2513F–AVR–12/03  
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.  
All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing  
two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock  
cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to  
ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.  
The ATmega162 provides the following features: 16K bytes of In-System Programmable  
Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 512 bytes EEPROM, 1K bytes SRAM, an  
external memory interface, 35 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working  
registers, a JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, On-chip Debugging support and pro-  
gramming, four flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external  
interrupts, two serial programmable USARTs, a programmable Watchdog Timer with  
Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port, and five software selectable power saving modes.  
The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and  
interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register con-  
tents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt  
or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the Asynchronous Timer continues to run,  
allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. In  
Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is  
sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low-power consumption. In  
Extended Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer con-  
tinue to run.  
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology.  
The On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System  
through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer, or  
by an On-chip Boot Program running on the AVR core. The Boot Program can use any  
interface to download the Application Program in the Application Flash memory. Soft-  
ware in the Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is  
updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU  
with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega162 is  
a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to  
many embedded control applications.  
The ATmega162 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development  
tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, In-Cir-  
cuit Emulators, and evaluation kits.  
ATmega161 and  
ATmega162  
Compatibility  
The ATmega162 is a highly complex microcontroller where the number of I/O locations  
supersedes the 64 I/O locations reserved in the AVR instruction set. To ensure back-  
ward compatibility with the ATmega161, all I/O locations present in ATmega161 have  
the same locations in ATmega162. Some additional I/O locations are added in an  
Extended I/O space starting from 0x60 to 0xFF, (i.e., in the ATmega162 internal RAM  
space). These locations can be reached by using LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD  
instructions only, not by using IN and OUT instructions. The relocation of the internal  
RAM space may still be a problem for ATmega161 users. Also, the increased number of  
Interrupt Vectors might be a problem if the code uses absolute addresses. To solve  
these problems, an ATmega161 compatibility mode can be selected by programming  
the fuse M161C. In this mode, none of the functions in the Extended I/O space are in  
use, so the internal RAM is located as in ATmega161. Also, the Extended Interrupt Vec-  
tors are removed. The ATmega162 is 100% pin compatible with ATmega161, and can  
replace the ATmega161 on current Printed Circuit Boards. However, the location of  
Fuse bits and the electrical characteristics differs between the two devices.

ATmega161 Compatibility  
Mode  
Programming the M161C will change the following functionality:  
The extended I/O map will be configured as internal RAM once the M161C Fuse is  
programmed.  
The timed sequence for changing the Watchdog Time-out period is disabled. See  
“Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page  
55 for details.  
The double buffering of the USART Receive Registers is disabled. See “AVR  
USART vs. AVR UART – Compatibility” on page 167 for details.  
Pin change interrupts are not supported (Control Registers are located in Extended  
I/O).  
One 16 bits Timer/Counter (Timer/Counter1) only. Timer/Counter3 is not accessible.  
Note that the shared UBRRHI Register in ATmega161 is split into two separate registers  
in ATmega162, UBRR0H and UBRR1H. The location of these registers will not be  
affected by the ATmega161 compatibility fuse.

Port A (PA7..PA0)  
Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each  
bit). The Port A output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink  
and source capability. 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. The Port  
A pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not  
running.  
Port A also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega162 as listed  
on page 71.  
Port B (PB7..PB0)  
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each  
bit). The Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink  
and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset  
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.  
Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega162 as listed  
on page 71.  
Port C (PC7..PC0)  
Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each  
bit). The Port C output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink  
and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a reset  
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running. If the JTAG interface is  
enabled, the pull-up resistors on pins PC7(TDI), PC5(TMS) and PC4(TCK) will be acti-  
vated even if a Reset occurs.  
Port C also serves the functions of the JTAG interface and other special features of the  
ATmega162 as listed on page 74.

on page 77.  
Port E is an 3-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each  
bit). The Port E output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink  
and source capability. As inputs, Port E pins that are externally pulled low will source  
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port E pins are tri-stated when a reset  
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.  
Port E also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega162 as listed  
on page 80.  
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will gener-

About Code Examples  
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various  
parts of the device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is  
included before compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit defini-  
tions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please  
confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.

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

In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture  
– with separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program  
memory are executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being exe-  
cuted, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept  
enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is In-  
System Reprogrammable Flash memory.  
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with  
a single clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)  
operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File,  
the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one  
clock cycle.  
7
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for  
Data Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these  
address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash Pro-  
gram memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register,  
described later in this section.  
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a con-  
stant and a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After  
an arithmetic operation, the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the  
result of the operation.  
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions,  
able to directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single  
16-bit word format. Every program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.  
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot Program section and  
the Application Program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock bits for write and  
read/write protection. The SPM instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory  
section must reside in the Boot Program section.  
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is  
stored on the Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and  
consequently the Stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the  
SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines  
or interrupts are executed). The Stack Pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O  
space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing  
modes supported in the AVR architecture.  
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.  
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional  
Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt  
Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their  
Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.  
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control  
Registers, SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as  
the Data Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F.  
ALU – Arithmetic Logic  
Unit  
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general  
purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between  
general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The  
ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-func-  
tions. Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier  
supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the “Instruc-  
tion Set” section for a detailed description.  
Status Register  
The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed  
arithmetic instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to  
perform conditional operations. Note that the Status Register is updated after all ALU  
operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases  
remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and  
more compact code.  
The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and  
restored when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.

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

General Purpose  
Register File  
The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC instruction set. In order to  
achieve the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are  
supported by the Register File:  
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input  
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input

Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers,  
and most of them are single cycle instructions.  
As shown in Figure 4, 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-pointer registers can be set to  
index any register in the file.

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed dis-

reference for details).  
Stack Pointer  
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for  
storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Regis-  
ter always points to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing  
from higher memory locations to lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack  
PUSH command decreases the Stack Pointer.  
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and 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 0x60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one  
when data is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by  
two when the return address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt.  
The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is popped from the Stack with the  
POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the Stack with  
return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.  
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The num-  
ber of bits actually used is implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some  
implementations of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this  
case, the SPH Register will not be present.

Instruction Execution  
Timing  
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The  
AVR CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock  
source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.  
Figure 6 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the  
Harvard architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelin-  
ing concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for  
functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Reset and Interrupt  
Handling  
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate  
Reset Vector each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All  
interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together  
with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.  
Depending on the Program Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled  
when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12 are programmed. This feature improves software  
security. See the section “Memory Programming” on page 230 for details.  
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset  
and Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 56.  
The list also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the  
address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0  
– the External Interrupt Request 0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start of  
the Boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL bit in the General Interrupt Control Register  
(GICR). Refer to “Interrupts” on page 56 for more information. The Reset Vector can  
12  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
also be moved to the start of the Boot Flash section by programming the BOOTRST  
Fuse, see “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-programming” on page 216.  
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts  
are disabled. The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested inter-  
rupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is  
automatically set when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.  
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that  
sets the Interrupt Flag. For these interrupts, the Program Counter is vectored to the  
actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware  
clears the corresponding Interrupt Flag. Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a  
logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the  
corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared, the Interrupt Flag will be set and remem-  
bered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or  
more interrupt conditions occur while the global interrupt enable bit is cleared, the corre-  
sponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global Interrupt Enable  
bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.  
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present.  
These interrupts do not necessarily have Interrupt Flags. If the interrupt condition disap-  
pears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.  
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and exe-  
cute one more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.  
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt rou-  
tine, nor restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by  
software.  
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately  
disabled. No interrupt will be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simulta-  
neously with the CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to  
avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence.  
Assembly Code Example  
in r16, SREG  
; store SREG value  
cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence  
sbi EECR, EEMWE  
sbi EECR, EEWE  
out SREG, r16  
; start EEPROM write  
; restore SREG value (I-bit)  
C Code Example  
char cSREG;  
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */  
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */  
_CLI();  
EECR |= (1<<EEMWE); /* start EEPROM write */  
EECR |= (1<<EEWE);  
SREG = cSREG; /* restore SREG value (I-bit) */  
13  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be  
executed before any pending interrupts, as shown in this example.  
Assembly Code Example  
sei  
; set global interrupt enable  
sleep ; enter sleep, waiting for interrupt  
; note: will enter sleep before any pending  
; interrupt(s)  
C Code Example  
_SEI(); /* set global interrupt enable */  
_SLEEP(); /* enter sleep, waiting for interrupt */  
/* note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s) */  
Interrupt Response Time  
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles  
minimum. After four clock cycles the program vector address for the actual interrupt  
handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the Program Counter is  
pushed onto the Stack. The vector is normally a jump to the interrupt routine, and this  
jump takes three clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle  
instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served. If an interrupt  
occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is  
increased by four clock cycles. This increase comes in addition to the start-up time from  
the selected sleep mode.  
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four  
clock cycles, the Program Counter (two bytes) is popped back from the Stack, the Stack  
Pointer is incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG is set.

Memories  
This section describes the different memories in the ATmega162. The AVR architecture  
has two main memory spaces, the Data Memory and the Program Memory space. In  
addition, the ATmega162 features an EEPROM Memory for data storage. All three  
memory spaces are linear and regular.  
In-System  
Reprogrammable Flash  
Program Memory  
The ATmega162 contains 16K bytes On-chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash mem-  
ory for program storage. Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the Flash is  
organized as 8K x 16. For software security, the Flash Program memory space is  
divided into two sections, Boot Program section and Application Program section.  
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The  
ATmega162 Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide, thus addressing the 8K program  
memory locations. The operation of Boot Program section and associated Boot Lock  
bits for software protection are described in detail in “Boot Loader Support – Read-  
While-Write Self-programming” on page 216. “Memory Programming” on page 230 con-  
tains a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading using the SPI pins or the  
JTAG interface.  
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see  
the LPM – Load Program Memory instruction description).  
Timing diagrams for instruction fetch and execution are presented in “Instruction Execu-  
tion Timing” on page 12.

SRAM Data Memory  
Figure 9 shows how the ATmega162 SRAM Memory is organized. Memory configura-  
tion B refers to the ATmega161 compatibility mode, configuration A to the non-  
compatible mode.  
The ATmega162 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be  
supported within the 64 location reserved in the Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions.  
For the Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and  
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used. The Extended I/O space does not exist when the  
ATmega162 is in the ATmega161 compatibility mode.  
In Normal mode, the first 1280 Data Memory locations address both the Register File,  
the I/O Memory, Extended I/O Memory, and the internal data SRAM. The first 32 loca-  
tions address the Register File, the next 64 location the standard I/O memory, then 160  
locations of Extended I/O memory, and the next 1024 locations address the internal  
data SRAM.  
In ATmega161 compatibility mode, the lower 1120 Data Memory locations address 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 1024 locations address the  
internal data SRAM.  
An optional external data SRAM can be used with the ATmega162. 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. The Register File, I/O, Extended I/O  
and Internal SRAM uses the occupies the lowest 1280 bytes in Normal mode, and the  
lowest 1120 bytes in the ATmega161 compatibility mode (Extended I/O not present), so  
when using 64KB (65,536 bytes) of External Memory, 64,256 Bytes of External Memory  
are available in Normal mode, and 64,416 Bytes in ATmega161 compatibility mode. See  
“External Memory Interface” on page 24 for details on how to take advantage of the  
external memory map.  
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 (PD7 and PD6) 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, LDD, STD,  
PUSH, and POP take one additional clock cycle. If the Stack is placed in external  
SRAM, interrupts, subroutine calls and returns take three clock cycles extra because the  
2-byte Program Counter is pushed and popped, and external memory access does not  
take advantage of the internal pipeline memory access. When external SRAM interface  
is used with wait-state, one-byte external access takes two, three, or four additional  
clock cycles for one, two, and three wait-states respectively. Interrupt, subroutine calls  
and returns will need five, seven, or nine clock cycles more than specified in the instruc-  
tion set manual for one, two, and three wait-states.  
The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Dis-  
placement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement, and Indirect with Post-increment. In  
the Register File, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.  
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.  
The Indirect with Displacement mode reaches 63 address locations from the base  
address given by the Y- or Z-register.  
16  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-  
increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or incremented.  
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 (+160) I/O Registers, and the 1024 bytes  
of internal data SRAM in the ATmega162 are all accessible through all these addressing  
modes. The Register File is described in “General Purpose Register File” on page 10.

EEPROM Data Memory  
The ATmega162 contains 512 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is organized as a sep-  
arate data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The EEPROM has an  
endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase cycles. The access between the EEPROM  
and the CPU is described in the following, specifying the EEPROM Address Registers,  
the EEPROM Data Register, and the EEPROM Control Register.  
“Memory Programming” on page 230 contains a detailed description on EEPROM Pro-  
gramming in SPI, JTAG, or Parallel Programming mode.  
EEPROM Read/Write Access  
The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.  
The write access time for the EEPROM is given in Table 1. A selftiming function, how-  
ever, lets the user software detect when the next byte can be written. If the user code  
contains instructions that write the EEPROM, some precautions must be taken. In  
heavily filtered power supplies, VCC is likely to rise or fall slowly on Power-up/down. This  
causes the device for some period of time to run at a voltage lower than specified as  
minimum for the clock frequency used. See “Preventing EEPROM Corruption” on page  
22 for details on how to avoid problems in these situations.  
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 read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles before the next  
instruction is executed. When the EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock  
cycles before the next instruction is executed.

• Bits 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega162 and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable  
Writing EERIE to one enables the EEPROM Ready Interrupt if the I bit in SREG is set.  
Writing EERIE to zero disables the interrupt. The EEPROM Ready interrupt generates a  
constant interrupt when EEWE is cleared.  
• 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, setting EEWE within four clock cycles will write data to the  
EEPROM at the selected address. If EEMWE is zero, setting EEWE will have no effect.  
When EEMWE has been written to one by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after  
four clock cycles. See the description of the EEWE bit for an 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 written to one to write the  
value into the EEPROM. The EEMWE bit must be written to one before a logical one is  
written to EEWE, otherwise no EEPROM write takes place. The following procedure  
should be followed when writing the EEPROM (the order of steps 3 and 4 is not  
essential):  
1. Wait until EEWE becomes zero.  
2. Wait until SPMEN in SPMCR becomes zero.  
3. Write new EEPROM address to EEAR (optional).  
4. Write new EEPROM data to EEDR (optional).  
5. Write a logical one to the EEMWE bit while writing a zero to EEWE in EECR.  
6. Within four clock cycles after setting EEMWE, write a logical one to EEWE.  
The EEPROM can not be programmed during a CPU write to the Flash memory. The  
software must check that the Flash programming is completed before initiating a new  
EEPROM write. Step 2 is only relevant if the software contains a Boot Loader allowing  
the CPU to program the Flash. If the Flash is never being updated by the CPU, step 2  
19  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
can be omitted. See “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-programming” on  
page 216 for details about boot programming.  
Caution: An interrupt between step 5 and step 6 will make the write cycle fail, since the  
EEPROM Master Write Enable will time-out. If an interrupt routine accessing the  
EEPROM is interrupting another EEPROM access, the EEAR or EEDR Register will be  
modified, causing the interrupted EEPROM access to fail. It is recommended to have  
the Global Interrupt Flag cleared during all the steps to avoid these problems.  
When the write access time has elapsed, the EEWE bit is cleared 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 written to a logic  
one to trigger the EEPROM read. The EEPROM read access takes one instruction, and  
the requested data is available immediately. When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is  
halted for four cycles before the next instruction is executed.  
The user should poll the EEWE bit before starting the read operation. If a write operation  
is in progress, it is neither possible to read the EEPROM, nor to change the EEAR  
Register.  
The calibrated Oscillator is used to time the EEPROM accesses. Table 1 lists the typical  
programming time for EEPROM access from the CPU.

The following code examples show one assembly and one C function for writing to the  
EEPROM. The examples assume that interrupts are controlled (e.g., by disabling inter-  
rupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during execution of these functions. The  
examples also assume that no Flash Boot Loader is present in the software. If such  
code is present, the EEPROM write function must also wait for any ongoing SPM com-  
mand to finish.

}
EEPROM Write During Power- When entering Power-down sleep mode while an EEPROM write operation is active, the  
down Sleep Mode  
EEPROM write operation will continue, and will complete before the write access time  
has passed. However, when the write operation is complete, the Oscillator continues  
running, and as a consequence, the device does not enter Power-down entirely. It is  
therefore recommended to verify that the EEPROM write operation is completed before  
entering Power-down.  
Preventing 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 EEPROM, and the same design solutions should  
be applied.  
An EEPROM data corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too  
low. First, a regular write sequence to the EEPROM requires a minimum voltage to  
operate correctly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the  
supply voltage is too low.  
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following this design  
recommendation:  
22  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage.  
This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD). If the detection  
level of the internal BOD does not match the needed detection level, an external low  
VCC Reset Protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is in  
progress, the write operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is  
sufficient.  
I/O Memory  
The I/O space definition of the ATmega162 is shown in “Register Summary” on page  
303.  
All ATmega162 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may  
be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions, transferring data  
between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O Registers  
within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI  
instructions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the  
SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the instruction set section for more details. When  
using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be  
used. When addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20  
must be added to these addresses. The ATmega162 is a complex microcontroller with  
more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location reserved in Opcode  
for the IN and OUT instructions. For the Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM,  
only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used. The Extended I/O  
space is replaced with SRAM locations when the ATmega162 is in the ATmega161  
compatibility mode.  
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed.  
Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written.  
Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI  
and SBI instructions will 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 0x00 to 0x1F only.  
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in later sections.

External Memory  
Interface  
With all the features the External Memory Interface provides, it is well suited to operate  
as an interface to memory devices such as external SRAM and FLASH, and peripherals  
such as LCD-display, A/D, and D/A. The main features are:  
Four Different Wait-state Settings (Including No Wait-state)  
Independent Wait-state Setting for Different External Memory Sectors (Configurable  
Sector Size)  
The Number of Bits Dedicated to Address High Byte is Selectable  
Bus Keepers on Data Lines to Minimize Current Consumption (Optional)  
Overview  
When the eXternal MEMory (XMEM) is enabled, address space outside the internal  
SRAM becomes available using the dedicated external memory pins (see Figure 1 on  
page 2, Table 29 on page 69, Table 35 on page 74, and Table 41 on page 80). The  
memory configuration is shown in Figure 11.

Using the External Memory  
Interface  
The interface consists of:  
AD7:0: Multiplexed low-order address bus and data bus  
A15:8: High-order address bus (configurable number of bits)  
ALE: Address latch enable  
RD: Read strobe.  
WR: Write strobe.

ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
The control bits for the External Memory Interface are located in three registers, the  
MCU Control Register – MCUCR, the Extended MCU Control Register – EMCUCR, and  
the Special Function IO Register – SFIOR.  
When the XMEM interface is enabled, it will override the settings in the Data Direction  
registers corresponding to the ports dedicated to the interface. For details about this port  
override, see the alternate functions in section “I/O-Ports” on page 62. The XMEM inter-  
face will autodetect whether an access is internal or external. If the access is external,  
the XMEM interface will output address, data, and the control signals on the ports  
according to Figure 13 (this figure shows the wave forms without wait-states). When  
ALE goes from high to low, there is a valid address on AD7:0. ALE is low during a data  
transfer. When the XMEM interface is enabled, also an internal access will cause activ-  
ity on address-, data- and ALE ports, but the RD and WR strobes will not toggle during  
internal access. When the External Memory Interface is disabled, the normal pin and  
data direction settings are used. Note that when the XMEM interface is disabled, the  
address space above the internal SRAM boundary is not mapped into the internal  
SRAM. Figure 12 illustrates how to connect an external SRAM to the AVR using an octal  
latch (typically “74x573” or equivalent) which is transparent when G is high.  
Address Latch Requirements Due to the high-speed operation of the XRAM interface, the address latch must be  
selected with care for system frequencies above 8 MHz @ 4V and 4 MHz @ 2.7V.  
When operating at conditions above these frequencies, the typical old style 74HC series  
latch becomes inadequate. The external memory interface is designed in compliance to  
the 74AHC series latch. However, most latches can be used as long they comply with  
the main timing parameters. The main parameters for the address latch are:  
D to Q propagation delay (tpd).  
Data setup time before G low (tsu).  
Data (address) hold time after G low (th).  
The external memory interface is designed to guaranty minimum address hold time after  
G is asserted low of th = 5 ns (refer to tLAXX_LD/tLLAXX_ST in Table 115 to Table 122 on  
page 271). The D to Q propagation delay (tpd) must be taken into consideration when  
calculating the access time requirement of the external component. The data setup time  
before G low (tsu) must not exceed address valid to ALE low (tAVLLC) minus PCB wiring  
delay (dependent on the capacitive load).

Pull-up and Bus Keeper  
The pull-up resistors on the AD7:0 ports may be activated if the corresponding Port reg-  
ister is written to one. To reduce power consumption in sleep mode, it is recommended  
to disable the pull-ups by writing the Port register to zero before entering sleep.  
The XMEM interface also provides a bus keeper on the AD7:0 lines. The Bus Keeper  
can be disabled and enabled in software as described in “Special Function IO Register –  
SFIOR” on page 30. When enabled, the Bus Keeper will keep the previous value on the  
AD7:0 bus while these lines are tri-stated by the XMEM interface.  
Timing  
External memory devices have various timing requirements. To meet these require-  
ments, the ATmega162 XMEM interface provides four different wait-states as shown in  
Table 3. It is important to consider the timing specification of the external memory  
device before selecting the wait-state. The most important parameters are the access  
time for the external memory in conjunction with the set-up requirement of the  
ATmega162. The access time for the external memory is defined to be the time from  
receiving the chip select/address until the data of this address actually is driven on the  
bus. The access time cannot exceed the time from the ALE pulse is asserted low until  
data must be stable during a read sequence (tLLRL+ tRLRH - tDVRH in Table 115 to Table  
122 on page 271). The different wait-states are set up in software. As an additional fea-  
ture, it is possible to divide the external memory space in two sectors with individual  
wait-state settings. This makes it possible to connect two different memory devices with  
different timing requirements to the same XMEM interface. For XMEM interface timing  
details, please refer to Figure 118 to Figure 121, and Table 115 to Table 122.  
Note that the XMEM interface is asynchronous and that the waveforms in the figures  
below are related to the internal system clock. The skew between the internal and exter-  
nal clock (XTAL1) is not guaranteed (it varies between devices, temperature, and supply  
voltage). Consequently, the XMEM interface is not suited for synchronous operation.

It is possible to configure different wait-states for different external memory addresses.  
The external memory address space can be divided in two sectors that have separate  
wait-state bits. The SRL2, SRL1, and SRL0 bits select the splitting of these sectors, see  
Table 2 and Figure 11. By default, the SRL2, SRL1, and SRL0 bits are set to zero and  
the entire external memory address space is treated as one sector. When the entire

Writing XMBK to one enables the Bus Keeper on the AD7:0 lines. When the Bus Keeper  
is enabled, AD7:0 will keep the last driven value on the lines even if the XMEM interface  
has tri-stated the lines. Writing XMBK to zero disables the Bus Keeper. XMBK is not  
qualified with SRE, so even if the XMEM interface is disabled, the bus keepers are still  
activated as long as XMBK is one.  
• Bit 6..3 – XMM2, XMM1, XMM0: External Memory High Mask  
When the External Memory is enabled, all Port C pins are used for the high address  
byte by default. If the full 60KB address space is not required to access the external  
memory, some, or all, Port C pins can be released for normal Port Pin function as  
described in Table 4. As described in “Using all 64KB Locations of External Memory” on  
page 32, it is possible to use the XMMn bits to access all 64KB locations of the external  
memory.

Since the external memory is mapped after the internal memory as shown in Figure 11,  
External Memory Smaller than the external memory is not addressed when addressing the first 1,280 bytes of data  
64 KB  
space. It may appear that the first 1,280 bytes of the external memory are inaccessible  
(external memory addresses 0x0000 to 0x04FF). However, when connecting an exter-  
nal memory smaller than 64 KB, for example 32 KB, these locations are easily accessed  
simply by addressing from address 0x8000 to 0x84FF. Since the External Memory  
Address bit A15 is not connected to the external memory, addresses 0x8000 to 0x84FF  
will appear as addresses 0x0000 to 0x04FF for the external memory. Addressing above  
address 0x84FF is not recommended, since this will address an external memory loca-  
tion that is already accessed by another (lower) address. To the Application software,  
the external 32 KB memory will appear as one linear 32 KB address space from 0x0500  
to 0x84FF. This is illustrated in Figure 17. Memory configuration B refers to the  
ATmega161 compatibility mode, configuration A to the non-compatible mode.

Using all 64KB Locations of  
External Memory  
Since the external memory is mapped after the internal memory as shown in Figure 11,  
only 64,256 Bytes of external memory are available by default (address space 0x0000  
to 0x05FF is reserved for internal memory). However, it is possible to take advantage of  
the entire external memory by masking the higher address bits to zero. This can be  
done by using the XMMn bits and control by software the most significant bits of the  
address. By setting Port C to output 0x00, and releasing the most significant bits for nor-  
mal Port Pin operation, the Memory Interface will address 0x0000 - 0x1FFF. See code  
example below.

System Clock and  
Clock Options  
Clock Systems and their Figure 18 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR and their distribution. All of  
the clocks need not be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the  
Distribution  
clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes, as  
described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 41. The clock systems  
are detailed below.

CPU clock – clkCPU  
I/O clock – clkI/O  
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR  
core. Examples of such modules are the General Purpose Register File, the Status Reg-  
ister and the data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the  
core from performing general operations and calculations.  
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counters, SPI, and  
USART. The I/O clock is also used by the External Interrupt module, but note that some  
external interrupts are detected by asynchronous logic, allowing such interrupts to be  
detected even if the I/O clock is halted.  
Flash clock – clkFLASH  
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually  
active simultaneously with the CPU clock.  
Asynchronous Timer clock –  
clkASY  
The Asynchronous Timer clock allows the Asynchronous Timer/Counter to be clocked  
directly from an external 32 kHz clock crystal. The dedicated clock domain allows using  
this Timer/Counter as a realtime counter even when the device is in sleep mode.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
Clock Sources  
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Flash Fuse bits as  
shown below. The clock from the selected source is input to the AVR clock generator,  
and routed to the appropriate modules.

Note:  
For all fuses “1” means unprogrammed while “0” means programmed.  
The various choices for each clocking option is given in the following sections. When the  
CPU wakes up from Power-down or Power-save, the selected clock source is used to  
time the start-up, ensuring stable Oscillator operation before instruction execution starts.  
When the CPU starts from Reset, there is an additional delay allowing the power to  
reach a stable level before commencing normal operation. The Watchdog Oscillator is  
used for timing this realtime part of the start-up time. The number of WDT Oscillator  
cycles used for each Time-out is shown in Table 6. The frequency of the Watchdog  
Oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in “ATmega162 Typical Characteristics” on  
page 274.

Default Clock Source  
Crystal Oscillator  
The device is shipped with CKSEL = “0010”, SUT = “10” and CKDIV8 programmed. The  
default clock source setting is therefore the Internal RC Oscillator with longest startup  
time and an initial system clock prescaling of 8. This default setting ensures that all  
users can make their desired clock source setting using an In-System or Parallel  
programmer.  
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 19. Either a quartz  
crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.  
C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value  
of the capacitors depends on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capac-  
itance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial guidelines for  
choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in Table 7. For ceramic resonators,  
the capacitor values given by the manufacturer should be used.

