ATmega329/3290/649/6490
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 ATmega329/3290/649/6490 provides the following features: 32/64K bytes of InSystem Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 1/2K bytes EEPROM,
2/4K byte SRAM, 54/69 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, a JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, On-chip Debugging support and
programming, a complete On-chip LCD controller with internal contrast control, three
flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial
programmable USART, Universal Serial Interface with Start Condition Detector, an 8channel, 10-bit ADC, 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 contents but freezes the
Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In
Power-save mode, the asynchronous timer and the LCD controller continues to run,
allowing the user to maintain a timer base and operate the LCD display while the rest of
the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer, LCD controller and ADC, to minimize switching noise
during ADC conversions. 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 lowpower consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology.
The On-chip In-System re-Programmable (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. Software 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 ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a
highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega329/3290/649/6490 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.

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 definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
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.

AVR CPU Core
IntroductionThis 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.

I/O Lines
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 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 InSystem 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,
9
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 these
address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program 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 constant 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.
ALU – Arithmetic Logic
Unit
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. In addition,
the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 has Extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM
where only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
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-functions. Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier
supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the “Instruction Set” section for a detailed description.

ATmega329/3290/649/6490
AVR Status RegisterThe 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.
SREG – AVR Status RegisterThe AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:

0x3F (0x5F)ITHSVNZCSREG
Read/WriteR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W
Initial Value00000000
• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global
Interrupt Enable Register is cleared, 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 Ibit 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 Complement 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
2552H–AVR–11/06
The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction 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 5, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping
them directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically 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.

The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage.
These registers are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space.

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment, and automatic decrement (see the instruction set
reference for details).
Stack PointerThe 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 Register 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 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 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 number 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 clk
, directly generated from the selected clock
CPU
source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 7 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 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 281 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 49.
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 MCU Control Register (MCUCR).
Refer to “Interrupts” on page 49 for more information. The Reset Vector can 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 268.
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 interrupts. 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 remembered 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 corresponding 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 disappears 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 execute one more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, 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 simultaneously 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; start EEPROM write
sbi EECR, EEWE
out SREG, r16; restore SREG value (I-bit)
C Code Example
char cSREG;
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */
__disable_interrupt();
EECR |= (1<<EEMWE); /* start EEPROM write */
EECR |= (1<<EEWE);
SREG = cSREG; /* restore SREG value (I-bit) */
2552H–AVR–11/06

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
__enable_interrupt(); /* set Global Interrupt Enable */
__sleep(); /*enter sleep, waiting for interrupt */
/* note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s) */
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 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.

AVR ATmega329/3290/649/6490 Memories
This section describes the different memories in the ATmega329/3290/649/6490. The
AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the Data Memory and the Program
Memory space. In addition, the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 features an EEPROM
Memory for data storage. All three memory spaces are linear.

In-System
Reprogrammable Flash
Program Memory
The ATmega329/3290/649/6490 contains 32/64K bytes On-chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage. Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits
wide, the Flash is organized as 16/32K 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
ATmega329/3290/649/6490 Program Counter (PC) is 14/15 bits wide, thus addressing
the 16/32K 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 268. “Memory Programming”
on page 281 contains 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 Execution Timing” on page 14.

SRAM Data MemoryFigure 10 shows how the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 SRAM Memory is organized.
F
The ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units
than can be supported within the 64 locations 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 lower 2304/4352 data memory locations address both the Register File, the I/O
memory, Extended I/O memory, and the internal data SRAM. The first 32 locations
address the Register File, the next 64 location the standard I/O memory, then 160 locations of Extended I/O memory, and the next 2048/4096 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 reaches 63 address locations from the base
address given by the Y- or Z-register.
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and postincrement, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or incremented.
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers, 160 Extended I/O Registers, and the 2,048 bytes of internal data SRAM in the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 are
all accessible through all these addressing modes. The Register File is described in
“General Purpose Register File” on page 12.

EEPROM Data MemoryThe ATmega329/3290/649/6490 contains 1/2K 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 in the following, specifying the
EEPROM Address Registers, the EEPROM Data Register, and the EEPROM Control
Register.
For a detailed description of SPI, JTAG and Parallel data downloading to the EEPROM,
see page 296, page 301, and page 284 respectively.
EEPROM Read/Write AccessThe EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.
The write access time for the EEPROM is given in Table 2. A self-timing function, however, 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, V
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
23. for details on how to avoid problems in these situations.
is likely to rise or fall slowly on power-up/down. This
CC
2552H–AVR–11/06
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be followed. 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.
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 and will always read as
zero.
• Bits 10:0 – EEAR10:0: EEPROM Address
The EEPROM Address Registers – EEARH and EEARL specify the EEPROM address
in the 1/2K bytes EEPROM space. The EEPROM data bytes are addressed linearly
between 0 and 1023/2047. The initial value of EEAR is undefined. A proper value must
be written before the EEPROM may be accessed.
Note:EEAR10 is only valid for ATmega649 and ATmega6490.

These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 and will always read as

• 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
20
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.
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
2552H–AVR–11/06
ATmega329/3290/649/6490
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 SPMCSR 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
can be omitted. See “Boot Loader Support – Read-While-Write Self-Programming” on
page 268 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 2 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 interrupts 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 command to finish.

