ATmega103(L)  
Description  
The ATmega103(L) is a low-power, CMOS, 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR  
RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the  
ATmega103(L) achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, allowing the sys-  
tem designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.  
The AVR core is based on an enhanced RISC architecture that combines a rich instruc-  
tion 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 architec-  
ture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than  
conventional CISC microcontrollers.  
The ATmega103(L) provides the following features: 128K bytes of In-System Program-  
mable Flash, 4K bytes EEPROM, 4K bytes SRAM, 32 general purpose I/O lines, 8 input  
lines, 8 output lines, 32 general purpose working registers, Real Time Counter (RTC), 4  
flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes and PWM, UART, programmable Watch-  
dog Timer with internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port and 3 software-selectable power  
saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters,  
SPI port and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the  
register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the  
next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the Timer Oscillator continues  
to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.  
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology.  
The On-chip ISP Flash allows the Program memory to be reprogrammed In-System  
through a serial interface or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By  
combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with a large array of ISP Flash on a monolithic chip, the  
Atmel ATmega103(L) is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and  
cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.  
The ATmega103(L) AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system develop-  
ment tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, In-  
Circuit Emulators and evaluation kits.

Port A (PA7..PA0)  
Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port. Port pins can provide internal pull-up resistors  
(selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers can sink 20 mA and can drive LED dis-  
plays directly. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low,  
they will source current if the internal pull-up resistors are activated.  
Port A serves as Multiplexed Address/Data bus when using external SRAM.  
The Port A pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is  
not running.  
Port B (PB7..PB0)  
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port B output  
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low, will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.  
Port B also serves the functions of various special features.  
The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is  
not running.  
Port C (PC7..PC0)  
Port D (PD7..PD0)  
Port C is an 8-bit output port. The Port C output buffers can sink 20 mA.  
Port C also serves as Address output when using external SRAM.  
Since Port C is an output only port, the Port C pins are not tri-stated when a reset condi-  
tion becomes active.  
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port D output  
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.  
Port D also serves the functions of various special features.  
The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is  
not running.  
Port E (PE7..PE0)  
Port E is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port E output  
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port E pins that are externally pulled low will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.  
Port E also serves the functions of various special features.  
The Port E pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is  
not running  
Port F (PF7..PF0)  
RESET  
Port F is an 8-bit input port. Port F also serves as the analog inputs for the ADC.  
Reset input. An external reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset  
pulses longer than 50 ns will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter  
pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.

ALE  
ALE is the Address Latch Enable used when the External Memory is enabled. The ALE  
strobe is used to latch the low-order address (8 bits) into an address latch during the first  
access cycle, and the AD0 - 7 pins are used for data during the second access cycle.  
AVCC  
Supply voltage for Port F, including ADC. The pin must be connected to VCC when not  
used for the ADC. See “ADC Noise Canceling Techniques” on page 82 for details when  
using the ADC.  
AREF  
AGND  
PEN  
AREF is the analog reference input for the ADC converter. For ADC operations, a volt-  
age in the range AGND to AVCC must be applied to this pin.  
If the board has a separate analog ground plane, this pin should be connected to this  
ground plane. Otherwise, connect to GND.  
PEN is a programming enable pin for the Serial Programming mode. By holding this pin  
low during a Power-on Reset, the device will enter the Serial Programming mode. PEN  
has no function during normal operation.  
Clock Options  
Crystal Oscillator  
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier, which  
can be configured for use as an on-chip Oscillator, as shown in Figure 2. Either a quartz  
crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.

EEPROM  
The AVR uses a Harvard architecture concept – with separate memories and buses for  
program and data. The Program memory is accessed with a single-level pipeline. 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 Programmable Flash memory. With a few exceptions,  
AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format, meaning that every Program memory  
address contains a single 16-bit instruction.  
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is  
stored on the Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM and,  
consequently, the Stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the  
SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines  
or interrupts are executed). The 16-bit Stack Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the  
I/O space.  
The 4000 bytes data SRAM can be easily accessed through the five different address-  
ing modes supported in the AVR architecture.  
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 the different interrupts have a sep-

0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
arate Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table at the beginning of the  
Program memory. The different interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt  
Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.  
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.

All the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single-cycle  
access to all registers. The only exception are the five constant arithmetic and logic  
instructions SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI and ORI between a constant and a register and the  
LDI instruction for load immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the second  
half of the registers in the Register File – R16..R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP, AND  
and OR and all other operations between two registers or on a single register apply to  
the entire Register File.  
As shown in Figure 5, 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 phys-  
ically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great  
flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y-, and Z-registers can be set to index any  
register in the file.  
The 4K bytes of SRAM available for general data are implemented as addresses $0060  
to $0FFF.

The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage.  
These registers are address pointers for indirect addressing of the SRAM. The three  
indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as:

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed dis-  
placement, automatic increment and decrement (see the descriptions for the different  
instructions).  
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, ALU operations between regis-  
ters in the Register File are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main  
categories: arithmetic, logical and bit functions.  
ISP Flash Program  
Memory  
The ATmega103(L) contains 128K bytes of On-chip In-System Programmable Flash  
memory for program storage. Since all instructions are single or double 16-bit words, the  
Flash is organized as 64K x 16. The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 1000  
write/erase cycles.  
Constant tables can be allocated in the entire Program memory space (see the LPM –  
Load Program Memory and ELPM – Extended Load Program Memory instruction  
descriptions).  
SRAM Data Memory  
The ATmega103(L) supports two different configurations for the SRAM Data memory as  
listed in Table 1.

0945I–AVR–02/07  
The 4096 first Data memory locations address both the Register File, the I/O memory  
and the internal Data SRAM. The first 96 locations address the Register File and I/O  
memory, and the next 4000 locations address the internal Data SRAM.  
An optional external Data SRAM can be used with the ATmega103(L). This SRAM will  
occupy an area in the remaining address locations in the 64K address space. This area  
starts at the address following the internal SRAM. If a 64K external SRAM is used, 4K of  
the external memory is lost as the addresses are occupied by internal memory.  
When the addresses accessing the SRAM memory space exceeds the internal Data  
memory locations, the external Data SRAM is accessed using the same instructions as  
for the internal Data memory access. When the internal Data memories are accessed,  
the read and write strobe pins (RD and WR) are inactive during the whole access cycle.  
External SRAM operation is enabled by setting the SRE bit in the MCUCR Register.  
Accessing external SRAM takes one additional clock cycle per byte compared to access  
of the internal SRAM. This means that the commands LD, ST, LDS, STS, PUSH and  
POP take one additional clock cycle. If the Stack is placed in external SRAM, interrupts,  
subroutine calls and returns take two clock cycles extra because the 2-byte Program  
Counter is pushed and popped. When external SRAM interface is used with wait state,  
two additional clock cycles are used per byte. This has the following effect: Data transfer  
instructions take two extra clock cycles, whereas interrupt, subroutine calls and returns  
will need four clock cycles more than specified in the “Instruction Set Summary” on page  
135.  
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 Indirect with Displacement mode features 63 address locations reached 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 and incremented.  
The entire Data address space including the 32 general purpose working registers and  
the 64 I/O Registers are all accessible through all these addressing modes. See the  
next section for a detailed description of the different addressing modes.  
Program and Data  
Addressing Modes  
The ATmega103(L) AVR RISC microcontroller supports powerful and efficient address-  
ing modes for access to the Program memory (Flash) and Data memory (SRAM,  
Register File and I/O memory). This section describes the different addressing modes  
supported by the AVR architecture. In the figures, OP means the operation code part of  
the instruction word. To simplify, not all figures show the exact location of the address-  
ing bits.

EEPROM Data Memory  
The EEPROM memory is organized as a separate Data space in which single bytes can  
be read and written. The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase  
cycles. The access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described on page 57 speci-  
fying the EEPROM Address Register, the EEPROM Data Register and the EEPROM  
Control Register.  
Memory Access Times  
and Instruction  
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution and  
internal memory access.  
Execution Timing  
The AVR CPU is driven by the System Clock Ø, directly generated from the external  
clock crystal for the chip. No internal clock division is used.  
Figure 20 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by  
the Harvard architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic  
pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results  
for functions per cost, functions per clocks and functions per power unit.

Note:  
Reserved and unused locations are not shown in the table.  
All the different ATmega103(L) I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. The dif-  
ferent I/O locations are directly accessed by the IN and OUT instructions transferring  
data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O Registers  
within the address range $00 - $1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI  
instructions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the  
SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the “Instruction Set Summary” on page 135 for  
more details. When using the I/O specific instructions IN and OUT, the I/O Register  
address $00 - $3F are used. When addressing I/O Registers as SRAM, $20 must be  
added to this address. All I/O Register addresses throughout this document are shown  
with the SRAM address in parentheses.  
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 “1” to them. Note that the CBI  
and SBI instructions will operate on all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into  
any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions work with reg-  
isters $00 to $1F only.  
The different I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in the following  
sections.

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable  
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set (one) 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 (zero), 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.  
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage  
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source  
and destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be cop-  
20  
ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
ied 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. See the  
instruction set description on page 135 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 Comple-  
ment Overflow Flag V. See the instruction set description on page 135 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 on page 135 for detailed information.  
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag  
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result from an arithmetical or logical operation.  
See the Instruction set description on page 135 for detailed information.  
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag  
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result from an arithmetical or logical operation. See the  
instruction set description on page 135 for detailed information.  
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag  
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetical or logical operation. See the  
instruction set description on page 135 for detailed information.  
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt rou-  
tine or restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by  
software.  
Stack Pointer – SP  
The general AVR 16-bit Stack Pointer is effectively built up of two 8-bit registers in the  
I/O space locations $3E ($5E) and $3D ($5D). As the ATmega103(L) supports up to  
64K bytes memory, all 16 bits are used.

The Stack Pointer points to the Data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Inter-  
rupt Stacks are located. This Stack space in the Data SRAM must be defined by the  
program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack  
Pointer must be set to point above $60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when  
data is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction and it is decremented by 2  
when an address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine calls and interrupts. The  
Stack Pointer is incremented by 1 when data is popped from the Stack with the POP  
21  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
instruction and it is incremented by 2 when an address is popped from the Stack with  
return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.

The RAMPZ Register is normally used to select which 64K RAM page is accessed by  
the Z pointer. As the ATmega103(L) does not support more than 64K of SRAM memory,  
this register is used only to select which page in the Program memory is accessed when  
the ELPM instruction is used. The different settings of the RAMPZ0 bit have the follow-  
ing effects:  
RAMPZ0 = 0: Program memory address $0000 - $7FFF (lower 64K bytes) is  
accessed by ELPM  
RAMPZ0 = 1: Program memory address $8000 - $FFFF (higher 64K bytes) is  
accessed by ELPM  
Note that LPM is not affected by the RAMPZ setting.

