Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
1. Description  
The Atmel® ATA5505 is an Atmel AVR® microcontroller with LF-RFID reader/writer front end  
and LIN interface for low cost network applications.  
The Atmel ATA5505 incorporates the energy-transfer circuit for supplying the transponder. It  
consists of an on-chip power supply, an oscillator, and a coil driver optimized for automo-  
tive-specific distances. It also includes all signal-processing circuits which are necessary to  
transform the small input signal into a microcontroller-compatible signal.  
The Atmel ATA5505 integrates a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the Atmel  
AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle,  
the ATA5505 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, allowing the system  
designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.  
The Atmel AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working regis-  
ters. All the 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 up to ten times faster  
than conventional CISC microcontrollers.  
The Atmel ATA5505 provides the following features: 16K byte of in-system programmable  
Flash, 512bytes EEPROM, 512bytes SRAM, 16 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, a universal serial interface, a LIN controller, internal and external interrupts, an  
11-channel, 10-bit ADC, 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/counter, ADC, analog comparator, and interrupt system to continue functioning.  
Power-down mode saves the register contents, disabling all chip functions until the next inter-  
rupt or hardware reset. To minimize switching noise during ADC conversions, ADC noise  
reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except ADC,  
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 via an SPI  
serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer or by an on-chip boot  
code running on the Atmel AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the  
application program in the Flash memory. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with in-system  
self-programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATA5505 is a powerful microcon-  
troller providing a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control  
applications.  
The Atmel ATA5505 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development  
tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debuggers/simulators, in-circuit  
emulators, and evaluation kits.

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 fea-  
tures of the microcontroller.

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 via an  
SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer or by an on-chip boot  
code running on the Atmel AVR® core. The boot program can use any interface to download  
the application program in the Flash memory. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-system

2. AVR CPU Core  
2.1  
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.

In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the Atmel AVR uses a Harvard architecture  
– with separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program mem-  
ory 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.  
11  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
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 Atmel® 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 pro-  
grams 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 Atmel  
AVR architecture.  
The memory spaces in the Atmel 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 Regis-  
ters, 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.  
2.2  
2.3  
ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit  
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 implemen-  
tations 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.  
Status Register  
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arith-  
metic 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 des-  
tination 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 use-  
ful 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 Atmel® AVR® Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to  
achieve the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are sup-  
ported 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

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 2-2, 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 imple-  
mented 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.  
2.4.1  
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 indi-  
rect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 2-3 on page 15.

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displace-  
ment, automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for  
details).  
2.5  
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 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 Atmel 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 2-4 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.

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 inter-  
rupts 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 Section 7. “Interrupts” on page 63.  
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.

2.7.1  
Interrupt behavior  
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are dis-  
abled. 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 correspond-  
ing 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 Atmel® 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 dis-  
abled. 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, 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<<EEMPE); /* start EEPROM write */  
EECR |= (1<<EEPE);  
SREG = cSREG; /* restore SREG value (I-bit) */  
17  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be exe-  
cuted before any pending interrupts, as shown in this example.  
Assembly Code Example  
sei  
; set Global Interrupt Enable  
sleep  
; enter sleep, waiting for interrupt  
; note: will enter sleep before any pending  
; interrupt(s)  
C Code Example  
_SEI();  
/* set Global Interrupt Enable */  
_SLEEP(); /* enter sleep, waiting for interrupt */  
/* note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s) */  
2.7.2  
Interrupt Response Time  
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled Atmel® 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.

3. Atmel AVR Memories  
This section describes the different memories in the Atmel® AVR®. The Atmel AVR architec-  
ture has two main memory spaces, the Data memory and the Program memory space. In  
addition, the Atmel AVR features an EEPROM Memory for data storage. All three memory  
spaces are linear and regular.

In-System Re-programmable Flash Program Memory  
The Atmel AVR contains On-chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory for program  
storage (see “Flash size” in Table 3-1 on page 19). Since all Atmel AVR instructions are 16 or  
32 bits wide, the Flash is organized as 16 bits wide. Atmel AVR does not have separate Boot  
Loader and Application Program sections, and the SPM instruction can be executed from the  
entire Flash. See SELFPRGEN description in Section 21.2.1 “Store Program Memory Control  
and Status Register – SPMCSR” on page 230 for more details.  
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles in automotive  
range. The Atmel AVR Program Counter (PC) address the program memory locations. Sec-  
tion 22. “Memory Programming” on page 236 contains a detailed description on Flash data  
serial downloading using the SPI pins.  
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire Program memory address space (see the  
LPM – Load Program memory instruction description).

3.2  
SRAM Data Memory  
Figure 3-2 shows how the Atmel® AVR® SRAM Memory is organized.  
The Atmel AVR is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported  
within the 64 locations reserved in the Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the  
Extended I/O space in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be  
used.  
The data memory locations address both the Register File, the I/O memory, Extended I/O  
memory, and the internal data SRAM. The first 32 locations address the Register File, the next  
64 location the standard I/O memory, then 160 locations of Extended I/O memory, and the  
next locations address the internal data SRAM (see “ISRAM size” in Table 3-1 on page 19).  
The five different addressing modes for the Data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Displace-  
ment, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement, and Indirect with Post-increment. In the Register  
File, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.  
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.  
The Indirect with Displacement mode reaches 63 address locations from the base address  
given by the Y- or Z-register.  
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-incre-  
ment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or incremented.  
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers, 160 Extended I/O Registers and  
the internal data SRAM in the Atmel AVR are all accessible through all these addressing  
modes. The Register File is described in “General Purpose Register File” on page 14.

EEPROM Data Memory  
The Atmel® AVR® contains EEPROM memory (see “E2 size” in Table 3-1 on page 19). It is  
organized as a separate data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The  
EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase cycles in automotive range. The  
access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described in the following, specifying the  
EEPROM Address Registers, the EEPROM Data Register and the EEPROM Control  
Register.  
Section 22. “Memory Programming” on page 236 contains a detailed description on EEPROM  
programming in SPI or Parallel Programming mode.  
21  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
3.3.1  
EEPROM Read/Write Access  
The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.  
The write access times for the EEPROM are given in Table 3-2. A self-timing function, how-  
ever, lets the user software detect when the next byte can be written. If the user code contains  
instructions that write the EEPROM, some precautions must be taken. In heavily filtered power  
supplies, VCC is likely to rise or fall slowly on Power-up/down. This causes the device for some  
period of time to run at a voltage lower than specified as minimum for the clock frequency  
used. See “Preventing EEPROM Corruption” on page 24 for details on how to avoid problems  
in these situations.  
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be followed.  
Refer to “Atomic Byte Programming” on page 22 and “Split Byte Programming” on page 22 for  
details on this.  
When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles before the next instruction  
is executed. When the EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the  
next instruction is executed.  
3.3.2  
Atomic Byte Programming  
Using Atomic Byte Programming is the simplest mode. When writing a byte to the EEPROM,  
the user must write the address into the EEARL Register and data into EEDR Register. If the  
EEPMn bits are zero, writing EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the  
erase/write operation. Both the erase and write cycle are done in one operation and the total  
programming time is given in Table 1. The EEPE bit remains set until the erase and write  
operations are completed. While the device is busy with programming, it is not possible to do  
any other EEPROM operations.  
3.3.3  
Split Byte Programming  
It is possible to split the erase and write cycle in two different operations. This may be useful if  
the system requires short access time for some limited period of time (typically if the power  
supply voltage falls). In order to take advantage of this method, it is required that the locations  
to be written have been erased before the write operation. But since the erase and write oper-  
ations are split, it is possible to do the erase operations when the system allows doing  
time-critical operations (typically after Power-up).  
3.3.4  
3.3.5  
Erase  
Write  
To erase a byte, the address must be written to EEAR. If the EEPMn bits are 0b01, writing the  
EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the erase operation only (pro-  
gramming time is given in Table 1). The EEPE bit remains set until the erase operation  
completes. While the device is busy programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM  
operations.  
To write a location, the user must write the address into EEAR and the data into EEDR. If the  
EEPMn bits are 0b10, writing the EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger  
the write operation only (programming time is given in Table 1). The EEPE bit remains set until  
the write operation completes. If the location to be written has not been erased before write,  
the data that is stored must be considered as lost. While the device is busy with programming,  
it is not possible to do any other EEPROM operations.

The calibrated Oscillator is used to time the EEPROM accesses. Make sure the Oscillator fre-

page 41.  
The following code examples show one assembly and one C function for erase, write, or

return EEDR;  
}
3.3.6  
Preventing EEPROM Corruption  
During periods of low VCC, the EEPROM data can be corrupted because the supply voltage is  
too low for the CPU and the EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for  
board level systems using EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied.  
An EEPROM data corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low.  
First, a regular write sequence to the EEPROM requires a minimum voltage to operate cor-  
rectly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the supply voltage is too  
low.  
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following this design recommendation:  
24  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
Keep the Atmel® AVR® RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply volt-  
age. This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD). If the detection  
level of the internal BOD does not match the needed detection level, 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.  
3.4  
I/O Memory  
The I/O space definition of the Atmel AVR is shown in Section 26. “Register Summary” on  
page 282.  
All Atmel AVR I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may be  
accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions, transferring data between the 32  
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. Refer to the  
instruction set section for more details. 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 AVR is a  
complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 loca-  
tion 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.  
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, unlike most  
other Atmel 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.  
The I/O and Peripherals Control Registers are explained in later sections.  
3.4.1  
General Purpose I/O Registers  
The Atmel AVR contains three General Purpose I/O Registers. These registers can be used  
for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for storing global variables and Sta-  
tus Flags.  
The General Purpose I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly  
bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.

• Bit 7:1 – Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved for future use and will always read as 0 in Atmel® AVR®.  
• Bits 8:0 – EEAR8:0: EEPROM Address  
The EEPROM Address Registers – EEARH and EEARL – specifies the high EEPROM  
address in the EEPROM space (see “E2 size” in Table 3-1 on page 19). The EEPROM data  
bytes are addressed linearly between 0 and “E2 size”. The initial value of EEAR is undefined.  
A proper value must be written before the EEPROM may be accessed.

• Bit 7,6 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved for future use and will always read as 0 in the Atmel AVR. After read-  
ing, mask out these bits. For compatibility with future Atmel AVR devices, always write these  
bits to zero.  
• Bits 5, 4 – EEPM1 and EEPM0: EEPROM Programming Mode Bits  
The EEPROM Programming mode bits setting defines which programming action that will be  
triggered when writing EEPE. It is possible to program data in one atomic operation (erase the  
old value and program the new value) or to split the Erase and Write operations in two differ-  
ent operations. The Programming times for the different modes are shown in Table 3-2. While  
EEPE is set, any write to EEPMn will be ignored. During reset, the EEPMn bits will be reset to  
0b00 unless the EEPROM is busy programming.

• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable  
Writing EERIE to one enables the EEPROM Ready Interrupt if the I-bit in SREG is set. Writing  
EERIE to zero disables the interrupt. The EEPROM Ready Interrupt generates a constant  
interrupt when Non-volatile memory is ready for programming.  
• Bit 2 – EEMPE: EEPROM Master Program Enable  
The EEMPE bit determines whether writing EEPE to one will have effect or not.  
When EEMPE is set, setting EEPE within four clock cycles will program the EEPROM at the  
selected address. If EEMPE is zero, setting EEPE will have no effect. When EEMPE has been  
written to one by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after four clock cycles.  
• Bit 1 – EEPE: EEPROM Program Enable  
The EEPROM Program Enable Signal EEPE is the programming enable signal to the  
EEPROM. When EEPE is written, the EEPROM will be programmed according to the EEPMn  
bits setting. The EEMPE bit must be written to one before a logical one is written to EEPE, oth-  
erwise no EEPROM write takes place. When the write access time has elapsed, the EEPE bit  
is cleared by hardware. When EEPE has been set, the CPU is halted for two cycles before the  
next instruction is executed.  
• Bit 0 – EERE: EEPROM Read Enable  
The EEPROM Read Enable Signal – EERE – is the read strobe to the EEPROM. When the  
correct address is set up in the EEAR Register, the EERE bit must be written to one to trigger  
the EEPROM read. The EEPROM read access takes one instruction, and the requested data  
is available immediately. When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four cycles before  
the next instruction is executed. The user should poll the EEPE bit before starting the read  
operation. If a write operation is in progress, it is neither possible to read the EEPROM, nor to  
change the EEAR Register.

4. System Clock and Clock Options  
The Atmel® AVR® provides a large number of clock sources. They can be divided into two cat-  
egories: internal and external. Some external clock sources can be shared with the  
asynchronous timer. After reset, the clock source is determined by the CKSEL Fuses. Once  
the device is running, software clock switching is possible to any other clock sources.  
Hardware controls are provided for clock switching management but some specific proce-  
dures must be observed. Clock switching should be performed with caution as some settings  
could result in the device having an incorrect configuration.  
4.1  
Clock Systems and their Distribution  
Figure 4-1 presents the principal clock systems in the Atmel AVR and their distribution. All of  
the clocks may not need to be active at any given time. In order to reduce power consumption,  
the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes or by using  
features of the dynamic clock switch circuit (See “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on  
page 46 and “Dynamic Clock Switch” on page 35). The clock systems are detailed below.

4.1.1  
4.1.2  
CPU Clock – clkCPU  
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with the Atmel® AVR® core opera-  
tion. Examples of such modules are the General Purpose Register File, the Status Register  
and the Data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the core from  
performing general operations and calculations.  
I/O Clock – clkI/O  
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like synchronous 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.  
4.1.3  
4.1.4  
Flash Clock – clkFLASH  
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually active  
simultaneously with the CPU clock.  
Asynchronous Timer Clock – clkASY  
The asynchronous timer clock allows the asynchronous Timer/Counter to be clocked directly  
from an external clock or an external low frequency crystal. The dedicated clock domain  
allows using this Timer/Counter as a real-time counter even when the device is in sleep mode.  
4.1.5  
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.  
4.2  
Clock Sources  
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Flash Fuse bits (default) or  
by the CLKSELR register (dynamic clock switch circuit) as shown below. The clock from the  
selected source is input to the Atmel AVR clock generator, and routed to the appropriate  
modules.

The various choices for each clocking option are given in the following sections.  
When the CPU wakes up from Power-down or Power-save, or when a new clock source is  
enabled by the dynamic clock switch circuit, the selected clock source is used to time the  
start-up, ensuring stable oscillator operation before instruction execution starts.  
When the CPU starts from reset, there is an additional delay allowing the power to reach a sta-  
ble level before commencing normal operation. The Watchdog Oscillator is used for timing this  
real-time part of the start-up sequence. The number of WDT Oscillator cycles used for each  
time-out is shown in Table 4-2.

4.2.1  
Default Clock Source  
At reset, the CKSEL and SUT fuse settings are copied into the CLKSELR register. The device  
will then use the clock source and the start-up timings defined by the CLKSELR bits  
(CSEL3..0 and CSUT1:0).  
The device is shipped with CKSEL Fuses = 0010 b, SUT Fuses = 10 b, and CKDIV8 Fuse pro-  
grammed. The default clock source setting is therefore the Internal RC Oscillator running at 8  
MHz with the longest start-up time and an initial system clock divided by 8. This default setting  
ensures that all users can make their desired clock source setting using an In-System or  
High-voltage Programmer. This set-up must be taken into account when using ISP tools.  
4.2.2  
Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator  
By default, the Internal RC Oscillator provides an approximate 8.0MHz clock. Though voltage  
and temperature dependent, this clock can be accurately calibrated by the user. See Table  
23-1 on page 257 and Section 25.7 “Internal Oscillator Speed” on page 279 for more details.  
If selected, it can operate without external components. At reset, hardware loads the pre-pro-  
grammed calibration value into the OSCCAL Register and thereby automatically configuring  
the RC Oscillator. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as Factory calibration in Table  
23-1 on page 257.  
By adjusting the OSCCAL register in software, see “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Regis-  
ter” on page 41, it is possible to get a higher calibration accuracy than by using the factory  
calibration. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as User calibration in Table 23-1 on page  
257.  
The Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the Watchdog Timer and for the Reset Time-out  
even when this Oscillator is used as the device clock. For more information on the pre-pro-  
grammed calibration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 239.

Crystal Oscillator  
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be  
configured for use as an On-chip Oscillator, as shown in Figure 4-2. Either a quartz crystal or  
a ceramic resonator may be used.  
C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value of the  
capacitors depends on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capacitance, and  
the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial guidelines for choosing capacitors  
for use with crystals are given in Table 4-6. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values given  
by the manufacturer should be used.

Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator  
To use a 32.768kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the low-frequency crystal  
oscillator must be selected by setting CKSEL fuses or CSEL field as shown in Table 4-1 on  
page 29. The crystal should be connected as shown in Figure 4-3. Refer to the 32.768 kHz  
Crystal Oscillator Application Note for details on oscillator operation and how to choose appro-  
priate values for C1 and C2.  
The 32.768kHz watch crystal oscillator can be used by the asynchronous timer if the (high-fre-  
quency) Crystal Oscillator is not running or if the External Clock is not enabed (See  
”Enable/Disable Clock Source” on page 36.). The asynchronous timer is then able to start  
itself this low-frequency crystal oscillator.

page 41 for details.  
4.2.7  
Clock Output Buffer  
If not using a crystal oscillator, the device can output the system clock on the CLKO pin. To  
enable the output, the CKOUT Fuse or COUT bit of CLKSELR register has to be programmed.  
This option is useful when the device clock is needed to drive other circuits on the system.  
Note that the clock will not be output during reset and the normal operation of I/O pin will be  
overridden when the fuses are programmed. If the System Clock Prescaler is used, it is the  
divided system clock that is output.  
4.3  
Dynamic Clock Switch  
4.3.1  
Features  
The Atmel® AVR® provides a powerful dynamic clock switch circuit that allows users to turn on  
and off clocks of the device on the fly. The built-in de-glitching circuitry allows clocks to be  
enabled or disabled asynchronously. This enables efficient power management schemes to  
be implemented easily and quickly. In a safety application, the dynamic clock switch circuit  
allows continuous monitoring of the external clock permitting a fallback scheme in case of  
clock failure.  
The control of the dynamic clock switch circuit must be supervised by software. This operation  
is facilitated by the following features:  
Safe commands, to avoid unintentional commands, a special write procedure must be  
followed to change the CLKCSR register bits (See “CLKPR – Clock Prescaler Register” on  
page 42.):  
Exclusive action, the actions are controlled by a decoding table (commands) written to the  
CLKCSR register. This ensures that only one command operation can be launched at any  
time. The main actions of the decoding table are:  
– ‘Disable Clock Source’,  
– ‘Enable Clock Source’,  
– ‘Request Clock Availability’,  
– ‘Clock Source Switching’,  
35  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
– ‘Recover System Clock Source’,  
– ‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic Reload Mode’.  
Command status return. The ‘Request Clock Availability ’ command returns status via the  
CLKRDY bit in the CLKCSR register. The ‘Recover System Clock Source ’ command  
returns a code of the current clock source in the CLKSELR register. This information is  
used in the supervisory software routines as shown in Section 4.3.7 on page 37.  
4.3.2  
CLKSELR Register  
4.3.2.1  
Fuses Substitution  
At reset, bits of the Low Fuse Byte are copied into the CLKSELR register. The content of this  
register can subsequently be user modified to overwrite the default values from the Low Fuse  
Byte. CKSEL3..0, SUT1..0 and CKOUT fuses correspond respectively to CSEL3..0, CSUT1:0  
and ~(COUT) bits of the CLKSELR register as shown in Figure 4-5 on page 36.

