ATmega161(L)
DescriptionThe ATmega161 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC
architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega161
achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to
optimize power consumption versus processing speed. 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 ATmega161 provides the following features: 16K bytes of In-System or Selfprogrammable Flash, 512 bytes EEPROM, 1K byte of SRAM, 35 general purpose I/O
lines, 32 general purpose working registers, Real-time Counter, three flexible
Timer/Counters with Compare modes, internal and external interrupts, two programmable serial UARTs, programmable Watchdog Timer with internal Oscillator, an SPI serial
port and three 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 and SRAM contents but freezes
the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next External Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the timer Oscillator continues to run, allowing the
user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density non-volatile memory technology.
The On-chip Flash Program memory can be reprogrammed using the Self-programming
capability through the Boot Block and an ISP through the SPI port, or by using a conventional non-volatile Memory programmer. By combining an enhanced RISC 8-bit CPU
with In-System Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega161 is a
powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to
many embedded control applications.
The ATmega161 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, In-Circuit Emulators and evaluation kits.

Port A (PA7..PA0)Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port. Port pins can provide internal pull-up resistors
(selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers can sink 20 mA and can drive LED displays directly. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low,
they will source current if the internal pull-up 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 serves as a Multiplexed Address/Data port when using external memory
interface.
Port B (PB7..PB0)Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port B output
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. 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 ATmega161 as listed
on page 92.
Port C (PC7..PC0)Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port C output
buffers can sink 20 mA. 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.
Port C also serves as an address high output when using external memory interface.
Port D (PD7..PD0)Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port D output
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega161 as listed
on page 101.
Port E (PE2..PE0)Port E is a 3-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port E output
buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port E pins that are externally pulled low will source
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. 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 ATmega161 as listed
on page 107.

Overview
The fast-access Register File concept contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This means that during one single clock
cycle, one Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation is executed. Two operands are output
from the Register File, the operation is executed and the result is stored back in the
Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for
Data Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the three
address pointers is also used as the address pointer for the constant table look-up function. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-register, Y-register and Z-register.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic functions between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations are also executed in the ALU. Figure 4
shows the ATmega161 AVR RISC microcontroller architecture.

In addition to the register operation, the conventional Memory Addressing modes can be
used on the Register File. This is enabled by the fact that the Register File is assigned
the 32 lowermost Data Space addresses ($00 - $1F), allowing them to be accessed as
though they were ordinary memory locations.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions such as
Control Registers, Timer/Counters, 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,
$20 - $5F.
The AVR uses a Harvard architecture concept – with separate memories and buses for
program and data. The Program memory is executed with a two-stage pipeline. While
one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the Program
memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The
Program memory is Self-programmable Flash memory.
With the jump and call instructions, the whole 8K word address space is directly
accessed. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format. Every Program
memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is
stored on the Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM and,
consequently, the Stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the
SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP (Stack Pointer) in the reset routine
(before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The 16-bit Stack Pointer is read/write
accessible in the I/O space.
The 1K byte data SRAM can be easily 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 the different interrupts have a separate Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table at the beginning of the Program
memory. The different interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector
position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.

All the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single cycle
access to all registers. The only exceptions are the five constant arithmetic and logic
instructions SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI, and ORI between a constant and a register, and
the LDI instruction for load immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the
second half of the registers in the Register File – R16..R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP,
AND, and OR, and all other operations between two registers or on a single register
apply to the entire Register File.
The X-register, Y-register and
Z-register
As shown in Figure 6, each register is also assigned a Data memory address, mapping
them directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great
flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y-, and Z-registers can be set to index any
register in the file.
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage.
These registers are address pointers for indirect addressing of the Data Space. The
three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as:

