Port B (PB[3:0])
This is a 4-bit, bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors, individually selectable for each bit. The
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics, with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
the port pins that are externally pulled low will source current if pull-up resistors are activated. Port pins
are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.
1.1.4.
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 and provided the reset pin has not been disabled. The minimum pulse length is
given in System and Reset Characteristics of Electrical Characteristics. Shorter pulses are not
guaranteed to generate a reset.
The reset pin can also be used as a (weak) I/O pin.

Description
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 16 general purpose working registers and system
registers. All 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 compact and code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC
microcontrollers.
This device provides the following features: 512/1024 byte of In-System Programmable Flash, 32 bytes of
SRAM, four general purpose I/O lines, 16 general purpose working registers, a 16-bit timer/counter with
two PWM channels, internal and external interrupts, a programmable watchdog timer with internal
oscillator, an internal calibrated oscillator, and four software selectable power saving modes. ATtiny5/10
are also equipped with a four-channel and 8-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counter, ADC (ATtiny5/10, only), analog
comparator, and interrupt system to continue functioning. ADC Noise Reduction mode minimizes
switching noise during ADC conversions by stopping the CPU and all I/O modules except the ADC. In
Power-down mode registers keep their contents and all chip functions are disabled until the next interrupt

or hardware reset. In Standby mode, the oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping,
allowing very fast start-up combined with low power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology. The onchip, in-system programmable Flash allows program memory to be re-programmed in-system by a
conventional, non-volatile memory programmer.
The ATtiny4/5/9/10AVR are supported by a suite of program and system development tools, including
macro assemblers 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. Confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.

Capacitive Touch Sensing
4.4.1.
QTouch Library
®
®
The Atmel QTouch Library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on
®
most Atmel AVR microcontrollers. The QTouch Library includes support for the Atmel QTouch and Atmel
®
QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate Atmel QTouch Library for the
AVR Microcontroller. This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors,
and then calling the touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information and determine the touch
sensor states.
The QTouch Library is FREE and downloadable from the Atmel website at the following location: http://
www.atmel.com/technologies/touch/. For implementation details and other information, refer to the Atmel
QTouch Library User Guide - also available for download from the Atmel website.

AVR CPU Core
5.1.
Overview
This 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.

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 In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 16 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, the operation is executed, and the result is
stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 16 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
Atmel ATtiny4 / ATtiny5 / ATtiny9 / ATtiny10 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
15
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 but 32-bit wide
instructions also exist. The actual instruction set varies, as some devices only implement a part of the
instruction set.
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 four 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. 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 as the data space locations, 0x0000 - 0x003F.
5.2.
ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 16 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 Instruction Set
Summary section for a detailed description.

Instruction Set Summary on page 198
5.3.
Status Register
The 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. 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.

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

Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct access to all registers, and most of
them are single cycle instructions.
5.5.
The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
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. The three indirect address registers X,
Y, and Z are defined as described in the figure.

Stack Pointer
The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing return
addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack is implemented as growing from higher to
lower memory locations. The Stack Pointer Register always points to the top of the Stack, and the Stack
Pointer must be set to point above 0x40.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are
located. A Stack PUSH command will decrease the Stack Pointer. The Stack in the data SRAM must be
defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. Initial Stack
Pointer value equals the last address of the internal SRAM and the Stack Pointer must be set to point
above start of the SRAM. See the table for Stack Pointer details.
Table 5-1 Stack Pointer Instructions

POP

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.
5.7.
Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR CPU is
driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal
clock division is used. The Figure below 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.

Reset and Interrupt Handling
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.
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. They have determined priority levels: The
lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the
External Interrupt Request 0.
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
Atmel ATtiny4 / ATtiny5 / ATtiny9 / ATtiny10 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
19
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.
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.
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)
Note: See Code Examples

About Code Examples on page 14
5.8.1.
Interrupt Response Time
The 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.

In order to change the contents of a protected I/O register the CCP register must first be written with the
correct signature. After CCP is written the protected I/O registers may be written to during the next four
CPU instruction cycles. All interrupts are ignored during these cycles. After these cycles interrupts are
automatically handled again by the CPU, and any pending interrupts will be executed according to their
priority.
When the protected I/O register signature is written, CCP[0] will read as one as long as the protected
feature is enabled, while CCP[7:1] will always read as zero.
CCP[7:1] only have write access. CCP[0] has both read and write access.

