7 Atmel AT90USB64/128 Boundary-scan order
Table 28-3 shows the Scan order between TDI and TDO when the Boundary-scan chain is
selected as data path. Bit 0 is the LSB; the first bit scanned in, and the first bit scanned out. The
scan order follows the pin-out order as far as possible. Therefore, the bits of Port A and Port Fis
scanned in the opposite bit order of the other ports. Exceptions from the rules are the Scan
chains for the analog circuits, which constitute the most significant bits of the scan chain regardless
of which physical pin they are connected to. In Figure 28-3 on page 338, PXn. Data
corresponds to FF0, PXn. Control corresponds to FF1, PXn. Bit 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Port F is not in
the scan chain, since these pins constitute the TAP pins when the JTAG is enabled. The USB
pads are not included in the boundary-scan.

29. Boot Loader support – read-while-write self-programming
The Boot Loader Support provides a real Read-While-Write Self-Programming mechanism for
downloading and uploading program code by the MCU itself. This feature allows flexible application
software updates controlled by the MCU using a Flash-resident Boot Loader program. The
Boot Loader program can use any available data interface and associated protocol to read code
and write (program) that code into the Flash memory, or read the code from the program memory.
The program code within the Boot Loader section has the capability to write into the entire
Flash, including the Boot Loader memory. The Boot Loader can thus even modify itself, and it
can also erase itself from the code if the feature is not needed anymore. The size of the Boot
Loader memory is configurable with fuses and the Boot Loader has two separate sets of Boot
Lock bits which can be set independently. This gives the user a unique flexibility to select different
levels of protection. General information on SPM and ELPM is provided in See “AVR CPU
core” on page 11.
29.1 Boot Loader features
• Read-while-write self-programming
• Flexible boot memory size
• High security (separate boot lock bits for a flexible protection)
• Separate fuse to select reset vector
• Optimized page (1) size
• Code efficient algorithm
• Efficient read-modify-write support
Note: 1. A page is a section in the Flash consisting of several bytes (see Table 30-11 on page 364)
used during programming. The page organization does not affect normal operation.
29.2 Application and Boot Loader flash sections
The Flash memory is organized in two main sections, the Application section and the Boot
Loader section (see Figure 29-2 on page 346). The size of the different sections is configured by
the BOOTSZ Fuses as shown in Table 29-8 on page 357 and Figure 29-2 on page 346. These
two sections can have different level of protection since they have different sets of Lock bits.
29.2.1 Application section
The Application section is the section of the Flash that is used for storing the application code.
The protection level for the Application section can be selected by the application Boot Lock bits
(Boot Lock bits 0), see Table 29-2 on page 347. The Application section can never store any
Boot Loader code since the SPM instruction is disabled when executed from the Application
section.
29.2.2 BLS – Boot Loader section
While the Application section is used for storing the application code, the The Boot Loader software
must be located in the BLS since the SPM instruction can initiate a programming when
executing from the BLS only. The SPM instruction can access the entire Flash, including the
BLS itself. The protection level for the Boot Loader section can be selected by the Boot Loader
Lock bits (Boot Lock bits 1), see Table 29-3 on page 347.
29.3 Read-while-write and no read-while-write flash sections
Whether the CPU supports Read-While-Write or if the CPU is halted during a Boot Loader software
update is dependent on which address that is being programmed. In addition to the two344
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
sections that are configurable by the BOOTSZ Fuses as described above, the Flash is also
divided into two fixed sections, the Read-While-Write (RWW) section and the No Read-WhileWrite
(NRWW) section. The limit between the RWW- and NRWW sections is given in Table 29-
1 and Figure 29-1 on page 345. The main difference between the two sections is:
• When erasing or writing a page located inside the RWW section, the NRWW section can be
read during the operation
• When erasing or writing a page located inside the NRWW section, the CPU is halted during
the entire operation
Note that the user software can never read any code that is located inside the RWW section during
a Boot Loader software operation. The syntax “Read-While-Write section” refers to which
section that is being programmed (erased or written), not which section that actually is being
read during a Boot Loader software update.
29.3.1 RWW – Read-While-Write section
If a Boot Loader software update is programming a page inside the RWW section, it is possible
to read code from the Flash, but only code that is located in the NRWW section. During an ongoing
programming, the software must ensure that the RWW section never is being read. If the
user software is trying to read code that is located inside the RWW section (i.e., by load program
memory, call, or jump instructions or an interrupt) during programming, the software might end
up in an unknown state. To avoid this, the interrupts should either be disabled or moved to the
Boot Loader section. The Boot Loader section is always located in the NRWW section. The
RWW Section Busy bit (RWWSB) in the Store Program Memory Control and Status Register
(SPMCSR) will be read as logical one as long as the RWW section is blocked for reading. After
a programming is completed, the RWWSB must be cleared by software before reading code
located in the RWW section. See “SPMCSR – Store Program Memory Control and Status Register”
on page 349. for details on how to clear RWWSB.
29.3.2 NRWW – No Read-While-Write section
The code located in the NRWW section can be read when the Boot Loader software is updating
a page in the RWW section. When the Boot Loader code updates the NRWW section, the CPU
is halted during the entire Page Erase or Page Write operation.

Note: 1. The parameters in the figure above are given in Table 29-8 on page 357.
29.4 Boot Loader lock bits
If no Boot Loader capability is needed, the entire Flash is available for application code. The
Boot Loader has two separate sets of Boot Lock bits which can be set independently. This gives
the user a unique flexibility to select different levels of protection.
The user can select:
• To protect the entire Flash from a software update by the MCU
• To protect only the Boot Loader Flash section from a software update by the MCU
• To protect only the Application Flash section from a software update by the MCU
• Allow software update in the entire Flash
See Table 29-2 on page 347 and Table 29-3 on page 347 for further details. The Boot Lock bits
can be set by software and in Serial or in Parallel Programming mode. They can only be cleared
by a Chip Erase command only. The general Write Lock (Lock Bit mode 2) does not control the
programming of the Flash memory by SPM instruction. Similarly, the general Read/Write Lock
(Lock Bit mode 1) does not control reading nor writing by (E)LPM/SPM, if it is attempted.

29.5 Entering the Boot Loader program
The boot loader can be executed with three different conditions:
29.5.1 Regular application conditions.
A jump or call from the application program. This may be initiated by a trigger such as a command
received via USART, SPI or USB.
29.5.2 Boot Reset fuse
The Boot Reset Fuse (BOOTRST) can be programmed so that the Reset Vector is pointing to
the Boot Flash start address after a reset. In this case, the Boot Loader is started after a reset.
After the application code is loaded, the program can start executing the application code. Note
that the fuses cannot be changed by the MCU itself. This means that once the Boot Reset Fuse
is programmed, the Reset Vector will always point to the Boot Loader Reset and the fuse can
only be changed through the serial or parallel programming interface.

29.5.3 External hardware conditions
The Hardware Boot Enable Fuse (HWBE) can be programmed (see Table 29-5) so that upon
special hardware conditions under reset, the boot loader execution is forced after reset.
Note: 1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed.
When the HWBE fuse is enable the ALE/HWB pin is configured as input during reset and sampled
during reset rising edge. When ALE/HWB pin is ‘0’ during reset rising edge, the reset vector

29.5.4 SPMCSR – Store Program Memory Control and Status Register
The Store Program Memory Control and Status Register contains the control bits needed to control
the Boot Loader operations.
• Bit 7 – SPMIE: SPM Interrupt Enable
When the SPMIE bit is written to one, and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the SPM
ready interrupt will be enabled. The SPM ready Interrupt will be executed as long as the SPMEN
bit in the SPMCSR Register is cleared.
• Bit 6 – RWWSB: Read-While-Write Section Busy
When a Self-Programming (Page Erase or Page Write) operation to the RWW section is initiated,
the RWWSB will be set (one) by hardware. When the RWWSB bit is set, the RWW section
cannot be accessed. The RWWSB bit will be cleared if the RWWSRE bit is written to one after a
Self-Programming operation is completed. Alternatively the RWWSB bit will automatically be
cleared if a page load operation is initiated.
• Bit 5 – SIGRD: Signature Row Read
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next LPM instruction within three
clock cycles will read a byte from the signature row into the destination register. see “Reading
the Signature Row from software” on page 354 for details. An SPM instruction within four cycles
after SIGRD and SPMEN are set will have no effect. This operation is reserved for future use
and should not be used.
• Bit 4 – RWWSRE: Read-While-Write Section Read Enable
When programming (Page Erase or Page Write) to the RWW section, the RWW section is
blocked for reading (the RWWSB will be set by hardware). To re-enable the RWW section, the
user software must wait until the programming is completed (SPMEN will be cleared). Then, if
the RWWSRE bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within
four clock cycles re-enables the RWW section. The RWW section cannot be re-enabled while
the Flash is busy with a Page Erase or a Page Write (SPMEN is set). If the RWWSRE bit is written
while the Flash is being loaded, the Flash load operation will abort and the data loaded will
be lost.
• Bit 3 – BLBSET: Boot Lock Bit Set
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock
cycles sets Boot Lock bits, according to the data in R0. The data in R1 and the address in the Zpointer
are ignored. The BLBSET bit will automatically be cleared upon completion of the Lock
bit set, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles.
An (E)LPM instruction within three cycles after BLBSET and SPMEN are set in the SPMCSR
Register, will read either the Lock bits or the Fuse bits (depending on Z0 in the Z-pointer) into the
destination register. See “Reading the Fuse and Lock bits from software” on page 353 for
details.