SCLKRq : Command of Clock Control & Status Register  
The CLKSELR register contains the CSEL, CSUT and COUT values which will be used by the  
‘Enable/Disable Clock Source’, ‘Request for Clock Availability’ or ‘Clock Source Switching’  
commands.  
4.3.2.3  
Source Recovering  
The ‘Recover System Clock Source’ command updates the CKSEL field of CLKSELR register  
(See “System Clock Source Recovering” on page 37.).  
4.3.3  
Enable/Disable Clock Source  
The ‘Enable Clock Source’ command selects and enables a clock source configured by the  
settings in the CLKSELR register. CSEL3..0 will select the clock source and CSUT1:0 will  
select the start-up time (just as CKSEL and SUT fuse bits do). To be sure that a clock source  
is operating, the ‘Request for Clock Availability ’ command must be executed after the ‘Enable  
36  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
Clock Source’ command. This will indicate via the CLKRDY bit in the CLKCSR register that a  
valid clock source is available and operational.  
The ‘Disable Clock Source’ command disables the clock source indicated by the settings of  
CLKSELR register (only CSEL3..0). If the clock source indicated is currently the one that is  
used to drive the system clock, the command is not executed.  
Because the selected configuration is latched at clock source level, it is possible to enable  
many clock sources at a given time (ex: the internal RC oscillator for system clock + an oscilla-  
tor with external crystal). The user (code) is responsible of this management.  
4.3.4  
4.3.5  
COUT Command  
The ‘CKOUT ’ command allows to drive the CLKO pin. Refer to Section 4.2.7 “Clock Output  
Buffer” on page 35 for using.  
Clock Availability  
‘Request for Clock Availability’ command enables a hardware oscillation cycle counter driven  
by the selected source clock, CSEL3..0. The count limit value is determined by the settings of  
CSUT1..0. The clock is declared ready (CLKRDY = 1) when the count limit value is reached.  
The CLKRDY flag is reset when the count starts. Once set, this flag remains unchanged until a  
new count is commanded. To perform this checking, the CKSEL and CSUT fields should not  
be changed while the operation is running.  
Note that once the new clock source is selected (‘Enable Clock Source’ command), the count  
procedure is automatically started. The user (code) should wait for the setting of the CLKRDY  
flag in CLKSCR register before using a newly selected clock.  
At any time, the user (code) can ask for the availability of a clock source. The user (code) can  
request it by writing the ‘Request for Clock Availability ’ command in the CLKSCR register. A  
full polling of the status of clock sources can thus be done.  
4.3.6  
4.3.7  
System Clock Source Recovering  
The ‘Recover System Clock Source’ command returns the current clock source used to drive  
the system clock as per Table 4-1 on page 29. The CKSEL field of CLKSELR register is then  
updated with this returned value. There is no information on the SUT used or status on  
CKOUT.  
Clock Switching  
To drive the system clock, the user can switch from the current clock source to any other of the  
following ones (one of them being the current clock source):  
1. Calibrated internal RC oscillator 8.0MHz,  
2. Internal watchdog oscillator 128kHz,  
3. External clock,  
4. External low-frequency oscillator,  
5. External Crystal/Ceramic Resonator.  
The clock switching is performed by a sequence of commands. First, the user (code) must  
make sure that the new clock source is operating. Then the ‘Clock Source Switching’ com-  
mand can be issued. Once this command has been successfully completed using the  
Recover System Clock Source’ command, the user (code) may stop the previous clock  
source.  
37  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
It is strongly recommended to run this sequence only once the interrupts have been disabled.  
The user (code) is responsible for the correct implementation of the clock switching sequence.  
Here is a “light” C-code that describes such a sequence of commands.  
C Code Example  
void ClockSwiching (unsigned char clk_number, unsigned char sut) {  
#define CLOCK_RECOVER 0x05  
#define CLOCK_ENABLE  
#define CLOCK_SWITCH  
0x02  
0x04  
#define CLOCK_DISABLE 0x01  
unsigned char previous_clk, temp;  
// Disable interrupts  
temp = SREG; asm ("cli");  
// Save the current system clock source  
CLKCSR = 1 << CLKCCE;  
CLKCSR = CLOCK_RECOVER;  
previous_clk = CLKSELR & 0x0F;  
// Enable the new clock source  
CLKSELR = ((sut << 4 ) & 0x30) | (clk_number & 0x0F);  
CLKCSR = 1 << CLKCCE;  
CLKCSR = CLOCK_ENABLE;  
// Wait for clock validity  
while ((CLKCSR & (1 << CLKRDY)) == 0);  
// Switch clock source  
CLKCSR = 1 << CLKCCE;  
CLKCSR = CLOCK_SWITCH;  
// Wait for effective switching  
while (1){  
CLKCSR = 1 << CLKCCE;  
CLKCSR = CLOCK_RECOVER;  
if ((CLKSELR & 0x0F) == (clk_number & 0x0F)) break;  
}
// Shut down unneeded clock source  
if (previous_clk != (clk_number & 0x0F)) {  
CLKSELR = previous_clk;  
CLKCSR = 1 << CLKCCE;  
CLKCSR = CLOCK_DISABLE;  
}
// Re-enable interrupts  
SREG = temp;  
}
Warning:  
In the Atmel® AVR®, only one among the three external clock sources can be enabled at a  
given time. Moreover, the enables of the external clock and of the external low-frequency  
oscillator are shared with the asynchronous timer.

4.3.8  
Clock Monitoring  
A safe system needs to monitor its clock sources. Two domains need to be monitored:  
- Clock sources for peripherals,  
- Clocks sources for system clock generation.  
In the first domain, the user (code) can easily check the validity of the clock(s) (See “COUT  
Command” on page 37.). In the second domain, the lack of a clock results in the code not run-  
ning. Thus, the presence of the system clock needs to be monitored by hardware.  
Using the on-chip watchdog allows this monitoring. Normally, the watchdog reloading is per-  
formed only if the code reaches some specific software labels, reaching these labels proves  
that the system clock is running. Otherwise the watchdog reset is enabled. This behavior can  
be considered as a clock monitoring.  
If the standard watchdog functionality is not desired, the Atmel® AVR® watchdog permits the  
system clock to be monitored without having to resort to the complexity of a full software  
watchdog handler. The solution proposed in the Atmel AVR is to automate the watchdog  
reloading with only one command, at the beginning of the session.  
So, to monitor the system clock, the user will have two options:  
1. Using the standard watchdog features (software reload),  
2. Or using the automatic reloading (hardware reload).  
The two options are exclusive.  
Note:  
Warning:  
These two options make sense ONLY if the clock source at RESET is an INTERNAL SOURCE.  
The fuse settings determine this operation.

The ‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic Reload Mode’ command has priority over the standard  
watchdog enabling. In this mode, only the reset function of the watchdog is enabled (no more  
watchdog interrupt). The WDP3..0 bits of the WDTCSR register always determine the watch-  
dog timer prescaling.  
As the watchdog will not be active before executing the ‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic  
Reload Mode’ command, it is recommended to activate this command before switching to an  
external clock source (See note on page 39).  
Notes: 1. ONLY the reset (watchdog reset included) disables this function. The Watchdog System  
Reset Flag (WDRF bit of MCUSR register) can be used to monitor the reset cause.  
2. ONLY clock frequencies greater than or equal to (4 * WatchDog Clock Frequency) can be  
monitored.

System Clock Prescaler  
4.4.1  
Features  
The Atmel® AVR® system clock can be divided by setting the Clock Prescaler Register –  
CLKPR. This feature can be used to decrease power consumption when the requirement for  
processing power is low. This can be used with all clock source options, and it will affect the  
clock frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals. clkI/O, clkADC, clkCPU, and clkFLASH  
are divided by a factor as shown in Table 4-10 on page 43.  
4.4.2  
Switching Time  
When switching between prescaler settings, the System Clock Prescaler ensures that no  
glitches occur in the clock system and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither  
the clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting, nor the clock frequency corre-  
sponding to the new setting.  
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.

• Bits 7:0 – CAL7:0: Oscillator Calibration Value  
The Oscillator Calibration Register is used to trim the Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator to  
remove process variations from the oscillator frequency. The factory-calibrated value is auto-  
matically written to this register during chip reset, giving an oscillator frequency of 8.0 MHz at  
25°C. The application software can write this register to change the oscillator frequency. The  
oscillator can be calibrated to any frequency in the range 7.3 - 8.1MHz within ±2% accuracy.  
Calibration outside that range is not guaranteed.  
Note that this oscillator is used to time EEPROM and Flash write accesses, and these write  
times will be affected accordingly. If the EEPROM or Flash are written, do not calibrate to  
more than 8.8MHz. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash write may fail.  
The CAL7 bit determines the range of operation for the oscillator. Setting this bit to 0 gives the  
lowest frequency range, setting this bit to 1 gives the highest frequency range. The two fre-  
quency ranges are overlapping, in other words a setting of OSCCAL = 0x7F gives a higher  
frequency than OSCCAL = 0x80.  
41  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
The CAL6..0 bits are used to tune the frequency within the selected range. A setting of 0x00  
gives the lowest frequency in that range, and a setting of 0x7F gives the highest frequency in  
the range. Incrementing CAL6..0 by 1 will give a frequency increment of less than 2% in the  
frequency range 7.3 - 8.1 MHz.

• Bit 7 – CLKPCE: Clock Prescaler Change Enable  
The CLKPCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKPS bits. The CLK-  
PCE bit is only updated when the other bits in CLKPR are simultaneously written to zero.  
CLKPCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when the CLKPS bits are writ-  
ten. Rewriting the CLKPCE bit within this time-out period does neither extend the time-out  
period, nor clear the CLKPCE bit.  
• Bits 6:4 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® AVR® and will always read as zero.  
• Bits 3:0 – CLKPS3:0: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0  
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal sys-  
tem 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 syn-  
chronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used. The division factors are given  
in Table 4-10.  
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a special write procedure must be followed  
to change the CLKPS bits:  
1. Write the Clock Prescaler Change Enable (CLKPCE) bit to one and all other bits in  
CLKPR to zero.  
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS while writing a zero to CLKPCE.  
Interrupts must be disabled when changing prescaler setting in order not to disturb the  
procedure.  
The CKDIV8 Fuse determines the initial value of the CLKPS bits. If CKDIV8 is unprogrammed,  
the CLKPS bits will be reset to “0000”. If CKDIV8 is programmed, CLKPS bits are reset to  
“0011”, giving a division factor of eight at start up. This feature should be used if the selected  
clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of the device at the present  
operating conditions. Note that any value can be written to the CLKPS bits regardless of the  
CKDIV8 Fuse setting. The Application software must ensure that a sufficient division factor is  
chosen if the selected clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of  
the device at the present operating conditions. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse  
programmed.

• Bit 7 – CLKCCE: Clock Control Change Enable  
The CLKCCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKCSR bits. The  
CLKCCE bit is only updated when the other bits in CLKCSR are simultaneously written to  
zero. CLKCCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when the CLKCSR bits  
are written. Rewriting the CLKCCE bit within this time-out period does neither extend the  
time-out period, nor clear the CLKCCE bit.  
• Bits 6:5 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® AVR® and will always read as zero.  
• Bits 4 – CLKRDY: Clock Ready Flag  
This flag is the output of the ‘Clock Availability ’ logic.  
This flag is cleared by the ‘Request for Clock Availability’ command or ‘Enable Clock Source’  
command being entered.  
43  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
It is set when ‘Clock Availability’ logic confirms that the (selected) clock is running and is sta-  
ble. The delay from the request and the flag setting is not fixed, it depends on the clock  
start-up time, the clock frequency and, of course, if the clock is alive. The user’s code has to  
differentiate between ‘no_clock_signaland clock_signal_not_yet_available’ condition.  
• Bits 3:0 – CLKC3:0: Clock Control Bits 3 - 0  
These bits define the command to provide to the ‘Clock Switch’ module. The special write pro-  
cedure must be followed to change the CLKC3..0 bits (See ”Bit 7 – CLKCCE: Clock Control  
Change Enable” on page 43.).  
1. Write the Clock Control Change Enable (CLKCCE) bit to one and all other bits in  
CLKCSR to zero.  
2. Within 4 cycles, write the desired value to CLKCSR register while clearing CLKCCE  
bit.  
Interrupts should be disabled when setting CLKCSR register in order not to disturb the  
procedure.

5. Power Management and Sleep Modes  
Sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU, thereby saving  
power. The Atmel® AVR® provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power  
consumption to the application’s requirements.  
When enabled, the Brown-out Detector (BOD) actively monitors the power supply voltage dur-  
ing the sleep periods. To further save power, it is possible to disable the BOD in some sleep  
modes. See “BOD Disable” on page 47 for more details.  
5.1  
Sleep Modes  
Figure 4-1 on page 28 presents the different clock systems in the Atmel AVR, and their distri-  
bution. The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 5-1 shows the  
different sleep modes, their wake up sources and BOD disable ability.

Note:  
1. For INT1 and INT0, only level interrupt.  
To enter any of the four sleep modes, the SE bit in SMCR must be written to logic one and a  
SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM1, and SM0 bits in the SMCR Register select  
which sleep mode (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power-down, or Power-save) will be activated  
by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 5-2 on page 51 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.

BOD Disable  
When the Brown-out Detector (BOD) is enabled by BODLEVEL fuses, Table 22-3 on page  
237, the BOD is actively monitoring the power supply voltage during a sleep period. To save  
power, it is possible to disable the BOD by software for some of the sleep modes, see Table  
5-1. The sleep mode power consumption will then be at the same level as when BOD is glob-  
ally disabled by fuses. If BOD is disabled in software, the BOD function is turned off  
immediately after entering the sleep mode. Upon wake-up from sleep, BOD is automatically  
enabled again. This ensures safe operation in case the VCC level has dropped during the sleep  
period.  
When the BOD has been disabled, the wake-up time from sleep mode will be approximately  
60 µs to ensure that the BOD is working correctly before the MCU continues executing code.  
BOD disable is controlled by BODS bit (BOD Sleep) in the control register MCUCR, see  
“MCUCR – MCU Control Register” on page 51. Setting it to one turns off the BOD in relevant  
sleep modes, while a zero in this bit keeps BOD active. Default setting keeps BOD active, i.e.  
BODS is cleared to zero.  
Writing to the BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit, see “MCUCR –  
MCU Control Register” on page 51.  
5.3  
Idle Mode  
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 00, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle  
mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the SPI, Analog Comparator, ADC, USI start condition,  
Asynchronous Timer/Counter, Watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This  
sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, 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 SPI interrupts. If wake-up from the Analog Comparator interrupt is not required,  
the Analog Comparator can be powered down by setting the ACD bit in the Analog Compara-  
tor Control and Status Register – ACSR. This will reduce power consumption in Idle mode. If  
the ADC is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.  
5.4  
ADC Noise Reduction Mode  
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 01, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter ADC  
Noise Reduction mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the external interrupts, the  
USI start condition, the asynchronous Timer/Counter and the Watchdog to continue operating  
(if enabled). This sleep mode basically halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkFLASH, while allowing the  
other clocks to run.  
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. Apart from  
the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt, only an External Reset, a Watchdog System Reset, a  
Watchdog Interrupt, a Brown-out Reset, a USI start condition interrupt, an asynchronous  
Timer/Counter interrupt, an SPM/EEPROM ready interrupt, an external level interrupt on INT0  
or INT1 or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU from ADC Noise Reduction mode.  
47  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
5.5  
Power-down Mode  
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 10, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter  
Power-down mode. In this mode, the external Oscillator is stopped, while the external inter-  
rupts, the USI start condition, and the Watchdog continue operating (if enabled). Only an  
External Reset, a Watchdog System Reset, a Watchdog Interrupt, a Brown-out Reset, the USI  
start condition interrupt, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1, or a pin change interrupt  
can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing opera-  
tion of asynchronous modules only.  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down mode, the  
changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. Refer to Section 8. “External  
Interrupts” on page 65 for details.  
When waking up from Power-down mode, there is a delay from the wake-up condition occurs  
until the wake-up becomes effective. This allows the clock to restart and become stable after  
having been stopped. The wake-up period is defined by the same CKSEL Fuses that define  
the Reset Time-out period, as described in Section 4.2 “Clock Sources” on page 29.  
5.6  
Power-save Mode  
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 11, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter  
Power-save mode. This mode is identical to Power-down, with one exception:  
If Timer/Counter0 is clocked asynchronously, i.e., the AS0 bit in ASSR is set, Timer/Counter0  
will run during sleep. The device can wake up from either Timer Overflow or Output Compare  
event from Timer/Counter0 if the corresponding Timer/Counter0 interrupt enable bits are set in  
TIMSK0, and the global interrupt enable bit in SREG is set.  
If the Asynchronous Timer is NOT clocked asynchronously, Power-down mode is recom-  
mended instead of Power-save mode because the contents of the registers in the  
asynchronous timer should be considered undefined after wake-up in Power-save mode if  
AS0 is 0.  
This sleep mode basically halts all clocks except clkASY, allowing operation only of asynchro-  
nous modules, including Timer/Counter0 if clocked asynchronously.  
5.7  
Power Reduction Register  
The Power Reduction Register (PRR), see “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 51,  
provides a method to stop the clock to individual peripherals to reduce power consumption.  
The current state of the peripheral is frozen and the I/O registers can not be read or written.  
Resources used by the peripheral when stopping the clock will remain occupied, hence the  
peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the clock. Waking up a module,  
which is done by clearing the bit in PRR, puts the module in the same state as before  
shutdown.  
Module 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.

Minimizing Power Consumption  
There are several possibilities to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in  
an Atmel® AVR® controlled system. In general, sleep modes should be used as much as pos-  
sible, 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 follow-  
ing modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest possible power  
consumption.  
5.8.1  
5.8.2  
Analog to Digital Converter  
If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the ADC should be dis-  
abled before entering any sleep mode. When the ADC is turned off and on again, the next  
conversion will be an extended conversion. Refer to Section 18. “ADC – Analog to Digital Con-  
verter” on page 202 for details on ADC operation.  
Analog Comparator  
When entering Idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not used. When enter-  
ing ADC Noise Reduction mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled. In 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 dis-  
abled in all sleep modes. Otherwise, the Internal Voltage Reference will be enabled,  
independent of sleep mode. Refer to Section 19. “AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page  
222 for details on how to configure the Analog Comparator.  
5.8.3  
5.8.4  
Brown-out Detector  
If the Brown-out Detector is not needed by the application, this module should be turned off. If  
the Brown-out Detector is enabled by the BODLEVEL 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. Refer to Section 6.1.5 “Brown-out Detection” on  
page 55 for details on how to configure the Brown-out Detector.  
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 up before the output is used.  
If the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately. Refer to Section  
6.2 “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 57 for details on the start-up time.  
Output the internal voltage reference is not needed in the deeper sleep modes. This module  
should be turned off to reduce significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to “AMISCR  
– Analog Miscellaneous Control Register” on page 201 for details on how to disable the inter-  
nal voltage reference output.  
5.8.5  
Internal Current Source  
The Internal Current Source is not needed in the deeper sleep modes. This module should be  
turned off to reduce significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to “AMISCR – Analog  
Miscellaneous Control Register” on page 201 for details on how to disable the Internal Current  
Source.  
49  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
5.8.6  
5.8.7  
Watchdog Timer  
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, the 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 con-  
sumption. Refer to Section 6.3 “Watchdog Timer” on page 57 for details on how to configure  
the Watchdog Timer.  
Port Pins  
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The  
most important 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. Refer to the section Section 9.2.6 “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page  
75 for details on which pins are enabled. If the input buffer is enabled and the input signal is  
left floating or have 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 Registers (DIDR1 and  
DIDR0). Refer to Section 18.11.6 “DIDR1 – Digital Input Disable Register 1” on page 221 and  
Section 18.11.5 “DIDR0 – Digital Input Disable Register 0” on page 220 for details.  
5.8.8  
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 6 – BODS: BOD Sleep  
The BODS bit must be written to logic one in order to turn off BOD during sleep, see Table 5-1  
on page 46. Writing to the BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit,  
BODSE in MCUCR. To disable BOD in relevant sleep modes, both BODS and BODSE must  
first be set to one. Then, to set the BODS bit, BODS must be set to one and BODSE must be  
set to zero within four clock cycles.  
The BODS bit is active three clock cycles after it is set. A sleep instruction must be executed  
while BODS is active in order to turn off the BOD for the actual sleep mode. The BODS bit is  
automatically cleared after three clock cycles.  
• Bit 5 – BODSE: BOD Sleep Enable

6. System Control and Reset  
6.1  
Reset  
6.1.1  
Resetting the Atmel 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 an 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 6-1 shows the reset circuit. Tables in Section 23.5  
“RESET Characteristics” on page 258 defines the electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.  
The I/O ports of the Atmel® 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  
time-out period of the delay counter is defined by the user through the SUT and CKSEL  
Fuses. The different selections for the delay period are presented in Section 4.2 “Clock  
Sources” on page 29.  
6.1.2  
Reset Sources  
The Atmel AVR 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.  
• Watchdog System Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and  
the Watchdog System Reset mode 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.

Power-on Reset  
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip detection circuit. The detection  
level is defined in Table 23-4 on page 258. 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.

External Reset  
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer than the  
minimum pulse width (see Table 23-3 on page 258) 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. The External Reset can be disabled  
by the RSTDISBL fuse, see Table 22-4 on page 237.  
Figure 6-4. External Reset During Operation

6.1.5  
Brown-out Detection  
Atmel® AVR® has an On-chip Brown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the VCC level  
during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be  
selected by the BODLEVEL Fuses (See ”BODLEVEL Fuse Coding” on page 259.). The trigger  
level has a hysteresis to ensure spike free Brown-out Detection. The hysteresis on the detec-  
tion level should be interpreted as VBOT = VBOT + VHYST / 2 and VBOT = VBOT - VHYST / 2.  
+
When the BOD is enabled, and VCC decreases to a value below the trigger level (VBOTin Fig-  
ure 6-5), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When VCC increases above the trigger  
level (VBOT in Figure 6-5), the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-out period tTOUT  
+
has expired.  
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in VCC if the voltage stays below the trigger level for lon-  
ger than tBOD given in Table 23-6 on page 259.

To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then  
Reset the MCUSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another  
reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by examining the Reset Flags.  
6.2  
Internal Voltage Reference  
The Atmel® AVR® 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.  
6.2.1  
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 Table 23-7 on page 259. To save power, the reference is not always  
turned on. The reference is on during the following situations:  
1. When the BOD is enabled (by programming the BODLEVEL [2:0] Fuses).  
2. When the bandgap reference is connected to the Analog Comparator (by setting the  
ACIRS bit in ACSR).  
3. When the ADC is enabled.  
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACIRS 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 consumption in Power-down mode or in Power-save, the user  
can avoid the three conditions above to ensure that the reference is turned off before entering  
in these power reduction modes.

Watchdog Timer Behavior  
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a timer counting cycles of a separate on-chip 128 KHz  
oscillator.

