1.2.3 Port A (PA3:0)  
Port A is a 4-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit) in 32-lead TQFP and 32-pad QFN  
package. The PA3..0 output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As  
inputs, port A pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The port A pins are  
tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.  
1.2.4 Port B (PB7:0)  
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The port B output buffers have  
symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled  
low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes  
active, even if the clock is not running.  
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the internal clock operating circuit.  
The various special features of port B are elaborated in Section 10.3.2 “Alternate Functions of Port B” on page 59 and  
Section 6. “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 25.  
1.2.5 Port C (PC7, PC5:0)  
Port C is a 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The PC7 and PC5..0 output  
buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are  
externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The port C pins are tri-stated when a reset  
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.  
1.2.6 PC6/RESET  
If the RSTDISBL fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an input pin.  
If the RSTDISBL fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum  
pulse width will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in  
Table 21-4 on page 186. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.  
The various special features of port C are elaborated in Section 10.3.3 “Alternate Functions of Port C” on page 61.

1.2.7 Port D (PD7:0)  
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The PD7..4 output buffers have  
symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capabilities, while the PD3..0 output buffers have stronger  
sink capabilities. As inputs, port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated.  
The port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.  
The various special features of port D are elaborated in Section 10.3.4 “Alternate Functions of Port D” on page 63.  
1.2.8 AVCC  
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D converter and a selection of I/O pins. This pin should be externally connected to  
VCC even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it is recommended this pin is connected to VCC through a low-pass filter,  
as described in Section 17.9 “Analog Noise Canceling Techniques” on page 152.  
The following pins receive their supply voltage from AVCC: PC7, PC5:0 and (in 32-lead packages) PA1:0. All other I/O pins  
take their supply voltage from VCC

9157E–AVR–07/14  
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly  
connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction  
executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times  
faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.  
The Atmel®ATtiny88 provides the following features: 8Kbytes of in-system programmable flash, 64 bytes EEPROM, 512  
bytes SRAM, 28 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, two flexible Timer/Counters with compare  
modes, internal and external interrupts, a byte-oriented 2-wire serial interface, an SPI serial port, a 6-channel 10-bit ADC  
(8 channels in 32-lead TQFP and 32-pad QFN packages), a programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, and three  
software selectable power saving modes. Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing Timer/Counters, 2-wire serial interface,  
SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the  
oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. ADC noise reduction mode stops the  
CPU and all I/O modules except ADC, and helps to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions.  
The device is manufactured using Atmel high density non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip ISP flash allows the  
program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory  
programmer, or by an on-chip boot program running on the AVR® core. The boot program can use any interface to download  
the application program in the flash memory. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with in-system self-programmable flash on a  
monolithic chip, the Atmel ATtiny88 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to  
many embedded control applications.  
The Atmel ATtiny88 AVR is supported by a full suite of program and system development tools including: C compilers,  
macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators and evaluation kits.  
2.2

About Code Examples  
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the device. These code  
examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors  
include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C  
compiler documentation for more details.  
For I/O registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must be replaced  
with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and  
“CBR”.

AVR CPU Core  
4.1  
Introduction  
This section discusses the AVR® core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core is to ensure correct  
program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and  
handle interrupts.

In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a harvard architecture – with separate memories and  
buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipelining. While one  
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions  
to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is in-system reprogrammable flash memory.

9157E–AVR–07/14  
The fast-access register file contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This  
allows single-cycle arithmetic logic unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands are output from the  
register file, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the register file – in one clock cycle.  
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for data space addressing – enabling  
efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in  
flash program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.  
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register  
operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the status register is updated to reflect  
information about the result of the operation.  
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to directly address the whole  
address space. Most AVR® instructions have a single 16-bit word format, but there are also 32-bit instructions.  
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address program counter (PC) is stored on the stack. The stack is  
effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and  
the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are  
executed). The stack pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through  
the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.  
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.  
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional global interrupt enable bit in the status  
register. All interrupts have a separate interrupt vector in the interrupt vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance  
with their interrupt vector position. The lower the interrupt vector address, the higher the priority.  
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as control registers, SPI, and other I/O functions.  
The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as the data space locations following those of the register file, 0x20 – 0x5F. In  
addition, the Atmel® ATtiny88 has extended I/O space from 0x60 – 0xFF in SRAM where only the ST/STS/STD and  
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.  
4.3  
ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit  
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers. Within a  
single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are  
executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some  
implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and  
fractional format. See Section 24. “Instruction Set Summary” on page 209 for a detailed description.

ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
4.4  
Status Register  
The status register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic instruction. This  
information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that the status register is  
updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the instruction set reference. This will in many cases remove the need for  
using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.  
The status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning from an  
interrupt. This must be handled by software.

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable  
The global interrupt enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control is then  
performed in separate control registers. If the global interrupt enable register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled  
independent of the individual interrupt enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is  
set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I-bit can also be set and cleared by the application with the  
SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.  
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage  
The bit copy instructions BLD (bit LoaD) and BST (bit STore) use the T-bit as source or destination for the operated bit. A bit  
from a register in the register file can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a  
register in the register file by the BLD instruction.  
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag  
The half carry flag H indicates a half carry in some arithmetic operations. Half carry Is useful in BCD arithmetic. See the  
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.  
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N V  
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the two’s complement overflow flag V. See the  
“Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.  
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag  
The two’s complement overflow flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the “Instruction Set Description” for  
detailed information.  
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag  
The negative flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Description” for  
detailed information.  
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag  
The zero flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed  
information.  
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag  
The carry flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed  
information.

flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the register file:  
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input  
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input

Most of the instructions operating on the register file have direct access to all registers, and most of them are single cycle  
instructions.  
As shown in Figure 4-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them directly into the first 32  
locations of the user data space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization  
provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the  
file.

4.5.1 The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register  
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit address  
pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment, and  
automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).  
4.6  
Stack Pointer  
The stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing return addresses after  
interrupts and subroutine calls. The stack pointer register always points to the top of the stack. Note that the stack is  
implemented as growing from higher memory locations to lower memory locations. This implies that a stack PUSH command  
decreases the stack pointer.  
The stack pointer points to the data SRAM stack area where the subroutine and interrupt stacks are located. This stack  
space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled.  
The stack pointer should be set to point to RAMEND. The stack pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the  
stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto the stack with  
subroutine call or interrupt. The stack pointer is incremented by one when data is popped from the stack with the POP  
instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the stack with return from subroutine RET or return from  
interrupt RETI.  
The AVR® stack pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of bits actually used is  
implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations of the AVR architecture is so small that only  
SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH register will not be present.

Instruction Execution Timing  
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR® CPU is driven by the CPU  
clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.  
Figure 4-4 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the harvard architecture and the fast-  
access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1MIPS per MHz with the corresponding  
unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Reset and Interrupt Handling  
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate reset vector each have a separate  
program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic  
one together with the global interrupt enable bit in the status register in order to enable the interrupt. Depending on the  
program counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled when lock bits LB2 or LB1 are programmed. This feature  
improves software security. See Section 20. “Memory Programming” on page 168 for details.  
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the reset and interrupt vectors. The complete  
list of vectors is shown in Section 9. “Interrupts” on page 44. The list also determines the priority levels of the different  
interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the  
external interrupt request 0. Refer to Section 9. “Interrupts” on page 44 for more information.  
When an interrupt occurs, the global interrupt enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled. The user software can  
write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine.  
The I-bit is automatically set when a return from interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.

ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the interrupt flag. For these  
interrupts, the program counter is vectored to the actual interrupt vector in order to execute the interrupt handling routine,  
and hardware clears the corresponding interrupt flag. Interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit  
position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared, the interrupt  
flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more  
interrupt conditions occur while the global interrupt enable bit is cleared, the corresponding interrupt flag(s) will be set and  
remembered until the global interrupt enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.  
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily  
have interrupt flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.  
When the AVR® exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction before  
any pending interrupt is served.  
Note that the status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when returning from  
an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.  
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt will be executed  
after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can  
be used to avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence.  
Assembly Code Example  
in  
r16, SREG  
; store SREG value  
cli  
sbi  
sbi  
out  
; disable interrupts during timed sequence  
EECR, EEMPE ; start EEPROM write  
EECR, EEPE  
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) */  
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed before any pending  
interrupts, as shown in this example.  
Assembly Code Example  
sei  
; set Global Interrupt Enable  
sleep ; enter sleep, waiting for interrupt  
; note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s)  
C Code Example  
__enable_interrupt(); /* set Global Interrupt Enable */  
__sleep(); /* enter sleep, waiting for interrupt */  
/* note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s) */  
4.8.1 Interrupt Response Time  
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles minimum. After four clock cycles the  
program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the program  
counter is pushed onto the stack. The vector is normally a jump to the interrupt routine, and this jump takes three clock  
cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is  
served. If an interrupt occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is increased by four  
clock cycles. This increase comes in addition to the start-up time from the selected sleep mode.  
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock cycles, the program counter (two  
bytes) is popped back from the stack, the stack pointer is incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG is set.

Memories  
This section describes the different memories in the Atmel® ATtiny88. The AVR® architecture has two main memory spaces,  
the data memory and the program memory space. In addition, the Atmel ATtiny88 features an EEPROM memory for data  
storage. All three memory spaces are linear and regular.  
5.1  
In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory  
The Atmel ATtiny88 contains 8Kbytes on-chip in-system reprogrammable flash memory for program storage. Since all AVR  
instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the flash is organized as 4K x 16. Atmel ATtiny88 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 19.5.1 “SPMCSR – Store Program Memory Control and Status Register” on page 167 for more details.  
The flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The Atmel ATtiny88 program counter (PC) is  
11/12 bits wide, thus addressing the 4K program memory locations. Section 20. “Memory Programming” on page 168  
contains a detailed description on flash programming in SPI- or parallel programming mode.  
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see instructions LPM – load program  
memory and SPM – store program memory).  
Timing diagrams for instruction fetch and execution are presented in Section 4.7 “Instruction Execution Timing” on page 14.

SRAM Data Memory  
Figure 5-2 shows how the Atmel® ATtiny88 SRAM memory is organized.  
The Atmel ATtiny88 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 from 0x60 – 0xFF in SRAM, only the  
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.  
The lower 512/768 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 512 locations address the internal data SRAM.  
The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, indirect with displacement, 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-increment, 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 512 bytes of internal data  
SRAM in the Atmel ATtiny88 are all accessible through all these addressing modes. The register file is described in Section  
4.5 “General Purpose Register File” on page 12.

5.3  
EEPROM Data Memory  
Atmel® ATtiny88 devices contain 64 bytes of data EEPROM memory, 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. 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 20. “Memory Programming” on page 168 contains a detailed description on EEPROM programming in SPI or  
parallel programming mode.  
5.3.1 EEPROM Read/Write Access  
The EEPROM access registers are located in I/O space.  
The write access time for the EEPROM is given in Table 5-2 on page 23. A self-timing function, however, 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 Section 5.3.6 “Preventing EEPROM Corruption” on page 20 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  
Section 5.3.2 “Atomic Byte Programming” on page 18 and Section 5.3.3 “Split Byte Programming” on page 18 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.  
5.3.2 Atomic Byte Programming  
The simplest programming method is called atomic byte programming. When writing a byte to the EEPROM, the user must  
write the address into register EEAR and data into register EEDR. 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 5-1 on page 22. 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.  
5.3.3 Split Byte Programming  
It is possible to split the erase/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.  
5.3.4 Erase  
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 (programming time is given in Table 5-1 on page 22). 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.  
5.3.5 Write  
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 5-1 on page 22). 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 frequency is within the  
requirements described in Section 6.8.1 “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register” on page 30.

The following code examples show one assembly and one C function for erase, write, or atomic write of the EEPROM. The  
examples assume that interrupts are controlled (e.g., by disabling interrupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during  
execution of these functions.

/* Set up address register */  
EEAR = uiAddress;  
/* Start eeprom read by writing EERE */  
EECR |= (1<<EERE);  
/* Return data from Data Register */  
return EEDR;  
}
5.3.6 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 correctly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly,  
if the supply voltage is too low.  
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by keeping the RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power  
supply voltage. 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.

5.4  
I/O Memory  
The I/O space definition of the Atmel® ATtiny88 is shown in Section 23. “Register Summary” on page 202.  
All Atmel ATtiny88 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 ATtiny88 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location  
reserved in opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 – 0xFF in SRAM, only the  
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.  
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 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.  
5.4.1 General Purpose I/O Registers  
ATtiny88 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 status flags. General purpose I/O registers within the address range  
0x00 – 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.

• Bits 7..6 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bits 5, 4 – EEPM1 and EEPM0: EEPROM Programming Mode Bits  
The EEPROM programming mode bit 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 different operations. The programming times for the different modes are shown in Table 5-1. 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 EEPE is cleared. The interrupt will not be  
generated during EEPROM write or SPM.  
• Bit 2 – EEMPE: EEPROM Master Write Enable  
The EEMPE bit determines whether setting EEPE to one causes the EEPROM to be written. When EEMPE is set, setting  
EEPE within four clock cycles will write data to 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.  
See the description of the EEPE bit for an EEPROM write procedure.  
22  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
• Bit 1 – EEPE: EEPROM Write Enable  
The EEPROM write enable signal EEPE is the write strobe to the EEPROM. When address and data are correctly set up,  
the EEPE bit must be written to one to write the value into the EEPROM. The EEMPE bit must be written to one before a  
logical one is written to EEPE, otherwise no EEPROM write takes place. The following procedure should be followed when  
writing the EEPROM (the order of steps 3 and 4 is not essential):  
1. Wait until EEPE becomes zero.  
2. Wait until SELFPRGEN in SPMCSR becomes zero.  
3. Write new EEPROM address to EEAR (optional).  
4. Write new EEPROM data to EEDR (optional).  
5. Write a logical one to the EEMPE bit while writing a zero to EEPE in EECR.  
6. Within four clock cycles after setting EEMPE, write a logical one to EEPE.  
The EEPROM can not be programmed during a CPU write to the flash memory. The software must check that the flash  
programming is completed before initiating a new EEPROM write. If the flash is never being updated by the CPU, step 2 can  
be omitted.  
Caution:  
An interrupt between step 5 and step 6 will make the write cycle fail, since the EEPROM master write enable  
will time-out. If an interrupt routine accessing the EEPROM is interrupting another EEPROM access, the EEAR  
or EEDR register will be modified, causing the interrupted EEPROM access to fail. It is recommended to have  
the global interrupt flag cleared during all the steps to avoid these problems.  
When the write access time has elapsed, the EEPE bit is cleared by hardware. The user software can poll this bit and wait  
for a zero before writing the next byte. 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 a logic 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.  
The calibrated oscillator is used to time the EEPROM accesses. Table 5-2 lists the typical programming time for EEPROM  
access from the CPU.

Clock Systems and their Distribution  
Figure 6-1 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR® and their distribution. All of the clocks need not be active at a  
given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different

6.1.1 CPU Clock – clkCPU  
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR core. Examples of such modules are  
the general purpose register file, the status register and the data memory holding the stack pointer. Halting the CPU clock  
inhibits the core from performing general operations and calculations.  
6.1.2 I/O Clock – clkI/O  
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules such as Timer/Counters, the serial peripheral interface and the  
external interrupt module. Note, that some external interrupts are detected by asynchronous logic, meaning they are  
recognized even if the I/O clock is halted. Also note that the start condition detection of the two-wire interface module is  
asynchronous, meaning TWI address recognition works in all sleep modes (even when clkI/O is halted).  
6.1.3 Flash Clock – clkFLASH  
The flash clock controls operation of the flash interface. The flash clock is usually active simultaneously with the CPU clock.

9157E–AVR–07/14  
6.1.4 Analog to Digital Converter 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.  
6.1.5 High-Speed Two-Wire Interface Clock – clkTWIHS  
The TWI clock controls the operation of the two-wire interface module, when operated in high-speed mode. In practice, this  
clock is identical to the source clock of the device. See Section 15.5.2 “Bit Rate Generator Unit” on page 117.  
6.2  
Clock Sources  
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by flash fuse bits as shown below. The clock from the selected  
source is input to the AVR® clock generator, and routed to the appropriate modules.