AT90USB64/128
• Bit 2 – PGWRT: Page Write
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock
cycles executes Page Write, with the data stored in the temporary buffer. The page address is
taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The data in R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGWRT bit
will auto-clear upon completion of a Page Write, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four
clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire Page Write operation if the NRWW section is
addressed.
• Bit 1 – PGERS: Page Erase
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock
cycles executes Page Erase. The page address is taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The
data in R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGERS bit will auto-clear upon completion of a Page Erase,
or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire
Page Write operation if the NRWW section is addressed.
• Bit 0 – SPMEN: Store Program Memory Enable
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one together with
either RWWSRE, BLBSET, PGWRT’ or PGERS, the following SPM instruction will have a special
meaning, see description above. If only SPMEN is written, the following SPM instruction will
store the value in R1:R0 in the temporary page buffer addressed by the Z-pointer. The LSB of
the Z-pointer is ignored. The SPMEN bit will auto-clear upon completion of an SPM instruction,
or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles. During Page Erase and Page Write,
the SPMEN bit remains high until the operation is completed.
Writing any other combination than “10001”, “01001”, “00101”, “00011” or “00001” in the lower
five bits will have no effect.
Note: Only one SPM instruction should be active at any time.
29.6 Addressing the flash during self-programming
The Z-pointer is used to address the SPM commands. The Z pointer consists of the Z-registers
ZL and ZH in the register file, and RAMPZ in the I/O space. The number of bits actually used is
implementation dependent. Note that the RAMPZ register is only implemented when the program
space is larger than 64kBytes.
Since the Flash is organized in pages (see Table 30-11 on page 364), the Program Counter can
be treated as having two different sections. One section, consisting of the least significant bits, is
addressing the words within a page, while the most significant bits are addressing the pages.
This is shown in Figure 29-4 on page 351. Note that the Page Erase and Page Write operations
are addressed independently. Therefore it is of major importance that the Boot Loader software
addresses the same page in both the Page Erase and Page Write operation. Once a programming
operation is initiated, the address is latched and the Z-pointer can be used for other
operations.
The (E)LPM instruction use the Z-pointer to store the address. Since this instruction addresses
the Flash byte-by-byte, also bit Z0 of the Z-pointer is used.

Figure 29-4. Addressing the flash during SPM (1).
Note: 1. The different variables used in Figure 29-4 are listed in Table 29-10 on page 358.
29.7 Self-programming the flash
The program memory is updated in a page by page fashion. Before programming a page with
the data stored in the temporary page buffer, the page must be erased. The temporary page buffer
is filled one word at a time using SPM and the buffer can be filled either before the Page
Erase command or between a Page Erase and a Page Write operation:
Alternative 1, fill the buffer before a Page Erase
• Fill temporary page buffer
• Perform a Page Erase
• Perform a Page Write
Alternative 2, fill the buffer after Page Erase
• Perform a Page Erase
• Fill temporary page buffer
• Perform a Page Write
If only a part of the page needs to be changed, the rest of the page must be stored (for example
in the temporary page buffer) before the erase, and then be rewritten. When using alternative 1,
the Boot Loader provides an effective Read-Modify-Write feature which allows the user software
to first read the page, do the necessary changes, and then write back the modified data. If alternative
2 is used, it is not possible to read the old data while loading since the page is already
erased. The temporary page buffer can be accessed in a random sequence. It is essential that
the page address used in both the Page Erase and Page Write operation is addressing the same

29.7.1 Performing page erase by SPM
To execute Page Erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000011” to SPMCSR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored.
The page address must be written to PCPAGE in the Z-register. Other bits in the Z-pointer will
be ignored during this operation.
• Page Erase to the RWW section: The NRWW section can be read during the Page Erase
• Page Erase to the NRWW section: The CPU is halted during the operation
29.7.2 Filling the Temporary Buffer (page loading)
To write an instruction word, set up the address in the Z-pointer and data in R1:R0, write
“00000001” to SPMCSR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The
content of PCWORD in the Z-register is used to address the data in the temporary buffer. The
temporary buffer will auto-erase after a Page Write operation or by writing the RWWSRE bit in
SPMCSR. It is also erased after a system reset. Note that it is not possible to write more than
one time to each address without erasing the temporary buffer.
If the EEPROM is written in the middle of an SPM Page Load operation, all data loaded will be
lost.

To execute Page Write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000101” to SPMCSR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored.
The page address must be written to PCPAGE. Other bits in the Z-pointer must be written to
zero during this operation.
• Page Write to the RWW section: The NRWW section can be read during the Page Write
• Page Write to the NRWW section: The CPU is halted during the operation
29.7.4 Using the SPM interrupt
If the SPM interrupt is enabled, the SPM interrupt will generate a constant interrupt when the
SPMEN bit in SPMCSR is cleared. This means that the interrupt can be used instead of polling
the SPMCSR Register in software. When using the SPM interrupt, the Interrupt Vectors should
be moved to the BLS section to avoid that an interrupt is accessing the RWW section when it is
blocked for reading. How to move the interrupts is described in “Interrupts” on page 68.
29.7.5 Consideration while updating BLS
Special care must be taken if the user allows the Boot Loader section to be updated by leaving
Boot Lock bit11 unprogrammed. An accidental write to the Boot Loader itself can corrupt the
entire Boot Loader, and further software updates might be impossible. If it is not necessary to
change the Boot Loader software itself, it is recommended to program the Boot Lock bit11 to
protect the Boot Loader software from any internal software changes.
29.7.6 Prevent reading the RWW section during self-programming
During Self-Programming (either Page Erase or Page Write), the RWW section is always
blocked for reading. The user software itself must prevent that this section is addressed during
the self programming operation. The RWWSB in the SPMCSR will be set as long as the RWW
section is busy. During Self-Programming the Interrupt Vector table should be moved to the BLS353
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
as described in “Interrupts” on page 68, or the interrupts must be disabled. Before addressing
the RWW section after the programming is completed, the user software must clear the
RWWSB by writing the RWWSRE. See “Simple Assembly Code example for a Boot Loader” on
page 355 for an example.
29.7.7 Setting the Boot Loader Lock bits by SPM
To set the Boot Loader Lock bits, write the desired data to R0, write “X0001001” to SPMCSR
and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The only accessible Lock bits
are the Boot Lock bits that may prevent the Application and Boot Loader section from any software
update by the MCU.
See Table 29-2 on page 347 and Table 29-3 on page 347 for how the different settings of the
Boot Loader bits affect the Flash access.
If bits 5..2 in R0 are cleared (zero), the corresponding Boot Lock bit will be programmed if an
SPM instruction is executed within four cycles after BLBSET and SPMEN are set in SPMCSR.
The Z-pointer is don’t care during this operation, but for future compatibility it is recommended to
load the Z-pointer with 0x0001 (same as used for reading the lOck bits). For future compatibility it
is also recommended to set bits 7, 6, 1, and 0 in R0 to “1” when writing the Lock bits. When programming
the Lock bits the entire Flash can be read during the operation.
29.7.8 EEPROM Write prevents writing to SPMCSR
Note that an EEPROM write operation will block all software programming to Flash. Reading the
Fuses and Lock bits from software will also be prevented during the EEPROM write operation. It
is recommended that the user checks the status bit (EEPE) in the EECR Register and verifies
that the bit is cleared before writing to the SPMCSR Register.
29.7.9 Reading the Fuse and Lock bits from software
It is possible to read both the Fuse and Lock bits from software. To read the Lock bits, load the
Z-pointer with 0x0001 and set the BLBSET and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an (E)LPM
instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in
SPMCSR, the value of the Lock bits will be loaded in the destination register. The BLBSET and
SPMEN bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Lock bits or if no (E)LPM instruction
is executed within three CPU cycles or no SPM instruction is executed within four CPU cycles.
When BLBSET and SPMEN are cleared, (E)LPM will work as described in the Instruction set
Manual.
The algorithm for reading the Fuse Low byte is similar to the one described above for reading
the Lock bits. To read the Fuse Low byte, load the Z-pointer with 0x0000 and set the BLBSET
and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an (E)LPM instruction is executed within three cycles after
the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR, the value of the Fuse Low byte (FLB) will
be loaded in the destination register as shown below. Refer to Table 30-5 on page 361 for a
detailed description and mapping of the Fuse Low byte.
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
Similarly, when reading the Fuse High byte, load 0x0003 in the Z-pointer. When an (E)LPM
instruction is executed within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the
SPMCSR, the value of the Fuse High byte (FHB) will be loaded in the destination register as
shown below. Refer to Table 30-4 on page 361 for detailed description and mapping of the Fuse
High byte.
When reading the Extended Fuse byte, load 0x0002 in the Z-pointer. When an (E)LPM instruction
is executed within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR,
the value of the Extended Fuse byte (EFB) will be loaded in the destination register as shown
below. Refer to Table 30-3 on page 360 for detailed description and mapping of the Extended
Fuse byte.
Fuse and Lock bits that are programmed, will be read as zero. Fuse and Lock bits that are
unprogrammed, will be read as one.
29.7.10 Reading the Signature Row from software
To read the Signature Row from software, load the Z-pointer with the signature byte address
given in Table 29-6 on page 354 and set the SIGRD and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an
LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the SIGRD and SPMEN bits are set in
SPMCSR, the signature byte value will be loaded in the destination register. The SIGRD and
SPMEN bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Signature Row Lock bits or if no LPM
instruction is executed within three CPU cycles. When SIGRD and SPMEN are cleared, LPM will
work as described in the Instruction set Manual.
AT90USB64/128 includes a unique 10-bytes serial number located in the signature row. This
unique serial number can be used as a USB serial number in the device enumeration process.
The pointer addresses to access this unique serial number are given in Table 29-6 on page 354.
Note: All other addresses are reserved for future use.
29.7.11 Preventing flash corruption
During periods of low VCC, the Flash program can be corrupted because the supply voltage is
too low for the CPU and the Flash to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board
level systems using the Flash, and the same design solutions should be applied.
A Flash program corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low. First, a
regular write sequence to the Flash requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly. Secondly,