Notes: 1. These options should only be used when not operating close to the maximum fre-  
quency of the device, and only if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the  
application. These options are not suitable for crystals.  
2. These options are intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure fre-  
quency stability at start-up. They can also be used with crystals when not operating  
close to the maximum frequency of the device, and if frequency stability at start-up is  
not important for the application.  
Low-frequency Crystal  
Oscillator  
To use a 32.768 kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the Low-fre-  
quency Crystal Oscillator must be selected by setting the CKSEL Fuses to “0100”,  
“0101”, “0110” or “0111”. The crystal should be connected as shown in Figure 19. If  
CKSEL equals “0110” or “0111”, the internal capacitors on XTAL1 and XTAL2 are  
enabled, thereby removing the need for external capacitors. The internal capacitors  
have a nominal value of 10 pF.  
When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses (real  
time-out from Reset) and CKSEL0 (number of clock cycles) as shown in Table 9 and  
Table 10.

Calibrated Internal RC  
Oscillator  
The calibrated internal RC Oscillator provides a fixed 8.0 MHz clock. The frequency is  
nominal value at 3V and 25°C. If 8.0 MHz frequency exceed the specification of the  
device (depends on VCC), the CKDIV8 Fuse must be programmed in order to divide the  
internal frequency by 8 during start-up. See “System Clock Prescaler” on page 39 for  
more details. This clock may be selected as the system clock by programming the  
CKSEL Fuses as shown in Table 11. If selected, it will operate with no external compo-  
nents. During Reset, hardware loads the calibration byte into the OSCCAL Register and  
thereby automatically calibrates the RC Oscillator. At 3V and 25°C, this calibration gives  
a frequency within ± 10% of the nominal frequency. Using run-time calibration methods  
as described in application notes available at www.atmel.com/avr it is possible to  
achieve ± 2% accuracy at any given VCC and Temperature. When this Oscillator is used  
as the chip clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the Watchdog Timer and

This bit is reserved bit in the ATmega162, and will always read as zero.  
• Bits 6..0 – CAL6..0: Oscillator Calibration Value  
Writing the calibration byte to this address will trim the Internal Oscillator to remove pro-  
cess variations from the Oscillator frequency. This is done automatically during Chip  
Reset. When OSCCAL is zero, the lowest available frequency is chosen. Writing non-  
zero values to this register will increase the frequency of the Internal Oscillator. Writing  
0x7F to the register gives the highest available frequency. The calibrated Oscillator is  
used to time EEPROM and Flash access. If EEPROM or Flash is written, do not cali-  
brate to more than 10% above the nominal frequency. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash  
write may fail.

When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied  
clock frequency to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more  
than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. It is  
required to ensure that the MCU is kept in reset during such changes in the clock  
frequency.  
Note that the System Clock Prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of  
the internal clock frequency while still ensuring stable operation. Refer to “System Clock  
Prescaler” on page 39 for details.  
Clock output buffer  
When the CKOUT Fuse is programmed, the system clock will be output on PortB 0. This  
mode is suitable when chip clock is used to drive other circuits on the system. The clock  
38  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
will be output also during Reset and the normal operation of PortB will be overridden  
when the fuse is programmed. Any clock sources, including Internal RC Oscillator, can  
be selected when PortB 0 serves as clock output.  
If the system clock prescaler is used, it is the divided system clock that is output when  
the CKOUT Fuse is programmed. See “System Clock Prescaler” on page 39. for a  
description of the system clock prescaler.  
Timer/Counter Oscillator For AVR microcontrollers with Timer/Counter Oscillator pins (TOSC1 and TOSC2), the  
crystal is connected directly between the pins. The Oscillator provides internal capaci-  
tors on TOSC1 and TOSC2, thereby removing the need for external capacitors. The  
internal capacitors have a nominal value of 10 pF. The Oscillator is optimized for use  
with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal. Applying an external clock source to TOSC1 is not  
recommended.  
System Clock Prescaler  
The ATmega162 system clock can be divided by setting the Clock Prescale Register –  
CLKPR. This feature can be used to decrease power consumption when the require-  
ment for processing power is low. This can be used with all clock source options, and it  
will affect the clock frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals. clkI/O, clkCPU  
,
and clkFLASH are divided by a factor as shown in Table 15. Note that the clock frequency  
of clkASY (asynchronously Timer/Counter) only will be scaled if the Timer/Counter is  
clocked synchronously.

• Bit 7 – CLKPCE: Clock Prescaler Change Enable  
The CLKPCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKPS bits. CLK-  
PCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when CLKPS is written.  
Setting the CLKPCE bit will disable interrupts, as explained in the CLKPS description  
below.  
• Bits 3..0 – CLKPS3..0: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0  
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal  
system clock. These bits can be written run-time to vary the clock frequency to suit the  
application requirements. As the divider divides the master clock input to the MCU, the  
speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used. The divi-  
sion factors are given in Table 15.  
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a special write procedure must be  
followed to change the CLKPS bits:  
1. Write the Clock Prescaler Change Enable (CLKPCE) bit to one and all other bits  
in CLKPR to zero.  
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS while writing a zero to  
CLKPCE.  
Caution: An interrupt between step 1 and step 2 will make the timed sequence fail. It is  
recommended to have the Global Interrupt Flag cleared during these steps to avoid this  
problem.  
39  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
The CKDIV8 Fuse determines the initial value of the CLKPS bits. If CKDIV8 is unpro-  
grammed, the CLKPS bits will be reset to “0000”. If CKDIV8 is programmed, CLKPS bits  
are reset to “0011”, giving a division factor of 8 at start up. This feature should be used if  
the selected clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of the  
device at the present operating conditions. Note that any value can be written to the  
CLKPS bits regardless of the CKDIV8 Fuse setting. The Application software must  
ensure that a sufficient division factor is chosen if the selected clock source has a higher  
frequency than the maximum frequency of the device at the present operating condi-  
tions. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse programmed.

Power Management  
and Sleep Modes  
Sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU, thereby  
saving power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the  
power consumption to the application’s requirements.  
To enter any of the five sleep modes, the SE bit in MCUCR must be written to logic one  
and a SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM2 bit in MCUCSR, the SM1 bit in  
MCUCR, and the SM0 bit in the EMCUCR Register select which sleep mode (Idle,  
Power-down, Power-save, Standby, or Extended Standby) will be activated by the  
SLEEP instruction. See Table 16 for a summary. If an enabled interrupt occurs while the  
MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then halted for four cycles in  
addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from  
the instruction following SLEEP. The contents of the Register File and SRAM are unal-  
tered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a Reset occurs during sleep mode, the  
MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.  
Figure 18 on page 33 presents the different clock systems in the ATmega162, and their  
distribution. The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode.

Idle Mode  
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 000, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter  
Idle mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the SPI, USART, Analog Comparator,  
Timer/Counters, Watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep  
mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, while allowing the other clocks to run.  
Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as  
internal ones like the Timer Overflow and USART Transmit 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 Sta-  
tus Register – ACSR. This will reduce power consumption in Idle mode.  
Power-down Mode  
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 010, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter  
Power-down mode. In this mode, the external Oscillator is stopped, while the external  
interrupts and the Watchdog continue operating (if enabled). Only an External Reset, a  
Watchdog Reset, a Brown-out Reset, an External Level Interrupt on INT0 or INT1, an  
external interrupt on INT2, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep  
mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules  
only.  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down mode, the  
changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. Refer to “External Inter-  
rupts” on page 83 for details.  
When waking up from Power-down mode, there is a delay from the wake-up condition  
occurs until the wake-up becomes effective. This allows the clock to restart and become  
stable after having been stopped. The wake-up period is defined by the same CKSEL  
Fuses that define the Reset Time-out period, as described in “Clock Sources” on page  
34.

ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Power-save Mode  
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 011, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter  
Power-save mode. This mode is identical to Power-down, with one exception:  
If Timer/Counter2 is clocked asynchronously, i.e., the AS2 bit in ASSR is set,  
Timer/Counter2 will run during sleep. The device can wake up from either Timer Over-  
flow or Output Compare event from Timer/Counter2 if the corresponding  
Timer/Counter2 interrupt enable bits are set in TIMSK, and the Global Interrupt Enable  
bit in SREG is set.  
If the Asynchronous Timer is NOT clocked asynchronously, Power-down mode is rec-  
ommended instead of Power-save mode because the contents of the registers in the  
Asynchronous Timer should be considered undefined after wake-up in Power-save  
mode if AS2 is 0.  
This sleep mode basically halts all clocks except clkASY, allowing operation only of asyn-  
chronous modules, including Timer/Counter 2 if clocked asynchronously.  
Standby Mode  
When the SM2..0 bits are 110 and an external crystal/resonator clock option is selected,  
the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Standby mode. This mode is identical to  
Power-down with the exception that the main Oscillator is kept running. From Standby  
mode, the device wakes up in six clock cycles.  
Extended Standby Mode When the SM2..0 bits are 111 and an external crystal/resonator clock option is selected,  
the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Extended Standby mode. This mode is  
identical to Power-save mode with the exception that the main Oscillator is kept running.  
From Extended Standby mode, the device wakes up in six clock cycles.

Minimizing Power  
Consumption  
There are several issues to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in  
an AVR controlled system. In general, sleep modes should be used as much as possi-  
ble, and the sleep mode should be selected so that as few as possible of the device’s  
functions are operating. All functions not needed should be disabled. In particular, the  
following modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest  
possible power consumption.  
Analog Comparator  
When entering Idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not needed. In  
the other sleep modes, the Analog Comparator is automatically disabled. However, if  
the Analog Comparator is set up to use the Internal Voltage Reference as input, the  
Analog Comparator should be disabled in all sleep modes. Otherwise, the Internal Volt-  
age Reference will be enabled, independent of sleep mode. Refer to “Analog  
Comparator” on page 194 for details on how to configure the Analog Comparator.  
Brown-out Detector  
If the Brown-out Detector is not needed in the application, this module should be turned  
off. If the Brown-out Detector is enabled by the BODLEVEL Fuses, it will be enabled in  
all sleep modes, and hence, always consume power. In the deeper sleep modes, this  
will contribute significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to “Brown-out Detec-  
tion” on page 49 for details on how to configure the Brown-out Detector.  
Internal Voltage Reference  
The Internal Voltage Reference will be enabled when needed by the Brown-out Detector  
or the Analog Comparator. If these modules are disabled as described in the sections  
above, the internal voltage reference will be disabled and it will not be consuming  
power. When turned on again, the user must allow the reference to start up before the  
output is used. If the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used imme-  
diately. Refer to “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 51 for details on the start-up time.  
Watchdog Timer  
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, this module should be turned off.  
If the Watchdog Timer is enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes, and hence,  
always consume power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to  
the total current consumption. Refer to “Watchdog Timer” on page 51 for details on how  
to configure the Watchdog Timer.  
Port Pins  
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power.  
The most important thing is to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes  
where the I/O clock (clkI/O) is stopped, the input buffers of the device will be disabled.  
This ensures that no power is consumed by the input logic when not needed. In some  
cases, the input logic is needed for detecting wake-up conditions, and it will then be  
enabled. Refer to the section “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 66 for  
details on which pins are enabled. If the input buffer is enabled and the input signal is  
left floating or have an analog signal level close to VCC/2, the input buffer will use exces-  
sive power.  
JTAG Interface and  
On-chip Debug System  
If the On-chip debug system is enabled by the OCDEN Fuse and the chip enter Power  
down or Power save sleep mode, the main clock source remains enabled. In these  
sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current consumption. There are  
three alternative ways to avoid this:  
Disable OCDEN Fuse.  
Disable JTAGEN Fuse.  
Write one to the JTD bit in MCUCSR.  
The TDO pin is left floating when the JTAG interface is enabled while the JTAG TAP  
controller is not shifting data. If the hardware connected to the TDO pin does not pull up  
44

the logic level, power consumption will increase. Note that the TDI pin for the next  
device in the scan chain contains a pull-up that avoids this problem. Writing the JTD bit  
in the MCUCSR register to one or leaving the JTAG fuse unprogrammed disables the  
JTAG interface.  
45  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
System Control and  
Reset  
Resetting the AVR  
During Reset, all I/O Registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts exe-  
cution from the Reset Vector. The instruction placed at the Reset Vector 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. This is also the case if the Reset Vector is in the  
Application section while the Interrupt Vectors are in the Boot section or vice versa. The  
circuit diagram in Figure 21 shows the Reset Logic. Table 18 defines the electrical  
parameters of the reset circuitry.  
The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source  
goes active. This does not require any clock source to be running.  
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the  
Internal Reset. This allows the power to reach a stable level before normal operation  
starts. The Time-out period of the delay counter is defined by the user through the  
CKSEL Fuses. The different selections for the delay period are presented in “Clock  
Sources” on page 34.  
Reset Sources  
The ATmega162 has five sources of reset:  
Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on  
Reset threshold (VPOT).  
External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for  
longer than the minimum pulse length.  
Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and  
the Watchdog is enabled.  
Brown-out Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the  
Brown-out Reset threshold (VBOT) and the Brown-out Detector is enabled. The  
device is guaranteed to operate at maximum frequency for the VCC voltage down to  
VBOT. VBOT must be set to the corresponding minimum voltage of the device (i.e.,  
minimum VBOT for ATmega162V is 1.8V).  
JTAG AVR Reset. The MCU is reset as long as there is a logic one in the Reset  
Register, one of the scan chains of the JTAG system. Refer to the section “IEEE  
1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-scan” on page 203 for details.

Power-on Reset  
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip detection circuit. The detec-  
tion level is defined in Table 18. The POR is activated whenever VCC is below the  
detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as to  
detect a failure in supply voltage.  
A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is Reset from Power-on.  
Reaching the Power-on Reset threshold voltage invokes the delay counter, which deter-  
mines how long the device is kept in RESET after VCC rise. The RESET signal is  
activated again, without any delay, when VCC decreases below the detection level.

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

signal reaches the Reset Threshold Voltage – VRST on its positive edge, the delay  
counter starts the MCU after the Time-out period tTOUT has expired.

Brown-out Detection  
ATmega162 has an On-chip Brown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the VCC  
level during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the  
BOD can be selected by the BODLEVEL Fuses. The trigger level has a hysteresis to  
ensure spike free Brown-out Detection. The hysteresis on the detection level should be  
interpreted as VBOT+ = VBOT + VHYST/2 and VBOT- = VBOT - VHYST/2.

Notes: 1. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For  
devices where this is the case, the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the  
production test. This guarantees that a Brown-out Reset will occur before VCC drops  
to a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed.  
This test is performed using BODLEVEL = 110 for ATmega162V, BODLEVEL = 101  
for ATmega162L, and BODLEVEL = 100 for ATmega162.

When the BOD is enabled and VCC decreases to a value below the trigger level (VBOT- in  
Figure 25), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When VCC increases above  
the trigger level (VBOT+ in Figure 25), the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-  
out period tTOUT has expired.  
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in VCC if the voltage stays below the trigger level  
for longer than tBOD given in Table 18.

To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and  
then Reset the MCUCSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared  
before another reset occurs, the source of the Reset can be found by examining the  
Reset Flags.  
Internal Voltage  
Reference  
ATmega162 features an internal bandgap reference. This reference is used for Brown-  
out Detection, and it can be used as an input to the Analog Comparator.  
Voltage Reference Enable  
Signals and Start-up Time  
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used.  
The start-up time is given in Table 21. To save power, the reference is not always turned  
on. The reference is on during the following situations:  
1. When the BOD is enabled (by programming the BODLEVEL Fuses).  
2. When the bandgap reference is connected to the Analog Comparator (by setting  
the ACBG bit in ACSR).  
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACBG bit, the user must always  
allow the reference to start up before the output from the Analog Comparator is used. To  
reduce power consumption in Power-down mode, the user can avoid the two conditions  
above to ensure that the reference is turned off before entering Power-down mode.

Watchdog Timer  
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from a separate On-chip Oscillator which runs at  
1 MHz. This is the typical frequency at VCC = 5V. See characterization data for typical  
values at other VCC levels. By controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog  
Reset interval can be adjusted as shown in Table 23 on page 53. The WDR – Watchdog  
Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when  
it is disabled and when a Chip Reset occurs. Eight different clock cycle periods can be  
selected to determine the reset period. If the reset period expires without another  
Watchdog Reset, the ATmega162 resets and executes from the Reset Vector. For tim-  
ing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to page 53.  
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out  
period, 3 different safety levels are selected by the Fuses M161C and WDTON as  
51  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
shown in Table 22. Safety level 0 corresponds to the setting in ATmega161. There is no  
restriction on enabling the WDT in any of the safety levels. Refer to “Timed Sequences  
for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 55 for details.

• Bits 7..5 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega162 and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 4 – WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable  
This bit must be set when the WDE bit is written to logic zero. Otherwise, the Watchdog  
will not be disabled. Once written to one, hardware will clear this bit after four clock  
cycles. Refer to the description of the WDE bit for a Watchdog disable procedure. In  
Safety Levels 1 and 2, this bit must also be set when changing the prescaler bits. See  
“Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 55.  
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable  
When the WDE is written to logic one, the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is  
written to logic zero, the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared

if the WDCE bit has logic level one. To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the follow-  
ing procedure must be followed:  
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be  
written to WDE even though it is set to one before the disable operation starts.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write a logic 0 to WDE. This disables the  
Watchdog.  
In safety level 2, it is not possible to disable the Watchdog Timer, even with the algo-  
rithm described above. See “Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the  
Watchdog Timer” on page 55.  
• 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

Timed Sequences for  
Changing the  
The sequence for changing configuration differs slightly between the three safety levels.  
Separate procedures are described for each level.  
Configuration of the  
Watchdog Timer  
Safety Level 0  
This mode is compatible with the Watchdog operation found in ATmega161. The Watch-  
dog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit to one without  
any restriction. The Time-out period can be changed at any time without restriction. To  
disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the procedure described on page 52 (WDE bit  
description) must be followed.  
Safety Level 1  
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the  
WDE bit to one without any restriction. A timed sequence is needed when changing the  
Watchdog Time-out period or disabling an enabled Watchdog Timer. To disable an  
enabled Watchdog Timer, and/or changing the Watchdog Time-out, the following proce-  
dure must be followed:  
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be  
written to WDE regardless of the previous value of the WDE bit.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operation, write the WDE and WDP  
bits as desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared.  
Safety Level 2  
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read  
as one. A timed sequence is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To  
change the Watchdog Time-out, the following procedure must be followed:  
1. In the same operation, write a logical one to WDCE and WDE. Even though the  
WDE always is set, the WDE must be written to one to start the timed sequence.  
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operation, write the WDP bits as  
desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared. The value written to the WDE bit is  
irrelevant.

Interrupts  
This section describes the specifics of the interrupt handling as performed in  
ATmega162. For a general explanation of the AVR interrupt handling, refer to “Reset  
and Interrupt Handling” on page 12. Table 24 shows the interrupt table when the com-  
patibility fuse (M161C) is unprogrammed, while Table 25 shows the interrupt table when  
M161C Fuse is programmed. All assembly code examples in this sections are using the  
interrupt table when the M161C Fuse is unprogrammed.

Notes: 1. When the BOOTRST Fuse is programmed, the device will jump to the Boot Loader  
address at reset, see “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-programming”  
on page 216.  
2. When the IVSEL bit in GICR is set, Interrupt Vectors will be moved to the start of the  
Boot Flash section. The address of each Interrupt Vector will then be the address in  
this table added to the start address of the Boot Flash section.

Table 26 shows Reset and Interrupt Vectors placement for the various combinations of  
BOOTRST and IVSEL settings. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the  
Interrupt Vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these loca-  
tions. This is also the case if the Reset Vector is in the Application section while the  
Interrupt Vectors are in the Boot section or vice versa.

• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select  
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the  
Flash memory. When this bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the begin-  
ning of the Boot Loader section of the Flash. The actual address of the start of the Boot  
Flash section is determined by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the section “Boot Loader  
Support – Read-While-Write Self-programming” on page 216 for details. To avoid unin-  
tentional changes of Interrupt Vector tables, a special write procedure must be followed  
to change the IVSEL bit:  
1. Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one.  
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE.  
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are  
disabled in the cycle IVCE is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction fol-  
lowing the write to IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, interrupts remain disabled for four  
cycles. The I-bit in the Status Register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.  
Note:  
If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is pro-  
grammed, interrupts are disabled while executing from the Application section. If  
Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Application section and Boot Lock bit BLB12 is pro-  
gramed, interrupts are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to  
the section “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-programming” on page 216  
for details on Boot Lock bits.  
• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable  
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is  
cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the  
60  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03

I/O-Ports  
Introduction  
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital  
I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without uninten-  
tionally changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The  
same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling  
of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive  
characteristics with both high sink and source capability. The pin driver is strong enough  
to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors  
with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both  
VCC and Ground as indicated in Figure 28. Refer to “Electrical Characteristics” on page  
263 for a complete list of parameters.

Pxn  
Logic  
Cpin  
See figure  
"General Digital I/O" for  
details  
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case  
“x” represents the numbering letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit  
number. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form  
must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally  
as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers and bit locations are listed in “Register Descrip-  
tion for I/O-Ports” on page 81.  
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data  
Register – PORTx, Data Direction Register – DDRx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The  
Port Input Pins I/O location is read only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction  
Register are read/write. In addition, the Pull-up Disable – PUD bit in SFIOR disables the  
pull-up function for all pins in all ports when set.  
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in “Ports as General Digital I/O” on  
page 63. Most port pins are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral fea-  
tures on the device. How each alternate function interferes with the port pin is described  
in “Alternate Port Functions” on page 67. Refer to the individual module sections for a  
full description of the alternate functions.  
Note that enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use  
of the other pins in the port as general digital I/O.

Configuring the Pin  
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in  
“Register Description for I/O-Ports” on page 81, the DDxn bits are accessed at the  
DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits at the PORTx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at  
the PINx I/O address.  
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written  
logic one, Pxn is configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is config-  
ured as an input pin.  
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an input pin, the pull-up  
resistor is activated. To switch the pull-up resistor off, PORTxn has to be written logic  
zero or the pin has to be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when a  
reset condition becomes active, even if no clocks are running.  
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is  
driven high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an out-  
put pin, the port pin is driven low (zero).  
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn,  
PORTxn} = 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled ({DDxn, PORTxn} =  
0b01) or output low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) must occur. Normally, the pull-up  
63  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
enabled state is fully acceptable, as a high-impedant environment will not notice the dif-  
ference between a strong high driver and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in  
the SFIOR Register can be set to disable all pull-ups in all ports.  
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The  
user must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state  
({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b11) as an intermediate step.  
Table 27 summarizes the control signals for the pin value.

Reading the Pin Value  
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through  
the PINxn Register bit. As shown in Figure 29, the PINxn Register bit and the preceding  
latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin  
changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. Figure  
30 shows a timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied  
pin value. The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min  
respectively.

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock.  
The latch is closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high,  
as indicated by the shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is  
latched when the system clock goes low. It is clocked into the PINxn Register at the suc-  
ceeding positive clock edge. As indicated by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single  
signal transition on the pin will be delayed between ½ and 1½ system clock period  
depending upon the time of assertion.  
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as  
indicated in Figure 31. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive  
edge of the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is one system  
clock period.

The following code example shows how to set port B pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and  
define the port pins from 4 to 7 as input with pull-ups assigned to port pins 6 and 7. The  
resulting pin values are read back again, but as previously discussed, a nop instruction  
is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.

/* Insert nop for synchronization*/  
_NOP();  
/* Read port pins */  
i = PINB;  
...  
Note:  
1. For the assembly program, two temporary registers are used to minimize the time  
from pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1, 6, and 7, until the direction bits are correctly set,  
defining bit 2 and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as strong high drivers.  
Digital Input Enable and Sleep As shown in Figure 29, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the input of  
Modes  
the Schmitt Trigger. The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep  
Controller in Power-down mode, Power-save mode, Standby mode, and Extended  
Standby mode to avoid high power consumption if some input signals are left floating, or  
have an analog signal level close to VCC/2.  
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as External Interrupt pins. If the External  
Interrupt Request is not enabled, SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also  
overridden by various other alternate functions as described in “Alternate Port Func-  
tions” on page 67.  
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an Asynchronous External Interrupt pin config-  
ured as “Interrupt on Rising Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the  
external interrupt is not enabled, the corresponding External Interrupt Flag will be set  
when resuming from the above mentioned sleep modes, as the clamping in these sleep  
modes produces the requested logic change.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Unconnected pins  
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined  
level. Even though most of the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as  
described above, floating inputs should be avoided to reduce current consumption in all  
other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (Reset, Active mode and Idle mode).  
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal  
pull-up. In this case, the pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption  
during reset is important, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or pull-down.  
Connecting unused pins directly to VCC or GND is not recommended, since this may  
cause excessive currents if the pin is accidentally configured as an output.  
Alternate Port Functions Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure  
32 shows how the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 29 can be overrid-  
den by alternate functions. The overriding signals may not be present in all port pins, but  
the figure serves as a generic description applicable to all port pins in the AVR micro-  
controller family.