INTERRUPT  
The WDT gives an interrupt or a system reset when the counter reaches a given time-out  
value. In normal operation mode, it is required that the system uses the WDR - Watchdog  
Timer Reset - instruction to restart the counter before the time-out value is reached. If the sys-  
tem doesn't restart the counter, an interrupt or system reset will be issued.  
In Interrupt mode, the WDT gives an interrupt when the timer expires. This interrupt can be  
used to wake the device from sleep-modes, and also as a general system timer. One example  
is to limit the maximum time allowed for certain operations, giving an interrupt when the opera-  
tion has run longer than expected. In System Reset mode, the WDT gives a reset when the  
timer expires. This is typically used to prevent system hang-up in case of runaway code. The  
third mode, Interrupt and System Reset mode, combines the other two modes by first giving  
an interrupt and then switch to System Reset mode. This mode will for instance allow a safe  
shutdown by saving critical parameters before a system reset.  
The Watchdog always on (WDTON) fuse, if programmed, will force the Watchdog Timer to  
System Reset mode. With the fuse programmed the System Reset mode bit (WDE) and Inter-  
rupt mode bit (WDIE) are locked to 1 and 0 respectively. To further ensure program security,  
alterations to the Watchdog set-up must follow timed sequences. The sequence for clearing  
WDE and changing time-out configuration is as follows:  
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to the Watchdog change enable bit (WDCE)  
and WDE. A logic one must be written to WDE regardless of the previous value of the  
WDE bit.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write the WDE and Watchdog prescaler bits (WDP)  
as desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared. This must be done in one operation.

The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for turning off the  
Watchdog Timer. The example assumes that interrupts are controlled (e.g. by disabling inter-  
rupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during the execution of these functions.

Note:

Note that if the Watchdog is accidentally enabled, for example by a runaway pointer or  
brown-out condition, the device will be reset and the Watchdog Timer will stay enabled. If the  
code is not set up to handle the Watchdog, this might lead to an eternal loop of time-out  
resets. To avoid this situation, the application software should always clear the Watchdog Sys-  
tem Reset Flag (WDRF) and the WDE control bit in the initialization routine, even if the  
Watchdog is not in use.

Notes: 1. See Section 1.7 “About Code Examples ” on page 10  
2. The Watchdog Timer should be reset before any change of the WDP bits, since a change in  
the WDP bits can result in a time-out when switching to a shorter time-out period.

Clock monitoring  
The Watchdog Timer can be used to detect a loss of system clock. This configuration is driven  
by the dynamic clock switch circuit. Please refer to Section 4.3.8 “Clock Monitoring” on page

• Bit 7 - WDIF: Watchdog Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set when a time-out occurs in the Watchdog Timer and the Watchdog Timer is con-  
figured for interrupt. WDIF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt  
handling vector. Alternatively, WDIF is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit  
in SREG and WDIE are set, the Watchdog Time-out Interrupt is executed.  
• Bit 6 - WDIE: Watchdog Interrupt Enable  
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Watchdog Interrupt  
is enabled. If WDE is cleared in combination with this setting, the Watchdog Timer is in Inter-  
rupt Mode, and the corresponding interrupt is executed if time-out in the Watchdog Timer  
occurs.  
If WDE is set, the Watchdog Timer is in Interrupt and System Reset Mode. The first time-out in  
the Watchdog Timer will set WDIF. Executing the corresponding interrupt vector will clear  
WDIE and WDIF automatically by hardware (the Watchdog goes to System Reset Mode). This  
is useful for keeping the Watchdog Timer security while using the interrupt. To stay in Interrupt  
and System Reset Mode, WDIE must be set after each interrupt. This should however not be  
done within the interrupt service routine itself, as this might compromise the safety-function of  
the Watchdog System Reset mode. If the interrupt is not executed before the next time-out, a  
System Reset will be applied.  
If the Watchdog Timer is used as clock monitor (c.f. Section • “Bits 3:0 – CLKC3:0: Clock Con-  
trol Bits 3 - 0” on page 44), the System Reset Mode is enabled and the Interrupt Mode is  
automatically disabled.

• Bit 4 - WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable  
This bit is used in timed sequences for changing WDE and prescaler bits. To clear the WDE  
bit, and/or change the prescaler bits, WDCE must be set.  
Once written to one, hardware will clear WDCE after four clock cycles.  
61  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
• Bit 3 - WDE: Watchdog System Reset Enable  
WDE is overridden by WDRF in MCUSR. This means that WDE is always set when WDRF is  
set. To clear WDE, WDRF must be cleared first. This feature ensures multiple resets during  
conditions causing failure, and a safe start-up after the failure.  
• Bit 5, 2..0 - WDP3..0: Watchdog Timer Prescaler 3, 2, 1 and 0  
The WDP3..0 bits determine the Watchdog Timer prescaling when the Watchdog Timer is run-  
ning. The different prescaling values and their corresponding time-out periods are shown in  
Table 6-2 on page 62.

8. External Interrupts  
8.1  
Overview  
The External Interrupts are triggered by the INT1..0 pins or any of the PCINT15..0 pins.  
Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT1..0 or PCINT15..0 pins are  
configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt.  
The pin change interrupt PCINT1 will trigger if any enabled PCINT15..8 pin toggles. The pin  
change interrupt PCINT0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT7..0 pin toggles. The PCMSK1 and  
PCMSK0 Registers control which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin change  
interrupts on PCINT15..0 are detected asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can  
be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.  
The INT1..0 interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up  
as indicated in the specification for the External Interrupt Control Register A – EICRA. When  
the INT1..0 interrupts are enabled and are configured as level triggered, the interrupts will trig-  
ger as long as the pin is held low. The recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT1..0  
requires the presence of an I/O clock, described in “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on  
page 28. Low level interrupts and the edge interrupt on INT1..0 are detected asynchronously.  
This implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other  
than Idle mode. The I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except Idle mode.  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down or Power-save,  
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 Systems and their Distribution” on page 28.

These bits are unused bits in the Atmel® AVR®, and will always read as zero.  
• 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 corre-  
sponding interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT1 pin that activate the  
interrupt are defined in Table 8-1. 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.  
• Bit 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 corre-  
sponding interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the  
interrupt are defined in Table 8-1. 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

• Bit 1 – 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 Control1 bits 1/0 (ISC11 and ISC10) in  
the External Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA) define whether the external interrupt is acti-  
vated 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 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 Control0 bits 1/0 (ISC01 and ISC00) in  
the External Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA) define whether the external interrupt is acti-  
vated 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 7, 2 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are unused bits in the Atmel® AVR®, and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 1 – INTF1: External Interrupt Flag 1  
When an edge or logic change on the INT1 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF1 becomes  
set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the INT1 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 always cleared  
when INT1 is configured as a level interrupt.  
• 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 always cleared

• 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 PCINT7..0 pin will cause an inter-

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. I/O-Ports  
9.1  
Introduction  
All Atmel® 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 resis-  
tance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as indicated in Figure 9-1.  
Refer to “Electrical Characteristics” on page 254 for a complete list of parameters.

Details  
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” rep-  
resents 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 for I/O Ports” on  
page 89.  
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Regis-  
ter – 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 or PUDx in PORTCR 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  
71. 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 75. 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.

9.2.1  
Configuring the Pin  
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in “Regis-  
ter Description for I/O Ports” on page 89, 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).

9.2.2  
9.2.3  
Toggling the Pin  
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of  
DDRxn. Note that the SBI assembler instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.  
Break-Before-Make Switching  
In the Break-Before-Make mode when switching the DDRxn bit from input to output an imme-  
diate tri-state period lasting one system clock cycle is introduced as indicated in Figure 9-3.  
For example, if the system clock is 4MHz and the DDRxn is written to make an output, the  
immediate tri-state period of 250ns 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 is a port-wise mode and it is activated by the  
port-wise BBMx enable bits. For further information about the BBMx bits, see “Port Control  
Register – PORTCR” on page 78. When switching the DDRxn bit from output to input there is  
no immediate tri-state period introduced.

Switching Between Input and Output  
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 0) and output high  
({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 1), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled  
{DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 1) or output low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 0) 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 or the PUDx bit in PORTCR Register can be set to disable all pull-ups in the  
port.  
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user  
must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 0) or the output high state  
({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 1) as an intermediate step.

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 9-2, 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 9-4 shows a  
timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin value. The max-  
imum 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 indi-  
cated 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 indi-  
cated in Figure 9-5. 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 1 system clock period.

The following code example shows how to set port B pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and  
define the port pins from 4 to 7 as input with pull-ups assigned to port pins 6 and 7. The result-  
ing 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:  
1. For the assembly program, two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from  
pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1, 6, and 7, until the direction bits are correctly set, defining bit 2  
and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as strong high drivers.

9.2.6  
Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes  
As shown in Figure 9-2, 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 or Power-save mode 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 vari-  
ous other alternate functions as described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 75.  
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 inter-  
rupt 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.  
9.2.7  
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 pull-down. Connecting  
unused pins directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this may cause excessive cur-  
rents if the pin is accidentally configured as an output.  
9.3  
Alternate Port Functions  
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure 9-6  
shows how the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 9-2 can be overridden by  
alternate functions. The overriding signals may not be present in all port pins, but the figure  
serves as a generic description applicable to all port pins in the Atmel® AVR® microcontroller  
family.

The alternate pin configuration is as follows:  
• PCINT7/ADC7/AIN1/XREF/AREF – Port A, Bit7  
PCINT7: Pin Change Interrupt, source 7.  
ADC7: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 7.  
AIN1: Analog Comparator Positive Input. This pin is directly connected to the positive input  
of the Analog Comparator.  
XREF: Internal Voltage Reference Output. The internal voltage reference 2.56V or 1.1V is  
output when XREFEN is set and if either 2.56V or 1.1V is used as reference for ADC  
conversion. When XREF output is enabled, the pin port pull-up and digital output  
driver are turned off.  
AREF: External Voltage Reference Input for ADC. The pin port pull-up and digital output  
driver are disabled when the pin is used as an external voltage reference input for  
ADC or as when the pin is only used to connect a bypass capacitor for the voltage ref-  
erence of the ADC.  
• PCINT6/ADC6/AIN0/SS – Port A, Bit6  
PCINT6: Pin Change Interrupt, source 6.  
ADC6: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 6.  
AIN0: Analog Comparator Negative Input. This pin is directly connected to the negative input  
of the Analog Comparator.  
SS: SPI Slave Select Input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is configured as an  
input regardless of the setting of DDA6. As a slave, the SPI is activated when this pin  
is driven low. When the SPI is enabled as a master, the data direction of this pin is  
controlled by DDA6. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be con-  
trolled by the PORTA6 bit.  
• PCINT5/ADC5/T1/USCK/SCL/SCK – Port A, Bit5  
PCINT5: Pin Change Interrupt, source 5.  
ADC5: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 5.  
T1: Timer/Counter1 Clock Input.  
USCK: Three-wire Mode USI Clock Input.  
SCL: Two-wire Mode USI Clock Input.  
SCK: SPI Master Clock output, Slave Clock input pin. When the SPI is enabled as a slave,  
this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDA5. When the SPI is  
enabled as a master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDA5. When the pin  
is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTA5 bit.  
• PCINT4/ADC4/ICP1/DI/SDA/MOSI – Port A, Bit 4  
PCINT4: Pin Change Interrupt, source 4.  
ADC4: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 4.  
ICP1: Timer/Counter1 Input Capture Trigger. The PA3 pin can act as an Input Capture pin for  
Timer/Counter1.  
DI: Three-wire Mode USI Data Input. USI Three-wire mode does not override normal port  
functions, so pin must be configure as an input for DI function.  
SDA: Two-wire Mode Serial Interface (USI) Data Input / Output.  
MOSI: SPI Master Output / Slave Input. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, this pin is con-  
figured as an input regardless of the setting of DDA3. When the SPI is enabled as a  
80

Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDA3. When the pin is forced by  
the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTA3 bit.  
• PCINT3/ADC3/ISRC/INT1 – Port A, Bit 3  
PCINT3: Pin Change Interrupt, source 3.  
ADC3: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 3.  
ISCR: Current Source Output pin. While current is sourced by the Current Source module,  
the user can use the Analog to Digital Converter channel 4 (ADC4) to measure the pin  
voltage.  
INT1: External Interrupt, source 1. The PA4 pin can serve as an external interrupt source.  
• PCINT2/ADC2/OC0A/DO/MISO – Port A, Bit 2  
PCINT2: Pin Change Interrupt, source 2.  
ADC2: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 2.  
OC0A: Output Compare Match A or output PWM A for Timer/Counter0. The pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDA2 set (one)) to serve these functions.  
DO: Three-wire Mode USI Data Output. Three-wire mode data output overrides PORTA2  
and it is driven to the port when the data direction bit DDA2 is set. PORTA2 still  
enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTA2 is set (one).  
MISO: Master Data input, Slave Data output pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is enabled  
as a Master, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDA2. When  
the SPI is enabled as a Salve, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDA2.  
When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by PORTA2.  
• PCINT1/ADC1/TXD/TXLIN – Port A, Bit 1  
PCINT1: Pin Change Interrupt, source 1.  
ADC1: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 1.  
TXD: UART Transmit pin. When the UART transmitter is enabled, this pin is configured as an  
output regardless the value of DDA1. PORTA1 still enables the pull-up, if the direction  
is input and PORTA2 is set (one).  
TXLIN: LIN Transmit pin. When the LIN is enabled, this pin is configured as an output  
regardless the value of DDA1. PORTA1 still enables the pull-up, if the direction is input  
and PORTA2 is set (one).  
• PCINT0/ADC0/RXD/RXLIN – Port A, Bit 0  
PCINT0: Pin Change Interrupt, source 0.  
ADC0: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 0.  
RXD: UART Receive pin. When the UART receiver is enabled, this pin is configured as an  
input regardless of the value of DDA0. When the pin is forced to be an input, a logical  
one in PORTA0 will turn on the internal pull-up.  
RXLIN: LIN Receive pin. When the LIN is enabled, this pin is configured as an input regard-  
less of the value of DDA0. When the pin is forced to be an input, a logical one in  
PORTA0 will turn on the internal pull-up.

RESET: Reset input pin. When the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, this pin functions as a  
normal I/O pin, and the part will have to rely on Power-on Reset and Brown-out Reset  
as its reset sources. When the RSTDISBL Fuse is unprogrammed, the reset circuitry  
is connected to the pin, and the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.  
If PB7 is used as a reset pin, DDB7, PORTB7 and PINB7 will all read 0.  
dW: When the debugWIRE Enable (DWEN) Fuse is programmed and Lock bits are unpro-  
grammed, the RESET port pin is configured as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-directional  
I/O pin with pull-up enabled and becomes the communication gateway between target  
and emulator.  
• PCINT14/ADC9/OC1AX/INT0 – Port B, Bit 6  
PCINT14: Pin Change Interrupt, source 14.  
ADC9: Analog to Digital Converter, channel 9.  
OC1AX: Output Compare and PWM Output A-X for Timer/Counter1. The PB6 pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDB6 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1AX pin is  
also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AX bit of TCCR1D regis-  
ter).  
INT0: External Interrupt0 Input. The PB6 pin can serve as an external interrupt source.  
• PCINT13/ADC8/OC1BW/XTAL2/CLKO – Port B, Bit 5

configured as an output (DDB5 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1BW pin is  
also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BW bit of TCCR1D reg-  
ister).  
XTAL2: Chip clock Oscillator pin 2. Used as clock pin for crystal Oscillator or Low-frequency  
crystal Oscillator. When used as a clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.  
CLKO: Divided system clock output. The divided system clock can be output on the PB5 pin.  
The divided system clock will be output if the CKOUT Fuse is programmed, regardless  
of the PORTB5 and DDB5 settings. It will also be output during reset.  
• PCINT12/OC1AW/XTAL1/CLKI – Port B, Bit 4  
PCINT12: Pin Change Interrupt, source 12.  
OC1AW: Output Compare and PWM Output A-W for Timer/Counter1. The PB4 pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDB4 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1AW pin is

PCINT11: Pin Change Interrupt, source 11.  
OC1BV: Output Compare and PWM Output B-V for Timer/Counter1. The PB3 pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDB3 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1BV pin is  
also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BV bit of TCCR1D regis-  
ter).  
85  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
• PCINT10/OC1AV/USCK/SCL – Port B, Bit 2  
PCINT10: Pin Change Interrupt, source 10.  
OC1AV: Output Compare and PWM Output A-V for Timer/Counter1. The PB2 pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDB2 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1AV pin is  
also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AV bit of TCCR1D regis-  
ter).

and it is driven to the port when the data direction bit DDB1 is set. PORTB1 still  
enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTB1 is set (one).  
• PCINT8/OC1AU/DI/SDA – Port B, Bit 0  
IPCINT8: Pin Change Interrupt, source 8.  
OC1AU: Output Compare and PWM Output A-U for Timer/Counter1. The PB0 pin has to be  
configured as an output (DDB0 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1AU pin is  
also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AU bit of TCCR1D regis-  
ter).  
DI: Three-wire Mode USI Data Input. USI Three-wire mode does not override normal port  
functions, so pin must be configure as an input for DI function.  
SDA: Two-wire Mode Serial Interface (USI) Data Input / Output.

10.2 Overview  
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. However, when using  
the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT0 for  
accessing Timer/Counter0 counter value and so on.  
• A lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit channel, in this case A. However, when  
using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., OCR0A  
for accessing Timer/Counter0 output compare channel A value and so on.  
A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 10-1. For the actual  
placement of I/O pins, refer to See Section 1.3 “Pin Configuration” on page 6. CPU accessible  
I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Regis-  
ter and bit locations are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 103.

The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and Output Compare Register (OCR0A) are 8-bit registers. Inter-  
rupt request (shorten as Int.Req.) 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 asynchronously clocked  
from the XTAL1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous operation is con-  
trolled 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 (clkT0).  
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR0A) is compared with the Timer/Counter  
value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to gen-  
erate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OC0A). See ”Output  
Compare Unit” on page 93. for details. The compare match event will also set the compare  
flag (OCF0A) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.

10.2.1  
Definitions  
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:  
BOTTOM  
MAX  
The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).  
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.  
10.3 Timer/Counter Clock Sources  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous  
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 (TCCR0).The clock  
source clkT0 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS0 bit in the ASSR Regis-  
ter is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the Timer/Counter Oscillator  
connected to XTAL1 and XTAL2 or directly from XTAL1. For details on asynchronous opera-  
tion, see “Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR” on page 106. For details on clock sources  
and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 Prescaler” on page 103.  
10.4 Counter Unit  
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Fig-  
ure 10-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.

Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decre-  
mented 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). There are close connections between how  
the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare out-  
put OC0A. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation,  
see “Modes of Operation” on page 95.  
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set according to the mode of operation selected  
by the WGM01:0 bits. TOV0 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.  
10.5 Output Compare Unit  
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the Output Compare Register  
(OCR0A). Whenever TCNT0 equals OCR0A, the comparator signals a match. A match will set  
the Output Compare Flag (OCF0A) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE0A = 1), the  
Output Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF0A flag is automati-  
cally cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF0A 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 WGM01:0 bits and  
Compare Output mode (COM0A1:0) bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the Wave-  
form Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of  
operation (“Modes of Operation” on page 95).

The OCR0A 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 OCR0A  
Compare Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization pre-  
vents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output  
glitch-free.  
The OCR0A Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buff-  
ering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR0A Buffer Register, and if double buffering is  
disabled the CPU will access the OCR0A directly.  
10.5.1  
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 (FOC0A) bit. Forcing compare match will not  
set the OCF0A flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC0A pin will be updated as if a real com-  
pare match had occurred (the COM0A1:0 bits settings define whether the OC0A pin is set,  
cleared or toggled).  
10.5.2  
10.5.3  
Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write  
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any compare match that occurs in  
the next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0A to be  
initialized to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter  
clock is enabled.  
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  
channel, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to  
TCNT0 equals the OCR0A 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 downcounting.  
The setup of the OC0A should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the  
port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC0A value is to use the Force Output Com-  
pare (FOC0A) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC0A Register keeps its value even when  
changing between Waveform Generation modes.  
Be aware that the COM0A1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.  
Changing the COM0A1:0 bits will take effect immediately.  
10.6 Compare Match Output Unit  
The Compare Output mode (COM0A1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator  
uses the COM0A1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC0A) state at the next compare  
match. Also, the COM0A1:0 bits control the OC0A pin output source. Figure 10-4 shows a  
simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM0A1:0 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 COM0A1:0 bits are shown. When referring  
to the OC0A state, the reference is for the internal OC0A Register, not the OC0A pin.

