AT90S8515
Description
The AT90S8 515 is a low-p ower CMOS 8-bit mic rocontroll er based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture . By exe cuting powe rful instruc tions in a single clock
cycle, the AT90S8515 achieves throughpu ts approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing
the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The AVR core combines a rich instr uction set with 32 gene ral purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU),
allowing two indep endent r egisters to be acce ssed in one singl e instr uction execute d
in one clock cycle. Th e resulting arc hitecture is mor e code efficie nt while achievin g
throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.

The AT90S8515 Block Diagram
The AT90S8515 provides the following features: 8K bytes
of In-System Programmable Flash, 512 bytes EEPROM,
512 bytes SRAM, 32 gen eral purpo se I/O li nes, 3 2 general
purpose working registers, flexible timer/counters with
compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a programmable serial UART, programmable Watchdog Timer
with internal oscillator, an SPI serial port and two software
selectable pow er saving modes. T he Idl e Mode sto ps the
CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counters, SPI port
and interrupt syste m to contin ue functioning . The power
down mode saves the register contents but freezes the
oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next
interrupt or hardware reset.

AT90S8515
The device is manufac tured using Atmel’ s high density
non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip in-system
programmable Flash allows the program memory to be
reprogrammed in-sys tem th ro ugh an S PI se rial i nterface or
by a conventional n onvolatile memo ry programmer. By
combining an enhanced RISC 8-bit CPU wit h In-System
Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel
AT90S8515 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a
highly flexible and co st effect ive solution to many em bedded control applications.
The AT90S8515 AVR is supported with a full s uite of program and system development tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/si mulators, incircuit emulators, and evaluati on kits.

Pin Descriptions

GND
Ground
Port A (PA7..PA0)
Port A is an 8 -bit b idirec tional I/O port. Port p ins ca n provide internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port A output buffers can sink 20mA and can drive LED displays directly. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs
and are externally pull ed low, they will source c urrent if the
internal pull-up resistors are activated.
Port A serves as Multiplexed Address/Data input/output
when using external SRAM.
Port B (PB7..PB0)
Port B is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O pins with internal pull-up
resistors. The Port B output buffers can sink 20 mA. As
inputs, Port B pins t hat a re ex ter nally pu ll ed l ow wi ll sour c e
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.
Port B also serves the fu nction s of vario us speci al feat ures
of the AT90S8515 as listed on page 46.
Port C (PC7..PC0)
Port C is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-up
resistors. The Port C output buffers can sink 20 mA. As
inputs, Port C pins that are exter nal ly pul led low wil l sour ce
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.
Port C als o s erv es as Addr es s ou tp ut when us ing ext ern al
SRAM.
Port D (PD7..PD0)
Port D is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-up
resistors. The Port D output buffers can sink 20 mA. As
inputs, Port D pins that are exter nal ly pul led low wil l sour ce
current if the pull-up resistors are activated.
Port D also serves th e fu nc tion s of v ario us sp ec ial fea tur es
of the AT90S8515 as listed on page 52.
RESET
Reset input. A low on th is pi n for two machi ne cy cles wh ile
the oscillator is running resets the device.
XTAL1
Input to the inverting os cillator amplifi er and input to th e
internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier
ICP
ICP is the input pin for the Time r/Counter1 Inpu t Capture
function.
OC1B
OC1B is the output pin for the Timer/Counter1 Output
CompareB function
ALE
ALE is the Address Latch Enable used when the Ex ternal
Memory is enabled. The ALE strob e is used to latch the
low-order address (8 bits) into an address latch during the
first access cy cle, and the A D0-7 pins a re used for data
during the second access cycle.
Crystal Oscillator
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an
inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an
on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 2. Either a quartz
crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the
device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left
unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 3.