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 Ibit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by the RETI instruction to enable
subsequent interrupts. The I-bit 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: 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 Flag is useful in
BCD arithmetic. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
Bit 4 – S: Sign Flag, S = N ㊉ 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 arithmetic. 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.

AVR Memories
6.1.
Overview
This section describes the different memory types in the device. The AVR architecture has two main
memory spaces, the Data Memory and the Program Memory space. All memory spaces are linear and
regular.
6.2.
In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 contains 512/1024 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 256/512 x
16.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The device Program Counter
(PC) is 9 bits wide, thus addressing the 256/512 program memory locations, starting at 0x000. Memory
Programming contains a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire address space of program memory by using load/store
instructions. Since program memory can not be accessed directly, it has been mapped to the data
memory. The mapped program memory begins at byte address 0x4000 in data memory. Although
programs are executed starting from address 0x000 in program memory it must be addressed starting
from 0x4000 when accessed via the data memory.
Internal write operations to Flash program memory have been disabled and program memory therefore
appears to firmware as read-only. Flash memory can still be written to externally but internal write
operations to the program memory area will not be successful.
Timing diagrams of instruction fetch and execution are presented in Instruction Execution Timing section.

SRAM Data Memory
Data memory locations include the I/O memory, the internal SRAM memory, the Non-Volatile Memory
(NVM) Lock bits, and the Flash memory. The following figure shows how the ATtiny4/5/9/10 SRAM
Memory is organized.
The first 64 locations are reserved for I/O memory, while the following 32 data memory locations address
the internal data SRAM.
The Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Lock bits and all the Flash memory sections are mapped to the data
memory space. These locations appear as read-only for device firmware.
The four different addressing modes for data memory are direct, indirect, indirect with pre-decrement, and
indirect with post-increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 function as pointer registers for
indirect addressing.

The IN and OUT instructions can access all 64 locations of I/O memory. Direct addressing using the LDS
and STS instructions reaches the 128 locations between 0x0040 and 0x00BF.
The indirect addressing reaches the entire data memory space. When using indirect addressing modes
with automatic pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or
incremented.

I/O Memory
The I/O space definition of the device is shown in the Register Summary.
All ATtiny4/5/9/10 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may be accessed by
the LD and ST instructions, transferring data between the 16 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 Summary section for more details.
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 '1' to them; this is described in the flag descriptions.
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 0x00-0x1F only.
The I/O and Peripherals Control Registers are explained in later sections.

Data memory locations include the I/O memory, the internal SRAM memory, the Non-Volatile Memory
(NVM) Lock bits, and the Flash memory. The following figure shows how the ATtiny4/5/9/10 SRAM
Memory is organized.
The first 64 locations are reserved for I/O memory, while the following 32 data memory locations address
the internal data SRAM.
The Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Lock bits and all the Flash memory sections are mapped to the data
memory space. These locations appear as read-only for device firmware.
The four different addressing modes for data memory are direct, indirect, indirect with pre-decrement, and
indirect with post-increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 function as pointer registers for
indirect addressing.

The IN and OUT instructions can access all 64 locations of I/O memory. Direct addressing using the LDS
and STS instructions reaches the 128 locations between 0x0040 and 0x00BF.
The indirect addressing reaches the entire data memory space. When using indirect addressing modes
with automatic pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented or
incremented.

I/O Memory
The I/O space definition of the device is shown in the Register Summary.
All ATtiny4/5/9/10 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may be accessed by
the LD and ST instructions, transferring data between the 16 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, except USART registers. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by
using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the Instruction Set Summary section for more details.
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 '1' to them; this is described in the flag descriptions.
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 0x00-0x1F only.
The I/O and Peripherals Control Registers are explained in later sections.

Clock System

Clock Distribution
The following figure illustrates the principal clock systems in the device and their distribution. All 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 the section on Power
Management and Sleep Modes. The clock systems are detailed below.

Clock Subsystems
8.2.1.
CPU Clock – clkCPU
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 System Registers and the SRAM data memory.
Halting the CPU clock inhibits the core from performing general operations and calculations.
8.2.2.
I/O Clock – clkI/O
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counter. 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.