10.6.1  
Compare Output Function  
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC0A) from the Wave-  
form Generator if either of the COM0A1:0 bits are set. However, the OC0A 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 OC0A pin (DDR_OC0A) must be set as output before the OC0A  
value is visible on the pin. The port override function is independent of the Waveform Genera-  
tion mode.  
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC0A state before the  
output is enabled. Note that some COM0A1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of  
operation. See ”8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 103.  
10.6.2  
Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation  
The Waveform Generator uses the COM0A1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM  
modes. For all modes, setting the COM0A1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action  
on the OC0A Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output  
actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 10-1 on page 104. For fast PWM mode, refer to  
Table 10-2 on page 104, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 10-3 on page 104.  
A change of the COM0A1:0 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 FOC0A strobe bits.  
10.7 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 (WGM01:0) and Compare  
Output mode (COM0A1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting  
sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM0A1:0 bits control whether  
the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For  
non-PWM modes the COM0A1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or tog-  
gled at a compare match (See ”Compare Match Output Unit” on page 94.).  
95  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 100.  
10.7.1  
Normal Mode  
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM01:0 = 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 bot-  
tom (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 soft-  
ware. 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.  
10.7.2  
Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode  
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM01:0 = 2), the OCR0A Register is used to  
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the coun-  
ter 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 fre-  
quency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 10-5. The counter value (TCNT0)  
increases until a compare match occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and then counter  
(TCNT0) is cleared.

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 updat-  
ing 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 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 log-  
ical 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  
fOC0A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the  
following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= ------------------------------------------------------  
OCnx

N
(1 + OCRnx)  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 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.  
10.7.3  
Fast PWM Mode  
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 3) provides a high frequency  
PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its sin-  
gle-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to MAX then restarts from BOTTOM.  
In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0A) is cleared on the com-  
pare match between TCNT0 and OCR0A, 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 10-6. 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 com-  
pare matches between OCR0A and TCNT0.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) 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 OC0A pin.  
Setting the COM0A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM out-  
put can be generated by setting the COM0A1:0 to three (See Table 10-2 on page 104). The  
actual OC0A 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 OC0A Register at the  
compare match between OCR0A and TCNT0, and clearing (or setting) the OC0A 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:  
f
clk_I/O

= --------------------  
OCnxPWM  
N
256  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represent 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 OC0A to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM0A1:0 = 1). The wave-  
form generated will have a maximum frequency of foc0A = 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.  
10.7.4  
Phase Correct PWM Mode  
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM  
waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope opera-  
tion. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX and then from MAX to BOTTOM.  
In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0A) is cleared on the com-  
pare match between TCNT0 and OCR0A 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 pre-  
ferred 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 coun-  
ter reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will be equal to MAX for  
one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Fig-  
ure 10-7. 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  
OCR0A and TCNT0.

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 BOT-  
TOM value.  
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the  
OC0A pin. Setting the COM0A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted  
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM0A1:0 to three (See Table 10-3 on page  
104). The actual OC0A 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 OC0A Regis-  
ter at the compare match between OCR0A and TCNT0 when the counter increments, and  
setting (or clearing) the OC0A Register at compare match between OCR0A 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 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.

10.9 Asynchronous Operation of Timer/Counter0  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.  
• Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of  
Timer/Counter0, the timer registers TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A might be corrupted. A  
safe procedure for switching clock source is:  
a. Disable the Timer/Counter0 interrupts by clearing OCIE0A and TOIE0.  
b. Select clock source by setting AS0 and EXCLK as appropriate.  
c. Write new values to TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A.  
d. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN0UB, OCR0UB, and TCR0UB.  
e. Clear the Timer/Counter0 interrupt flags.  
f. Enable interrupts, if needed.  
• If an 32.768kHz watch crystal is used, the CPU main clock frequency must be more than  
four times the Oscillator or external clock frequency.  
• When writing to one of the registers TCNT0, OCR0A, or TCCR0A, 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 TCNT0 does not disturb an OCR0A 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 TCNT0, OCR0A, or TCCR0A, the  
user must wait until the written register has been updated if Timer/Counter0 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 Compare0 interrupt is used to wake up  
the device, since the Output Compare function is disabled during writing to OCR0A or  
TCNT0. If the write cycle is not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode before the  
OCR0UB bit returns to zero, the device will never receive a compare match interrupt, and  
the MCU will not wake up.  
101  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
• If Timer/Counter0 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 mode is sufficient, the  
following algorithm can be used to ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:  
a. Write a value to TCCR0A, TCNT0, or OCR0A.  
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 oscillator for Timer/Counter0 is always  
running, except in Power-down mode. After a Power-up Reset or wake-up from  
Power-down 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/Counter0 after power-up or wake-up from Power-down mode. The contents of  
all Timer/Counter0 Registers must be considered lost after a wake-up from Power-down  
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 XTAL1 pin.  
• Description of wake up from Power-save 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 TCNT0 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an  
incorrect result. Since TCNT0 is clocked on the asynchronous clock, reading TCNT0 must  
be done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock domain (CPU main clock).  
Synchronization takes place for every rising XTAL1 edge. When waking up from  
Power-save mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT0 will read as the  
previous value (before entering sleep) until the next rising XTAL1 edge. The phase of the  
XTAL1 clock after waking up from Power-save mode is essentially unpredictable, as it  
depends on the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for reading TCNT0 is thus as  
follows:  
a. Write any value to either of the registers OCR0A or TCCR0A.  
b. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.  
c. Read TCNT0.  
• 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.

TIMER/COUNTERn CLOCK SOURCE  
clkTn  
The clock source for Timer/Counter0 is named clkT0S. clkT0S is by default connected to the  
main system I/O clock clkIO. By setting the AS0 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter0 is asynchro-  
nously clocked from the XTAL oscillator or XTAL1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter0 as  
a Real Time Counter (RTC).  
A crystal can then be connected between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins to serve as an indepen-  
dent clock source for Timer/Counter0.  
A external clock can also be used using XTAL1 as input. Setting AS0 and EXCLK enables this  
configuration.  
For Timer/Counter0, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT0S/8, clkT0S/32, clkT0S/64,  
clkT0S/128, clkT0S/256, and clkT0S/1024. Additionally, clkT0S as well as 0 (stop) may be  
selected. Setting the PSR0 bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate  
with a predictable prescaler.

• Bit 7:6 – COM0A1:0: Compare Match Output Mode A  
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 con-  
nected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to OC0A  
pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.  
103  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
When OC0A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0A1:0 bits depends on the  
WGM01:0 bit setting. Table 10-1 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM01:0  
bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

• 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 out-  
put 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 deter-  
mines 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 7 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved in the Atmel® AVR® 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 XTAL1 pin instead of an external crys-  
tal. 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 – AS0: Asynchronous Timer/Counter0  
When AS0 is written to zero, Timer/Counter0 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O and the  
Timer/Counter0 acts as a synchronous peripheral.  
When AS0 is written to one, Timer/Counter0 is clocked from the low-frequency crystal oscilla-  
tor (See ”Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator” on page 33.) or from external clock on XTAL1 pin  
(See ”External Clock” on page 34.) depending on EXCLK setting. When the value of AS0 is  
changed, the contents of TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A might be corrupted.  
AS0 also acts as a flag: Timer/Counter0 is clocked from the low-frequency crystal or from  
external clock ONLY IF the calibrated internal RC oscillator or the internal watchdog oscillator  
is used to drive the system clock. After setting AS0, if the switching is available, AS0 remains  
to 1, else it is forced to 0.  
• Bit 4 – TCN0UB: Timer/Counter0 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and TCNT0 is written, this bit becomes set.  
When TCNT0 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by  
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT0 is ready to be updated with a new  
value.  
• Bit 3 – OCR0AUB: Output Compare 0 Register A Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and OCR0A is written, this bit becomes set.  
When OCR0A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by  
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR0A is ready to be updated with a new  
value.  
• Bit 2 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved in the Atmel® AVR® and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 1 – TCR0AUB: Timer/Counter0 Control Register A Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and TCCR0A is written, this bit becomes set.  
When TCCR0A has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by  
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR0A is ready to be updated with a new  
value.  
• Bit 0 – TCR0BUB: Timer/Counter0 Control Register B Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and TCCR0B is written, this bit becomes set.  
When TCCR0B has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by  
hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR0B is ready to be updated with a new  
value.  
If a write is performed to any of the four Timer/Counter0 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 TCNT0, OCR0A, TCCR0A and TCCR0B are different. When  
reading TCNT0, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR0A, TCCR0A or TCCR0B  
the value in the temporary storage register is read.

11. Timer/Counter1 Prescaler  
11.1 Overview  
Most bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n” replaces the  
Timer/Counter number.  
11.1.1  
11.1.2  
Internal Clock Source  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 = 1).  
This provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency equal to  
system clock frequency (f  
). Alternatively, one of four taps from the prescaler can be  
CLK_I/O  
used as a clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either f  
/8, f  
/64,  
CLK_I/O  
CLK_I/O  
f
/256, or f  
/1024.  
CLK_I/O  
CLK_I/O  
Prescaler Reset  
The prescaler is free running, i.e., operates independently of the Clock Select logic of the  
Timer/Counter. Since the prescaler is not affected by the Timer/Counter’s clock select, the  
state of the prescaler will have implications for situations where a prescaled clock is used. One  
example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the timer is enabled and clocked by the prescaler  
(6 > 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 execu-  
tion. 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.  
11.1.3  
External Clock Source  
An external clock source applied to the T1 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clk 1).  
T
The T1 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 11-1 shows a  
functional equivalent block diagram of the T1 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 clk pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative  
T1  
(CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.

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 pin to the counter is updated.  
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1 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 (f  
< f  
/2) given a 50/50 % duty cycle. Since the edge detec-  
ExtClk  
clk_I/O  
tor 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 capaci-  
tors) tolerances, it is recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is  
less than f  
/2.5.  
clk_I/O  
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

• 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 PSR0 and PSR1 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 dur-  
ing configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSR0 and PSR1 bits are cleared by  
hardware, and the Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.  
• Bit 0 – PSR1: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter1  
When this bit is one, Timer/Counter1 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared imme-  
diately by hardware, except if the TSM bit is set.

12. 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:  
12.1 Features  
True 16-bit Design (i.e., Allows 16-bit PWM)  
Two independent Output Compare Units  
Four Controlled Output Pins per Output Compare Unit  
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)

Frequency Generator  
External Event Counter  
Four independent interrupt Sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, and ICF1)  
12.2 Overview  
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 1. 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 lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit channel, in this case A or B. However,  
when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e.,  
OCR1A for accessing Timer/Counter1 output compare channel A value and so on.  
• A lower case “i” replaces the index of the Output Compare output pin, in this case U, V, W  
or X. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must  
be used.  
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 12-1. For the actual  
placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pin Configuration” on page 6. 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 135.

12.2.1  
Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture Reg-  
ister (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 115. 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 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 (clk ).  
n
T
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 Gen-  
erator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pins See  
”Output Compare Units” on page 122.. 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  
”AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page 222.). The Input Capture unit includes a digital filter-  
ing 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 gener-  
ating 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.  
12.2.2  
Definitions  
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:  
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.  
MAX  
TOP  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65,535).  
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 val-  
ues: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCR1A or ICR1  
Register. The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.  
12.3 Accessing 16-bit Registers  
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the Atmel®  
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 tempo-  
rary 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 reg-  
ister 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.

12.3.1  
Code Examples  
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 access-  
ing the OCR1A/B and ICR1 Registers. Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the  
16-bit access.

...  
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
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 regis-  
ters, 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 dis-  
able the interrupts during the 16-bit access.

Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be  
written to TCNT1.  
12.3.2  
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 writ-  
ten, 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.  
12.4 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/Counter1 Prescaler” on page 110.

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 regis-  
ter (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 decre-  
mented 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 OC1A/B. For more details about advanced  
counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 125.  
119  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
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.  
12.6 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 12-3. The elements  
of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded.

When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture pin (ICP1), alterna-  
tively 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 cop-  
ied 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 Genera-  
tion mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICR1  
120  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
Register. When writing the ICR1 Register the high byte must be written to the ICR1H I/O loca-  
tion before the low byte is written to ICR1L.  
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Regis-  
ters” on page 115.  
12.6.1  
Input Capture Trigger Source  
The main trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture pin (ICP1). Only  
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 sam-  
pled using the same technique as for the T1 pin (Figure 11-1 on page 110). 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.  
12.6.2  
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.  
12.6.3  
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 inter-  
rupt 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).  
121  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
12.7 Output Compare Units  
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the Output Compare Register  
(OCR1A/B). If TCNT equals OCR1A/B the comparator signals a match. A match will set the  
Output Compare Flag (OCF1A/B) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE1A/B = 1), the  
Output Compare Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF1A/B flag is automati-  
cally cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1A/B flag can be cleared by  
software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit locations. The Waveform Generator uses the  
match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by the Waveform Gener-  
ation mode (WGM13:0) bits and Compare Output mode (COM1A/B1:0) 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 125.)  
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 12-4 shows a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The elements of the block dia-  
gram that are not directly a part of the Output Compare unit are gray shaded.

The OCR1A/B Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modula-  
tion (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  
OCR1A/B Compare Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The syn-  
chronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby  
making the output glitch-free.  
122  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
The OCR1A/B Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double  
buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR1A/B Buffer Register, and if double buff-  
ering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR1A/B directly. The content of the OCR1A/B  
(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 OCR1A/B  
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 OCR1A/B Registers  
must be done via the TEMP Register since the compare of all 16bits is done continuously. The  
high byte (OCR1A/BH) 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  
(OCR1A/BL) is written to the lower eight bits, the high byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits  
of either the OCR1A/B buffer or OCR1A/B 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 115.  
12.7.1  
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 (FOC1A/B) bit. Forcing compare match will not  
set the OCF1A/B flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC1A/Bi pins will be updated as if a  
real compare match had occurred (the COM1A/B1:0 bits settings define whether the OC1A/Bi  
pins are set, cleared or toggled - if the respective OCnxi bit is set).  
12.7.2  
12.7.3  
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 OCR1A/B to be initial-  
ized 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 OCR1A/B 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 con-  
tinue to 0xFFFF. Similarly, do not write the TCNT1 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter  
is downcounting.  
The setup of the OC1A/B should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for  
the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC1A/B value is to use the Force Output  
Compare (FOC1A/B) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC1A/B Register keeps its value even  
when changing between Waveform Generation modes.  
Be aware that the COM1A/B1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.  
Changing the COM1A/B1:0 bits will take effect immediately.  
12.8 Compare Match Output Unit  
The Compare Output mode (COM1A/B1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Generator  
uses the COM1A/B1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC1A/B) state at the next com-  
pare match. Secondly the COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi bits control the OC1A/Bi pin output source.

Figure 12-6 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi  
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  
COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi bits are shown. When referring to the OC1A/B state, the reference is  
for the internal OC1A/B Register, not the OC1A/Bi pin. If a system reset occur, the OC1A/B  
Register is reset to “0”.

Compare Output Function  
The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC1A/B) from the Wave-  
form Generator if either of the COM1A/B1:0 bits are set and if OCnxi respective bit is set in  
TCCR1D register. However, the OC1A/Bi 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 OC1A/Bi  
pin (DDR_OC1A/Bi) must be set as output before the OC1A/B 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 12-1, Table 12-2 and Table 12-3 for details.  
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC1A/B state before the  
output is enabled. Note that some COM1A/B1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of  
operation. See “16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 135.  
The COM1A/B1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.  
12.8.2  
Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation  
The Waveform Generator uses the COM1A/B1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM  
modes. For all modes, setting the COM1A/B1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no  
action on the OC1A/B Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare  
output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 12-1 on page 135. For fast PWM mode  
refer to Table 12-2 on page 136, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM  
refer to Table 12-3 on page 136.  
A change of the COM1A/B1:0 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 FOC1A/B strobe bits.  
12.9 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 (COM1A/B1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting  
sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM1A/B1:0 bits control  
whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM).  
125  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
For non-PWM modes the COM1A/B1:0 bits control whether the output should be set, cleared  
or toggle at a compare match (See ”Compare Match Output Unit” on page 123.). The OCnxi  
bits over control the setting of the COM1A/B1:0 bits as shown in Figure 12-6 on page 125.  
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 133.  
12.9.1  
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 over-  
flow 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 inter-  
val 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.  
12.9.2  
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 res-  
olution. 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 12-7. The counter value (TCNT1)  
increases until a compare match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter  
(TCNT1) is cleared.

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 log-  
ical 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) and OC1Ai is set. 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:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= --------------------------------------------------------  
OCnA

N
(1 + OCRnA)  
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.  
12.9.3  
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 (OC1A/B) is set  
on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1A/B, and cleared at TOP. In inverting Com-  
pare 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 opera-  
tion. 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:  
log(TOP + 1)  
R
= ----------------------------------  
FPWM  
log(2)  
127  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
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  
12-8. 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 OCR1A/B and TCNT1.  
The OC1A/B interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addi-  
tion 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  
OCR1A/B. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when  
any of the OCR1A/B 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. How-  
ever, 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 OC1A/B  
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 COM1A/B1:0 to three (see Table 12-2 on page  
136). The actual OC1A/B value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the  
port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The PWM waveform is generated  
by setting (or clearing) the OC1A/B Register at the compare match between OCR1A/B and  
TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1A/B 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:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= -------------------------------------  
OCnxPWM  
N
(1 + TOP)  
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B Register represents special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOTTOM  
(0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the  
OCR1A/B equal to TOP will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity  
of the output set by the COM1A/B1:0 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). The wave-  
form generated will have a maximum frequency of f 1A = f  
/2 when OCR1A is set to  
OC  
clk_I/O  
zero (0x0000). This feature is similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buf-  
fer feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.  
12.9.4  
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  
(OC1A/B) is cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1A/B 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:  
log(TOP + 1)  
R
= ----------------------------------  
PCPWM

9219A–RFID–01/11  
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 12-9.  
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 OCR1A/B and TCNT1.  
The OC1A/B interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

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 OCR1A/B 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  
OCR1A/B. Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when  
any of the OCR1A/B Registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 12-9 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  
OCR1A/B Register. Since the OCR1A/B 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  
OC1A/B pins. Setting the COM1A/B1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an  
inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1A/B1:0 to three (See Table on  
page 136). The actual OC1A/B value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for  
the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The PWM waveform is gener-  
ated by setting (or clearing) the OC1A/B Register at the compare match between OCR1A/B  
and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC1A/B Register at  
compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the counter decrements. The PWM fre-  
quency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following  
equation:  
f

The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B Register represent special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOT-  
TOM 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.  
12.9.5  
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 (OC1A/B) is cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and  
OCR1A/B 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 max-  
imum 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 OCR1A/B Register is updated by the OCR1A/B Buffer Register, (see Fig-  
ure 12-9 and Figure 12-10).  
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:  
log(TOP + 1)  
R

PFCPWM

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 fre-  
quency correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 12-10. 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 OCR1A/B and TCNT1. The OC1A/B  
interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1A/B  
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  
OCR1A/B.  
As Figure 12-10 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, sym-  
metrical in all periods. Since the OCR1A/B 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. How-  
ever, 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

if the data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The  
PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1A/B Register at the compare  
match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting)  
the OC1A/B Register at compare match between OCR1A/B 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:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= ---------------------------------  
OCnxPFCPWM  
2
N
TOP  
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B Register represents special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOT-  
TOM 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.  
12.10 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 OCR1A/B Register is updated with the OCR1A/B buffer value  
(only for modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 12-11 shows a timing diagram for the setting  
of OCF1A/B.

• 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 (OC1Ai and OC1Bi respec-  
tively) behavior. If one or both of the COM1A1:0 bits are written to one, the OC1Ai 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 OC1Bi output overrides the normal port functionality of  
the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit and  
OC1xi bit (TCCR1D) corresponding to the OC1Ai or OC1Bi pin must be set in order to enable  
the output driver.  
When the OC1Ai or OC1Bi is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1A/B1:0 bits is  
dependent of the WGM13:0 bits setting. Table 12-1 shows the COM1A/B1:0 bit functionality  
when the WGM13:0 bits are set to a Normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).

• 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 Cap-  
ture 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

• Bit 7 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for Channel A  
• Bit 6 – 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 OC1nx output is changed according to its COM1A/B1:0 and OC1nx bits setting. Note that  
the FOC1A/FOC1B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the  
COM1A/B1:0 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.

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 115.  
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a  
compare match between TCNT1 and one of the OCR1A/B 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 OC1A/B 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 115.

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 12-4 on page 137 for the TOV1  
flag behavior when using another WGM13:0 bit setting.  
TOV1 is automatically cleared when the Timer/Counter1 Overflow Interrupt Vector is exe-  
cuted. Alternatively, TOV1 can be cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.

9219A–RFID–01/11  
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 13-2. 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. Mas-  
ter 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 Mas-  
ter 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 trans-  
mission 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 13-2. SPI Master-slave Interconnection  
SHIFT  
ENABLE  
The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direc-  
tion. 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  
f
/4.