6.2.1 Default Clock Source  
The device is shipped with internal oscillator at 8.0MHz and with the fuse CKDIV8 programmed, resulting in 1.0MHz system  
clock. The startup time is set to maximum and time-out period enabled (CKSEL = 0b10, SUT = 0b10, CKDIV8 = 0). The  
default setting ensures that all users can make their desired clock source setting using any available programming interface.  
6.2.2 Clock Startup Sequence  
Any clock source needs a sufficient VCC to start oscillating and a minimum number of oscillating cycles before it can be  
considered stable.  
To ensure sufficient VCC, the device issues an internal reset with a time-out delay (tTOUT) after the device reset is released by  
all other reset sources. Section 8. “System Control and Reset” on page 37 describes the start conditions for the internal  
reset. The delay (tTOUT) is timed from the watchdog oscillator and the number of cycles in the delay is set by the SUTx and  
CKSELx fuse bits. The selectable delays are shown in Table 6-2. The frequency of the Watchdog oscillator is voltage and  
temperature dependent, as shown in Section 22.8 “Internal Oscillator Speed” on page 200 and Figure 22-17 on page 200.

The main purpose of the delay is to keep the AVR® in reset until it is supplied with minimum VCC. The delay will not monitor  
the actual voltage and it will be required to select a delay longer than the VCC rise time. If this is not possible, an internal or  
external brown-out detection circuit should be used. A BOD circuit will ensure sufficient VCC before it releases the reset, and  
the time-out delay can be disabled. Disabling the time-out delay without utilizing a brown-out detection circuit is not  
recommended.  
The oscillator is required to oscillate for a minimum number of cycles before the clock is considered stable. An internal ripple  
counter monitors the oscillator output clock, and keeps the internal reset active for a given number of clock cycles. The reset  
is then released and the device will start to execute.  
The start-up sequence for the clock includes both the time-out delay and the start-up time when the device starts up from  
reset. When starting up from power-down mode, VCC is assumed to be at a sufficient level and only the start-up time is  
included.  
6.3  
Calibrated Internal Oscillator  
By default, the internal oscillator provides an approximate 8.0MHz clock. Though voltage and temperature dependent, this  
clock can be very accurately calibrated by the user. See Table 21-1 on page 185 for more details. The device is shipped with  
the CKDIV8 fuse programmed. See Section 6.7 “System Clock Prescaler” on page 29 for more details.  
This clock may be selected as the system clock by programming the CKSEL fuses as shown in Table 6-3 on page 27. If  
selected, it will operate with no external components. During reset, hardware loads the pre-programmed calibration value  
into the OSCCAL register and thereby automatically calibrates the oscillator. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as  
factory calibration in Table 21-1 on page 185.  
By changing the OSCCAL register from SW, see Section 6.8.1 “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register” on page 30, 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 21-1 on page 185.  
When this oscillator is used as the chip clock, the watchdog oscillator will still be used for the watchdog timer and for the  
reset time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see the section  
Section 20.4 “Calibration Byte” on page 170.

When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied clock frequency to ensure stable  
operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable  
behavior. If changes of more than 2% is required, ensure that the MCU is kept in reset during the changes.  
Note that the system clock prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of the internal clock frequency while still  
ensuring stable operation. Refer to Section 6.7 “System Clock Prescaler” on page 29 for details.  
6.6  
6.7  
Clock Output Buffer  
The device can output the system clock on the CLKO pin. To enable the output, the CKOUT fuse has to be programmed.  
This mode is suitable when the chip clock is used to drive other circuits on the system. The clock also will be output during  
reset, and the normal operation of I/O pin will be overridden when the fuse is programmed. Any clock source, including the  
internal oscillator, can be selected when the clock is output on CLKO. If the system clock prescaler is used, it is the divided  
system clock that is output.  
System Clock Prescaler  
The Atmel® ATtiny88 has a system clock prescaler, and the system clock can be divided by setting the  
Section 6.8.2 “CLKPR – Clock Prescale Register” on page 30. This feature can be used to decrease the system clock  
frequency and the 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 6-9 on page 31.  
When switching between prescaler settings, the system clock prescaler ensures that no glitches occur in the clock system. It  
also ensures that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting,  
nor the clock frequency corresponding to the new setting. The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the  
frequency of the 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 the other  
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.  
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a special write procedure must befollowed to change the CLKPS bits:  
1. Write the clock prescaler change enable (CLKPCE) bit to one and all other bitsin 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 to make sure the write procedure is not interrupted.

The oscillator calibration register is used to trim the internal oscillator to remove process variations from the oscillator  
frequency. A pre-programmed calibration value is automatically written to this register during chip reset, giving the factory  
calibrated frequency as specified in Table 21-1 on page 185. The application software can write to the OSCCAL register to  
change the oscillator frequency. The oscillator can be calibrated to frequencies as specified in Table 21-1 on page 185.  
calibration outside the given range is not guaranteed.  
Note that this oscillator is used to time EEPROM and flash write accesses, and the 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.  
All register bits are in use for frequency. A setting of 0x00 gives the lowest frequency and a setting of 0xFF gives the highest  
frequency.

• Bit 7 – CLKPCE: Clock Prescaler Change Enable  
The CLKPCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKPS bits. The CLKPCE 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  
CLKPS bits are written. 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 and will always read 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 system clock. These bits can be  
written run-time to vary the clock frequency to suit the application requirements. As the divider divides the master clock input  
to the MCU, the speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used. The division factors are  
given in Table 6-9 on page 31.  
The CKDIV8 fuse determines the initial value of the CLKPS bits. If CKDIV8 is unprogrammed, the CLKPS bits will be reset to  
0b0000. If CKDIV8 is programmed, CLKPS bits are reset to 0b0011, giving a division factor of 8 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.

Power Management and Sleep Modes  
Sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU, thereby saving power. The AVR® provides  
various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power consumption to the application’s requirements.  
When enabled, the brown-out detector (BOD) actively monitors the power supply voltage during the sleep periods. To further  
save power, it is possible to disable the BOD in some sleep modes. See Section 7.2 “Software BOD Disable” on page 33 for  
more details.  
7.1  
Sleep Modes  
Figure 6-1 on page 25 presents the different clock systems in the Atmel® ATtiny88, and their distribution. The figure is helpful  
in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 7-1 shows the different sleep modes, their wake up sources and the BOD  
disable ability.

Note:  
1. For INT1 and INT0, only level interrupt  
To enter any of the 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, or  
power-down) will be activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 7-2 on page 35 for a summary.  
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then halted for four cycles  
in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP.  
The contents of the register file and SRAM are unaltered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a reset occurs during  
sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the reset vector.  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up the changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU  
(and for the MCU to enter the interrupt service routine). See Section 9.2 “External Interrupts” on page 45 for details.  
7.1.1 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, 2-wire serial interface, Timer/Counters, 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 comparator 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.  
32  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
7.1.2 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 2-wire serial interface address watch 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 2-wire serial interface address match, an  
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.  
7.1.3 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 interrupts, the 2-wire serial interface address watch, and the watchdog  
continue operating (if enabled). Only an external reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, a  
2-wire serial interface address match, 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 operation 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 9.2 “External Interrupts” on page 45 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 6.2 “Clock Sources” on page 26.  
7.2  
Software BOD Disable  
When the brown-out detector (BOD) is enabled by BODLEVEL fuses (see Table 20-4 on page 169), the BOD is actively  
monitoring the power supply voltage during a sleep period. To save power, it is possible for software to disable the BOD in  
power-down mode. The sleep mode power consumption will then be at the same level as when BOD is globally disabled by  
fuses. If disabled by software, the BOD is turned off immediately after entering the sleep mode and automatically turned on  
upon wake-up. 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 the same as the wake-up time from RESET.  
This is in order to ensure the BOD is working correctly before the MCU continues executing code.  
BOD disable is controlled by bit 6, BODS (BOD Sleep) in the control register MCUCR, see Section 7.4.2 “MCUCR – MCU  
Control Register” on page 35. Writing this bit to one turns off the BOD in power-down mode, while a zero in this bit keeps  
BOD active. The default setting is zero, i.e. BOD active.  
Writing to the BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit, see Section 7.4.2 “MCUCR – MCU Control  
Register” on page 35.  
7.3  
Minimizing Power Consumption  
There are several issues to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in an AVR® controlled system. In  
general, sleep modes should be used as much as possible, and the sleep mode should be selected so that as few as  
possible of the device’s functions are operating. All functions not needed should be disabled. In particular, the following  
modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest possible power consumption.  
7.3.1 Analog to Digital Converter  
If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the ADC should be disabled before entering any  
sleep mode. When the ADC is turned off and on again, the next conversion will be an extended conversion. Refer to Section  
17. “Analog-to-Digital Converter” on page 145 for details on ADC operation.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
33  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
7.3.2 Analog Comparator  
When entering Idle mode, the analog comparator should be disabled if not used. When entering ADC noise reduction mode,  
the analog comparator should be disabled. In other sleep modes, the analog comparator is automatically disabled. However,  
if the analog comparator is set up to use the internal voltage reference as input, the analog comparator should be disabled in  
all sleep modes. Otherwise, the internal voltage reference will be enabled, independent of sleep mode. Refer to Section 16.  
“Analog Comparator” on page 142 for details on how to configure the analog comparator.  
7.3.3 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 8.2.3 “Brown-out Detection”  
on page 39 for details on how to configure the brown-out detector.  
7.3.4 Internal Voltage Reference  
The internal voltage reference will be enabled when needed by the brown-out detection, the analog comparator or the ADC.  
If these modules are disabled as described in the sections above, the internal voltage reference will be disabled and it will  
not be consuming power. When turned on again, the user must allow the reference to start up before the output is used. If  
the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately. Refer to Section 8.3 “Internal Voltage  
Reference” on page 40 for details on the start-up time.  
7.3.5 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 consumption. Refer to Section 8.4 “Watchdog Timer” on page 40 for details on how to  
configure the watchdog timer.  
7.3.6 Port Pins  
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The most important 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 10.2.6 “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 55 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 16.2.3 “DIDR1 – Digital Input Disable Register 1” on page 144 and  
Section 17.13.5 “DIDR0 – Digital Input Disable Register 0” on page 159 for details.  
7.3.7 On-chip Debug System  
If the on-chip debug system is enabled by the DWEN fuse and the chip enters sleep mode, the main clock source is enabled  
and hence always consumes power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current  
consumption.

• Bits 7, 3..0 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 6 – BODS: BOD Sleep  
The BODS bit must be written to logic one in order to turn off BOD during sleep, see Table 7-2. 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  
BODSE enables setting of BODS control bit, as explained in BODS bit description. BOD disable is controlled by a timed  
sequence.

7.4.3 PRR – Power Reduction Register  
The power reduction register (PRR) 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.

• Bits 6, 4, 1 – Res: Reserved  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 5 – PRTIM0: Power Reduction Timer/Counter0  
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter0 module. When the Timer/Counter0 is enabled, operation will  
continue like before the shutdown.  
• Bit 3 – PRTIM1: Power Reduction Timer/Counter1  
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter1 module. When the Timer/Counter1 is enabled, operation will  
continue like before the shutdown.  
• Bit 2 – PRSPI: Power Reduction Serial Peripheral Interface  
If using debugWIRE on-chip debug system, this bit should not be written to one.  
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the serial peripheral interface by stopping the clock to the module. When waking up  
the SPI again, the SPI should be re initialized to ensure proper operation.  
• Bit 0 – PRADC: Power Reduction ADC  
Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the ADC. The ADC must be disabled before shut down. The analog comparator  
cannot be used when the ADC is shut down.

System Control and Reset  
8.1  
Resetting the AVR  
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from the reset vector. The  
instruction placed at the reset vector must be 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 8-1 shows the reset circuit. Table 21-4 on page 186 shows the electrical  
parameters of the reset circuitry.

CKSEL[1:0]  
SUT[1:0]  
The I/O ports of the AVR® are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This does not require  
any clock source to be running.  
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This allows the power to  
reach a stable level before normal operation starts. The 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 6.2 “Clock Sources” on  
page 26.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
37  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
8.2  
Reset Sources  
The ATtiny88 has four sources of reset:  
Power-on reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the power-on reset threshold (VPOT), or when the  
supply voltage falls rapidly.  
External reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for longer than the required 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.  
8.2.1 Power-on Reset  
A power-on reset (POR) pulse is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The detection level is defined in  
Table 21-4 on page 186. 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.

8.2.2 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 21-4 on page 186) 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 20-4 on page 169.

8.2.3 Brown-out Detection  
Atmel® ATtiny88 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. The trigger level  
has a hysteresis to ensure spike free brown-out detection. The hysteresis on the detection 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 (VBOT- in Figure 8-5), the brown-out reset is immediately activated. When VCC increases above the trigger level  
(VBOT+ in Figure 8-5), 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 longer than tBOD given in Section  
21.5 “System and Reset Characterizations” on page 186.

8.2.4 Watchdog Reset  
When the watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle duration. On the falling edge of this pulse,  
the delay timer starts counting the time-out period tTOUT. Refer to Section 8.4 “Watchdog Timer” on page 40 for details on  
operation of the watchdog timer.

Internal Voltage Reference  
Atmel® ATtiny88 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.  
8.3.1 Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time  
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The start-up time is given in Section  
21.5 “System and Reset Characterizations” on page 186. 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 internal reference is connected to the analog comparator (by setting the ACBG bit in ACSR).  
3. When the ADC is enabled.  
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACBG bit or enabling the ADC, the user must always allow the  
reference to start up before the output from the analog comparator or ADC is used. To reduce power consumption in  
power-down mode, the user can avoid the three conditions above to ensure that the reference is turned off before entering  
power-down mode.  
8.4  
Watchdog Timer  
The watchdog timer is clocked from an on-chip oscillator which runs at 128kHz. By controlling the watchdog timer prescaler,  
the watchdog reset interval can be adjusted as shown in Table 8-3 on page 43. The WDR – watchdog reset – instruction  
resets the watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is also reset when it is disabled and when a chip reset occurs. Ten different  
clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset period. If the reset period expires without another watchdog reset,  
the Atmel ATtiny88 resets and executes from the reset vector. For timing details on the watchdog reset, refer to  
Table 8-3 on page 43.  
The watchdog timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can be very helpful when using  
the watchdog to wake-up from power-down.  
40  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
To prevent unintentional disabling of the watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period, two different safety levels are  
selected by the fuse WDTON as shown in Table 8-1 See Section 8.4.1 “Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of  
the Watchdog Timer” on page 41 for details.

8.4.1 Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer  
The sequence for changing configuration differs slightly between the two safety levels. Separate procedures are described  
for each level.  
8.4.2 Safety Level 1  
In this mode, the watchdog timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit to one without any restriction.  
A timed sequence is needed when disabling an enabled watchdog timer. To disable an enabled watchdog timer, the  
following procedure must be followed:  
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to 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, in the same operation, write the WDE and WDP bits as desired, but with the  
WDCE bit cleared.  
8.4.3 Safety Level 2  
In this mode, the watchdog timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read as one. A timed sequence is needed  
when changing the watchdog time-out period. To change the watchdog time-out, the following procedure must be followed:  
1. In the same operation, write a logical one to WDCE and WDE. Even though the WDE always is set, the WDE must  
be written to one to start the timed sequence.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operation, write the WDP bits as desired, but with the WDCE bit  
cleare d. The value written to the WDE bit is irrelevant.

• Bit 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog System Reset Flag  
This bit is set if a watchdog system reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.  
• Bit 2 – BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag  
This bit is set if a brown-out reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.  
• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag  
This bit is set if an external reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.  
• Bit 0 – PORF: Power-on Reset Flag  
This bit is set if a power-on reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a logic zero to the flag.  
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.