• Bit 7 – SRE: External SRAM Enable  
When the SRE bit is set (one), the external Data SRAM is enabled, and the pin functions  
AD0 - 7 (Port A), and A8 - 15 (Port C) are activated as the alternate pin functions. Then  
the SRE bit overrides any pin direction settings in the respective Data Direction Regis-  
ters. When the SRE bit is cleared (zero), the external Data SRAM is disabled and the  
normal pin and data direction settings are used.  
• Bit 6 – SRW: External SRAM Wait State  
When the SRW bit is set (one), a one-cycle wait state is inserted in the external Data  
SRAM access cycle. When the SRW bit is cleared (zero), the external Data SRAM  
access is executed with a three-cycle scheme. See Figure 51 on page 85 and Figure 52  
on page 85.  
• Bit 5 – SE: Sleep Enable  
The SE bit must be set (one) to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP  
instruction is executed. To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the pro-  
grammer’s purpose, it is recommended to set the Sleep Enable (SE) bit just before the  
execution of the SLEEP instruction.

XTAL Divide Control Register The XTAL Divide Control Register is used to divide the XTAL clock frequency by a num-  
– XDIV  
ber in the range 1 - 129. This feature can be used to decrease power consumption when  
the requirement for processing power is low.

• Bit 7 – XDIVEN: XTAL Divide Enable  
When the XDIVEN bit is set (one), the clock frequency of the CPU and all peripherals is  
divided by the factor defined by the setting of XDIV6 - XDIV0. This bit can be set and  
cleared run-time to vary the clock frequency as suitable to the application.  
• Bits 6..0 – XDIV6..XDIV0: XTAL Divide Select Bits 6 - 0  
These bits define the division factor that applies when the XDIVEN bit is set (one). If the  
value of these bits is denoted d, the following formula defines the resulting CPU clock  
frequency fclk:  
XTAL  
129 d  
f
= ------------------  
CLK  
The value of these bits can only be changed when XDIVEN is zero. When XDIVEN is  
set to one, the value written simultaneously into XDIV6..XDIV0 is taken as the division  
factor. When XDIVEN is cleared to zero, the value written simultaneously into  
XDIV6..XDIV0 is rejected. As the divider divides the Master Clock Input to the MCU, the  
speed of all peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used.  
Reset and Interrupt  
Handling  
The ATmega103(L) provides 23 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 that must be set (one) together  
with the I-bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.  
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are automatically defined as the  
Reset and Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in Table 4. The list  
also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address, the  
23  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
higher the priority level. RESET has the highest priority and next is INT0 (the External  
Interrupt Request 0), etc.

Reset Sources  
The ATmega103(L) has three sources of reset:  
Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on  
Reset threshold (VPOT).  
External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for  
more than 50 ns.  
Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and  
the Watchdog is enabled.  
During reset, all I/O Registers except the MCU Status Register are then set to their initial  
values and the program starts execution from address $0000. The instruction placed in  
address $0000 must be a JMP (absolute 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 23  
shows the reset logic. Table 5 defines the timing and electrical parameters of the reset  
circuitry.

Power-on Reset  
A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is Reset from Power-on. As  
shown in Figure 23, an internal timer clocked from the Watchdog Timer Oscillator pre-  
vents the MCU from starting until after a certain period after VCC has reached the Power-  
on Threshold voltage (VPOT), regardless of the VCC rise time (see Figure 24). The Fuse  
bits SUT1 and SUT0 are used to select start-up time as indicated in Table 5. A “0” in the  
table indicates that the fuse is programmed.  
The user can select the start-up time according to typical Oscillator start-up time. The  
number of WDT Oscillator cycles used for each Time-out except for SUT = 00 is shown  
in Table 6. The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage-dependent as shown in  
“Typical Characteristics” on page 123.

The setting SUT 1/0 = 00 starts the MCU after 5 CPU clock cycles, and can be used  
when an external clock signal is applied to the XTAL1 pin. This setting does not use the  
WDT Oscillator and enables very fast start-up from the sleep modes Power-down or  
Power-save if the clock signal is present during sleep. For details, refer to the program-  
ming specification starting on page 104.  
If the built-in start-up delay is sufficient, RESET can be connected to VCC directly or via  
an external pull-up resistor. By holding the pin low for a period after VCC has been  
applied, the Power-on Reset period can be extended. Refer to Figure 25 for a timing  
example of this.

An external reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer

These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega103(L) and always read as zero.  
• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag  
After a Power-on Reset, this bit is undefined (X). It will be set by an external reset. A

Interrupt Handling  
The ATmega103(L) has two dedicated 8-bit Interrupt Mask Control Registers; EIMSK  
(External Interrupt Mask Register) and TIMSK (Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register).  
In addition, other enable and mask bits can be found in the peripheral control registers.  
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared (zero) and all inter-  
rupts are disabled. The user software can set (one) the I-bit to enable nested interrupts.  
The I-bit is set (one) when a Return from Interrupt instruction (RETI) is executed.  
When the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute  
the interrupt handling routine, hardware clears the corresponding flag that generated the  
interrupt. Some of the Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logical “1” to the  
flag bit position(s) to be cleared.  
If an interrupt condition occurs when the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared  
(zero), the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled or the  
flag is cleared by software.  
If one or more interrupt conditions occur when the Global Interrupt Enable bit is cleared  
(zero), the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global  
Interrupt Enable bit is set (one), and will be executed by order of priority.  
Note that external level interrupt does not have a flag and will only be remembered for  
as long as the interrupt condition is active.  
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt rou-  
tine or restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by  
software.

• Bits 7..4 – INT7 - INT4: External Interrupt Request 7 - 4 Enable  
When an INT7 - INT4 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set  
(one), the corresponding external pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control  
bits in the External Interrupt Control Register (EICR) define whether the external inter-  
rupt is activated on rising or falling edge or is level-sensed. Activity on any of these pins  
will trigger an interrupt request even if the pin is enabled as an output. This provides a  
way of generating a software interrupt.

When an INT3 - INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set  
(one), the corresponding external pin interrupt is enabled. The external interrupts are  
always low-level triggered interrupts. Activity on any of these pins will trigger an interrupt  
request even if the pin is enabled as an output. This provides a way of generating a soft-  
ware interrupt. When enabled, a level-triggered interrupt will generate an interrupt  
request as long as the pin is held low.

• Bits 7..4 – INTF7 - INTF4: External Interrupt 7 - 4 Flags  
When an edge on the INT7 - INT4 pins triggers an interrupt request, the corresponding  
Interrupt Flag, INTF7 - INTF4, becomes set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the corre-  
sponding interrupt enable bit, INT7 - INT4 in EIMSK, is set (one), the MCU will jump to  
the Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the corresponding interrupt routine is exe-  
cuted. Alternatively, the flag is cleared by writing a logical “1” to it. These flags are  
always cleared when INTF7 - INFT4 are configured as level interrupts.

The low level of INTX generates an interrupt request.  
Reserved  
The falling edge of INTX generates an interrupt request.  
The rising edge of INTX generates an interrupt request.  
The value on the INTX pin is sampled before detecting edges. If edge interrupt is  
selected, pulses that last longer than one CPU clock period will generate an interrupt.  
Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. Observe that CPU clock fre-  
quency can be lower than the XTAL frequency if the XTAL divider is enabled. If low-level  
interrupt is selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently exe-

(Timer/Counter0 Overflow Interrupt Enable) and TOV0 are set (one), the  
Timer/Counter0 Overflow interrupt is executed. In PWM mode, this bit is set when  
Timer/Counter0 advances from $00.  
Interrupt Response Time  
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles  
minimum. Four clock cycles after the Interrupt Flag has been set, the Program Vector  
address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four-clock-cycle  
period, the Program Counter (2 bytes) is pushed onto the Stack, and the Stack Pointer  
is decremented by 2. 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.  
A return from an interrupt handling routine (same as for a subroutine call routine) takes  
four clock cycles. During these four clock cycles, the Program Counter (2 bytes) is  
popped back from the Stack, and the Stack Pointer is incremented by 2. 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.  
Sleep Modes  
To enter any of the three sleep modes, the SE bit in MCUCR must be set (one) and a  
SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM1 and SM0 bits in the MCUCR Register  
select which sleep mode (Idle, Power-down, or Power-save) will be activated by the  
SLEEP instruction, see Table 3 on page 23.  
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU awakes, exe-  
cutes the interrupt routine and resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP.  
The contents of the Register File, SRAM, and I/O memory are unaltered. If a reset  
occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.  
Idle Mode  
When the SM1/SM0 bits are set to 00, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter the  
Idle mode, stopping the CPU but allowing SPI, UART, Analog Comparator, ADC,  
Timer/Counters, Watchdog and the interrupt system to continue operating. This enables  
the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the  
Timer Overflow and UART Receive Complete 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. When the MCU wakes up from Idle mode,  
the CPU starts program execution immediately.  
36  
ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
Power-down Mode  
When the SM1/SM0 bits are set to 10, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter the  
Power-down mode. In this mode, the external Oscillator is stopped while the external  
interrupts and the Watchdog (if enabled) continue operating. Only an External Reset, a  
Watchdog Reset (if enabled), or an external level interrupt can wake up the MCU.  
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. This makes the MCU  
less sensitive to noise. The changed level is sampled twice by the Watchdog Oscillator  
clock and if the input has the required level during this time, the MCU will wake up. The  
period of the Watchdog Oscillator is 1 µs (nominal) at 5.0V and 25°C. The frequency of  
the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage-dependent, as shown in “Typical Characteristics” on  
page 123.  
When waking up from Power-down mode, 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 SUT fuses that  
define the Reset Time-out period. The wake-up period is equal to the clock reset period,  
as shown in Table 5 on page 27.  
If the wake-up condition disappears before the MCU wakes up and starts to execute,  
e.g., a low-level on is not held long enough, the interrupt causing the wake-up will not be  
executed.  
Power-save Mode  
When the SM1/SM0 bits are 11, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter the  
Power-save mode. This mode is identical to Power-down, with one exception:  
If Timer/Counter0 is clocked asynchronously, i.e., the AS0 bit in ASSR is set,  
Timer/Counter0 will run during sleep. In addition to the Power-down wake-up sources,  
the device can also wake up from either Timer Overflow or Output Compare event from  
Timer/Counter0 if the corresponding Timer/Counter0 interrupt enable bits are set in  
TIMSK. To ensure that the part executes the interrupt routine when waking up, also set  
the Global Interrupt Enable bit i SREG.  
When waking up from Power-save mode by an external interrupt, two instruction cycles  
are executed before the Interrupt Flags are updated. When waking up by the asynchro-  
nous timer, three instruction cycles are executed before the flags are updated. During  
these cycles, the processor executes instructions, but the interrupt condition is not read-  
able and the interrupt routine has not started yet. If the asynchronous timer is not  
clocked asynchronously, Power-down mode is recommended instead of Power-save  
mode because the contents of the registers in the asynchronous timer should be consid-  
ered undefined after wake-up in Power-save mode if AS0 is 0.