When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overrid-  
den according to Table 13-1. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to “Alternate

13.2 SS Pin Functionality  
13.2.1  
Slave Mode  
When the SPI is configured as a Slave, the Slave Select (SS) pin is always input. When SS is  
held low, the SPI is activated, and MISO becomes an output if configured so by the user. All  
other pins are inputs. When SS is driven high, all pins are inputs, and the SPI is passive, which  
means that it will not receive incoming data. Note that the SPI logic will be reset once the SS  
pin is driven high.  
The SS pin is useful for packet/byte synchronization to keep the slave bit counter synchronous  
with the master clock generator. When the SS pin is driven high, the SPI slave will immediately  
reset the send and receive logic, and drop any partially received data in the Shift Register.  
13.2.2  
Master Mode  
When the SPI is configured as a Master (MSTR in SPCR is set), the user can determine the  
direction of the SS pin.  
If SS is configured as an output, the pin is a general output pin which does not affect the SPI  
system. Typically, the pin will be driving the SS pin of the SPI Slave.  
If SS is configured as an input, it must be held high to ensure Master SPI operation. If the SS  
pin is driven low by peripheral circuitry when the SPI is configured as a Master with the SS pin  
defined as an input, the SPI system interprets this as another master selecting the SPI as a  
slave and starting to send data to it. To avoid bus contention, the SPI system takes the follow-  
ing actions:  
1. The MSTR bit in SPCR is cleared and the SPI system becomes a Slave. As a result  
of the SPI becoming a Slave, the MOSI and SCK pins become inputs.  
2. The SPIF flag in SPSR is set, and if the SPI interrupt is enabled, and the I-bit in  
SREG is set, the interrupt routine will be executed.  
Thus, when interrupt-driven SPI transmission is used in Master mode, and there exists a pos-  
sibility that SS is driven low, the interrupt should always check that the MSTR bit is still set. If  
the MSTR bit has been cleared by a slave select, it must be set by the user to re-enable SPI  
Master mode.

When the SPE bit is written to one, the SPI is enabled. This bit must be set to enable any SPI  
operations.

• Bit 5 – DORD: Data Order  
When the DORD bit is written to one, the LSB of the data word is transmitted first.  
When the DORD bit is written to zero, the MSB of the data word is transmitted first.  
• Bit 4 – MSTR: Master/Slave Select  
This bit selects Master SPI mode when written to one, and Slave SPI mode when written logic  
zero. If SS is configured as an input and is driven low while MSTR is set, MSTR will be  
cleared, and SPIF in SPSR will become set. The user will then have to set MSTR to re-enable  
SPI Master mode.  
• Bit 3 – CPOL: Clock Polarity  
When this bit is written to one, SCK is high when idle. When CPOL is written to zero, SCK is  
low when idle. Refer to Figure 13-3 and Figure 13-4 for an example. The CPOL functionality is

• Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag  
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF flag is set. An interrupt is generated if SPIE in  
SPCR is set and global interrupts are enabled. If SS is an input and is driven low when the SPI  
is in Master mode, this will also set the SPIF flag. SPIF is cleared by hardware when executing  
the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the SPIF bit is cleared by first read-  
ing the SPI Status Register with SPIF set, then accessing the SPI Data Register (SPDR).  
• Bit 6 – WCOL: Write COLlision Flag  
The WCOL bit is set if the SPI Data Register (SPDR) is written during a data transfer. The  
WCOL bit (and the SPIF bit) are cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with WCOL  
set, and then accessing the SPI Data Register.  
• Bit 5..1 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® AVR® and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 0 – SPI2X: Double SPI Speed Bit  
When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when the  
SPI is in Master mode (see Table 13-4). This means that the minimum SCK period will be two  
CPU clock periods. When the SPI is configured as Slave, the SPI is only guaranteed to work at  
fclkio/4 or lower.  
The SPI interface on the Atmel AVR is also used for program memory and EEPROM down-  
loading or uploading. See “Serial Downloading” on page 249 for serial programming and  
verification.

13.3 Data Modes  
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data, which are  
determined by control bits CPHA and CPOL. The SPI data transfer formats are shown in Fig-  
ure 13-3 and Figure 13-4. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the  
SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. This is clearly seen by sum-  
marizing Table 13-2 and Table 13-3, as done below:

14.2 Overview  
The Universal Serial Interface, or USI, provides the basic hardware resources needed for  
serial communication. Combined with a minimum of control software, the USI allows signifi-  
cantly higher transfer rates and uses less code space than solutions based on software only.  
Interrupts are included to minimize the processor load.  
A simplified block diagram of the USI is shown on Figure 14-1 For the actual placement of I/O  
pins, refer to Section 1.3 “Pin Configuration” on page 6. CPU accessible I/O Registers, includ-  
ing 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 Descriptions” on page 159.

The 8-bit USI Data Register is directly accessible via the data bus and contains the incoming  
and outgoing data. The register has no buffering so the data must be read as quickly as possi-  
ble to ensure that no data is lost. The USI Data Register is a serial shift register and the most  
significant bit that is the output of the serial shift register is connected to one of two output pins  
depending of the wire mode configuration.  
152  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
A transparent latch is inserted between the USI Data Register Output and output pin, which  
delays the change of data output to the opposite clock edge of the data input sampling. The  
serial input is always sampled from the Data Input (DI) pin independent of the configuration.  
The 4-bit counter can be both read and written via the data bus, and can generate an overflow  
interrupt. Both the USI Data Register and the counter are clocked simultaneously by the same  
clock source. This allows the counter to count the number of bits received or transmitted and  
generate an interrupt when the transfer is complete. Note that when an external clock source  
is selected the counter counts both clock edges. In this case the counter counts the number of  
edges, and not the number of bits. The clock can be selected from three different sources: The  
USCK pin, Timer/Counter0 Compare Match or from software.  
The Two-wire clock control unit can generate an interrupt when a start condition is detected on  
the Two-wire bus. It can also generate wait states by holding the clock pin low after a start  
condition is detected, or after the counter overflows.  
14.3 Functional Descriptions  
14.3.1  
Three-wire Mode  
The USI Three-wire mode is compliant to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) mode 0 and 1,  
but does not have the slave select (SS) pin functionality. However, this feature can be imple-  
mented in software if necessary. Pin names used by this mode are: DI, DO, and USCK.

Figure 14-2 shows two USI units operating in Three-wire mode, one as Master and one as  
Slave. The two USI Data Register are interconnected in such way that after eight USCK  
clocks, the data in each register are interchanged. The same clock also increments the USI’s  
4-bit counter. The Counter Overflow (interrupt) Flag, or USIOIF, can therefore be used to  
determine when a transfer is completed.  
153  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
The clock is generated by the Master device software by toggling the USCK pin via the PORT  
Register or by writing a one to the USITC bit in USICR.

The Three-wire mode timing is shown in Figure 14-3 At the top of the figure is a USCK cycle  
reference. One bit is shifted into the USI Data Register (USIDR) for each of these cycles. The  
USCK timing is shown for both external clock modes. In External Clock mode 0 (USICS0 = 0),  
DI is sampled at positive edges, and DO is changed (Data Register is shifted by one) at nega-  
tive edges. External Clock mode 1 (USICS0 = 1) uses the opposite edges versus mode 0, i.e.,  
samples data at negative and changes the output at positive edges. The USI clock modes cor-  
responds to the SPI data mode 0 and 1.  
Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 14-3), a bus transfer involves the following steps:  
1. The Slave device and Master device sets up its data output and, depending on the  
protocol used, enables its output driver (mark A and B). The output is set up by writ-  
ing the data to be transmitted to the USI Data Register. Enabling of the output is done  
by setting the corresponding bit in the port Data Direction Register. Note that point A  
and B does not have any specific order, but both must be at least one half USCK  
cycle before point C where the data is sampled. This must be done to ensure that the  
data setup requirement is satisfied. The 4-bit counter is reset to zero.  
2. The Master generates a clock pulse by software toggling the USCK line twice (C and  
D). The bit value on the slave and master’s data input (DI) pin is sampled by the USI  
on the first edge (C), and the data output is changed on the opposite edge (D). The  
4-bit counter will count both edges.  
3. Step 2. is repeated eight times for a complete register (byte) transfer.  
4. After eight clock pulses (i.e., 16 clock edges) the counter will overflow and indicate  
that the transfer is completed. The data bytes transferred must now be processed  
before a new transfer can be initiated. The overflow interrupt will wake up the proces-  
sor if it is set to Idle mode. Depending of the protocol used the slave device can now  
set its output to high impedance.

that the DO and USCK pins are enabled as output in the DDRA or DDRB Register. 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 r16 Register.  
The second and third instructions clears the USI Counter Overflow Flag and the USI counter  
value. The fourth and fifth instruction set Three-wire mode, positive edge Shift Register clock,  
count at USITC strobe, and toggle USCK. The loop is repeated 16 times.

The code is size optimized using only eight instructions (+ ret). The code example assumes  
that the DO is configured as output and USCK pin is configured as input in the DDR Register.  
The value stored in register r16 prior to the function is called is transferred to the master  
device, and when the transfer is completed the data received from the Master is stored back  
into the r16 Register.  
Note that the first two instructions is for initialization only and needs only to be executed  
once.These instructions sets Three-wire mode and positive edge USI Data Register clock.  
The loop is repeated until the USI Counter Overflow Flag is set.  
14.3.4  
Two-wire Mode  
The USI Two-wire mode is compliant to the Inter IC (TWI) bus protocol, but without slew rate  
limiting on outputs and input noise filtering. Pin names used by this mode are SCL and SDA.

MASTER  
Figure 14-4 shows two USI units operating in Two-wire mode, one as Master and one as  
Slave. It is only the physical layer that is shown since the system operation is highly depen-  
dent of the communication scheme used. The main differences between the Master and Slave  
operation at this level, is the serial clock generation which is always done by the Master, and  
only the Slave uses the clock control unit. Clock generation must be implemented in software,  
but the shift operation is done automatically by both devices. Note that only clocking on nega-  
tive edge for shifting data is of practical use in this mode. The slave can insert wait states at  
start or end of transfer by forcing the SCL clock low. This means that the Master must always  
check if the SCL line was actually released after it has generated a positive edge.  
Since the clock also increments the counter, a counter overflow can be used to indicate that  
the transfer is completed. The clock is generated by the master by toggling the USCK pin via  
the PORT Register.  
The data direction is not given by the physical layer. A protocol, like the one used by the  
TWI-bus, must be implemented to control the data flow.

Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 14-5), a bus transfer involves the following steps:  
1. The a start condition is generated by the Master by forcing the SDA low line while the  
SCL line is high (A). SDA can be forced low either by writing a zero to bit 7 of the Shift  
Register, or by setting the corresponding bit in the PORT Register to zero. Note that  
the USI Data Register bit must be set to one for the output to be enabled. The slave  
device’s start detector logic (Figure 14-6.) detects the start condition and sets the  
USISIF Flag. The flag can generate an interrupt if necessary.  
2. In addition, the start detector will hold the SCL line low after the Master has forced an  
negative edge on this line (B). This allows the Slave to wake up from sleep or com-  
plete its other tasks before setting up the USI Data Register to receive the address.  
This is done by clearing the start condition flag and reset the counter.  
3. The Master set the first bit to be transferred and releases the SCL line (C). The Slave  
samples the data and shift it into the USI Data Register at the positive edge of the  
SCL clock.  
4. After eight bits are transferred containing slave address and data direction (read or  
write), the Slave counter overflows and the SCL line is forced low (D). If the slave is  
not the one the Master has addressed, it releases the SCL line and waits for a new  
start condition.  
5. If the Slave is addressed it holds the SDA line low during the acknowledgment cycle  
before holding the SCL line low again (i.e., the Counter Register must be set to 14  
before releasing SCL at (D)). Depending of the R/W bit the Master or Slave enables  
its output. If the bit is set, a master read operation is in progress (i.e., the slave drives  
the SDA line) The slave can hold the SCL line low after the acknowledge (E).  
6. Multiple bytes can now be transmitted, all in same direction, until a stop condition is  
given by the Master (F). Or a new start condition is given.  
If the Slave is not able to receive more data it does not acknowledge the data byte it has last  
received. When the Master does a read operation it must terminate the operation by force the  
acknowledge bit low after the last byte transmitted.

Start Condition Detector  
The start condition detector is shown in Figure 14-6. The SDA line is delayed (in the range of  
50 to 300ns) to ensure valid sampling of the SCL line. The start condition detector is only  
enabled in Two-wire mode.  
The start condition detector is working asynchronously and can therefore wake up the proces-  
sor from the Power-down sleep mode. However, the protocol used might have restrictions on  
the SCL hold time. Therefore, when using this feature in this case the Oscillator start-up time  
set by the CKSEL Fuses (see “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 28) must also be  
taken into the consideration. Refer to the USISIF bit description on page 160 for further  
details.

14.4 Alternative USI Usage  
When the USI unit is not used for serial communication, it can be set up to do alternative tasks  
due to its flexible design.  
14.4.1  
14.4.2  
14.4.3  
14.4.4  
Half-duplex Asynchronous Data Transfer  
By utilizing the USI Data Register in Three-wire mode, it is possible to implement a more com-  
pact and higher performance UART than by software only.  
4-bit Counter  
The 4-bit counter can be used as a stand-alone counter with overflow interrupt. Note that if the  
counter is clocked externally, both clock edges will generate an increment.  
12-bit Timer/Counter  
Combining the USI 4-bit counter and Timer/Counter0 allows them to be used as a 12-bit  
counter.  
Edge Triggered External Interrupt  
By setting the counter to maximum value (F) it can function as an additional external interrupt.  
The Overflow Flag and Interrupt Enable bit are then used for the external interrupt. This fea-  
ture is selected by the USICS1 bit.  
14.4.5  
Software Interrupt  
The counter overflow interrupt can be used as a software interrupt triggered by a clock strobe.

Initial Value  
• Bits 7:0 – USID7..0: USI Data  
When accessing the USI Data Register (USIDR) the Serial Register can be accessed directly.  
If a serial clock occurs at the same cycle the register is written, the register will contain the  
value written and no shift is performed. A (left) shift operation is performed depending of the  
USICS1..0 bits setting. The shift operation can be controlled by an external clock edge, by a  
Timer/Counter0 Compare Match, or directly by software using the USICLK strobe bit. Note  
that even when no wire mode is selected (USIWM1..0 = 0) both the external data input  
(DI/SDA) and the external clock input (USCK/SCL) can still be used by the USI Data Register.  
The output pin in use, DO or SDA depending on the wire mode, is connected via the output  
latch to the most significant bit (bit 7) of the Data Register. The output latch is open (transpar-  
ent) during the first half of a serial clock cycle when an external clock source is selected  
(USICS1 = 1), and constantly open when an internal clock source is used (USICS1 = 0). The  
output will be changed immediately when a new MSB written as long as the latch is open. The  
latch ensures that data input is sampled and data output is changed on opposite clock edges.

• Bits 7:0 – USID7..0: USI Buffer  
The content of the Serial Register is loaded to the USI Buffer Register when the transfer is  
completed, and instead of accessing the USI Data Register (the Serial Register) the USI Data  
Buffer can be accessed when the CPU reads the received data. This gives the CPU time to  
handle other program tasks too as the controlling of the USI is not so timing critical. The USI  
flags as set same as when reading the USIDR register.

• Bit 7 – USISIF: Start Condition Interrupt Flag  
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USISIF Flag is set (to one) when a start condition is  
detected. When output disable mode or Three-wire mode is selected and (USICSx = 11b &  
USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 10b & USICLK = 0), any edge on the SCK pin sets the flag.  
An interrupt will be generated when the flag is set while the USISIE bit in USICR and the  
Global Interrupt Enable Flag are set. The flag will only be cleared by writing a logical one to the  
USISIF bit. Clearing this bit will release the start detection hold of USCL in Two-wire mode.  
A start condition interrupt will wakeup the processor from all sleep modes.  
• Bit 6 – USIOIF: Counter Overflow Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set (one) when the 4-bit counter overflows (i.e., at the transition from 15 to 0). An  
interrupt will be generated when the flag is set while the USIOIE bit in USICR and the Global  
Interrupt Enable Flag are set. The flag will only be cleared if a one is written to the USIOIF bit.  
Clearing this bit will release the counter overflow hold of SCL in Two-wire mode.  
A counter overflow interrupt will wakeup the processor from Idle sleep mode.  
• Bit 5 – USIPF: Stop Condition Flag  
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USIPF Flag is set (one) when a stop condition is  
detected. The flag is cleared by writing a one to this bit. Note that this is not an Interrupt Flag.  
This signal is useful when implementing Two-wire bus master arbitration.  
• Bit 4 – USIDC: Data Output Collision  
This bit is logical one when bit 7 in the USI Data Register differs from the physical pin value.  
The flag is only valid when Two-wire mode is used. This signal is useful when implementing  
Two-wire bus master arbitration.

• Bits 3:0 – USICNT3..0: Counter Value  
These bits reflect the current 4-bit counter value. The 4-bit counter value can directly be read  
or written by the CPU.  
The 4-bit counter increments by one for each clock generated either by the external clock  
edge detector, by a Timer/Counter0 Compare Match, or by software using USICLK or USITC  
strobe bits. The clock source depends of the setting of the USICS1..0 bits. For external clock  
operation a special feature is added that allows the clock to be generated by writing to the  
USITC strobe bit. This feature is enabled by write a one to the USICLK bit while setting an  
external clock source (USICS1 = 1).  
Note that even when no wire mode is selected (USIWM1..0 = 0) the external clock input  
(USCK/SCL) are can still be used by the counter.

The Control Register includes interrupt enable control, wire mode setting, Clock Select setting,  
and clock strobe.  
• Bit 7 – USISIE: Start Condition Interrupt Enable  
Setting this bit to one enables the Start Condition detector interrupt. If there is a pending inter-  
rupt when the USISIE and the Global Interrupt Enable Flag is set to one, this will immediately  
be executed. Refer to the USISIF bit description on page 160 for further details.  
• Bit 6 – USIOIE: Counter Overflow Interrupt Enable  
Setting this bit to one enables the Counter Overflow interrupt. If there is a pending interrupt  
when the USIOIE and the Global Interrupt Enable Flag is set to one, this will immediately be  
executed. Refer to the USIOIF bit description on page 160 for further details.  
• Bit 5:4 – USIWM1:0: Wire Mode  
These bits set the type of wire mode to be used. Basically only the function of the outputs are  
affected by these bits. Data and clock inputs are not affected by the mode selected and will  
always have the same function. The counter and USI Data Register can therefore be clocked  
externally, and data input sampled, even when outputs are disabled. The relations between  
USIWM1:0 and the USI operation is summarized in Table 14-1.

Outputs, clock hold, and start detector disabled. Port pins operates as normal.  
Three-wire mode. Uses DO, DI, and USCK pins.  
The Data Output (DO) pin overrides the corresponding bit in the PORT Register  
in this mode. However, the corresponding DDR bit still controls the data  
direction. When the port pin is set as input the pins pull-up is controlled by the  
PORT bit.  
0
1
The Data Input (DI) and Serial Clock (USCK) pins do not affect the normal port  
operation. When operating as master, clock pulses are software generated by  
toggling the PORT Register, while the data direction is set to output. The USITC  
bit in the USICR Register can be used for this purpose.  
Two-wire mode. Uses SDA (DI) and SCL (USCK) pins(1)  
.
The Serial Data (SDA) and the Serial Clock (SCL) pins are bi-directional and  
uses open-collector output drives. The output drivers are enabled by setting the  
corresponding bit for SDA and SCL in the DDR Register.  
When the output driver is enabled for the SDA pin, the output driver will force the  
line SDA low if the output of the USI Data Register or the corresponding bit in the  
PORT Register is zero. Otherwise the SDA line will not be driven (i.e., it is  
released). When the SCL pin output driver is enabled the SCL line will be forced  
low if the corresponding bit in the PORT Register is zero, or by the start detector.  
Otherwise the SCL line will not be driven.  
1
0
The SCL line is held low when a start detector detects a start condition and the  
output is enabled. Clearing the Start Condition Flag (USISIF) releases the line.  
The SDA and SCL pin inputs is not affected by enabling this mode. Pull-ups on  
the SDA and SCL port pin are disabled in Two-wire mode.  
Two-wire mode. Uses SDA and SCL pins.  
Same operation as for the Two-wire mode described above, except that the SCL  
line is also held low when a counter overflow occurs, and is held low until the  
Counter Overflow Flag (USIOIF) is cleared.

1
Note:  
1. The DI and USCK pins are renamed to Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) respec-  
tively to avoid confusion between the modes of operation.  
• Bit 3:2 – USICS1:0: Clock Source Select  
These bits set the clock source for the USI Data Register and counter. The data output latch  
ensures that the output is changed at the opposite edge of the sampling of the data input  
(DI/SDA) when using external clock source (USCK/SCL). When software strobe or  
Timer/Counter0 Compare Match clock option is selected, the output latch is transparent and  
therefore the output is changed immediately. Clearing the USICS1:0 bits enables software  
strobe option. When using this option, writing a one to the USICLK bit clocks both the USI  
Data Register and the counter. For external clock source (USICS1 = 1), the USICLK bit is no  
longer used as a strobe, but selects between external clocking and software clocking by the  
USITC strobe bit.  
Table 14-2 on page 163 shows the relationship between the USICS1..0 and USICLK setting  
and clock source used for the USI Data Register and the 4-bit counter.

• Bit 1 – USICLK: Clock Strobe  
Writing a one to this bit location strobes the USI Data Register to shift one step and the coun-  
ter to increment by one, provided that the USICS1..0 bits are set to zero and by doing so the  
software clock strobe option is selected. The output will change immediately when the clock  
strobe is executed, i.e., in the same instruction cycle. The value shifted into the USI Data Reg-  
ister is sampled the previous instruction cycle. The bit will be read as zero.  
When an external clock source is selected (USICS1 = 1), the USICLK function is changed  
from a clock strobe to a Clock Select Register. Setting the USICLK bit in this case will select  
the USITC strobe bit as clock source for the 4-bit counter (see Table 14-2).  
• Bit 0 – USITC: Toggle Clock Port Pin  
Writing a one to this bit location toggles the USCK/SCL value either from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0.  
The toggling is independent of the setting in the Data Direction Register, but if the PORT value  
is to be shown on the pin the DDB2 must be set as output (to one). This feature allows easy  
clock generation when implementing master devices. The bit will be read as zero.  
When an external clock source is selected (USICS1 = 1) and the USICLK bit is set to one,  
writing to the USITC strobe bit will directly clock the 4-bit counter. This allows an early detec-  
tion of when the transfer is done when operating as a master device.