7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the supply voltage for executing instructions
is too low.
Flash corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommendations (one is
sufficient):
1. If there is no need for a Boot Loader update in the system, program the Boot Loader
Lock bits to prevent any Boot Loader software updates.
2. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage.
This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD) if the operating
voltage matches the detection level. If not, an external low VCC reset protection circuit
can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in progress, the write operation
will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.
3. Keep the AVR core in Power-down sleep mode during periods of low VCC. This will prevent
the CPU from attempting to decode and execute instructions, effectively protecting
the SPMCSR Register and thus the Flash from unintentional writes.
29.7.12 Programming time for flash when using SPM
The calibrated RC Oscillator is used to time Flash accesses. Table 29-7 shows the typical programming
time for Flash accesses from the CPU.
29.7.13 Simple Assembly Code example for a Boot Loader
;- the routine writes one page of data from RAM to Flash
; the first data location in RAM is pointed to by the Y-pointer
; the first data location in Flash is pointed to by the Z-pointer
;- error handling is not included
;- the routine must be placed inside the Boot space
; (at least the Do_spm sub routine). Only code inside NRWW section can
; be read during Self-Programming (Page Erase and Page Write).
;- registers used: r0, r1, temp1 (r16), temp2 (r17), looplo (r24),
; loophi (r25), spmcsrval (r20)
; storing and restoring of registers is not included in the routine
; register usage can be optimized at the expense of code size
;- it is assumed that either the interrupt table is moved to the Boot
; loader section or that the interrupts are disabled.

30.8.1 Serial programming algorithm
When writing serial data to the Atmel AT90USB64/128, data is clocked on the rising edge of
SCK. When reading data from the AT90USB64/128, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK.
See Figure 30-11 on page 375 for timing details.
To program and verify the AT90USB64/128 in the serial programming mode, the following
sequence is recommended (See four byte instruction formats in Table 30-16 on page 376):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems,
the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin PDI.

3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the
third byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all
four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give
RESET a positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at
a time by supplying the 7 LSB of the address and data together with the Load Program
Memory Page instruction. To ensure correct loading of the page, the data low byte must
be loaded before data high byte is applied for a given address. The Program Memory
Page is stored by loading the Write Program Memory Page instruction with the address
lines 15..8. Before issuing this command, make sure the instruction Load Extended
Address Byte has been used to define the MSB of the address. The extended address
byte is stored until the command is re-issued, i.e., the command needs only be issued
for the first page, and when crossing the 64KWord boundary. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not
used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 30-
15.) Accessing the serial programming interface before the Flash write operation completes
can result in incorrect programming.
5. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and
data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is
first automatically erased before new data is written. If polling is not used, the user must
wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (See Table 30-15.) In a chip
erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the
content at the selected address at serial output PDO. When reading the Flash memory,
use the instruction Load Extended Address Byte to define the upper address byte,
which is not included in the Read Program Memory instruction. The extended address
byte is stored until the command is re-issued, that is, the command needs only be
issued for the first page, and when crossing the 64KWord boundary.
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation.
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off.

30.8.2 Serial programming characteristics
For characteristics of the Serial Programming module see “SPI timing characteristics” on page
395.
30.9 Programming via the JTAG interface
Programming through the JTAG interface requires control of the four JTAG specific pins: TCK,
TMS, TDI, and TDO. Control of the reset and clock pins is not required.
To be able to use the JTAG interface, the JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed. The device is
default shipped with the fuse programmed. In addition, the JTD bit in MCUCR must be cleared.
Alternatively, if the JTD bit is set, the external reset can be forced low. Then, the JTD bit will be
cleared after two chip clocks, and the JTAG pins are available for programming. This provides a
means of using the JTAG pins as normal port pins in Running mode while still allowing In-System
Programming via the JTAG interface. Note that this technique can not be used when using
the JTAG pins for Boundary-scan or On-chip Debug. In these cases the JTAG pins must be dedicated
for this purpose.
During programming the clock frequency of the TCK Input must be less than the maximum frequency
of the chip. The System Clock Prescaler can not be used to divide the TCK Clock Input
into a sufficiently low frequency.
As a definition in this datasheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first of all Shift Registers.
30.9.1 Programming specific JTAG instructions
The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. The JTAG instructions
useful for programming are listed below.
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format. The text
describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for each instruction.
The Run-Test/Idle state of the TAP controller is used to generate internal clocks. It can also be
used as an idle state between JTAG sequences. The state machine sequence for changing the
instruction word is shown in Figure 30-12 on page 378.

30.9.2 AVR_RESET (0xC)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for setting the AVR device in the Reset mode or taking
the device out from the Reset mode. The TAP controller is not reset by this instruction. The one
bit Reset Register is selected as Data Register. Note that the reset will be active as long as there
is a logic “one” in the Reset Chain. The output from this chain is not latched.
The active states are:
• Shift-DR: The Reset Register is shifted by the TCK input
30.9.3 PROG_ENABLE (0x4)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for enabling programming via the JTAG port. The 16-
bit Programming Enable Register is selected as Data Register. The active states are the
following:
• Shift-DR: The programming enable signature is shifted into the Data Register
• Update-DR: The programming enable signature is compared to the correct value, and
Programming mode is entered if the signature is valid

30.9.4 PROG_COMMANDS (0x5)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for entering programming commands via the JTAG
port. The 15-bit Programming Command Register is selected as Data Register. The active
states are the following:
• Capture-DR: The result of the previous command is loaded into the Data Register
• Shift-DR: The Data Register is shifted by the TCK input, shifting out the result of the previous
command and shifting in the new command
• Update-DR: The programming command is applied to the Flash inputs
• Run-Test/Idle: One clock cycle is generated, executing the applied command
30.9.5 PROG_PAGELOAD (0x6)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to directly load the Flash data page via the JTAG port.
An 8-bit Flash Data Byte Register is selected as the Data Register. This is physically the eight
LSBs of the Programming Command Register. The active states are the following:
• Shift-DR: The Flash Data Byte Register is shifted by the TCK input
• Update-DR: The content of the Flash Data Byte Register is copied into a temporary register.
A write sequence is initiated that within 11 TCK cycles loads the content of the temporary
register into the Flash page buffer. The AVR automatically alternates between writing the low
and the high byte for each new Update-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first
Update-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGELOAD command. The Program
Counter is pre-incriminated before writing the low byte, except for the first written byte. This
ensures that the first data is written to the address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and
loading the last location in the page buffer does not make the program counter increment into
the next page
30.9.6 PROG_PAGEREAD (0x7)
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to directly capture the Flash content via the JTAG port.
An 8-bit Flash Data Byte Register is selected as the Data Register. This is physically the 8 LSBs
of the Programming Command Register. The active states are the following:
• Capture-DR: The content of the selected Flash byte is captured into the Flash Data Byte
Register. The AVR automatically alternates between reading the low and the high byte for
each new Capture-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first Capture-DR encountered
after entering the PROG_PAGEREAD command. The Program Counter is post-incremented
after reading each high byte, including the first read byte. This ensures that the first data is
captured from the first address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and reading the last location
in the page makes the program counter increment into the next page
• Shift-DR: The Flash Data Byte Register is shifted by the TCK input
30.9.7 Data Registers
The Data Registers are selected by the JTAG instruction registers described in section “Programming
specific JTAG instructions” on page 377. The Data Registers relevant for
programming operations are:
• Reset Register
• Programming Enable Register
• Programming Command Register
• Flash Data Byte Register380
7593L–AVR–09/12
AT90USB64/128
30.9.8 Reset Register
The Reset Register is a Test Data Register used to reset the part during programming. It is
required to reset the part before entering Programming mode.
A high value in the Reset Register corresponds to pulling the external reset low. The part is reset
as long as there is a high value present in the Reset Register. Depending on the Fuse settings
for the clock options, the part will remain reset for a Reset Time-out period (refer to “Clock
sources” on page 41) after releasing the Reset Register. The output from this Data Register is
not latched, so the reset will take place immediately, as shown in Figure 9-1 on page 58.
30.9.9 Programming Enable Register
The Programming Enable Register is a 16-bit register. The contents of this register is compared
to the programming enable signature, binary code 0b1010_0011_0111_0000. When the contents
of the register is equal to the programming enable signature, programming via the JTAG
port is enabled. The register is reset to 0 on Power-on Reset, and should always be reset when
leaving Programming mode.
Figure 30-13. Programming enable register.
30.9.10 Programming Command Register
The Programming Command Register is a 15-bit register. This register is used to serially shift in
programming commands, and to serially shift out the result of the previous command, if any. The
JTAG Programming Instruction Set is shown in Table 30-17 on page 382. The state sequence
when shifting in the programming commands is illustrated in Figure 30-15 on page 385.