0945I–AVR–02/07  
Timer/Counters  
The ATmega103(L) provides three general purpose Timer/Counters – two 8-bit T/Cs  
and one 16-bit T/C. Timer/Counter0 optionally can be asynchronously clocked from an  
external Oscillator. This Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz crystal,  
enabling use of Timer/Counter0 as a Real Time Clock (RTC). Timer/Counter0 has its  
own prescaler. Timer/Counters 1 and 2 have individual prescaling selection from the  
same 10-bit prescaling timer. These Timer/Counters can either be used as a Timer with  
an internal clock time base or as a counter with an external pin connection that triggers  
the counting.

The clock source for Timer/Counter0 prescaler is named PCK0. PCK0 is by default con-  
nected to the main system clock CK. Observe that CPU clock frequency can be lower  
than the XTAL frequency if the XTAL divider is enabled. By setting the AS0 bit in ASSR,  
Timer/Counter0 prescaler is asynchronously clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables  
use of Timer/Counter0 as a Real Time Clock (RTC). A crystal can be connected

Timer/Counter0. This Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz crystal.

The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 can select clock source from PCK0 or prescaled PCK0. The 8-  
bit Timer/Counter2 can select clock source from CK, prescaled CK or an external pin.  
Both Timer/Counters can be stopped as described in the specification for the  
Timer/Counter Control Registers – TCCR0 and TCCR2.  
The different Status Flags (Overflow, Compare Match and Capture Event) are found in  
the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). Control signals are found in the  
Timer/Counter Control Registers – TCCR0 and TCCR2. The interrupt enable/disable  
settings are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK).  
When Timer/Counter2 is externally clocked, the external signal is synchronized with the  
Oscillator frequency of the CPU. To assure proper sampling of the external clock, the  
minimum time between two external clock transitions must be at least one internal CPU  
clock period. The external clock signal is sampled on the rising edge of the internal CPU  
clock.  
The 8-bit Timer/Counters feature a high-resolution and a high-accuracy usage with the  
lower prescaling opportunities. Similarly, the high prescaling opportunities make these  
units useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions with infrequent actions.  
Both Timer/Counters support two Output Compare functions using the Output Compare  
Registers (OCR0 and OCR2) as the data source to be compared to the Timer/Counter  
contents. The Output Compare functions include optional clearing of the counter on  
compare match and action on the Output Compare pins – PB4(OC0/PWM0) and  
PB7(OC2/PWM2) – on compare match.  
Timer/Counters 0 and 2 can also be used as 8-bit Pulse Width Modulators. In this mode  
the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare Register serve as a glitch-free, stand-alone  
PWM with centered pulses. Refer to page 43 for a detailed description of this function.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATmega103(L) and always reads as zero.  
• Bit 6 – PWM0/PWM2: Pulse Width Modulator Enable  
When set (one), this bit enables PWM mode for Timer/Counter0 or Timer/Counter2.  
This mode is described on page 43.  
• Bits 5, 4 – COM01, COM00/COM21, COM20: Compare Output Mode, Bits 1 and 0  
The COMn1 and COMn0 control bits determine any output pin action following a com-  
pare match in Timer/Counter2. Any output pin actions affect pins PB4 (OC0/PWM0) or  
PB7 (OC2/PWM2). Since this is an alternative function to an I/O port, the corresponding  
direction control bit must be set (one) to control an output pin. The control configuration  
is shown in Table 10.

• Bit 3 – CTC0/CTC2: Clear Timer/Counter on Compare Match  
When the CTC0 or CTC2 control bit is set (one), the Timer/Counter is reset to $00 in the  
CPU clock cycle after a compare match. If the control bit is cleared, the Timer continues  
counting and is unaffected by a compare match. Since the compare match is detected in  
the CPU clock cycle following the match, this function will behave differently when a  
prescaling higher than 1 is used for the Timer. When a prescaling of 1 is used and the  
Compare Register is set to C, the Timer will count as follows if CTC0/2 is set:  
... | C-2 | C-1 | C | 0 | 1 | ...  
When the prescaler is set to divide by 8, the Timer will count like this:  
... | C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2 | C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1 | C, 0,

Both Timer/Counters are realized as up or up/down (in PWM mode) counters with read

The Output Compare Registers are 8-bit read/write registers.  
The Timer/Counter Output Compare Registers contain the data to be continuously com-  
pared with the Timer/Counter. Actions on compare matches are specified in TCCR0 and  
TCCR2. A compare match does only occur if the Timer/Counter counts to the OCR  
value. A software write that sets the Timer/Counter and Output Compare Register to the  
same value does not generate a compare match.  
A compare match will set the Compare Interrupt Flag in the CPU clock cycle following  
the compare event.  
Timer/Counters 0 and 2 in  
PWM Mode  
When the PWM mode is selected, the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare Register  
(OCR0 or OCR2) form an 8-bit, free-running, glitch-free and phase correct PWM with  
outputs on the PB4(OC0/PWM0) or PB7(OC2/PWM2) pin. The Timer/Counter acts as  
an up/down counter, counting up from $00 to $FF, where it turns and counts down again  
to zero before the cycle is repeated. When the counter value matches the contents of  
the Output Compare Register, the PB4(OC0/PWM0) or PB7(OC2/PWM2) pin is set or  
cleared according to the settings of the COM01/COM00 or COM21/COM20 bits in the  
Timer/Counter Control Registers TCCR0 and TCCR2. Refer to Table 13 for details.

Note that in PWM mode, the Output Compare Register is transferred to a temporary  
location when written. The value is latched when the Timer/Counter reaches $FF. This  
prevents the occurrence of odd-length PWM pulses (glitches) in the event of an unsyn-  
chronized OCR0 or OCR2 write. See Figure 32 for an example.

During the time between the write and the latch operation, a read from OCR0 or OCR2  
will read the contents of the temporary location. This means that the most recently writ-  
ten value always will read out of OCR0/2.  
When the OCR Register (not the temporary register) is updated to $00 or $FF, the PWM  
output changes to low or high immediately according to the settings of COM21/COM20  
or COM11/COM10. This is shown in Table 14.

In PWM mode, the Timer Overflow Flag, TOV0 or TOV2, is set when the counter  
advances from $00. Timer Overflow Interrupts 0 and 2 operate exactly as in normal  
Timer/Counter mode, i.e., it is executed when TOV0 or TOV2 is set, provided that Timer  
Overflow interrupt and Global Interrupts are enabled. This also applies to the Timer Out-  
put Compare Flags and interrupts.  
The frequency of the PWM will be Timer Clock Frequency divided by 510.

• Bits 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega103(L) and always read as zero.

ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
• Bit 3 – AS0: Asynchronous Timer/Counter0  
When set (one), Timer/Counter0 is clocked from the TOSC1 pin. When cleared (zero),  
Timer/Counter0 is clocked from the internal system clock, CK. When the value of this bit  
is changed, the contents of TCNT0 might get corrupted.  
• Bit 2 – TCN0UB: Timer/Counter0 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and TCNT0 is written, this bit becomes  
set (one). When TCNT0 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit  
is cleared (zero) by hardware. A logical “0” in this bit indicates that TCNT0 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
• Bit 1 – OCR0UB: Output Compare Register0 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and OCR0 is written, this bit becomes  
set (one). When OCR0 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is  
cleared (zero) by hardware. A logical “0” in this bit indicates that OCR0 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
• Bit 0 – TCR0UB: Timer/Counter Control Register0 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter0 operates asynchronously and TCCR0 is written, this bit becomes  
set (one). When TCCR0 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit  
is cleared (zero) by hardware. A logical “0” in this bit indicates that TCCR0 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter0 Registers while its update  
busy flag is set (one), the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional  
interrupt to occur.  
When reading TCNT0, OCR0 and TCCR0, there is a difference in result. When reading  
TCNT0, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR0 or TCCR0, the value in the  
temporary storage register is read.  
Asynchronous Operation of  
Timer/Counter0  
When Timer/Counter0 operates synchronously, all operations and timing are identical to  
Timer/Counter2. During asynchronous operation, however, some considerations must  
be taken.  
WARNING: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of  
Timer/Counter0, the Timer Registers TCNT0, OCR0 and TCCR0 might get  
corrupted. The following is the safe procedure for switching clock source:  
1. Disable the Timer0 interrupts OCIE0 and TOIE0.  
2. Select clock source by setting ASO as appropriate.  
3. Write new values to TCNT0, OCR0 and TCCR0.  
4. If switching to asynchronous operation, wait for TCNT0UB, OCR0UB and  
TCR0UB to be cleared.  
5. Clear the Timer/Counter0 Interrupt Flags.  
6. Enable interrupts if needed.  
The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32,768 Hz watch crystal. An external clock  
signal applied to this pin goes through the same amplifier having a bandwidth of  
256 kHz. The external clock signal should therefore be in the interval 0 Hz -  
256 kHz. The frequency of the clock signal applied to the TOSC1 pin must be lower  
than one fourth of the CPU main clock frequency. Observe that CPU clock  
frequency can be lower than the XTAL frequency if the XTAL divider is enabled.  
45  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
When writing to one of the registers TCNT0, OCR0 or TCCR0, the value is  
transferred to a temporary register and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1.  
The user should not write a new value before the contents of the temporary register  
have been transferred to its destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have  
their individual temporary register, which means that e.g., writing to TCNT0 does not  
disturb an OCR0 write in progress. To detect that a transfer to the destination  
register has taken place, an Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR) has been  
implemented.  
When entering Power-save mode after having written to TCNT0, OCR0 or TCCR0,  
the user must wait until the written register has been updated if Timer/Counter0 is  
used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will go to sleep before the changes  
have had any effect. This is extremely important if the Output Compare0 interrupt is  
used to wake up the device; Output Compare is disabled during write to OCR0 or  
TCNT0. If the write cycle is not finished (i.e., the user goes to sleep before the  
OCR0UB bit returns to zero), the device will never get a compare match and the  
MCU will not wake up.  
If Timer/Counter0 is used to wake up the device from Power-save mode,  
precautions must be taken if the user wants to reenter Power-save mode: The  
interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to get reset. If the time between wake-up  
and reentering Power-save mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not  
occur and the device will fail to wake up. If the user is in doubt whether the time  
before re-entering Power-save is sufficient, the following algorithm can be used to  
ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:  
1. Write a value to TCCR0, TCNT0 or OCR0.  
2. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.  
3. Enter Power-save mode.  
When asynchronous operation is selected, the 32 kHz Oscillator for Timer/Counter0  
is always running, except in Power-down mode. After a Power-up Reset or wake-up  
from Power-down, the user should be aware of the fact that this Oscillator might take  
as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at least one  
second before using Timer/Counter0 after Power-up or wake-up from Power-down.  
The content of all Timer/Counter0 Registers must be considered lost after a wake-  
up from Power-down due to the unstable clock signal upon start-up, no matter  
whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC pin.  
Description of wake-up from Power-save mode when the Timer is clocked  
asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake-up process is started  
on the following cycle of the Timer clock, that is, the Timer is always advanced by at  
least one before the processor can read the counter value. To execute the  
corresponding Timer/Counter0 interrupt routine, the Global Interrupt bit in SREG  
must have been set. Otherwise, the part will still wake up from Power-down, but  
continues to execute the Sleep command. The Interrupt Flags are updated three  
processor cycles after the processor clock has started. During these cycles, the  
processor executes instructions, but the interrupt condition is not readable and the  
interrupt routine has not started yet.  
During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the  
asynchronous Timer takes three processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The Timer is  
therefore advanced by at least one before the processor can read the Timer value  
causing the setting of the Interrupt Flag. The Output Compare pin is changed on the  
Timer clock, and is not synchronized to the processor clock.  
After waking up from Power-save mode with the asynchronous Timer enabled, there  
will be a short interval of which TCNT0 will read as the same value as before Power-  
46  
ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
save mode was entered. After an edge on the asynchronous clock, TCNT0 will read  
correctly. (The compare and overflow functions of the Timer are not affected by this  
behavior.) Safe procedure to ensure correct value is read:  
1. Write any value to either of the registers OCR0 or TCCR0  
2. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared  
3. Read TCNT0  
Note that OCR0 and TCCR0 are never modified by hardware, and will always read  
correctly.  
16-bit Timer/Counter1  
Figure 33 shows the block diagram for Timer/Counter1.  
The 16-bit Timer/Counter1 can select clock source from CK, prescaled CK or an exter-  
nal pin. In addition, it can be stopped as described in the specification for the  
Timer/Counter1 Control Register (TCCR1B). The different Status Flags (Overflow, Com-  
pare Match and Capture Event) are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register  
(TIFR). Control signals are found in the Timer/Counter1 Control Registers – TCCR1A  
and TCCR1B. The interrupt enable/disable settings for Timer/Counter1 are found in the  
Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK).  
When Timer/Counter1 is externally clocked, the external signal is synchronized with the  
Oscillator frequency of the CPU. To assure proper sampling of the external clock, the  
minimum time between two external clock transitions must be at least one internal CPU  
clock period. The external clock signal is sampled on the rising edge of the internal CPU  
clock.  
The 16-bit Timer/Counter1 features both a high-resolution and a high-accuracy usage  
with the lower prescaling opportunities. Similarly, the high prescaling opportunities  
makes the Timer/Counter1 useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions  
with infrequent actions.  
The Timer/Counter1 supports two Output Compare functions using the Output Compare  
Registers 1A and 1B (OCR1A and OCR1B) as the data sources to be compared to the  
Timer/Counter1 contents. The Output Compare functions include optional clearing of  
the counter on Compare A Match, and actions on the Output Compare pins on both  
compare matches.