EEPROM Write During Powerdown Sleep Mode
Preventing EEPROM
Corruption
2552H–AVR–11/06
When entering Power-down sleep mode while an EEPROM write operation is active, the
EEPROM write operation will continue, and will complete before the Write Access time
has passed. However, when the write operation is completed, the clock 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.
During periods of low V
the EEPROM data can be corrupted because the supply volt-
CC,
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:
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
23
level of the internal BOD does not match the needed detection level, an external low
V
reset Protection circuit can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in
CC
progress, the write operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is
sufficient.
I/O MemoryThe I/O space definition of the ATmega329/3290/649/6490 is shown in “Register Sum-
mary” on page 350.
All ATmega329/3290/649/6490 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 ATmega329/3290/649/6490 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.
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, unlike
most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and
can therefore be used on registers containing such Status Flags. The CBI and SBI
instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in later sections.
General Purpose I/O Registers The ATmega329/3290/649/6490 contains three General Purpose I/O Registers. These
registers can be used for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for
storing global variables and Status Flags. General Purpose I/O Registers within the
address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and
SBIC instructions.

Figure 12 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
clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes, as
described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 33. The clock systems
are detailed below.

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 Register 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. Also note that start condition detection in the USI
module is carried out asynchronously when clk
is halted, enabling USI start condition
I/O
detection in all sleep modes.
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually
active simultaneously with the CPU clock.
The Asynchronous Timer clock allows the Asynchronous Timer/Counter and the LCD
controller to be clocked directly from an external clock or an external 32 kHz clock crystal. The dedicated clock domain allows using this Timer/Counter as a real-time counter
even when the device is in sleep mode. It also allows the LCD controller output to continue while the rest of the device is in sleep mode.

ADC Clock – clk
ADC
The ADC is provided with a dedicated clock domain. This allows halting the CPU and
I/O clocks in order to reduce noise generated by digital circuitry. This gives more accurate ADC conversion results.
Clock SourcesThe 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.

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 real-time part of the start-up time. The number of WDT Oscillator cycles
used for each time-out is shown in Table 4. The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is
voltage dependent as shown in “ATmega329/3290/649/6490 Typical Characteristics –
Preliminary Data” on page 320.

Default Clock SourceThe device is shipped with CKSEL = “0010”, SUT = “10”, and CKDIV8 programmed.
The default clock source setting is the Internal RC Oscillator with longest start-up 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.
Crystal OscillatorXTAL1 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 13. 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 capacitance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial guidelines for
choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in Table 5. 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 frequency 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-frequency
crystal Oscillator must be selected by setting the CKSEL Fuses to “0110” or “0111”. The
crystal should be connected as shown in Figure 13. When this Oscillator is selected,

The calibrated Internal RC Oscillator by default provides a 8.0 MHz clock. The frequency is nominal value at 3V and 25°C. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse
programmed. See “System Clock Prescaler” on page 31 for more details.
This clock may be selected as the system clock by programming the CKSEL Fuses as
shown in Table 9 on page 29. If selected, it will operate with no external components.
During reset, hardware loads the pre-programmed calibration value into the OSCCAL
Register and thereby automatically calibrates the RC Oscillator. The accuracy of this
calibration is shown as Factory calibration in Table 143 on page 319.
By changing the OSCCAL register from SW, see “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register” on page 29, it is possible to get a higher calibration accuracy than by using the
factory calibration. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as User calibration in Table
143 on page 319.
When this Oscillator is used as the chip clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used
for the Watchdog Timer and for the Reset Time-out. For more information on the preprogrammed calibration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 284.
Notes:1. The device is shipped with this option selected.
2. The frequency ranges are preliminary values. Actual values are TBD.
3. If 8 MHz frequency exceeds the specification of the device (depends on VCC), the
CKDIV8 Fuse can be programmed in order to divide the internal frequency by 8.

• Bits 7:0 – CAL7:0: Oscillator Calibration Value
The Oscillator Calibration Register is used to trim the Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator
to remove process variations from the oscillator frequency. A pre-programmed calibration value is automatically written to this register during chip reset, giving the Factory
calibrated frequency as specified in Table 143 on page 319. The application software
can write this register to change the oscillator frequency. The oscillator can be calibrated
to frequencies as specified in Table 143 on page 319. Calibration outside that range is
not guaranteed.
Note that this oscillator is used to time EEPROM and Flash write accesses, and these
write times will be affected accordingly. If the EEPROM or Flash are written, do not calibrate to more than 8.8 MHz. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash write may fail.
The CAL7 bit determines the range of operation for the oscillator. Setting this bit to 0
gives the lowest frequency range, setting this bit to 1 gives the highest frequency range.
The two frequency ranges are overlapping, in other words a setting of OSCCAL = 0x7F
gives a higher frequency than OSCCAL = 0x80.
The CAL6..0 bits are used to tune the frequency within the selected range. A setting of
0x00 gives the lowest frequency in that range, and a setting of 0x7F gives the highest
frequency in the range.

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 31 for details.
