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 ATmega163 provides the following features: 16K bytes of In-System Self-Programmable Flash, 512 bytes EEPROM, 1024 bytes SRAM, 32 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a byte oriented 2-wire Serial Interface, an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC, a pro­grammable Watchdog Timer with internal oscillator, a programmable serial UART, an SPI serial port, and four software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the oscillator, dis­abling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Power Save mode, the asynchronous timer oscillator continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction Mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions.
The on-chip ISP Flash can be programmed through an SPI serial interface or a conventional programmer. By installing a self-programming boot loader, the microcontroller can be updated within the application without any external components. The boot program can use any interface to download the application program in the Application Flash memory. By combin­ing an 8-bit CPU with In-System self-programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega163 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega163 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 serves as the analog inputs to the A/D Converter. Port A also serves as an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port, if the A/D Converter is not used. Port pins can 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 pulled low, they will source current if the internal pull-up resistors are acti­vated. The Port A pins are tristated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

Port B (PB7..PB0)

Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port B output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega83/163 as listed on page 100. The Port B pins are tristated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

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 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 tristated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Port C also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega163 as listed on page 107.

Port D (PD7..PD0)

Port D is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port D output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega163 as listed on page 110. The Port D pins are tristated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

RESET

Reset input. A low level on this pin for more than 500 ns will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.

XTAL1

Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.

XTAL2

Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.

AVCC

This is the supply voltage pin for Port A and the A/D Converter. It should be externally connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC through a low-pass filter. See page 90 for details on opera­tion of the ADC.

AREF

This is the analog reference input pin for the A/D Converter. For ADC operations, a voltage in the range 2.5V to AV be applied to this pin.

AGND

Analog ground. If the board has a separate analog ground plane, this pin should be connected to this ground plane. Other­wise, connect to GND.

Architectural 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-bits 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 look-up tables in Flash program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bits X-register, Y-register, and Z-register.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations are also executed in the ALU. Figure 5 shows the ATmega163 AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller architecture.
In addition to the register operation, the conventional memory addressing modes can be used on the register file as well. This is enabled by the fact that the register file is assigned the 32 lowest 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 as Control Registers, Timer/Counters, A/D­converters, 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 in-system re-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.
Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot Program section (256 to 2048 bytes, see page 115) 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 is allowed only 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 11-bit stack pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O space.
The 1024 bytes 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 interrupts have a separate interrupt vector in the interrupt vector table at the beginning of the program memory. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their interrupt vector position. The lower the interrupt vector address, the higher the priority.

R31 $1F Z-register high byte
All the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single cycle access to all registers. The only exception is the five constant arithmetic and logic instructions SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI, and ORI between a constant and a register, and the LDI instruction for load immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the second half of the regis­ters in the register file - R16..R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP, AND, and OR and all other operations between two registers or on a single register apply to the entire register file.
As shown in Figure 7, 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 X-register, Y-register, And Z-register

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).

The ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit

The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, ALU operations between registers in the register file are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories - arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions.
ATmega163 also provides a powerful multiplier supporting
both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the Instruction Set section for a detailed description.

The In-System Self-programmable Flash Program Memory

The ATmega163 contains 16K bytes on-chip In-System Self-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 Program memory space is divided in two sections, Boot Program section and Application Program section.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 1000 write/erase cycles. The ATmega163 Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide, thus addressing the 8192 program memory locations. The operation of Boot Program section and associated Boot Lock Bits for software protection are described in detail on page 115. See also page 132 for a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see the LPM - Load Program Memory instruction description).
See also page 11 for the different program memory addressing modes.

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 + I/O Memory, and the next 1024 locations address the internal data SRAM.
The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Displacement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-Decrement, and Indirect with Post-Increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space. The Indirect with Displacement mode 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 1024 bytes of internal data SRAM in the ATmega163
are all accessible through all these addressing modes.

The Program and Data Addressing Modes

The ATmega163 AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller supports powerful and efficient addressing modes for access to the program memory (Flash) and data memory (SRAM, Register File, and I/O Memory). This section describes the different addressing modes supported by the AVR architecture. In the figures, OP means the operation code part of the instruction word. To simplify, not all figures show the exact location of the addressing bits.