15. LIN / UART - Local Interconnect Network Controller or UART  
The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently  
supports the control of mechatronics nodes in distributed automotive applications. The main  
properties of the LIN bus are:  
Single master with multiple slaves concept  
Low cost silicon implementation based on common UART/SCI interface  
Self synchronization with on-chip oscillator in slave node  
Deterministic signal transmission with signal propagation time computable in advance  
Low cost single-wire implementation  
Speed up to 20 Kbit/s.  
LIN provides a cost efficient bus communication where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN  
are not required. The specification of the line driver/receiver needs to match the ISO9141  
NRZ-standard.  
If LIN is not required, the controller alternatively can be programmed as Universal Asynchro-  
nous serial Receiver and Transmitter (UART).

15.3 LIN Protocol  
15.3.1  
Master and Slave  
A LIN cluster consists of one master task and several slave tasks. A master node contains the  
master task as well as a slave task. All other nodes contain a slave task only.

The master task decides when and which frame shall be transferred on the bus. The slave  
tasks provide the data transported by each frame. Both the master task and the slave task are  
parts of the Frame handler  
15.3.2  
Frames  
A frame consists of a header (provided by the master task) and a response (provided by a  
slave task).  
The header consists of a BREAK and SYNC pattern followed by a PROTECTED IDENTIFIER.  
The identifier uniquely defines the purpose of the frame. The slave task appointed for provid-  
ing the response associated with the identifier transmits it. The response consists of a DATA  
field and a CHECKSUM field.

Data Transport  
Two types of data may be transported in a frame; signals or diagnostic messages.  
• Signals  
Signals are scalar values or byte arrays that are packed into the data field of a frame. A  
signal is always present at the same position in the data field for all frames with the same  
identifier.  
• Diagnostic messages  
Diagnostic messages are transported in frames with two reserved identifiers. The  
interpretation of the data field depends on the data field itself as well as the state of the  
communicating nodes.  
15.3.4  
15.3.5  
Schedule Table  
The master task (in the master node) transmits frame headers based on a schedule table. The  
schedule table specifies the identifiers for each header and the interval between the start of a  
frame and the start of the following frame. The master application may use different schedule  
tables and select among them.  
Compatibility with LIN 1.3  
LIN 2.1 is a super-set of LIN 1.3.  
A LIN 2.1 master node can handle clusters consisting of both LIN 1.3 slaves and/or LIN 2.1  
slaves. The master will then avoid requesting the new LIN 2.1 features from a LIN 1.3 slave:  
• Enhanced checksum,  
• Re-configuration and diagnostics,  
• Automatic baud rate detection,  
• "Response error" status monitoring.  
LIN 2.1 slave nodes can not operate with a LIN 1.3 master node (e.g. the LIN1.3 master does  
not support the enhanced checksum).  
The LIN 2.1 physical layer is backwards compatible with the LIN1.3 physical layer. But not the  
other way around. The LIN 2.1 physical layer sets greater requirements, i.e. a master node  
using the LIN 2.1 physical layer can operate in a LIN 1.3 cluster.  
15.4 LIN / UART Controller  
The LIN/UART controller is divided in three main functions:  
• Tx LIN Header function,  
• Rx LIN Header function,  
• LIN Response function.  
These functions mainly use two services:  
• Rx service,  
• Tx service.  
Because these two services are basically UART services, the controller is also able to switch  
into an UART function.  
167  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
15.4.1  
LIN Overview  
The LIN/UART controller is designed to match as closely as possible to the LIN software appli-  
cation structure. The LIN software application is developed as independent tasks, several  
slave tasks and one master task (c.f. Section 15.3.4 on page 167). The Atmel® AVR® con-  
forms to this perspective. The only link between the master task and the slave task will be at  
the cross-over point where the interrupt routine is called once a new identifier is available.  
Thus, in a master node, housing both master and slave task, the Tx LIN Header function will  
alert the slave task of an identifier presence. In the same way, in a slave node, the Rx LIN  
Header function will alert the slave task of an identifier presence.  
When the slave task is warned of an identifier presence, it has first to analyze it to know what  
to do with the response. Hardware flags identify the presence of one of the specific identifiers  
from 60 (0x3C) up to 63 (0x3F).  
For LIN communication, only four interrupts need to be managed:  
• LIDOK: New LIN identifier available,  
• LRXOK: LIN response received,  
LTXOK: LIN response transmitted,  
• LERR: LIN Error(s).  
The wake-up management can be automated using the UART wake-up capability and a node  
sending a minimum of 5 low bits (0xF0) for LIN 2.1 and 8 low bits (0x80) for LIN 1.3. Pin  
change interrupt on LIN wake-up signal can be also used to exit the device of one of its sleep  
modes.  
Extended frame identifiers 62 (0x3E) and 63 (0x3F) are reserved to allow the embedding of  
user-defined message formats and future LIN formats. The byte transfer mode offered by the  
UART will ensure the upwards compatibility of LIN slaves with accommodation of the LIN  
protocol.  
15.4.2  
UART Overview  
The LIN/UART controller can also function as a conventional UART. By default, the UART  
operates as a full duplex controller. It has local loop back circuitry for test purposes. The UART  
has the ability to buffer one character for transmit and two for receive. The receive buffer is  
made of one 8-bit serial register followed by one 8-bit independent buffer register. Automatic  
flag management is implemented when the application puts or gets characters, thus reducing  
the software overhead. Because transmit and receive services are independent, the user can  
save one device pin when one of the two services is not used. The UART has an enhanced  
baud rate generator providing a maximum error of 2% whatever the clock frequency and the  
targeted baud rate.

Enable / Disable  
LIN Commands  
Setting the LENA bit in LINCR register enables the LIN/UART controller. To disable the  
LIN/UART controller, LENA bit must be written to 0. No wait states are implemented, so, the  
disable command is taken into account immediately.  
Clearing the LCMD[2] bit in LINCR register enables LIN commands.  
As shown in Table 15-1 on page 170, four functions controlled by the LCMD[1..0] bits of  
LINCR register are available (c.f. Figure 15-5 on page 169).  
15.4.6.1  
Rx Header / LIN Abort Function  
This function (or state) is mainly the withdrawal mode of the controller.  
When the controller has to execute a master task, this state is the start point before enabling a  
Tx Header command.  
When the controller has only to execute slave tasks, LIN header detection/acquisition is  
enabled as background function. At the end of such an acquisition (Rx Header function), auto-  
matically the appropriate flags are set, and in LIN 1.3, the LINDLR register is set with the  
uncoded length value.  
This state is also the start point before enabling the Tx or the Rx Response command.  
A running function (i.e. Tx Header, Tx or Rx Response ) can be aborted by clearing  
LCMD[1..0] bits in LINCR register (See ”Break-in-data” on page 180.). In this case, an abort  
flag - LABORT - in LINERR register will be set to inform the other software tasks. No wait  
states are implemented, so, the abort command is taken into account immediately.  
Rx Header function is responsible for:  
• The BREAK field detection,  
• The hardware re-synchronization analyzing the SYNCH field,  
• The reception of the PROTECTED IDENTIFIER field, the parity control and the update of  
the LINDLR register in case of LIN 1.3,  
• The starting of the Frame_Time_Out,  
• The checking of the LIN communication integrity.  
170  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
15.4.6.2  
Tx Header Function  
In accordance with the LIN protocol, only the master task must enable this function. The  
header is sent in the appropriate timed slots at the programmed baud rate (c.f. LINBRR & LIN-  
BTR registers).  
The controller is responsible for:  
• The transmission of the BREAK field - 13 dominant bits,  
• The transmission of the SYNCH field - character 0x55,  
• The transmission of the PROTECTED IDENTIFIER field. It is the full content of the LINIDR  
register (automatic check bits included).  
At the end of this transmission, the controller automatically returns to Rx Header / LIN Abort  
state (i.e. LCMD[1..0] = 00) after setting the appropriate flags. This function leaves the control-  
ler in the same setting as after the Rx Header function. This means that, in LIN 1.3, the  
LINDLR register is set with the uncoded length value at the end of the Tx Header function.  
During this function, the controller is also responsible for:  
• The starting of the Frame_Time_Out,  
• The checking of the LIN communication integrity.  
15.4.6.3  
Rx & TX Response Functions  
These functions are initiated by the slave task of a LIN node. They must be used after sending  
an header (master task) or after receiving an header (considered as belonging to the slave  
task). When the TX Response order is sent, the transmission begins. A Rx Response order  
can be sent up to the reception of the last serial bit of the first byte (before the stop-bit).  
In LIN 1.3, the header slot configures the LINDLR register. In LIN 2.1, the user must configure  
the LINDLR register, either LRXDL[3..0] for Rx Response either LTXDL[3..0] for Tx Response.  
When the command starts, the controller checks the LIN13 bit of the LINCR register to apply  
the right rule for computing the checksum. Checksum calculation over the DATA bytes and the  
PROTECTED IDENTIFIER byte is called enhanced checksum and it is used for communica-  
tion with LIN 2.1 slaves. Checksum calculation over the DATA bytes only is called classic  
checksum and it is used for communication with LIN 1.3 slaves. Note that identifiers 60 (0x3C)  
to 63 (0x3F) shall always use classic checksum.  
At the end of this reception or transmission, the controller automatically returns to Rx Header /  
LIN Abort state (i.e. LCMD[1..0] = 00) after setting the appropriate flags.  
If an LIN error occurs, the reception or the transmission is stopped, the appropriate flags are  
set and the LIN bus is left to recessive state.  
During these functions, the controller is responsible for:  
• The initialization of the checksum operator,  
• The transmission or the reception of ‘n’ data with the update of the checksum calculation,  
• The transmission or the checking of the CHECKSUM field,  
• The checking of the Frame_Time_Out,  
• The checking of the LIN communication integrity.  
While the controller is sending or receiving a response, BREAK and SYNCH fields can be  
detected and the identifier of this new header will be recorded. Of course, specific errors on  
the previous response will be maintained with this identifier reception.  
171  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
15.4.6.4  
Handling Data of LIN response  
A FIFO data buffer is used for data of the LIN response. After setting all parameters in the LIN-  
SEL register, repeated accesses to the LINDAT register perform data read or data write (c.f.  
“Data Management” on page 182).  
Note that LRXDL[3..0] and LTXDL[3..0] are not linked to the data access.  
15.4.7  
UART Commands  
Setting the LCMD[2] bit in LINENR register enables UART commands.  
Tx Byte and Rx Byte services are independent as shown in Table 15-1 on page 170.  
• Byte Transfer: the UART is selected but both Rx and Tx services are disabled,  
• Rx Byte: only the Rx service is enable but Tx service is disabled,  
• Tx Byte: only the Tx service is enable but Rx service is disabled,  
• Full Duplex: the UART is selected and both Rx and Tx services are enabled.  
This combination of services is controlled by the LCMD[1..0] bits of LINENR register (c.f. Fig-  
ure 15-5 on page 169).  
15.4.7.1  
15.4.7.2  
Data Handling  
Rx Service  
The FIFO used for LIN communication is disabled during UART accesses. LRXDL[3..0] and  
LTXDL[3..0] values of LINDLR register are then irrelevant. LINDAT register is then used as  
data register and LINSEL register is not relevant.  
Once this service is enabled, the user is warned of an in-coming character by the LRXOK flag  
of LINSIR register. Reading LINDAT register automatically clears the flag and makes free the  
second stage of the buffer. If the user considers that the in-coming character is irrelevant with-  
out reading it, he directly can clear the flag (see specific flag management described in  
Section 15.6.2 on page 185).  
The intrinsic structure of the Rx service offers a 2-byte buffer. The fist one is used for serial to  
parallel conversion, the second one receives the result of the conversion. This second buffer  
byte is reached reading LINDAT register. If the 2-byte buffer is full, a new in-coming character  
will overwrite the second one already recorded. An OVRERR error in LINERR register will  
then accompany this character when read.  
A FERR error in LINERR register will be set in case of framing error.  
15.4.7.3  
Tx Service  
If this service is enabled, the user sends a character by writing in LINDAT register. Automati-  
cally the LTXOK flag of LINSIR register is cleared. It will rise at the end of the serial  
transmission. If no new character has to be sent, LTXOK flag can be cleared separately (see  
specific flag management described in Section 15.6.2 on page 185).  
There is no transmit buffering.  
No error is detected by this service.

LIN Protocol Selection  
LIN13 bit in LINCR register is used to select the LIN protocol:  
• LIN13 = 0 (default): LIN 2.1 protocol,  
• LIN13 = 1: LIN 1.3 protocol.  
The controller checks the LIN13 bit in computing the checksum (enhanced checksum in  
LIN2.1 / classic checksum in LIN 1.3).  
This bit is irrelevant for UART commands.  
173

Configuration  
Depending on the mode (LIN or UART), LCONF[1..0] bits of the LINCR register set the con-

When the busy signal is set, some registers are locked, user writing is not allowed:  
• “LIN Control Register” - LINCR - except LCMD[2..0], LENA & LSWRES,  
• “LIN Baud Rate Registers” - LINBRRL & LINBRRH,  
• “LIN Data Length Register” - LINDLR,  
• “LIN Identifier Register” - LINIDR,  
• “LIN Data Register” - LINDAT.  
If the busy signal is set, the only available commands are:  
• LCMD[1..0] = 00 b, the abort command is taken into account at the end of the byte,  
• LENA = 0 and/or LCMD[2] = 0, the kill command is taken into account immediately,  
• LSWRES = 1, the reset command is taken into account immediately.  
Note that, if another command is entered during busy signal, the new command is not vali-  
dated and the LOVRERR bit flag of the LINERR register is set. The on-going transfer is not  
interrupted.  
15.5.5.2  
Busy Signal in UART Mode  
During the byte transmission, the busy signal is set. This locks some registers from being  
written:  
• “LIN Control Register” - LINCR - except LCMD[2..0], LENA & LSWRES,  
• “LIN Data Register” - LINDAT.  
The busy signal is not generated during a byte reception.  
15.5.6  
Bit Timing  
Baud rate Generator  
15.5.6.1  
The baud rate is defined to be the transfer rate in bits per second (bps):  
• BAUD: Baud rate (in bps),  
fclk : System I/O clock frequency,  
i/o  
• LDIV[11..0]: Contents of LINBRRH & LINBRRL registers - (0-4095), the pre-scaler  
receives clk as input clock.  
i/o  
• LBT[5..0]: Least significant bits of - LINBTR register- (0-63) is the number of samplings in a  
LIN or UART bit (default value 32).  
Equation for calculating baud rate:  
BAUD = fclk  
/ LBT[5..0] x (LDIV[11..0] + 1)  
i/o  
Equation for setting LINDIV value:  
LDIV[11..0] = ( fclk  
/ LBT[5..0] x BAUD ) - 1  
i/o  
Note that in reception a majority vote on three samplings is made.  
15.5.6.2  
Re-synchronization in LIN Mode  
When waiting for Rx Header, LBT[5..0] = 32 in LINBTR register. The re-synchronization  
begins when the BREAK is detected. If the BREAK size is not in the range (10.5 bits min., 28  
bits max. — 13 bits nominal), the BREAK is refused. The re-synchronization is done by adjust-  
ing LBT[5..0] value to the SYNCH field of the received header (0x55). Then the PROTECTED  
IDENTIFIER is sampled using the new value of LBT[5..0].  
175  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
The re-synchronization implemented in the controller tolerates a clock deviation of ± 20% and  
adjusts the baud rate in a ± 2% range.  
The new LBT[5..0] value will be used up to the end of the response. Then, the LBT[5..0] will be  
reset to 32 for the next header.  
The LINBTR register can be used to (software) re-calibrate the clock oscillator.  
The re-synchronization is not performed if the LIN node is enabled as a master.  
15.5.6.3  
Handling LBT[5..0]  
LDISR bit of LINBTR register is used to:  
• Disable the re-synchronization (for instance in the case of LIN MASTER node),  
To enable the setting of LBT[5..0] (to manually adjust the baud rate especially in the case of  
UART mode). A minimum of 8 is required for LBT[5..0] due to the sampling operation.  
Note that the LENA bit of LINCR register is important for this handling (see Figure 15-8 on  
page 176).

Data Length  
Section 15.4.6 “LIN Commands” on page 170 describes how to set or how are automatically  
set the LRXDL[3..0] or LTXDL[3..0] fields of LINDLR register before receiving or transmitting a  
response.  
In the case of Tx Response the LRXDL[3..0] will be used by the hardware to count the number  
of bytes already successfully sent.  
In the case of Rx Response the LTXDL[3..0] will be used by the hardware to count the number  
of bytes already successfully received.  
If an error occurs, this information is useful to the programmer to recover the LIN messages.  
15.5.7.1  
Data Length in LIN 2.1  
• If LTXDL[3..0]=0 only the CHECKSUM will be sent,  
• If LRXDL[3..0]=0 the first byte received will be interpreted as the CHECKSUM,  
• If LTXDL[3..0] or LRXDL[3..0] >8, values will be forced to 8 after the command setting and  
before sending or receiving of the first byte.

Information on response (ex: error on byte) is only available at the end of the serializa-  
tion/de-serialization of the byte.  
15.5.7.6  
Data Length in UART Mode  
• The UART mode forces LRXDL and LTXDL to 0 and disables the writing in LINDLR  
register,  
• Note that after reset, LRXDL and LTXDL are also forced to 0.  
15.5.8  
xxOK Flags  
There are three xxOK flags in LINSIR register:  
• LIDOK: LIN IDentifier OK  
It is set at the end of the header, either by the Tx Header function or by the Rx Header. In  
LIN 1.3, before generating LIDOK, the controller updates the LRXDL & LTXDL fields in  
LINDLR register.  
It is not driven in UART mode.  
• LRXOK: LIN RX response complete  
It is set at the end of the response by the Rx Response function in LIN mode and once a  
character is received in UART mode.  
LTXOK: LIN TX response complete  
It is set at the end of the response by the Tx Response function in LIN mode and once a  
character has been sent in UART mode.  
These flags can generate interrupts if the corresponding enable interrupt bit is set in the LINE-  
NIR register (see Section 15.5.13 “Interrupts” on page 181).

15.5.9  
xxERR Flags  
LERR bit of the LINSIR register is an logical ‘OR’ of all the bits of LINERR register (see Sec-  
tion 15.5.13 “Interrupts” on page 181). There are eight flags:  
• LBERR = LIN Bit ERRor.  
A unit that is sending a bit on the bus also monitors the bus. A LIN bit error will be flagged  
when the bit value that is monitored is different from the bit value that is sent. After  
detection of a LIN bit error the transmission is aborted.  
• LCERR = LIN Checksum ERRor.  
A LIN checksum error will be flagged if the inverted modulo-256 sum of all received data  
bytes (and the protected identifier in LIN 2.1) added to the checksum does not result in  
0xFF.  
• LPERR = LIN Parity ERRor (identifier).  
A LIN parity error in the IDENTIFIER field will be flagged if the value of the parity bits does  
not match with the identifier value. (See LP[1:0] bits in Section 15.6.8 “LIN Identifier  
Register - LINIDR” on page 189). A LIN slave application does not distinguish between  
corrupted parity bits and a corrupted identifier. The hardware does not undertake any  
correction. However, the LIN slave application has to solve this as:  
- known identifier (parity bits corrupted),  
- or corrupted identifier to be ignored,  
- or new identifier.  
• LSERR = LIN Synchronization ERRor.  
A LIN synchronization error will be flagged if a slave detects the edges of the SYNCH field  
outside the given tolerance.  
• LFERR = LIN Framing ERRor.  
A framing error will be flagged if dominant STOP bit is sampled.  
Same function in UART mode.  
LTOERR = LIN Time Out ERRor.  
A time-out error will be flagged if the MESSAGE frame is not fully completed within the  
maximum length T Frame_Maximum by any slave task upon transmission of the SYNCH and  
IDENTIFIER fields (see Section 15.5.10 “Frame Time Out” on page 180).  
• LOVERR = LIN OVerrun ERRor.  
Overrun error will be flagged if a new command (other than LIN Abort) is entered while  
‘Busy signal’ is present.  
In UART mode, an overrun error will be flagged if a received byte overwrites the byte stored  
in the serial input buffer.  
• LABORT  
LIN abort transfer reflects a previous LIN Abort command (LCMD[2..0] = 000) while ‘Busy  
signal’ is present.  
After each LIN error, the LIN controller stops its previous activity and returns to its withdrawal  
mode (LCMD[2..0] = 000 b) as illustrated in Figure 15-11 on page 178.  
Writing 1 in LERR of LINSIR register resets LERR bit and all the bits of the LINERR register.

15.5.10 Frame Time Out  
According to the LIN protocol, a frame time-out error is flagged if: T Frame > T Frame_Maximum  
.
This feature is implemented in the LIN/UART controller.