The alternate pin configuration is as follows:  
• SCK – Port B, Bit 7  
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 DDB7.  
When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
DDB7. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be con-  
trolled by the PORTB7 bit.  
• MISO – Port B, Bit 6  
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  
DDB6. When the SPI is enabled as a Slave, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
DDB6. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be con-  
trolled by the PORTB6 bit.  
• MOSI – Port B, Bit 5  
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 DDB5.  
When the SPI is enabled as a Master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by  
DDB5. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be con-  
trolled by the PORTB5 bit.  
• SS/OC3B – Port B, Bit 4  
SS: Slave Select input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is configured as an  
input regardless of the setting of DDB4. 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 con-  
trolled by DDB4. When the pin is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be  
controlled by the PORTB4 bit.  
71  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
OC3B, Output Compare Match B output: The PB4 pin can serve as an external output  
for the Timer/Counter3 Output Compare B. The pin has to be configured as an output  
(DDB4 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC3B pin is also the output pin for the PWM  
mode timer function.  
• AIN1/TXD1 – Port B, Bit 3  
AIN1, Analog Comparator Negative input. Configure the port pin as input with the inter-  
nal pull-up switched off to avoid the digital port function from interfering with the function  
of the Analog Comparator.  
TXD1, Transmit Data (Data output pin for USART1). When the USART1 Transmitter is  
enabled, this pin is configured as an output regardless of the value of DDB3.  
• AIN0/RXD1 – Port B, Bit 2  
AIN0, Analog Comparator Positive Input. Configure the port pin as input with the internal  
pull-up switched off to avoid the digital port function from interfering with the function of  
the Analog Comparator.  
RXD1, Receive Data (Data input pin for USART1). When the USART1 Receiver is  
enabled this pin is configured as an input regardless of the value of DDB2. When the  
USART1 forces this pin to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTB2  
bit.  
• T1/OC2 – Port B, Bit 1  
T1, Timer/Counter1 Counter Source.  
OC2, Output Compare Match output: The PB1 pin can serve as an external output for  
the Timer/Counter2 Compare Match. The PB1 pin has to be configured as an output  
(DDB1 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC2 pin is also the output pin for the PWM  
mode timer function.  
• T0/OC0 – Port B, Bit 0  
T0, Timer/Counter0 counter source.  
OC0, Output Compare Match output: The PB0 pin can serve as an external output for  
the Timer/Counter0 Compare Match. The PB0 pin has to be configured as an output  
(DDB0 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC0 pin is also the output pin for the PWM  
mode timer function.  
clkI/O, Divided System Clock: The divided system clock can be output on the PB0 pin.  
The divided system clock will be output if the CKOUT Fuse is programmed, regardless  
of the PORTB0 and DDB0 settings. It will also be output during reset.  
Table 33 and Table 34 relate the alternate functions of Port B to the overriding signals  
shown in Figure 32 on page 67. SPI MSTR INPUT and SPI SLAVE OUTPUT constitute  
the MISO signal, while MOSI is divided into SPI MSTR OUTPUT and SPI SLAVE

RXD0 (USART0 Input Pin)  
The alternate pin configuration is as follows:  
• RD – Port D, Bit 7  
RD is the external data memory read control strobe.  
• WR – Port D, Bit 6  
WR is the external data memory write control strobe.  
• TOSC2/OC1A – Port D, Bit 5  
TOSC2, Timer Oscillator pin 2: When the AS2 bit in ASSR is set (one) to enable asyn-  
chronous clocking of Timer/Counter2, pin PD5 is disconnected from the port, and  
becomes the inverting output of the Oscillator amplifier. In this mode, a crystal Oscillator  
is connected to this pin, and the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.  
OC1A, Output Compare Match A output: The PD5 pin can serve as an external output  
for the Timer/Counter1 Output Compare A. The pin has to be configured as an output  
(DDD5 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1A pin is also the output pin for the  
PWM mode timer function.  
77  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
• TOSC1/XCK0/OC3A – Port D, Bit 4  
TOSC1, Timer Oscillator pin 1: When the AS2 bit in ASSR is set (one) to enable asyn-  
chronous clocking of Timer/Counter2, pin PD4 is disconnected from the port, and  
becomes the input of the inverting Oscillator Amplifier. In this mode, a crystal Oscillator  
is connected to this pin, and the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.  
XCK0, USART0 External Clock: The Data Direction Register (DDD4) controls whether  
the clock is output (DDD4 set (one)) or input (DDD4 cleared (zero)). The XCK0 pin is  
active only when USART0 operates in Synchronous mode.  
OC3A, Output Compare Match A output: The PD4 pin can serve as an external output  
for the Timer/Counter1 Output Compare A. The pin has to be configured as an output  
(DDD4 set (one)) to serve this function. The OC4A pin is also the output pin for the  
PWM mode timer function.  
• INT1/ICP3 – Port D, Bit 3  
INT1, External Interrupt Source 1: The PD3 pin can serve as an external interrupt  
source.  
ICP3, Input Capture Pin: The PD3 pin can act as an Input Capture pin for  
Timer/Counter3.  
• INT0/XCK1 – Port D, Bit 2  
INT0, External Interrupt Source 0: The PD2 pin can serve as an external interrupt  
source.  
XCK1, USART1 External Clock: The Data Direction Register (DDD2) controls whether  
the clock is output (DDD2 set (one)) or input (DDD2 cleared (zero)). The XCK1 pin is  
active only when USART1 operates in Synchronous mode.

External Interrupts  
The External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0, INT1, INT2 pin, or any of the  
PCINT15..0 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT2..0  
or PCINT15..0 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of generating  
a software interrupt. The External Interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge  
or a low level (INT2 is only an edge triggered interrupt). This is set up as indicated in the  
specification for the MCU Control Register – MCUCR and Extended MCU Control Reg-  
ister – EMCUCR. When the external interrupt is enabled and is configured as level  
triggered (only INT0/INT1), the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low. The  
pin change interrupt PCI1 will trigger if any enabled PCINT15..8 pin toggles. Pin change  
interrupts PCI0 will trigger if any enabled PCINT7..0 pin toggles. The PCMSK1 and  
PCMSK0 Registers control which pins contribute to the pin change interrupts. Note that  
recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 and INT1 requires the presence of  
an I/O clock, described in “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 33. Low level  
interrupts on INT0/INT1, the edge interrupt on INT2, and Pin change interrupts on  
PCINT15..0 are detected asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can be used  
for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode. The I/O clock is halted  
in all sleep modes except Idle mode.  
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down 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. 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 “Electrical Char-  
acteristics” on page 263. The MCU will wake up if the input has the required level during  
this sampling or if it is held until the end of the start-up time. The start-up time is defined  
by the SUT Fuses as described in “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 33. If the  
level is sampled twice by the Watchdog Oscillator clock but disappears before the end  
of the start-up time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The  
required level must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake up to trigger  
the level interrupt.

longer than one clock period will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaran-

• Bit 0 – ISC2: Interrupt Sense Control 2  
The asynchronous External Interrupt 2 is activated by the external pin INT2 if the SREG  
I-bit and the corresponding interrupt mask in GICR are set. If ISC2 is cleared (zero), a  
falling edge on INT2 activates the interrupt. If ISC2 is set (one), a rising edge on INT2  
activates the interrupt. Edges on INT2 are registered asynchronously. Pulses on INT2  
wider than the minimum pulse width given in Table 45 will generate an interrupt. Shorter  
pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. When changing the ISC2 bit, an  
interrupt can occur. Therefore, it is recommended to first disable INT2 by clearing its  
Interrupt Enable bit in the GICR Register. Then, the ISC2 bit can be changed. Finally,  
the INT2 Interrupt Flag should be cleared by writing a logical one to its Interrupt Flag bit  
(INTF2) in the GIFR Register before the interrupt is re-enabled.

• Bit 7 – INT1: External Interrupt Request 1 Enable  
When the INT1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one),  
the external pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control1 bits 1/0 (ISC11 and  
ISC10) in the MCU general Control Register (MCUCR) define whether the external  
interrupt is activated on rising and/or falling edge of the INT1 pin or level sensed. Activity  
on the pin will cause an interrupt request even if INT1 is configured as an output. The  
corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt Request 1 is executed from the INT1 Inter-  
rupt Vector.  
• Bit 6 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable  
When the INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one),  
the external pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control0 bits 1/0 (ISC01 and  
ISC00) in the MCU general Control Register (MCUCR) define whether the external  
interrupt is activated on rising and/or falling edge of the INT0 pin or level sensed. Activity  
on the pin will cause an interrupt request even if INT0 is configured as an output. The  
corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt Request 0 is executed from the INT0 Inter-  
rupt Vector.  
• Bit 5 – INT2: External Interrupt Request 2 Enable  
When the INT2 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one),  
the external pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control2 bit (ISC2) in the  
Extended MCU Control Register (EMCUCR) defines whether the external interrupt is  
activated on rising or falling edge of the INT2 pin. Activity on the pin will cause an inter-  
rupt request even if INT2 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of  
External Interrupt Request 2 is executed from the INT2 Interrupt Vector.  
• Bit 4 – PCIE1: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 1  
When the PCIE1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one),  
pin change interrupt 1 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT15..8 pin will  
cause an interrupt. The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is exe-  
cuted from the PCI1 Interrupt Vector. PCINT15..8 pins are enabled individually by the  
PCMSK1 Register.  
• Bit 3 – PCIE0: Pin Change Interrupt Enable 0  
When the PCIE0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one),  
pin change interrupt 0 is enabled. Any change on any enabled PCINT7..0 pin will cause  
an interrupt. The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed  
from the PCI0 Interrupt Vector. PCINT7..0 pins are enabled individually by the PCMSK0  
Register.

• Bit 7 – INTF1: External Interrupt Flag 1  
When an edge or logic change on the INT1 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF1  
becomes set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the INT1 bit in GICR are set (one), the MCU  
will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt  
routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it.  
This flag is always cleared when INT1 is configured as a level interrupt.  
• Bit 6 – INTF0: External Interrupt Flag 0  
When an edge or logic change on the INT0 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF0  
becomes set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the INT0 bit in GICR are set (one), the MCU  
will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt  
routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it.  
This flag is always cleared when INT0 is configured as a level interrupt.  
• Bit 5 – INTF2: External Interrupt Flag 2  
When an event on the INT2 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF2 becomes set (one).  
If the I-bit in SREG and the INT2 bit in GICR are set (one), the MCU will jump to the cor-  
responding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed.  
Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it. Note that when enter-  
ing some sleep modes with the INT2 interrupt disabled, the input buffer on this pin will  
be disabled. This may cause a logic change in internal signals which will set the INTF2  
flag. See “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 66 for more information.  
• Bit 4 – PCIF1: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 1  
When a logic change on any PCINT15..8 pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF1  
becomes set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE1 bit in GICR are set (one), the  
MCU will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the inter-  
rupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to  
it.  
• Bit 3 – PCIF0: Pin Change Interrupt Flag 0  
When a logic change on any PCINT7..0 pin triggers an interrupt request, PCIF0  
becomes set (one). If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE0 bit in GICR are set (one), the  
MCU will jump to the corresponding Interrupt Vector. The flag is cleared when the inter-  
rupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to  
it.

Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and Output Compare Register (OCR0) are 8-bit registers.  
Interrupt request (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the Timer  
Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer  
Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since  
these registers are shared by other timer units.  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock  
source on the T0 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge  
the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is  
88  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is  
referred to as the timer clock (clkT0).  
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR0) is compared with the  
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the Wave-  
form Generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare  
pin (OC0). See “Output Compare Unit” on page 90. for details. The Compare Match  
event will also set the Compare Flag (OCF0) which can be used to generate an output  
compare interrupt request.  
Definitions  
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case  
“n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 0. However, when using the register  
or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used i.e., TCNT0 for accessing  
Timer/Counter0 counter value and so on.  
The definitions in Table 46 are also used extensively throughout the document.  
Table 46. Definitions  
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x00.  
MAX  
TOP  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).  
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest  
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the  
fixed value 0xFF (MAX) or the value stored in the OCR0 Register. The  
assignment is dependent on the mode of operation.  
Timer/Counter Clock  
Sources  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock  
source is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select  
(CS02:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR0). For details on  
clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, and  
Timer/Counter3 Prescalers” on page 103.

bottom  
Depending of the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec-  
remented at each timer clock (clkT0). clkT0 can be generated from an external or internal  
clock source, selected by the clock select bits (CS02:0). When no clock source is  
selected (CS02:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT0 value can be accessed  
by the CPU, regardless of whether clkT0 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has  
priority over) all counter clear or count operations.  
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM01 and WGM00 bits  
located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR0). There are close connections  
between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the  
output Compare Output OC0. For more details about advanced counting sequences  
and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 93.  
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV0) Flag is set according to the mode of operation  
selected by the WGM01:0 bits. TOV0 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.  
Output Compare Unit  
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the Output Compare Register  
(OCR0). Whenever TCNT0 equals OCR0, the comparator signals a match. A match will  
set the Output Compare Flag (OCF0) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE0 =  
1 and Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is set), the Output Compare Flag generates an out-  
put compare interrupt. The OCF0 Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is  
executed. Alternatively, the OCF0 Flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical  
one to its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to generate an  
output according to operating mode set by the WGM01:0 bits and Compare Output  
mode (COM01:0) bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the waveform generator  
for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (See  
“Modes of Operation” on page 93.).

The OCR0 Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation  
(PWM) modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation,  
the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the  
OCR0 Compare Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchro-  
nization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby  
making the output glitch-free.  
The OCR0 Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double  
buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR0 Buffer Register, and if double  
buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR0 directly.  
Force Output Compare  
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be  
forced by writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC0) bit. Forcing Compare  
Match will not set the OCF0 Flag or reload/clear the Timer, but the OC0 pin will be  
updated as if a real Compare Match had occurred (the COM01:0 bits settings define  
whether the OC0 pin is set, cleared or toggled).  
Compare Match Blocking by  
TCNT0 Write  
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any Compare Match that  
occur in the next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows  
OCR0 to be initialized to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an interrupt when  
the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.  
91  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Using the Output Compare  
Unit  
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one  
timer clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT0 when using the output  
compare channel, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the  
value written to TCNT0 equals the OCR0 value, the Compare Match will be missed,  
resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT0 value  
equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down-counting.  
The setup of the OC0 should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for  
the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC0 value is to use the Force Out-  
put Compare (FOC0) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC0 Register keeps its value  
even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.  
Be aware that the COM01:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare  
value. Changing the COM01:0 bits will take effect immediately.  
Compare Match Output  
Unit  
The Compare Output mode (COM01:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Genera-  
tor uses the COM01:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC0) state at the next  
Compare Match. Also, the COM01:0 bits control the OC0 pin output source. Figure 36  
shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM01:0 bit setting. The I/O  
Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the  
general I/O Port Control Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM01:0  
bits are shown. When referring to the OC0 state, the reference is for the internal OC0  
Register, not the OC0 pin. If a System Reset occur, the OC0 Register is reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC0) from the  
waveform generator if either of the COM01:0 bits are set. However, the OC0 pin direc-  
tion (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port  
pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC0 pin (DDR_OC0) must be set as output  
before the OC0 value is visible on the pin. The port override function is independent of  
the Waveform Generation mode.

ATmega162/V  
The design of the output compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC0 state before  
the output is enabled. Note that some COM01:0 bit settings are reserved for certain  
modes of operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 99.  
Compare Output Mode and  
Waveform Generation  
The Waveform Generator uses the COM01:0 bits differently in Normal, CTC, and PWM  
modes. For all modes, setting the COM01:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no  
action on the OC0 Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For Com-  
pare Output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 48 on page 100. For fast  
PWM mode, refer to Table 49 on page 100, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table  
50 on page 100.  
A change of the COM01:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the  
bits are written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect  
by using the FOC0 strobe bits.  
Modes of Operation  
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare  
pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM01:0) and  
Compare Output mode (COM01:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect  
the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM01:0  
bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or  
non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM01:0 bits control whether the output  
should be set, cleared, or toggled at a Compare Match (See “Compare Match Output  
Unit” on page 92.).  
For detailed timing information refer to Figure 40, Figure 41, Figure 42 and Figure 43 in  
“Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 97.  
Normal Mode  
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM01:0 = 0). In this mode the  
counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The  
counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then  
restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag  
(TOV0) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 becomes zero. The  
TOV0 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth bit, except that it is only set, not cleared.  
However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0  
Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to  
consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.  
The output compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using  
the output compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since  
this will occupy too much of the CPU time.  
Clear Timer on Compare  
Match (CTC) Mode  
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM01:0 = 2), the OCR0 Register is used to  
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the  
counter value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0. The OCR0 defines the top value for the  
counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare  
Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 37. The counter value  
(TCNT0) increases until a Compare Match occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0, and then  
counter (TCNT0) is cleared.

Period  
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by  
using the OCF0 Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be  
used for updating the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM  
when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care  
since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written  
to OCR0 is lower than the current value of TCNT0, the counter will miss the Compare  
Match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap  
around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can occur.  
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC0 output can be set to toggle its  
logical level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle  
bitmode (COM01:0 = 1). The OC0 value will not be visible on the port pin unless the  
data direction for the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum  
frequency of fOC0 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0 is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency  
is defined by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= ----------------------------------------------  
OCn  
2 N (1 + OCRn)  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV0 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle  
that the counter counts from MAX to 0x00.  
Fast PWM Mode  
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 3) provides a high fre-  
quency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM  
option by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to MAX then  
restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare  
(OC0) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT0 and OCR0, and set at BOT-  
TOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the output is set on Compare Match and  
cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the  
fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM mode that use dual-  
slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power  
regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small  
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.  
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX  
value. The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram  
for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 38. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram  
shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches MAX. If  
the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the com-  
pare value.  
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0  
pin. Setting the COM01:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted  
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM01:0 to three (See Table 49 on page  
100). The actual OC0 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the  
port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the  
OC0 Register at the Compare Match between OCR0 and TCNT0, and clearing (or set-  
ting) the OC0 Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from  
MAX to BOTTOM).  
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= -----------------  
OCnPWM  
N 256  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR0 Register represents special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR0 is set equal to BOTTOM, the  
output will be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR0 equal  
to MAX will result in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the out-  
put set by the COM01:0 bits.)  
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved  
by setting OC0 to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COM01:0 = 1). The  
waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC0 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0 is  
set to zero. This feature is similar to the OC0 toggle in CTC mode, except the double  
buffer feature of the output compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.  
95  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Phase Correct PWM Mode  
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct  
PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-  
slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX and then from  
MAX to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0)  
is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT0 and OCR0 while up-counting, and  
set on the Compare Match while down-counting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the  
operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency  
than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope  
PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.  
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase  
correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches MAX.  
When the counter reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will  
be equal to MAX for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct  
PWM mode is shown on Figure 39. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as  
a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted  
and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes repre-  
sent compare matches between OCR0 and TCNT0.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOT-

reaches the BOTTOM value.  
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on  
the OC0 pin. Setting the COM01:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An  
inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM01:0 to three (See Table 50  
on page 100). The actual OC0 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direc-  
tion for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or  
setting) the OC0 Register at the Compare Match between OCR0 and TCNT0 when the  
counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC0 Register at Compare Match

The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR0 Register represent special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR0 is set equal to  
BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be  
continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have  
the opposite logic values.  
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 39 OCn has a transition from high to low even  
though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry  
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.  
OCR0 changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 39. When the OCR0 value is MAX  
the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To  
ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the  
result of an up-counting Compare Match.  
The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR0, and for that  
reason misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have  
happened on the way up.

• Bit 7 – FOC0: Force Output Compare  
The FOC0 bit is only active when the WGM00 bit specifies a non-PWM mode. However,  
for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR0 is  
written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0 bit, an  
immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0 output  
is changed according to its COM01:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC0 bit is implemented  
as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM01:0 bits that determines the  
effect of the forced compare.  
A FOC0 strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode  
using OCR0 as TOP.  
The FOC0 bit is always read as zero.  
• Bit 6, 3 – WGM01:0: Waveform Generation Mode  
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum  
(TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of oper-  
ation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode, Clear Timer on Compare  
match (CTC) mode, and two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See Table  
47 and “Modes of Operation” on page 93.

1. The CTC0 and PWM0 bit definition names are now obsolete. Use the WGM01:0 def-  
initions. However, the functionality and location of these bits are compatible with  
previous versions of the timer.  
• Bit 5:4 – COM01:0: Compare Match Output Mode  
These bits control the output compare pin (OC0) behavior. If one or both of the  
COM01:0 bits are set, the OC0 output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O  
pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corre-  
sponding to the OC0 pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.

When OC0 is connected to the pin, the function of the COM01:0 bits depends on the  
WGM01:0 bit setting. Table 48 shows the COM01:0 bit functionality when the WGM01:0  
bits are set to a Normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

TOV0 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE0

The OCF0 bit is set (one) when a Compare Match occurs between the Timer/Counter0  
and the data in OCR0 – Output Compare Register0. OCF0 is cleared by hardware when  
executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF0 is cleared by  
writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE0 (Timer/Counter0 Com-

Timer/Counter0,  
Timer/Counter1, and  
Timer/Counter3  
Prescalers  
Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter0 share the same prescaler mod-  
ule, but the Timer/Counters can have different prescaler settings. The description below  
applies to Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter0.  
Internal Clock Source  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 =  
1). This provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency  
equal to system clock frequency (fCLK_I/O). Alternatively, one of four taps from the pres-  
caler can be used as a clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either  
fCLK_I/O/8, fCLK_I/O/64, fCLK_I/O/256, or fCLK_I/O/1024. In addition, Timer/Counter3 has the  
option of choosing fCLK_I/O/16 and fCLK_I/O/32.  
Prescaler Reset  
The prescaler is free running, i.e., operates independently of the clock select logic of the  
Timer/Counter, and it is shared by Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and  
Timer/Counter0. Since the prescaler is not affected by the Timer/Counter’s clock select,  
the state of the prescaler will have implications for situations where a prescaled clock is  
used. One example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the Timer is enabled and  
clocked by the prescaler (6 > CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock cycles from  
when the Timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock  
cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024, additional selections  
for Timer/Counter3: 32 and 64).  
It is possible to use the Prescaler Reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program  
execution. However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the  
same prescaler also uses prescaling. A Prescaler Reset will affect the prescaler period  
for all Timer/Counters it is connected to.  
External Clock Source  
An external clock source applied to the Tn/T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock  
(clkT1/clkT0) for Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0. The Tn/T0 pin is sampled once  
every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized (sampled)  
signal is then passed through the edge detector. Figure 44 shows a functional equiva-  
lent block diagram of the Tn/T0 synchronization and edge detector logic. The registers  
are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch is trans-  
parent in the high period of the internal system clock.  
The edge detector generates one clkT1/clkT0 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 = 7) or neg-  
ative (CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.

Edge Detector  
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system  
clock cycles from an edge has been applied to the Tn/T0 pin to the counter is updated.  
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when Tn/T0 has been stable for  
at least one system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock  
pulse is generated.  
103  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock  
cycle to ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less  
than half the system clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50% duty cycle. Since  
the edge detector uses sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can  
detect is half the sampling frequency (Nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to vari-  
ation of the system clock frequency and duty cycle caused by Oscillator source (crystal,  
resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is recommended that maximum frequency of an  
external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.  
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization Mode  
Writing the TSM bit to one activates the Timer/Counter Synchronization mode. In this  
mode, the value that is written to the PSR2 and PSR310 bits is kept, hence keeping the  
corresponding prescaler reset signals asserted. This ensures that the corresponding  
Timer/Counters are halted and can be configured to the same value without the risk of  
one of them advancing during configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the  
PSR2 and PSR310 bits are cleared by hardware, and the Timer/Counters start counting  
simultaneously.  
• Bit 0 – PSR310: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and  
Timer/Counter0  
When this bit is one, the Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter0 pres-  
caler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by hardware, except if the  
TSM bit is set. Note that Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter1, and Timer/Counter0 share  
the same prescaler and a reset of this prescaler will affect all three timers.

Overview  
Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case  
“n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Com-  
pare unit channel. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the  
precise form must be used i.e., TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and  
so on.  
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 46. For the  
actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATmega162” on page 2. CPU accessible  
I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O  
Register and bit locations are listed in the “16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description”  
on page 127.

Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNTn), Output Compare Registers (OCRnA/B), and Input Capture  
Register (ICRn) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when  
accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Access-  
ing 16-bit Registers” on page 108. The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCRnA/B)  
are 8-bit registers and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated  
to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR)  
and Extended Timer Interrupt Flag Register (ETIFR). All interrupts are individually  
masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) and Extended Timer Interrupt  
Mask Register (ETIMSK). (E)TIFR and (E)TIMSK are not shown in the figure since  
these registers are shared by other Timer units.  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock  
source on the T1 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge  
the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is  
inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is  
referred to as the Timer Clock (clkTn).  
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCRnA/B) are compared with the  
Timer/Counter value at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the waveform  
generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin  
106  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
(OCnA/B). See “Output Compare Units” on page 114. The Compare Match event will  
also set the Compare Match Flag (OCFnA/B) which can be used to generate an output  
compare interrupt request.  
The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external  
(edge triggered) event on either the Input Capture pin (ICPn) or on the Analog Compar-  
ator pins (See “Analog Comparator” on page 194.) The Input Capture unit includes a  
digital filtering unit (Noise Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.  
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be  
defined by either the OCRnA Register, the ICRn Register, or by a set of fixed values.  
When using OCRnA as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCRnA Register can not be  
used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double  
buffered allowing the TOP value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is  
required, the ICRn Register can be used as an alternative, freeing the OCRnA to be  
used as PWM output.  
Definitions  
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:  
Table 52. Definitions  
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.  
MAX  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal  
65535).  
TOP  
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest  
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one  
of the fixed values: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in  
the OCRnA or ICRn Register. The assignment is dependent of the mode  
of operation.  
Compatibility  
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has been updated and improved from previous versions of the  
16-bit AVR Timer/Counter. This 16-bit Timer/Counter is fully compatible with the earlier  
version regarding:  
All 16-bit Timer/Counter related I/O Register address locations, including Timer  
Interrupt Registers.  
Bit locations inside all 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers, including Timer Interrupt  
Registers.  
Interrupt Vectors.  
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register  
location:  
PWMn0 is changed to WGMn0.  
PWMn1 is changed to WGMn1.  
CTCn is changed to WGMn2.  
The following bits are added to the 16-bit Timer/Counter Control Registers:  
FOCnA and FOCnB are added to TCCRnA.  
WGMn3 is added to TCCRnB.  
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has improvements that will affect the compatibility in some  
special cases.  
107  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Accessing 16-bit  
Registers  
The TCNTn, OCRnA/B, and ICRn are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR  
CPU via the 8-bit data bus. The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or  
write operations. Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for temporary storing of the  
high byte of the 16-bit access. The same Temporary Register is shared between all 16-  
bit registers within each 16-bit timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or  
write operation. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is written by the CPU, the high  
byte stored in the temporary register, and the low byte written are both copied into the  
16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is read by  
the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register in the  
same clock cycle as the low byte is read.  
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the  
OCRnA/B 16-bit registers does not involve using the temporary register.  
To do a 16-bit write, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit read,  
the low byte must be read before the high byte.  
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit Timer Registers assuming  
that no interrupts updates the temporary register. The same principle can be used  
directly for accessing the OCRnA/B and ICRn Registers. Note that when using “C”, the  
compiler handles the 16-bit access.  
Assembly Code Examples(1)  
...  
; Set TCNTn to 0x01FF  
ldi r17,0x01  
ldi r16,0xFF  
out TCNTnH,r17  
out TCNTnL,r16  
; Read TCNTn into r17:r16

...  
C Code Examples(1)  
unsigned int i;  
...  
/* Set TCNTn to 0x01FF */  
TCNTn = 0x1FF;  
/* Read TCNTn into i */  
i = TCNTn;  
...  
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”,  
and “SBI” instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to  
extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and  
“CBR”.  
The assembly code example returns the TCNTn value in the r17:r16 register pair.  
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an inter-  
rupt occurs between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt  
code updates the temporary register by accessing the same or any other of the 16-bit  
Timer Registers, then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted.  
108  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Therefore, when both the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary regis-  
ter, the main code must disable the interrupts during the 16-bit access.  
The following code examples show how to do an atomic read of the TCNTn Register  
contents. Reading any of the OCRnA/B or ICRn Registers can be done by using the  
same principle.

Reusing the Temporary High  
Byte Register  
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers  
written, then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same  
rule of atomic operation described previously also applies in this case.

Timer/Counter Clock  
Sources  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock  
source is selected by the clock select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select  
(CSn2:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCRnB). For details on  
clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, and  
Timer/Counter3 Prescalers” on page 103.  
Counter Unit  
The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional  
counter unit. Figure 47 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: Counter High  
(TCNTnH) containing the upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNTnL)  
containing the lower eight bits. The TCNTnH Register can only be indirectly accessed  
by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNTnH I/O location, the CPU  
accesses the high byte temporary register (TEMP). The temporary register is updated  
with the TCNTnH value when the TCNTnL is read, and TCNTnH is updated with the  
temporary register value when TCNTnL is written. This allows the CPU to read or write  
the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus. It is impor-  
tant to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNTn Register when the  
counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described  
in the sections where they are of importance.  
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec-  
remented at each Timer Clock (clkTn). The clkTn can be generated from an external or  
internal clock source, selected by the Clock Select bits (CSn2:0). When no clock source  
is selected (CSn2:0 = 0) the Timer is stopped. However, the TCNTn value can be  
accessed by the CPU, independent of whether clkTn is present or not. A CPU write over-  
rides (has priority over) all counter clear or count operations.  
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode  
bits (WGMn3:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCRnA and  
TCCRnB). There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and  
111  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare outputs OCnx. For more details  
about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Opera-  
tion” on page 117.  
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set according to the mode of operation  
selected by the WGMn3:0 bits. TOVn can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.  
Input Capture Unit  
The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events  
and give them a time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating  
an event, or multiple events, can be applied via the ICPn pin or alternatively, via the  
Analog Comparator unit. The time-stamps can then be used to calculate frequency,  
duty-cycle, and other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be  
used for creating a log of the events.  
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 48. The ele-  
ments of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray  
shaded. The small “n” in register and bit names indicates the Timer/Counter number.