Timer/Counter1 can also be used as an 8-, 9- or 10-bit Pulse Width Modulator. In this  
mode the counter and the OCR1A/OCR1B Registers serve as a dual glitch-free stand-  
alone PWM with centered pulses. Refer to page 53 for a detailed description of this  
function.  
The Input Capture function of Timer/Counter1 provides a capture of the Timer/Counter1  
contents to the Input Capture Register (ICR1), triggered by an external event on the  
Input Capture pin – PD4/(IC1). The actual capture event settings are defined by the  
Timer/Counter1 Control Register (TCCR1B). In addition, the Analog Comparator can be  
set to trigger the Input Capture. Refer to “Analog Comparator” on page 75 for details on  
this. The ICP pin logic is shown in Figure 34.

If the Noise Canceler function is enabled, the actual trigger condition for the capture

flag.

• Bits 7..6 – COM1A1, COM1A0: Compare Output Mode1A, Bits 1 and 0  
The COM1A1 and COM1A0 control bits determine any output pin action following a  
compare match in Timer/Counter1. Any output pin actions affect pin OC1A – Output  
Compare A pin 1. This is an alternative function to an I/O port, and the corresponding  
direction control bit must be set (one) to control an output pin. The control configuration  
is shown in Table 15  
• Bits 5..4 – COM1B1, COM1B0: Compare Output Mode1B, Bits 1 and 0  
The COM1B1 and COM1B0 control bits determine any output pin action following a  
compare match in Timer/Counter1. Any output pin actions affect pin OC1B – Output  
Compare B. Since this is an alternative function to an I/O port, the corresponding direc-  
tion control bit must be set (one) to control an output pin. The control configuration is  
given in Table 15.

• Bit 7 – ICNC1: Input Capture1 Noise Canceler (4 CKs)  
When the ICNC1 bit is cleared (zero), the Input Capture Trigger Noise Canceler function  
is disabled. The Input Capture is triggered at the first rising/falling edge sampled on the  
Input Capture pin PD4(IC1) as specified. When the ICNC1 bit is set (one), four succes-  
sive samples are measured on PD4(IC1), and all samples must be high/low according to  
the Input Capture trigger specification in the ICES1 bit. The actual sampling frequency is  
XTAL clock frequency.  
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture1 Edge Select  
While the ICES1 bit is cleared (zero), the Timer/Counter1 contents are transferred to the  
Input Capture Register (ICR1) on the falling edge of the Input Capture pin – PD4(IC1).  
While the ICES1 bit is set (one), the Timer/Counter1 contents are transferred to the

• Bits 5, 4 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega103(L) and always read as zero.  
• Bit 3 – CTC1: Clear Timer/Counter1 on Compare Match  
When the CTC1 control bit is set (one), the Timer/Counter1 is reset to $0000 in the clock  
cycle after a Compare A Match. If the CTC1 control bit is cleared, Timer/Counter1 con-  
tinues counting and is unaffected by a compare match. Since the compare match is  
detected in the CPU clock cycle following the match, this function will behave differently  
when a prescaling higher than 1 is used for the Timer. When a prescaling of 1 is used  
and the Compare A Register is set to C, the Timer will count as follows if CTC1 is set:  
... | C-2 | C-1 | C | 0 | 1 | ...  
When the prescaler is set to divide by 8, the Timer will count like this:  
... | C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2, C-2 | C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1, C-1 | C, 0,  
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 | ...

This 16-bit register contains the prescaled value of the 16-bit Timer/Counter1. 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 regis-  
ter (TEMP). This temporary register is also used when accessing OCR1A, OCR1B and  
ICR1. If the main program and interrupt routines perform access to registers using  
TEMP, interrupts must be disabled during access from the main program (and from  
interrupt routines if interrupts are allowed from within interrupt routines).  
TCNT1 Timer/Counter1 Write:  
When the CPU writes to the High Byte TCNT1H, the written data is placed in the  
TEMP Register. Next, when the CPU writes the Low Byte TCNT1L, this byte of data  
is combined with the byte data in the TEMP Register, and all 16 bits are written to  
the TCNT1 Timer/Counter1 Register simultaneously. Consequently, the High Byte  
TCNT1H must be accessed first for a full 16-bit register write operation. When using  
Timer/Counter1 as an 8-bit Timer, it is sufficient to write the Low Byte only.  
TCNT1 Timer/Counter1 Read:  
When the CPU reads the Low Byte TCNT1L, the data of TCNT1L is sent to the CPU  
and the data of the High Byte TCNT1H is placed in the TEMP Register. When the  
CPU reads the data in the High Byte TCNT1H, the CPU receives the data in the  
TEMP Register. Consequently, the Low Byte TCNT1L must be accessed first for a  
51  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
full 16-bit register read operation. When using Timer/Counter1 as an 8-bit Timer, it  
is sufficient to read the Low Byte only.  
The Timer/Counter1 is realized as an up or up/down (in PWM mode) counter with read  
and write access. If Timer/Counter1 is written to and a clock source is selected, the  
Timer/Counter1 continues counting in the clock cycle after it is preset with the written  
value.

The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit read/write registers.  
The Timer/Counter1 Output Compare Registers contain the data to be continuously  
compared with Timer/Counter1. Actions on compare matches are specified in the  
Timer/Counter1 Control and Status Registers. A compare match occurs only if  
Timer/Counter1 counts to the OCR value. A software write that sets TCNT1 and OCR1A  
or OCR1B to the same value does not generate a compare match.  
A compare match will set the Compare Interrupt Flag in the CPU clock cycle following  
the compare event.  
Since the Output Compare Registers (OCR1A and OCR1B) are 16-bit registers, a tem-  
porary register TEMP is used when OCR1A/B are written to ensure that both bytes are  
updated simultaneously. When the CPU writes the High Byte, OCR1AH or OCR1BH,  
the data is temporarily stored in the TEMP Register. When the CPU writes the Low Byte,  
OCR1AL or OCR1BL, the TEMP Register is simultaneously written to OCR1AH or  
OCR1BH. Consequently, the High Byte OCR1AH or OCR1BH must be written first for a  
full 16-bit register write operation.  
The TEMP Register is also used when accessing TCNT1 and ICR1. If the main program  
and interrupt routines perform access to registers using TEMP, interrupts must be dis-  
abled during access from the main program.

The Input Capture Register is a 16-bit read-only register.  
When the rising or falling edge (according to the Input Capture edge setting (ICES1)) of  
the signal at the Input Capture pin – PD4(IC1) – is detected, the current value of the  
Timer/Counter1 is transferred to the Input Capture Register (ICR1). At the same time,  
the Input Capture Flag (ICF1) is set (one).  
Since the Input Capture Register (ICR1) is a 16-bit register, a temporary register TEMP  
is used when ICR1 is read to ensure that both bytes are read simultaneously. When the  
CPU reads the Low Byte ICR1L, the data is sent to the CPU and the data of the High  
Byte ICR1H is placed in the TEMP Register. When the CPU reads the data in the High  
Byte ICR1H, the CPU receives the data in the TEMP Register. Consequently, the Low  
Byte ICR1L must be accessed first for a full 16-bit register read operation.  
The TEMP Register is also used when accessing TCNT1, OCR1A and OCR1B. If the  
main program and interrupt routines perform access to registers using TEMP, interrupts  
must be disabled during access from the main program.  
Timer/Counter1 in PWM Mode When the PWM mode is selected, Timer/Counter1, the Output Compare Register1A  
(OCR1A) and the Output Compare Register1B (OCR1B) form a dual 8-, 9- or 10-bit,  
free-running, glitch-free and phase-correct PWM with outputs on the PB5(OC1A) and  
PB6(OC1B) pins. Timer/Counter1 acts as an up/down counter, counting up from $0000  
to TOP (see Table 16), where it turns and counts down again to zero before the cycle is  
repeated. When the counter value matches the contents of the 10 least significant bits of  
OCR1A or OCR1B, the PB5(OC1A)/PB6(OC1B) pins are set or cleared according to the  
settings of the COM1A1/COM1A0 or COM1B1/COM1B0 bits in the Timer/Counter1  
Control Register, TCCR1A. Refer to Table 19 for details.

Note:

Note that in the PWM mode, the 10 least significant OCR1A/OCR1B bits, when written,  
are transferred to a temporary location. They are latched when Timer/Counter1 reaches  
53  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
the value TOP. This prevents the occurrence of odd-length PWM pulses (glitches) in the  
event of an unsynchronized OCR1A/OCR1B write. See Figure 35 for an example.