In the different Addressing modes, these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment and decrement (see the descriptions for the different
instructions).
ALU – Arithmetic Logic
Unit
Self-programmable Flash
Program Memory
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general
purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, ALU operations between registers in the Register File are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main
categories – arithmetic, logical and bit functions. ATmega161 also provides a powerful
multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the
Instruction Set section for a detailed description.
The ATmega161 contains 16K bytes of On-chip Self-programmable and In-System Programmable Flash memory for program storage. Since all instructions are 16- or 32-bit
words, the Flash is organized as 8K x 16. The Flash memory has an endurance of at
least 1,000 write/erase cycles. The ATmega161 Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide,
thus addressing the 8,192 Program memory locations.
See page 110 for a detailed description of Flash data downloading.
See page 13 for the different Program Memory Addressing modes.
EEPROM Data MemoryThe ATmega161 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 per location. The interface between the
EEPROM and the CPU is described on page 60, specifying the EEPROM Address Registers, the EEPROM Data Register and the EEPROM Control Register.
For the SPI data downloading, see page 125 for a detailed description.

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 1K locations address the internal data SRAM. An optional external Data
memory device can be placed in the same SRAM memory space. This memory device
will occupy the locations following the internal SRAM and up to as much as 64K - 1,
depending on external memory size.
When the addresses accessing the Data memory space exceed the internal data SRAM
locations, the memory device is accessed using the same instructions as for the internal
data SRAM access. When the internal data space is accessed, the read and write
strobe pins (RD
and WR) are inactive during the whole access cycle. External memory
operation is enabled by setting the SRE bit in the MCUCR Register. See “Interface to
External Memory” on page 84 for details.
Accessing external memory takes one additional clock cycle per byte compared to
access of the internal SRAM. This means that the commands LD, ST, LDS, STS,
PUSH, and POP take one additional clock cycle. If the Stack is placed in external memory, interrupts, subroutine calls and returns take two clock cycles extra because the 2byte Program Counter is pushed and popped. When external memory interface is used
with wait state, two additional clock cycles are used per byte. This has the following
effect: Data transfer instructions take two extra clock cycles, whereas interrupt, subroutine calls and returns will need four clock cycles more than specified in the Instruction
Set manual.

The five different Addressing modes for the Data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with
Displacement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement and Indirect with Post-increment. In
the Register File, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect Addressing Pointer
Registers.
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.
The Indirect with Displacement mode features a 63-address locations reach from the
base address given by the Y- or Z-register.
When using Register Indirect Addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and
post-increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented and incremented.
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers and the 1K byte of internal
data SRAM in the ATmega161 are all accessible through all these Addressing modes.
See the next section for a detailed description of the different Addressing modes.

All ATmega161 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. The I/O locations are
accessed by the IN and OUT instructions transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O Registers within the address range $00 $1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these registers, the
value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to
the instruction set section for more details. When using the I/O specific commands IN
and OUT, the I/O addresses $00 - $3F must be used. When addressing I/O Registers as
SRAM, $20 must be added to this address. All I/O Register addresses throughout this
document are shown with the SRAM address in parentheses.
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed.
Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written.
Some of the Status Flags are cleared by writing a logical “1” to them. Note that the CBI
and SBI instructions will operate on all bits in the I/O Register, writing a one back into
any flag read as set, thus clearing the Flag. The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers $00 to $1F only.
The I/O and Peripherals Control Registers are explained in the following sections.
Status Register – SREGThe AVR Status Register (SREG) at I/O space location $3F ($5F) is defined as:

• Bit 7
– I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set (one) for the interrupts to be enabled. The
individual interrupt enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the
Global Interrupt Enable bit is cleared (zero), none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an
interrupt has occurred and is set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent
interrupts.
• Bit 6
– T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source
and destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be 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. See the
Instruction Set description for detailed information.
• Bit 4
– S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V. See the Instruction Set description for detailed information.

Stack Pointer – SPThe ATmega161 Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space
locations $3E ($5E) and $3D ($5D). As the ATmega161 supports up to 64-Kbyte memory, all 16 bits are used.