When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture pin (ICPn),  
alternatively on the Analog Comparator output (ACO), and this change confirms to the  
setting of the edge detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is triggered, the  
16-bit value of the counter (TCNTn) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICRn). The  
Input Capture Flag (ICFn) is set at the same system clock as the TCNTn value is copied  
into ICRn Register. If enabled (TICIEn = 1), the Input Capture Flag generates an Input  
Capture interrupt. The ICFn Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed.  
Alternatively the ICFn Flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O  
bit location.

ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICRn) is done by first reading the  
low byte (ICRnL) and then the high byte (ICRnH). When the low byte is read the high  
byte is copied into the high byte temporary register (TEMP). When the CPU reads the  
ICRnH I/O location it will access the TEMP Register.  
The ICRn Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that  
utilizes the ICRn Register for defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the  
Waveform Generation mode (WGMn3:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be  
written to the ICRn Register. When writing the ICRn Register the high byte must be writ-  
ten to the ICRnH I/O location before the low byte is written to ICRnL.  
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit  
Registers” on page 108.  
Input Capture Trigger Source  
The main trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture pin (ICPn).  
Timer/Counter1 can alternatively use the Analog Comparator output as trigger source  
for the Input Capture unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by set-  
ting the Analog Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator Control  
and Status Register (ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a cap-  
ture. The Input Capture Flag must therefore be cleared after the change.  
Both the Input Capture pin (ICPn) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are  
sampled using the same technique as for the Tn pin (Figure 44 on page 103). The edge  
detector is also identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic  
is inserted before the edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock  
cycles. Note that the input of the noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled  
unless the Timer/Counter is set in a Waveform Generation mode that uses ICRn to  
define TOP.  
An Input Capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICPn pin.  
Noise Canceler  
The Noise Canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme.  
The Noise Canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for  
changing the output that in turn is used by the edge detector.  
The Noise Canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNCn) bit  
in Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCRnB). When enabled the noise canceler intro-  
duces additional four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to  
the update of the ICRn Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is there-  
fore not affected by the prescaler.  
Using the Input Capture Unit  
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor  
capacity for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the  
processor has not read the captured value in the ICRn Register before the next event  
occurs, the ICRn will be overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the cap-  
ture will be incorrect.  
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICRn Register should be read as early in the  
interrupt handler routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has rela-  
tively high priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum  
number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.  
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution)  
is actively changed during operation, is not recommended.  
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed  
after each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after  
the ICRn Register has been read. After a change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag  
113  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
(ICFn) must be cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For  
measuring frequency only, the clearing of the ICFn Flag is not required (if an interrupt  
handler is used).  
Output Compare Units  
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNTn with the Output Compare Regis-  
ter (OCRnx). If TCNT equals OCRnx the comparator signals a match. A match will set  
the Output Compare Flag (OCFnx) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIEnx =  
1), the Output Compare Flag generates an output compare interrupt. The OCFnx Flag is  
automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCFnx Flag can  
be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Gen-  
erator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by  
the Waveform Generation mode (WGMn3:0) bits and Compare Output mode  
(COMnx1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals are used by the Waveform Generator  
for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (See  
“Modes of Operation” on page 117.)  
A special feature of output compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP  
value (i.e., counter resolution). In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value  
defines the period time for waveforms generated by the Waveform Generator.  
Figure 49 shows a block diagram of the output compare unit. The small “n” in the regis-  
ter and bit names indicates the device number (n = n for Timer/Counter n), and the “x”  
indicates output compare unit (A/B). The elements of the block diagram that are not  
directly a part of the output compare unit are gray shaded.

The OCRnx Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Mod-  
ulation (PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of  
operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the  
update of the OCRnx Compare Register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting  
114  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
sequence. The synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical  
PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.  
The OCRnx Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double  
buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCRnx Buffer Register, and if double  
buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCRnx directly. The content of the OCR1x  
(Buffer or Compare) Register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/Counter  
does not update this register automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Register). Therefore  
OCR1x is not read via the high byte temporary register (TEMP). However, it is a good  
practice to read the low byte first as when accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the  
OCRnx Registers must be done via the TEMP Register since the compare of all 16 bits  
is done continuously. The high byte (OCRnxH) has to be written first. When the high  
byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be updated by the value  
written. Then when the low byte (OCRnxL) is written to the lower eight bits, the high byte  
will be copied into the upper eight bits of either the OCRnx buffer or OCRnx Compare  
Register in the same system clock cycle.  
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit  
Registers” on page 108.  
Force Output Compare  
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be  
forced by writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOCnx) bit. Forcing Compare  
Match will not set the OCFnx Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OCnx pin will be  
updated as if a real Compare Match had occurred (the COMn1:0 bits settings define  
whether the OCnx pin is set, cleared or toggled).  
Compare Match Blocking by  
TCNTn Write  
All CPU writes to the TCNTn Register will block any Compare Match that occurs in the  
next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCRnx to be  
initialized to the same value as TCNTn without triggering an interrupt when the  
Timer/Counter clock is enabled.  
Using the Output Compare  
Unit  
Since writing TCNTn in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one  
timer clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNTn when using any of the  
output compare channels, independent of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not.  
If the value written to TCNTn equals the OCRnx value, the Compare Match will be  
missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Do not write the TCNTn equal to  
TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP values. The Compare Match for the TOP will be  
ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF. Similarly, do not write the TCNTn value  
equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down-counting.  
The setup of the OCnx should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register  
for the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OCnx value is to use the Force  
Output Compare (FOCnx) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OCnx Register keeps its  
value even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.  
Be aware that the COMnx1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare  
value. Changing the COMnx1:0 bits will take effect immediately.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
Compare Match Output  
Unit  
The Compare Output mode (COMnx1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform genera-  
tor uses the COMnx1:0 bits for defining the output compare (OCnx) state at the next  
Compare Match. Secondly the COMnx1:0 bits control the OCnx pin output source. Fig-  
ure 50 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COMnx1:0 bit setting.  
The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of  
the general I/O Port Control Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the  
COMnx1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OCnx state, the reference is for the  
internal OCnx Register, not the OCnx pin. If a System Reset occur, the OCnx Register is  
reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the output compare (OCnx) from the  
Waveform Generator if either of the COMnx1:0 bits are set. However, the OCnx pin  
direction (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the  
port pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OCnx pin (DDR_OCnx) must be set as  
output before the OCnx value is visible on the pin. The port override function is generally  
independent of the Waveform Generation mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer  
to Table 53, Table 54 and Table 55 for details.  
The design of the output compare pin logic allows initialization of the OCnx state before  
the output is enabled. Note that some COMnx1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain  
modes of operation. See “16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 127.  
The COMnx1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.

Compare Output Mode and  
Waveform Generation  
The Waveform Generator uses the COMnx1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM  
modes. For all modes, setting the COMnx1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no  
action on the OCnx Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For Com-  
pare Output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 53 on page 127. For fast  
PWM mode refer to Table 54 on page 128, and for phase correct and phase and fre-  
quency correct PWM refer to Table 55 on page 128.  
A change of the COMnx1:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after  
the bits are written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate  
effect by using the FOCnx strobe bits.  
Modes of Operation  
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare  
pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGMn3:0) and  
Compare Output mode (COMnx1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect  
the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COMnx1:0  
bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or  
non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COMnx1:0 bits control whether the out-  
put should be set, cleared or toggle at a Compare Match (See “Compare Match Output  
Unit” on page 116.)  
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 125.  
Normal Mode  
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGMn3:0 = 0). In this mode the  
counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The  
counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and  
then restarts from the BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Over-  
flow Flag (TOVn) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNTn becomes zero.  
The TOVn Flag in this case behaves like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared.  
However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOVn  
Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to  
consider in the normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.  
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maxi-  
mum interval between the external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter.  
If the interval between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler  
must be used to extend the resolution for the capture unit.  
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using  
the Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended,  
since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.  
Clear Timer on Compare  
Match (CTC) Mode  
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGMn3:0 = 4 or 12), the OCRnA or ICRn  
Register are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is  
cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNTn) matches either the OCRnA (WGMn3:0  
= 4) or the ICRn (WGMn3:0 = 12). The OCRnA or ICRn define the top value for the  
counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare  
Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 51. The counter value  
(TCNTn) increases until a Compare Match occurs with either OCRnA or ICRn, and then  
counter (TCNTn) is cleared.

Period  
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by  
either using the OCFnA or ICFn Flag according to the register used to define the TOP  
value. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating  
the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the  
counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the  
CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to  
OCRnA or ICRn is lower than the current value of TCNTn, the counter will miss the  
Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFFFF)  
and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can occur. In many  
cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode  
using OCRnA for defining TOP (WGMn3:0 = 15) since the OCRnA then will be double  
buffered.  
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OCnA output can be set to toggle  
its logical level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to  
toggle mode (COMnA1:0 = 1). The OCnA value will not be visible on the port pin unless  
the data direction for the pin is set to output (DDR_OCnA = 1). The waveform generated  
will have a maximum frequency of fOCnA = fclk_I/O/2 when OCRnA is set to zero (0x0000).  
The waveform frequency is defined by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f

The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). For  
Timer/Counter3 also prescaler factors 16 and 32 are available.  
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOVn Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle  
that the counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.

Fast PWM Mode  
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGMn3:0 = 5,6,7,14, or 15) pro-  
vides a high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from  
the other PWM options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM  
to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output  
Compare (OCnx) is set on the Compare Match between TCNTn and OCRnx, and  
cleared at TOP. In inverting Compare Output mode output is cleared on Compare Match  
and set at TOP. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the fast  
PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and phase and frequency correct  
PWM modes that use dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM  
mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High fre-  
quency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors), hence  
reduces total system cost.  
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either  
ICRn or OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to  
0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to MAX). The PWM  
resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:  
log(TOP + 1)  
R
= ----------------------------------  
FPWM  
log(2)  
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either  
one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGMn3:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in  
ICRn (WGMn3:0 = 14), or the value in OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 15). The counter is then  
cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is  
shown in Figure 52. The figure shows fast PWM mode when OCRnA or ICRn is used to  
define TOP. The TCNTn value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illus-  
trating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM  
outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNTn slopes represent compare  
matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt Flag will be set when a Com-  
pare Match occurs.

higher or equal to the value of all of the compare registers. If the TOP value is lower  
than any of the compare registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the  
TCNTn and the OCRnx. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are  
masked to zero when any of the OCRnx Registers are written.  
The procedure for updating ICRn differs from updating OCRnA when used for defining  
the TOP value. The ICRn Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICRn is  
changed to a low value when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value,  
there is a risk that the new ICRn value written is lower than the current value of TCNTn.  
The result will then be that the counter will miss the Compare Match at the TOP value.  
The counter will then have to count to the MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around start-  
ing at 0x0000 before the Compare Match can occur. The OCRnA Register however, is  
double buffered. This feature allows the OCRnA I/O location to be written anytime.  
When the OCRnA I/O location is written the value written will be put into the OCRnA  
Buffer Register. The OCRnA Compare Register will then be updated with the value in  
the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNTn matches TOP. The update is  
done at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNTn is cleared and the TOVn Flag is set.  
Using the ICRn Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By  
using ICRn, the OCRnA Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on  
OCnA. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP  
value), using the OCRnA as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer  
feature.  
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the  
OCnx pins. Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an  
inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COMnx1:0 to three (See Table  
on page 128). The actual OCnx value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direc-  
tion for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OCnx). The PWM waveform is generated by  
setting (or clearing) the OCnx Register at the Compare Match between OCRnx and  
TCNTn, and clearing (or setting) the OCnx Register at the timer clock cycle the counter  
is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).  
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= ----------------------------------  
OCnxPWM  
N (1 + TOP)  
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). For  
Timer/Counter3 also prescaler factors 16 and 32 are available.  
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represents special cases when generating  
a PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to BOTTOM  
(0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the  
OCRnx equal to TOP will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polar-  
ity of the output set by the COMnx1:0 bits.)  
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved  
by setting OCnA to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COMnA1:0 = 1).  
This applies only if OCRnA is used to define the TOP value (WGMn3:0 = 15). The wave-  
form generated will have a maximum frequency of fOCnA = fclk_I/O/2 when OCRnA is set  
to zero (0x0000). This feature is similar to the OCnA toggle in CTC mode, except the  
double buffer feature of the output compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.

Phase Correct PWM Mode  
The phase correct Pulse Width Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGMn3:0 = 1,  
2, 3, 10, or 11) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation  
option. The phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM  
mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM  
(0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output  
mode, the Output Compare (OCnx) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNTn  
and OCRnx while up-counting, and set on the Compare Match while down-counting. In  
inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has  
lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the  
symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor  
control applications.  
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or  
defined by either ICRn or OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or  
OCRnA set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to  
MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:  
log(TOP + 1)  
R
= ----------------------------------  
PCPWM  
log(2)  
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches  
either one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGMn3:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the  
value in ICRn (WGMn3:0 = 10), or the value in OCRnA (WGMn3:0 = 11). The counter  
has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNTn value will be  
equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM  
mode is shown on Figure 53. The figure shows phase correct PWM mode when OCRnA  
or ICRn is used to define TOP. The TCNTn value is in the timing diagram shown as a  
histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted  
and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNTn slopes repre-  
sent compare matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt Flag will be  
set when a Compare Match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set each time the counter reaches BOT-

121  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ICFn Flag is set accordingly at the same timer clock cycle as the OCRnx Registers are  
updated with the double buffer value (at TOP). The Interrupt Flags can be used to gen-  
erate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.  
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is  
higher or equal to the value of all of the compare registers. If the TOP value is lower  
than any of the compare registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the  
TCNTn and the OCRnx. Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are  
masked to zero when any of the OCRnx Registers are written. As the third period shown  
in Figure 53 illustrates, changing the TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in  
the phase correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can  
be found in the time of update of the OCRnx Register. Since the OCRnx update occurs  
at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This implies that the length of the fall-  
ing slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the length of the rising slope is  
determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the two slopes of the  
period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the unsymmetrical result on the  
output.  
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase  
correct mode when changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When  
using a static TOP value there are practically no differences between the two modes of  
operation.  
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on  
the OCnx pins. Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and  
an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COMnx1:0 to three (See Table  
55 on page 128). The actual OCnx value will only be visible on the port pin if the data  
direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OCnx). The PWM waveform is gener-  
ated by setting (or clearing) the OCnx Register at the Compare Match between OCRnx  
and TCNTn when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the OCnx Register at  
Compare Match between OCRnx and TCNTn when the counter decrements. The PWM  
frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the fol-  
lowing equation:  
f
clk_I/O

2 N TOP  
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). For  
Timer/Counter3 also prescaler factors 16 and 32 are available.  
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represent special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to  
BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be  
continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have  
the opposite logic values. If OCRnA is used to define the TOP value (WGMn3:0 = 11)  
and COMnA1:0 = 1, the OCnA output will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.  
Phase and Frequency Correct The phase and frequency correct Pulse Width Modulation, or phase and frequency cor-  
PWM Mode  
rect PWM mode (WGMn3:0 = 8 or 9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency  
correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase and frequency correct PWM  
mode is, like the phase correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The  
counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOT-  
TOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OCnx) is cleared  
on the Compare Match between TCNTn and OCRnx while up-counting, and set on the  
Compare Match while down-counting. In inverting Compare Output mode, the operation  
is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency com-

pared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-  
slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.  
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct  
PWM mode is the time the OCRnx Register is updated by the OCRnx Buffer Register,  
(see Figure 53 and Figure 54).  
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by  
either ICRn or OCRnA. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to  
0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICRn or OCRnA set to MAX). The PWM  
resolution in bits can be calculated using the following equation:  
log(TOP + 1)

In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter  
value matches either the value in ICRn (WGMn3:0 = 8), or the value in OCRnA  
(WGMn3:0 = 9). The counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direc-  
tion. The TCNTn value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing  
diagram for the phase correct and frequency correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 54.  
The figure shows phase and frequency correct PWM mode when OCRnA or ICRn is

illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted  
PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNTn slopes represent compare  
matches between OCRnx and TCNTn. The OCnx Interrupt Flag will be set when a Com-  
pare Match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOVn) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the  
OCRnx Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either  
OCRnA or ICRn is used for defining the TOP value, the OCnA or ICFn Flag set when  
TCNTn has reached TOP. The Interrupt Flags can then be used to generate an interrupt  
each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.  
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is  
higher or equal to the value of all of the compare registers. If the TOP value is lower  
123  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
than any of the compare registers, a Compare Match will never occur between the  
TCNTn and the OCRnx.  
As Figure 54 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, sym-  
metrical in all periods. Since the OCRnx Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length  
of the rising and the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives symmetrical output  
pulses and is therefore frequency correct.  
Using the ICRn Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By  
using ICRn, the OCRnA Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on  
OCnA. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by changing the TOP  
value, using the OCRnA as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer  
feature.  
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of  
PWM waveforms on the OCnx pins. Setting the COMnx1:0 bits to two will produce a  
non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the  
COMnx1:0 to three (See Table 55 on page 128). The actual OCnx value will only be vis-  
ible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OCnx). The  
PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OCnx Register at the Compare  
Match between OCRnx and TCNTn when the counter increments, and clearing (or set-  
ting) the OCnx Register at Compare Match between OCRnx and TCNTn when the  
counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase and fre-  
quency correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:  
f

The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). For  
Timer/Counter3 also prescaler factors 16 and 32 are available.  
The extreme values for the OCRnx Register represents special cases when generating  
a PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCRnx is set equal to  
BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be  
set to high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the  
opposite logic values. If OCRnA is used to define the TOP value (WGMn3:0 = 9) and  
COMnA1:0 = 1, the OCnA output will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.

The COMnA1:0 and COMnB1:0 control the Output Compare pins (OCnA and OCnB  
respectively) behavior. If one or both of the COMnA1:0 bits are written to one, the OCnA  
output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or  
both of the COMnB1:0 bit are written to one, the OCnB output overrides the normal port  
functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Reg-  
ister (DDR) bit corresponding to the OCnA or OCnB pin must be set in order to enable  
the output driver.  
When the OCnA or OCnB is connected to the pin, the function of the COMnx1:0 bits is  
dependent of the WGMn3:0 bits setting. Table 53 shows the COMnx1:0 bit functionality  
when the WGMn3:0 bits are set to a normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).

• Bit 3 – FOCnA: Force Output Compare for channel A  
• Bit 2 – FOCnB: Force Output Compare for channel B  
The FOCnA/FOCnB bits are only active when the WGMn3:0 bits specifies a non-PWM  
mode. However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to  
zero when TCCRnA is written when operating in a PWM mode. When writing a logical  
one to the FOCnA/FOCnB bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform  
Generation unit. The OCnA/OCnB output is changed according to its COMnx1:0 bits  
setting. Note that the FOCnA/FOCnB bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is  
the value present in the COMnx1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.  
A FOCnA/FOCnB strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear  
Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode using OCRnA as TOP.  
The FOCnA/FOCnB bits are always read as zero.

• Bit 7 – ICNCn: Input Capture Noise Canceler  
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture noise canceler. When the noise can-  
celer is activated, the input from the Input Capture pin (ICPn) is filtered. The filter  
function requires four successive equal valued samples of the ICPn pin for changing its  
output. The Input Capture is therefore delayed by four Oscillator cycles when the noise  
canceler is enabled.  
• Bit 6 – ICESn: Input Capture Edge Select  
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture pin (ICPn) that is used to trigger a cap-  
ture event. When the ICESn bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as  
trigger, and when the ICESn bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge will trigger the  
capture.  
When a capture is triggered according to the ICESn setting, the counter value is copied  
into the Input Capture Register (ICRn). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag  
(ICFn), and this can be used to cause an Input Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is  
enabled.  
When the ICRn is used as TOP value (see description of the WGMn3:0 bits located in  
the TCCRnA and the TCCRnB Register), the ICPn is disconnected and consequently  
the Input Capture function is disabled.  
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit  
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit  
must be written to zero when TCCRnB is written.  
• Bit 4:3 – WGMn3:2: Waveform Generation Mode  
See TCCRnA Register description.

The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNTnH and TCNTnL, combined TCNTn) give  
direct access, both for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit  
counter. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are read and written simultaneously  
when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit tempo-  
rary high byte register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit  
registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 108.  
Modifying the counter (TCNTn) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing  
a Compare Match between TCNTn and one of the OCRnx Registers.  
Writing to the TCNTn Register blocks (removes) the Compare Match on the following  
timer clock for all compare units.

The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared  
with the counter value (TCNTn). A match can be used to generate an output compare  
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OCnx pin.  
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low  
bytes are written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is  
performed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register (TEMP). This temporary register  
is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 108.

The Input Capture is updated with the counter (TCNTn) value each time an event occurs  
on the ICPn pin (or optionally on the Analog Comparator output for Timer/Counter1).  
The Input Capture can be used for defining the counter TOP value.  
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes  
are read simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is per-  
formed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register (TEMP). This temporary register is  
shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 108.

8-bit Timer/Counter2 Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single channel, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. The  
main features are:  
Single Channel Counter  
with PWM and  
Asynchronous  
operation  
Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)  
Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)  
Frequency Generator  
10-bit Clock Prescaler

Overview  
A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 59. For the  
actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATmega162” on page 2. CPU accessible  
I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O  
Register and bit locations are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on  
page 148.

Registers  
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2) are 8-bit registers.  
Interrupt request (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag  
Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask  
Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers are  
shared by other timer units.  
137  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously  
clocked from the TOSC1/2 pins, as detailed later in this section. The asynchronous  
operation is controlled by the Asynchronous Status Register (ASSR). The Clock Select  
logic block controls which clock source the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decre-  
ment) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The  
output from the clock select logic is referred to as the Timer Clock (clkT2).  
The double buffered Output Compare Register (OCR2) is compared with the  
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the wave-  
form generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare  
Pin (OC2). See “Output Compare Unit” on page 139. for details. The Compare Match  
event will also set the Compare Flag (OCF2) which can be used to generate an output  
compare interrupt request.  
Definitions  
Many register and bit references in this document are written in general form. A lower  
case “n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, in this case 2. However, when using the  
register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used i.e., TCNT2 for  
accessing Timer/Counter2 counter value and so on.  
The definitions in Table 59 are also used extensively throughout the section.  
Table 59. Definitions  
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).  
MAX  
TOP  
The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).  
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest  
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the  
fixed value 0xFF (MAX) or the value stored in the OCR2 Register. The  
assignment is dependent on the mode of operation.  
Timer/Counter Clock  
Sources  
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchro-  
nous clock source. The clock source clkT2 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O.  
When the AS2 bit in the ASSR Register is written to logic one, the clock source is taken  
from the Timer/Counter Oscillator connected to TOSC1 and TOSC2. For details on  
asynchronous operation, see “Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR” on page 152. For  
details on clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter Prescaler” on page 156.

bottom  
Signalizes that TCNT2 has reached minimum value (zero).  
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec-  
remented at each timer clock (clkT2). clkT2 can be generated from an external or internal  
clock source, selected by the Clock Select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is  
selected (CS22:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed  
by the CPU, regardless of whether clkT2 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has  
priority over) all counter clear or count operations.  
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits  
located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2). There are close connections  
between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the  
Output Compare output OC2. For more details about advanced counting sequences  
and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 142.  
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set according to the mode of operation  
selected by the WGM21:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.  
Output Compare Unit  
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT2 with the Output Compare Register  
(OCR2). Whenever TCNT2 equals OCR2, the comparator signals a match. A match will  
set the Output Compare Flag (OCF2) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (OCIE2 =  
1), the Output Compare Flag generates an output compare interrupt. The OCF2 Flag is  
automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF2 Flag can  
be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The waveform gen-  
erator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by  
the WGM21:0 bits and Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits. The max and bottom sig-  
nals are used by the waveform generator for handling the special cases of the extreme  
values in some modes of operation (“Modes of Operation” on page 142).  
Figure 61 shows a block diagram of the output compare unit.

The OCR2 Register is double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation  
(PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation,  
the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the  
OCR2 Compare Register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchro-  
nization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby  
making the output glitch-free.  
The OCR2 Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double  
buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR2 Buffer Register, and if double  
buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR2 directly.  
Force Output Compare  
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be  
forced by writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC2) bit. Forcing Compare  
Match will not set the OCF2 Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC2 pin will be  
updated as if a real Compare Match had occurred (the COM21:0 bits settings define  
whether the OC2 pin is set, cleared or toggled).  
Compare Match Blocking by  
TCNT2 Write  
All CPU write operations to the TCNT2 Register will block any Compare Match that  
occurs in the next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows  
OCR2 to be initialized to the same value as TCNT2 without triggering an interrupt when  
the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.  
Using the Output Compare  
Unit  
Since writing TCNT2 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one  
timer clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT2 when using the output  
compare channel, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the  
value written to TCNT2 equals the OCR2 value, the Compare Match will be missed,  
140  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
resulting in incorrect Waveform Generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT2 value  
equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down-counting.  
The Setup of the OC2 should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register  
for the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC2 value is to use the Force  
Output Compare (FOC2) strobe bit in Normal mode. The OC2 Register keeps its value  
even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.  
Be aware that the COM21:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare  
value. Changing the COM21:0 bits will take effect immediately.  
Compare Match Output  
Unit  
The Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits have two functions. The waveform genera-  
tor uses the COM21:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC2) state at the next  
Compare Match. Also, the COM21:0 bits control the OC2 pin output source. Figure 62  
shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM21:0 bit setting. The I/O  
Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the  
general I/O Port Control Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM21:0  
bits are shown. When referring to the OC2 state, the reference is for the internal OC2  
Register, not the OC2 pin.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC2) from the  
waveform generator if either of the COM21:0 bits are set. However, the OC2 pin direc-  
tion (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port  
pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC2 pin (DDR_OC2) must be set as output  
before the OC2 value is visible on the pin. The port override function is independent of  
the Waveform Generation mode.  
141  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC2 state before  
the output is enabled. Note that some COM21:0 bit settings are reserved for certain  
modes of operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 148.  
Compare Output Mode and  
Waveform Generation  
The Waveform Generator uses the COM21:0 bits differently in Normal, CTC, and PWM  
modes. For all modes, setting the COM21:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no  
action on the OC2 Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For com-  
pare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 61 on page 150. For fast  
PWM mode, refer to Table 62 on page 150, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table  
63 on page 150.  
A change of the COM21:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the  
bits are written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect  
by using the FOC2 strobe bits.  
Modes of Operation  
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare  
pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM21:0) and  
Compare Output mode (COM21:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect  
the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM21:0  
bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or  
non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM21:0 bits control whether the output  
should be set, cleared, or toggled at a Compare Match (See “Compare Match Output  
Unit” on page 141.).  
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 146.  
Normal Mode  
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM21:0 = 0). In this mode the  
counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The  
counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then  
restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag  
(TOV2) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT2 becomes zero. The  
TOV2 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth bit, except that it is only set, not cleared.  
However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV2  
Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to  
consider in the normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.  
The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using  
the Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended,  
since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.