The EEPROM Data Memory

The ATmega163 contains 512 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is organized as a separate data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase cycles. The access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described on page 53 specifying the EEPROM Address Registers, the EEPROM Data Register, and the EEPROM Control Register.
For the SPI data downloading, see page 132 for a detailed description.

Memory Access Times and Instruction Execution Timing

This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution and internal memory access. The AVR CPU is driven by the System Clock Ø, directly generated from the main oscillator for the chip. No internal clock
division is used. Figure 21 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture and the
fast-access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

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 chapter 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 these addresses. 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 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 $00 to $1F only.
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in the following sections.

The Status Register - SREG

The AVR status register - SREG - at I/O space location $3F ($5F) is defined as:
Bit 76543210
$3F ($5F) I T H S V N Z C SREG
Read/Write R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W
Initial value 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
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 the interrupt mask registers. If the global interrupt enable register is cleared (zero), none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the values of the interrupt mask registers. 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 twos complement overflow flag V. See the Instruc­tion Set Description for detailed information.
Bit 3 - V: Twos Complement Overflow Flag
The twos complement overflow flag V supports twos complement arithmetics. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.

Bit 2 - N: Negative Flag
The negative flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
Bit 1 - Z: Zero Flag
The zero flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
Bit 0 - C: Carry Flag
The carry flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
Note that the status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.

The Stack Pointer - SP

The ATmega163 Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space locations $3E ($5E) and $3D ($5D). As the ATmega163 data memory has $460 locations, 11 bits are used.

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 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 and 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.

Reset and Interrupt Handling

The ATmega163 provides 17 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 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 3. 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, etc.

Reset Sources

The ATmega163 has four 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 pin for more than 500 ns.
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 V
is below the brown-out reset threshold (V
CC
BOT
).
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from address $000 (unless the BOOTRST fuse is programmed, as explained above). The instruction placed in this address location must be a JMP ­absolute jump - instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the interrupt vec­tors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 24 shows the reset logic. Table 4 and Table 5 define the timing and electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.

Table 5 shows the start-up times from reset. When the CPU wakes up from power down or power save, only the clock counting part of the start-up time is used. The watchdog oscillator is used for timing the real-time 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 the Electrical Characteristics section. The device is shipped with CKSEL = ‘0010’ (Int. RC Oscillator, slowly rising power).

Note: The bod-level fuse can be used to select start-up times even if the Brown-out detection is disabled (BODEN fuse
unprogrammed).

Power-on Reset

A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The detection level is defined in Table 4. The POR is activated whenever V
is below the detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the start-up reset, as
CC
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 a delay counter, which determines the delay, for which the device is kept in RESET after V
rise. The
CC
time-out period of the delay counter can be defined by the user through the CKSEL fuses. The different selections for the delay period are presented in Table 5. The RESET signal is activated again, without any delay, when the V
decreases

External Reset

An 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
on its positive edge, the delay timer starts the MCU after the Time-out period t

Brown-out Detection

ATmega163 has an on-chip brown-out detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the V circuit can be enabled/disabled by the fuse BODEN. When the BOD is enabled (BODEN programmed), and V to a value below the trigger level, the brown-out reset is immediately activated. When V the brown-out reset is deactivated after a delay. The delay is defined by the user in the same way as the delay of POR sig­nal, in Table 5. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by the fuse BODLEVEL to be 2.7V (BODLEVEL unprogrammed), or 4.0V (BODLEVEL programmed). The trigger level has a hysteresis of 50 mV to ensure spike free brown-out detection.
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in V
if the voltage stays below the trigger level for longer than 9 µs for trigger level

Bits 7..4 - Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega163 and always read as zero.
Bit 3 - WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag
This bit is set if a watchdog reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
Bit 2 - BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag
This bit is set if a brown-out reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
Bit 1 - EXTRF: External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an external reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
Bit 0 - PORF: Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a power-on reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a logic zero to the flag. To make use of the reset flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then reset the MCUSR as early as
possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by examining the reset flags.

Internal Voltage Reference

ATmega163 features an internal bandgap reference with a nominal voltage of 1.22 V. This reference is used for Brown-Out Detection, and it can be used as an input to the Analog Comparator and ADC. The 2.56 V reference to the ADC is also gen­erated from the internal bandgap reference.