Figure 30-15. State machine sequence for changing/reading the data word.
30.9.11 Flash Data Byte Register
The Flash Data Byte Register provides an efficient way to load the entire Flash page buffer
before executing Page Write, or to read out/verify the content of the Flash. A state machine sets
up the control signals to the Flash and senses the strobe signals from the Flash, thus only the
data words need to be shifted in/out.
The Flash Data Byte Register actually consists of the 8-bit scan chain and a 8-bit temporary register.
During page load, the Update-DR state copies the content of the scan chain over to the
temporary register and initiates a write sequence that within 11 TCK cycles loads the content of
the temporary register into the Flash page buffer. The AVR automatically alternates between
writing the low and the high byte for each new Update-DR state, starting with the low byte for the
first Update-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGELOAD command. The Program
Counter is pre-incremented before writing the low byte, except for the first written byte. This
ensures that the first data is written to the address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and loading
the last location in the page buffer does not make the Program Counter increment into the next
page.
During Page Read, the content of the selected Flash byte is captured into the Flash Data Byte
Register during the Capture-DR state. The AVR automatically alternates between reading the
low and the high byte for each new Capture-DR state, starting with the low byte for the first CapTest-logic-reset

ture-DR encountered after entering the PROG_PAGEREAD command. The Program Counter is
post-incremented after reading each high byte, including the first read byte. This ensures that
the first data is captured from the first address set up by PROG_COMMANDS, and reading the
last location in the page makes the program counter increment into the next page.
Figure 30-16. Flash Data Byte Register.
The state machine controlling the Flash Data Byte Register is clocked by TCK. During normal
operation in which eight bits are shifted for each Flash byte, the clock cycles needed to navigate
through the TAP controller automatically feeds the state machine for the Flash Data Byte Register
with sufficient number of clock pulses to complete its operation transparently for the user.
However, if too few bits are shifted between each Update-DR state during page load, the TAP
controller should stay in the Run-Test/Idle state for some TCK cycles to ensure that there are at
least 11 TCK cycles between each Update-DR state.

Notes: 1. In Atmel AT90USB64/128, this parameter is characterized and not 100% tested.
2. Required only for fSCL >100kHz.
3. Cb = capacitance of one bus line in pF.
4. fCK = CPU clock frequency
5. This requirement applies to all AT90USB64/128 2-wire Serial Interface operation. Other devices connected to the 2-wire
Serial Bus need only obey the general fSCL requirement.
6. The actual low period generated by the AT90USB64/128 2-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus fCK must be greater
than 6MHz for the low time requirement to be strictly met at fSCL = 100kHz.
7. The actual low period generated by the AT90USB64/128 2-wire Serial Interface is (1/fSCL - 2/fCK), thus the low time requirement
will not be strictly met for fSCL > 308kHz when fCK = 8MHz. Still, AT90USB64/128 devices connected to the bus may
communicate at full speed (400kHz) with other AT90USB64/128 devices, as well as any other device with a proper tLOW
acceptance margin.

32. Atmel AT90USB64/128 typical characteristics
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock
source.
All Active- and Idle current consumption measurements are done with all bits in the PRR registers
set and thus, the corresponding I/O modules are turned off. Also the Analog Comparator is
disabled during these measurements.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating
frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature.
The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL×VCC×f
where CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O
pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.405

Note: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O registers within the address range $00 - $1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these registers,
the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instructions will operate on
all bits in the I/O register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions
work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses $00 - $3F must be used. When addressing I/O registers
as data space using LD and ST instructions, $20 must be added to these addresses. The Atmel AT90USB64/128 is a
complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location reserved in Opcode for the
IN and OUT instructions. For the Extended I/O space from $60 - $1FF in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD

Notes: 1. A blank or any alphanumeric string.
37.1.2 AT90USB1287/6 first release
• Incorrect CPU behavior for VBUSTI and IDTI interrupts routines
• USB Eye Diagram violation in low-speed mode
• Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates over consumption
• VBUS Session valid threshold voltage
• USB signal rate
• VBUS residual level
• Spike on TWI pins when TWI is enabled
• High current consumption in sleep mode
• Async timer interrupt wake up from sleep generate multiple interrupts
9. Incorrect CPU behavior for VBUSTI and IDTI interrupts routines
The CPU core may incorrectly execute the interrupt vector related to the VBUSTI and IDTI
interrupt flags.
Problem fix/workaround
Do not enable these interrupts, firmware must process these USB events by polling VBUSTI
and IDTI flags.
8. USB Eye Diagram violation in low-speed mode
The low to high transition of D- violates the USB eye diagram specification when transmitting
with low-speed signaling.
Problem fix/workaround
None.
7. Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates overconsumption
In device mode and when the USB is suspended, transient perturbation received on the
USB lines generates a wake up state. However the idle state following the perturbation does

not set the SUSPI bit anymore. The internal USB engine remains in suspend mode but the
USB differential receiver is still enabled and generates a typical 300µA extra-power consumption.
Detection of the suspend state after the transient perturbation should be
performed by software (instead of reading the SUSPI bit).
Problem fix/workaround
USB waiver allows bus powered devices to consume up to 2.5mA in suspend state.
6. VBUS session valid threshold voltage
The VSession valid threshold voltage is internally connected to VBus_Valid (4.4V approx.).
That causes the device to attach to the bus only when Vbus is greater than VBusValid
instead of V_Session Valid. Thus if VBUS is lower than 4.4V, the device is detached.
Problem fix/workaround
According to the USB power drop budget, this may require connecting the device toa root
hub or a self-powered hub.
5. UBS signal rate
The average USB signal rate may sometime be measured out of the USB specifications
(12MHz ±30kHz) with short frames. When measured on a long period, the average signal
rate value complies with the specifications. This bit rate deviation does not generates communication
or functional errors.
Problem fix/workaround
None.
4. VBUS residual level
In USB device and host mode, once a 5V level has been detected to the VBUS pad, a residual
level (about 3V) can be measured on the VBUS pin.
Problem fix/workaround
None.
3. Spike on TWI pins when TWI is enabled
100ns negative spike occurs on SDA and SCL pins when TWI is enabled.
Problem fix/workaround
No known workaround, enable Atmel AT90USB64/128 TWI first versus the others nodes of
the TWI network.
2. High current consumption in sleep mode
If a pending interrupt cannot wake the part up from the selected mode, the current consumption
will increase during sleep when executing the SLEEP instruction directly after a SEI
instruction.
Problem fix/workaround
Before entering sleep, interrupts not used to wake up the part from the sleep mode should
be disabled.436

1. Asynchronous timer interrupt wake up from sleep generates multiple interrupts
If the CPU core is in sleep and wakes-up from an asynchronous timer interrupt and then go
back in sleep again it may wake up multiple times.
Problem fix/workaround
A software workaround is to wait with performing the sleep instruction until

• Incorrect CPU behavior for VBUSTI and IDTI interrupts routines
• Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates over consumption
• Spike on TWI pins when TWI is enabled
• High current consumption in sleep mode
• Async timer interrupt wake up from sleep generate multiple interrupts
5. Incorrect CPU behavior for VBUSTI and IDTI interrupts routines
The CPU core may incorrectly execute the interrupt vector related to the VBUSTI and IDTI
interrupt flags.
Problem fix/workaround
Do not enable these interrupts, firmware must process these USB events by polling VBUSTI
and IDTI flags.
4. Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates overconsumption
In device mode and when the USB is suspended, transient perturbation received on the
USB lines generates a wake up state. However the idle state following the perturbation does
not set the SUSPI bit. The internal USB engine remains in suspend mode but the USB differential
receiver is still enabled and generates a typical 300µA extra-power consumption.
Detection of the suspend state after the transient perturbation should be performed by software
(instead of reading the SUSPI bit).
Problem fix/workaround
USB waiver allows bus powered devices to consume up to 2.5mA in suspend state.
3. Spike on TWI pins when TWI is enabled
100ns negative spike occurs on SDA and SCL pins when TWI is enabled.
Problem fix/workaround
No known workaround, enable AT90USB64/128 TWI first, before the others nodes of the
TWI network.
2. High current consumption in sleep mode
If a pending interrupt cannot wake the part up from the selected mode, the current consumption
will increase during sleep when executing the SLEEP instruction directly after a SEI
instruction.
Problem fix/workaround
Before entering sleep, interrupts not used to wake up the part from sleep mode should be
disabled.
1. Asynchronous timer interrupt wake up from sleep generates multiple interrupts
If the CPU core is in sleep mode and wakes-up from an asynchronous timer interrupt and
then goes back into sleep mode, it may wake up multiple times.440