Clear Timer on Compare  
Match (CTC) Mode  
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM21:0 = 2), the OCR2 Register is used to  
manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the  
counter value (TCNT2) matches the OCR2. The OCR2 defines the top value for the  
counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare  
Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.  
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 63. The counter value  
(TCNT2) increases until a Compare Match occurs between TCNT2 and OCR2, and then  
counter (TCNT2) is cleared.

Period  
An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by  
using the OCF2 Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be  
used for updating the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOT-  
TOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with  
care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value  
written to OCR2 is lower than the current value of TCNT2, the counter will miss the  
Compare Match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFF) and  
wrap around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can occur.  
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC2 output can be set to toggle its  
logical level on each Compare Match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle  
mode (COM21:0 = 1). The OC2 value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data  
direction for the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum fre-  
quency of fOC2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2 is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is  
defined by the following equation:  
f

OCn  
2 N (1 + OCRn)  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).  
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV2 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle  
that the counter counts from MAX to 0x00.  
143  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Fast PWM Mode  
The fast Pulse Width Modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 1) provides a high fre-  
quency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM  
option by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to MAX then  
restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare  
(OC2) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT2 and OCR2, and set at BOT-  
TOM. In inverting Compare Output mode, the output is set on Compare Match and  
cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the  
fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM mode that uses dual-  
slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power  
regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small  
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.  
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX  
value. The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram  
for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 64. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram  
shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes  
non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2  
slopes represent compare matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches MAX. If  
the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the com-  
pare value.  
In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC2  
pin. Setting the COM21:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted  
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM21:0 to three (See Table 62 on page  
150). The actual OC2 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the  
port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the  
OC2 Register at the Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2, and clearing (or set-  
ting) the OC2 Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from  
MAX to BOTTOM).

The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:

The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to BOTTOM, the  
output will be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR2 equal  
to MAX will result in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the out-  
put set by the COM21:0 bits.)  
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved  
by setting OC2 to toggle its logical level on each Compare Match (COM21:0 = 1). The  
waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of foc2 = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR2 is set  
to zero. This feature is similar to the OC2 toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer  
feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.  
Phase Correct PWM Mode  
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM21:0 = 3) provides a high resolution phase correct  
PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-  
slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX and then from  
MAX to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC2)  
is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT2 and OCR2 while up-counting, and  
set on the Compare Match while down-counting. In inverting output compare mode, the  
operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency  
than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope  
PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.  
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase  
correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches MAX.  
When the counter reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The TCNT2 value will  
be equal to MAX for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct  
PWM mode is shown on Figure 65. The TCNT2 value is in the timing diagram shown as  
a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted  
and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT2 slopes repre-  
sent compare matches between OCR2 and TCNT2.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV2) is set each time the counter reaches BOT-  
TOM. The Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter  
reaches the BOTTOM value.  
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on  
the OC2 pin. Setting the COM21:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An  
inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM21:0 to three (See Table 63  
on page 150). The actual OC2 value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direc-  
tion for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or  
setting) the OC2 Register at the Compare Match between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the  
counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC2 Register at Compare Match  
between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the  
output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:  
f
clk_I/O  
f
= -----------------  
OCnPCPWM  
N 510  
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).  
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a  
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to  
BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be  
continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have  
the opposite logic values.  
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 65 OCn has a transition from high to low even  
though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry  
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without a Compare Match.  
OCR2 changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 65. When the OCR2 value is MAX  
the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To  
ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the  
result of an up-counting Compare Match.  
The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2, and for that  
reason misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have  
happened on the way up.  
Timer/Counter Timing  
Diagrams  
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in synchronous mode, and the timer clock  
(clkT2) is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In asynchronous mode, clkI/O should  
be replaced by the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include information on  
when Interrupt Flags are set. Figure 66 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter  
operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes  
other than phase correct PWM mode.

• Bit 7 – FOC2: Force Output Compare  
The FOC2 bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode. However, for  
ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2 is  
written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2 bit, an  
immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2 output  
is changed according to its COM21:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2 bit is implemented  
as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM21:0 bits that determines the  
effect of the forced compare.  
A FOC2 strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode  
using OCR2 as TOP.  
The FOC2 bit is always read as zero.  
• Bit 6, 3 – WGM21:0: Waveform Generation Mode  
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum

• Bit 5:4 – COM21:0: Compare Match Output Mode  
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2) behavior. If one or both of the  
COM21:0 bits are set, the OC2 output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O  
pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corre-  
sponding to OC2 pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.  
When OC2 is connected to the pin, the function of the COM21:0 bits depends on the  
WGM21:0 bit setting. Table 61 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0  
bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

• Bit 3 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2  
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O. When  
AS2 is written to one, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to  
the Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin. When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of  
TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be corrupted.  
• Bit 2 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes  
set. When TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is  
cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
• Bit 1 – OCR2UB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2 is written, this bit becomes  
set. When OCR2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is  
cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that OCR2 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
• Bit 0 – TCR2UB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy  
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2 is written, this bit becomes  
set. When TCCR2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is  
cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2 is ready to be  
updated with a new value.  
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update  
Busy Flag is set, the updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional  
interrupt to occur.  
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 are different. When reading  
TCNT2, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2 or TCCR2, the value in the  
temporary storage register is read.

Asynchronous Operation of  
Timer/Counter2  
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.  
Warning: When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of  
Timer/Counter2, the Timer Registers TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be  
corrupted. A safe procedure for switching clock source is:  
1. Disable the Timer/Counter2 interrupts by clearing OCIE2 and TOIE2.  
2. Select clock source by setting AS2 as appropriate.  
3. Write new values to TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2.  
4. To switch to asynchronous operation: Wait for TCN2UB, OCR2UB, and  
TCR2UB.  
5. Clear the Timer/Counter2 Interrupt Flags.  
6. Enable interrupts, if needed.  
The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal. Applying an  
external clock to the TOSC1 pin may result in incorrect Timer/Counter2 operation.  
The CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times the Oscillator  
frequency.  
When writing to one of the registers TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the value is  
transferred to a temporary register, and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1.  
The user should not write a new value before the contents of the temporary register  
have been transferred to its destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have  
their individual temporary register, which means that e.g., writing to TCNT2 does not  
disturb an OCR2 write in progress. To detect that a transfer to the destination  
register has taken place, the Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR has been  
implemented.  
When entering Power-save or Extended Standby mode after having written to  
TCNT2, OCR2, or TCCR2, the user must wait until the written register has been  
updated if Timer/Counter2 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will  
enter sleep mode before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if  
the Output Compare2 interrupt is used to wake up the device, since the output  
compare function is disabled during writing to OCR2 or TCNT2. If the write cycle is  
not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode before the OCR2UB bit returns to  
zero, the device will never receive a Compare Match interrupt, and the MCU will not  
wake up.  
If Timer/Counter2 is used to wake the device up from Power-save or Extended  
Standby mode, precautions must be taken if the user wants to re-enter one of these  
modes: The interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time between  
wake-up and re-entering sleep mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will  
not occur, and the device will fail to wake up. If the user is in doubt whether the time  
before re-entering Power-save or Extended Standby mode is sufficient, the following  
algorithm can be used to ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:  
1. Write a value to TCCR2, TCNT2, or OCR2.  
2. Wait until the corresponding Update Busy Flag in ASSR returns to zero.  
3. Enter Power-save or Extended Standby mode.  
When the asynchronous operation is selected, the 32.768 kHz Oscillator for  
Timer/Counter2 is always running, except in Power-down and Standby modes. After  
a Power-up Reset or wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode, the user should  
be aware of the fact that this Oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize.  
The user is advised to wait for at least one second before using Timer/Counter2  
after Power-up or wake-up from Power-down or Standby mode. The contents of all  
Timer/Counter2 Registers must be considered lost after a wake-up from Power-  
153  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
down or Standby mode due to unstable clock signal upon start-up, no matter  
whether the Oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the TOSC1 pin.  
Description of wake up from Power-save or Extended Standby mode when the  
Timer is clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt condition is met, the wake up  
process is started on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the Timer is  
always advanced by at least one before the processor can read the counter value.  
After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four cycles, it executes the interrupt routine,  
and resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP.  
Reading of the TCNT2 Register shortly after wake-up from Power-save may give an  
incorrect result. Since TCNT2 is clocked on the asynchronous TOSC clock, reading  
TCNT2 must be done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O clock  
domain. Synchronization takes place for every rising TOSC1 edge. When waking up  
from Power-save mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT2 will  
read as the previous value (before entering sleep) until the next rising TOSC1 edge.  
The phase of the TOSC clock after waking up from Power-save mode is essentially  
unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for  
reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:  
1. Write any value to either of the registers OCR2 or TCCR2.  
2. Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.  
3. Read TCNT2.  
During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the Interrupt Flags for the  
Asynchronous Timer takes three processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The Timer  
is therefore advanced by at least one before the processor can read the Timer value  
causing the setting of the Interrupt Flag. The output compare pin is changed on the  
Timer clock and is not synchronized to the processor clock.

The OCF2 bit is set (one) when a Compare Match occurs between the Timer/Counter2  
and the data in OCR2 – Output Compare Register2. OCF2 is cleared by hardware when  
executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2 is cleared by  
writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Com-

TIMER/COUNTER2 CLOCK SOURCE  
clkT2  
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clkT2S. clkT2S is by default connected to  
the main system I/O clock clkIO. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asyn-  
chronously clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real  
Time Counter (RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from  
Port D. A crystal can then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve  
as an independent clock source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use  
with a 32.768 kHz crystal. Applying an external clock source to TOSC1 is not  
recommended.  
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT2S/8, clkT2S/32, clkT2S/64,  
clkT2S/128, clkT2S/256, and clkT2S/1024. Additionally, clkT2S as well as 0 (stop) may be  
selected. Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to  
operate with a predictable prescaler.

Serial Peripheral  
Interface – SPI  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer  
between the ATmega162 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices. The  
ATmega162 SPI includes the following features:  
Full-duplex, Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer  
Master or Slave Operation  
LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer  
Seven Programmable Bit Rates  
End of Transmission Interrupt Flag  
Write Collision Flag Protection  
Wake-up from Idle Mode

/2/4/8/16/32/64/128  
Note:  
1. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2, and Table 32 on page 71 for SPI pin placement.  
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 72.  
The system consists of two Shift Registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Mas-  
ter initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the  
desired Slave. Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective Shift  
Registers, and the Master generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to inter-  
change data. Data is always shifted from Master to Slave on the Master Out – Slave In,  
MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the Master In – Slave Out, MISO, line. After  
each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave by pulling high the Slave Select,  
SS, line.  
157  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
When configured as a Master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line.  
This must be handled by user software before communication can start. When this is  
done, writing a byte to the SPI Data Register starts the SPI clock generator, and the  
hardware shifts the eight bits into the Slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock gener-  
ator stops, setting the End of Transmission Flag (SPIF). If the SPI Interrupt Enable bit  
(SPIE) in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt is requested. The Master may continue  
to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or signal the end of packet by pulling high  
the Slave Select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be kept in the buffer register for  
later use.  
When configured as a Slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated  
as long as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of  
the SPI Data Register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock  
pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely  
shifted, the End of Transmission Flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI interrupt enable bit, SPIE,  
in the SPCR Register is set, an interrupt is requested. The Slave may continue to place  
new data to be sent into SPDR before reading the incoming data. The last incoming byte  
will be kept in the Buffer Register for later use.

The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive  
direction. This means that bytes to be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI Data  
Register before the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data, however, a  
received character must be read from the SPI Data Register before the next character  
has been completely shifted in. Otherwise, the first byte is lost.  
In SPI Slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To  
ensure correct sampling of the clock signal, the frequency of the SPI clock should never  
exceed fosc/4.  
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is  
overridden according to Table 65. For more details on automatic port overrides, refer to  
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 67.

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

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

• Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag  
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF Flag is set. An interrupt is generated if  
SPIE in SPCR is set and global interrupts are enabled. If SS is an input and is driven low  
when the SPI is in master mode, this will also set the SPIF Flag. SPIF is cleared by  
hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the  
SPIF bit is cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with SPIF set, then accessing  
the SPI Data Register (SPDR).  
• Bit 6 – WCOL: Write COLlision Flag  
The WCOL bit is set if the SPI Data Register (SPDR) is written during a data transfer.  
The WCOL bit (and the SPIF bit) are cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register  
with WCOL set, and then accessing the SPI Data Register.  
• Bit 5..1 – Res: Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega162 and will always read as zero.  
• Bit 0 – SPI2X: Double SPI Speed Bit  
When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when  
the SPI is in Master mode (see Table 68). This means that the minimum SCK period will  
be two CPU clock periods. When the SPI is configured as Slave, the SPI is only guaran-  
teed to work at fosc/4 or lower.  
The SPI interface on the ATmega162 is also used for program memory and EEPROM  
downloading or uploading. See page 244 for SPI serial programming and verification.

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.

Data Modes  
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data,  
which are determined by control bits CPHA and CPOL. The SPI data transfer formats  
are shown in Figure 73 and Figure 74. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on oppo-  
site edges of the SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. This is  
clearly seen by summarizing Table 66 and Table 67, as done below:

Asynchronous or Synchronous Operation  
Master or Slave Clocked Synchronous Operation  
High Resolution Baud Rate Generator  
Supports Serial Frames with 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 Data Bits and 1 or 2 Stop Bits  
Odd or Even Parity Generation and Parity Check Supported by Hardware  
Data OverRun Detection  
Framing Error Detection  
Noise Filtering Includes False Start Bit Detection and Digital Low Pass Filter  
Three Separate Interrupts on TX Complete, TX Data Register Empty and RX Complete  
Multi-processor Communication Mode  
Double Speed Asynchronous Communication Mode  
Dual USART  
The ATmega162 has two USARTs, USART0 and USART1. The functionality for both  
USARTs is described below.  
USART0 and USART1 have different I/O Registers as shown in “Register Summary” on  
page 303. Note that in ATmega161 compatibility mode, the double buffering of the  
USART Receive Register is disabled. For details, see “AVR USART vs. AVR UART –  
Compatibility” on page 167. Note also that the shared UBRRHI Register in ATmega161  
has been split into two separate registers, UBRR0H and UBRR1H, in ATmega162.  
A simplified block diagram of the USART Transmitter is shown in Figure 75. CPU acces-  
sible I/O Registers and I/O pins are shown in bold.

The dashed boxes in the block diagram separate the three main parts of the USART  
(listed from the top): Clock Generator, Transmitter and Receiver. Control registers are  
shared by all units. The Clock Generation logic consists of synchronization logic for  
external clock input used by synchronous slave operation, and the baud rate generator.  
The XCK (Transfer Clock) pin is only used by synchronous transfer mode. The Trans-  
mitter consists of a single write buffer, a serial Shift Register, parity generator and  
control logic for handling different serial frame formats. The write buffer allows a contin-  
uous transfer of data without any delay between frames. The Receiver is the most  
complex part of the USART module due to its clock and data recovery units. The recov-  
ery units are used for asynchronous data reception. In addition to the recovery units, the  
Receiver includes a Parity Checker, Control logic, a Shift Register and a two level  
receive buffer (UDR). The receiver supports the same frame formats as the Transmitter,  
and can detect Frame Error, Data OverRun and Parity Errors.

AVR USART vs. AVR UART –  
Compatibility  
The USART is fully compatible with the AVR UART regarding:  
Bit locations inside all USART Registers  
Baud Rate Generation  
Transmitter Operation  
Transmit Buffer Functionality  
Receiver Operation  
However, the receive buffering has two improvements that will affect the compatibility in  
some special cases:  
A second Buffer Register has been added. The two buffer registers operate as a  
circular FIFO buffer. Therefore the UDR must only be read once for each incoming  
data! More important is the fact that the Error Flags (FE and DOR) and the ninth  
data bit (RXB8) are buffered with the data in the receive buffer. Therefore the status  
bits must always be read before the UDR Register is read. Otherwise the error  
status will be lost since the buffer state is lost.  
The Receiver Shift Register can now act as a third buffer level. This is done by  
allowing the received data to remain in the serial Shift Register (see Figure 75) if the  
Buffer Registers are full, until a new start bit is detected. The USART is therefore  
more resistant to Data OverRun (DOR) error conditions.  
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register  
location:  
CHR9 is changed to UCSZ2.  
OR is changed to DOR.  
Clock Generation  
The Clock Generation logic generates the base clock for the Transmitter and Receiver.  
The USART supports four modes of clock operation: Normal asynchronous, Double  
Speed asynchronous, Master synchronous and Slave synchronous mode. The UMSEL  
bit in USART Control and Status Register C (UCSRC) selects between asynchronous  
and synchronous operation. Double Speed (asynchronous mode only) is controlled by  
the U2X found in the UCSRA Register. When using synchronous mode (UMSEL = 1),  
the Data Direction Register for the XCK pin (DDR_XCK) controls whether the clock  
source is internal (Master mode) or external (Slave mode). The XCK pin is only active  
when using synchronous mode.  
Figure 76 shows a block diagram of the clock generation logic.

Internal Clock Generation –  
The Baud Rate Generator  
Internal clock generation is used for the asynchronous and the synchronous master  
modes of operation. The description in this section refers to Figure 76.  
The USART Baud Rate Register (UBRR) and the down-counter connected to it function  
as a programmable prescaler or baud rate generator. The down-counter, running at sys-  
tem clock (fosc), is loaded with the UBRR value each time the counter has counted  
down to zero or when the UBRRL Register is written. A clock is generated each time the  
counter reaches zero. This clock is the baud rate generator clock output (=  
fosc/(UBRR+1)). The Transmitter divides the baud rate generator clock output by 2, 8 or  
16 depending on mode. The baud rate generator output is used directly by the receiver’s  
clock and data recovery units. However, the recovery units use a state machine that  
uses 2, 8 or 16 states depending on mode set by the state of the UMSEL, U2X and  
DDR_XCK bits.  
Table 70 contains equations for calculating the baud rate (in bits per second) and for  
calculating the UBRR value for each mode of operation using an internally generated  
clock source.

Double Speed Operation  
(U2X)  
The transfer rate can be doubled by setting the U2X bit in UCSRA. Setting this bit only  
has effect for the asynchronous operation. Set this bit to zero when using synchronous  
operation.  
Setting this bit will reduce the divisor of the baud rate divider from 16 to 8, effectively  
doubling the transfer rate for asynchronous communication. Note however that the  
Receiver will in this case only use half the number of samples (reduced from 16 to 8) for  
data sampling and clock recovery, and therefore a more accurate baud rate setting and  
system clock are required when this mode is used. For the Transmitter, there are no  
downsides.  
External Clock  
External clocking is used by the synchronous slave modes of operation. The description  
in this section refers to Figure 76 for details.  
External clock input from the XCK pin is sampled by a synchronization register to mini-  
mize the chance of meta-stability. The output from the synchronization register must  
then pass through an edge detector before it can be used by the Transmitter and  
Receiver. This process introduces a two CPU clock period delay and therefore the max-  
imum external XCK clock frequency is limited by the following equation:  
f
OSC  
-----------  
f

XCK

Note that fosc depends on the stability of the system clock source. It is therefore recom-  
mended to add some margin to avoid possible loss of data due to frequency variations.  
Synchronous Clock Operation When synchronous mode is used (UMSEL = 1), the XCK pin will be used as either clock  
input (Slave) or clock output (Master). The dependency between the clock edges and  
data sampling or data change is the same. The basic principle is that data input (on  
RxD) is sampled at the opposite XCK clock edge of the edge the data output (TxD) is  
changed.

The UCPOL bit UCRSC selects which XCK clock edge is used for data sampling and  
which is used for data change. As Figure 77 shows, when UCPOL is zero the data will  
be changed at rising XCK edge and sampled at falling XCK edge. If UCPOL is set, the  
data will be changed at falling XCK edge and sampled at rising XCK edge.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
Frame Formats  
A serial frame is defined to be one character of data bits with synchronization bits (start  
and stop bits), and optionally a parity bit for error checking. The USART accepts all 30  
combinations of the following as valid frame formats:  
1 start bit  
5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 data bits  
no, even or odd parity bit  
1 or 2 stop bits  
A frame starts with the start bit followed by the least significant data bit. Then the next  
data bits, up to a total of nine, are succeeding, ending with the most significant bit. If  
enabled, the parity bit is inserted after the data bits, before the stop bits. When a com-  
plete frame is transmitted, it can be directly followed by a new frame, or the  
communication line can be set to an idle (high) state. Figure 78 illustrates the possible  
combinations of the frame formats. Bits inside brackets are optional.

The frame format used by the USART is set by the UCSZ2:0, UPM1:0 and USBS bits in  
UCSRB and UCSRC. The Receiver and Transmitter use the same setting. Note that  
changing the setting of any of these bits will corrupt all ongoing communication for both  
the Receiver and Transmitter.  
The USART Character SiZe (UCSZ2:0) bits select the number of data bits in the frame.  
The USART Parity mode (UPM1:0) bits enable and set the type of parity bit. The selec-  
tion between one or two stop bits is done by the USART Stop Bit Select (USBS) bit. The  
receiver ignores the second stop bit. An FE (Frame Error) will therefore only be detected  
in the cases where the first stop bit is zero.  
Parity Bit Calculation  
The parity bit is calculated by doing an exclusive-or of all the data bits. If odd parity is  
used, the result of the exclusive or is inverted. The relation between the parity bit and  
data bits is as follows::

If used, the parity bit is located between the last data bit and first stop bit of a serial  
frame.  
USART Initialization  
The USART has to be initialized before any communication can take place. The initial-  
ization process normally consists of setting the baud rate, setting frame format and  
enabling the Transmitter or the Receiver depending on the usage. For interrupt driven  
USART operation, the Global Interrupt Flag should be cleared (and interrupts globally  
disabled) when doing the initialization.  
Before doing a re-initialization with changed baud rate or frame format, be sure that  
there are no ongoing transmissions during the period the registers are changed. The  
TXC Flag can be used to check that the Transmitter has completed all transfers, and the  
RXC Flag can be used to check that there are no unread data in the receive buffer. Note  
that the TXC Flag must be cleared before each transmission (before UDR is written) if it  
is used for this purpose.  
The following simple USART initialization code examples show one assembly and one  
C function that are equal in functionality. The examples assume asynchronous opera-  
tion using polling (no interrupts enabled) and a fixed frame format. The baud rate is  
given as a function parameter. For the assembly code, the baud rate parameter is  
assumed to be stored in the r17:r16 Registers. When the function writes to the UCSRC  
Register, the URSEL bit (MSB) must be set due to the sharing of I/O location by UBRRH  
and UCSRC.

UCSRB = (1<<RXEN)|(1<<TXEN);  
/* Set frame format: 8data, 2stop bit */  
UCSRC = (1<<URSEL)|(1<<USBS)|(3<<UCSZ0);  
}
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
More advanced initialization routines can be made that include frame format as parame-  
ters, disable interrupts and so on. However, many applications use a fixed setting of the  
171  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Baud and Control Registers, and for these types of applications the initialization code  
can be placed directly in the main routine, or be combined with initialization code for  
other I/O modules.  
Data Transmission – The The USART Transmitter is enabled by setting the Transmit Enable (TXEN) bit in the  
UCSRB Register. When the Transmitter is enabled, the normal port operation of the  
USART Transmitter  
TxD pin is overridden by the USART and given the function as the transmitter’s serial  
output. The baud rate, mode of operation and frame format must be set up once before  
doing any transmissions. If synchronous operation is used, the clock on the XCK pin will  
be overridden and used as transmission clock.  
Sending Frames with 5 to 8  
Data Bit  
A data transmission is initiated by loading the transmit buffer with the data to be trans-  
mitted. The CPU can load the transmit buffer by writing to the UDR I/O location. The  
buffered data in the transmit buffer will be moved to the Shift Register when the Shift  
Register is ready to send a new frame. The Shift Register is loaded with new data if it is  
in idle state (no ongoing transmission) or immediately after the last stop bit of the previ-  
ous frame is transmitted. When the Shift Register is loaded with new data, it will transfer  
one complete frame at the rate given by the Baud Register, U2X bit or by XCK depend-  
ing on mode of operation.  
The following code examples show a simple USART transmit function based on polling  
of the Data Register Empty (UDRE) Flag. When using frames with less than eight bits,  
the most significant bits written to the UDR are ignored. The USART has to be initialized  
before the function can be used. For the assembly code, the data to be sent is assumed  
to be stored in Register R16  
Assembly Code Example(1)  
USART_Transmit:  
; Wait for empty transmit buffer  
sbis UCSRA,UDRE  
rjmp USART_Transmit  
; Put data (r16) into buffer, sends the data  
out  
ret  
UDR,r16  
C Code Example(1)  
void USART_Transmit( unsigned char data )  
{
/* Wait for empty transmit buffer */  
while ( !( UCSRA & (1<<UDRE)) )  
;
/* Put data into buffer, sends the data */  
UDR = data;  
}
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
The function simply waits for the transmit buffer to be empty by checking the UDRE  
Flag, before loading it with new data to be transmitted. If the Data Register Empty inter-  
rupt is utilized, the interrupt routine writes the data into the buffer.

