OverviewThe ATmega8 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC
architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega8
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 ATmega8 provides the following features: 8K bytes of In-System Programmable
Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 1K byte of SRAM, 23
general-purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible
timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable USART, a byte oriented 2-wire Serial Interface, a 6-channel ADC (8 channels in
TQFP and MLF packages) where 4 (6) channels have 10-bit accuracy and 2 channels
have 8-bit accuracy, 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 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. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator
oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up
combined with low-power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density nonvolatile memory technology.
The Flash program memory can be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial
interface, by a conventional nonvolatile 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 ATmega8 is a powerful microcontroller
that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control
applications.
The ATmega8 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.

/XTAL2 /TOSC1 /TOSC2

ATmega8
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each
bit). The Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink
and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the
inverting oscillator amplifier.

ATmega8
If the Internal Calibrated RC oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB7..6 is used as
TOSC2..1 input for the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.
The various special features of Port B are elaborated on page 54.
Port C (PC6..PC0) / RESET
Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each
bit). The Port C output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink
and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source
current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a reset
condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
If the RSTDISBL fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on
this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock
is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in Table 15 on page 34. Shorter
pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated on page 57.
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 have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink
and source capability. 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 ATmega8 as listed on
page 59.
RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in Table
15 on page 34. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.
XTAL1Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
AVCCAVCC is the supply voltage pin for Port A and the A/D Converter. It should be externally
connected to V
nected to V
, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be con-
CC
through a low-pass filter.

AREFAREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.
ADC7..6 (TQFP and MLF
Package Only)
In the TQFP and MLF package, ADC7..6 serve as analog inputs to the A/D converter.
These pins are powered from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit ADC channels.
0x00 (0x20)TWBR2-wire Serial Interface Bit Rate Register160
Notes: 1. Refer to the USART description for details on how to access UBRRH and UCSRC.
2. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
3. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that the CBI and SBI instructions will operate on
all bits in the I/O register, writing a one back into any flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions
work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