• Bit 7 WDIF: Watchdog Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set when a time-out occurs in the watchdog timer and the watchdog timer is configured 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 interrupt mode, and the corresponding interrupt is executed if time-out  
in the watchdog timer occurs.  
42  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
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.

• 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.  
• 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.  
• Bits 5, 2..0 WDP3..0: Watchdog Timer Prescaler Bits 3, 2, 1 and 0  
The WDP3..0 bits determine the watchdog timer prescaling when the watchdog timer is running. The different prescaling  
values and their corresponding time-out periods are shown in Table 8-3 on page 43.

External Interrupts  
The external interrupts are triggered by the INT0 and INT1 pins or any of the PCINT27..0 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the  
interrupts will trigger even if the INT0 and INT1 or PCINT27..0 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of  
generating a software interrupt, as follows.  
Pin change interrupt PCI3 triggers if a pin in PCINT27..24 is toggled while enabled  
Pin change interrupt PCI2 triggers if a pin in PCINT23..16 is toggled while enabled  
Pin change interrupt PCI1 triggers if a pin in PCINT15..8 is toggled while enabled  
Pin change interrupt PCI0 triggers if a pin in PCINT7..0 is toggled while enabled  
The PCMSK3, PCMSK2, PCMSK1 and PCMSK0 registers control which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin  
change interrupts on PCINT27..0 are detected asynchronously. This means that these interrupts can be used for waking the  
part also from sleep modes other than idle mode.  
The INT0 and INT1 interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge, or a low level. This is configured as described in  
Section 9.3.1 “EICRA – External Interrupt Control Register A” on page 47. When INT0 or INT1 interrupts are enabled and  
are configured as level triggered, the interrupts will trigger as long as the corresponding pin is held low. Note that recognition  
of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 or INT1 requires the presence of an I/O clock, described in Section 6.1 “Clock  
Systems and their Distribution” on page 25.

9.2.1 Low Level Interrupt  
Low level interrupts on INT0 and INT1 are detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt sources can be used for  
waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except idle mode).  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from power-down, the required level must be held long enough for  
the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If the level disappears before the end of the start-up time, the  
MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the SUT and CKSEL fuses as  
described in Section 6. “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 25.  
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program execution will not be diverted to  
the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following the SLEEP command.

10. I/O-Ports  
10.1 Introduction  
All AVR® ports have true read-modify-write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This means that the direction  
of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI  
instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors  
(if configured as input). The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually  
selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and  
ground as indicated in Figure 10-1. Refer to Section 21. “Electrical Characteristics” on page 183 for a complete list of  
parameters.

Logic  
See Figure  
”General Digital I/O”  
for Details  
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the numbering letter for  
the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the  
precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn. The  
physical I/O registers and bit locations are listed in Section 10.4 “Register Description” on page 65.  
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the data register – PORTx, data direction  
register – DDRx, and the port input pins – PINx. The port Input pins I/O location is read only, while the data register and the  
data direction register are read/write. However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx register, will result in a toggle in the  
corresponding bit in the data register. In addition, the pull-up disable – PUD bit in MCUCR disables the pull-up function for all  
pins in all ports when set.  
Using the I/O port as general digital I/O is described in Section 10.2 “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page 52. 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 Section 10.3 “Alternate Port Functions” on page 56. Refer to the individual module sections for a  
full description of the alternate functions.  
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the other pins in the port as  
general digital I/O.

10.2 Ports as General Digital I/O  
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 10-2 shows a functional description of one

10.2.1 Configuring the Pin  
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in Section 10.4 “Register Description” on  
page 65, 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).

ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
10.2.2 Toggling the Pin  
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn. Note that the SBI instruction  
can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.  
10.2.3 Break-Before-Make Switching  
In the break-before-make mode when switching the DDRxn bit from input to output an immediate tri-state period lasting one  
system clock cycle is introduced as indicated in Figure 10-3. For example, if the system clock is 4MHz and the DDRxn is  
written to make an output, the immediate tri-state period of 250 ns is introduced, before the value of PORTxn is seen on the  
port pin. To avoid glitches it is recommended that the maximum DDRxn toggle frequency is two system clock cycles. The  
break-before-make is a port-wise mode and it is activated by the port-wise BBMx enable bits. For details on BBMx bits, see  
Section 10.4.2 “PORTCR – Port Control Register” on page 65. When switching the DDRxn bit from output to input there is no  
immediate tri-state period introduced.

10.2.4 Switching Between Input and Output  
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b11), an intermediate  
state with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) must occur. Normally, the  
pull-up enabled state is fully acceptable, as a high-impedant environment will not notice the difference between a strong high  
driver and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR register can be set to disable all pull-ups in all ports.  
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user must use either the tri-state  
({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b11) as an intermediate step.

10.2.5 Reading the Pin Value  
Independent of the setting of data direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the PINxn register bit. As shown in  
Figure 10-2 on page 52, the PINxn register bit and the preceding latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid  
metastability if the physical pin changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. Figure 10-4  
shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin value. The maximum and minimum  
propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch is closed when the clock is  
low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal  
value is latched when the system clock goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn register at the succeeding positive clock edge.  
As indicated by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition on the pin will be delayed between ½ and 1½  
system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.  
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated in Figure 10-5. 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.

input with pull-ups assigned to port pins 6 and 7. The resulting pin values are read back again, but as previously discussed,  
a nop instruction is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.

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.  
C Code Example  
unsigned char i;  
...  
/* Define pull-ups and set outputs high */  
/* Define directions for port pins */  
PORTB = (1<<PB7)|(1<<PB6)|(1<<PB1)|(1<<PB0);  
DDRB = (1<<DDB3)|(1<<DDB2)|(1<<DDB1)|(1<<DDB0);  
/* Insert nop for synchronization*/  
__no_operation();  
/* Read port pins */  
i = PINB;  
...  
10.2.6 Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes  
As shown in Figure 10-2 on page 52, 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 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 various other alternate functions as described in Section 10.3  
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 56.  
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as “interrupt on rising edge, falling  
edge, or any logic change on pin” while the external interrupt is not enabled, the corresponding external interrupt flag will be  
set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested  
logic change.  
10.2.7 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 currents if  
the pin is accidentally configured as an output.

10.3 Alternate Port Functions  
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure 10-6 shows how the port pin control  
signals from the simplified Figure 10-2 on page 52 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 AVR®  
microcontroller family.

11. 8-bit Timer/Counter0  
11.1 Features  
Two independent output compare units  
Clear timer on compare match (auto reload)  
Three independent interrupt sources (TOV0, OCF0A, and OCF0B)  
11.2 Overview  
Timer/Counter0 is a general purpose 8-bit Timer/Counter module, with two independent output compare units. It allows  
accurate program execution timing (event management). A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in  
Figure 11-1. For the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to Section 1-1 “Pinout of ATtiny88” on page 3. CPU accessible I/O  
registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O register and bit locations are listed in the  
Section 11.8 “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 73.  
The PRTIM0 bit in Section 7.4.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 36 must be written to zero to enable  
Timer/Counter0 module.

11.2.1 Definitions  
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form, where a lower case “n” replaces the  
Timer/Counter number (in this case 0) and a lower case “x” replaces the output compare Unit (in this case compare unit A or  
compare unit B). However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT0  
for accessing Timer/Counter0 counter value and so on.  
The definitions in Table 11-1 are used extensively throughout the document.  
Table 11-1. Definitions  
Parameter  
Definition  
MAX  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).  
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.  
TOP  
11.2.2 Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and output compare registers (OCR0A and OCR0B) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt request  
(abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the timer interrupt flag register (TIFR0). All interrupts are  
individually masked with the timer interrupt mask register (TIMSK0). TIFR0 and TIMSK0 are not shown in the figure.  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T0 pin. The clock select  
logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter uses to increment 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 output compare registers (OCR0A and OCR0B) are compared with the Timer/Counter value at all times. The compare  
match event will also set the compare flag (OCF0A or OCF0B) which can be used to generate an output compare interrupt  
request.  
11.3 Timer/Counter Clock Sources  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is selected by the clock  
select logic which is controlled by the clock select (CS02:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter control register (TCCR0A). For  
details on clock sources and prescaler, see Section 13. “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 102.  
11.4 Counter Unit  
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure 11-2 shows a block diagram  
of the counter and its surroundings.

Increment or decrement TCNT0 by 1.  
Clear TCNT0 (set all bits to zero).  
Timer/Counter clock, referred to as clkT0 in the following.  
Signalize that TCNT0 has reached maximum value.  
Depending of the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared or incremented 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 clear timer on compare match bit (CTC0) located in the  
Timer/Counter control register (TCCR0A). For more details about advanced counting sequences, see  
Section 11.6 “Modes of Operation” on page 71.  
The Timer/Counter overflow flag (TOV0) is set according to the mode of operation selected by the CTC0 bit. TOV0 can be  
used for generating a CPU interrupt.  
11.5 Output Compare Unit  
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the output compare registers (OCR0A and OCR0B). Whenever  
TCNT0 equals OCR0A or OCR0B, the comparator signals a match. A match will set the output compare flag (OCF0A or  
OCF0B) at the next timer clock cycle. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the output compare flag generates an output  
compare interrupt. The output compare flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the flag  
can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.  
Figure 11-3 shows a block diagram of the output compare unit.

11.5.1 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write  
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 register will block any compare match that occur in the next timer clock cycle, even  
when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0x to be initialized to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an  
interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.  
11.5.2 Using the Output Compare Unit  
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are risks  
involved when changing TCNT0 when using the output compare unit, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running  
or not. If the value written to TCNT0 equals the OCR0x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect  
waveform generation.

9157E–AVR–07/14  
11.6 Modes of Operation  
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the output compare pins, is defined by the CTC0 bit.  
For detailed timing information refer to Section 11.7 “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 72.  
11.6.1 Normal Mode  
The simplest mode of operation is the normal mode (CTC0 = 0). In this mode the counting direction is always up  
(incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value  
(TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter overflow flag (TOV0) will be  
set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 becomes zero. The TOV0 flag in this case behaves like a ninth bit, except  
that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0 flag,  
the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to consider in the normal mode, a new counter  
value can be written anytime.  
The output compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time.  
11.6.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode  
In clear timer on compare or CTC mode (CTC0 = 1), the OCR0A register is used to manipulate the counter resolution. In  
CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0A. The OCR0A defines the top  
value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It  
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 11-4. The counter value (TCNT0) increases until a compare match  
occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and then counter (TCNT0) is cleared.  
Figure 11-4. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram  
OCnx Interrupt Flag Set  
TCNTn

Period  
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the OCF0A flag. If the interrupt  
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to  
BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does  
not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR0A is lower than the current value of TCNT0, the  
counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap around  
starting at 0x00 before the compare match can occur.  
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.

The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT0) is therefore shown as a clock enable signal in the  
following figures. The figures include information on when interrupt flags are set. Figure 11-5 contains timing data for basic  
Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes.

The Timer/Counter register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter.  
Writing to the TCNT0 register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter  
(TCNT0) while the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT0 and the OCR0x  
registers.

bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.  
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management), wave generation, and signal  
timing measurement. A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 12-1.

12.2.1 Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), output compare registers (OCR1A/B), and input capture register (ICR1) are all 16-bit registers.  
Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are described in the section  
Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 78. The Timer/Counter control registers (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers  
and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the  
timer interrupt flag register (TIFR1). All interrupts are individually masked with the timer interrupt mask register (TIMSK1).  
TIFR1 and TIMSK1 are not shown in the figure.  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T1 pin. The clock select  
logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The  
Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer  
clock (clkT1).  
The double buffered output compare registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the Timer/Counter value at all time. The result  
of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the output  
compare pin (OC1A/B). See Section 12.7 “Output Compare Units” on page 84. 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 Section 16. “Analog Comparator” on page 142). The input capture  
unit includes a digital filtering unit (noise canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.  
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined by either the OCR1A  
register, the ICR1 register, or by a set of fixed values. When using OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCR1A  
register can not be used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowing  
the TOP value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICR1 register can be used as an alternative,  
freeing the OCR1A to be used as PWM output.  
12.2.2 Definitions  
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:  
Table 12-1. Definitions  
Parameter Definition  
BOTTOM  
MAX  
The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65535).  
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence. The TOP  
value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in  
the OCR1A or ICR1 register. The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.  
TOP  
12.3 Accessing 16-bit Registers  
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via the 8-bit data bus.  
The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for  
temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit access. The same temporary register is shared between all 16-bit registers  
within each 16-bit timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When the low byte of a 16-bit  
register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the temporary register, and the low byte written are both copied into the  
16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit  
register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read.  
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-bit registers does not involve  
using the temporary register.  
To do a 16-bit write, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit read, the low byte must be read before the  
high byte.

The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit timer registers assuming that no interrupts updates the  
temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing the OCR1A/B and ICR1 registers. Note that when  
using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit access.

Note:  
1. Section 3.2 “About Code Examples” on page 8  
For I/O registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must  
be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “STS” combined with  
“SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”.  
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 register pair.  
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt occurs between the two  
instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code updates the temporary register by accessing the same or  
any other of the 16-bit timer registers, then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when  
both the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary register, the main code must disable the interrupts during  
the 16-bit access.

12.3.1 Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register  
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written, then the high byte only  
needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic operation described previously also applies in this  
case.  
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 Section 13. “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 102.

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: counter high (TCNT1H) containing the upper eight bits of  
the counter, and counter low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight bits. The TCNT1H register can only be indirectly accessed  
by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register  
(TEMP). The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read, and TCNT1H is updated with  
the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value  
within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus. It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1  
register when the counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the sections  
where they are of importance.  
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at each timer clock (clkT1).  
The clkT1 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, selected by the clock select bits (CS12:0). When no  
clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU,  
independent of whether clkT1 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or count operations.  
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the waveform generation mode bits (WGM13:0) located in the  
Timer/Counter control registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B). There are close connections between how the counter  
behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the output compare outputs OC1x. For more details about  
advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see Section 12.9 “Modes of Operation” on page 87.  
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. The small “n” in register and bit names indicates the  
Timer/Counter number.

When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the input capture pin (ICP1), alternatively on the analog comparator  
output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is  
triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter (TCNT1) is written to the input capture register (ICR1). The input capture flag (ICF1)  
is set at the same system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1 register.  
If enabled (ICIE1 = 1), the input capture flag generates an input capture interrupt. The ICF1 flag is automatically cleared  
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF1 flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit  
location.  
Reading the 16-bit value in the input capture register (ICR1) is done by first reading the low byte (ICR1L) and then the high  
byte (ICR1H). When the low byte is read the high byte is copied into the high byte temporary register (TEMP). When the  
CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will access the TEMP register.  
The ICR1 register can only be written when using a waveform generation mode that utilizes the ICR1 register for defining the  
counter’s TOP value. In these cases the waveform generation mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can  
be written to the ICR1 register. When writing the ICR1 register the high byte must be written to the ICR1H I/O location before  
the low byte is written to ICR1L.  
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 78.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

9157E–AVR–07/14  
12.6.1 Input Capture Trigger Source  
The main trigger source for the input capture unit is the input capture pin (ICP1). Timer/Counter1 can alternatively use the  
analog comparator output as trigger source for the input capture unit. The analog comparator is selected as trigger source by  
setting the analog comparator input capture (ACIC) bit in the analog comparator control and status register (ACSR). Be  
aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The input capture flag must therefore be cleared after the change.  
Both the input capture pin (ICP1) and the analog comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled using the same technique as  
for the T1 pin (Figure 13-1 on page 102). 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 interrupt handler routine as possible.  
Even though the input capture interrupt has relatively high priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the  
maximum number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.  
Using the input capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is actively changed during operation,  
is not recommended.  
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after each capture. Changing the  
edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1 register has been read. After a change of the edge, the input  
capture flag (ICF1) must be cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,  
the clearing of the ICF1 flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).

The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the output compare register (OCR1x). If TCNT equals OCR1x  
the comparator signals a match. A match will set the output compare flag (OCF1x) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled  
(OCIE1x = 1), the output compare flag generates an output compare interrupt. The OCF1x flag is automatically cleared  
when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1x flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit  
location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by the  
waveform generation mode (WGM13:0) bits and compare output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals  
are used by the waveform generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation  
(See Section 12.9 “Modes of Operation” on page 87)  
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.