Sending Frames with 9 Data  
Bit  
If 9-bit characters are used (UCSZ = 7), the ninth bit must be written to the TXB8 bit in  
UCSRB before the low byte of the character is written to UDR. The following code  
examples show a transmit function that handles 9-bit characters. For the assembly  
code, the data to be sent is assumed to be stored in Registers R17:R16.  
Assembly Code Example(1)

; Wait for empty transmit buffer

rjmp USART_Transmit  
; Copy 9th bit from r17 to TXB8

void USART_Transmit( unsigned int data )  
{
/* Wait for empty transmit buffer */  
while ( !( UCSRA & (1<<UDRE)) )  
;
/* Copy 9th bit to TXB8 */  
UCSRB &= ~(1<<TXB8);  
if ( data & 0x0100 )  
UCSRB |= (1<<TXB8);  
/* Put data into buffer, sends the data */  
UDR = data;  
}
Note:  
1. These transmit functions are written to be general functions. They can be optimized if  
the contents of the UCSRB is static. For example, only the TXB8 bit of the UCSRB  
Register is used after initialization.  
The ninth bit can be used for indicating an address frame when using multi processor  
communication mode or for other protocol handling as for example synchronization.  
Transmitter Flags and  
Interrupts  
The USART Transmitter has two flags that indicate its state: USART Data Register  
Empty (UDRE) and Transmit Complete (TXC). Both flags can be used for generating  
interrupts.  
The Data Register Empty (UDRE) Flag indicates whether the transmit buffer is ready to  
receive new data. This bit is set when the transmit buffer is empty, and cleared when the  
transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted that has not yet been moved into the Shift  
Register. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero when writing  
the UCSRA Register.  
When the Data Register Empty Interrupt Enable (UDRIE) bit in UCSRB is written to one,  
the USART Data Register Empty Interrupt will be executed as long as UDRE is set (pro-  
vided that global interrupts are enabled). UDRE is cleared by writing UDR. When  
interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data Register Empty Interrupt routine  
must either write new data to UDR in order to clear UDRE or disable the Data Register  
173  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Empty Interrupt, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt routine  
terminates.  
The Transmit Complete (TXC) Flag bit is set one when the entire frame in the Transmit  
Shift Register has been shifted out and there are no new data currently present in the  
transmit buffer. The TXC Flag bit is automatically cleared when a transmit complete  
interrupt is executed, or it can be cleared by writing a one to its bit location. The TXC  
Flag is useful in half-duplex communication interfaces (like the RS-485 standard), where  
a transmitting application must enter Receive mode and free the communication bus  
immediately after completing the transmission.  
When the Transmit Compete Interrupt Enable (TXCIE) bit in UCSRB is set, the USART  
Transmit Complete Interrupt will be executed when the TXC Flag becomes set (pro-  
vided that global interrupts are enabled). When the transmit complete interrupt is used,  
the interrupt handling routine does not have to clear the TXC Flag, this is done automat-  
ically when the interrupt is executed.  
Parity Generator  
The Parity Generator calculates the parity bit for the serial frame data. When parity bit is  
enabled (UPM1 = 1), the transmitter control logic inserts the parity bit between the last  
data bit and the first stop bit of the frame that is sent.  
Disabling the Transmitter  
The disabling of the Transmitter (setting the TXEN to zero) will not become effective  
until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed, i.e., when the Transmit Shift  
Register and Transmit Buffer Register do not contain data to be transmitted. When dis-  
abled, the Transmitter will no longer override the TxD pin.  
Data Reception – The  
USART Receiver  
The USART Receiver is enabled by writing the Receive Enable (RXEN) bit in the  
UCSRB Register to one. When the receiver is enabled, the normal pin operation of the  
RxD pin is overridden by the USART and given the function as the receiver’s serial  
input. The baud rate, mode of operation and frame format must be set up once before  
any serial reception can be done. If synchronous operation is used, the clock on the  
XCK pin will be used as transfer clock.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Receiving Frames with 5 to 8  
Data Bits  
The Receiver starts data reception when it detects a valid start bit. Each bit that follows  
the start bit will be sampled at the baud rate or XCK clock, and shifted into the Receive  
Shift Register until the first stop bit of a frame is received. A second stop bit will be  
ignored by the Receiver. When the first stop bit is received, i.e., a complete serial frame  
is present in the Receive Shift Register, the contents of the Shift Register will be moved  
into the receive buffer. The receive buffer can then be read by reading the UDR I/O  
location.  
The following code example shows a simple USART receive function based on polling  
of the Receive Complete (RXC) Flag. When using frames with less than eight bits the  
most significant bits of the data read from the UDR will be masked to zero. The USART  
has to be initialized before the function can be used.

{
/* Wait for data to be received */  
while ( !(UCSRA & (1<<RXC)) )  
;
/* Get and return received data from buffer */  
return UDR;  
}
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
The function simply waits for data to be present in the receive buffer by checking the  
RXC Flag, before reading the buffer and returning the value.

UDR I/O location will change the state of the receive buffer FIFO and consequently the  
TXB8, FE, DOR and UPE bits, which all are stored in the FIFO, will change.  
The following code example shows a simple USART receive function that handles both  
nine bit characters and the status bits.

The receive function example reads all the I/O Registers into the Register File before  
any computation is done. This gives an optimal receive buffer utilization since the buffer  
location read will be free to accept new data as early as possible.  
Receive Compete Flag and  
Interrupt  
The USART Receiver has one flag that indicates the receiver state.  
The Receive Complete (RXC) Flag indicates if there are unread data present in the  
receive buffer. This flag is one when unread data exist in the receive buffer, and zero  
when the receive buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver  
is disabled (RXEN = 0), the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXC bit  
will become zero.  
When the Receive Complete Interrupt Enable (RXCIE) in UCSRB is set, the USART  
Receive Complete Interrupt will be executed as long as the RXC Flag is set (provided  
that global interrupts are enabled). When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the  
receive complete routine must read the received data from UDR in order to clear the  
RXC Flag, otherwise a new interrupt will occur once the interrupt routine terminates.  
Receiver Error Flags  
The USART Receiver has three Error Flags: Frame Error (FE), Data OverRun (DOR)  
and Parity Error (UPE). All can be accessed by reading UCSRA. Common for the Error  
Flags is that they are located in the receive buffer together with the frame for which they  
indicate the error status. Due to the buffering of the Error Flags, the UCSRA must be  
read before the receive buffer (UDR), since reading the UDR I/O location changes the  
buffer read location. Another equality for the Error Flags is that they can not be altered  
by software doing a write to the flag location. However, all flags must be set to zero  
when the UCSRA is written for upward compatibility of future USART implementations.  
None of the Error Flags can generate interrupts.  
The Frame Error (FE) Flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable  
frame stored in the receive buffer. The FE Flag is zero when the stop bit was correctly  
read (as one), and the FE Flag will be one when the stop bit was incorrect (zero). This  
flag can be used for detecting out-of-sync conditions, detecting break conditions and  
protocol handling. The FE Flag is not affected by the setting of the USBS bit in UCSRC  
since the receiver ignores all, except for the first, stop bits. For compatibility with future  
devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.  
The Data OverRun (DOR) Flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition.  
A Data OverRun occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new char-  
acter waiting in the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. If the DOR  
Flag is set there was one or more serial frame lost between the frame last read from  
UDR, and the next frame read from UDR. For compatibility with future devices, always  
write this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA. The DOR Flag is cleared when the frame  
received was successfully moved from the Shift Register to the receive buffer.  
The Parity Error (UPE) Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive buffer had a Par-  
ity Error when received. If parity check is not enabled the UPE bit will always be read  
zero. For compatibility with future devices, always set this bit to zero when writing to  
UCSRA. For more details see “Parity Bit Calculation” on page 170 and “Parity Checker”  
on page 178.  
177  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Parity Checker  
The Parity Checker is active when the high USART Parity mode (UPM1) bit is set. Type  
of parity check to be performed (odd or even) is selected by the UPM0 bit. When  
enabled, the Parity Checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and  
compares the result with the parity bit from the serial frame. The result of the check is  
stored in the receive buffer together with the received data and stop bits. The Parity  
Error (UPE) Flag can then be read by software to check if the frame had a Parity Error.  
The UPE bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a  
parity error when received and the parity checking was enabled at that point (UPM1 =  
1). This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is read.  
Disabling the Receiver  
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from  
ongoing receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (i.e., the RXEN is set to zero)  
the receiver will no longer override the normal function of the RxD port pin. The receiver  
buffer FIFO will be flushed when the receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer  
will be lost  
Flushing the Receive Buffer  
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer  
will be emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed  
during normal operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDR I/O loca-  
tion until the RXC Flag is cleared. The following code example shows how to flush the  
receive buffer.  
Assembly Code Example(1)  
USART_Flush:  
sbis UCSRA, RXC

r16, UDR  
rjmp USART_Flush  
C Code Example(1)

unsigned char dummy;  
while ( UCSRA & (1<<RXC) ) dummy = UDR;  
}
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
Asynchronous Data  
Reception  
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchro-  
nous data reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally  
generated baud rate clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin.  
The data recovery logic samples and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improv-  
ing the noise immunity of the receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range  
depends on the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming  
frames, and the frame size in number of bits.  
Asynchronous Clock  
Recovery  
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Fig-  
ure 79 illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample  
rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal mode, and 8 times the baud rate for Double  
Speed mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the  
sampling process. Note the larger time variation when using the double speed mode

When the clock recovery logic detects a high (idle) to low (start) transition on the RxD  
line, the start bit detection sequence is initiated. Let sample 1 denote the first zero-sam-  
ple as shown in the figure. The clock recovery logic then uses samples 8, 9 and 10 for  
Normal mode, and samples 4, 5 and 6 for Double Speed mode (indicated with sample  
numbers inside boxes on the figure), to decide if a valid start bit is received. If two or  
more of these three samples have logical high levels (the majority wins), the start bit is  
rejected as a noise spike and the receiver starts looking for the next high to low-transi-  
tion. If however, a valid start bit is detected, the clock recovery logic is synchronized and  
the data recovery can begin. The synchronization process is repeated for each start bit.  
Asynchronous Data Recovery When the receiver clock is synchronized to the start bit, the data recovery can begin.  
The data recovery unit uses a state machine that has 16 states for each bit in Normal  
mode and 8 states for each bit in Double Speed mode. Figure 80 shows the sampling of  
the data bits and the parity bit. Each of the samples is given a number that is equal to  
the state of the recovery unit.

The decision of the logic level of the received bit is taken by doing a majority voting of  
the logic value to the three samples in the center of the received bit. The center samples  
are emphasized on the figure by having the sample number inside boxes. The majority  
voting process is done as follows: If two or all three samples have high levels, the  
received bit is registered to be a logic 1. If two or all three samples have low levels, the  
received bit is registered to be a logic 0. This majority voting process acts as a low pass  
filter for the incoming signal on the RxD pin. The recovery process is then repeated until  
a complete frame is received. Including the first stop bit. Note that the receiver only uses  
the first stop bit of a frame.  
Figure 81 shows the sampling of the stop bit and the earliest possible beginning of the  
start bit of the next frame.

The same majority voting is done to the stop bit as done for the other bits in the frame. If  
the stop bit is registered to have a logic 0 value, the Frame Error (FE) Flag will be set.  
A new high to low transition indicating the start bit of a new frame can come right after  
the last of the bits used for majority voting. For Normal Speed mode, the first low level  
sample can be at point marked (A) in Figure 81. For Double Speed mode the first low  
level must be delayed to (B). (C) marks a stop bit of full length. The early start bit detec-  
tion influences the operational range of the receiver.  
Asynchronous Operational  
Range  
The operational range of the receiver is dependent on the mismatch between the  
received bit rate and the internally generated baud rate. If the Transmitter is sending  
frames at too fast or too slow bit rates, or the internally generated baud rate of the  
receiver does not have a similar (see Table 71) base frequency, the receiver will not be  
able to synchronize the frames to the start bit.  
The following equations can be used to calculate the ratio of the incoming data rate and  
internal receiver baud rate.

The recommendations of the maximum receiver baud rate error was made under the  
assumption that the Receiver and Transmitter equally divides the maximum total error.  
There are two possible sources for the receivers baud rate error. The receiver’s system  
clock (XTAL) will always have some minor instability over the supply voltage range and  
the temperature range. When using a crystal to generate the system clock, this is rarely  
a problem, but for a resonator the system clock may differ more than 2% depending of  
the resonators tolerance. The second source for the error is more controllable. The baud  
rate generator can not always do an exact division of the system frequency to get the  
baud rate wanted. In this case an UBRR value that gives an acceptable low error can be  
used if possible.  
Multi-processor  
Communication Mode  
Setting the Multi-processor Communication mode (MPCM) bit in UCSRA enables a fil-  
tering function of incoming frames received by the USART Receiver. Frames that do not  
contain address information will be ignored and not put into the receive buffer. This  
effectively reduces the number of incoming frames that has to be handled by the CPU,  
in a system with multiple MCUs that communicate via the same serial bus. The Trans-  
mitter is unaffected by the MPCM setting, but has to be used differently when it is a part  
of a system utilizing the Multi-processor Communication mode.  
If the receiver is set up to receive frames that contain 5 to 8 data bits, then the first stop  
bit indicates if the frame contains data or address information. If the receiver is set up for  
frames with nine data bits, then the ninth bit (RXB8) is used for identifying address and  
data frames. When the frame type bit (the first stop or the ninth bit) is one, the frame  
contains an address. When the frame type bit is zero the frame is a data frame.  
181  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
The Multi-processor Communication mode enables several slave MCUs to receive data  
from a Master MCU. This is done by first decoding an address frame to find out which  
MCU has been addressed. If a particular slave MCU has been addressed, it will receive  
the following data frames as normal, while the other slave MCUs will ignore the received  
frames until another address frame is received.  
Using MPCM  
For an MCU to act as a Master MCU, it can use a 9-bit character frame format (UCSZ =  
7). The ninth bit (TXB8) must be set when an address frame (TXB8 = 1) or cleared when  
a data frame (TXB = 0) is being transmitted. The slave MCUs must in this case be set to  
use a 9-bit character frame format.  
The following procedure should be used to exchange data in Multi-processor Communi-  
cation mode:  
1. All Slave MCUs are in Multi-processor Communication mode (MPCM in UCSRA  
is set).  
2. The Master MCU sends an address frame, and all slaves receive and read this  
frame. In the slave MCUs, the RXC Flag in UCSRA will be set as normal.  
3. Each Slave MCU reads the UDR Register and determines if it has been  
selected. If so, it clears the MPCM bit in UCSRA, otherwise it waits for the next  
address byte and keeps the MPCM setting.  
4. The addressed MCU will receive all data frames until a new address frame is  
received. The other Slave MCUs, which still have the MPCM bit set, will ignore  
the data frames.  
5. When the last data frame is received by the addressed MCU, the addressed  
MCU sets the MPCM bit and waits for a new address frame from master. The  
process then repeats from 2.  
Using any of the 5- to 8-bit character frame formats is possible, but impractical since the  
receiver must change between using n and n+1 character frame formats. This makes  
full-duplex operation difficult since the Transmitter and Receiver uses the same charac-  
ter size setting. If 5 to 8 bit character frames are used, the Transmitter must be set to  
use two stop bit (USBS = 1) since the first stop bit is used for indicating the frame type.  
Do not use Read-Modify-Write instructions (SBI and CBI) to set or clear the MPCM bit.  
The MPCM bit shares the same I/O location as the TXC Flag and this might accidentally  
be cleared when using SBI or CBI instructions.

Accessing UBRRH/  
UCSRC Registers  
The UBRRH Register shares the same I/O location as the UCSRC Register. Therefore  
some special consideration must be taken when accessing this I/O location.  
Write Access  
When doing a write access of this I/O location, the high bit of the value written, the  
USART Register Select (URSEL) bit, controls which one of the two registers that will be  
written. If URSEL is zero during a write operation, the UBRRH value will be updated. If  
URSEL is one, the UCSRC setting will be updated.  
The following code examples show how to access the two registers.  
Assembly Code Examples(1)  
...  
; Set UBRRH to 2  
ldi r16,0x02  
out UBRRH,r16  
...  
; Set the USBS and the UCSZ1 bit to one, and  
; the remaining bits to zero.  
ldi r16,(1<<URSEL)|(1<<USBS)|(1<<UCSZ1)  
out UCSRC,r16  
...  
C Code Examples(1)  
...  
/* Set UBRRH to 2 */  
UBRRH = 0x02;  
...  
/* Set the USBS and the UCSZ1 bit to one, and */  
/* the remaining bits to zero. */  
UCSRC = (1<<URSEL)|(1<<USBS)|(1<<UCSZ1);  
...  
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
As the code examples illustrate, write accesses of the two registers are relatively unaf-  
fected of the sharing of I/O location.  
183  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Read Access  
Doing a read access to the UBRRH or the UCSRC Register is a more complex opera-  
tion. However, in most applications, it is rarely necessary to read any of these registers.  
The read access is controlled by a timed sequence. Reading the I/O location once  
returns the UBRRH Register contents. If the register location was read in previous sys-  
tem clock cycle, reading the register in the current clock cycle will return the UCSRC  
contents. Note that the timed sequence for reading the UCSRC is an atomic operation.  
Interrupts must therefore be controlled (e.g., by disabling interrupts globally) during the  
read operation.  
The following code example shows how to read the UCSRC Register contents.  
Assembly Code Example(1)  
USART_ReadUCSRC:  
; Read UCSRC  
in r16,UBRRH  
in r16,UCSRC  
ret  
C Code Example(1)  
unsigned char USART_ReadUCSRC( void )  
{
unsigned char ucsrc;  
/* Read UCSRC */  
ucsrc = UBRRH;  
ucsrc = UCSRC;  
return ucsrc;  
}
Note:  
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.  
The assembly code example returns the UCSRC value in r16.  
Reading the UBRRH contents is not an atomic operation and therefore it can be read as  
an ordinary register, as long as the previous instruction did not access the register  
location.

The USART Transmit Data Buffer Register and USART Receive Data Buffer Registers  
share the same I/O address referred to as USART Data Register or UDR. The Transmit  
Data Buffer Register (TXB) will be the destination for data written to the UDR Register  
location. Reading the UDR Register location will return the contents of the Receive Data  
Buffer Register (RXB).  
For 5-, 6-, or 7-bit characters the upper unused bits will be ignored by the Transmitter  
and set to zero by the Receiver.  
The transmit buffer can only be written when the UDRE Flag in the UCSRA Register is  
set. Data written to UDR when the UDRE Flag is not set, will be ignored by the USART  
Transmitter. When data is written to the transmit buffer, and the Transmitter is enabled,  
the Transmitter will load the data into the Transmit Shift Register when the Shift Register  
is empty. Then the data will be serially transmitted on the TxD pin.  
The receive buffer consists of a two level FIFO. The FIFO will change its state whenever  
the receive buffer is accessed. Due to this behavior of the receive buffer, do not use  
read modify write instructions (SBI and CBI) on this location. Be careful when using bit  
test instructions (SBIC and SBIS), since these also will change the state of the FIFO.

• Bit 7 – RXC: USART Receive Complete  
This flag bit is set when there are unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the  
receive buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). If the receiver is dis-  
abled, the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXC bit will become zero.  
The RXC Flag can be used to generate a Receive Complete interrupt (see description of  
the RXCIE bit).  
• Bit 6 – TXC: USART Transmit Complete  
This flag bit is set when the entire frame in the Transmit Shift Register has been shifted  
out and there are no new data currently present in the transmit buffer (UDR). The TXC  
Flag bit is automatically cleared when a transmit complete interrupt is executed, or it can  
be cleared by writing a one to its bit location. The TXC Flag can generate a Transmit  
Complete interrupt (see description of the TXCIE bit).  
• Bit 5 – UDRE: USART Data Register Empty  
The UDRE Flag indicates if the transmit buffer (UDR) is ready to receive new data. If  
UDRE is one, the buffer is empty, and therefore ready to be written. The UDRE Flag can  
generate a Data Register Empty interrupt (see description of the UDRIE bit).  
185  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
UDRE is set after a Reset to indicate that the transmitter is ready.  
• Bit 4 – FE: Frame Error  
This bit is set if the next character in the receive buffer had a Frame Error when  
received. I.e., when the first stop bit of the next character in the receive buffer is zero.  
This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is read. The FE bit is zero when the stop  
bit of received data is one. Always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.  
• Bit 3 – DOR: Data OverRun  
This bit is set if a Data OverRun condition is detected. A data overrun occurs when the  
receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in the reCeive Shift  
Register, and a new start bit is detected. This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is  
read. Always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.  
• Bit 2 – UPE: Parity Error  
This bit is set if the next character in the receive buffer had a Parity Error when received  
and the Parity Checking was enabled at that point (UPM1 = 1). This bit is valid until the  
receive buffer (UDR) is read. Always set this bit to zero when writing to UCSRA.  
• Bit 1 – U2X: Double the USART Transmission Speed  
This bit only has effect for the asynchronous operation. Write this bit to zero when using  
synchronous operation.  
Writing this bit to one will reduce the divisor of the baud rate divider from 16 to 8 effec-  
tively doubling the transfer rate for asynchronous communication.  
• Bit 0 – MPCM: Multi-processor Communication Mode  
This bit enables the Multi-processor Communication mode. When the MPCM bit is writ-  
ten to one, all the incoming frames received by the USART receiver that do not contain  
address information will be ignored. The transmitter is unaffected by the MPCM setting.  
For more detailed information see “Multi-processor Communication Mode” on page 181.

• Bit 7 – RXCIE: RX Complete Interrupt Enable  
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the RXC Flag. A USART Receive Complete  
interrupt will be generated only if the RXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt  
Flag in SREG is written to one and the RXC bit in UCSRA is set.  
• Bit 6 – TXCIE: TX Complete Interrupt Enable  
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the TXC Flag. A USART Transmit Complete  
interrupt will be generated only if the TXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt  
Flag in SREG is written to one and the TXC bit in UCSRA is set.

rupt will be generated only if the UDRIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in  
SREG is written to one and the UDRE bit in UCSRA is set.  
• Bit 4 – RXEN: Receiver Enable  
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Receiver. The Receiver will override normal  
port operation for the RxD pin when enabled. Disabling the Receiver will flush the  
receive buffer invalidating the FE, DOR and UPE Flags.  
• Bit 3 – TXEN: Transmitter Enable  
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Transmitter. The Transmitter will override nor-  
mal port operation for the TxD pin when enabled. The disabling of the Transmitter  
(writing TXEN to zero) will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmis-  
sions are completed, i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register and Transmit Buffer Register  
do not contain data to be transmitted. When disabled, the Transmitter will no longer  
override the TxD port.  
• Bit 2 – UCSZ2: Character Size  
The UCSZ2 bits combined with the UCSZ1:0 bit in UCSRC sets the number of data bits  
(character size) in a frame the Receiver and Transmitter use.  
• Bit 1 – RXB8: Receive Data Bit 8  
RXB8 is the ninth data bit of the received character when operating with serial frames  
with nine data bits. Must be read before reading the low bits from UDR.  
• Bit 0 – TXB8: Transmit Data Bit 8  
TXB8 is the 9th data bit in the character to be transmitted when operating with serial  
frames with 9 data bits. Must be written before writing the low bits to UDR.

• Bit 15 – URSEL: Register Select  
This bit selects between accessing the UBRRH or the UCSRC Register. It is read as  
zero when reading UBRRH. The URSEL must be zero when writing the UBRRH.  
• Bit 14:12 – Reserved Bits  
These bits are reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, these bit  
must be written to zero when UBRRH is written.

2513F–AVR–12/03  
• Bit 11:0 – UBRR11:0: USART Baud Rate Register  
This is a 12-bit register which contains the USART baud rate. The UBRRH contains the  
four most significant bits, and the UBRRL contains the eight least significant bits of the  
USART baud rate. Ongoing transmissions by the transmitter and receiver will be cor-  
rupted if the baud rate is changed. Writing UBRRL will trigger an immediate update of  
the baud rate prescaler.  
Examples of Baud Rate  
Setting  
For standard crystal and resonator frequencies, the most commonly used baud rates for  
asynchronous operation can be generated by using the UBRR settings in Table 78.  
UBRR values which yield an actual baud rate differing less than 0.5% from the target  
baud rate, are bold in the table. Higher error ratings are acceptable, but the receiver will  
have less noise resistance when the error ratings are high, especially for large serial  
frames (see “Asynchronous Operational Range” on page 180). The error values are cal-  
culated using the following equation:  
BaudRateClosest Match  
Error[%] = ------------------------------------------------------ – 1 100%  
BaudRate

Analog Comparator  
The Analog Comparator compares the input values on the positive pin AIN0 and nega-  
tive pin AIN1. When the voltage on the positive pin AIN0 is higher than the voltage on  
the negative pin AIN1, the Analog Comparator Output, ACO, is set. The comparator’s  
output can be set to trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture function. In addition, the  
comparator can trigger a separate interrupt, exclusive to the Analog Comparator. The  
user can select Interrupt triggering on comparator output rise, fall or toggle. A block dia-  
gram of the comparator and its surrounding logic is shown in Figure 82.

• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable  
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the Analog Comparator is switched off.  
This bit can be set at any time to turn off the Analog Comparator. This will reduce power  
consumption in Active and Idle mode. When changing the ACD bit, the Analog Compar-  
ator Interrupt must be disabled by clearing the ACIE bit in ACSR. Otherwise an interrupt  
can occur when the bit is changed.  
• Bit 6 – ACBG: Analog Comparator Bandgap Select  
When this bit is set, a fixed bandgap reference voltage replaces the positive input to the  
Analog Comparator. When this bit is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the positive input of the  
Analog Comparator. See “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 51.  
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output  
The output of the Analog Comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to  
ACO. The synchronization introduces a delay of 1 - 2 clock cycles.  
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set by hardware when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode  
defined by ACIS1 and ACIS0. The Analog Comparator interrupt routine is executed if  
194  
ATmega162/V

ATmega162/V  
the ACIE bit is set and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware when execut-  
ing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a  
logic one to the flag.  
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable  
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Ana-  
log Comparator interrupt is activated. When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.  
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable  
When written logic one, this bit enables the Input Capture function in Timer/Counter1 to  
be triggered by the Analog Comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly  
connected to the Input Capture front-end logic, making the comparator utilize the noise  
canceler and edge select features of the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture interrupt. When  
written logic zero, no connection between the Analog Comparator and the Input Capture  
function exists. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture inter-  
rupt, the TICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) must be set.  
• 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 82.

Overview  
The AVR IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG interface can be used for  
Testing PCBs by using the JTAG Boundary-scan capability.  
Programming the non-volatile memories, Fuses and Lock bits.  
On-chip debugging.  
A brief description is given in the following sections. Detailed descriptions for Program-  
ming via the JTAG interface, and using the Boundary-scan Chain can be found in the  
sections “Programming via the JTAG Interface” on page 249 and “IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)  
Boundary-scan” on page 203, respectively. The On-chip Debug support is considered  
being private JTAG instructions, and distributed within ATMEL and to selected third  
party vendors only.  
Figure 83 shows a block diagram of the JTAG interface and the On-chip Debug system.  
The TAP Controller is a state machine controlled by the TCK and TMS signals. The TAP  
Controller selects either the JTAG Instruction Register or one of several Data Registers  
as the scan chain (Shift Register) between the TDI – input and TDO – output. The  
Instruction Register holds JTAG instructions controlling the behavior of a Data Register.  
The ID-Register, Bypass Register, and the Boundary-scan Chain are the Data Registers  
used for board-level testing. The JTAG Programming Interface (actually consisting of  
several physical and virtual Data Registers) is used for serial programming via the JTAG  
interface. The Internal Scan Chain and Break Point Scan Chain are used for On-chip  
debugging only.  
Test Access Port – TAP  
The JTAG interface is accessed through four of the AVR’s pins. In JTAG terminology,  
these pins constitute the Test Access Port – TAP. These pins are:  
TMS: Test mode select. This pin is used for navigating through the TAP-controller  
state machine.  
TCK: Test Clock. JTAG operation is synchronous to TCK.  
TDI: Test Data In. Serial input data to be shifted in to the Instruction Register or Data  
Register (Scan Chains).  
TDO: Test Data Out. Serial output data from Instruction Register or Data Register.  
196  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
The IEEE std. 1149.1 also specifies an optional TAP signal; TRST – Test ReSeT –  
which is not provided.  
When the JTAGEN fuse is unprogrammed, these four TAP pins are normal port pins  
and the TAP controller is in reset. When programmed and the JTD bit in MCUCSR is  
cleared, the TAP input signals are internally pulled high and the JTAG is enabled for  
Boundary-scan and programming. In this case, the TAP output pin (TDO) is left floating  
in states where the JTAG TAP controller is not shifting data, and must therefore be con-  
nected to a pull-up resistor or other hardware having pull-ups (for instance the TDI-input  
of the next device in the scan chain). The device is shipped with this fuse programmed.  
For the On-chip Debug system, in addition to the JTAG interface pins, the RESET pin is  
monitored by the debugger to be able to detect External Reset sources. The debugger  
can also pull the RESET pin low to reset the whole system, assuming only open collec-  
tors on the reset line are used in the application.