15.5.11 Break-in-data  
According to the LIN protocol, the LIN/UART controller can detect the BREAK/SYNC field  
sequence even if the break is partially superimposed with a byte of the response. When a  
BREAK/SYNC field sequence happens, the transfer in progress is aborted and the processing  
of the new frame starts.  
• On slave node(s), an error is generated (i.e. LBERR in case of Tx Response or LFERR in  
case of Rx Response). Information on data error is also available, refer to the Section  
15.5.7.5.  
• On master node, the user (code) is responsible for this aborting of frame. To do this, the  
master task has first to abort the on-going communication (clearing LCMD bits - LIN Abort  
command) and then to apply the Tx Header command. In this case, the abort error flag -  
LABORT - is set.  
On the slave node, the BREAK detection is processed with the synchronization setting avail-  
able when the LIN/UART controller processed the (aborted) response. But the  
re-synchronization restarts as usual. Due to a possible difference of timing reference between  
the BREAK field and the rest of the frame, the time-out values can be slightly inaccurate.  
15.5.12 Checksum  
The last field of a frame is the checksum.  
In LIN 2.1, the checksum contains the inverted eight bit sum with carry over all data bytes and  
the protected identifier. This calculation is called enhanced checksum.

CHECKSUM = 255 unsigned char

In LIN 1.3, the checksum contains the inverted eight bit sum with carry over all data bytes.  
This calculation is called classic checksum.

Frame identifiers 60 (0x3C) to 61 (0x3D) shall always use classic checksum.  
15.5.13 Interrupts  
As shown in Figure 15-13 on page 181, the four communication flags of the LINSIR register  
are combined to drive two interrupts. Each of these flags have their respective enable interrupt  
bit in LINENIR register.  
(see Section 15.5.8 “xxOK Flags” on page 178 and Section 15.5.9 “xxERR Flags” on page  
179).

15.5.14 Message Filtering  
Message filtering based upon the whole identifier is not implemented. Only a status for frame  
headers having 0x3C, 0x3D, 0x3E and 0x3F as identifier is available in the LINSIR register.  
Table 15-4. Frame Status

9219A–RFID–01/11  
The LIN protocol says that a message with an identifier from 60 (0x3C) up to 63 (0x3F) uses a  
classic checksum (sum over the data bytes only). Software will be responsible for switching  
correctly the LIN13 bit to provide/check this expected checksum (the insertion of the ID field in  
the computation of the CRC is set - or not - just after entering the Rx or Tx Response  
command).  
15.5.15 Data Management  
15.5.15.1  
LIN FIFO Data Buffer  
To preserve register allocation, the LIN data buffer is seen as a FIFO (with address pointer  
accessible). This FIFO is accessed via the LINDX[2..0] field of LINSEL register through the  
LINDAT register.  
LINDX[2..0], the data index, is the address pointer to the required data byte. The data byte can  
be read or written. The data index is automatically incremented after each LINDAT access if  
the LAINC (active low) bit is cleared. A roll-over is implemented, after data index=7 it is data  
index=0. Otherwise, if LAINC bit is set, the data index needs to be written (updated) before  
each LINDAT access.  
The first byte of a LIN frame is stored at the data index=0, the second one at the data index=1,  
and so on. Nevertheless, LINSEL must be initialized by the user before use.  
15.5.15.2  
UART Data Register  
The LINDAT register is the data register (no buffering - no FIFO). In write access, LINDAT will  
be for data out and in read access, LINDAT will be for data in.  
In UART mode the LINSEL register is unused.  
15.5.16 OCD Support  
When a debugger break occurs, the state machine of the LIN/UART controller is stopped  
(included frame time-out) and further communication may be corrupted.

The reader front end can be operated with one external supply voltage or with two exter-  
nally-stabilized supply volt-ages for extended driver output voltage or be operated from 12V  
vehicle battery voltage. The 12V supply capability is achieved via the on-chip power supply  
(see Figure 16-1). The power supply provides two different output voltages, VS and VEXT  
.
VS is the internal power supply voltage for everything except the driver circuit. Pin VS is used  
to connect a block capacitor. VS can be switched off via the STANDBY pin. In standby mode,  
the reader front end’s power consumption is very low. VEXT is the supply voltage of the  
antenna’s pre-driver. This voltage can also be used to operate external circuits. In conjunction  
with an external NPN transistor, it also establishes the supply voltage of the antenna coil  
driver, DVS.

16.2 Operation Modes for Powering the Reader/Writer Front End  
The following section explains the three different operation modes used to power the  
Reader/Writer front end.  
16.2.1  
5V Operation  
In this mode all internal circuits are operated from one 5V power rail (see Figure 16-2). In this  
case, VS, VEXT and DVS serve as inputs. VBatt is not used but should also be connected to the  
5V supply rail.

DVS VEXT  
VS VBatt Standby  
16.2.2  
Increased Power Operation  
In this mode the driver voltage, DVS, and the pre-driver supply, VEXT, are operated at a higher  
voltage than the rest of the circuitry to obtain a higher driver-output swing and thus a higher  
magnetic field (see Figure 16-3). The internal supply voltage VS is derived from VBatt input volt-  
age and needs capacitor circuitry, at VS pin for blocking. This operation mode is intended for  
use in applications requiring extended communication distance.

16.2.3  
Car Battery-voltage Operation  
In this operation mode VS and VEXT are generated by the internal power supply, no external  
voltage regulator is required. The IC can be switched off via the STANDBY pin. VEXT provides  
the reference voltage for the external NPN transistor. In case of external use of VEXT a nega-  
tive impact to the reader performance by the load has to be considered.  
Pin VEXT and VBatt are overvoltage protected via internal Zener diodes (see Figure 16-1 on  
page 191). The maximum current into the pins is determined by the IC’s maximum power dis-  
sipation and maximum junction temperature.

16.3 Oscillator (Osc)  
The frequency of the on-chip oscillator is controlled by a current fed into the RF input. An inte-  
grated compensation circuit ensures a wide temperature range and a  
supply-voltage-independent frequency which is selected by a fixed resistor between RF (pin  
15) and VS (pin 14). For 125kHz, a resistor value of 110kΩ is defined. For other frequencies,  
use the following formula:  
14375  
Rt[kΩ] = ----------------- 5  
f0[kHz]  
This input can be used to adjust the frequency close to the resonance of the antenna.

RF  
16.4 Low-pass Filter (LPF)  
The fully integrated low-pass filter (4th-order Butterworth) removes the remaining carrier sig-  
nal and high-frequency disturbances after demodulation. The upper cut-off frequency of the  
LPF depends on the selected oscillator frequency. The typical value is fOsc/18. This means  
data rates of up to fOsc/25 are possible if biphase or Manchester signal encoding is used.  
A high-pass characteristic results from the capacitive coupling at the input pin 4 as shown in  
Figure 16-6. The input voltage swing is limited to 2Vpp. For frequency response calculation, the  
impedances of the signal source and LPF input (typically 210kΩ) have to be considered.

16.5 Amplifier (AMP)  
The differential amplifier has a fixed gain, typically 30. The HIPASS pin is used for DC decou-  
pling. The lower cut-off frequency of the decoupling circuit can be calculated as follows:  
1
fcut = --------------------------------------------  
2 × π × CHP × Ri  
The value of the internal resistor Ri can be assumed to be 2.5kΩ.

16.6 Antenna Resonant Loop Control  
An improved read performance can be achieved by tracking the oscillator frequency to the res-  
onant condition of the antenna LC tank.  
Therefore the oscillator input is controlled by a loop circuitry according to Figure 16-8. It pro-  
vides a bi-directional compensation current (Icomp) into RF pin in order to track the driver  
frequency close to the resonant frequency of the antenna LC.

Application hint:  
The value of the coupling capacity CIN is oriented on data rate to be transmit as well on the  
recovery time needed after write command or power on. In automotive immobilizer applica-  
tions it is needed for crypto processing to switch over from write to read mode with short  
recovery time. Therefore, appropriate values are given by Table 16-2. In case of access con-  
trol applications, whereas the recovery time has not so high, a bigger CIN value is  
recommended to get an increased read performance.

16.7 Schmitt Trigger  
The signal is processed by a Schmitt trigger to suppress possible noise and to make the signal  
microcontroller-compatible. The hysteresis level is 100mV applied symmetrically to the DC  
operation point. The open-collector output is enabled by a low level at OE (pin 10).

Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
16.8 Driver (DRV)  
The driver supplies the antenna coil with the appropriate energy. The circuit consists of two  
independent output stages. These output stages can be operated in two different modes. In  
common mode, the outputs of the stages are in phase; in this mode the outputs can be inter-  
connected to achieve high-current output capability. The output voltages are in anti-phase  
when using the differential mode; the antenna coil is thus driven with a higher voltage. For a  
specific magnetic field, the antenna coil impedance is higher for the differential mode.  
Because higher coil impedance results in better system sensitivity, the differential mode  
should be given preference.  
The CFE input is intended for writing data to a read/write or a crypto transponder. This is done  
by interrupting the RF field with short gaps. The various functions are controlled by the MS and  
CFE inputs (see Table 16-3 on page 198). The equivalent circuit of the driver is shown in Fig-  
ure 16-1 on page 191.

17. ISRC - Current Source  
17.1 Features  
100µA Constant current source  
±10% Absolute Accuracy  
The Atmel® AVR® features a 100µA ±10% Current Source. Up on request, the current is flow-  
ing through an external resistor. The voltage can be measured on the dedicated pin shared  
with the ADC. Using a resistor in series with a 0.5% tolerance is recommended. To protect  
the device against big values, the ADC must be configured with AVCC as internal reference to  
perform the first measurement. Afterwards, another internal reference can be chosen accord-  
ing to the previous measured value to refine the result.  
When ISRCEN bit is set, the ISRC pin sources 100µA. Otherwise this pin keeps its initial  
function.

17.2 Typical Applications  
17.2.1  
LIN Current Source  
During the configuration of a LIN node in a cluster, it may be necessary to attribute dynami-  
cally an unique physical address to every cluster node. The way to do it is not described in the  
LIN protocol.  
The Current Source offers an excellent solution to associate a physical address to the applica-  
tion supported by the LIN node. A full dynamic node configuration can be used to set-up the  
LIN nodes in a cluster.  
The Atmel AVR proposes to have an external resistor used in conjunction with the Current  
Source. The device measures the voltage to the boundaries of the resistance via the Analog to  
Digital converter. The resulting voltage defines the physical address that the communication  
handler will use when the node will participate in LIN communication.  
199  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
In automotive applications, distributed voltages are very disturbed. The internal Current  
Source solution of Atmel® AVR® immunizes the address detection the against any kind of volt-  
age variations.

17.2.2  
Current Source for Low Cost Transducer  
An external transducer based on a variable resistor can be connected to the Current Source.  
This can be, for instance:  
• A thermistor, or temperature-sensitive resistor, used as a temperature sensor,  
• A CdS photoconductive cell, or luminosity-sensitive resistor, used as a luminosity sensor,  
• ...  
Using the Current Source with this type of transducer eliminates the need for additional parts  
otherwise required in resistor network or Wheatstone bridge.  
17.2.3  
17.2.4  
Voltage Reference for External Devices  
An external resistor used in conjunction with the Current Source can be used as voltage refer-  
ence for external devices. Using a resistor in series with a lower tolerance than the Current  
Source accuracy (2%) is recommended. Table 17-2 gives an example of voltage references  
using standard values of resistors.  
Threshold Reference for Internal Analog Comparator  
An external resistor used in conjunction with the Current Source can be used as threshold ref-  
erence for internal Analog Comparator (See ”AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page 222.).  
This can be connected to AIN0 (negative Analog Compare input pin) as well as AIN1 (positive  
Analog Compare input pin). Using a resistor in series with a lower tolerance than the Current  
Source accuracy (2%) is recommended. Table 17-2 gives an example of threshold refer-  
ences using standard values of resistors.

18.2 Overview  
The Atmel® AVR® features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to  
a 11-channel Analog Multiplexer which allows 16 differential voltage input combinations and  
11 single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the pins PA7..PA0 or PB7..PB4. The differen-  
tial input is equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing amplification steps of 8x or  
20x on the differential input voltage before the A/D conversion. The single-ended voltage  
inputs refer to 0V (AGND).  
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  
18-1.  
Internal reference voltages of nominally 1.1V or 2.56V are provided On-chip. Alternatively,  
AVCC can be used as reference voltage for single ended channels. There are also options to  
output the internal 1.1V or 2.56V reference voltages or to input an external voltage reference  
and turn-off the internal voltage reference. These options are selected using the REFS[1:0]  
bits of the ADMUX control register and using AREFEN and XREFEN bits of the AMISCR con-  
trol register.

18.3 Operation  
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approx-  
imation. The minimum value represents AGND and the maximum value represents the voltage  
on AVCC, the voltage refrence on AREF pin or an internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference.  
The voltage reference for the ADC may be selected by writing to the REFS[1..0] bits in  
ADMUX and AREFEN bit in AMISCR. The AVCC supply, the AREF pin or an internal 1.1V /  
2.56V voltage reference may be selected as the ADC voltage reference.  
The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX[4..0] bits in  
ADMUX register. Any of the 11 ADC input pins ADC[10..0] can be selected as single ended  
inputs to the ADC. The positive and negative inputs to the differential gain amplifier are  
described in Table 18-5.  
If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the voltage difference  
between the selected input pair by the selected gain factor 8x or 20x, according to the setting  
of the MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register. This amplified value then becomes the analog input  
to the ADC. If single ended channels are used, the gain amplifier is bypassed altogether.  
The on-chip temperature sensor is selected by writing the code defined in Table 18-5 to the  
MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register when its dedicated ADC channel is used as an ADC input.  
A specific ADC channel (defined in Table 18-5) is used to measure the voltage to the boundar-  
ies of an external resistance flowing by a current driving by the Internal Current Source  
(ISRC).  
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA register. Voltage refer-  
ence 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 register.  
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. When  
ADC access to the data registers is prohibited between reading of ADCH and ADCL, the inter-  
rupt will trigger even if the result is lost.

18.4 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 register. The trig-  
ger source is selected by setting the ADC Trigger Select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB register (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 pro-  
vides a method of starting conversions at fixed intervals. If the trigger signal still is 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 register 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.

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 register. 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  
register 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 10bits is needed, the  
input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than 200kHz to get a higher sample rate.  
The ADC module contains a prescaler, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency  
from any CPU frequency above 100 kHz. The prescaling is set by the ADPS bits in ADCSRA  
register. The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched on by setting the  
ADEN bit in ADCSRA register. 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 register, the  
conversion starts at the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle.  
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is  
switched on (ADEN in ADCSRA register 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 con-  
version and 14.5 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 Conver-  
sion 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 sam-  
ple-and-hold takes place 2 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 18-1.

18.6 Changing Channel or Reference Selection  
The MUX[4:0] and REFS[1:0] bits in the ADMUX register are single buffered through a tempo-  
rary 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 register 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.  
208

18.6.1  
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 chan-  
nel 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.  
18.6.2  
ADC Voltage Reference  
The voltage reference 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 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference or external AREF pin. The first ADC con-  
version result after switching voltage reference source may be inaccurate, and the user is  
advised to discard this result.  
18.7 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 proce-  
dure should be used:  
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 conver-  
sion once the CPU has been halted.  
c. If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC inter-  
rupt 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 com-  
plete, 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.  
18.7.1  
Analog Input Circuitry  
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated in Figure 18-8. 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).  
209  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ 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 trans-  
fer to the S/H capacitor.  
Signal components higher than the Nyquist frequency (fADC/2) should not be present 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.

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. Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.  
c. If any port pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not switch  
while a conversion is in progress.  
18.7.3  
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.  
Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior:  
• Offset: The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal transition  
(at 0.5LSB). Ideal value: 0LSB.

18.8 ADC Conversion Result  
After the conversion is complete (ADIF is high), the conversion result can be found in the ADC  
Result Registers (ADCL, ADCH). The form of the conversion result depends on the type of the  
conversion as there are three types of conversions: single ended conversion, unipolar differ-  
ential conversion and bipolar differential conversion.  
18.8.1  
Single Ended Conversion  
For single ended conversion, the result is:  
V
1024  
IN  
ADC = -----------------------------  
V
REF  
where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see  
Table 18-4 on page 216 and Table 18-5 on page 217). 0x000 represents analog ground, and  
0x3FF represents the selected voltage reference minus one LSB. The result is presented in  
one-sided form, from 0x3FF to 0x000.  
18.8.2  
Unipolar Differential Conversion  
If differential channels and an unipolar input mode are used, the result is:  
(V  
V  
)
NEG  
1024  
POS  
----------------------------------------------------------  
ADC =  
GAIN  
V
REF  
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin,  
and VREF the selected voltage reference (see Table 18-4 on page 216 and Table 18-5 on page  
217). The voltage on the positive pin must always be larger than the voltage on the negative  
pin or otherwise the voltage difference is saturated to zero. The result is presented in  
one-sided form, from 0x000 (0d) to 0x3FF (+1023d). The GAIN is either 8x or 20x.  
18.8.3  
Bipolar Differential Conversion  
As default the ADC converter operates in the unipolar input mode, but the bipolar input mode  
can be selected by writing the BIN bit in the ADCSRB register to one. In the bipolar input mode  
two-sided voltage differences are allowed and thus the voltage on the negative input pin can  
also be larger than the voltage on the positive input pin. If differential channels and a bipolar  
input mode are used, the result is:  
(V  
V  
)
NEG  
512  
POS  
-------------------------------------------------------  
ADC =  
GAIN  
V
REF  
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin,  
and VREF the selected voltage reference. The result is presented in two’s complement form,  
from 0x200 (-512d) through 0x000 (+0d) to 0x1FF (+511d). The GAIN is either 8x or 20x.  
213  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
However, if the signal is not bipolar by nature (9bits + sign as the 10th bit), this scheme loses  
one bit of the converter dynamic range. Then, if the user wants to perform the conversion with  
the maximum dynamic range, the user can perform a quick polarity check of the result and use  
the unipolar differential conversion with selectable differential input pair. When the polarity  
check is performed, it is sufficient to read the MSB of the result (ADC9 in ADCH register). If the  
bit is one, the result is negative, and if this bit is zero, the result is positive.  
18.9 Temperature Measurement  
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor that is coupled to a  
single ended ADC input. MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register enables the temperature sensor.  
The internal 1.1V voltage reference must also be selected for the ADC voltage reference  
source in the temperature sensor measurement. When the temperature sensor is enabled, the  
ADC converter can be used in single conversion mode to measure the voltage over the tem-  
perature sensor.  
The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature as described in Table 18-2.  
The voltage sensitivity is approximately 1LSB/°C and the accuracy of the temperature mea-  
surement is ±10°C using manufacturing calibration values (TS_GAIN, TS_OFFSET). The  
values described in Table 18-2 are typical values. However, due to the process variation the  
temperature sensor output varies from one chip to another.

Manufacturing Calibration  
Calibration values determined during test are available in the signature row.  
The temperature in degrees Celsius can be calculated using the formula:

Where:  
a. ADCH & ADCL are the ADC data registers,  
b. is the temperature sensor gain  
c. TSOFFSET is the temperature sensor offset correction term  
TS_GAIN is the unsigned fixed point 8-bit temperature sensor gain factor in  
1/128th units stored in the signature row  
TS_OFFSET is the signed twos complement temperature sensor offset reading  
stored in the signature row. See Table 21-1 on page 232 for signature row  
parameter address.

18.10 Internal Voltage Reference Output  
The internal voltage reference is output on XREF pin as described in Table 18-3 if the ADC is  
turned on (See “Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time” on page 57.). Addition  
of an external filter capacitor (5 - 10nF) on XREF pin may be necessary. XREF current load  
must be from 1 µA to 100 µA with VCC from 2.7V to 5.5V for XREF = 1.1V and with VCC from  
4.5V to 5.5V for XREF = 2.56V.  
XREF pin can be coupled to an analog input of the ADC (See Section 1.3 “Pin Configuration”  
on page 6).

• Bit 7:6 – REFS1:REFS0: Voltage Reference Selection Bits  
These bits and AREFEN bit from the Analog Miscellaneous Control Register (AMISCR) select  
the voltage reference for the ADC, as shown in Table 18-4. If these bits are changed during a  
conversion, the change will not go in effect until this conversion is complete (ADIF in ADCSRA  
register is set). Whenever these bits are changed, the next conversion will take 25 ADC clock  
cycles. If active channels are used, using AVCC or an external AREF higher than (AVCC - 1V)  
is not recommended, as this will affect ADC accuracy. The internal voltage reference options  
may not be used if an external voltage is being applied to the AREF pin.

• Bit 5 – ADLAR: ADC Left Adjust Result  
The ADLAR bit affects the presentation of the ADC conversion result in the ADC Data Regis-  
ter. Write one to ADLAR to left adjust the result. Otherwise, the result is right adjusted.  
Changing the ADLAR bit will affect the ADC Data Register immediately, regardless of any  
ongoing conversions. For a complete description of this bit, see “ADCL and ADCH – The ADC  
Data Register” on page 219.  
• Bits 4:0 – MUX4:0: Analog Channel and Gain Selection Bits  
These bits select which combination of analog inputs are connected to the ADC. In case of dif-  
ferential input, gain selection is also made with these bits. Refer to Table 18-5 for details. If  
these bits are changed during a conversion, the change will not go into effect until this  
conversion is complete (ADIF in ADCSRA register is set).