Reset and Interrupt
Handling
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the
program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack
Pointer must be set to point above $60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by 1 when
data is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by 2
when an address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine calls and interrupts. The
Stack Pointer is incremented by 1 when data is popped from the Stack with the POP
instruction, and it is incremented by 2 when an address is popped from the Stack with
return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt (RETI).
The ATmega161 provides 20 different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector each have a separate Program Vector in the Program memory space.
All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits that must be set (one) together with the
I-bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are automatically defined as the
Reset and Interrupt vectors. The complete list of Vectors is shown in Table 2. The list
also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address, the
higher the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 (the External
Interrupt Request 0) and so on.

Reset SourcesThe ATmega161 has three sources of Reset:
•Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on
Reset threshold (V
POT
).
•External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET
more than 500 ns.
•Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and
the Watchdog is enabled.
During Reset, all I/O Registers are then set to their initial values and the program starts
execution from address $000. The instruction placed in address $000 must be a JMP
(relative jump) instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an
interrupt source, the Interrupt Vectors are not used and regular program code can be
placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 24 shows the Reset Logic. Table
3 and Table 4 define the timing and electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.

Power-on ResetA Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip detection circuit. The detec-
tion level is nominally 1.4V (rising V
the detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as
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 a delay counter, which determines
the delay, for which the device is kept in RESET after V
the delay counter can be defined by the user through the CKSEL fuses. The eight different selections for the delay period are presented in Table 4. The RESET signal is
activated again, without any delay, when the V
External ResetAn External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer
than 500 ns will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are
not guaranteed to generate a Reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset
Threshold Voltage (V

Watchdog ResetWhen the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of 1 XTAL cycle dura-
tion. On the falling edge of this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the Time-out period
(t

• Bits 7..4
– Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega161 and always read as zero.
• Bit 3
– WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Watchdog Reset occurs. The bit is cleared by a Power-on Reset or by
writing a logical “0” to the Flag.
• Bit 2
– Res: Reserved Bit
This bit are reserved bit in the ATmega161 and always read as zero.
• Bit 1
– EXTRF: External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an External Reset occurs. The bit is cleared by a Power-on Reset or by
writing a logical “0” to the Flag.
• Bit 0
– PORF: Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Power-on Reset occurs. The bit is cleared only by writing a logical “0”
to the Flag.
To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and
then clear the MCUSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared
before another reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by examining the
Reset Flags.
Interrupt HandlingThe ATmega161 has two 8-bit Interrupt Mask Control Registers; GIMSK (General Inter-
rupt Mask Register) and TIMSK (Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register).
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared (zero) and all interrupts are disabled. The user software can set (one) the I-bit to enable nested interrupts.
The I-bit is set (one) when a Return from Interrupt instruction (RETI) is executed.
When the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute
the interrupt handling routine, hardware clears the corresponding flag that generated the
interrupt. Some of the Interrupt Flags can also be cleared by writing a logical “1” to the
Flag bit position(s) to be cleared.
If an interrupt condition occurs when the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared
(zero), the Interrupt Flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled or the
Flag is cleared by software.
If one or more interrupt conditions occur when the global interrupt enable bit is cleared
(zero), the corresponding Interrupt Flag(s) will be set and remembered until the global
interrupt enable bit is set (one), and will be executed by order of priority.
1228C–AVR–08/02
Note that external level interrupt does not have a flag and will only be remembered for
as long as the interrupt condition is present.
29
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine or restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by
software.
Interrupt Response TimeThe 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
(13 bits) 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 multicycle 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.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four
clock cycles, the Program Counter (2 bytes) is popped back from the Stack, the Stack
Pointer is incremented by 2, and the I-Flag in SREG is set. When AVR exits from an
interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction
before any pending interrupt is served.

• 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 is 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 Program
memory address $004. See also “External Interrupts”.
• 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 is 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 Program
memory address $002. See also “External Interrupts.”

• 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 activated. The Interrupt Sense Control2 bit (ISC02 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 interrupt request even if INT2 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of
External Interrupt Request 2 is executed from Program memory address $006. See also
“External Interrupts.”