TAP Controller  
The TAP controller is a 16-state finite state machine that controls the operation of the  
Boundary-scan circuitry, JTAG programming circuitry, or On-chip Debug system. The  
state transitions depicted in Figure 84 depend on the signal present on TMS (shown  
adjacent to each state transition) at the time of the rising edge at TCK. The initial state  
after a Power-on Reset is Test-Logic-Reset.  
As a definition in this document, the LSB is shifted in and out first for all Shift Registers.  
Assuming Run-Test/Idle is the present state, a typical scenario for using the JTAG inter-  
face is:  
At the TMS input, apply the sequence 1, 1, 0, 0 at the rising edges of TCK to enter  
the Shift Instruction Register – Shift-IR state. While in this state, shift the four bits of  
the JTAG instructions into the JTAG Instruction Register from the TDI input at the  
rising edge of TCK. The TMS input must be held low during input of the 3 LSBs in  
order to remain in the Shift-IR state. The MSB of the instruction is shifted in when  
this state is left by setting TMS high. While the instruction is shifted in from the TDI  
pin, the captured IR-state 0x01 is shifted out on the TDO pin. The JTAG Instruction  
selects a particular Data Register as path between TDI and TDO and controls the  
circuitry surrounding the selected Data Register.  
Apply the TMS sequence 1, 1, 0 to re-enter the Run-Test/Idle state. The instruction  
is latched onto the parallel output from the Shift Register path in the Update-IR  
state. The Exit-IR, Pause-IR, and Exit2-IR states are only used for navigating the  
state machine.  
At the TMS input, apply the sequence 1, 0, 0 at the rising edges of TCK to enter the  
Shift Data Register – Shift-DR state. While in this state, upload the selected data  
register (selected by the present JTAG instruction in the JTAG Instruction Register)  
from the TDI input at the rising edge of TCK. In order to remain in the Shift-DR state,  
the TMS input must be held low during input of all bits except the MSB. The MSB of  
the data is shifted in when this state is left by setting TMS high. While the Data  
Register is shifted in from the TDI pin, the parallel inputs to the Data Register  
captured in the Capture-DR state is shifted out on the TDO pin.  
Apply the TMS sequence 1, 1, 0 to re-enter the Run-Test/Idle state. If the selected  
data register has a latched parallel-output, the latching takes place in the Update-  
DR state. The Exit-DR, Pause-DR, and Exit2-DR states are only used for navigating  
the state machine.  
As shown in the state diagram, the Run-Test/Idle state need not be entered between  
selecting JTAG instruction and using Data Registers, and some JTAG instructions may  
select certain functions to be performed in the Run-Test/Idle, making it unsuitable as an  
Idle state.  
Note:  
Independent of the initial state of the TAP Controller, the Test-Logic-Reset state can  
always be entered by holding TMS high for five TCK clock periods.  
For detailed information on the JTAG specification, refer to the literature listed in “Bibli-  
ography” on page 202.  
Using the Boundary-  
scan Chain  
A complete description of the Boundary-scan capabilities are given in the section “IEEE  
1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-scan” on page 203.  
199  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Using the On-chip Debug As shown in Figure 83, the hardware support for On-chip Debugging consists mainly of  
system  
A scan chain on the interface between the internal AVR CPU and the internal  
peripheral units  
Break Point unit  
Communication interface between the CPU and JTAG system  
All read or modify/write operations needed for implementing the Debugger are done by  
applying AVR instructions via the internal AVR CPU Scan Chain. The CPU sends the  
result to an I/O memory mapped location which is part of the communication interface  
between the CPU and the JTAG system.  
The Break Point unit implements Break on Change of program flow, Single Step Break,  
two Program memory Break Points, and two Combined Break Points. Together, the four  
Break Points can be configured as either:  
4 single Program Memory Break Points  
3 Single Program Memory Break Point + 1 single Data Memory Break Point  
2 single Program Memory Break Points + 2 single Data Memory Break Points  
2 single Program Memory Break Points + 1 Program Memory Break Point with mask  
(“range Break Point”)  
2 single Program Memory Break Points + 1 Data Memory Break Point with mask  
(“range Break Point”)  
A debugger, like the AVR Studio®, may however use one or more of these resources for  
its internal purpose, leaving less flexibility to the end-user.  
A list of the On-chip Debug specific JTAG instructions is given in “On-chip debug spe-  
cific JTAG instructions” on page 201.  
The JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed to enable the JTAG Test Access Port. In addi-  
tion, the OCDEN Fuse must be programmed and no Lock bits must be set for the On-  
chip debug system to work. As a security feature, the On-chip debug system is disabled  
when either of the LB1 or LB2 Lock bits are set. Otherwise, the On-chip debug system  
would have provided a backdoor into a secured device.  
The AVR Studio enables the user to fully control execution of programs on an AVR  
device with On-chip Debug capability, AVR In-Circuit Emulator, or the built-in AVR  
Instruction Set Simulator. AVR Studio supports source level execution of Assembly pro-  
grams assembled with Atmel Corporation’s AVR Assembler and C programs compiled  
with third party vendors’ compilers.  
AVR Studio runs under Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/2000, Windows NT®, and  
Windows XP®.  
For a full description of the AVR Studio, please refer to the AVR Studio User Guide.  
Only highlights are presented in this document.  
All necessary execution commands are available in AVR Studio, both on source level  
and on disassembly level. The user can execute the program, single step through the  
code either by tracing into or stepping over functions, step out of functions, place the  
cursor on a statement and execute until the statement is reached, stop the execution,  
and reset the execution target. In addition, the user can have an unlimited number of  
code Break Points (using the BREAK instruction) and up to two data memory Break  
Points, alternatively combined as a mask (range) Break Point.

The OCDR Register provides a communication channel from the running program in the  
microcontroller to the debugger. The CPU can transfer a byte to the debugger by writing  
to this location. At the same time, an internal flag; I/O Debug Register Dirty – IDRD – is  
set to indicate to the debugger that the register has been written. When the CPU reads  
the OCDR Register the 7 LSB will be from the OCDR Register, while the MSB is the  
IDRD bit. The debugger clears the IDRD bit when it has read the information.  
In some AVR devices, this register is shared with a standard I/O location. In this case,  
the OCDR Register can only be accessed if the OCDEN Fuse is programmed, and the  
debugger enables access to the OCDR Register. In all other cases, the standard I/O  
location is accessed.  
Refer to the debugger documentation for further information on how to use this register.  
Using the JTAG  
Programming  
Capabilities  
Programming of AVR parts via JTAG is performed via the 4-pin JTAG port, TCK, TMS,  
TDI and TDO. These are the only pins that need to be controlled/observed to perform  
JTAG programming (in addition to power pins). It is not required to apply 12V externally.  
The JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed and the JTD bit in the MCUSR Register must  
be cleared to enable the JTAG Test Access Port.  
The JTAG programming capability supports:  
Flash programming and verifying.  
EEPROM programming and verifying.  
Fuse programming and verifying.  
Lock bit programming and verifying.  
The Lock bit security is exactly as in parallel programming mode. If the Lock bits LB1 or  
LB2 are programmed, the OCDEN Fuse cannot be programmed unless first doing a  
chip erase. This is a security feature that ensures no backdoor exists for reading out the  
content of a secured device.  
The details on programming through the JTAG interface and programming specific  
JTAG instructions are given in the section “Programming via the JTAG Interface” on  
page 249.

System Overview  
The Boundary-scan chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on  
the digital I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog  
circuitry having Off-chip connections. At system level, all ICs having JTAG capabilities  
are connected serially by the TDI/TDO signals to form a long Shift Register. An external  
controller sets up the devices to drive values at their output pins, and observe the input  
values received from other devices. The controller compares the received data with the  
expected result. In this way, Boundary-scan provides a mechanism for testing intercon-  
nections and integrity of components on Printed Circuits Boards by using the four TAP  
signals only.  
The four IEEE 1149.1 defined mandatory JTAG instructions IDCODE, BYPASS, SAM-  
PLE/PRELOAD, and EXTEST, as well as the AVR specific public JTAG instruction  
AVR_RESET can be used for testing the Printed Circuit Board. Initial scanning of the  
Data Register path will show the ID-code of the device, since IDCODE is the default  
JTAG instruction. It may be desirable to have the AVR device in Reset during Test  
mode. If not Reset, inputs to the device may be determined by the scan operations, and  
the internal software may be in an undetermined state when exiting the test mode.  
Entering Reset, the outputs of any Port Pin will instantly enter the high impedance state,  
making the HIGHZ instruction redundant. If needed, the BYPASS instruction can be  
issued to make the shortest possible scan chain through the device. The device can be  
set in the Reset state either by pulling the external RESET pin low, or issuing the  
AVR_RESET instruction with appropriate setting of the Reset Data Register.  
The EXTEST instruction is used for sampling external pins and loading output pins with  
data. The data from the output latch will be driven out on the pins as soon as the  
EXTEST instruction is loaded into the JTAG IR-Register. Therefore, the SAMPLE/PRE-  
LOAD should also be used for setting initial values to the scan ring, to avoid damaging  
the board when issuing the EXTEST instruction for the first time. SAMPLE/PRELOAD  
can also be used for taking a snapshot of the external pins during normal operation of  
the part.  
The JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed and the JTD bit in the I/O Register MCUCSR  
must be cleared to enable the JTAG Test Access Port.  
When using the JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, using a JTAG TCK clock frequency  
higher than the internal chip frequency is possible. The chip clock is not required to run.

Device Identification Register  
Reset Register  
Boundary-scan Chain  
Bypass Register  
The Bypass Register consists of a single Shift Register stage. When the Bypass Regis-  
ter is selected as path between TDI and TDO, the register is reset to 0 when leaving the  
Capture-DR controller state. The Bypass Register can be used to shorten the scan  
chain on a system when the other devices are to be tested.

Reset Register  
The Reset Register is a test data register used to reset the part. Since the AVR tri-states  
Port Pins when reset, the Reset Register can also replace the function of the unimple-  
mented optional JTAG instruction HIGHZ.  
A high value in the Reset Register corresponds to pulling the external Reset low. The  
part is reset as long as there is a high value present in the Reset Register. Depending  
204

on the Fuse settings for the clock options, the part will remain reset for a Reset Time-out  
Period (refer to “Clock Sources” on page 34) after releasing the Reset Register. The  
output from this data register is not latched, so the reset will take place immediately, as  
shown in Figure 86.

Boundary-scan Chain  
The Boundary-scan Chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on  
the digital I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog  
circuitry having Off-chip connections.  
See “Boundary-scan Chain” on page 207 for a complete description.  
Boundary-scan Specific The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. Listed below are  
the JTAG instructions useful for Boundary-scan operation. Note that the optional HIGHZ  
JTAG Instructions  
instruction is not implemented, but all outputs with tri-state capability can be set in high-  
impedant state by using the AVR_RESET instruction, since the initial state for all port  
pins is tri-state.  
As a definition in this datasheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first for all Shift Registers.  
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format.  
The text describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for  
each instruction.  
EXTEST; 0x0  
Mandatory JTAG instruction for selecting the Boundary-scan Chain as Data Register for  
testing circuitry external to the AVR package. For port-pins, Pull-up Disable, Output  
Control, Output Data, and Input Data are all accessible in the scan chain. For analog cir-  
cuits having Off-chip connections, the interface between the analog and the digital logic  
is in the scan chain. The contents of the latched outputs of the Boundary-scan chain is  
driven out as soon as the JTAG IR-Register is loaded with the EXTEST instruction.  
The active states are:  
Capture-DR: Data on the external pins are sampled into the Boundary-scan Chain.  
Shift-DR: The Internal Scan Chain is shifted by the TCK input.  
Update-DR: Data from the scan chain is applied to output pins.  
205  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
IDCODE; 0x1  
Optional JTAG instruction selecting the 32-bit ID-register as data register. The ID-Regis-  
ter consists of a version number, a device number and the manufacturer code chosen  
by JEDEC. This is the default instruction after Power-up.  
The active states are:  
Capture-DR: Data in the IDCODE Register is sampled into the Boundary-scan  
Chain.  
Shift-DR: The IDCODE scan chain is shifted by the TCK input.  
SAMPLE_PRELOAD; 0x2  
Mandatory JTAG instruction for preloading the output latches and taking a snapshot of  
the input/output pins without affecting the system operation. However, the output latches  
are not connected to the pins. The Boundary-scan Chain is selected as Data Register.  
The active states are:  
Capture-DR: Data on the external pins are sampled into the Boundary-scan Chain.  
Shift-DR: The Boundary-scan Chain is shifted by the TCK input.  
Update-DR: Data from the Boundary-scan chain is applied to the output latches.  
However, the output latches are not connected to the pins.  
AVR_RESET; 0xC  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for forcing the AVR device into the Reset  
mode or releasing the JTAG Reset source. The TAP controller is not reset by this  
instruction. The one bit Reset Register is selected as data register. Note that the reset  
will be active as long as there is a logic 'one' in the Reset Chain. The output from this  
chain is not latched.  
The active states are:  
Shift-DR: The Reset Register is shifted by the TCK input.  
BYPASS; 0xF  
Mandatory JTAG instruction selecting the Bypass Register for data register.  
The active states are:  
Capture-DR: Loads a logic “0” into the Bypass Register.  
Shift-DR: The Bypass Register cell between TDI and TDO is shifted.

• Bit 7 – JTD: JTAG Interface Disable  
When this bit is zero, the JTAG interface is enabled if the JTAGEN Fuse is programmed.  
If this bit is one, the JTAG interface is disabled. In order to avoid unintentional disabling  
or enabling of the JTAG interface, a timed sequence must be followed when changing  
this bit: The application software must write this bit to the desired value twice within four  
cycles to change its value.

If the JTAG interface is left unconnected to other JTAG circuitry, the JTD bit should be  
set to one. The reason for this is to avoid static current at the TDO pin in the JTAG  
interface.  
• Bit 4 – JTRF: JTAG Reset Flag  
This bit is set if a reset is being caused by a logic one in the JTAG Reset Register  
selected by the JTAG instruction AVR_RESET. This bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or  
by writing a logic zero to the flag.  
Boundary-scan Chain  
The Boundary-scan Chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on  
the digital I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog  
circuitry having Off-chip connection.  
Scanning the Digital Port Pins Figure 87 shows the Boundary-scan Cell for a bi-directional port pin with pull-up func-  
tion. The cell consists of a standard Boundary-scan cell for the Pull-up Enable – PUExn  
– function, and a bi-directional pin cell that combines the three signals Output Control –  
OCxn, Output Data – ODxn, and Input Data – IDxn, into only a two-stage Shift Register.  
The port and pin indexes are not used in the following description  
The Boundary-scan logic is not included in the figures in the datasheet. Figure 88 shows  
a simple digital Port Pin as described in the section “I/O-Ports” on page 62. The Bound-  
ary-scan details from Figure 87 replaces the dashed box in Figure 88.  
When no alternate port function is present, the Input Data – ID – corresponds to the  
PINxn Register value (but ID has no synchronizer), Output Data corresponds to the  
PORT Register, Output Control corresponds to the Data Direction – DD Register, and  
the Pull-up Enable – PUExn – corresponds to logic expression PUD · DDxn · PORTxn.  
Digital alternate port functions are connected outside the dotted box in Figure 88 to  
make the scan chain read the actual pin value. For Analog function, there is a direct  
connection from the external pin to the analog circuit, and a scan chain is inserted on  
the interface between the digital logic and the analog circuitry.

Scanning the Clock Pins  
The AVR devices have many clock options selectable by fuses. These are: Internal RC  
Oscillator, External Clock, (High Frequency) Crystal Oscillator, Low Frequency Crystal  
Oscillator, and Ceramic Resonator.  
Figure 90 shows how each Oscillator with external connection is supported in the scan  
chain. The Enable signal is supported with a general Boundary-scan cell, while the  
Oscillator/clock output is attached to an observe-only cell. In addition to the main clock,  
the Timer Oscillator is scanned in the same way. The output from the internal RC Oscil-  
lator is not scanned, as this Oscillator does not have external connections.

Notes: 1. Do not enable more than one clock source as main clock at a time.  
2. Scanning an Oscillator output gives unpredictable results as there is a frequency drift  
between the Internal Oscillator and the JTAG TCK clock. If possible, scanning an  
external clock is preferred.  
3. The clock configuration is programmed by fuses. As a fuse is not changed run-time,  
the clock configuration is considered fixed for a given application. The user is advised  
to scan the same clock option as to be used in the final system. The enable signals  
are supported in the scan chain because the system logic can disable clock options  
in sleep modes, thereby disconnecting the Oscillator pins from the scan path if not  
provided. The INTCAP selection is not supported in the scan-chain, so the boundary  
scan chain can not make a XTAL Oscillator requiring internal capacitors to run unless  
the fuses are correctly programmed.

ATmega162 Boundary-  
scan Order  
Table 88 shows the Scan order between TDI and TDO when the Boundary-scan chain  
is selected as data path. Bit 0 is the LSB; the first bit scanned in, and the first bit  
scanned out. The scan order follows the pinout order as far as possible. Therefore, the  
bits of Port A and Port E is scanned in the opposite bit order of the other ports. Excep-  
tions from the rules are the Scan chains for the analog circuits, which constitute the  
most significant bits of the scan chain regardless of which physical pin they are con-  
nected to. In Figure 87, PXn. Data corresponds to FF0, PXn. Control corresponds to  
FF1, and PXn. Pullup_enable corresponds to FF2. Bit 4, 5, 6, and 7of Port C is not in the  
scan chain, since these pins constitute the TAP pins when the JTAG is enabled.

Boot Loader Support The Boot Loader Support provides a real Read-While-Write Self-programming mecha-  
nism for downloading and uploading program code by the MCU itself. This feature  
allows flexible application software updates controlled by the MCU using a Flash-resi-  
dent Boot Loader program. The Boot Loader program can use any available data  
– Read-While-Write  
Self-programming  
interface and associated protocol to read code and write (program) that code into the  
Flash memory, or read the code from the program memory. The program code within  
the Boot Loader section has the capability to write into the entire Flash, including the  
Boot Loader memory. The Boot Loader can thus even modify itself, and it can also  
erase itself from the code if the feature is not needed anymore. The size of the Boot  
Loader memory is configurable with Fuses and the Boot Loader has two separate sets  
of Boot Lock bits which can be set independently. This gives the user a unique flexibility  
to select different levels of protection.

Note:  
1. A page is a section in the Flash consisting of several bytes (see Table 106 on page  
235) used during programming. The page organization does not affect normal  
operation.  
Application and Boot  
Loader Flash Sections  
The Flash memory is organized in two main sections, the Application section and the  
Boot Loader section (see Figure 94). The size of the different sections is configured by  
the BOOTSZ Fuses as shown in Table 94 on page 228 and Figure 94. These two sec-  
tions can have different level of protection since they have different sets of Lock bits.  
Application Section  
The Application section is the section of the Flash that is used for storing the application  
code. The protection level for the application section can be selected by the Application  
Boot Lock bits (Boot Lock bits 0), see Table 90 on page 219. The Application section  
can never store any Boot Loader code since the SPM instruction is disabled when exe-  
cuted from the Application section.  
BLS – Boot Loader Section  
While the Application section is used for storing the application code, the The Boot  
Loader software must be located in the BLS since the SPM instruction can initiate a pro-  
gramming when executing from the BLS only. The SPM instruction can access the  
entire Flash, including the BLS itself. The protection level for the Boot Loader section  
can be selected by the Boot Loader Lock bits (Boot Lock bits 1), see Table 91 on page  
219.  
Read-While-Write and No Whether the CPU supports Read-While-Write or if the CPU is halted during a Boot  
Loader software update is dependent on which address that is being programmed. In  
addition to the two sections that are configurable by the BOOTSZ Fuses as described  
above, the Flash is also divided into two fixed sections, the Read-While-Write (RWW)  
section and the No Read-While-Write (NRWW) section. The limit between the RWW-  
and NRWW sections is given in Table 95 on page 228 and Figure 94 on page 218. The  
main difference between the two sections is:  
Read-While-Write Flash  
Sections  
When erasing or writing a page located inside the RWW section, the NRWW section  
can be read during the operation.  
When erasing or writing a page located inside the NRWW section, the CPU is halted  
during the entire operation.  
216  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Note that the user software can never read any code that is located inside the RWW  
section during a Boot Loader software operation. The syntax “Read-While-Write sec-  
tion” refers to which section that is being programmed (erased or written), not which  
section that actually is being read during a Boot Loader software update.  
RWW – Read-While-Write  
Section  
If a Boot Loader software update is programming a page inside the RWW section, it is  
possible to read code from the Flash, but only code that is located in the NRWW sec-  
tion. During an ongoing programming, the software must ensure that the RWW section  
never is being read. If the user software is trying to read code that is located inside the  
RWW section (i.e., by a call/jmp/lpm or an interrupt) during programming, the software  
might end up in an unknown state. To avoid this, the interrupts should either be disabled  
or moved to the Boot Loader section. The Boot Loader section is always located in the  
NRWW section. The RWW Section Busy bit (RWWSB) in the Store Program Memory  
Control Register (SPMCR) will be read as logical one as long as the RWW section is  
blocked for reading. After a programming is completed, the RWWSB must be cleared by  
software before reading code located in the RWW section. See “Store Program Memory  
Control Register – SPMCR” on page 220. for details on how to clear RWWSB.  
NRWW – No Read-While-Write The code located in the NRWW section can be read when the Boot Loader software is  
Section  
updating a page in the RWW section. When the Boot Loader code updates the NRWW  
section, the CPU is halted during the entire Page Erase or Page Write operation.

Boot Loader Lock Bits  
If no Boot Loader capability is needed, the entire Flash is available for application code.  
The Boot Loader has two separate sets of Boot Lock bits which can be set indepen-  
dently. This gives the user a unique flexibility to select different levels of protection.  
The user can select:  
To protect the entire Flash from a software update by the MCU  
To protect only the Boot Loader Flash section from a software update by the MCU  
To protect only the Application Flash section from a software update by the MCU  
Allow software update in the entire Flash  
See Table 90 and Table 91 for further details. The Boot Lock bits can be set in software  
and in Serial or Parallel Programming mode, but they can be cleared by a chip erase  
command only. The general Write Lock (Lock bit mode 2) does not control the program-

ming of the Flash memory by SPM instruction. Similarly, the general Read/Write Lock  
(Lock bit mode 1) does not control reading nor writing by LPM/SPM, if it is attempted.

Entering the Boot Loader Entering the Boot Loader takes place by a jump or call from the application program.  
This may be initiated by a trigger such as a command received via USART, or SPI inter-  
Program  
face. Alternatively, the Boot Reset Fuse can be programmed so that the Reset Vector is  
pointing to the Boot Flash start address after a reset. In this case, the Boot Loader is  
started after a reset. After the application code is loaded, the program can start execut-  
ing the application code. Note that the fuses cannot be changed by the MCU itself. This  
means that once the Boot Reset Fuse is programmed, the Reset Vector will always  
point to the Boot Loader Reset and the fuse can only be changed through the Serial or  
Parallel Programming interface.

• Bit 7 – SPMIE: SPM Interrupt Enable  
When the SPMIE bit is written to one, and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the  
SPM ready interrupt will be enabled. The SPM ready Interrupt will be executed as long  
as the SPMEN bit in the SPMCR Register is cleared.  
• Bit 6 – RWWSB: Read-While-Write Section Busy  
When a Self-programming (Page Erase or Page Write) operation to the RWW section is  
initiated, the RWWSB will be set (one) by hardware. When the RWWSB bit is set, the  
RWW section cannot be accessed. The RWWSB bit will be cleared if the RWWSRE bit  
is written to one after a Self-programming operation is completed. Alternatively the  
RWWSB bit will automatically be cleared if a page load operation is initiated.  
• Bit 5 – Res: Reserved Bit  
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATmega162 and always read as zero.  
• Bit 4 – RWWSRE: Read-While-Write Section Read Enable  
When programming (Page Erase or Page Write) to the RWW section, the RWW section  
is blocked for reading (the RWWSB will be set by hardware). To re-enable the RWW  
section, the user software must wait until the programming is completed (SPMEN will be  
cleared). Then, if the RWWSRE bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the  
next SPM instruction within four clock cycles re-enables the RWW section. The RWW  
section cannot be re-enabled while the Flash is busy with a Page Erase or a Page Write  
(SPMEN is set). If the RWWSRE bit is written while the Flash is being loaded, the Flash  
load operation will abort and the data loaded will be lost.

• Bit 3 – BLBSET: Boot Lock Bit Set  
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within  
four clock cycles sets Boot Lock bits, according to the data in R0. The data in R1 and  
the address in the Z-pointer are ignored. The BLBSET bit will automatically be cleared  
upon completion of the Lock bit set, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock  
cycles.  
An LPM instruction within three cycles after BLBSET and SPMEN are set in the SPMCR  
Register, will read either the Lock bits or the Fuse bits (depending on Z0 in the Z-  
pointer) into the destination register. See “Reading the Fuse and Lock Bits from Soft-  
ware” on page 224 for details.  
• Bit 2 – PGWRT: Page Write  
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within  
four clock cycles executes Page Write, with the data stored in the temporary buffer. The  
page address is taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The data in R1 and R0 are  
ignored. The PGWRT bit will auto–clear upon completion of a Page Write, or if no SPM  
instruction is executed within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire  
Page Write operation if the NRWW section is addressed.  
• Bit 1 – PGERS: Page Erase  
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within  
four clock cycles executes Page Erase. The page address is taken from the high part of  
the Z-pointer. The data in R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGERS bit will auto-clear upon  
completion of a Page Erase, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock  
cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire Page Write operation if the NRWW section is  
addressed.  
• Bit 0 – SPMEN: Store Program Memory Enable  
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one  
together with either RWWSRE, BLBSET, PGWRT’ or PGERS, the following SPM  
instruction will have a special meaning, see description above. If only SPMEN is written,  
the following SPM instruction will store the value in R1:R0 in the temporary page buffer  
addressed by the Z-pointer. The LSB of the Z-pointer is ignored. The SPMEN bit will  
auto-clear upon completion of an SPM instruction, or if no SPM instruction is executed  
within four clock cycles. During Page Erase and Page Write, the SPMEN bit remains  
high until the operation is completed.  
Writing any other combination than “10001”, “01001”, “00101”, “00011” or “00001” in the  
lower five bits will have no effect.

Since the Flash is organized in pages (see Table 106 on page 235), the Program  
Counter can be treated as having two different sections. One section, consisting of the  
least significant bits, is addressing the words within a page, while the most significant  
bits are addressing the pages. This is shown in Figure 95. Note that the Page Erase and  
Page Write operations are addressed independently. Therefore it is of major importance  
that the Boot Loader software addresses the same page in both the Page Erase and  
Page Write operation. Once a programming operation is initiated, the address is latched  
and the Z-pointer can be used for other operations.  
The only SPM operation that does not use the Z-pointer is Setting the Boot Loader Lock  
bits. The content of the Z-pointer is ignored and will have no effect on the operation. The  
LPM instruction does also use the Z-pointer to store the address. Since this instruction  
addresses the Flash byte-by-byte, also the LSB (bit Z0) of the Z-pointer is used.