• Bit 7 – ADEN: ADC Enable  
Writing this bit to one enables the ADC. By writing it to zero, the ADC is turned off. Turning the  
ADC off while a conversion is in progress, will terminate this conversion.  
• Bit 6 – ADSC: ADC Start Conversion  
In Single Conversion mode, write this bit to one to start each conversion. In Free Running  
mode, write this bit to one to start the first conversion. The first conversion after ADSC has  
been written after the ADC has been enabled, or if ADSC is written at the same time as the  
ADC is enabled, 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 com-  
plete, 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-Modify-Write 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.  
• Bits 2:0 – ADPS2:0: ADC Prescaler Select Bits  
These bits determine the division factor between the system clock frequency and the input  
clock to the ADC.

When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers.  
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 is required, it is sufficient to read  
ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then 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

• Bit 7– BIN: Bipolar Input Mode  
The gain stage is working in the unipolar mode as default, but the bipolar mode can be  
selected by writing the BIN bit in the ADCSRB register. In the unipolar mode only one-sided  
conversions are supported and the voltage on the positive input must always be larger than  
the voltage on the negative input. Otherwise the result is saturated to the voltage reference. In  
the bipolar mode two-sided conversions are supported and the result is represented in the  
two’s complement form. In the unipolar mode the resolution is 10 bits and the bipolar mode the  
resolution is 9bits + 1 sign bit.  
• Bit 3 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices it must be written to  
zero when ADCSRB register is written.  
• Bits 2:0 – ADTS2:0: ADC Auto Trigger Source  
If ADATE in ADCSRA register 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 register is set, this will start a conver-  
sion. Switching to Free Running mode (ADTS[2:0]=0) will not cause a trigger event, even if the  
ADC Interrupt Flag is set.

• Bits 7:0 – ADC7D:ADC0D: ADC7:0 Digital Input Disable  
When this bit is written logic one, the digital input buffer on the corresponding ADC pin is dis-  
abled. The corresponding PIN register bit will always read as zero when this bit is set. When  
an analog signal is applied to the ADC7:0 pin and the digital input from this pin is not needed,  
this bit should be written logic one to reduce power consumption in the digital input buffer.

• Bit 2 – AREFEN: External Voltage Reference Input Enable  
When this bit is written logic one, the voltage reference for the ADC is input from AREF pin as  
described in Table 18.10 on page 215. If active channels are used, using AVCC or an external  
AREF higher than (AVCC - 1V) is not recommended, as this will affect ADC accuracy. The  
internal voltage reference options may not be used if an external voltage is being applied to  
the AREF pin. It is recommended to use DIDR register bit function (digital input disable) when  
AREFEN is set.  
• Bit 1 – XREFEN: Internal Voltage Reference Output Enable  
When this bit is written logic one, the internal voltage reference 1.1V or 2.56V is output on  
XREF pin as described in Table 18.10 on page 215. It is recommended to use DIDR register  
bit function (digital input disable) when XREFEN is set.

19. AnaComp - Analog Comparator  
The Analog Comparator compares the input values on the positive pin (AIN1) and negative pin  
(AIN0). When the voltage on the positive pin is higher than the voltage on the negative pin, the  
Analog Comparator output, ACO, is set. 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 19-1.

• Bit 6 – ACME: Analog Comparator Multiplexer Enable  
When this bit is written logic one and the ADC is switched off (ADEN in ADCSRA is zero), the  
ADC multiplexer selects the positive input to the Analog Comparator. When this bit is written  
logic zero, AIN1 is applied to the positive input of the Analog Comparator.  
When the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is configured as single ended input channel, it is  
possible to select any of the ADC[10..0] pins to replace the positive input to the Analog Com-  
parator. The ADC multiplexer (MUX[4..0]) is used to select this input, and consequently, the  
ADC must be switched off to utilize this feature.

• 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 of ACSR register. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when  
the bit is changed.  
• Bit 6 – ACIRS: Analog Comparator Internal Reference Select  
When this bit is set an Internal Reference Voltage replaces the negative input to the Analog  
Comparator (c.f. Table 19-3 on page 225).  
If ACIRS is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the negative input to the Analog Comparator.  
• 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 trig-  
gered 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 con-  
nection 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 Inter-  
rupt 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 19-1.

• Bits 7,6 – AIN1D, AIN0D: AIN1D and AIN0D Digital Input Disable  
When this bit is written logic one, the digital input buffer on the corresponding Analog Com-  
pare pin is disabled. The corresponding PIN register bit will always read as zero when this bit  
is set. When an analog signal is applied to the AIN0/1 pin and the digital input from this pin is  
not needed, this bit should be written logic one to reduce power consumption in the digital  
input buffer.  
19.2 Analog Comparator Inputs  
19.2.1  
Analog Compare Positive Input  
It is possible to select any of the inputs of the ADC Positive Input Multiplexer to replace the  
positive 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 register) is set and the ADC is switched off (ADEN  
in ADCSRA register is zero), MUX[4..0] in ADMUX register select the input pin to replace the  
positive input to the Analog Comparator, as shown in Table 19-2. If ACME is cleared or ADEN  
is set, AIN1 pin is applied to the positive input to the Analog Comparator.

It is possible to select an internal voltage reference to replace the negative input to the Analog  
Comparator. The output of a 2-bit DAC using the Internal Voltage Reference of the DAC is  
available when ACIRS bit of ACSR register is set. The voltage reference division factor is  
done by ACIR[1..0] of ADCSRB register.  
If ACIRS is cleared, AIN0 pin is applied to the negative input to the Analog Comparator.

Programming of Non-volatile Memories  
20.2 Overview  
The debugWIRE On-chip debug system uses a One-wire, bi-directional interface to control the  
program flow, execute AVR® instructions in the CPU and to program the different non-volatile  
memories.  
20.3 Physical Interface  
When the debugWIRE Enable (DWEN) Fuse is programmed and Lock bits are unpro-  
grammed, the debugWIRE system within the target device is activated. The RESET port pin is  
configured as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-directional I/O pin with pull-up enabled and becomes  
the communication gateway between target and emulator.

Figure 20-1 shows the schematic of a target MCU, with debugWIRE enabled, and the emula-  
tor connector. The system clock is not affected by debugWIRE and will always be the clock  
source selected by the CKSEL Fuses.  
When designing a system where debugWIRE will be used, the following observations must be  
made for correct operation:  
226

9219A–RFID–01/11  
Atmel ATA5505 [Preliminary]  
• Pull-up resistors on the dW/(RESET) line must not be smaller than 10kΩ. The pull-up  
resistor is not required for debugWIRE functionality.  
• Connecting the RESET pin directly to VCC will not work.  
• Capacitors connected to the RESET pin must be disconnected when using debugWire.  
• All external reset sources must be disconnected.  
20.4 Software Break Points  
DebugWIRE supports Program memory break points by the Atmel® AVR® BREAK instruction.  
Setting a break point in Atmel AVR Studio® will insert a BREAK instruction in the Program  
memory. The instruction replaced by the BREAK instruction will be stored. When program  
execution is continued, the stored instruction will be executed before continuing from the Pro-  
gram memory. A break can be inserted manually by putting the BREAK instruction in the  
program.  
The Flash must be re-programmed each time a break point is changed. This is automatically  
handled by Atmel AVR Studio through the debugWIRE interface. The use of break points will  
therefore reduce the Flash Data retention. Devices used for debugging purposes should not  
be shipped to end customers.  
20.5 Limitations of DebugWIRE  
The debugWIRE communication pin (dW) is physically located on the same pin as External  
Reset (RESET). An External Reset source is therefore not supported when the debugWIRE is  
enabled.  
The debugWIRE system accurately emulates all I/O functions when running at full speed, i.e.,  
when the program in the CPU is running. When the CPU is stopped, care must be taken while  
accessing some of the I/O Registers via the debugger (Atmel AVR Studio).  
A programmed DWEN Fuse enables some parts of the clock system to be running in all sleep  
modes. This will increase the power consumption while in sleep. Thus, the DWEN Fuse  
should be disabled when debugWire is not used.

The DWDR Register provides a communication channel from the running program in the MCU  
to the debugger. This register is only accessible by the debugWIRE and can therefore not be  
used as a general purpose register in the normal operations.

21. Flash Programming  
The device provides a Self-Programming mechanism for downloading and uploading program  
code by the MCU itself. The Self-Programming can use any available data interface (i.e. LIN,  
USART, ...) and associated protocol to read code and write (program) that code into the Pro-  
gram memory.  
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 exam-  
ple in the temporary page buffer) before the erase, and then be re-written. 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 page.  
21.1 Self-Programming the Flash  
21.1.1  
Performing Page Erase by SPM  
To execute Page Erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000011 b” 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.  
• The CPU is halted during the Page Erase operation.  
21.1.2  
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 b” 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 CTPB 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.

21.1.3  
Performing a Page Write  
To execute Page Write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000101 b” 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.  
• The CPU is halted during the Page Write operation.  
21.2 Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming  
The Z-pointer is used to address the SPM commands. The Z pointer consists of the Z-regis-  
ters ZL and ZH in the register file. The number of bits actually used is implementation  
dependent.

Bit  
Since the Flash is organized in pages (see Table 22-7 on page 239), 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 21-1.  
Note that the Page Erase and Page Write operations are addressed independently. Therefore  
it is of major importance that the software addresses the same page in both the Page Erase  
and Page Write operation.  
The LPM instruction uses the Z-pointer to store the address. Since this instruction addresses  
the Flash byte-by-byte, also the LSB (bit Z0) of the Z-pointer is used.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is a reserved bit in the Atmel® AVR® and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 6 – RWWSB: Read-While-Write Section Busy  
This bit is for compatibility with devices supporting Read-While-Write. It will always read as  
zero in Atmel AVR.  
• 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 232. for details. An SPM instruction within four  
cycles after SIGRD and SPMEN are set will have no effect.  
• Bit 4 – CTPB: Clear Temporary Page Buffer  
If the CTPB bit is written while filling the temporary page buffer, the temporary page buffer will  
be cleared and the data will be lost.  
• Bit 3 – RFLB: Read Fuse and Lock Bits  
An LPM instruction within three cycles after RFLB and SPMEN are set in the SPMCSR Regis-  
ter, 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 231. for  
details.  
• 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 exe-  
cuted within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire Page Write operation.  
• 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  
Zpointer. 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.

• Bit 0 – SPMEN: Self Programming Enable  
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one together  
with either SIGRD, CTPB, RFLB, PGWRT, or PGERS, the following SPM instruction will have  
a special meaning, see description above. If only SPMEN is written, the following SPM instruc-  
tion 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 “10 0001 b”, “01 0001 b”, “00 1001 b”, “00 0101 b”,  
“00 0011 b” or “00 0001 b” in the lower six bits will have no effect.  
Note:  
Only one SPM instruction should be active at any time.  
21.2.2  
21.2.3  
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 opera-  
tion. 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.  
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 RFLB and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruc-  
tion is executed within three CPU cycles after the RFLB and SPMEN bits are set in SPMCSR,  
the value of the Lock bits will be loaded in the destination register. The RFLB and SPMEN bits  
will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Lock bits or if no LPM instruction is executed  
within three CPU cycles or no SPM instruction is executed within four CPU cycles. When  
RFLB and SPMEN are cleared, 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 RFLB  
and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is executed within three cycles after  
the RFLB 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. See Table 22-5 on page 238 for a

Similarly, when reading the Fuse High byte (FHB), load 0x0003 in the Z-pointer. When an  
LPM instruction is executed within three cycles after the RFLB and SPMEN bits are set in the  
SPMCSR, the value of the Fuse High byte will be loaded in the destination register as shown  
below. See Table 22-4 on page 237 for detailed description and mapping of the Fuse High  
byte.

Similarly, when reading the Extended Fuse byte (EFB), load 0x0002 in the Z-pointer. When an

SPMCSR, the value of the Extended Fuse byte will be loaded in the destination register as  
shown below. See Table 22-3 on page 237 for detailed description and mapping of the

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 21-1 on page 232 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.

21.2.5  
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, 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. Keep the Atmel® AVR® RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power sup-  
ply 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.  
2. Keep the Atmel 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.

Programming Time for Flash when Using SPM  
The calibrated RC Oscillator is used to time Flash accesses. Table 21-2 shows the typical pro-  
gramming time for Flash accesses from the CPU.

22. Memory Programming  
22.1 Program and Data Memory Lock Bits  
The Atmel® AVR® provides two Lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or can be pro-  
grammed (“0”) to obtain the additional features listed in Table 22-2. The Lock bits can only be  
erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command. The Atmel AVR has no separate Boot Loader

22.2.1  
Latching of Fuses  
The fuse values are latched when the device enters programming mode and changes of the  
fuse values will have no effect until the part leaves Programming mode. This does not apply to  
the EESAVE Fuse which will take effect once it is programmed. The fuses are also latched on  
Power-up in Normal mode.  
22.3 Signature Bytes  
All Atmel® microcontrollers have a three-byte signature code which identifies the device. This  
code can be read in both serial and parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The three  
bytes reside in a separate address space.

22.6 Parallel Programming Parameters, Pin Mapping, and Commands  
This section describes how to parallel program and verify Flash Program memory, EEPROM  
Data memory, Memory Lock bits, and Fuse bits in the Atmel AVR. Pulses are assumed to be  
at least 250 ns unless otherwise noted.  
22.6.1  
Signal Names  
In this section, some pins of the Atmel AVR are referenced by signal names describing their  
functionality during parallel programming, see Figure 22-1 and Figure 22-9. Pins not described  
in the following table are referenced by pin names.  
The XA1/XA0 pins determine the action executed when the XTAL1 pin is given a positive  
pulse. The bit coding is shown in Figure 22-11.  
When pulsing WR or OE, the command loaded determines the action executed. The different  
commands are shown in Figure 22-12.

22.7 Parallel Programming  
22.7.1  
Enter Programming Mode  
The following algorithm puts the device in parallel programming mode:  
1. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between VCC and GND.  
2. Set RESET to “0” and toggle XTAL1 at least six times.  
3. Set the Prog_enable pins listed in Table 22-10 on page 241 to “0000 b” and wait at  
least 100ns.  
4. Apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET. Any activity on Prog_enable pins within 100 ns after  
+12V has been applied to RESET, will cause the device to fail entering programming  
mode.  
5. Wait at least 50µs before sending a new command.  
22.7.2  
Considerations for Efficient Programming  
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For effi-  
cient 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.  
22.7.3  
Chip Erase  
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM(Note:) 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.  
Note:  
The EEPRPOM memory is preserved during Chip Erase if the EESAVE Fuse is programmed.  
Load Command “Chip Erase”  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “1,0 ”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”.  
3. Set DATA to “1000 0000 b”. This is the command for Chip Erase.  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.  
5. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts the Chip Erase. RDY/BSY goes low.  
6. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high before loading a new command.

22.7.4  
Programming the Flash  
The Flash is organized in pages, see Table 22-7 on page 239. 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:  
A. Load Command “Write Flash”  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “1,0”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”.  
3. Set DATA to “0001 0000 b”. This is the command for Write Flash.  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.  
B. Load Address Low byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”. This selects low address.  
3. Set DATA = Address low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.  
C. Load Data Low Byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “0,1”. This enables data loading.  
2. Set DATA = Data low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
D. Load Data High Byte  
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.  
2. Set XA1, XA0 to “0,1”. This enables data loading.  
3. Set DATA = Data high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
E. Latch Data  
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.  
2. Give PAGEL a positive pulse. This latches the data bytes. (See Figure 22-3 for signal  
waveforms)  
F. Repeat B through E until the entire buffer is filled or until all data within the page is loaded.  
While the lower bits in the address are mapped to words within the page, the higher bits  
address the pages within the FLASH. This is illustrated in Figure 22-2 on page 244. Note that  
if less than eight bits are required to address words in the page (pagesize < 256), the most sig-  
nificant bit(s) in the address low byte are used to address the page when performing a Page  
Write.  
243  
9219A–RFID–01/11  
G. Load Address High byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “0,0”. This enables address loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high address.  
3. Set DATA = Address high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address high byte.  
H. Program Page  
1. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the entire page of data.  
RDY/BSY goes low.  
2. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high (See Figure 22-3 for signal waveforms).  
I. Repeat B through H until the entire Flash is programmed or until all data has been  
programmed.  
J. End Page Programming  
1. 1. Set XA1, XA0 to “1,0”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set DATA to “0000 0000 b”. This is the command for No Operation.  
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command, and the internal write signals  
are reset.

22.8 Serial Downloading  
Both the Flash and EEPROM memory arrays can be programmed using the serial SPI bus  
while RESET is pulled to GND. The serial interface consists of pins SCK, MOSI (input) and  
MISO (output). After RESET is set low, the Programming Enable instruction needs to be exe-  
cuted first before program/erase operations can be executed.  
Note:  
In Table 22-13, the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins  
dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

When programming the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed program-  
ming operation (in the Serial mode ONLY) and there is no need to first execute the Chip Erase  
instruction. The Chip Erase operation turns the content of every memory location in both the  
Program and EEPROM arrays into 0xFF.

Depending on CKSEL Fuses, a valid clock must be present. The minimum low and high peri-  
ods for the serial clock (SCK) input are defined as follows:  
Low: > 2 CPU clock cycles for f < 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f >= 12MHz

High:> 2 CPU clock cycles for f < 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f >= 12MHz

22.8.1  
Serial Programming Algorithm  
When writing serial data to the Atmel® AVR®, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.  
When reading data from the Atmel AVR, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Fig-  
ure 22-7 and Figure 22-8 for timing details.  
To program and verify the Atmel AVR in the Serial Programming mode, the following  
sequence is recommended (see four byte instruction formats in Table 22-15 on page 251):  
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 syn-  
chronization. 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 Pro-  
gram 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 Pro-  
gram 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 t WD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 22-14) Accessing the serial  
programming interface before the Flash write operation completes can result in incor-  
rect 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 loca-  
tion is first automatically erased before new data is written. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not  
used, the user must wait at least t WD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (See Table  
22-14) 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 6 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 t WD_EEPROM  
before issuing the next page (See Table 22-8). 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.

2. a = address  
3. Bits are programmed ‘0’, unprogrammed ‘1’.  
4. To ensure future compatibility, unused Fuses and Lock bits should be unprogrammed (‘1’).  
5. Refer to the corresponding section for Fuse and Lock bits, Calibration and Signature bytes  
and Page size.  
6. Instructions accessing program memory use a word address. This address may be random  
within the page range.  
7. See http://www.atmel.com/avr for Application Notes regarding programming and  
programmers.  
If the LSB in RDY/BSY data byte out is ‘1’, a programming operation is still pending. Wait until  
this bit returns ‘0’ before the next instruction is carried out.  
Within the same page, the low data byte must be loaded prior to the high data byte.  
After data is loaded to the page buffer, program the EEPROM page, see Figure 22-8 on page  
253.

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 cor-  
rect operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is performed using

24. Decoupling Capacitors  
The operating frequency (i.e. system clock) of the processor determines in 95% of cases the  
value needed for microcontroller decoupling capacitors.  
The hypotheses used as first evaluation for decoupling capacitors are:  
• The operating frequency (fop) supplies itself the maximum peak levels of noise. The main  
peaks are located at fop and 2 fop.  
• An SMC capacitor connected to 2 micro-vias on a PCB has the following characteristics:  
– 1.5 nH from the connection of the capacitor to the PCB,  
– 1.5 nH from the capacitor intrinsic inductance.  
Figure 24-1. Capacitor description  
1.5 nH  
0.75 nH  
0.75 nH  
Capacitor  
PCB  
According to the operating frequency of the product, the decoupling capacitances are chosen  
considering the frequencies to filter, fop and 2 fop.  
The relation between frequencies to cut and decoupling characteristics are defined by:  
1
1
and  
fop = ----------------------  
2 fop = ----------------------  
2Π LC1  
2Π LC2  
where:  
– L: the inductance equivalent to the global inductance on the VCC/Gnd lines.  
– C1 & C2: decoupling capacitors (C1 = 4 C2).  
Then, in normalized value range, the decoupling capacitors become:

These decoupling capacitors must to be implemented as close as possible to each pair of  
power supply pins:  
– 16-17 for logic sub-system,  
– 5-6 for analogical sub-system.  
Nevertheless, a bulk capacitor of 10-47µF is also needed on the power distribution network of  
the PCB, near the power source.  
For further information, please refer to Application Notes Atmel® AVR040 “EMC Design Con-  
siderations“ and Atmel AVR042 “Hardware Design Considerations“ on the Atmel web site.

25. Typical Atmel AVR Characteristics  
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of sim-  
ilar devices in the same process and design methods. It also does include the base station  
block. 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.  
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 tempera-  
ture. 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 cur-  
rent drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

Notes: 1. Address bits exceeding EEAMSB (Table 22-8 on page 239) are don’t care.  
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. 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.  
4. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other Atmel® AVR®s, 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.  
5. 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 AVR is a com-  
plex 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

Notes: 1. Address bits exceeding EEAMSB (Table 22-8 on page 239) are don’t care.  
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. 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.  
4. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other Atmel® AVR®s, 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.  
5. 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 AVR is a com-  
plex 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