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 maximum start-up time is TBD. 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 BODEN fuse)
2. When the bandgap reference is connected to the Analog Comparator (by setting the ACBG bit in ACSR).
3. When the ADC is enabled. Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACBG bit, the user must always allow the reference to start up before
the output from the Analog Comparator is used. The bandgap reference uses typically 10 µA, and to reduce power con­sumption in Power Down mode, the user can avoid the three conditions above to ensure that the reference is turned off before entering Power Down mode.

Interrupt Handling

The ATmega163 has two 8-bit Interrupt Mask control registers: GIMSK - General Interrupt 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 must 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 logic one 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.
26
ATmega163(L)
ATmega163(L)
Note that external level interrupt does not have a flag, and will only be remembered for as long as the interrupt condition is present.
Note that the status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.

Interrupt Response Time

The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is 4 clock cycles minimum. After 4 clock cycles the pro­gram vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this 4 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 3 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 4 clock cycles.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes 4 clock cycles. During these 4 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 - OCF2: Output Compare Flag 2
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, and OCIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt Enable), and the OCF2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare match Interrupt is executed.
Bit 6 - TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV2 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I­bit, and TOIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In up/down PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at $00.
Bit 5 - ICF1: Input Capture Flag 1
The ICF1 bit is set (one) to flag an input capture event, indicating that the Timer/Counter1 value has been transferred to the input capture register - ICR1. ICF1 is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ICF1 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.
Bit 4 - OCF1A: Output Compare Flag 1A
The OCF1A bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter1 and the data in OCR1A - Output Compare Register 1A. OCF1A is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alterna­tively, OCF1A is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, and OCIE1A (Timer/Counter1 Compare match InterruptA Enable), and the OCF1A are set (one), the Timer/Counter1A Compare match Interrupt is executed.
Bit 3 - OCF1B: Output Compare Flag 1B
The OCF1B bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter1 and the data in OCR1B - Output Compare Register 1B. OCF1B is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alterna­tively, OCF1B is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, and OCIE1B (Timer/Counter1 Compare match InterruptB Enable), and the OCF1B are set (one), the Timer/Counter1B Compare match Interrupt is executed.
Bit 2 - TOV1: Timer/Counter1 Overflow Flag
The TOV1 is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter1. TOV1 is cleared by hardware when executing the cor­responding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV1 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, and TOIE1 (Timer/Counter1 Overflow Interrupt Enable), and TOV1 are set (one), the Timer/Counter1 Overflow Interrupt is executed. In up/down PWM mode, this bit is set when Timer/Counter1 changes counting direction at $0000.
Bit 1 - Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATmega163 and the read value is undefined.
Bit 0 - TOV0: Timer/Counter0 Overflow Flag
The bit TOV0 is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter0. TOV0 is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, TOV0 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I­bit, and TOIE0 (Timer/Counter0 Overflow Interrupt Enable), and TOV0 are set (one), the Timer/Counter0 Overflow interrupt is executed.

External Interrupts

The external interrupts are triggered by the INT0 and INT1 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0/INT1 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. This is set up as indicated in the specification for the MCU Control Register - MCUCR. When the external interrupt is enabled and is configured as level triggered, the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low.

Bit 7 - Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATmega163 and always reads as zero.
Bit 6 - SE: Sleep Enable
The SE bit must be set (one) to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed. To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmers purpose, it is recommended to set the Sleep Enable SE bit just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction.
Bits 5,4 - SM1/SM0: Sleep Mode Select bits 1 and 0
These bits select between the three available sleep modes as shown in Table 7.

Bits 3, 2 - ISC11, ISC10: Interrupt Sense Control 1 bit 1 and bit 0
The External Interrupt 1 is activated by the external pin INT1 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt mask in the GIMSK are set. The level and edges on the external INT1 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in Table 8. The value on the INT1 pin is sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to generate an interrupt.
Table 8. Interrupt 1 Sense Control
ISC11 ISC10 Description
0 0 The low level of INT1 generates an interrupt request.
0 1 Any logical change on INT1 generates an interrupt request.
1 0 The falling edge of INT1 generates an interrupt request.
1 1 The rising edge of INT1 generates an interrupt request.
Bit 1, 0 - ISC01, ISC00: Interrupt Sense Control 0 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The External Interrupt 0 is activated by the external pin INT0 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt mask are set. The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in Table 9. The value on the INT0 pin is sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is selected, the low level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to generate an interrupt.