Note: X = A or B  
During the time between the write and the latch operation, a read from OCR1A or  
OCR1B will read the contents of the temporary location. This means that the most  
recently written value always will read out of OCR1A/B.  
When the OCR1A/OCR1B contains $0000 or TOP, the output OC1A/OC1B is updated  
to low or high on the next compare match according to the settings of  
COM1A1/COM1A0 or COM1B1/COM1B0. This is shown in Table 20.  
Note:  
If the Compare Register contains the TOP value and the prescaler is not in use  
(CS12..CS10 = 001), the PWM output will not produce any pulse at all, because the up-  
counting and down-counting value is reached simultaneously. When the prescaler is in  
use (CS12..CS10 001 or 000), the PWM output goes active when the counter reaches  
the TOP value, but the down-counting compare match is not interpreted to be reached  
before the next time the counter reaches the TOP value, making a one-period PWM  
pulse.

In PWM mode, the Timer Overflow Flag1, TOV1, is set when the counter advances from  
$0000. Timer Overflow Interrupt1 operates exactly as in normal Timer/Counter mode,  
i.e., it is executed when TOV1 is set provided that Timer Overflow Interrupt1 and Global  
Interrupts are enabled. This does also apply to the Timer Output Compare1 flags and  
interrupts.

Watchdog Timer  
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from a separate On-chip Oscillator. By controlling the  
Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as shown in  
Table 21. See characterization data for typical values at other VCC levels. The WDR  
(Watchdog Reset) instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. From the Watchdog Reset,  
eight different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset period. If the  
reset period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the ATmega103(L) resets and  
executes from the Reset Vector. For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to  
page 29.  
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog, a special turn-off procedure must  
be followed when the Watchdog is disabled. Refer to the description of the Watchdog  
Timer Control Register for details.

• Bits 7..5 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega103(L) and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 4 – WDTOE: Watchdog Turn-off Enable  
This bit must be set (one) when the WDE bit is cleared, Otherwise, the Watchdog will  
not be disabled. Once set, hardware will clear this bit to zero after four clock cycles.  
Refer to the description of the WDE bit for a Watchdog disable procedure.  
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable  
When the WDE is set (one), the Watchdog Timer is enabled and if the WDE is cleared  
(zero), the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared if the  
WDTOE bit is set (one). To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following proce-  
dure must be followed:  
55  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
1. In the same operation, write a logical “1” to WDTOE and WDE. A logical “1” must  
be written to WDE even though it is set to one before the disable operation starts.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write a logical “0” to WDE. This disables the  
Watchdog.  
• Bits 2..0 – WDP2, WDP1, WDP0: Watchdog Timer Prescaler 2, 1 and 0  
The WDP2, WDP1 and WDP0 bits determine the Watchdog Timer prescaling when the

Note:  
The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage-dependent as shown in the Electri-  
cal Characteristics section.  
The WDR (Watchdog Reset) instruction should always be executed before the Watchdog  
Timer is enabled. This ensures that the reset period will be in accordance with the  
Watchdog Timer prescale settings. If the Watchdog Timer is enabled without reset, the  
Watchdog Timer may not start counting from zero.  
To avoid unintentional MCU Reset, the Watchdog Timer should be disabled or reset  
before changing the Watchdog Timer Prescale Select.

EEPROM Read/Write The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.  
Access  
The write access time is in the range of 2.5 - 4 ms, depending on the VCC voltages. A  
self-timing function lets the user software detect when the next byte can be written. A  
special EEPROM Ready interrupt can be set to trigger when the EEPROM is ready to  
accept new data.  
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be fol-  
lowed. Refer to the description of the EEPROM Control Register for details on this.  
When the EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the next  
instruction is executed. When it is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles.

constantly generates an interrupt request when EEWE is cleared (zero).

• Bit 2 – EEMWE: EEPROM Master Write Enable  
The EEMWE bit determines whether setting EEWE to one causes the EEPROM to be  
written. When EEMWE is set (one), setting EEWE will write data to the EEPROM at the  
selected address. If EEMWE is zero, setting EEWE will have no effect. When EEMWE  
has been set (one) by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after four clock cycles.  
See the description of the EEWE bit for a EEPROM write procedure.  
• Bit 1 – EEWE: EEPROM Write Enable  
The EEPROM Write Enable signal (EEWE) is the write strobe to the EEPROM. When  
address and data are correctly set up, the EEWE bit must be set to write the value into  
the EEPROM. The EEMWE bit must be set when the logical “1” is written to EEWE, oth-  
erwise no EEPROM write takes place. The following procedure should be followed  
when writing the EEPROM (the order of steps 2 and 3 is unessential):  
1. Wait until EEWE becomes zero.  
2. Write new EEPROM address to EEAR (optional).  
3. Write new EEPROM Data to EEDR (optional).  
4. Write a logical “1” to the EEMWE bit in EECR (to be able to write an logical “1” to  
the EEMWE bit, the EEWE bit must be written to zero in the same cycle).  
5. Within four clock cycles after setting EEMWE, write a logical “1” to EEWE.  
Caution: An interrupt between step 4 and step 5 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 and EEDR Registers will  
be modified, causing the interrupted EEPROM access to fail. It is recommended to have  
the Global Interrupt Flag cleared during the four last steps to avoid these problems.  
When the write access time (typically 2.5 ms at VCC = 5V or 4 ms at VCC = 2.7V) has  
elapsed, the EEWE bit is cleared (zero) by hardware. The user software can poll this bit  
and wait for a zero before writing the next byte. When EEWE 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 set. When the  
EERE bit is cleared (zero) by hardware, requested data is found in the EEDR Register.  
The EEPROM read access takes one instruction and there is no need to poll the EERE  
bit. When EERE has been set, the CPU is halted for four cycles before the next instruc-  
tion is executed.  
The user should poll the EEWE bit before starting the read operation. If a write operation  
is in progress when new data or address is written to the EEPROM I/O Registers, the  
write operation will be interrupted and the result is undefined.

Prevent EEPROM  
Corruption  
During periods of low VCC, the EEPROM Data can be corrupted because the supply volt-  
age is too low for the CPU and the EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the  
same as for board-level systems using the 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. Second, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly if the sup-  
ply voltage for executing instructions is too low.  
EEPROM Data corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommen-  
dations (one is sufficient):  
1. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply  
voltage. This is best done by an external low VCC Reset Protection circuit, often  
referred to as a Brown-out Detector (BOD). Please refer to application note “AVR  
180” for design considerations regarding Power-on Reset and low-voltage  
detection.  
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, effec-  
tively protecting the EEPROM Registers from unintentional writes.  
3. Store constants in Flash memory if the ability to change memory contents from  
software is not required. Flash memory cannot be updated by the CPU and will  
not be subject to corruption.

0945I–AVR–02/07  
Serial Peripheral  
Interface – SPI  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer  
between the ATmega103(L) and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices.  
The ATmega103(L) SPI features include the following:  
Full-duplex, Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer  
Master or Slave Operation  
LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer  
Four Programmable Bit Rates  
End-of-Transmission Interrupt Flag  
Write Collision Flag Protection  
Wake-up from Idle Mode (Slave Mode only)  
Figure 37. SPI Block Diagram  
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 38.  
The PB1 (SCK) pin is the clock output in the Master mode and is the clock input in the  
Slave mode. Writing to the SPI Data Register of the Master CPU starts the SPI clock  
generator, and the data written shifts out of the PB2 (MOSI) pin and into the PB2 (MOSI)  
pin of the Slave CPU. 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 Slave Select input, PB0(SS), is set low to  
select an individual Slave SPI device. The two Shift Registers in the Master and the  
Slave can be considered as one distributed 16-bit circular Shift Register. This is shown  
in Figure 38. When data is shifted from the Master to the Slave, data is also shifted in  
the opposite direction, simultaneously. This means that during one shift cycle, data in  
the Master and the Slave are interchanged.

The system is single-buffered in the transmit direction and double-buffered in the  
receive direction. This means that characters to be transmitted cannot be written to the  
SPI Data Register before the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, how-  
ever, a received byte must be read from the SPI Data Register before the next byte has  
been completely shifted in. Otherwise, the first byte is lost.  
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK and SS pins is  
overridden according to the following table:

Note:  
See “Alternate Functions of Port B” on page 89 for a detailed description and how to  
define the direction of the user-defined SPI pins.  
SS Pin Functionality  
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 that does not affect the SPI system. 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 Master with the SS pin defined as an input, the SPI sys-  
tem interprets this as another Master selecting the SPI as a Slave and starts 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 transmittal 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. Once the MSTR bit has been cleared by a Slave Select, it must be set by the  
user to re-enable SPI Master mode.  
When the SPI is configured as a Slave, the 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  
61  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
the SS pin is brought high. If the SS pin is brought high during a transmission, the SPI  
will stop sending and receiving immediately and both data received and data sent must  
be considered as lost.  
Data Modes  
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data that  
are determined by control bits CPHA and CPOL. The SPI data transfer formats are  
shown in Figure 39 and Figure 40.

• Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag  
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF bit is set (one) and an interrupt is gener-

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 SPI Data Register is a read/write register used for data transfer between the Regis-  
ter File and the SPI Shift Register. Writing to the register initiates data transmission.  
Reading the register causes the Shift Register Receive buffer to be read.

UART  
The ATmega103(L) features a full duplex (separate Receive and Transmit Registers)  
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). The main features are:  
Baud Rate Generator that can Generate a large Number of Baud Rates (bps)  
High Baud Rates at Low XTAL Frequencies  
8 or 9 Bits Data  
Noise Filtering  
OverRun Detection  
Framing Error Detection  
False Start Bit Detection  
Three separate Interrupts on TX Complete, TX Data Register Empty and RX Complete  
Data Transmission  
A block schematic of the UART Transmitter is shown in Figure 41.  
Data transmission is initiated by writing the data to be transmitted to the UART I/O Data  
Register, UDR. Data is transferred from UDR to the Transmit Shift Register when:  
A new character has been written to UDR after the stop bit from the previous  
character has been shifted out. The Shift Register is loaded immediately.  
A new character has been written to UDR before the stop bit from the previous  
character has been shifted out. The Shift Register is loaded when the stop bit of the  
character currently being transmitted has been shifted out.  
If the 10(11)-bit Transmit Shift Register is empty, data is transferred from UDR to the  
Shift Register. At this time the UDRE (UART Data Register Empty) bit in the UART Sta-  
tus Register, USR, is set. When this bit is set (one), the UART is ready to receive the  
next character. Writing to UDR clears UDRE. At the same time as the data is transferred  
from UDR to the 10(11)-bit Shift Register, bit 0 of the Shift Register is cleared (start bit)  
and bit 9 or 10 is set (stop bit). If 9-bit data word is selected (the CHR9 bit in the UART  
Control Register, UCR is set), the TXB8 bit in UCR is transferred to bit 9 in the Transmit  
Shift Register.