The OCR1x register is double buffered when using any of the twelve pulse width modulation (PWM) modes. For the normal  
and clear timer on compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes  
the update of the OCR1x compare register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The synchronization  
prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.  
The OCR1x register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the CPU has  
access to the OCR1x buffer register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR1x directly. The content  
of the OCR1x (buffer or compare) register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/Counter does not update this  
register automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 register). Therefore OCR1x is not read via the high byte temporary register  
(TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the low byte first as when accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCR1x  
registers must be done via the TEMP register since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte (OCR1xH)  
has to be written first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP register will be updated by the value  
written. Then when the low byte (OCR1xL) is written to the lower eight bits, the high byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits  
of either the OCR1x buffer or OCR1x compare register in the same system clock cycle.  
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 78.  
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 (FOC1x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the OCF1x flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC1x pin  
will be updated as if a real compare match had occurred (the COM11:0 bits settings define whether the OC1x pin is set,  
cleared or toggled).  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

9157E–AVR–07/14  
12.7.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT1 Write  
All CPU writes to the TCNT1 register will block any compare match that occurs in the next timer clock cycle, even when the  
timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1x to be initialized to the same value as TCNT1 without triggering an interrupt  
when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.  
12.7.3 Using the Output Compare Unit  
Since writing TCNT1 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are risks  
involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the output compare channels, independent of whether the Timer/Counter  
is running or not. If the value written to TCNT1 equals the OCR1x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in  
incorrect waveform generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP values. The  
compare match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF. Similarly, do not write the TCNT1 value  
equal to BOTTOM when the counter is downcounting.  
The setup of the OC1x should be performed before setting the data direction register for the port pin to output. The easiest  
way of setting the OC1x value is to use the force output compare (FOC1x) strobe bits in normal mode. The OC1x register  
keeps its value even when changing between waveform generation modes.  
Be aware that the COM1x1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value. Changing the COM1x1:0 bits will  
take effect immediately.  
12.8 Compare Match Output Unit  
The compare output mode (COM1x1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits for  
defining the output compare (OC1x) state at the next compare match. Secondly the COM1x1:0 bits control the OC1x pin  
output source. Figure 12-5 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM1x1:0 bit setting. The I/O registers,  
I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O port control registers (DDR and PORT)  
that are affected by the COM1x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC1x state, the reference is for the internal OC1x  
register, not the OC1x pin. If a system reset occur, the OC1x register is reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the output compare (OC1x) from the waveform generator if either of the  
COM1x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC1x pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the data direction register  
(DDR) for the port pin. The data direction register bit for the OC1x pin (DDR_OC1x) must be set as output before the OC1x  
value is visible on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the waveform generation mode, but there  
are some exceptions. Refer to Table 12-2 on page 95, Table 12-3 on page 96 and Table 12-4 on page 96 for details.  
The design of the output compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC1x state before the output is enabled. Note that  
some COM1x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation.  
See Section 12.11 “Register Description” on page 95  
The COM1x1:0 bits have no effect on the input capture unit.  
12.8.1 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation  
The waveform generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting the  
COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC1x register is to be performed on the next compare  
match. For compare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 12-2 on page 95. For fast PWM mode refer to  
Table 12-3 on page 96, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 12-4 on page 96.  
A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are written. For non-PWM  
modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the FOC1x strobe bits.  
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 (COM1x1:0) bits. The compare output mode bits do  
not affect the counting sequence, while the waveform generation mode bits do. The COM1x1:0 bits control whether the  
PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM1x1:0 bits  
control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a compare match  
(See Section 12.8 “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 86).  
For detailed timing information refer to Section 12.10 “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 93.  
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 overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1  
flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to consider in the normal mode, a new  
counter value can be written anytime.  
The input capture unit is easy to use in normal mode. However, observe that the maximum interval between the external  
events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt  
or the prescaler must be used to extend the resolution for the capture unit.  
The output compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the output compare to generate  
waveforms in normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.  
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  
resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of  
counting external events.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

9157E–AVR–07/14  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 12-6. 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 logical level on each compare  
match by setting the compare output mode bits to toggle mode (COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the  
port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will have a  
maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform frequency is defined by the  
following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
-------------------------------------------------  
f
=
OCnA  
2 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  
(OC1x) is set on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x, and cleared at TOP. In inverting compare output mode  
output is cleared on compare match and set at TOP. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the fast  
PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dual-slope  
operation.  
This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High  
frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors), hence reduces total system cost.  
88  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
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:  
logTOP + 1  
---------------------------------  
=
R
FPWM  
log2  
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 12-7. The figure shows fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the  
timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and  
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x  
and TCNT1. The OC1x interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition the OC1A or ICF1 flag is set  
at the same timer clock cycle as TOV1 is set when either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value. If one of the  
interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP and compare values.  
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the  
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between  
the TCNT1 and the OCR1x. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the  
OCR1x registers are written.  
The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP value. The ICR1 register is  
not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low value when the counter is running with none or a low  
prescaler value, there is a risk that the new ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of TCNT1. The result will then  
be that the counter will miss the compare match at the TOP value. The counter will then have to count to the MAX value  
(0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur. The OCR1A register however, is double  
buffered. This feature allows the OCR1A I/O location to be written anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is written the  
value written will be put into the OCR1A buffer register. The OCR1A compare register will then be updated with the value in  
the buffer register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNT1 matches TOP. The update is done at the same timer clock cycle  
as the TCNT1 is cleared and the TOV1 flag is set.  
Using the ICR1 register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A register is  
free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by  
changing the TOP value), using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

9157E–AVR–07/14  
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to  
two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (see  
Table on page 96). The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as  
output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x register at the compare match  
between OCR1x and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared  
(changes from TOP to BOTTOM).  
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:  
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 OCR1x register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the fast  
PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock  
cycle. Setting the OCR1x equal to TOP will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set  
by the COM1x1:0 bits.)  
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC1A to toggle its logical  
level on each compare match (COM1A1:0 = 1). This applies only if OCR1A is used to define the TOP value  
(WGM13:0 = 15). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero  
(0x0000). This feature is similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the output compare  
unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.  
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 (OC1x) is cleared on the compare  
match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while upcounting, and set on the compare match while downcounting. In inverting output  
compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency than single  
slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor  
control applications.  
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A.  
The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or  
OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:  
logTOP + 1  
---------------------------------  
=
R
PCPWM  
log2  
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 12-8 on page 91.  
The figure shows phase correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing  
diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted  
PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and  
TCNT1. The OC1x interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When either OCR1A or ICR1 is  
used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 flag is set accordingly at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x  
registers are updated with the double buffer value (at TOP). The interrupt flags can be used to generate an interrupt each  
time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.  
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the  
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between  
the TCNT1 and the OCR1x. Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the  
OCR1x registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 12-8 illustrates, changing the TOP actively while the  
Timer/Counter is running in the phase correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found  
in the time of update of the OCR1x register. Since the OCR1x update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at  
TOP. This implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the length of the rising  
slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the two slopes of the period will differ in length. The  
difference in length gives the unsymmetrical result on the output.  
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase correct mode when changing the TOP  
value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static TOP value there are practically no differences between the  
two modes of operation.  
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins. Setting the  
COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the  
COM1x1:0 to three (See Table 12-4 on page 96). The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data  
direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x  
register at the compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x  
register at compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output  
when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
---------------------------  
f
=
OCnxPCPWM  
2 N TOP  
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR1x register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the phase  
correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the  
output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic  
values. If OCR1A is used to define the TOP value (WGM13:0 = 11) and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output will toggle with a  
50% duty cycle.

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  
(OC1x) is cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x while upcounting, and set on the compare match  
while downcounting. In inverting compare output mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower  
maximum operation frequency compared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-  
slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.  
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM mode is the time the OCR1x  
register is updated by the OCR1x buffer register, (see Figure 12-8 on page 91 and Figure 12-9).  
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The  
minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A  
set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated using the following equation:  
logTOP + 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 frequency correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 12-9. The figure shows phase and frequency correct PWM mode  
when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating  
the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on  
the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x interrupt flag will be set when a  
compare match occurs.

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.  
92  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the  
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between  
the TCNT1 and the OCR1x.  
As Figure 12-9 on page 92 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, symmetrical in all periods.  
Since the OCR1x registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising and the falling slopes will always be equal. This  
gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore frequency correct.  
Using the ICR1 register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A register is  
free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by  
changing the TOP value, using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.  
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1x pins.  
Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to 0b10 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by  
setting the COM1x1:0 to 0b11 (See Table 12-4 on page 96). The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the  
data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the  
OC1x register at the compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the  
OC1x register at compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter decrements.  
The PWM frequency for the output when using phase and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by the following  
equation:  
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 OCR1x register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the phase  
correct PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the  
output will be set to high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If  
OCR1A is used to define the TOP value and COM1A1:0 = 1, the OC1A output will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.  
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 OCR1x register is updated  
with the OCR1x buffer value (only for modes utilizing double buffering). Figure 12-10 shows a timing diagram for the setting  
of OCF1x.

• Bit 7:6 – COM1A1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel A  
• Bit 5:4 – COM1B1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel B  
The COM1A1:0 and COM1B1:0 control the output compare pins (OC1A and OC1B respectively) behavior. If one or both of  
the COM1A1:0 bits are written to one, the OC1A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected  
to. If one or both of the COM1B1:0 bit are written to one, the OC1B output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O  
pin it is connected to. However, note that the data direction register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC1A or OC1B pin must  
be set in order to enable the output driver.  
When the OC1A or OC1B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1x1:0 bits is dependent of the WGM13:0 bits  
setting. Table 12-2 shows the COM1x1:0 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 capture is therefore delayed by four oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.  
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture Edge Select  
This bit selects which edge on the input capture pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture event. When the ICES1 bit is  
written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and when the ICES1 bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge  
will trigger the capture.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
97  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
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

• 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 OC1A/OC1B output is changed according to its COM1x1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC1A/FOC1B bits are  
implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COM1x1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced  
compare.

ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in clear timer on compare match (CTC)

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 Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 78  
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT1  
and one of the OCR1x registers.  
Writing to the TCNT1 register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock for all compare units.

can be used to generate an output compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC1x pin.

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 12-5 on page 97 for the TOV1 flag behavior when using another WGM13:0 bit setting.  
TOV1 is automatically cleared when the Timer/Counter1 overflow interrupt vector is executed. Alternatively, TOV1 can be  
cleared by writing a logic one to its bit location.

13. Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers  
Section 11. “8-bit Timer/Counter0” on page 68 and Section 12. “16-bit Timer/Counter1 with PWM” on page 76 share the  
same prescaler module, but the Timer/Counters can have different prescaler settings. The description below applies to both  
Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0.  
13.1 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 (fCLK_I/O). Alternatively, one of  
four taps from the prescaler can be used as a clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either fCLK_I/O/8,  
f
CLK_I/O/64, fCLK_I/O/256, or fCLK_I/O/1024.  
13.2 Prescaler Reset  
The prescaler is free running, i.e., operates independently of the clock select logic of the Timer/Counter, and it is shared by  
Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0. 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 (CSn2:0 = 0b010, 0b011, 0b100, or 0b101). The number of system  
clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles, where N  
equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution. However, care must be  
taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the  
prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is connected to.  
13.3 External Clock Source  
An external clock source applied to the T1/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clkT1/clkT0). The T1/T0 pin is sampled  
once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through  
the edge detector. Figure 13-1 shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1/T0 synchronization and edge detector  
logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch is transparent in the high  
period of the internal system clock.  
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or negative (CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.

Edge Detector  
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles from an edge has been  
applied to the T1/T0 pin to the counter is updated.  
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1/T0 has been stable for at least one system clock cycle,  
otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.  
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to ensure correct sampling. The  
external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50% duty  
cycle. Since the edge detector uses sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling  
frequency (nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency and duty cycle caused by  
oscillator source tolerances, it is recommended that maximum frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.  
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

• 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  
PSRSYNC bit is kept, hence keeping the corresponding prescaler reset signals asserted. This ensures that the  
corresponding Timer/Counters are halted and can be configured to the same value without the risk of one of them advancing  
during configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSRSYNC bit are cleared by hardware, and the  
Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.  
• Bits 6..1 – Reserved  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 0 – PSRSYNC: Prescaler Reset  
When this bit is one, Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by  
hardware, except if the TSM bit is set. Note that Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 share the same prescaler and a reset  
of this prescaler will affect both timers.

9157E–AVR–07/14  
The PRSPI bit in Section 7.4.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 36 must be written to zero to enable the SPI  
module.  
The interconnection between master and slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 14-2. The system consists of two shift  
registers, and a master clock generator. The SPI master initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the slave select  
SS pin of the desired slave. Master and slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift registers, and the master  
generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted from master to slave on the  
master out – slave In, MOSI, line, and from slave to master on the master In – slave out, MISO, line. After each data packet,  
the master will synchronize the slave by pulling high the slave select, SS, line.  
When configured as a master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This must be handled by user  
software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a byte to the SPI data register starts the SPI clock  
generator, and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting  
the end of transmission flag (SPIF). If the SPI interrupt enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR register is set, an interrupt is  
requested. The master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or signal the end of packet by pulling high  
the slave select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be kept in the buffer register for later use.  
When configured as a slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long as the SS pin is driven high.  
In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI data register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by  
incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of  
transmission flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI interrupt enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR register is set, an interrupt is requested. The  
slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be  
kept in the buffer register for later use.

The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction. This means that bytes to  
be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI data register before the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data,  
however, a received character must be read from the SPI data register before the next character has been completely  
shifted in. Otherwise, the first byte is lost.  
In SPI slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of the clock  
signal, the frequency of the SPI clock should never exceed fosc/4.  
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden according to Table 14-1. For  
more details on automatic port overrides, refer to Section 10.3 “Alternate Port Functions” on page 56.

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

14.3 SS Pin Functionality  
14.3.1 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.  
14.3.2 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  
following 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 possibility 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.  
14.4 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 Figure 14-3 and Figure 14-4.

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

• 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 reading 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 and will always read 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 14-5 on page 110). 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 fosc/4 or lower.  
The SPI interface on the Atmel® ATtiny88 is also used for program memory and EEPROM downloading or uploading. See

The 2-wire serial interface (TWI) is ideally suited for typical microcontroller applications. The TWI protocol allows the  
systems designer to interconnect up to 128 different devices using only two bi-directional bus lines, one for clock (SCL) and  
one for data (SDA). The only external hardware needed to implement the bus is a single pull-up resistor for each of the TWI  
bus lines. All devices connected to the bus have individual addresses, and mechanisms for resolving bus contention are  
inherent in the TWI protocol.

15.2.2 Electrical Interconnection  
As depicted in Figure 15-1 on page 112, both bus lines are connected to the positive supply voltage through pull-up resistors.  
The bus drivers of all TWI-compliant devices are open-drain or open-collector. This implements a wired-AND function which  
is essential to the operation of the interface. A low level on a TWI bus line is generated when one or more TWI devices  
output a zero. A high level is output when all TWI devices tri-state their outputs, allowing the pull-up resistors to pull the line  
high. Note that all AVR® devices connected to the TWI bus must be powered in order to allow any bus operation.  
The number of devices that can be connected to the bus is only limited by the bus capacitance limit of 400 pF and the 7-bit  
slave address space. A detailed specification of the electrical characteristics of the TWI is given in  
Section 21.7 “2-wire Serial Interface Characteristics” on page 188. Two different sets of specifications are presented there,  
one relevant for bus speeds below 100kHz, and one valid for bus speeds up to 400kHz.  
15.3 Data Transfer and Frame Format  
15.3.1 Transferring Bits  
Each data bit transferred on the TWI bus is accompanied by a pulse on the clock line. The level of the data line must be  
stable when the clock line is high. The only exception to this rule is for generating start and stop conditions.