37.2.1 AT90USB646/7 errata history TBD
Note ‘*’ means a blank or any alphanumeric string.
37.2.2 AT90USB646/7 first release.
• Incorrect interrupt routine execution for VBUSTI, IDTI interrupts flags
• USB Eye Diagram violation in low-speed mode
• Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates over consumption
• Spike on TWI pins when TWI is enabled
• High current consumption in sleep mode
• Async timer interrupt wake up from sleep generate multiple interrupts
6. Incorrect CPU behavior for VBUSTI and IDTI interrupts routines
The CPU core may incorrectly execute the interrupt vector related to the VBUSTI and IDTI
interrupt flags.
Problem fix/workaround
Do not enable these interrupts, firmware must process these USB events by polling VBUSTI
and IDTI flags.
5. USB Eye Diagram violation in low-speed mode
The low to high transition of D- violates the USB eye diagram specification when transmitting
with low-speed signaling.
Problem fix/workaround
None.
4. Transient perturbation in USB suspend mode generates overconsumption
In device mode and when the USB is suspended, transient perturbation received on the
USB lines generates a wake up state. However the idle state following the perturbation does
not set the SUSPI bit anymore. The internal USB engine remains in suspend mode but the
USB differential receiver is still enabled and generates a typical 300µA extra-power consumption.
Detection of the suspend state after the transient perturbation should be
performed by software (instead of reading the SUSPI bit).
Problem fix/workaround

Digital supply voltage.
1.1.2 GND
Ground.
1.1.3 Port B (PB7:0) XTAL1/XTAL2/TOSC1/TOSC2
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the inverting Oscillator
amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the inverting
Oscillator amplifier.
If the Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB7..6 is used as TOSC2..1
input for the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.
The various special features of Port B are elaborated in “Alternate functions of port B” on page
78 and “System clock and clock options” on page 27.
1.1.4 Port C (PC5:0)
Port C is a 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
PC5..0 output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
1.1.5 PC6/RESET
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin. Note that the electrical characteristics
of PC6 differ from those of the other pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on this pin
for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running.
The minimum pulse length is given in Table 29-3 on page 307. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed
to generate a Reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated in “Alternate functions of port C” on page
81.
1.1.6 Port D (PD7:0)
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port D output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up4
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
resistors are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
The various special features of Port D are elaborated in “Alternate functions of port D” on page
84.
1.1.7 AVCC
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, PC3:0, and ADC7:6. It should be externally
connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC
through a low-pass filter. Note that PC6..4 use digital supply voltage, VCC.
1.1.8 AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
1.1.9 ADC7:6 (TQFP and QFN/MLF package only)
In the TQFP and QFN/MLF package, ADC7:6 serve as analog inputs to the A/D converter.
These pins are powered from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit ADC channels.5

2. Overview
The Atmel ATmega48/88/168 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the
ATmega48/88/168 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system
designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
2.1 Block diagram
Figure 2-1. Block diagram.
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the
32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting

architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional
CISC microcontrollers.
The Atmel ATmega48/88/168 provides the following features: 4K/8K/16K bytes of In-System
Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 256/512/512 bytes EEPROM,
512/1K/1K bytes SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers,
three flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable
USART, a byte-oriented 2-wire Serial Interface, an SPI serial port, a 6-channel 10-bit
ADC (8 channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages), a programmable Watchdog Timer with
internal Oscillator, and five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the
CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, USART, 2-wire Serial Interface, SPI port, and
interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but
freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset.
In Power-save mode, the asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a
timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the
CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during
ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest
of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low power consumption.
Atmel offers the QTouch Library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels
functionality into AVR microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers
robust sensing and includes fully debounced reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key
Suppression® (AKS®) technology for unambigiuous detection of key events. The easy-to-use
QTouch Suite toolchain allows you to explore, develop and debug your own touch applications.
The device is manufactured using the Atmel high density non-volatile memory technology. The
On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI
serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip Boot program
running on the AVR core. The Boot program can use any interface to download the
application program in the Application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash section will
continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write
operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a
monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega48/88/168 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly
flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega48/88/168 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators, In-Circuit Emulators,
and Evaluation kits.

Reliability Qualification results show that the projected data retention failure rate is much less
than 1 PPM over 20 years at 85°C or 100 years at 25°C.
5. About code examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of
the device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before
compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files
and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI”
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically
“LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”.
6. Capacitive touch sensing
The Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces
on most Atmel AVR microcontrollers. The QTouch Library includes support for the QTouch and
QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate Atmel QTouch Library
for the AVR Microcontroller. This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels
and sensors, and then calling the touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information
and determine the touch sensor states.
The QTouch Library is FREE and downloadable from the Atmel website at the following location:
www.atmel.com/qtouchlibrary. For implementation details and other information, refer to the
Atmel QTouch Library User Guide - also available for download from the Atmel website.9

7. AVR CPU core
7.1 Overview
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core
is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories,
perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.
7.2 Architectural overview
Figure 7-1. Block diagram of the AVR architecture.
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with
separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are
executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction
is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed
in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.

ATmega48/88/168
The fast-access Register File contains 32 × 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical
ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data
Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers
can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program memory. These
added function registers are the 16-bit X-register, Y-register, and Z-register, described later in
this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and
a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation,
the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to
directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format.
Every program memory address contains a 16-bit or 32-bit instruction.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot Program section and the
Application Program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock bits for write and read/write
protection. The SPM instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory section must
reside in the Boot Program section.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the Stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The Stack
Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed
through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the
Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position.
The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers,
SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data
Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F. In addition, the
ATmega48/88/168 has Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM where only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
7.3 ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose
working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose
registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some implementations of the
architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication
and fractional format. See “Instruction set summary” on page 347 for a detailed description.11
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
7.4 Status register
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic
instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as
specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the
dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored
when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
7.4.1 SREG – AVR Status Register
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:
• Bit 7 – I: Global interrupt enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt
enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable
Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt
enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by
the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by
the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit copy storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination
for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half carry flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. Half Carry Is useful
in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s complement overflow flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction
Set Description” for detailed information.

• Bit 0 – C: Carry flag
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set
Description” for detailed information.
7.5 General purpose register file
The register file is optimized for the AVR enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to achieve the
required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the
register file:
• One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Figure 7-2 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.
Figure 7-2. AVR CPU general purpose working registers.
Most of the instructions operating on the register file have direct access to all registers, and most
of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 7-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented
as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the file.

7.5.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers
are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect
address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3. The X-, Y-, and Z-registers.
In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement,
automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
7.6 Stack pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing
return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points
to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations
to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack
Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above 0x0100, preferably RAMEND. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data
is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the
return address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is
incremented by one when data is popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented
by two when data is popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return
from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of
bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations
of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register
will not be present.

7.7 Instruction execution timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR
CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the
chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 7-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.
Figure 7-4. The parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions.
Figure 7-5 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle an ALU
operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back to the destination
register.

7.8 Reset and interrupt handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are
assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together with the Global Interrupt
Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt. Depending on the Program
Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12
are programmed. This feature improves software security. See the section “Memory programming”
on page 285 for details.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and
Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 56. The list also
determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the
priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request
0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL
bit in the MCU Control Register (MCUCR). Refer to “Interrupts” on page 56 for more information.
The Reset Vector can also be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by programming the
BOOTRST Fuse, see “Boot loader support – Read-while-write self-programming, Atmel
ATmega88 and Atmel ATmega168” on page 269.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled.
The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled
interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a
Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the
Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector
in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding
Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s)
to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is
cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared, the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the
Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These
interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one
more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled.
No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the
CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the
timed EEPROM write sequence.16
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed
before any pending interrupts, as shown in this example.
7.8.1 Interrupt response time
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles minimum.
After four clock cycles the program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine
is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the Program Counter is pushed onto the Stack.
The vector is normally a jump to the interrupt routine, and this jump takes three clock cycles. If
an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is completed
before the interrupt is served. If an interrupt occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt
execution response time is increased by four clock cycles. This increase comes in addition to the
start-up time from the selected sleep mode.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock
cycles, the Program Counter (two bytes) is popped back from the Stack, the Stack Pointer is
incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG is set.

12.3 Interrupt vectors in Atmel ATmega88
Notes: 1. When the BOOTRST fuse is programmed, the device will jump to the boot loader address at
reset, see “Boot loader support – Read-while-write self-programming, Atmel ATmega88 and
Atmel ATmega168” on page 269.
2. When the IVSEL bit in MCUCR is set, interrupt vectors will be moved to the start of the boot
flash section. The address of each Interrupt Vector will then be the address in this table added
to the start address of the boot flash section.
Table 12-3 on page 59 shows reset and interrupt vectors placement for the various combinations
of BOOTRST and IVSEL settings. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the
Interrupt Vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. This
is also the case if the reset vector is in the application section while the interrupt vectors are in
the boot section or vice versa.