On the baud rate clock following the transfer operation to the Shift Register, the start bit  
is shifted out on the TXD pin, followed by the data, LSB first. When the stop bit has been  
shifted out, the Shift Register is loaded if any new data has been written to the UDR dur-  
ing the transmission. During loading, UDRE is set. If there is no new data in the UDR  
Register to send when the stop bit is shifted out, the UDRE Flag will remain set. In this  
case, after the stop bit has been present on TXD for one bit length, the TX Complete  
Flag (TXC) in USR is set.  
The TXEN bit in UCR enables the UART Transmitter when set (one). When this bit is  
cleared (zero), the PE1 pin can be used for general I/O. When TXEN is set, the UART  
Transmitter will be connected to PE1, which is forced to be an output pin regardless of  
the setting of the DDE1 bit in DDRE.

The Receiver front-end logic samples the signal on the RXD pin at a frequency 16 times  
the baud rate. While the line is idle, one single sample of logical “0” will be interpreted as  
the falling edge of a start bit, and the start bit detection sequence is initiated. Let sample  
1 denote the first zero-sample. Following the 1-to-0 transition, the Receiver samples the  
RXD pin at samples 8, 9, and 10. If two or more of these three samples are found to be  
logical “1”s, the start bit is rejected as a noise spike and the Receiver starts looking for  
the next 1-to-0 transition.  
If, however, a valid start bit is detected, sampling of the data bits following the start bit is  
performed. These bits are also sampled at samples 8, 9 and 10. The logical value found  
in at least two of the three samples is taken as the bit value. All bits are shifted into the  
Transmitter Shift Register as they are sampled. Sampling of an incoming character is  
shown in Figure 43.

SAMPLING  
When the stop bit enters the Receiver, the majority of the three samples must be one to  
accept the stop bit. If two or more samples are logical “0”s, the Framing Error (FE) Flag  
in the UART Status Register (USR) is set when the received byte is transferred to UDR.  
Before reading the UDR Register, the user should always check the FE bit to detect  
Framing Errors. FE is cleared when UDR is read.  
Whether or not a valid stop bit is detected at the end of a character reception cycle, the  
data is transferred to UDR and the RXC Flag in USR is set. UDR is in fact two physically  
separate registers, one for transmitted data and one for received data. When UDR is  
read, the Receive Data Register is accessed, and when UDR is written, the Transmit  
Data Register is accessed. If 9-bit data word is selected (the CHR9 bit in the UART Con-  
trol Register, UCR is set), the RXB8 bit in UCR is loaded with bit 9 in the Transmit Shift  
Register when data is transferred to UDR.  
If, after having received a character, the UDR Register has not been accessed since the  
last receive, the OverRun (OR) flag in USR is set. This means that the new data trans-  
ferred to the Shift Register could not be transferred to UDR and is lost. The OR bit is  
buffered, and is available when the valid data byte in UDR has been read. The user  
should always check the OR after reading from the UDR Register in order to detect any  
OverRuns if the baud rate is high or CPU load is high.  
When the RXEN bit in the UCR Register is cleared (zero), the Receiver is disabled. This  
means that the PE0 pin can be used as a general I/O pin. When RXEN is set, the UART  
Receiver will be connected to PE0, which is forced to be an input pin regardless of the  
setting of the DDE0 bit in DDRE. When PE0 is forced to input by the UART, the  
PORTE0 bit can still be used to control the pull-up resistor on the pin.  
When the CHR9 bit in the UCR Register is set, transmitted and received characters are  
9 bits long plus start and stop bits. The 9th data bit to be transmitted is the TXB8 bit in  
UCR Register. This bit must be set to the wanted value before a transmission is initated  
by writing to the UDR Register.

The USR Register is a read-only register providing information on the UART Status.  
• Bit 7 – RXC: UART Receive Complete  
This bit is set (one) when a received character is transferred from the Receiver Shift  
Register to UDR. The bit is set regardless of any detected framing errors. When the  
RXCIE bit in UCR is set, the UART Receive Complete interrupt will be executed when  
RXC is set (one). RXC is cleared by reading UDR. When interrupt-driven data reception  
is used, the UART Receive Complete Interrupt routine must read UDR in order to clear  
RXC, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.  
• Bit 6 – TXC: UART Transmit Complete  
This bit is set (one) when the entire character (including the stop bit) in the Transmit  
Shift Register has been shifted out and no new data has been written to the UDR. This  
flag is especially useful in half-duplex communications interfaces, where a transmitting  
application must enter Receive mode and free the communications bus immediately  
after completing the transmission.  
When the TXCIE bit in UCR is set, setting of TXC causes the UART Transmit Complete  
interrupt to be executed. TXC is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding  
interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the TXC bit is cleared (zero) by writing a logical  
“1” to the bit.  
• Bit 5 – UDRE: UART Data Register Empty  
This bit is set (one) when a character written to UDR is transferred to the Transmit Shift  
Register. Setting of this bit indicates that the Transmitter is ready to receive a new char-  
acter for transmission.  
When the UDRIE bit in UCR is set, the UART Transmit Complete interrupt to be exe-  
cuted as long as UDRE is set. UDRE is cleared by writing UDR. When interrupt-driven  
data transmittal is used, the UART Data Register Empty Interrupt routine must write  
UDR in order to clear UDRE, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt rou-  
tine terminates.  
UDRE is set (one) during reset to indicate that the Transmitter is ready.

• Bit 4 – FE: Framing Error  
This bit is set if a Framing Error condition is detected, i.e., when the stop bit of an incom-  
ing character is zero.  
The FE bit is cleared when the stop bit of received data is one.  
• Bit 3 – OR: OverRun  
This bit is set if an OverRun condition is detected, i.e., when a character already present  
in the UDR Register is not read before the next character is transferred from the  
Receiver Shift Register. The OR bit is buffered, which means that it will be set once the  
valid data still in UDRE is read.  
The OR bit is cleared (zero) when data is received and transferred to UDR.  
• Bits 2..0 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega103(L) and will always read as zero.

When this bit is set (one), a setting of the UDRE bit in USR will cause the UART Data  
Register Empty Interrupt routine to be executed, provided that global interrupts are  
enabled.  
• Bit 4 – RXEN: Receiver Enable  
This bit enables the UART Receiver when set (one). When the Receiver is disabled, the  
RXC, OR and FE Status Flags cannot become set. If these flags are set, turning off  
RXEN does not cause them to be cleared.  
• Bit 3 – TXEN: Transmitter Enable  
This bit enables the UART Transmitter when set (one). When disabling the Transmitter  
while transmitting a character, the Transmitter is not disabled before the character in the  
Shift Register plus any following character in UDR has been completely transmitted.  
• Bit 2 – CHR9: 9-bit Characters  
When this bit is set (one), transmitted and received characters are nine bits long, plus  
start and stop bits. The ninth bit is read and written by using the RXB8 and TXB8 bits in  
UCR, respectively. The ninth data bit can be used as an extra stop bit or a parity bit.

• Bit 1 – RXB8: Receive Data Bit 8  
When CHR9 is set (one), RXB8 is the ninth data bit of the received character.  
• Bit 0 – TXB8: Transmit Data Bit 8  
When CHR9 is set (one), TXB8 is the ninth data bit in the character to be transmitted.

Baud Rate Generator  
The baud rate generator is a frequency divider that generates baud rates according to  
the following equation:  
f
CK  
BAUD = --------------------------------------  
16(UBRR + 1)  
BAUD = baud rate  
CK = CPU clock frequency  
UBRR = contents of the UART Baud Rate Register, UBRR (0 - 255)  
f
For standard crystal frequencies, the most commonly used baud rates can be generated  
by using the UBRR settings in Table 24. Observe that CPU clock frequency can be  
lower than the XTAL frequency if the XTAL divider is enabled. UBRR values that yield an  
actual baud rate differing less than 2% from the target baud rate are in boldface in the  
table. However, using baud rates that have more than 1% error is not recommended.  
High error ratings give less noise resistance.

Analog Comparator  
The analog comparator compares the input values on the positive input PE2 (AC+) and  
negative input PE3 (AC-). When the voltage on the positive input PE2 (AC+) is higher  
than the voltage on the negative input PE3 (AC-), the Analog Comparator Output (ACO)  
is set (one). The output of the comparator 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 44.

• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable  
When this bit is set (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 con-  
sumption 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 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATmega103(L) and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output  
ACO is directly connected to the comparator output.  
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set (one) when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode defined  
by ACI1 and ACI0. The Analog Comparator Interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE bit  
is set (one) and the I-bit in SREG is set (one). ACI is cleared by hardware when execut-  
75  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a  
logical “1” to the flag. Observe, however, that if another bit in this register is modified  
using the SBI or CBI instruction, ACI will be cleared if it has become set before the  
operation.  
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable  
When the ACIE bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the Ana-  
log Comparator interrupt is activated. When cleared (zero), the interrupt is disabled.  
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable  
When set (one), this bit enables the Input Capture function in Timer/Counter1 to be trig-  
gered by the analog comparator. The comparator output is, in this case, directly  
connected to the Input Capture front-end logic, making the comparator utilize the noise  
canceler and edge select features of the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture interrupt. When  
cleared (zero), no connection between the analog comparator and the Input Capture  
function is given. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture  
interrupt, the TICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) must be set (one).  
• Bits 1, 0 – ACIS1, ACIS0: Analog Comparator Interrupt Mode Select  
These bits determine which comparator events that trigger the Analog Comparator inter-  
rupt. The different settings are shown in Table 25.

When changing the ACIS1/ACIS0 bits, the Analog Comparator interrupt must be dis-

can occur when the bits are changed.  
Caution: Using the SBI or CBI instruction on other bits than ACI in this register will write  
a one back into ACI if it is read as set, thus clearing the flag.

The ATmega103(L) features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is con-  
nected to an 8-channel Analog Multiplexer, which allows each pin of Port F to be used  
as an input for the ADC. The ADC contains a Sample and Hold Amplifier, 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 45.  
The ADC has two separate analog supply voltage pins, AVCC and AGND. AGND must  
be connected to GND, and the voltage on AVCC must not differ more than ± 0.3V from  
V
CC. See the section “ADC Noise Canceling Techniques” on page 82 on how to connect  
these pins.  
An external reference voltage must be applied to the AREF pin. This voltage must be in  
the range AGND - AVCC  
.

Operation  
The ADC operates in Single Conversion mode, and each conversion will have to be ini-  
tiated by the user.  
The ADC is enabled by writing a logical “1” to the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSR.  
The first conversion that is started after enabling the ADC will be preceded by a dummy  
conversion to initialize the ADC. To the user, the only difference will be that this conver-  
sion takes 13 more ADC clock pulses than a normal conversion (see Figure 48).  
A conversion is started by writing a logical “1” to the ADC Start Conversion bit, ADSC.  
This bit will stay high as long as the conversion is in progress and be set to zero by hard-  
ware 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.  
As the ADC generates a 10-bit result, two Data Registers, ADCH and ADCL, must be  
read to get the result when the conversion is complete. Special data protection logic is  
used to ensure that the contents of the Data Registers belong to the same result when  
they are read. This mechanism works as follows:  
When reading data, ADCL must be read first. Once ADCL is read, ADC access to Data  
Registers is blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion com-  
pletes before ADCH is read, none of the registers are 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, ADIF, which can be triggered when a conversion com-  
pletes. When ADC access to the Data Registers is prohibited between reading of ADCL  
and ADCH, the interrupt will trigger even if the result is lost.