15.3.2 START and STOP Conditions  
The master initiates and terminates a data transmission. The transmission is initiated when the master issues a START  
condition on the bus, and it is terminated when the master issues a STOP condition. Between a START and a STOP  
condition, the bus is considered busy, and no other master should try to seize control of the bus. A special case occurs when  
a new START condition is issued between a START and STOP condition. This is referred to as a REPEATED START  
condition, and is used when the master wishes to initiate a new transfer without relinquishing control of the bus. After a  
REPEATED START, the bus is considered busy until the next STOP. This is identical to the START behavior, and therefore  
START is used to describe both START and REPEATED START for the remainder of this datasheet, unless otherwise  
noted.  
As depicted below, START and STOP conditions are signalled by changing the level of the SDA line when the SCL line is  
high.

15.3.3 Address Packet Format  
All address packets transmitted on the TWI bus are 9 bits long, consisting of 7 address bits, one READ/WRITE control bit  
and an acknowledge bit. If the READ/WRITE bit is set, a read operation is to be performed, otherwise a write operation  
should be performed. When a slave recognizes that it is being addressed, it should acknowledge by pulling SDA low in the  
ninth SCL (ACK) cycle. If the addressed slave is busy, or for some other reason can not service the master’s request, the  
SDA line should be left high in the ACK clock cycle. The master can then transmit a STOP condition, or a REPEATED  
START condition to initiate a new transmission. An address packet consisting of a slave address and a READ or a WRITE  
bit is called SLA+R or SLA+W, respectively.

START  
The MSB of the address byte is transmitted first. Slave addresses can freely be allocated by the designer, but the address  
0000 000 is reserved for a general call.  
When a general call is issued, all slaves should respond by pulling the SDA line low in the ACK cycle. A general call is used  
when a master wishes to transmit the same message to several slaves in the system. When the general call address  
followed by a Write bit is transmitted on the bus, all slaves set up to acknowledge the general call will pull the SDA line low in  
the ack cycle.  
The following data packets will then be received by all the slaves that acknowledged the general call. Note that transmitting  
the general call address followed by a read bit is meaningless, as this would cause contention if several slaves started  
transmitting different data.  
All addresses of the format 1111 xxx should be reserved for future purposes.  
15.3.4 Data Packet Format  
All data packets transmitted on the TWI bus are nine bits long, consisting of one data byte and an acknowledge bit. During a  
data transfer, the master generates the clock and the START and STOP conditions, while the receiver is responsible for  
acknowledging the reception. An acknowledge (ACK) is signalled by the receiver pulling the SDA line low during the ninth  
SCL cycle. If the receiver leaves the SDA line high, a NACK is signalled. When the receiver has received the last byte, or for  
some reason cannot receive any more bytes, it should inform the transmitter by sending a NACK after the final byte. The  
MSB of the data byte is transmitted first.

15.3.5 Combining Address and Data Packets into a Transmission  
A transmission basically consists of a START condition, a SLA+R/W, one or more data packets and a STOP condition. An  
empty message, consisting of a START followed by a STOP condition, is illegal. Note that the Wired-ANDing of the SCL line  
can be used to implement handshaking between the master and the slave. The slave can extend the SCL low period by  
pulling the SCL line low. This is useful if the clock speed set up by the master is too fast for the slave, or the slave needs  
extra time for processing between the data transmissions. The slave extending the SCL low period will not affect the SCL  
high period, which is determined by the master. As a consequence, the slave can reduce the TWI data transfer speed by  
prolonging the SCL duty cycle.  
Figure 15-6 shows a typical data transmission. Note that several data bytes can be transmitted between the SLA+R/W and  
the STOP condition, depending on the software protocol implemented by the application software.

15.4 Multi-master Bus Systems, Arbitration and Synchronization  
The TWI protocol allows bus systems with several masters. Special concerns have been taken in order to ensure that  
transmissions will proceed as normal, even if two or more masters initiate a transmission at the same time. Two problems  
arise in multi-master systems:  
An algorithm must be implemented allowing only one of the masters to complete the transmission. All other masters  
should cease transmission when they discover that they have lost the selection process. This selection process is  
called arbitration. When a contending master discovers that it has lost the arbitration process, it should immediately  
switch to slave mode to check whether it is being addressed by the winning master. The fact that multiple masters  
have started transmission at the same time should not be detectable to the slaves, i.e. the data being transferred on  
the bus must not be corrupted.  
Different masters may use different SCL frequencies. A scheme must be devised to synchronize the serial clocks  
from all masters, in order to let the transmission proceed in a lockstep fashion. This will facilitate the arbitration  
process.

Counting High Period  
The wired-ANDing of the bus lines is used to solve both these problems. The serial clocks from all masters will be  
wired-ANDed, yielding a combined clock with a high period equal to the one from the master with the shortest high period.  
The low period of the combined clock is equal to the low period of the master with the longest low period. Note that all  
masters listen to the SCL line, effectively starting to count their SCL high and low time-out periods when the combined SCL  
line goes high or low, respectively.  
Arbitration is carried out by all masters continuously monitoring the SDA line after outputting data. If the value read from the  
SDA line does not match the value the master had output, it has lost the arbitration. Note that a master can only lose  
arbitration when it outputs a high SDA value while another master outputs a low value. The losing master should  
immediately go to slave mode, checking if it is being addressed by the winning master. The SDA line should be left high, but  
losing masters are allowed to generate a clock signal until the end of the current data or address packet. Arbitration will  
continue until only one master remains, and this may take many bits. If several masters are trying to address the same slave,  
arbitration will continue into the data packet.

It is the user software’s responsibility to ensure that these illegal arbitration conditions never occur. This implies that in  
multi-master systems, all data transfers must use the same composition of SLA+R/W and data packets. In other words: All  
transmissions must contain the same number of data packets, otherwise the result of the arbitration is undefined.  
15.5 Overview of the TWI Module  
The TWI module is comprised of several submodules, as shown in Figure 15-9. All registers drawn in a thick line are  
accessible through the AVR® data bus.

15.5.1 SCL and SDA Pins  
These pins interface the AVR TWI with the rest of the MCU system. The output drivers contain a slew-rate limiter in order to  
conform to the TWI specification. The input stages contain a spike suppression unit removing spikes shorter than 50ns. Note  
that the internal pull-ups in the AVR pads can be enabled by setting the PORT bits corresponding to the SCL and SDA pins,  
as explained in the I/O port section. The internal pull-ups can in some systems eliminate the need for external ones.  
15.5.2 Bit Rate Generator Unit  
When operating in a master mode this unit controls the period of SCL. The SCL period is controlled by settings in the TWI Bit  
rate register (TWBR) and the prescaler bits in the TWI status register (TWSR). Slave operation does not depend on bit rate  
or prescaler settings, but the clock frequency in the slave must be at least 16 times higher than the SCL frequency. Note that  
slaves may prolong the SCL low period, thereby reducing the average TWI bus clock period.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
117  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
The TWI can be set to operate in high-speed mode, as described in Section 15.9.7 “TWHSR – TWI High Speed Register” on  
page 141. In high-speed mode the TWI uses the system clock, whereas in normal mode it relies on a prescaled version of  
the same. Depending on the clock signal used, the SCL frequency is generated according to one of the following equations.  
In normal mode:

16 + 2 TWBR TWPS  
In high-speed mode:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

...where:  
clkI/O = prescaled system clock, see Figure 6-1 on page 25  
clkTWIHS = system clock, see Figure 6-1 on page 25  
TWBR = value of TWI Bit Rate Register, see Section 15.9.1 “TWBR – TWI Bit Rate Register” on page 137  
TWPS = value of TWI prescaler, see Table 15-8 on page 139  
In TWI master mode TWBR must be 10, or higher .  
Note:  
15.5.3 Bus Interface Unit  
This unit contains the data and address shift register (TWDR), a START/STOP controller and arbitration detection hardware.  
The TWDR contains the address or data bytes to be transmitted, or the address or data bytes received. In addition to the  
8-bit TWDR, the bus interface unit also contains a register containing the (N)ACK bit to be transmitted or received. This  
(N)ACK register is not directly accessible by the application software. However, when receiving, it can be set or cleared by  
manipulating the TWI control register (TWCR). When in transmitter mode, the value of the received (N)ACK bit can be  
determined by the value in the TWSR.  
The START/STOP controller is responsible for generation and detection of START, REPEATED START, and STOP  
conditions. The START/STOP controller is able to detect START and STOP conditions even when the AVR® MCU is in one  
of the sleep modes, enabling the MCU to wake up if addressed by a master.  
If the TWI has initiated a transmission as master, the arbitration detection hardware continuously monitors the transmission  
trying to determine if arbitration is in process. If the TWI has lost an arbitration, the control unit is informed. correct action can  
then be taken and appropriate status codes generated.  
15.5.4 Address Match Unit  
The address match unit checks if received address bytes match the seven-bit address in the TWI address register (TWAR).  
If the TWI general call recognition enable (TWGCE) bit in the TWAR is written to one, all incoming address bits will also be  
compared against the general call address. Upon an address match, the control unit is informed, allowing correct action to  
be taken. The TWI may or may not acknowledge its address, depending on settings in the TWCR. The address match unit is  
able to compare addresses even when the AVR MCU is in sleep mode, enabling the MCU to wake up if addressed by a  
master. If another interrupt (e.g., INT0) occurs during TWI power-down address match and wakes up the CPU, the TWI  
aborts operation and return to it’s idle state. If this cause any problems, ensure that TWI address match is the only enabled  
interrupt when entering power-down.  
118  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
15.5.5 Control Unit  
The control unit monitors the TWI bus and generates responses corresponding to settings in the TWI control register  
(TWCR). When an event requiring the attention of the application occurs on the TWI bus, the TWI interrupt flag (TWINT) is  
asserted. In the next clock cycle, the TWI status register (TWSR) is updated with a status code identifying the event. The  
TWSR only contains relevant status information when the TWI interrupt flag is asserted. At all other times, the TWSR  
contains a special status code indicating that no relevant status information is available. As long as the TWINT flag is set, the  
SCL line is held low. This allows the application software to complete its tasks before allowing the TWI transmission to  
continue.  
The TWINT flag is set in the following situations:  
After the TWI has transmitted a START/REPEATED START condition.  
After the TWI has transmitted SLA+R/W.  
After the TWI has transmitted an address byte.  
After the TWI has lost arbitration.  
After the TWI has been addressed by own slave address or general call.  
After the TWI has received a data byte.  
After a STOP or REPEATED START has been received while still addressed as a slave.  
When a bus error has occurred due to an illegal START or STOP condition.  
15.6 Using the TWI  
The AVR® TWI is byte-oriented and interrupt based. Interrupts are issued after all bus events, like reception of a byte or  
transmission of a START condition. Because the TWI is interrupt-based, the application software is free to carry on other  
operations during a TWI byte transfer. Note that the TWI interrupt enable (TWIE) bit in TWCR together with the global  
interrupt enable bit in SREG allow the application to decide whether or not assertion of the TWINT flag should generate an  
interrupt request. If the TWIE bit is cleared, the application must poll the TWINT flag in order to detect actions on the TWI  
bus.  
When the TWINT flag is asserted, the TWI has finished an operation and awaits application response. In this case, the TWI  
status register (TWSR) contains a value indicating the current state of the TWI bus. The application software can then  
decide how the TWI should behave in the next TWI bus cycle by manipulating the TWCR and TWDR registers.  
Figure 15-10 is a simple example of how the application can interface to the TWI hardware. In this example, a master wishes  
to transmit a single data byte to a Slave. This description is quite abstract, a more detailed explanation follows later in this  
section. A simple code example implementing the desired behavior is also presented.

1. The first step in a TWI transmission is to transmit a START condition. This is done by writing a specific value into  
TWCR, instructing the TWI hardware to transmit a START condition. Which value to write is described later on.  
However, it is important that the TWINT bit is set in the value written. Writing a one to TWINT clears the flag. The  
TWI will not start any operation as long as the TWINT bit in TWCR is set. Immediately after the application has  
cleared TWINT, the TWI will initiate transmission of the START condition.  
2. When the START condition has been transmitted, the TWINT flag in TWCR is set, and TWSR is updated with a  
status code indicating that the START condition has successfully been sent.  
3. The application software should now examine the value of TWSR, to make sure that the START condition was  
successfully transmitted. If TWSR indicates otherwise, the application software might take some special action,  
like calling an error routine. Assuming that the status code is as expected, the application must load SLA+W into  
TWDR. Remember that TWDR is used both for address and data. After TWDR has been loaded with the desired  
SLA+W, a specific value must be written to TWCR, instructing the TWI hardware to transmit the SLA+W present in  
TWDR. Which value to write is described later on. However, it is important that the TWINT bit is set in the value  
written. Writing a one to TWINT clears the flag. The TWI will not start any operation as long as the TWINT bit in  
TWCR is set. Immediately after the application has cleared TWINT, the TWI will initiate transmission of the  
address packet.  
4. When the address packet has been transmitted, the TWINT flag in TWCR is set, and TWSR is updated with a  
status code indicating that the address packet has successfully been sent. The status code will also reflect  
whether a slave acknowledged the packet or not.  
5. The application software should now examine the value of TWSR, to make sure that the address packet was  
successfully transmitted, and that the value of the ACK bit was as expected. If TWSR indicates otherwise, the  
application software might take some special action, like calling an error routine. Assuming that the status code is  
as expected, the application must load a data packet into TWDR. Subsequently, a specific value must be written to  
TWCR, instructing the TWI hardware to transmit the data packet present in TWDR. Which value to write is  
described later on. However, it is important that the TWINT bit is set in the value written. Writing a one to TWINT  
clears the flag. The TWI will not start any operation as long as the TWINT bit in TWCR is set. Immediately after the  
application has cleared TWINT, the TWI will initiate transmission of the data packet.  
6. When the data packet has been transmitted, the TWINT flag in TWCR is set, and TWSR is updated with a status  
code indicating that the data packet has successfully been sent. The status code will also reflect whether a slave  
acknowledged the packet or not.  
7. The application software should now examine the value of TWSR, to make sure that the data packet was  
successfully transmitted, and that the value of the ACK bit was as expected. If TWSR indicates otherwise, the  
application software might take some special action, like calling an error routine. Assuming that the status code is  
as expected, the application must write a specific value to TWCR, instructing the TWI hardware to transmit a  
STOP condition. Which value to write is described later on. However, it is important that the TWINT bit is set in the  
value written. Writing a one to TWINT clears the flag. The TWI will not start any operation as long as the TWINT bit  
in TWCR is set. Immediately after the application has cleared TWINT, the TWI will initiate transmission of the  
STOP condition. Note that TWINT is NOT set after a STOP condition has been sent.  
Even though this example is simple, it shows the principles involved in all TWI transmissions. These can be summarized as  
follows:  
When the TWI has finished an operation and expects application response, the TWINT flag is set. The SCL line is  
pulled low until TWINT is cleared.  
When the TWINT flag is set, the user must update all TWI registers with the value relevant for the next TWI bus cycle.  
As an example, TWDR must be loaded with the value to be transmitted in the next bus cycle.  
After all TWI register updates and other pending application software tasks have been completed, TWCR is written.  
When writing TWCR, the TWINT bit should be set. Writing a one to TWINT clears the flag. The TWI will then  
commence executing whatever operation was specified by the TWCR setting.