Table 12-5 shows reset and interrupt vectors placement for the various combinations of
BOOTRST and IVSEL settings. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the interrupt
vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. This is also
the case if the reset vector is in the application section while the interrupt vectors are in the boot
section or vice versa.
Note: 1. The boot reset address is shown in Table 27-6 on page 281. For the BOOTRST fuse “1”
means unprogrammed while “0” means programmed.
The most typical and general program setup for the reset and interrupt vector addresses in
ATmega168 is:

12.4.1 Moving interrupts between application and boot space, Atmel ATmega88 and Atmel ATmega168
The MCU control register controls the placement of the interrupt vector table.
12.5 Register description
12.5.1 MCUCR – MCU control register
• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt vector select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the interrupt vectors are placed at the start of the flash
memory. When this bit is set (one), the interrupt vectors are moved to the beginning of the boot
loader section of the flash. The actual address of the start of the boot flash section is determined
by the BOOTSZ fuses. Refer to the section “Boot loader support – Read-while-write self-programming,
Atmel ATmega88 and Atmel ATmega168” on page 269 for details. To avoid
unintentional changes of interrupt vector tables, a special write procedure must be followed to
change the IVSEL bit:
a. Write the interrupt vector change enable (IVCE) bit to one.
b. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE.
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled
in the cycle IVCE is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to
IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, interrupts remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the status
register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.
Note: If interrupt vectors are placed in the boot loader section and boot lock bit BLB02 is programmed,
interrupts are disabled while executing from the Application section. If interrupt vectors are placed
in the Application section and boot lock bit BLB12 is programmed, interrupts are disabled while
executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to the section “Boot loader support – Read-whilewrite
self-programming, Atmel ATmega88 and Atmel ATmega168” on page 269 for details on
Boot Lock bits.

• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt vector change enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by
hardware four cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable
interrupts, as explained in the IVSEL description above. See code example below.

ori r16, (1< CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock
cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system
clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
17.0.3 External clock source
An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock
(clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization
logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 17-1
shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization and edge detector
logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch
is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative
(CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.
Figure 17-1. T1/T0 pin sampling.
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the T1/T0 pin to the counter is updated.

2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least
one system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system
clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses
sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency
(Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency
and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is
recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

17.1 Register description
17.1.1 GTCCR – General timer/counter control register
• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/counter synchronization mode
Writing the TSM bit to one activates the Timer/Counter Synchronization mode. In this mode, the
value that is written to the PSRASY and PSRSYNC bits is kept, hence keeping the corresponding
prescaler reset signals asserted. This ensures that the corresponding Timer/Counters are
halted and can be configured to the same value without the risk of one of them advancing during
configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSRASY and PSRSYNC bits are cleared
by hardware, and the Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.
• Bit 0 – PSRSYNC: Prescaler reset
When this bit is one, Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 prescaler will be Reset. This bit is normally
cleared immediately by hardware, except if the TSM bit is set. Note that Timer/Counter1
and Timer/Counter0 share the same prescaler and a reset of this prescaler will affect both
timers.

18.2 Overview
Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single channel, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. A simplified
block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 18-1. For the actual placement of
I/O pins, refer to “Pinout Atmel ATmega48/88/168.” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers,
including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations
are listed in the “Register description” on page 153.

18.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2A and OCR2B) are 8-bit registers.
Interrupt request (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag
Register (TIFR2). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register
(TIMSK2). TIFR2 and TIMSK2 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from
the TOSC1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by
the Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR). The Clock Select logic block controls which clock
source he Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive
when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the
timer clock (clkT2).
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2A and OCR2B) are compared with the
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator
to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pins (OC2A and
OC2B). See “Output compare unit” on page 142. for details. The compare match event will also
set the Compare Flag (OCF2A or OCF2B) which can be used to generate an Output Compare
interrupt request.
18.2.2 Definitions
Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower case “n”
replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used, that is, TCNT2 for accessing
Timer/Counter2 counter value and so on.
The definitions in Table 18-1 are also used extensively throughout the section.
18.3 Timer/counter clock sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous
clock source. The clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS2
bit in the ASSR Register is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter
Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For details on asynchronous operation, see “ASSR
– Asynchronous status register” on page 159. For details on clock sources and prescaler, see
“Timer/counter prescaler” on page 152.
18.4 Counter unit
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure
18-2 on page 142 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.
Table 18-1. Definitions.
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF
(MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2A Register. The assignment is dependent
on the mode of operation.142

clear Clear TCNT2 (set all bits to zero).
clkTn Timer/Counter clock, referred to as clkT2 in the following.
top Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached maximum value.
bottom Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero).
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal clock source,
selected by the Clock Select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is selected (CS22:0 = 0) the
timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or
count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits located in
the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2A) and the WGM22 located in the Timer/Counter
Control Register B (TCCR2B). There are close connections between how the counter behaves
(counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC2A and OC2B.
For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of
operation” on page 145.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set according to the mode of operation selected by
the WGM22:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
18.5 Output compare unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register
(OCR2A and OCR2B). Whenever TCNT2 equals OCR2A or OCR2B, the comparator signals a
match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag (OCF2A or OCF2B) at the next timer clock
cycle. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the Output Compare Flag generates an Output
Compare interrupt. The Output Compare Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed.
Alternatively, the Output Compare Flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical
one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to generate an output
according to operating mode set by the WGM22:0 bits and Compare Output mode (COM2x1:0)
bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special
cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (“Modes of operation” on page 145).
Figure 18-3 on page 143 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit.

Figure 18-3. Output compare unit, block diagram.
The OCR2x Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double
buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR2x Compare
Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR2x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering
is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR2x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is disabled
the CPU will access the OCR2x directly.
18.5.1 Force output compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by
writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC2x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the
OCF2x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC2x pin will be updated as if a real compare
match had occurred (the COM2x1:0 bits settings define whether the OC2x pin is set, cleared or
toggled).
18.5.2 Compare match blocking by TCNT2 write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any compare match that occurs in the
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR2x to be initialized
to the same value as TCNT2 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is
enabled.
18.5.3 Using the output compare unit
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock
cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the Output Compare channel,
independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT2
equals the OCR2x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is
downcounting.

The setup of the OC2x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC2x value is to use the Force Output Compare
(FOC2x) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC2x Register keeps its value even when
changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be aware that the COM2x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the COM2x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.
18.6 Compare match output unit
The Compare Output mode (COM2x1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator uses
the COM2x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC2x) state at the next compare match.
Also, the COM2x1:0 bits control the OC2x pin output source. Figure 18-4 shows a simplified
schematic of the logic affected by the COM2x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O
pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers
(DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM2x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the
OC2x state, the reference is for the internal OC2x Register, not the OC2x pin.
Figure 18-4. Compare match output unit, schematic.
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2x) from the Waveform
Generator if either of the COM2x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC2x pin direction (input or output)
is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction
Register bit for the OC2x pin (DDR_OC2x) must be set as output before the OC2x value is visible
on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC2x state before the output
is enabled. Note that some COM2x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of
operation. See “Register description” on page 153.

18.6.1 Compare output mode and waveform generation
The Waveform Generator uses the COM2x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.
For all modes, setting the COM2x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the
OC2x Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in the
non-PWM modes refer to Table 18-5 on page 154. For fast PWM mode, refer to Table 18-6 on
page 155, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 18-7 on page 155.
A change of the COM2x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are
written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
FOC2x strobe bits.
18.7 Modes of operation
The mode of operation, that is, the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins,
is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM22:0) and Compare Output
mode (COM2x1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence,
while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM2x1:0 bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes
the COM2x1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a compare
match (See “Compare match output unit” on page 144.).
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/counter timing diagrams” on page 149.
18.7.1 Normal mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM22:0 = 0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply
overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom
(0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) will be set in the same
timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The TOV2 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth
bit, except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt
that automatically clears the TOV2 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software.
There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written
anytime.
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will
occupy too much of the CPU time.
18.7.2 Clear timer on compare match (CTC) mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM22:0 = 2), the OCR2A Register is used to
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter
value (TCNT2) matches the OCR2A. The OCR2A defines the top value for the counter, hence
also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 18-5 on page 146. The counter value
(TCNT2) increases until a compare match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2A, and then counter
(TCNT2) is cleared.146

Figure 18-5. CTC mode, timing diagram.
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the
OCF2A Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating
the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running
with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not
have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR2A is lower than the current
value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to
its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around starting at 0x00 before the compare match can
occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2A output can be set to toggle its logical
level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM2A1:0 = 1). The OC2A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for
the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC2A =
fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the
counter counts from MAX to 0x00.
18.7.3 Fast PWM mode
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM22:0 = 3 or 7) provides a high frequency
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by
its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR2A when MGM2:0 = 7. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2x) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT2 and OCR2x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the output
is set on compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the
operating frequency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM
mode that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited
for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.