ADC CLOCK SOURCE  
The ADC contains a prescaler, which divides the system clock to an acceptable ADC  
clock frequency. The ADC accepts input clock frequencies in the range 50 - 200 kHz.  
Applying a higher input frequency will result in poorer accuracy (see “ADC DC Charac-  
teristics” on page 83).  
The ADPS0 - ADPS2 bits in ADCSR are used to generate a proper ADC clock input fre-  
quency from any XTAL frequency above 100 kHz. The prescaler starts counting from  
the moment the ADC is switched on by setting the ADEN bit in ADCSR. The prescaler  
78  
ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
keeps running for as long as the ADEN bit is set and is continuously reset when ADEN  
is low.  
When initiating a conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSR, the conversion starts at  
the following falling edge of the ADC clock cycle. The actual sample-and-hold takes  
place one ADC clock cycle after the start of the conversion. The result is ready and writ-  
ten to the ADC Result Register after 13 cycles. The ADC needs two more clock cycles  
before a new conversion can be started. If ADSC is set high in this period, the ADC will  
start the new conversion immediately. For a summary of conversion times, see Table  
26.

ADC Noise Canceler  
Function  
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during Idle mode to reduce  
noise induced from the CPU core. To make use of this feature, the following procedure  
should be used:  
1. Turn off the ADC by clearing ADEN.  
2. Turn on the ADC and simultaneously start a conversion by setting ADEN and  
ADSC. This starts a dummy conversion that will be followed by a valid  
conversion.  
3. Within 14 ADC clock cycles, enter Idle mode.  
4. If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC inter-  
rupt will wake up the MCU and execute the ADC conversion complete interrupt  
routine.

• Bit 7 – ADEN: ADC Enable  
Writing a logical “1” to this bit enables the ADC. By clearing this bit 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  
A logical “1” must be written to this bit to start each conversion. The first time ADSC has  
been written after the ADC has been enabled, or if ADSC is written at the same time as  
the ADC is enabled, a dummy conversion will precede the initiated conversion. This  
dummy conversion performs initialization of the ADC.  
ADSC remains high during the conversion. ADSC goes low after the conversion is com-  
plete, but before the result is written to the ADC Data Registers. This allows a new  
conversion to be initiated before the current conversion is complete. The new conver-  
sion will then start immediately after the current conversion completes. When a dummy  
conversion precedes a real conversion, ADSC will stay high until the real conversion  
completes.  
Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.

• Bit 5 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved in the ATmega103(L). Warning: When writing ADCSR, a logical “0”  
must be written to this bit.  
• Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set (one) when an ADC conversion is complete and the result is written to the  
ADC Data Registers are updated. The ADC Conversion Complete interrupt is executed  
if the ADIE bit and the I-bit in SREG are set (one). ADIF is cleared by hardware when  
executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ADIF is cleared by  
writing a logical “1” to the flag. Beware that if doing a Read-Modify-Write on ADCSR, 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 set (one) and the I-bit in SREG is set (one), the ADC Conversion Com-  
plete interrupt is activated.  
• Bits 2..0 – ADPS2..ADPS0: ADC Prescaler Select Bits  
These bits determine the division factor between the XTAL frequency and the input  
clock to the ADC.

When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers. It is  
essential that both registers are read and that ADCL is read before ADCH.

ADC Noise Canceling  
Techniques  
Digital circuitry inside and outside the ATmega103(L) generates EMI, which might affect  
the accuracy of analog measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level  
can be reduced by applying the following techniques:  
1. The analog part of the ATmega103(L) and all analog components in the applica-  
tion should have a separate analog ground plane on the PCB. This ground plane  
is connected to the digital ground plane via a single point on the PCB.  
2. Keep analog signal paths as short as possible. Make sure analog tracks run over  
the analog ground plane, and keep them well away from high-speed switching  
digital tracks.  
3. The AVCC pin on the ATmega103(L) should have its own decoupling capacitor as  
shown in Figure 49.  
4. Use the ADC Noise Canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.  
5. If some Port F pins are used as digital inputs, it is essential that these do not  
switch while a conversion is in progress.

Interface to External  
SRAM  
The interface to the SRAM consists of:  
Port A: multiplexed low-order address bus and data bus  
Port C: high-order address bus  
The ALE pin: address latch enable  
The RD and WR pin: read and write strobes  
The external data SRAM is enabled by setting the external SRAM enable bit (SRE) of  
the MCU Control Register (MCUCR) and will override the setting of the Data Direction  
Register (DDRA). When the SRE bit is cleared (zero), the external data SRAM is dis-  
abled and the normal pin and data direction settings are used. When SRE is cleared  
(zero), the address space above the internal SRAM boundary is not mapped into the  
internal SRAM as AVR parts do not have an interface to the external SRAM.  
When ALE goes from high to low, there is a valid address on Port A. ALE is low during a  
data transfer. RD and WR are active when accessing the external SRAM only.  
When the external SRAM is enabled, the ALE signal may have short pulses when  
accessing the internal RAM, but the ALE signal is stable when accessing the external  
SRAM.  
Figure 50 shows how to connect an external SRAM to the AVR using eight latches that  
are transparent when G is high.  
By default, the external SRAM access is a three-cycle scheme as depicted in Figure 51.  
When one extra wait state is needed in the access cycle, set the SRW bit (one) in the  
MCUCR Register. The resulting access scheme is shown in Figure 52. In both cases,  
note that Port A is data bus in one cycle only. As soon as the data access finishes, Port  
A becomes a low-order address bus again.  
Note:  
If a read is followed by a write, or vice versa, there is no extra insertion of wait states in  
between. The user may insert a NOP between consecutive read and write operations to  
the external RAM, because such short time for releasing the bus is difficult to obtain with-  
out making bus contention.  
For details on the timing for the SRAM interface, please refer to Figure 79, Table 45,  
Table 46, Table 47, and Table 48 in the section “DC Characteristics” on page 118 and  
refer to “Architectural Overview” on page 8 for a description of the memory map, includ-  
ing address space for SRAM.

I/O Ports  
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital  
I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without uninten-  
tionally changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The  
same applies for changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of  
pull-up resistors (if configured as input).  
Port A  
Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups.  
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for Port A, one each for the Data  
Register – PORTA, $1B($3B), Data Direction Register – DDRA, $1A($3A) and the Port  
A Input Pins – PINA, $19($39). The Port A Input Pins address is read-only, while the  
Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.  
All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors. The Port A output buffers can  
sink 20 mA and thus drive LED displays directly. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as  
inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source current if the internal pull-up resis-  
tors are activated.  
The Port A pins have alternate functions related to the optional external data SRAM.  
Port A can be configured to be the multiplexed low-order address/data bus during  
accesses to the byte.  
When Port A is set to the alternate function by the SRE (External SRAM Enable) bit in  
the MCUCR (MCU Control Register), the alternate settings override the Data Direction  
Register.

The Port A Input Pins address (PINA) is not a register; this address enables access to  
the physical value on each Port A pin. When reading PORTA the Port A Data Latch is  
read and when reading PINA, the logical values present on the pins are read.  
Port A as General Digital I/O  
All eight pins in Port A have equal functionality when used as digital I/O pins.  
PAn, general I/O pin: The DDAn bit in the DDRA Register selects the direction of this  
pin. If DDAn is set (one), PAn is configured as an output pin. If DDAn is cleared (zero),  
PAn is configured as an input pin. If PORTAn is set (one) when the pin configured as an  
input pin, the MOS pull-up resistor is activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, POR-  
TAn has to be cleared (zero) or the pin has to be configured as an output pin. The port

Alternate Functions of Port B The alternate pin configuration is as follows:  
• OC2/PWM2, Bit 7  
OC2/PWM2, Output Compare output for Timer/Counter2 or PWM output when  
Timer/Counter2 is in PWM mode. The pin has to be configured as an output to serve  
this function.  
• OC1B/PWM1B, Bit 6  
OC1B/PWM1B, Output Compare output B for Timer/Counter1 or PWM output B when  
Timer/Counter1 is in PWM mode. The pin has to be configured as an output to serve  
this function.  
• OC1A/PWM1A, Bit 5  
OC1A/PWM1A, Output Compare output A for Timer/Counter1 or PWM output A when  
Timer/Counter1 is in PWM mode. The pin has to be configured as an output to serve  
this function.  
• OC0/PWM0, Bit 4  
OC0/PWM0, Output Compare output for Timer/Counter0 or PWM output when  
Timer/Counter0 is in PWM mode. The pin has to be configured as an output to serve  
this function.  
• MISO – Port B, Bit 3  
MISO: Master Data input, Slave Data output pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is  
enabled as a Master, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of  
DDB3. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
DDB3. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the  
PORTB3 bit. See the description of the SPI port for further details.  
• MOSI – Port B, Bit 2  
MOSI: SPI Master Data output, Slave Data input for SPI channel. When the SPI is  
enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB2.  
When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
DDB2. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the  
PORTB2 bit. See the description of the SPI port for further details.  
• SCK – Port B, Bit 1  
SCK: Master Clock output, Slave Clock input pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is  
enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of DDB1.  
When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
89  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
DDB1. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the  
PORTB1 bit. See the description of the SPI port for further details.  
• SS – Port B, Bit 0  
SS: Slave Port Select input. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, this pin is configured  
as an input regardless of the setting of DDB0. As a Slave, the SPI is activated when this  
pin is driven low. When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is  
controlled by DDB0. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be con-  
trolled by the PORTB0 bit. See the description of the SPI port for further details.

Port C  
Port C is an 8-bit output port.  
The Port C pins have alternate functions related to the optional external data SRAM.  
When using the device with external SRAM, Port C outputs the high-order address byte  
during accesses to external Data memory. When a reset condition becomes active, the  
port pins are not tri-stated, but the pins will assume their initial value after two stable  
clock cycles.

The Port D Input Pins address (PIND) is not a register, and this address enables access  
to the physical value on each Port D pin. When reading PORTD, the Port D Data Latch  
is read, and when reading PIND, the logical values present on the pins are read.  
Port D as General Digital I/O  
PDn, General I/O pin: The DDDn bit in the DDRD Register selects the direction of this  
pin. If DDDn is set (one), PDn is configured as an output pin. If DDDn is cleared (zero),  
PDn is configured as an input pin. If PDn is set (one) when configured as an input pin  
the MOS pull-up resistor is activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off the PDn has to be  
cleared (zero) or the pin has to be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-  
stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

Alternate Functions of Port D The alternate pin functions of Port D are:  
• INT0..INT3 – Port D, Bits 0..3  
External Interrupt sources 0 - 3. The PD0 - PD3 pins can serve as external active low  
interrupt sources to the MCU. The internal pull-up MOS resistors can be activated as  
described above. See the interrupt description for further details, and how to enable the  
sources.