Self-programming the  
Flash  
The program memory is updated in a page by page fashion. Before programming a  
page with the data stored in the temporary page buffer, the page must be erased. The  
temporary page buffer is filled one word at a time using SPM and the buffer can be filled  
either before the Page Erase command or between a Page Erase and a Page Write  
operation:  
Alternative 1, fill the buffer before a Page Erase  
Fill temporary page buffer  
Perform a Page Erase  
Perform a Page Write  
Alternative 2, fill the buffer after Page Erase  
Perform a Page Erase  
Fill temporary page buffer  
Perform a Page Write  
If only a part of the page needs to be changed, the rest of the page must be stored (for  
example in the temporary page buffer) before the erase, and then be rewritten. When  
using alternative 1, the Boot Loader provides an effective Read-Modify-Write feature  
which allows the user software to first read the page, do the necessary changes, and  
then write back the modified data. If alternative 2 is used, it is not possible to read the  
old data while loading since the page is already erased. The temporary page buffer can  
be accessed in a random sequence. It is essential that the page address used in both  
the Page Erase and Page Write operation is addressing the same page. See “Simple  
Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader” on page 226 for an assembly code  
example.  
Performing Page Erase by  
SPM  
To execute Page Erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000011” to  
SPMCR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The data in R1  
and R0 is ignored. The page address must be written to PCPAGE in the Z-register.  
Other bits in the Z-pointer will be ignored during this operation.  
Page Erase to the RWW section: The NRWW section can be read during the Page  
Erase.  
Page Erase to the NRWW section: The CPU is halted during the operation.  
Filling the Temporary Buffer  
(Page Loading)  
To write an instruction word, set up the address in the Z-pointer and data in R1:R0, write  
“00000001” to SPMCR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR.  
The content of PCWORD in the Z-register is used to address the data in the temporary  
buffer. The temporary buffer will auto-erase after a Page Write operation or by writing  
the RWWSRE bit in SPMCR. It is also erased after a System Reset. Note that it is not  
possible to write more than one time to each address without erasing the temporary  
buffer.  
Note:  
If the EEPROM is written in the middle of an SPM Page Load operation, all data loaded  
will be lost.  
Performing a Page Write  
To execute Page Write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000101” to  
SPMCR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The data in R1  
and R0 is ignored. The page address must be written to PCPAGE. Other bits in the Z-  
pointer must be written zero during this operation.  
Page Write to the RWW section: The NRWW section can be read during the Page  
Write.  
Page Write to the NRWW section: The CPU is halted during the operation.  
223  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Using the SPM Interrupt  
If the SPM interrupt is enabled, the SPM interrupt will generate a constant interrupt  
when the SPMEN bit in SPMCR is cleared. This means that the interrupt can be used  
instead of polling the SPMCR Register in software. When using the SPM interrupt, the  
Interrupt Vectors should be moved to the BLS section to avoid that an interrupt is  
accessing the RWW section when it is blocked for reading. How to move the interrupts  
is described in “Interrupts” on page 56.  
Consideration while Updating Special care must be taken if the user allows the Boot Loader section to be updated by  
BLS  
leaving Boot Lock bit11 unprogrammed. An accidental write to the Boot Loader itself can  
corrupt the entire Boot Loader, and further software updates might be impossible. If it is  
not necessary to change the Boot Loader software itself, it is recommended to program  
the Boot Lock bit11 to protect the Boot Loader software from any internal software  
changes.  
Prevent Reading the RWW  
Section During Self-  
programming  
During Self-programming (either Page Erase or Page Write), the RWW section is  
always blocked for reading. The user software itself must prevent that this section is  
addressed during the self programming operation. The RWWSB in the SPMCR will be  
set as long as the RWW section is busy. During Self-programming the Interrupt Vector  
table should be moved to the BLS as described in “Interrupts” on page 56, or the inter-  
rupts must be disabled. Before addressing the RWW section after the programming is  
completed, the user software must clear the RWWSB by writing the RWWSRE. See  
“Simple Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader” on page 226 for an example.  
Setting the Boot Loader Lock To set the Boot Loader Lock bits, write the desired data to R0, write “X0001001” to  
Bits by SPM  
SPMCR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The only  
accessible Lock bits are the Boot Lock bits that may prevent the Application and Boot  
Loader section from any software update by the MCU.

See Table 90 and Table 91 for how the different settings of the Boot Loader bits affect  
the Flash access.  
If bits 5..2 in R0 are cleared (zero), the corresponding Boot Lock bit will be programmed  
if an SPM instruction is executed within four cycles after BLBSET and SPMEN are set in  
SPMCR. The Z-pointer is don’t care during this operation, but for future compatibility it is  
recommended to load the Z-pointer with 0x0001 (same as used for reading the Lock  
bits). For future compatibility it is also recommended to set bits 7, 6, 1, and 0 in R0 to “1”  
when writing the Lock bits. When programming the Lock bits the entire Flash can be  
read during the operation.  
EEPROM Write Prevents  
Writing to SPMCR  
Note that an EEPROM write operation will block all software programming to Flash.  
Reading the Fuses and Lock bits from software will also be prevented during the  
EEPROM write operation. It is recommended that the user checks the status bit (EEWE)  
in the EECR Register and verifies that the bit is cleared before writing to the SPMCR  
Register.  
Reading the Fuse and Lock  
Bits from Software  
It is possible to read both the Fuse and Lock bits from software. To read the Lock bits,  
load the Z-pointer with 0x0001 and set the BLBSET and SPMEN bits in SPMCR. When  
an LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN  
bits are set in SPMCR, the value of the Lock bits will be loaded in the destination regis-  
ter. The BLBSET and SPMEN bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Lock  
bits or if no LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles or no SPM instruction is

The algorithm for reading the Fuse Low byte is similar to the one described above for  
reading the Lock bits. To read the Fuse Low byte, load the Z-pointer with 0x0000 and  
set the BLBSET and SPMEN bits in SPMCR. When an LPM instruction is executed  
within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCR, the value  
of the Fuse Low byte (FLB) will be loaded in the destination register as shown below.

Similarly, when reading the Fuse High byte, load 0x0003 in the Z-pointer. When an LPM  
instruction is executed within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in  
the SPMCR, the value of the Fuse High byte (FHB) will be loaded in the destination reg-  
ister as shown below. Refer to Table 99 on page 231 for detailed description and

the SPMCR, the value of the Extended Fuse byte (EFB) will be loaded in the destination  
register as shown below. Refer to Table 99 on page 231 for detailed description and

Fuse and Lock bits that are programmed, will be read as zero. Fuse and Lock bits that  
are unprogrammed, will be read as one.  
Preventing Flash Corruption  
During periods of low VCC, the Flash program can be corrupted because the supply volt-  
age is too low for the CPU and the Flash to operate properly. These issues are the same  
as for board level systems using the Flash, and the same design solutions should be  
applied.  
A Flash program corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low.  
First, a regular write sequence to the Flash requires a minimum voltage to operate cor-  
rectly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the supply voltage  
for executing instructions is too low.  
Flash corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommendations (one  
is sufficient):  
1. If there is no need for a Boot Loader update in the system, program the Boot  
Loader Lock bits to prevent any Boot Loader software updates.  
2. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply  
voltage. This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD) if  
the operating voltage matches the detection level. If not, an external low VCC  
Reset Protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is  
in progress, the write operation will be completed provided that the power supply  
voltage is sufficient.  
225  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
3. Keep the AVR core in Power-down sleep mode during periods of low VCC. This  
will prevent the CPU from attempting to decode and execute instructions, effec-  
tively protecting the SPMCR Register and thus the Flash from unintentional  
writes.

3. Never ship a product with the OCDEN Fuse programmed regardless of the setting of  
Lock bits and the JTAGEN Fuse. A programmed OCDEN Fuse enables some parts of  
the clock system to be running in all sleep modes. This may increase the power  
consumption.  
4. If the JTAG interface is left unconnected, the JTAGEN fuse should if possible be dis-  
abled. This to avoid static current at the TDO pin in the JTAG interface.

Latching of Fuses  
The Fuse values are latched when the device enters Programming mode and changes  
of the Fuse values will have no effect until the part leaves Programming mode. This  
does not apply to the EESAVE Fuse which will take effect once it is programmed. The  
Fuses are also latched on Power-up in Normal mode.  
Signature Bytes  
All Atmel microcontrollers have a 3-byte signature code which identifies the device. This  
code can be read in both Serial and Parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The  
three bytes reside in a separate address space.  
For the ATmega162 the signature bytes are:  
1. 0x000: 0x1E (indicates manufactured by Atmel).  
2. 0x001: 0x94 (indicates 16KB Flash memory).  
3. 0x002: 0x04 (indicates ATmega162 device when 0x001 is 0x94).  
Calibration Byte  
The ATmega162 has a one-byte calibration value for the internal RC Oscillator. This  
byte resides in the high byte of address 0x000 in the signature address space. During  
Reset, this byte is automatically written into the OSCCAL Register to ensure correct fre-  
quency of the calibrated RC Oscillator.  
Parallel Programming  
Parameters, Pin  
Mapping, and  
This section describes how to parallel program and verify Flash Program memory,  
EEPROM Data memory, Memory Lock bits, and Fuse bits in the ATmega162. Pulses  
are assumed to be at least 250 ns unless otherwise noted.  
Commands  
Signal Names  
In this section, some pins of the ATmega162 are referenced by signal names describing  
their functionality during parallel programming, see Figure 96 and Table 102. Pins not  
described in the following table are referenced by pin names.  
The XA1/XA0 pins determine the action executed when the XTAL1 pin is given a posi-  
tive pulse. The bit coding is shown in Table 104.  
When pulsing WR or OE, the command loaded determines the action executed. The dif-  
ferent Commands are shown in Table 105.

Parallel Programming  
Enter Programming Mode  
The following algorithm puts the device in Parallel Programming mode:  
1. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between VCC and GND, and wait at least 100 µs.  
2. Set RESET to “0” and toggle XTAL1 at least six times.  
3. Set the Prog_enable pins listed in Table 103 on page 234 to “0000” and wait at  
least 100 ns.  
4. Apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET. Any activity on Prog_enable pins within 100 ns  
after +12V has been applied to RESET, will cause the device to fail entering Pro-  
gramming mode.  
Considerations for Efficient  
Programming  
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For  
efficient programming, the following should be considered.  
The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory  
locations.  
Skip writing the data value 0xFF, that is the contents of the entire EEPROM (unless  
the EESAVE Fuse is programmed) and Flash after a Chip Erase.  
Address high byte needs only be loaded before programming or reading a new 256-  
word window in Flash or 256 byte EEPROM. This consideration also applies to  
Signature bytes reading.  
235  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
Chip Erase  
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM(1) memories plus Lock bits. The Lock  
bits are not reset until the program memory has been completely erased. The Fuse bits  
are not changed. A Chip Erase must be performed before the Flash or EEPROM are  
reprogrammed.  
Note:  
1. The EEPRPOM memory is preserved during chip erase if the EESAVE Fuse is  
programmed.  
Load Command “Chip Erase”  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “0”.  
3. Set DATA to “1000 0000”. This is the command for Chip Erase.  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.  
5. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts the Chip Erase. RDY/BSY goes low.  
6. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high before loading a new command.  
Programming the Flash  
The Flash is organized in pages, see Table 106 on page 235. 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 pro-  
gram 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 (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.  
C. Load Data Low Byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.  
2. Set DATA = Data low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
D. Load Data High Byte  
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.  
2. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.  
3. Set DATA = Data high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.  
E. Latch Data  
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.  
2. Give PAGEL a positive pulse. This latches the data bytes (See Figure 98 for sig-  
nal waveforms).  
F. Repeat B through E until the entire buffer is filled or until all data within the page is  
loaded.  
236  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
While the lower bits in the address are mapped to words within the page, the higher bits  
address the pages within the FLASH. This is illustrated in Figure 97 on page 237. Note  
that if less than eight bits are required to address words in the page (pagesize < 256),  
the most significant bit(s) in the address low byte are used to address the page when  
performing a Page Write.  
G. Load Address High byte  
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.  
2. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high address.  
3. Set DATA = Address high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).  
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address high byte.  
H. Program Page  
1. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the entire page of data.  
RDY/BSY goes low.  
2. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high. (See Figure 98 for signal waveforms)  
I. Repeat B through H until the entire Flash is programmed or until all data has been  
programmed.  
J. End Page Programming  
1. 1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.  
2. Set DATA to “0000 0000”. This is the command for No Operation.  
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command, and the internal write sig-  
nals are reset.

Reading the Signature Bytes  
The algorithm for reading the signature bytes is as follows (refer to “Programming the  
Flash” on page 236 for details on Command and Address loading):  
1. A: Load Command “0000 1000”.  
2. B: Load Address Low Byte (0x00 - 0x02).  
3. Set OE to “0”, and BS to “0”. The selected Signature byte can now be read at  
DATA.  
4. Set OE to “1”.

Both the Flash and EEPROM memory arrays can be programmed using the serial SPI  
bus while RESET is pulled to GND. The serial interface consists of pins SCK, MOSI  
(input) and MISO (output). After RESET is set low, the Programming Enable instruction  
needs to be executed first before program/erase operations can be executed. NOTE, in  
Table 109 on page 244, the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use  
the SPI pins dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

Note:  
1. If the device is clocked by the Internal Oscillator, it is no need to connect a clock  
source to the XTAL1 pin.  
When programming the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed pro-  
gramming operation (in the Serial mode ONLY) and there is no need to first execute the  
Chip Erase instruction. The Chip Erase operation turns the content of every memory  
location in both the Program and EEPROM arrays into 0xFF.  
244  
ATmega162/V  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
ATmega162/V  
Depending on CKSEL Fuses, a valid clock must be present. The minimum low and high  
periods for the serial clock (SCK) input are defined as follows:  
Low:> 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck >= 12 MHz  
High:> 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck >= 12 MHz  
SPI Serial Programming  
Algorithm  
When writing serial data to the ATmega162, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.  
When reading data from the ATmega162, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK.  
See Figure 106.  
To program and verify the ATmega162 in the SPI Serial Programming mode, the follow-  
ing sequence is recommended (See four byte instruction formats in Table 111):  
1. Power-up sequence:  
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In  
some systems, the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during  
Power-up. In this case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two  
CPU clock cycles duration after SCK has been set to “0”.  
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable SPI Serial Programming by sending the Pro-  
gramming Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.  
3. The SPI Serial Programming instructions will not work if the communication is  
out of synchronization. When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back  
when issuing the third byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the  
echo is correct or not, all four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the  
0x53 did not echo back, give RESET a positive pulse and issue a new Program-  
ming Enable command.  
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The page size is found in Table  
106 on page 235. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying  
the 6 LSB of the address and data together with the Load Program Memory  
Page instruction. To ensure correct loading of the page, the data low byte must  
be loaded before data high byte is applied for a given address. The Program  
Memory Page is stored by loading the Write Program Memory Page instruction  
with the 8 MSB of the address. If polling is not used, the user must wait at least  
tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 110.) Accessing the SPI  
serial programming interface before the Flash write operation completes can  
result in incorrect programming.  
5. The EEPROM array can either be programmed one page at a time or it can be  
programmed byte by byte.  
For Page Programming, the following algorithm is used:  
The EEPROM memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 2 LSB of  
the address and data together with the Load EEPROM Memory Page instruction.  
The EEPROM Memory Page is stored by loading the Write EEPROM Memory Page  
instruction with the 8 MSB of the address. If polling is not used, the user must wait at  
least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next page. (See Table 100.) Accessing the SPI  
Serial Programming interface before the EEPROM write operation completes can  
result in incorrect programming.  
Alternatively, the EEPROM can be programmed bytewise:  
The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address  
and data together with the Write EEPROM instruction. An EEPROM memory loca-  
tion is first automatically erased before new data is written. If polling is not used, the  
user must wait at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (See Table 110.) In  
a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.  
245  
2513F–AVR–12/03  
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns  
the content at the selected address at serial output MISO.  
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence  
normal operation.  
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):  
Set RESET to “1”.  
Turn VCC power off.  
Data Polling Flash  
When a page is being programmed into the Flash, reading an address location within  
the page being programmed will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is ready for  
a new page, the programmed value will read correctly. This is used to determine when  
the next page can be written. Note that the entire page is written simultaneously and any  
address within the page can be used for polling. Data polling of the Flash will not work  
for the value 0xFF, so when programming this value, the user will have to wait for at  
least tWD_FLASH before programming the next page. As a chip erased device contains  
0xFF in all locations, programming of addresses that are meant to contain 0xFF, can be  
skipped. See Table 110 for tWD_FLASH value.  
Data Polling EEPROM  
When a new byte has been written and is being programmed into EEPROM, reading the  
address location being programmed will give the value 0xFF. At the time the device is  
ready for a new byte, the programmed value will read correctly. This is used to deter-  
mine when the next byte can be written. This will not work for the value 0xFF, but the  
user should have the following in mind: As a chip erased device contains 0xFF in all  
locations, programming of addresses that are meant to contain 0xFF, can be skipped.  
This does not apply if the EEPROM is re-programmed without chip erasing the device.  
In this case, data polling cannot be used for the value 0xFF, and the user will have to  
wait at least tWD_EEPROM before programming the next byte. See Table 110 for  
tWD_EEPROM value.

Programming via the  
JTAG Interface  
Programming through the JTAG interface requires control of the four JTAG specific  
pins: TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. Control of the Reset and clock pins is not required.  
To be able to use the JTAG interface, the JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed. The  
device is default shipped with the Fuse programmed. In addition, the JTD bit in  
MCUCSR must be cleared. Alternatively, if the JTD bit is set, the External Reset can be  
forced low. Then, the JTD bit will be cleared after two chip clocks, and the JTAG pins  
are available for programming. This provides a means of using the JTAG pins as normal  
port pins in running mode while still allowing In-System Programming via the JTAG  
interface. Note that this technique can not be used when using the JTAG pins for  
Boundary-scan or On-chip Debug. In these cases the JTAG pins must be dedicated for  
this purpose.  
As a definition in this datasheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first of all Shift Registers.  
Programming Specific JTAG  
Instructions  
The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. The JTAG  
instructions useful for Programming are listed below.  
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format.  
The text describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for  
each instruction.  
The Run-Test/Idle state of the TAP controller is used to generate internal clocks. It can  
also be used as an idle state between JTAG sequences. The state machine sequence  
for changing the instruction word is shown in Figure 107.

AVR_RESET (0xC)  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for setting the AVR device in the Reset mode  
or taking the device out from the Reset mode. The TAP controller is not reset by this  
instruction. The one bit Reset Register is selected as data register. Note that the reset  
will be active as long as there is a logic “one” in the Reset Chain. The output from this  
chain is not latched.  
The active states are:  
Shift-DR: The Reset Register is shifted by the TCK input.  
PROG_ENABLE (0x4)  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for enabling programming via the JTAG port.  
The 16-bit Programming Enable Register is selected as data register. The active states  
are the following:  
Shift-DR: The programming enable signature is shifted into the Data Register.  
Update-DR: The programming enable signature is compared to the correct value,  
and Programming mode is entered if the signature is valid.  
PROG_COMMANDS (0x5)  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction for entering programming commands via the  
JTAG port. The 15-bit Programming Command Register is selected as data register.  
The active states are the following:  
Capture-DR: The result of the previous command is loaded into the Data Register.  
Shift-DR: The Data Register is shifted by the TCK input, shifting out the result of the  
previous command and shifting in the new command.  
Update-DR: The programming command is applied to the Flash inputs.  
Run-Test/Idle: One clock cycle is generated, executing the applied command (not  
always required, see Table 112 below).  
PROG_PAGELOAD (0x6)  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to directly load the Flash data page via the  
JTAG port. The 1024 bit Virtual Flash Page Load Register is selected as register. This is  
a virtual scan chain with length equal to the number of bits in one Flash page. Internally  
the Shift Register is 8-bit. Unlike most JTAG instructions, the Update-DR state is not  
used to transfer data from the Shift Register. The data are automatically transferred to  
the Flash page buffer byte-by-byte in the Shift-DR state by an internal state machine.  
This is the only active state:  
Shift-DR: Flash page data are shifted in from TDI by the TCK input, and  
automatically loaded into the Flash page one byte at a time.  
Note:  
The JTAG instruction PROG_PAGELOAD can only be used if the AVR device is the first  
device in JTAG scan chain. If the AVR cannot be the first device in the scan chain, the  
byte-wise programming algorithm must be used.  
PROG_PAGEREAD (0x7)  
The AVR specific public JTAG instruction to read one full Flash data page via the JTAG  
port. The 1032 bit Virtual Flash Page Read Register is selected as data register. This is  
a virtual scan chain with length equal to the number of bits in one Flash page plus eight.  
Internally the Shift Register is 8-bit. Unlike most JTAG instructions, the Capture-DR  
state is not used to transfer data to the Shift Register. The data are automatically trans-  
ferred from the Flash page buffer byte-by-byte in the Shift-DR state by an internal state  
machine. This is the only active state:  
Shift-DR: Flash data are automatically read one byte at a time and shifted out on  
TDO by the TCK input. The TDI input is ignored.  
Note:  
The JTAG instruction PROG_PAGEREAD can only be used if the AVR device is the first  
device in JTAG scan chain. If the AVR cannot be the first device in the scan chain, the  
byte-wise programming algorithm must be used.

Data Registers  
The Data Registers are selected by the JTAG Instruction Registers described in section  
“Programming Specific JTAG Instructions” on page 249. The Data Registers relevant for  
programming operations are:  
Reset Register  
Programming Enable Register.  
Programming Command Register.  
Virtual Flash Page Load Register.  
Virtual Flash Page Read Register.  
Reset Register  
The Reset Register is a test data register used to reset the part during programming. It  
is required to reset the part before entering Programming mode.  
A high value in the Reset Register corresponds to pulling the external reset low. The  
part is reset as long as there is a high value present in the Reset Register. Depending  
on the fuse settings for the clock options, the part will remain reset for a Reset Time-out  
period (refer to “Clock Sources” on page 34) after releasing the Reset Register. The out-  
put from this data register is not latched, so the reset will take place immediately, as  
shown in Figure 86 on page 205.  
Programming Enable Register The Programming Enable Register is a 16-bit register. The contents of this register is  
compared to the programming enable signature, binary code 1010_0011_0111_0000.  
When the contents of the register is equal to the programming enable signature, pro-  
gramming via the JTAG port is enabled. The register is reset to 0 on Power-on Reset,  
and should always be reset when leaving Programming mode.

Virtual Flash Page Load  
Register  
The Virtual Flash Page Load Register is a virtual scan chain with length equal to the  
number of bits in one Flash page. Internally the Shift Register is 8-bit, and the data are  
automatically transferred to the Flash page buffer byte-by-byte. Shift in all instruction  
words in the page, starting with the LSB of the first instruction in the page and ending  
with the MSB of the last instruction in the page. This provides an efficient way to load the  
entire Flash page buffer before executing Page Write.

Virtual Flash Page Read  
Register  
The Virtual Flash Page Read Register is a virtual scan chain with length equal to the  
number of bits in one Flash page plus eight. Internally the Shift Register is 8-bit, and the  
data are automatically transferred from the Flash data page byte-by-byte. The first eight  
cycles are used to transfer the first byte to the internal Shift Register, and the bits that  
are shifted out during these right cycles should be ignored. Following this initialization,  
data are shifted out starting with the LSB of the first instruction in the page and ending  
with the MSB of the last instruction in the page. This provides an efficient way to read  
one full Flash page to verify programming.

Notes: 1. “Max” means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low  
2. “Min” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high  
3. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20 mA at Vcc = 5V, 10 mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state  
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:  
PDIP Package:  
1] The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 300 mA.  
2] The sum of all IOL, for port B0 - B7, D0 - D7, and XTAL2, should not exceed 150 mA.  
3] The sum of all IOL, for ports A0 - A7, E0 - E2, C0 - C7, should not exceed 150 mA.  
TQFP and MLF Package:  
1] The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 400 mA.  
2] The sum of all IOL, for ports B0 - B7, D0 - D7, and XTAL2, should not exceed 200 mA.  
3] The sum of all IOL, for ports C0 - C7 and E1 - E2, should not exceed 200 mA.  
4] The sum of all IOL, for ports A0 - A7 and E0, should not exceed 200 mA.  
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater  
than the listed test condition.  
4. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (20 mA at Vcc = 5V, 10 mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state  
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:  
PDIP Package:  
1] The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 300 mA.  
2] The sum of all IOH, for port B0 - B7, D0 - D7, and XTAL2, should not exceed 150 mA.  
3] The sum of all IOH, for ports A0 - A7, E0 - E2, C0 - C7, should not exceed 150 mA.  
TQFP and MLF Package:  
1] The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 400 mA.  
2] The sum of all IOH, for ports B0 - B7, D0 - D7, and XTAL2, should not exceed 200 mA.  
3] The sum of all IOH, for ports C0 - C7 and E1 - E2, should not exceed 200 mA.  
4] The sum of all IOH, for ports A0 - A7 and E0, should not exceed 200 mA.  
If IOH exceeds the test condition, VOH may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to source current  
greater than the listed test condition.

ATmega162 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. A sine wave generator with rail-  
to-rail output is used as clock source. The CKSEL Fuses are programmed to select  
external clock.  
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.  
The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: Operating voltage,  
operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and  
ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.  
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as  
CL*VCC*f where CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switch-  
ing 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.

Notes: 1. When the OCDEN Fuse is unprogrammed, the OSCCAL Register is always accessed on this address. Refer to the debug-  
ger specific documentation for details on how to use the OCDR Register.  
2. Refer to the USART description for details on how to access UBRRH and UCSRC.  
3. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses  
should never be written.  
4. Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instructions will operate on  
all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions  
work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.

Erratas  
The revision letter in this section refers to the revision of the ATmega162 device.  
ATmega162, all rev.  
There are no errata for this revision of ATmega162. However, a proposal for solving  
problems regarding the JTAG instruction IDCODE is presented below.  
IDCODE masks data from TDI input  
The public but optional JTAG instruction IDCODE is not implemented correctly  
according to IEEE1149.1; a logic one is scanned into the shift register instead of the  
TDI input while shifting the Device ID Register. Hence, captured data from the pre-  
ceding devices in the boundary scan chain are lost and replaced by all-ones, and  
data to succeeding devices are replaced by all-ones during Update-DR.  
If ATmega162 is the only device in the scan chain, the problem is not visible.  
Problem Fix/ Workaround  
Select the Device ID Register of the ATmega162 (Either by issuing the IDCODE  
instruction or by entering the Test-Logic-Reset state of the TAP controller) to read  
out the contents of its Device ID Register and possibly data from succeeding  
devices of the scan chain. Note that data to succeeding devices cannot be entered  
during this scan, but data to preceding devices can. Issue the BYPASS instruction  
to the ATmega162 to select its Bypass Register while reading the Device ID Regis-  
ters of preceding devices of the boundary scan chain. Never read data from  
succeeding devices in the boundary scan chain or upload data to the succeeding  
devices while the Device ID Register is selected for the ATmega162. Note that the  
IDCODE instruction is the default instruction selected by the Test-Logic-Reset state  
of the TAP-controller.  
Alternative Problem Fix/ Workaround  
If the Device IDs of all devices in the boundary scan chain must be captured simul-  
taneously (for instance if blind interrogation is used), the boundary scan chain can  
be connected in such way that the ATmega162 is the fist device in the chain.  
Update-DR will still not work for the succeeding devices in the boundary scan chain  
as long as IDCODE is present in the JTAG Instruction Register, but the Device ID  
registered cannot be uploaded in any case.