15.7 Transmission Modes  
The TWI can operate in one of four major modes. These are named master transmitter (MT), master receiver (MR), slave  
transmitter (ST) and slave receiver (SR). Several of these modes can be used in the same application. As an example, the  
TWI can use MT mode to write data into a TWI EEPROM, MR mode to read the data back from the EEPROM. If other  
masters are present in the system, some of these might transmit data to the TWI, and then SR mode would be used. It is the  
application software that decides which modes are legal.  
The following sections describe each of these modes. Possible status codes are described along with figures detailing data  
transmission in each of the modes. These figures contain the following abbreviations:  
S: START condition  
Rs: REPEATED START condition  
R: Read bit (high level at SDA)  
W: Write bit (low level at SDA)  
A: Acknowledge bit (low level at SDA)  
A: Not acknowledge bit (high level at SDA)  
Data: 8-bit data byte  
P: STOP condition  
SLA: Slave address  
In Figure 15-12 on page 125 to Figure 15-18 on page 135, circles are used to indicate that the TWINT flag is set. The  
numbers in the circles show the status code held in TWSR, with the prescaler bits masked to zero. At these points, actions  
must be taken by the application to continue or complete the TWI transfer. The TWI transfer is suspended until the TWINT  
flag is cleared by software.  
When the TWINT flag is set, the status code in TWSR is used to determine the appropriate software action. For each status  
code, the required software action and details of the following serial transfer are given in Table 15-3 on page 124 to  
Table 15-6 on page 134. Note that the prescaler bits are masked to zero in these tables.  
15.7.1 Master Transmitter Mode  
In the master transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a slave receiver (see Figure 15-11). In order to  
enter a master mode, a START condition must be transmitted. The format of the following address packet determines  
whether master transmitter or master receiver mode is to be entered. If SLA+W is transmitted, MT mode is entered, if SLA+R  
is transmitted, MR mode is entered. All the status codes mentioned in this section assume that the prescaler bits are zero or  
are masked to zero.

TWEN must be set to enable the 2-wire serial interface, TWSTA must be written to one to transmit a START condition and  
TWINT must be written to one to clear the TWINT flag. The TWI will then test the 2-wire serial bus and generate a START  
condition as soon as the bus becomes free. After a START condition has been transmitted, the TWINT flag is set by  
hardware, and the status code in TWSR will be 0x08 (see Table 15-3 on page 124). In order to enter MT mode, SLA+W must  
be transmitted. This is done by writing SLA+W to TWDR. Thereafter the TWINT bit should be cleared (by writing it to one) to  
continue the transfer. This is accomplished by writing the following value to TWCR:

When SLA+W have been transmitted and an acknowledgement bit has been received, TWINT is set again and a number of  
status codes in TWSR are possible. Possible status codes in master mode are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38. The appropriate action  
to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 15-3 on page 124.  
When SLA+W has been successfully transmitted, a data packet should be transmitted. This is done by writing the data byte  
to TWDR. TWDR must only be written when TWINT is high. If not, the access will be discarded, and the write collision bit  
(TWWC) will be set in the TWCR register. After updating TWDR, the TWINT bit should be cleared (by writing it to one) to  
continue the transfer. This is accomplished by writing the following value to TWCR:

After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the 2-wire serial interface can access the same slave again, or a new slave  
without transmitting a STOP condition. Repeated START enables the master to switch between slaves, master transmitter  
mode and master receiver mode without losing control of the bus.

15.7.2 Master Receiver Mode  
In the master receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a slave transmitter (slave see  
Figure 15-13 on page 126). In order to enter a master mode, a START condition must be transmitted. The format of the  
following address packet determines whether master transmitter or master receiver mode is to be entered. If SLA+W is  
transmitted, MT mode is entered, if SLA+R is transmitted, MR mode is entered. All the status codes mentioned in this  
section assume that the prescaler bits are zero or are masked to zero.

TWEN must be written to one to enable the TWI. The TWEA bit must be written to one to enable the acknowledgement of  
the device’s own slave address or the general call address. TWSTA and TWSTO must be written to zero.  
When TWAR and TWCR have been initialized, the TWI waits until it is addressed by its own slave address (or the general  
call address if enabled) followed by the data direction bit. If the direction bit is “0” (write), the TWI will operate in SR mode,  
otherwise ST mode is entered. After its own slave address and the write bit have been received, the TWINT flag is set and a  
valid status code can be read from TWSR. The status code is used to determine the appropriate software action. The  
appropriate action to be taken for each status code is detailed in Table 15-5 on page 130. The slave receiver mode may also  
be entered if arbitration is lost while the TWI is in the master mode (see states 0x68 and 0x78).  
If the TWEA bit is reset during a transfer, the TWI will return a “not acknowledge” (“1”) to SDA after the next received data  
byte. This can be used to indicate that the slave is not able to receive any more bytes. While TWEA is zero, the TWI does not  
acknowledge its own slave address. However, the 2-wire serial bus is still monitored and address recognition may resume at  
any time by setting TWEA. This implies that the TWEA bit may be used to temporarily isolate the TWI from the 2-wire serial  
bus.  
In all sleep modes other than Idle mode, the clock system to the TWI is turned off. If the TWEA bit is set, the interface can  
still acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address by using the 2-wire serial bus clock as a clock source.  
The part will then wake up from sleep and the TWI will hold the SCL clock low during the wake up and until the TWINT flag is  
cleared (by writing it to one). Further data reception will be carried out as normal, with the AVR® clocks running as normal.  
Observe that if the AVR is set up with a long start-up time, the SCL line may be held low for a long time, blocking other data  
transmissions.  
Note that the 2-wire serial interface data register – TWDR does not reflect the last byte present on the bus when waking up  
from these Sleep modes.

15.7.4 Slave Transmitter Mode  
In the slave transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a master receiver (see Figure 15-17). All the status  
codes mentioned in this section assume that the prescaler bits are zero or are masked to zero.

The upper seven bits are the address to which the 2-wire serial interface will respond when addressed by a master. If the

TWEN must be written to one to enable the TWI. The TWEA bit must be written to one to enable the acknowledgement of  
the device’s own slave address or the general call address. TWSTA and TWSTO must be written to zero.  
When TWAR and TWCR have been initialized, the TWI waits until it is addressed by its own slave address (or the general  
call address if enabled) followed by the data direction bit. If the direction bit is “1” (read), the TWI will operate in ST mode,  
otherwise SR mode is entered. After its own slave address and the write bit have been received, the TWINT flag is set and a  
valid status code can be read from TWSR. The status code is used to determine the appropriate software action. The  
appropriate action to be taken for each status code is detailed in Table 15-6 on page 134. The slave transmitter mode may  
also be entered if arbitration is lost while the TWI is in the master mode (see state 0xB0).  
If the TWEA bit is written to zero during a transfer, the TWI will transmit the last byte of the transfer. State 0xC0 or state 0xC8  
will be entered, depending on whether the master receiver transmits a NACK or ACK after the final byte. The TWI is  
switched to the not addressed Slave mode, and will ignore the master if it continues the transfer. Thus the master receiver  
receives all “1” as serial data. State 0xC8 is entered if the master demands additional data bytes (by transmitting ACK), even  
though the slave has transmitted the last byte (TWEA zero and expecting NACK from the master).  
While TWEA is zero, the TWI does not respond to its own slave address. However, the 2-wire serial bus is still monitored  
and address recognition may resume at any time by setting TWEA. This implies that the TWEA bit may be used to  
temporarily isolate the TWI from the 2-wire serial bus.  
In all sleep modes other than Idle mode, the clock system to the TWI is turned off. If the TWEA bit is set, the interface can  
still acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address by using the 2-wire serial bus clock as a clock source.  
The part will then wake up from sleep and the TWI will hold the SCL clock will low during the wake up and until the TWINT  
flag is cleared (by writing it to one). Further data transmission will be carried out as normal, with the AVR® clocks running as  
normal. Observe that if the AVR is set up with a long start-up time, the SCL line may be held low for a long time, blocking  
other data transmissions.  
Note that the 2-wire serial interface data register – TWDR does not reflect the last byte present on the bus when waking up  
from these sleep modes.

15.7.5 Miscellaneous States  
There are two status codes that do not correspond to a defined TWI state, see Table 15-7.  
Status 0xF8 indicates that no relevant information is available because the TWINT flag is not set. This occurs between other  
states, and when the TWI is not involved in a serial transfer.  
Status 0x00 indicates that a bus error has occurred during a 2-wire serial bus transfer. A bus error occurs when a START or  
STOP condition occurs at an illegal position in the format frame. Examples of such illegal positions are during the serial  
transfer of an address byte, a data byte, or an acknowledge bit. When a bus error occurs, TWINT is set. To recover from a  
bus error, the TWSTO flag must set and TWINT must be cleared by writing a logic one to it. This causes the TWI to enter the  
not addressed Slave mode and to clear the TWSTO flag (no other bits in TWCR are affected). The SDA and SCL lines are  
released, and no STOP condition is transmitted.

15.7.6 Combining Several TWI Modes  
In some cases, several TWI modes must be combined in order to complete the desired action. Consider for example reading  
data from a serial EEPROM. Typically, such a transfer involves the following steps:  
1. The transfer must be initiated.  
2. The EEPROM must be instructed what location should be read.  
3. The reading must be performed.  
4. The transfer must be finished.  
Note that data is transmitted both from master to slave and vice versa. The master must instruct the slave what location it  
wants to read, requiring the use of the MT mode. Subsequently, data must be read from the slave, implying the use of the  
MR mode. Thus, the transfer direction must be changed. The master must keep control of the bus during all these steps, and  
the steps should be carried out as an atomical operation. If this principle is violated in a multi master system, another master  
can alter the data pointer in the EEPROM between steps 2 and 3, and the master will read the wrong data location. Such a  
change in transfer direction is accomplished by transmitting a REPEATED START between the transmission of the address  
byte and reception of the data. After a REPEATED START, the master keeps ownership of the bus. The following figure  
shows the flow in this transfer.

15.8 Multi-master Systems and Arbitration  
If multiple masters are connected to the same bus, transmissions may be initiated simultaneously by one or more of them.  
The TWI standard ensures that such situations are handled in such a way that one of the masters will be allowed to proceed  
with the transfer, and that no data will be lost in the process. An example of an arbitration situation is depicted below, where  
two masters are trying to transmit data to a slave receiver.

Several different scenarios may arise during arbitration, as described below:  
Two or more masters are performing identical communication with the same slave. In this case, neither the slave nor  
any of the masters will know about the bus contention.  
Two or more masters are accessing the same slave with different data or direction bit. In this case, arbitration will  
occur, either in the READ/WRITE bit or in the data bits. The masters trying to output a one on SDA while another  
master outputs a zero will lose the arbitration. Losing masters will switch to not addressed Slave mode or wait until the  
bus is free and transmit a new START condition, depending on application software action.  
Two or more masters are accessing different slaves. In this case, arbitration will occur in the SLA bits. Masters trying  
to output a one on SDA while another master outputs a zero will lose the arbitration. Masters losing arbitration in SLA  
will switch to slave mode to check if they are being addressed by the winning master. If addressed, they will switch to  
SR or ST mode, depending on the value of the READ/WRITE bit. If they are not being addressed, they will switch to  
not addressed slave mode or wait until the bus is free and transmit a new START condition, depending on application  
software action.  
This is summarized in Figure 15-21. Possible status values are given in circles.

TWBR selects the division factor for the bit rate generator. The bit rate generator is a frequency divider which generates the  
SCL clock frequency in the Master modes. See Section 15.5.2 “Bit Rate Generator Unit” on page 117 for calculating bit rates.  
If the TWI operates in master mode TWBR must be set to 10, or higher.

The TWCR is used to control the operation of the TWI. It is used to enable the TWI, to initiate a master access by applying a  
START condition to the bus, to generate a receiver acknowledge, to generate a stop condition, and to control halting of the  
bus while the data to be written to the bus are written to the TWDR. It also indicates a write collision if data is attempted  
written to TWDR while the register is inaccessible.  
• Bit 7 – TWINT: TWI Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set by hardware when the TWI has finished its current job and expects application software response. If the I-bit in  
SREG and TWIE in TWCR are set, the MCU will jump to the TWI interrupt vector. While the TWINT flag is set, the SCL low  
period is stretched. The TWINT flag must be cleared by software by writing a logic one to it. Note that this flag is not  
automatically cleared by hardware when executing the interrupt routine. Also note that clearing this flag starts the operation  
of the TWI, so all accesses to the TWI address register (TWAR), TWI status register (TWSR), and TWI data register (TWDR)  
must be complete before clearing this flag.  
• Bit 6 – TWEA: TWI Enable Acknowledge Bit  
The TWEA bit controls the generation of the acknowledge pulse. If the TWEA bit is written to one, the ACK pulse is  
generated on the TWI bus if the following conditions are met:  
1. The device’s own slave address has been received.  
2. A general call has been received, while the TWGCE bit in the TWAR is set.  
3. A data byte has been received in master receiver or slave receiver mode.  
By writing the TWEA bit to zero, the device can be virtually disconnected from the 2-wire serial bus temporarily. Address  
recognition can then be resumed by writing the TWEA bit to one again.  
• Bit 5 – TWSTA: TWI START Condition Bit  
The application writes the TWSTA bit to one when it desires to become a master on the 2-wire serial bus. The TWI hardware  
checks if the bus is available, and generates a START condition on the bus if it is free. However, if the bus is not free, the  
TWI waits until a STOP condition is detected, and then generates a new START condition to claim the bus master status.  
TWSTA must be cleared by software when the START condition has been transmitted.  
• Bit 4 – TWSTO: TWI STOP Condition Bit  
Writing the TWSTO bit to one in master mode will generate a STOP condition on the 2-wire serial bus. When the STOP  
condition is executed on the bus, the TWSTO bit is cleared automatically. In slave mode, setting the TWSTO bit can be used  
to recover from an error condition. This will not generate a STOP condition, but the TWI returns to a well-defined  
unaddressed slave mode and releases the SCL and SDA lines to a high impedance state.  
• Bit 3 – TWWC: TWI Write Collision Flag  
The TWWC bit is set when attempting to write to the TWI data register – TWDR when TWINT is low. This flag is cleared by  
writing the TWDR register when TWINT is high.  
• Bit 2 – TWEN: TWI Enable Bit  
The TWEN bit enables TWI operation and activates the TWI interface. When TWEN is written to one, the TWI takes control  
over the I/O pins connected to the SCL and SDA pins, enabling the slew-rate limiters and spike filters. If this bit is written to  
zero, the TWI is switched off and all TWI transmissions are terminated, regardless of any ongoing operation.

• Bit 1 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is a reserved bit and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 0 – TWIE: TWI Interrupt Enable  
When this bit is written to one, and the I-bit in SREG is set, the TWI interrupt request will be activated for as long as the  
TWINT flag is high.

• Bits 7..3 – TWS: TWI Status  
These 5 bits reflect the status of the TWI logic and the 2-wire serial bus. The different status codes are described later in this  
section. Note that the value read from TWSR contains both the 5-bit status value and the 2-bit prescaler value. The  
application designer should mask the prescaler bits to zero when checking the status bits. This makes status checking  
independent of prescaler setting. This approach is used in this datasheet, unless otherwise noted.  
• Bit 2 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved and will always read as zero.  
• Bits 1..0 – TWPS: TWI Prescaler Bits  
These bits can be read and written, and control the bit rate prescaler.

TWDR  
Read/Write  
Initial Value  
In transmit mode, TWDR contains the next byte to be transmitted. In receive mode, the TWDR contains the last byte  
received. It is writable while the TWI is not in the process of shifting a byte. This occurs when the TWI interrupt flag (TWINT)  
is set by hardware. Note that the data register cannot be initialized by the user before the first interrupt occurs. The data in  
TWDR remains stable as long as TWINT is set. While data is shifted out, data on the bus is simultaneously shifted in. TWDR  
always contains the last byte present on the bus, except after a wake up from a sleep mode by the TWI interrupt. In this  
case, the contents of TWDR is undefined. In the case of a lost bus arbitration, no data is lost in the transition from master to  
slave. Handling of the ACK bit is controlled automatically by the TWI logic, the CPU cannot access the ACK bit directly.

The TWAR should be loaded with the 7-bit slave address (in the seven most significant bits of TWAR) to which the TWI will  
respond when programmed as a slave transmitter or receiver, and not needed in the master modes. In multi master  
systems, TWAR must be set in masters which can be addressed as slaves by other masters.  
The LSB of TWAR is used to enable recognition of the general call address (0x00). There is an associated address  
comparator that looks for the slave address (or general call address if enabled) in the received serial address. If a match is  
found, an interrupt request is generated.  
• Bits 7..1 – TWA: TWI (Slave) Address Register  
These seven bits constitute the slave address of the TWI unit.