8.2.3.
NVM Clock – clkNVM
The NVM clock controls operation of the Non-Volatile Memory Controller. The NVM clock is usually active
simultaneously with the CPU clock.
8.2.4.
ADC Clock – clkADC
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.
The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
8.3.
Clock Sources
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Clock Main Select Bits in Clock Main
Settings Register (CLKMSR.CLKMS). All synchronous clock signals are derived from the main clock. The
three alternative sources for the main clock are as follows:
•
Calibrated Internal 8 MHz Oscillator
•
External Clock
•
Internal 128 kHz Oscillator.
Refer to description of Clock Main Select Bits in Clock Main Settings Register (CLKMSR.CLKMS) for how
to select and change the active clock source.

CLKMSR on page 36
8.3.1.
Calibrated Internal 8 MHz Oscillator
The calibrated internal oscillator provides an approximately 8 MHz clock signal. Though voltage and
temperature dependent, this clock can be very accurately calibrated by the user.
This clock may be selected as the main clock by setting the Clock Main Select bits in CLKMSR
(CLKMSR.CLKMS) to 0b00. Once enabled, the oscillator will operate with no external components.
During reset, hardware loads the calibration byte into the OSCCAL register and thereby automatically
calibrates the oscillator. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as Factory calibration in Accuracy of
Calibrated Internal Oscillator of Electrical Characteristics chapter.
When this oscillator is used as the main clock, the watchdog oscillator will still be used for the watchdog
timer and reset time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see section
Calibration Section.

External Clock
To drive the device from an external clock source, CLKI should be driven as shown in the Figure below.
To run the device on an external clock, the CLKMSR.CLKMS must be programmed to '0b10':

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 the
changes.

CLKMSR on page 36
8.3.3.
Internal 128 kHz Oscillator
The internal 128 kHz oscillator is a low power oscillator providing a clock of 128 kHz. The frequency
depends on supply voltage, temperature and batch variations. This clock may be select as the main clock
by setting the CLKMSR.CLKMS to 0b01.
Related Links
CLKMSR on page 36
8.3.4.
Switching Clock Source
The main clock source can be switched at run-time using the CLKMSR – Clock Main Settings Register.
When switching between any clock sources, the clock system ensures that no glitch occurs in the main
clock.
Related Links
CLKMSR on page 36
8.3.5.
Default Clock Source
The calibrated internal 8 MHz oscillator is always selected as main clock when the device is powered up
or has been reset. The synchronous system clock is the main clock divided by 8, controlled by the
System Clock Prescaler. The Clock Prescaler Select Bits in Clock Prescale Register (CLKPSR.CLKPS)
can be written later to change the system clock frequency. See section “System Clock Prescaler”.
Related Links
CLKMSR on page 36
8.4.
System Clock Prescaler
The system clock is derived from the main clock via the System Clock Prescaler. The system clock can
be divided by setting the “CLKPSR – Clock Prescale Register”. The system clock prescaler can be used
to decrease power consumption at times when requirements for processing power is low or to bring the
system clock within limits of maximum frequency. The prescaler can be used with all main clock source
options, and it will affect the clock frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals.
Atmel ATtiny4 / ATtiny5 / ATtiny9 / ATtiny10 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
33
The System Clock Prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of the internal clock frequency
while still ensuring stable operation.
8.4.1.
Switching Prescaler Setting
When switching between prescaler settings, the system clock prescaler ensures that no glitch occurs in
the system clock and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the clock frequency
corresponding the previous setting, nor the clock frequency corresponding to the new setting.
The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the main clock, which may be
faster than the CPU's clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the state of the prescaler even if it were readable, and the exact time it takes to switch from one clock division to another cannot be
exactly predicted.
From the time the CLKPSR.CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the
new clock frequency is active. In this interval, two active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the
previous clock period, and T2 is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.
8.5.
Starting
8.5.1.
Starting from Reset
The internal reset is immediately asserted when a reset source goes active. The internal reset is kept
asserted until the reset source is released and the start-up sequence is completed. The start-up
sequence includes three steps, as follows.
1. The first step after the reset source has been released consists of the device counting the reset
start-up time. The purpose of this reset start-up time is to ensure that supply voltage has reached
sufficient levels. The reset start-up time is counted using the internal 128 kHz oscillator.
Note: The actual supply voltage is not monitored by the start-up logic. The device will count until
the reset start-up time has elapsed even if the device has reached sufficient supply voltage levels
earlier.
2. The second step is to count the oscillator start-up time, which ensures that the calibrated internal
oscillator has reached a stable state before it is used by the other parts of the system. The
calibrated internal oscillator needs to oscillate for a minimum number of cycles before it can be
considered stable.
3. The last step before releasing the internal reset is to load the calibration and the configuration
values from the Non-Volatile Memory to configure the device properly. The configuration time is
listed in the next table.