In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the TOP value.
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast
PWM mode is shown in Figure 18-6. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare
matches between OCR2x and TCNT2.
Figure 18-6. Fast PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the compare value.
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2x pin.
Setting the COM2x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output
can be generated by setting the COM2x1:0 to three. TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3,
and OCR2A when MGM2:0 = 7. (See Table 18-3 on page 154). The actual OC2x value will only
be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform
is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC2x Register at the compare match between
OCR2x and TCNT2, and clearing (or setting) the OC2x Register at the timer clock cycle the
counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will
be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR2A equal to MAX will result
in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM2A1:0
bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting
OC2x to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM2x1:0 = 1). The waveform

generated will have a maximum frequency of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2A is set to zero. This feature
is similar to the OC2A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output
Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
18.7.4 Phase correct PWM mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM22:0 = 1 or 5) provides a high resolution phase correct
PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM.
TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR2A when MGM2:0 = 7. In noninverting
Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2x) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT2 and OCR2x while upcounting, and set on the compare match while downcounting.
In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has
lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches TOP.
When the counter reaches TOP, it changes the count direction. The TCNT2 value will be equal
to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown
on Figure 18-7. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating
the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The
small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes represent compare matches between OCR2x
and TCNT2.
Figure 18-7. Phase correct PWM mode, timing diagram.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The
Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM
value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the
OC2x pin. Setting the COM2x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM

output can be generated by setting the COM2x1:0 to three. TOP is defined as 0xFF when
WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR2A when MGM2:0 = 7 (See Table 18-4 on page 154). The actual OC2x
value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The
PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC2x Register at the compare match
between OCR2x and TCNT2 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC2x
Register at compare match between OCR2x and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The
PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following
equation:
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2A Register represent special cases when generating a PWM
waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2A is set equal to BOTTOM, the
output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for
non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 18-7 on page 148 OCnx has a transition from high to low
even though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.
• OCR2A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 18-7 on page 148. When the OCR2A value
is MAX the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting compare match. To
ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result of an
up-counting Compare Match
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the way
up
18.8 Timer/counter timing diagrams
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT2)
is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by
the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are
set. Figure 18-8 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the
count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

18.9 Asynchronous operation of Timer/Counter2
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of
Timer/Counter2, the Timer Registers TCNT2, OCR2x, and TCCR2x might be corrupted. A safe
procedure for switching clock source is:
a. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2x and TOIE2.
b. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate.
c. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2x, and TCCR2x.
d. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2xUB, OCR2xUB, and TCR2xUB.
e. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags.
f. Enable interrupts, if needed.
• The CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times the Oscillator frequency
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2x, or TCCR2x, the value is transferred to a
temporary register, and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not write
a new value before the contents of the temporary register have been transferred to its
destination. Each of the five mentioned registers have their individual temporary register, which
means that, for example, writing to TCNT2 does not disturb an OCR2x write in progress. To
detect that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the Asynchronous Status
Register – ASSR has been implemented
• When entering Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode after having written to TCNT2,
OCR2x, or TCCR2x, the user must wait until the written register has been updated if
Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will enter sleep mode
before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if any of the Output Compare2
interrupt is used to wake up the device, since the Output Compare function is disabled during
writing to OCR2x or TCNT2. If the write cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode
before the corresponding OCR2xUB bit returns to zero, the device will never receive a
compare match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up
• If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction
mode, precautions must be taken if the user wants to re-enter one of these modes: If reentering
sleep mode within the TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will immidiately occur and the
device wake up again. The result is multiple interrupts and wake-ups within one TOSC1 cycle
from the first interrupt. If the user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering Power-save or
ADC Noise Reduction mode is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to ensure that
one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:
a. Write a value to TCCR2x, TCNT2, or OCR2x.
b. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.
c. Enter Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode.
• When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768kHz Oscillator for Timer/Counter2 is
always running, except in Power-down and Standby modes. After a Power-up Reset or wakeup
from Power-down or Standby mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this Oscillator
might take as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at least one
second before using Timer/Counter2 after power-up or wake-up from Power-down or Standby
mode. The contents of all Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost after a wake-up
from Power-down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon start-up, no matter
whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin152
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
• Description of wake up from Power-save or ADC Noise Reduction mode when the timer is
clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up process is started
on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the timer is always advanced by at least one
before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four
cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction following
SLEEP
• Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an incorrect
result. Since TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading TCNT2 must be
done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain. Synchronization takes
place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When waking up from Power-save mode, and the I/O clock
(clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will read as the previous value (before entering sleep)
until the next rising TOSC1 edge. The phase of the TOSC clock after waking up from Powersave
mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The recommended
procedure for reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:
a. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2x or TCCR2x.
b. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.
c. Read TCNT2.
During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the asynchronous
timer takes 3 processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore advanced by at least
one before the processor can read the timer value causing the setting of the Interrupt Flag. The
Output Compare pin is changed on the timer clock and is not synchronized to the processor
clock.

The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to the main
system I/O clock clkIO. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously
clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter
(RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from Port C. A crystal can
then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an independent clock
source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT2S/8, clkT2S/32, clkT2S/64,
clkT2S/128, clkT2S/256, and clkT2S/1024. Additionally, clkT2S as well as 0 (stop) may be selected.
Setting the PSRASY bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a
predictable prescaler.

18.11.1 TCCR2A – Timer/counter control register A
• Bits 7:6 – COM2A1:0: Compare match output A mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0
bits are set, the OC2A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC2A pin
must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the
WGM22:0 bit setting. Table 18-2 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits
are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

18.11.2 TCCR2B – Timer/counter control register B
• Bit 7 – FOC2A: Force output compare A
The FOC2A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when
TCCR2B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2A bit,
an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2A output is
changed according to its COM2A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2A bit is implemented as a
strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM2A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the
forced compare.
A FOC2A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using
OCR2A as TOP.
The FOC2A bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – FOC2B: Force output compare B
The FOC2B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when
TCCR2B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2B bit,
an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2B output is
changed according to its COM2B1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2B bit is implemented as a
strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM2B1:0 bits that determines the effect of the
forced compare.

The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Table

If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter0, transitions on the T0 pin will clock the
counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the
counting.
18.11.3 TCNT2 – Timer/counter register
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 Register blocks (removes) the Compare
Match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT2) while the counter is running,
introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between TCNT2 and the OCR2x Registers.

The Output Compare Register A contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC2A pin.
18.11.5 OCR2B – Output compare register B
The Output Compare Register B contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC2B pin.
18.11.6 TIMSK2 – Timer/Counter2 interrupt mask register
• Bit 2 – OCIE2B: Timer/Counter2 output compare match B interrupt enable
When the OCIE2B bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match B interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed
if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the OCF2B bit is set in the
Timer/Counter 2 Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR2.
• Bit 1 – OCIE2A: Timer/Counter2 output compare match A interrupt enable
When the OCIE2A bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match A interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed
if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the OCF2A bit is set in the
Timer/Counter 2 Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR2.
• Bit 0 – TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 overflow interrupt enable
When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if an
overflow in Timer/Counter2 occurs, that is, when the TOV2 bit is set in the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt
Flag Register – TIFR2.
18.11.7 TIFR2 – Timer/Counter2 interrupt flag register
• Bit 2 – OCF2B: Output compare flag 2 B
The OCF2B bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2B – Output Compare Register2. OCF2B is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2B is cleared by writing a logic
one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2B (Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt
Enable), and OCF2B are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.

The OCF2A bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2 and the
data in OCR2A – Output Compare Register2. OCF2A is cleared by hardware when executing
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2A is cleared by writing a logic

Enable), and OCF2A are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 0 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 overflow flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is cleared
by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2A (Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt
Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In
PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at 0x00.
18.11.8 ASSR – Asynchronous status register
• Bit 7 – RES: Reserved bit
This bit is reserved and will always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – EXCLK: Enable external clock input
When EXCLK is written to one, and asynchronous clock is selected, the external clock input buffer
is enabled and an external clock can be input on Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin instead of a
32kHz crystal. Writing to EXCLK should be done before asynchronous operation is selected.
Note that the crystal Oscillator will only run when this bit is zero.
• Bit 5 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O. When AS2 is
written to one, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator
1 (TOSC1) pin. When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2A,
OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B might be corrupted.
• Bit 4 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 update busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 3 – OCR2AUB: Output compare Register2 update busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2A is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 2 – OCR2BUB: Output compare Register2 update busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2B is written, this bit becomes set.
When OCR2B has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware.
A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2B is ready to be updated with a new value.