The TWAMR can be loaded with a 7-bit salve address mask. Each of the bits in TWAMR can mask (disable) the  
corresponding address bits in the TWI address register (TWAR). If the mask bit is set to one then the address match logic  
ignores the compare between the incoming address bit and the corresponding bit in TWAR. Figure 15-22 shown the address

• Bits 7..1 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 0 – TWHS: TWI High Speed Enable  
TWI high speed mode is enabled by writing this bit to one. In this mode the undivided system clock is selected as TWI clock.  
See Figure 6-1 on page 25.  
The TWI high speed mode requires that the high-speed clock, clkTWIHS, is exactly two times higher than the I/O clock  
frequency, clkI/O. This means the user must make sure the I/O clock frequency clkI/O is scaled down by a factor of 2. For  
example, if the internal 8MHz oscillator has been selected as source clock, the user must set the prescaler to scale the  
system clock (and, hence, the I/O clock) down to 4MHz. For more information about clock systems, see  
Section 6.1 “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 25.

16. Analog Comparator  
The analog comparator compares the input values on the positive pin AIN0 and negative pin AIN1. When the voltage on the  
positive pin AIN0 is higher than the voltage on the negative pin AIN1, the analog comparator output, ACO, is set. The  
comparator’s output can be set to trigger the Timer/Counter1 input capture function. In addition, the comparator can trigger a  
separate interrupt, exclusive to the analog comparator. The user can select interrupt triggering on comparator output rise, fall  
or toggle. A block diagram of the comparator and its surrounding logic is shown in Figure 16-1.  
The ADC power reduction bit, PRADC, must be disabled in order to use the ADC input multiplexer. This is done by clearing  
the PRADC bit in the power reduction register, PRR. See Section 7.4.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 36 for  
more details.

16.1 Analog Comparator Multiplexed Input  
It is possible to select any of the ADC7..0 pins to replace the negative input to the analog comparator. The ADC multiplexer  
is used to select this input, and consequently, the ADC must be switched off to utilize this feature. If the analog comparator  
multiplexer enable bit (ACME in ADCSRB) is set and the ADC is switched off (ADEN in ADCSRA is zero), MUX2..0 in  
ADMUX select the input pin to replace the negative input to the analog comparator, as shown in Table 16-1. If ACME is  
cleared or ADEN is set, AIN1 is applied to the negative input to the analog comparator.

• 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  
negative input to the analog comparator. When this bit is written logic zero, AIN1 is applied to the negative input of the  
analog comparator. For a detailed description of this bit, see

• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable  
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the analog comparator is switched off. This bit can be set at any time to turn  
off the analog comparator. This will reduce power consumption in active and idle mode. When changing the ACD bit, the  
analog comparator interrupt must be disabled by clearing the ACIE bit in ACSR. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the  
bit is changed.  
• Bit 6 – ACBG: Analog Comparator Bandgap Select  
When this bit is set, a fixed internal bandgap reference voltage replaces the positive input to the analog comparator. When  
this bit is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the positive input of the analog comparator. See  
Section 8.3 “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 40  
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output  
The output of the analog comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to ACO. The synchronization introduces a  
delay of 1 – 2 clock cycles.  
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set by hardware when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode defined by ACIS1 and ACIS0. The  
analog comparator interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE bit is set and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware  
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.  
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable  
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the status register is set, the analog comparator interrupt is activated.  
When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.  
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable  
When written logic one, this bit enables the input capture function in Timer/Counter1 to be triggered by the analog  
comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly connected to the input capture front-end logic, making the  
comparator utilize the noise canceler and edge select features of the Timer/Counter1 input capture interrupt. When written  
logic zero, no connection between the analog comparator and the input capture function exists. To make the comparator  
trigger the Timer/Counter1 input capture interrupt, the ICIE1 bit in the timer interrupt mask register (TIMSK1) must be set.

• Bit 7..2 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• Bit 1, 0 – AIN1D, AIN0D: AIN1, AIN0 Digital Input Disable  
When this bit is written logic one, the digital input buffer on the AIN1/0 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 AIN1/0 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.

17.2 Overview  
Atmel® ATtiny88 features a 10-bit, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC is wired to a  
nine-channel analog multiplexer, which allows the ADC to measure the voltage at six (or eight, in 32-lead packages) single-  
ended input pins and from one internal, single-ended voltage channel coming from the internal temperature sensor. Single-  
ended voltage inputs are referred to 0V (GND).  
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 17-1 on page 146.  
There is a separate analog supply voltage pin for the ADC, AVCC. Analog supply voltage is connected to the ADC via a  
passive switch. The voltage difference between supply voltage pins VCC and AVCC may not exceed. See section  
Section 17.7 “ADC Noise Canceler” on page 151 on how to connect the analog suplly voltage pin.  
Internal reference voltage of nominally 1.1V is provided on-chip. Alternatively, VCC can be used as reference voltage.

17.3 Operation  
In order to be able to use the ADC the power reduction bit, PRADC, in the power reduction register must be disabled. This is  
done by clearing the PRADC bit. See Section 7.4.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 36 for more details.  
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approximation. The minimum value  
represents GND and the maximum value represents the reference voltage. The ADC voltage reference may be selected by  
writing the REFS0 bit in the ADMUX register. Alternatives are the VCC supply pin and the internal 1.1V voltage reference.  
146  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
The analog input channel is selected by writing to the MUX bits in ADMUX. Any of the ADC input pins, as well as GND and a  
fixed bandgap voltage reference, can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC.  
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA. Voltage reference and input channel selections will  
not go into effect until ADEN is set. The ADC does not consume power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to  
switch off the ADC before entering power saving sleep modes.  
The ADC generates a 10-bit result which is presented in the ADC data registers, ADCH and ADCL. By default, the result is  
presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADMUX.  
If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read ADCH, only. 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 interrupt will trigger even if the result is lost.  
17.4 Starting a Conversion  
Make sure the ADC is powered by clearing the ADC power reduction bit, PRADC, in the power reduction register, PRR (see  
Section 7.4.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 36). A single conversion is started by writing a logical one to the  
ADC start conversion bit, ADSC. This bit stays high as long as the conversion is in progress and will be cleared by hardware  
when the conversion is completed. If a different data channel is selected while a conversion is in progress, the ADC will  
finish the current conversion before performing the channel change.  
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered automatically by various sources. Auto triggering is enabled by setting the ADC  
auto trigger enable bit, ADATE in ADCSRA. The trigger source is selected by setting the ADC trigger select bits, ADTS in  
ADCSRB (See description of the ADTS bits for a list of the trigger sources). When a positive edge occurs on the selected  
trigger signal, the ADC prescaler is reset and a conversion is started. This provides a method of starting conversions at fixed  
intervals. If the trigger signal 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 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.

ADSC  
Using the ADC interrupt flag as a trigger source makes the ADC start a new conversion as soon as the ongoing conversion  
has finished. The ADC then operates in free running mode, constantly sampling and updating the ADC data register. The  
first conversion must be started by writing a logical one to the ADSC bit in ADCSRA. In this mode the ADC will perform  
successive conversions independently of whether the ADC interrupt flag, ADIF is cleared or not.  
If Auto triggering is enabled, single conversions can be started by writing ADSC in ADCSRA to one. ADSC can also be used  
to determine if a conversion is in progress. The ADSC bit will be read as one during a conversion, independently of how the  
conversion was started.

17.5 Prescaling and Conversion Timing  
The successive approximation circuitry requires an input clock frequency between 50kHz and 200kHz to get maximum  
resolution.

ADC Clock Source  
The ADC module contains a prescaler, as illustrated in Figure 17-3, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency  
from any CPU frequency above 100kHz. The prescaling is set by the ADPS bits in ADCSRA. The prescaler starts counting  
from the moment the ADC is switched on by setting the ADEN bit in ADCSRA. The prescaler keeps running for as long as  
the ADEN bit is set, and is continuously reset when ADEN is low.  
When initiating a single ended conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSRA, the conversion starts at the following rising  
edge of the ADC clock cycle.  
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is switched on (ADEN in ADCSRA is set)  
takes 25 ADC clock cycles in order to initialize the analog circuitry, as shown in Figure 17-4 below.

The actual sample-and-hold takes place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of a normal conversion and 13.5 ADC clock  
cycles after the start of an first conversion. When a conversion is complete, the result is written to the ADC data registers,  
and ADIF is set. In single conversion mode, ADSC is cleared simultaneously. The software may then set ADSC again, and a  
new conversion will be initiated on the first rising ADC clock edge.

When auto triggering is used, the prescaler is reset when the trigger event occurs, as shown in Figure 17-6. This assures a

cycles after the rising edge on the trigger source signal. Three additional CPU clock cycles are used for synchronization  
logic.

17.6 Changing Channel or Reference Selection  
Bits MUXn and REFS0 in the ADMUX register are single buffered through a temporary register to which the CPU has  
random access. This ensures that the channels and reference selection only takes place at a safe point during the  
conversion. The channel and reference selection is continuously updated until a conversion is started. Once the conversion  
starts, the channel and reference selection is locked to ensure a sufficient sampling time for the ADC. Continuous updating  
resumes in the last ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (ADIF in ADCSRA is set). Note that the conversion  
starts on the following rising ADC clock edge after ADSC is written. The user is thus advised not to write new channel or  
reference selection values to ADMUX until one ADC clock cycle after ADSC is written.  
If auto triggering is used, the exact time of the triggering event can be indeterministic. Special care must be taken when  
updating the ADMUX register, in order to control which conversion will be affected by the new settings.  
If both ADATE and ADEN is written to one, an interrupt event can occur at any time. If the ADMUX register is changed in this  
period, the user cannot tell if the next conversion is based on the old or the new settings. ADMUX can be safely updated in  
the following ways:  
When ADATE or ADEN is cleared.  
During conversion, minimum one ADC clock cycle after the trigger event.  
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.  
150  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
17.6.1 ADC Input Channels  
When changing channel selections, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure that the correct channel is  
selected:  
In single conversion mode, always select the channel before starting the conversion. The channel selection may be changed  
one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest method is to wait for the conversion to complete  
before changing the channel selection.  
In free running mode, always select the channel before starting the first conversion. The channel selection may be changed  
one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest method is to wait for the first conversion to complete,  
and then change the channel selection. Since the next conversion has already started automatically, the next result will  
reflect the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new channel selection.  
17.6.2 ADC Voltage Reference  
The ADC reference voltage (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, or internal 1.1V reference. The internal 1.1V reference  
is generated from the internal bandgap reference (VBG) through an internal amplifier.  
The first ADC conversion result after switching reference voltage source may be inaccurate, and the user is advised to  
discard this result.  
17.7 ADC Noise Canceler  
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during sleep mode. This reduces noise induced from the CPU  
core and other I/O peripherals. The noise canceler can be used with ADC noise reduction and idle mode. To make use of  
this feature, the following procedure should be used:  
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.  
Enter ADC noise reduction mode (or Idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion once the CPU has been halted.  
If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC interrupt will wake up the CPU and  
execute the ADC conversion complete interrupt routine. If another interrupt wakes up the CPU before the ADC  
conversion is complete, that interrupt will be executed, and an ADC conversion complete interrupt request will be  
generated when the ADC conversion completes. The CPU will remain in active mode until a new sleep command is  
executed.  
Note that the ADC will not automatically be 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.  
17.8 Analog Input Circuitry  
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated in Figure 17-8 on page 152 An analog source applied to  
ADCn is subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin, regardless of whether that channel is selected as  
input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series resistance  
(combined resistance in the input path).  
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10kor 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, which can vary widely.  
With slowly varying signals the user is recommended to use sources with low impedance, only, since this minimizes the  
required charge transfer to the S/H capacitor.  
In order to avoid distortion from unpredictable signal convolution, signal components higher than the nyquist frequency  
(fADC/2) should not be present. The user is advised to remove high frequency components with a low-pass filter before  
applying the signals as inputs to the ADC.

17.9 Analog Noise Canceling Techniques  
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of analog measurements.  
When conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by applying the following techniques:  
Keep analog signal paths as short as possible.  
Make sure analog tracks run over the analog ground plane.  
Keep analog tracks well away from high-speed switching digital tracks.  
If any port pin is used as a digital output, it mustn’t switch while a conversion is in progress.  
The analog supply voltage pin (AVCC) should be connected to the digital supply voltage pin (VCC) via an LC network as  
shown in Figure 17-9.

Where high ADC accuracy is required it is recommended to use ADC noise reduction mode, as described in  
Section 17.7 “ADC Noise Canceler” on page 151. This is especially the case when system clock frequency is above 1MHz,  
or when the ADC is used for reading the internal temperature sensor, as described in  
Section 17.12 “Temperature Measurement” on page 155. A good system design with properly placed, external bypass  
capacitors does reduce the need for using ADC noise reduction mode  
17.10 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 0.5 LSB). Ideal value:  
0 LSB.

where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see Table 17-3 on page 156 and  
Table 17-4 on page 156). 0x000 represents analog ground, and 0x3FF represents the selected reference voltage minus one  
LSB.  
17.12 Temperature Measurement  
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor that is coupled to a single-ended ADC8 channel.  
Selecting the ADC8 channel by writing the MUX3..0 bits in ADMUX register to “1000” 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 temperature sensor.  
The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature as described in Table 17-2 The sensitivity is  
approximately 1 LSB / C and the accuracy depends on the method of user calibration. Typically, the measurement accuracy  
after a single temperature calibration is ±10C, assuming calibration at room temperature. Better accuracies are achieved by  
using two temperature points for calibration.

The values described in Table 17-2 are typical values. However, due to process variation the temperature sensor output  
voltage varies from one chip to another. To be capable of achieving more accurate results the temperature measurement  
can be calibrated in the application software. The sofware calibration can be done using the formula:  
T = k * [(ADCH << 8) | ADCL] + TOS  
where ADCH and ADCL are the ADC data registers, k is the fixed slope coefficient and TOS is the temperature sensor offset.  
Typically, k is very close to 1.0 and in single-point calibration the coefficient may be omitted. Where higher accuracy is  
required the slope coefficient should be evaluated based on measurements at two temperatures.

Bit 5 – ADLAR: ADC Left Adjust Result  
The ADLAR bit affects the presentation of the ADC conversion result in the ADC data register. 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

• Bits 3:0 – MUX3:0: Analog Channel Selection Bits  
The value of these bits selects which analog inputs are connected to the ADC. Selecting the single-ended channel ADC8  
enables the temperature measurement. See Table 17-4 for details. If these bits are changed during a conversion, the change  
will not go in effect until this conversion is complete (ADIF in ADCSRA 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 complete, it returns to zero. Writing  
zero to this bit has no effect.  
• Bit 5 – ADATE: ADC Auto Trigger Enable  
When this bit is written to one, auto triggering of the ADC is enabled. The ADC will start a conversion on a positive edge of  
the selected trigger signal. The trigger source is selected by setting the ADC trigger select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB.  
• Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set when an ADC conversion completes and the data registers are updated. The ADC conversion complete  
interrupt is executed if the ADIE bit and the I-bit in SREG are set. ADIF is cleared by hardware when executing the  
corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ADIF is cleared by writing a logical one to the flag. Beware that if  
doing a read-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.

• ADC9:0: ADC Conversion Result  
These bits represent the result from the conversion, as detailed in Section 17.11 “ADC Conversion Result” on page 155.  
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.

These bits are reserved for future use. To ensure compatibility with future devices, these bits must be written to zero when

• Bit 2:0 – ADTS2:0: ADC Auto Trigger Source  
If ADATE in ADCSRA is written to one, the value of these bits selects which source will trigger an ADC conversion. If ADATE  
is cleared, the ADTS2:0 settings will have no effect. A conversion will be triggered by the rising edge of the selected interrupt  
flag. Note that switching from a trigger source that is cleared to a trigger source that is set, will generate a positive edge on  
the trigger signal. If ADEN in ADCSRA is set, this will start a conversion. Switching to free running mode (ADTS[2:0]=0) will  
not cause a trigger event, even if the ADC interrupt flag is set.