• IC1 – Port D, Bit 4  
IC1, Input Capture pin for Timer/Counter1. When a positive or negative (selectable)  
edge is applied to this pin, the contents of Timer/Counter1 is transferred to the  
Timer/Counter1 Input Capture Register. The pin has to be configured as an input to  
serve this function. See the Timer/Counter1 description on how to operate this function.  
The internal pull-up MOS resistor can be activated as described above.  
• T1 – Port D, Bit 6

Port E  
Port E is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors.  
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for the Port E, one each for the Data  
Register – PORTE, $03($23), Data Direction Register – DDRE, $02($22) and the Port E  
Input Pins – PINE, $01($21). The Port E Input Pins address is read-only, while the Data  
Register and the Data Direction Register are read/write.  
The Port E output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port E pins that are externally  
pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated.  
All Port E pins have alternate functions as shown in Table 33.

Memory Lock Bits  
The ATmega103(L) MCU provides two Lock bits that can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or  
can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the additional features listed in Table 35. The Lock  
bits can only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command.

Note:  
1. In Parallel mode, programming of the Fuse bits are also disabled. Program the Fuse  
bits before programming the Lock bits.  
Fuse Bits  
The ATmega103(L) has four Fuse bits, SPIEN, SUT1..0 and EESAVE.  
When the SPIEN Fuse is programmed (“0”), Serial Program and Data Downloading  
is enabled. Default value is programmed (“0”). The SPIEN Fuse is not accessible in  
Serial Programming mode.  
When EESAVE is programmed, the EEPROM memory is preserved through the  
Chip Erase cycle. Default value is unprogrammed (“1”). The EESAVE Fuse bit  
cannot be programmed if any of the Lock bits are programmed.  
SUT1..0 Fuses: Determine the MCU start-up time. See Table 5 on page 27 for  
further details. Default value is unprogrammed (“11”), which gives a nominal start-up  
time of 16 ms.  
The status of the Fuse bits is not affected by Chip Erase.  
Signature Bytes  
All Atmel microcontrollers have a 3-byte signature code that identifies the device. This  
code can be read in both Serial and Parallel mode. The three bytes reside in a separate  
address space.  
For the ATmega103 they are:  
1. $000: $1E (indicates manufactured by Atmel)  
2. $001: $97 (indicates 128K bytes Flash memory)  
3. $002: $01 (indicates ATmega103 when signature byte $001 is $97)  
Programming the Flash  
and EEPROM  
Atmel’s ATmega103(L) offers 128K bytes of In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory  
and 4K bytes of EEPROM Data memory.  
The ATmega103(L) is shipped with the On-chip Flash Program and EEPROM Data  
memory arrays in the erased state (i.e., contents = $FF) and ready to be programmed.  
This device supports a Parallel Programming mode and a Serial Programming mode.  
The +12V supplied to the RESET pin in Parallel Programming mode is used for pro-  
gramming enable only, and no current of significance is drawn by this pin. The Serial  
Programming mode provides a convenient way to download program and data into the  
ATmega103(L) inside the user’s system.  
104  
ATmega103(L)  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
ATmega103(L)  
The Flash Program memory array on the ATmega103(L) is organized as 512 pages of  
256 bytes each. When programming the Flash, the Program data is latched into a page  
buffer. This allows one page of program data to be programmed simultaneously in either  
Programming mode.  
The EEPROM Data memory array on the ATmega103(L) is programmed byte-by-byte in  
either Programming mode. An auto-erase cycle is provided within the self-timed  
EEPROM write instruction in the Serial Programming mode.  
During programming, the supply voltage must be in accordance with Table 36.

Parallel Programming  
This section describes how to Parallel Program and verify Flash Program memory,  
EEPROM Data memory, Lock bits and Fuse bits in the ATmega103(L). Pulses are  
assumed to be at least 500 ns unless otherwise noted.  
Signal Names  
In this section, some pins of the ATmega103(L) are referenced by signal names describ-  
ing their function during parallel programming (see Figure 72 and Table 37). Pins not  
described in Table 37 are referenced by pin names.  
The XA1/XA0 pins determine the action executed when the XTAL1 pin is given a posi-  
tive pulse. The bit coding is shown in Table 38.  
When pulsing WR or OE, the command loaded determines the action executed. The  
command is a byte where the different bits are assigned functions, as shown in Table  
39.

Enter Programming Mode  
The following algorithm puts the device in Parallel Programming mode:  
1. Apply supply voltage according to Table 36, between VCC and GND.  
2. Set RESET and BS1 pins to “0” and wait at least 100 ns.  
3. Apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET. Any activity on BS1 within 100 ns after +12V has  
been applied to RESET will cause the device to fail entering Programming mode.  
Chip Erase  
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM memories, and 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 or EEPROM is  
reprogrammed.  
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 XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.  
5. Give WR a tWLWH_CE wide negative pulse to execute Chip Erase. See Table 40 for  
tWLWH_CE value. Chip Erase does not generate any activity on the RDY/BSY pin.

Programming the Flash  
The Flash is organized as 512 pages of 256 bytes each. 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 XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.  
B: Load Address Low Byte.  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”. This selects low address.  
3. Set DATA = Address Low Byte ($00 - $FF)  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address Low Byte.  
C: Load Data Low Byte.  
1. Set BS1 to “0”. This selects low data.  
2. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.  
3. Set DATA = Data Low Byte ($00 - $FF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
D: Latch Data Low Byte.  
1. Give PAGEL a positive pulse. This latches the data Low Byte.

Programming the EEPROM  
The programming algorithm for the EEPROM data memory is as follows (refer to “Pro-  
gramming the Flash” on page 107 for details on command, address and data loading):  
1. A: Load Command “0001 0001”.  
2. H: Load Address High Byte ($00 - $0F).  
3. B: Load Address Low Byte ($00 - $FF).  
4. E: Load Data Low Byte ($00 - $FF).  
L: Write Data Low Byte.  
1. Set BS to “0”. This selects low data.  
2. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the data byte. RDY/BSY  
goes low.  
3. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high to program the next byte.  
(See Figure 75 for signal waveforms.)  
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.  
Address High Byte needs only be loaded before programming a new 256-word page  
in the EEPROM.  
Skip writing the data value $FF that is the contents of the entire EEPROM after a  
chip erase.  
These considerations also apply to Flash, EEPROM and signature bytes reading.

Serial Downloading  
Both the Flash and EEPROM memory arrays can be programmed using the serial inter-  
face while RESET is pulled to GND, or when PEN is low during Power-on Reset. The  
serial interface consists of pins SCK, RXD/PDI (input) and TXD/PDO (output). After  
RESET is set low, the Programming Enable instruction needs to be executed first before  
program/erase instructions can be executed.  
For the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is provided within the self-timed Write instruction  
and there is no need to first execute the Chip Erase instruction. The Chip Erase instruc-  
tion turns the content of every memory location in both the Program and EEPROM  
arrays into $FF.  
The Program and EEPROM memory arrays have separate address spaces: $0000 to  
$FFFF for Program memory and $0000 to $0FFF for EEPROM memory.  
Either an external clock is supplied at pin XTAL1 or a crystal needs to be connected  
across pins XTAL1 and XTAL2. The minimum low and high periods for the serial clock  
(SCK) input are defined as follows:  
Low: > 2 XTAL1 clock cycles  
High: > 2 XTAL1 clock cycles

Serial Programming  
Algorithm  
When writing serial data to the ATmega103(L), data is sampled by the ATmega  
103/103L on the rising edge of SCK. When reading data from the ATmega103(L), data  
is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 78 for an explanation. To program and  
verify the ATmega103(L) in the Serial Programming mode, the following sequence is  
recommended (See 4-byte instruction formats in Table 44.):  
1. Power-up sequence: Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK  
are set to “0”. The RESET signal must be kept low during the complete serial  
programming session. If a crystal is not connected across pins XTAL1 and  
XTAL2, apply a clock signal to the XTAL1 pin. In some systems, the programmer  
cannot guarantee that SCK is held low during Power-up. In this case, RESET  
must be given a positive pulse of at least two XTAL1 cycles duration after SCK  
has been set to “0”.  
113  
0945I–AVR–02/07  
As an alternative to using the RESET signal, PEN can be held low during Power-  
on Reset while SCK is set to “0”. In this case, only the PEN value at Power-on  
Reset is important. If a crystal is not connected across pins XTAL1 and XTAL2,  
apply a clock signal to the XTAL1 pin. If the programmer cannot guarantee that  
SCK is held low during power-up, the PEN method cannot be used. The device  
must be powered down in order to commence normal operation when using this  
method.  
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable serial programming by sending the Program-  
ming Enable serial instruction to pin PE0(PDI/RXD).  
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of  
synchronization. When in sync, the second byte ($53) will echo back when issu-  
ing 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 $53 did  
not echo back, give SCK a positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable  
instruction. If the $53 is not seen within 32 attempts, there is no functional device  
connected.  
4. If a chip erase is performed (must be done to erase the Flash), wait at least (2 x  
t
WD_FLASH), give RESET a positive pulse of at least two XTAL1 cycles duration  
after SCK has been set to “0”, and start over from step 2.  
5. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one  
byte at a time by supplying the 7 LSB of the address and data together with the  
Load Program Memory Page instruction. The Program Memory Page is stored  
by loading the Write Program Memory Page instruction with the 9 MSB of the  
address. The next page can be written after tWD_FLASH, i.e., writing 256 bytes  
takes tWD_FLASH. Accessing the serial programming interface before the Flash  
write operation completes can result in incorrect programming.  
6. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address  
and data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory  
location is first automatically erased before new data is written. If polling is not  
used, the user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (Please  
refer to Table 42.)  
7. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction, which  
returns the content at the selected address at serial output PE1(PDO/TXD).  
8. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence  
normal operation.  
9. Power-off sequence (if needed): Set XTAL1 to “0” (if a crystal is not used). Set  
RESET to “1”. Turn VCC power off.  
Table 42 shows the actual delays used in this section.  
Please note: The MISO pin is not high-Z during serial programming.  
Data Polling for the EEPROM  
When a new EEPROM byte has been written and is being programmed into the  
EEPROM, reading the address location being programmed will first give the value P1  
(please refer to Table 43) until the auto-erase is finished, and then the value P2.  
At the time the device is ready for a new EEPROM byte, the programmed value will read  
correctly. This is used to determine when the next byte can be written. This will not work  
for the values P1 and P2, so when programming these values, the user will have to wait  
for at least the prescribed time tWD_EEPROM (please refer to Table 42) before programming  
the next byte. As a chip-erased device contains $FF in all locations, programming of  
addresses that are meant to contain $FF can be skipped. This does not apply if the  
EEPROM is reprogrammed without chip erasing the device.

Typical  
Characteristics  
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manu-  
facturing. All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins  
configured as inputs and with internal pull-ups enabled. All pins on Port F are pulled high  
externally. 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 •  
V
CC • 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 guaran-  
teed 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 dif-  
ferential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

Note:  
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 “1” to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instruc-  
tions will operate on all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and  
SBI instructions work with registers $00 to $1F only.