When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2A is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2A is ready to be updated with a new
value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2BUB: Timer/counter control Register2 update busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2B is written, this bit becomes set.
When TCCR2B has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2B is ready to be updated with a new
value.
If a write is performed to any of the five Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is
set, the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B are different.
When reading TCNT2, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A
and TCCR2B the value in the temporary storage register is read.
18.11.9 GTCCR – General timer/counter control register
• Bit 1 – PSRASY: Prescaler reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared
immediately by hardware. If the bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in asynchronous
mode, the bit will remain one until the prescaler has been reset. The bit will not be cleared by
hardware if the TSM bit is set. Refer to the description of the “Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/counter synchronization

19. SPI – Serial peripheral interface
19.1 Features • Full-duplex, three-wire synchronous data transfer
• Master or slave operation
• LSB first or MSB first data transfer
• Seven programmable bit rates
• End of transmission interrupt flag
• Write collision flag protection
• Wake-up from idle mode
• Double speed (CK/2) master SPI mode
19.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the
Atmel ATmega48/88/168 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices.
The USART can also be used in Master SPI mode, see “USART in SPI mode” on page 199. The
PRSPI bit in “Minimizing power consumption” on page 41 must be written to zero to enable SPI
module.162
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
Figure 19-1. SPI block diagram(1).
Note: 1. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 2, and Table 14-3 on page 78 for SPI pin placement.
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 19-2 on page
163. The system consists of two shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Master
initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the desired Slave.
Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift Registers, and the Master
generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted
from Master to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the
Master In – Slave Out, MISO, line. After each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave
by pulling high the Slave Select, SS, line.
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This
must be handled by user software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a
byte to the SPI Data Register starts the SPI clock generator, and the hardware shifts the eight
bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting the end of
Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR Register is set, an
interrupt is requested. The Master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or
signal the end of packet by pulling high the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be
kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long
as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI Data
Register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin
until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of Transmission SPI2X SPI2X

Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt
is requested. The Slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading
the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.
Figure 19-2. SPI master-slave interconnection.
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction.
This means that bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data Register before
the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, however, a received character must be
read from the SPI Data Register before the next character has been completely shifted in. Otherwise,
the first byte is lost.
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure
correct sampling of the clock signal, the minimum low and high periods should be:
Low periods: Longer than 2 CPU clock cycles.
High periods: Longer than 2 CPU clock cycles.
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden
according to Table 19-1. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to “Alternate port
functions” on page 76.
Note: See “Alternate functions of port B” on page 78 for a detailed description of how to define the direction
of the user defined SPI pins.
The following code examples show how to initialize the SPI as a Master and how to perform a
simple transmission. DDR_SPI in the examples must be replaced by the actual Data Direction
Register controlling the SPI pins. DD_MOSI, DD_MISO and DD_SCK must be replaced by the
actual data direction bits for these pins. For example if MOSI is placed on pin PB3, replace
DD_MOSI with DDB3 and DDR_SPI with DDRB.

20.7.3 Receive complete flag and interrupt
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the Receiver state.
The Receive Complete (RXCn) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the receive buffer.
This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero when the receive
buffer is empty (that is, does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled (RXENn =
0), the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXCn bit will become zero.
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIEn) in UCSRnB is set, the USART Receive
Complete interrupt will be executed as long as the RXCn Flag is set (provided that global interrupts
are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete routine
must read the received data from UDRn in order to clear the RXCn Flag, otherwise a new interrupt
will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.
20.7.4 Receiver error flags
The USART Receiver has three Error Flags: Frame Error (FEn), Data OverRun (DORn) and
Parity Error (UPEn). All can be accessed by reading UCSRnA. Common for the Error Flags is
that they are located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they indicate the
error status. Due to the buffering of the Error Flags, the UCSRnA must be read before the
receive buffer (UDRn), since reading the UDRn I/O location changes the buffer read location.
Another equality for the Error Flags is that they can not be altered by software doing a write to
the flag location. However, all flags must be set to zero when the UCSRnA is written for upward
compatibility of future USART implementations. None of the Error Flags can generate interrupts.
The Frame Error (FEn) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame
stored in the receive buffer. The FEn Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly read (as one),
and the FEn Flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This flag can be used for
detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling. The FEn
Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBSn bit in UCSRnC since the Receiver ignores all,
except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero
when writing to UCSRnA.
The Data OverRun (DORn) Flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. A
Data OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting
in the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DORn Flag is set there
was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from UDRn, and the next frame
read from UDRn. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing
to UCSRnA. The DORn Flag is cleared when the frame received was successfully moved from
the Shift Register to the receive buffer.
The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received. If Parity Check is not enabled the UPEn bit will always be read zero. For
compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRnA. For more
details see “Parity bit calculation” on page 176 and “Parity checker” on page 184.
20.7.5 Parity checker
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPMn1) bit is set. Type of Parity
Check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPMn0 bit. When enabled, the Parity
Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with
the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is stored in the receive buffer together
with the received data and stop bits. The Parity Error (UPEn) Flag can then be read by software
to check if the frame had a Parity Error.185
2545T–AVR–05/11
ATmega48/88/168
The UPEn bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a Parity
Error when received and the Parity Checking was enabled at that point (UPMn1 = 1). This bit is
valid until the receive buffer (UDRn) is read.
20.7.6 Disabling the receiver
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from ongoing
receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (that is, the RXENn is set to zero) the Receiver
will no longer override the normal function of the RxDn port pin. The Receiver buffer FIFO will be
flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer will be lost
20.7.7 Flushing the receive buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, that is, the buffer will be
emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal
operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDRn I/O location until the RXCn Flag
is cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the receive buffer.
Note: 1. See ”About code examples” on page 8.
20.8 Asynchronous data reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data
reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate
clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxDn pin. The data recovery logic samples
and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the
Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal
baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
20.8.1 Asynchronous clock recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 20-5
on page 186 illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample
rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double Speed
mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process.
Note the larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode (U2Xn = 1) of
operation. Samples denoted zero are samples done when the RxDn line is idle (that is, no communication
activity).

28.8.1 Serial programming pin mapping
28.8.2 Serial programming algorithm
When writing serial data to the Atmel ATmega48/88/168, data is clocked on the rising edge of
SCK.
When reading data from the ATmega48/88/168, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See
Figure 28-9 on page 302 for timing details.
To program and verify the ATmega48/88/168 in the serial programming mode, the following
sequence is recommended (See Serial Programming Instruction set in Table 28-17 on page
300):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems,
the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization.
When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third
byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all four
bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a
positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at a
time by supplying the 6 LSB of the address and data together with the Load Program
Memory Page instruction. To ensure correct loading of the page, the data low byte must
be loaded before data high byte is applied for a given address. The Program Memory
Page is stored by loading the Write Program Memory Page instruction with the 7 MSB of
the address. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before
issuing the next page (see Table 28-16 on page 300). Accessing the serial programming
interface before the Flash write operation completes can result in incorrect programming.
5. A: The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and
data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first
automatically erased before new data is written. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the
user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (see Table 28-16 on page
300). In a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
B: The EEPROM array is programmed one page at a time. The Memory page is loaded
one byte at a time by supplying the 6 LSB of the address and data together with the Load
EEPROM Memory Page instruction. The EEPROM Memory Page is stored by loading
the Write EEPROM Memory Page Instruction with the 7 MSB of the address. When using
EEPROM page access only byte locations loaded with the Load EEPROM Memory Page
instruction is altered. The remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling (RDY/BSY) is
not used, the used must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (See Table
Table 28-15. Pin mapping serial programming.

28-16 on page 300). In a chip erased device, no 0xFF in the data file(s) need to be
programmed.
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the content
at the selected address at serial output MISO.
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation.
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off.

29.5 System and reset characteristics
Note: 1. The power-on reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOT (falling).
Notes: 1. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where this is the case, the device is
tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees that a brown-out reset will occur before VCC drops to
a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is performed using
BODLEVEL = 110 and BODLEVEL = 101 for Atmel ATmega48V/88V/168V, and BODLEVEL = 101 and BODLEVEL = 100
for Atmel ATmega48/88/168.

30. Typical characteristics
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A square wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock
source.
All Active- and Idle current consumption measurements are done with all bits in the PRR register
set and thus, the corresponding I/O modules are turned off. Also the Analog Comparator is disabled
during these measurements. Table 30-1 on page 321 and Table 30-2 on page 321 show
the additional current consumption compared to ICC Active and ICC Idle for every I/O module controlled
by the Power Reduction Register. See “Power reduction register” on page 41 for details.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage, operating
frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient temperature.
The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where
CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
are controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See “Power reduction register” on page 41 for
details.

It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 30-2
on page 321 for other VCC and frequency settings than listed in Table 30-1 on page 321.
30.3.0.1 Example 1
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and TWI
enabled at VCC = 3.0V and F = 1MHz. From Table 30-2 on page 321, third column, we see that
we need to add 18% for the USART0, 26% for the TWI, and 11% for the TIMER1 module. Reading
from Figure 30-7 on page 318, we find that the idle current consumption is ~0.075mA at VCC
= 3.0V and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and
TWI enabled, gives:
30.3.0.2 Example 2
Same conditions as in example 1, but in active mode instead. From Table 30-2 on page 321,
second column we see that we need to add 3.3% for the USART0, 4.8% for the TWI, and 2.0%
for the TIMER1 module. Reading from Figure 30-1 on page 315, we find that the active current
consumption is ~0.42mA at VCC = 3.0V and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle
mode with USART0, TIMER1, and TWI enabled, gives:
30.3.0.3 Example 3
All I/O modules should be enabled. Calculate the expected current consumption in active mode
at VCC = 3.6V and F = 10MHz. We find the active current consumption without the I/O modules
to be ~ 4.0mA (from Figure 30-2 on page 316). Then, by using the numbers from Table 30-2 on
page 321 - second column, we find the total current consumption:
PRTIM1 2.0% 11%
PRTIM0 1.6% 8.5%
PRSPI 6.1% 33%
PRADC 4.9% 26%

Note: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
3. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When addressing I/O
Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The Atmel
ATmega48/88/168 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location
reserved in Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM, only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
5. Only valid for ATmega88/168