18. debugWIRE On-chip Debug System  
18.1 Features  
Complete program flow control  
Emulates all on-chip functions, both digital and analog, except RESET pin  
Real-time operation  
Symbolic debugging support (both at C and assembler source level, or for other HLLs)  
Unlimited number of program break points (using software break points)  
Non-intrusive operation  
Electrical characteristics identical to real device  
Automatic configuration system  
High-speed operation  
Programming of non-volatile memories  
18.2 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.  
18.3 Physical Interface  
When the debugWIRE enable (DWEN) fuse is programmed and lock bits are unprogrammed, 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 18-1. The debugWIRE Setup  
1.8 to 5.5V  
VCC  
dw  
dw (RESET)  
GND  
Figure 18-1 shows the schematic of a target MCU, with debugWIRE enabled, and the emulator 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:  
Pull-up resistors on the dW/(RESET) line must not be smaller than 10k. 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.  
160  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
18.4 Software Break Points  
debugWIRE supports program memory break points by the AVR® break instruction. Setting a break point in 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 program 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 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.  
18.5 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 (AVR  
Studio).  
The debugWIRE interface is asynchronous, which means that the debugger needs to synchro-nize to the system clock. If the  
system clock is changed by software (e.g. by writing CLKPS bits) communication via debugWIRE may fail. Also, clock  
frequencies below 100kHz may cause communication problems.  
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.

19. Self-Programming the Flash  
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 and associated protocol to read code and write (program) that code  
into the program memory. The SPM instruction is disabled by default but it can be enabled by programming the  
SELFPRGEN fuse (to “0”).  
The program memory is updated in a page by page fashion. Before programming a page with the data stored in the  
temporary page buffer, the page must be erased. The temporary page buffer is filled one word at a time using SPM and the  
buffer can be filled either before the page erase command or between a page erase and a page write operation:  
Alternative 1, fill the buffer before a page erase:  
Fill temporary page buffer  
Perform a page erase  
Perform a page write  
Alternative 2, fill the buffer after page erase:  
Perform a page erase  
Fill temporary page buffer  
Perform a page write  
If only a part of the page needs to be changed, the rest of the page must be stored (for example in the temporary page  
buffer) before the erase, and then be re-written. Alternative 1 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.  
19.1 Performing Page Erase by SPM  
To execute page erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000011” 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.  
19.2 Filling the Temporary Buffer (Page Loading)  
To write an instruction word, set up the address in the Z-pointer and data in R1:R0, write “00000001” to SPMCSR and  
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The content of PCWORD in the Z-register is used to address  
the data in the temporary buffer. The temporary buffer will auto-erase after a page write operation or by writing the 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.  
19.3 Performing a Page Write  
To execute page write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000101” 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.

Since the flash is organized in pages (see Table 20-7 on page 170), 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 19-1. 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.

19.4.1 EEPROM Write Prevents Writing to SPMCSR  
Note that an EEPROM write operation will block all software programming to flash. Reading the fuses and lock bits from  
software will also be prevented during the EEPROM write operation. It is recommended that the user checks the status bit  
(EEPE) in the EECR register and verifies that the bit is cleared before writing to the SPMCSR register.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

19.4.2 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 SELFPRGEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the RFLB  
and SELFPRGEN bits are set in SPMCSR, the value of the lock bits will be loaded in the destination register. The RFLB and  
SELFPRGEN 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 SELFPRGEN 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 SELFPRGEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is  
executed within three cycles after the RFLB and SELFPRGEN 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 20-5 on page 169 for a detailed description and

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 SELFPRGEN 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 20-4 on page 169 for detailed description and mapping of the fuse high

the destination register as shown below. See Table 20-3 on page 168 for detailed description and mapping of the fuse

Fuse and lock bits that are programmed, will be read as zero. Fuse and lock bits that are unprogrammed, will be read as  
one.  
19.4.3 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 AVR® RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by  
enabling the internal brown-out detector (BOD) if the operating voltage matches the detection level. If not, an  
external low VCC reset protection circuit can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in progress, the  
write operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.  
2. Keep the AVR core in power-down sleep mode during periods of low VCC. This will prevent the CPU from  
attempting to decode and execute instructions, effectively protecting the SPMCSR register and thus the flash from  
unintentional writes.

19.4.5 Simple Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader  
Note that the RWWSB bit will always be read as zero in Atmel® ATtiny88. Nevertheless, to ensure compatibility with devices  
supporting read-while-write it is recommended to check this bit as shown in the code example.  
;-the routine writes one page of data from RAM to Flash  
; the first data location in RAM is pointed to by the Y pointer  
; the first data location in Flash is pointed to by the Z-pointer  
;-error handling is not included  
;-the routine must be placed inside the Boot space  
; (at least the Do_spm sub routine). Only code inside NRWW section can  
; be read during Self-Programming (Page Erase and Page Write).  
;-registers used: r0, r1, temp1 (r16), temp2 (r17), looplo (r24),  
; loophi (r25), spmcrval (r20)  
; storing and restoring of registers is not included in the routine  
; register usage can be optimized at the expense of code size  
;-It is assumed that either the interrupt table is moved to the Boot  
; loader section or that the interrupts are disabled.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit  
These bits are reserved and will always read 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® ATtiny88.  
• Bit 5 – Res: Reserved Bit  
These bits are reserved and will always read zero.  
• 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 SELFPRGEN are set in the SPMCSR register, will read either the lock  
bits or the fuse bits (depending on Z0 in the Z-pointer) into the destination register. See  
Section 19.4.2 “Reading the Fuse and Lock Bits from Software” on page 164 for details.  
• Bit 2 – PGWRT: Page Write  
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SELFPRGEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock cycles executes page  
write, with the data stored in the temporary buffer. The page address is taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The data in  
R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGWRT bit will auto-clear upon completion of a page write, or if no SPM instruction is executed  
within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire page write operation.  
• Bit 1 – PGERS: Page Erase  
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SELFPRGEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock cycles executes page  
Erase. The page address is taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The data in R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGERS bit will  
auto-clear upon completion of a page erase, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted  
during the entire page write operation.  
• Bit 0 – SELFPRGEN: Self Programming Enable  
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one together with either CTPB, RFLB,  
PGWRT, or PGERS, the following SPM instruction will have a special meaning, see description above. If only SELFPRGEN  
is written, the following SPM instruction will store the value in R1:R0 in the temporary page buffer addressed by the  
Z-pointer. The LSB of the Z-pointer is ignored. The SELFPRGEN 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 SELFPRGEN bit remains  
high until the operation is completed.  
Writing any other combination than “10001”, “01001”, “00101”, “00011” or “00001” in the lower five bits will have no effect.

20. Memory Programming  
20.1 Program And Data Memory Lock Bits  
The Atmel® ATtiny88 provides two lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the  
additional features listed in Table 20-2. The lock bits can only be erased to “1” with the chip erase command. The Atmel  
ATtiny88 has no separate boot loader section. The SPM instruction is enabled for the whole flash if the SELFPRGEN fuse is  
programmed (“0”), otherwise it is disabled.

4. See Section 6.7 “System Clock Prescaler” on page 29 for details.  
The status of the fuse bits is not affected by chip erase. Note that the fuse bits are locked if Lock bit1 (LB1) is programmed.  
program the fuse bits before programming the lock bits.  
20.2.1 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.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]

9157E–AVR–07/14  
20.3 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. For the Atmel  
ATtiny88 the signature bytes are given in Table 20-6.

20.4 Calibration Byte  
The Atmel ATtiny88 has a byte calibration value for the internal oscillator. This byte resides in the high byte of address 0x000  
in the signature address space. During reset, this byte is automatically written into the OSCCAL register to ensure correct  
frequency of the calibrated oscillator.

20.7 Parallel Programming  
20.7.1 Enter Programming Mode  
The following algorithm puts the device in parallel (high-voltage) programming mode:  
1. Set prog_enable pins listed in Table 20-10 on page 171 to “0000”, RESET pin to 0V and VCC to 0V.  
2. Apply 4.5 – 5.5V between VCC and GND.  
Ensure that VCC reaches at least 2.7V within the next 20µs.  
3. Wait 20 – 60µs, and apply 11.5 – 12.5V to RESET.  
4. Keep the prog_enable pins unchanged for at least 10µs after the high-voltage has been applied to ensure the  
prog_enable signature has been latched.  
5. Wait at least 300µs before giving any parallel programming commands.  
6. Exit programming mode by power the device down or by bringing RESET pin to 0V.  
If the rise time of the VCC is unable to fulfill the requirements listed above, the following alternative algorithm can be used.  
1. Set prog_enable pins listed in Table 20-10 on page 171 to “0000”, RESET pin to 0V and VCC to 0V.  
2. Apply 4.5 – 5.5V between VCC and GND.  
3. Monitor VCC, and as soon as VCC reaches 0.9 – 1.1V, apply 11.5 – 12.5V to RESET.  
4. Keep the prog_enable pins unchanged for at least 10µs after the high-voltage has been applied to ensure the  
prog_enable signature has been latched.  
5. Wait until VCC actually reaches 4.5 -5.5V before giving any parallel programming commands.  
6. Exit programming mode by power the device down or by bringing RESET pin to 0V.

ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
20.7.2 Considerations for Efficient Programming  
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For efficient programming, the following  
should be considered.  
The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory locations.  
Skip writing the data value 0xFF, that is the contents of the entire EEPROM (unless the EESAVE fuse is programmed)  
and flash after a chip erase.  
Address high byte needs only be loaded before programming or reading a new 256 word window in flash or 256 byte  
EEPROM. This consideration also applies to signature bytes reading.  
20.7.3 Chip Erase  
The chip erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM(1) memories plus lock bits. The lock bits are not reset until the program  
memory has been completely erased. The fuse bits are not changed. A chip erase must be performed before the flash  
and/or EEPROM are reprogrammed.  
Note:  
1. The EEPROM memory is preserved during chip erase if the EESAVE fuse is programmed.  
Load command “chip erase”:  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”.  
3. Set DATA to “1000 0000”. This is the command for chip erase.  
4. Give CLKI 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.  
20.7.4 Programming the Flash  
The flash is organized in pages, see Table 20-7 on page 170. 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 “10”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”.  
3. Set DATA to “0001 0000”. This is the command for Write Flash.  
4. Give CLKI 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 CLKI a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.  
C. Load data low byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.  
2. Set DATA = data low byte (0x00 – 0xFF).  
3. Give CLKI 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 “01”. This enables data loading.  
3. Set DATA = data high byte (0x00 – 0xFF).  
4. Give CLKI a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
ATtiny88 Automotive [DATASHEET]  
173  
9157E–AVR–07/14  
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 20-3 on page 175 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 20-2 on page 174. Note that if less than eight bits are required to address words in the  
page ( page size < 256), the most significant bit(s) in the address low byte are used to address the page when performing a  
page write.  
G. Load address high byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high address.  
3. Set DATA = address high byte (0x00 – 0xFF).  
4. Give CLKI 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 20-3 on page 175 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 “10”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set DATA to “0000 0000”. This is the command for No operation.  
3. Give CLKI a positive pulse. This loads the command, and the internal write signals are reset.

20.7.5 Programming the EEPROM  
The EEPROM is organized in pages, see Table 20-8 on page 170. When programming the EEPROM, the program data is  
latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of data to be programmed simultaneously. The programming algorithm for  
the EEPROM data memory is as follows (refer to Section 20.7.4 “Programming the Flash” on page 173 for details on  
command, address and data loading):  
1. A: Load Command “0001 0001”.  
2. G: Load address high byte (0x00 – 0xFF).  
3. B: Load address low byte (0x00 – 0xFF).  
4. C: Load data (0x00 – 0xFF).  
5. E: Latch data (give PAGEL a positive pulse).  
K: Repeat 3 through 5 until the entire buffer is filled.  
L: Program EEPROM page  
1. Set BS1 to “0”.  
2. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the EEPROM page. RDY/BSY goes low.  
3. Wait until to RDY/BSY goes high before programming the next page (See Figure 20-4 on page 176 for signal  
waveforms).

20.8 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 executed first before program/erase operations can be executed. NOTE, in Table 20-13, the pin  
mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

GND  
Notes: 1. If the device is clocked by the internal oscillator, it is no need to connect a clock source to the CLKI pin.  
2.  
VCC – 0.3V < AVCC < VCC + 0.3V, however, AVCC should always be within 2.7 5.5V  
When programming the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed programming 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 periods for the serial clock (SCK)  
input are defined as follows:  
Low: > 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 16MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck 16MHz  
High: > 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 16MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck 16MHz

20.8.2 Serial Programming Algorithm  
When writing serial data to the Atmel® ATtiny88, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.  
When reading data from the Atmel ATtiny88, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 21-9 on page 194 and  
Figure 21-10 on page 194 for timing details.  
To program and verify the Atmel ATtiny88 in the serial programming mode, the following sequence is recommended (see  
serial programming instruction set in Table 20-15 on page 181):  
1. Power-up sequence:  
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems, the programmer can  
not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at  
least two CPU clock cycles duration after SCK has been set to “0”.  
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable serial programming by sending the programming enable serial instruction to pin  
MOSI.  
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization. When in sync.  
the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third byte of the programming enable instruction. Whether  
the echo is correct or not, all four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 did not echo back, give  
RESET a positive pulse and issue a new programming enable command.  
4. The flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 6  
LSB of the address and data together with the load program memory page instruction. To ensure correct loading  
of the page, the data low byte must be loaded before data high byte is applied for a given address. The program  
memory page is stored by loading the write program memory page instruction with the 7 MSB of the address. If  
polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page  
(seeTable 20-14). Accessing the serial programming interface before the flash write operation completes can  
result in incorrect programming.  
5. A: The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and data together with the  
appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first automatically erased before new data is  
written. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (see  
Table 20-14). 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 6 LSB of the address and data together with the load EEPROM memory page instruction. The  
EEPROM memory page is stored by loading the write EEPROM memory page instruction with the 7 MSB of the  
address. When using EEPROM page access only byte locations loaded with the load EEPROM memory page  
instruction is altered. The remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the used must  
wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte (see Table 20-14). In a chip erased device, no 0xFF in the  
data file(s) need to be programmed.  
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the read instruction which returns the content at the selected  
address at serial output MISO.  
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal operation.  
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):  
Set RESET to “1”.  
Turn VCC power off.

The sum of all IOH, for ports A2 – A3, B0 – B7, C6, D0 – D7 should not exceed 100mA.  
The sum of all IOH, for ports A0 – A1, C0 – C5, C7 should not exceed 100mA.  
If IIOH exceeds the test condition, VOH may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to source current  
greater than the listed test condition.  
5. Measured with all I/O modules turned off (PRR = 0xFF).  
6. Measured with brown-out detection (BOD) disabled.

the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees that a Brown-out Reset

bus need only obey the general fSCL requirement.  
6. The actual low period generated by the 2-wire serial interface of ATtiny88 is (1/fSCL – 2/fCK), thus fCK must be greater  
than 6MHz for the low time requirement to be strictly met at fSCL = 100kHz.  
7. The actual low period generated by the 2-wire serial interface of ATtiny88 is (1/fSCL – 2/fCK), thus the low time require-  
ment will not be strictly met for fSCL > 308kHz when fCK = 8MHz. Still, ATtiny88 devices connected to the bus may  
communicate at full speed (400kHz) with other ATtiny88 devices, as well as any other device with a proper tLOW accep-  
tance margin.

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

Notes: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory  
addresses should never be written.  
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In  
these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.  
3. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI  
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags.  
The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.  
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 0x3F must be used. When addressing  
I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The ATtiny88 is a  
complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location reserved in Opcode for  
the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 0xFF in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and  
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 0x3F must be used. When addressing  
I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The ATtiny88 is a  
complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location reserved in Opcode for  
the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 0xFF in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and  
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

Notes: 1. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory  
addresses should never be written.  
2. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In  
these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.  
3. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI  
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags.  
The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.  
4. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 0x3F must be used. When addressing  
I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The ATtiny88 is a  
complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location reserved in Opcode for  
the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 0xFF in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and  
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