8.5.2.
Starting from Power-Down Mode
When waking up from Power-Down sleep mode, the supply voltage is assumed to be at a sufficient level
and only the oscillator start-up time is counted to ensure the stable operation of the oscillator. The
oscillator start-up time is counted on the selected main clock, and the start-up time depends on the clock
selected.

Bits 7:0 – CAL[7:0]: 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 the table of
Calibration Accuracy of Internal RC Oscillator. The application software can write this register to change
the oscillator frequency. The oscillator can be calibrated to frequencies as specified in the table of
Calibration Accuracy of Internal RC Oscillator. Calibration outside that range is not guaranteed.
The CAL[7:0] 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 0xFF gives the highest frequency in the range.

At start-up, CLKPS bits are reset to 0b0011 to select the clock division factor of 8. If the selected clock
source has a frequency higher than the maximum allowed the application software must make sure a
sufficient division factor is used. To make sure the write procedure is not interrupted, interrupts must be
disabled when changing prescaler settings.

Power Management and Sleep Modes
9.1.
Overview
The high performance and industry leading code efficiency makes the AVR microcontrollers an ideal
choise for low power applications. In addition, sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused
modules in the MCU, thereby saving power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to
tailor the power consumption to the application’s requirements.
9.2.
Sleep Modes

Note: 1. For INT0, only level interrupt.
2. The ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
To enter any of the four sleep modes (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power-down or Standby), the Sleep
Enable bit in the Sleep Mode Control Register (SMCR.SE) must be written to '1' and a SLEEP instruction
must be executed. Sleep Mode Select bits (SMCR.SM) select which sleep mode will be activated by the
SLEEP instruction.
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then
halted for four cycles in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes
execution from the instruction following SLEEP. The contents of the Register File and SRAM are
unaltered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up
and executes from the Reset Vector.
Note: If a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up the changed level must be held for some time to
wake up the MCU (and for the MCU to enter the interrupt service routine). See External Interrupts for
details.

9.2.1.
Idle Mode
When the SMCR.SM is written to '0x000', the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle mode,
stopping the CPU but allowing the Analog Comparator, Timer/Counters, Watchdog, and the interrupt

system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkNVM, while allowing the other
clocks to run.
Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the
timer overflow. If wake-up from the Analog Comparator interrupt is not required, the Analog Comparator
can be powered down by setting the ACD bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register
(ACSR.ACD). This will reduce power consumption in Idle mode. If the ADC is enabled (ATtiny5/10, only),
a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.

ACSR on page 121
SMCR on page 44
9.2.2.
ADC Noise Reduction Mode
When the SMCR.SM is written to '0x001', the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter ADC Noise
Reduction mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the external interrupts and the Watchdog to
continue operating (if enabled). This sleep mode basically halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkNVM, while allowing
the other clocks to run.
This improves the noise environment for the ADC, enabling higher resolution measurements. If the ADC
is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.
This mode is available in all devices, although only ATtiny5/10 are equipped with an ADC.
Related Links
SMCR on page 44
9.2.3.
Power-Down Mode
When the SMCR.SM is written to '0x010', the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Power-Down
mode. In this mode, the external Oscillator is stopped, while the external interrupts and the Watchdog
continue operating (if enabled).
Only an these events can wake up the MCU:
•
Watchdog System Reset
•
External level interrupt on INT0
•
Pin change interrupt
This sleep mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only.
Related Links
SMCR on page 44
9.2.4.
Standby Mode
When the SMCR.SM is written to '0x100', the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Standby mode.
This mode is identical to Power-Down with the exception that the Oscillator is kept running. This reduces
wake-up time, because the oscillator is already running and doesn't need to be started up.
Related Links
SMCR on page 44
9.3.
Power Reduction Register
The Power Reduction Register (PRR) provides a method to stop the clock to individual peripherals to
reduce power consumption. When the clock for a peripheral is stopped then:

•
•
•
The current state of the peripheral is frozen.
The associated registers can not be read or written.
Resources used by the peripheral will remain occupied.
The peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the clock. Clearing the PRR bit wakes
up the peripheral and puts it in the same state as before shutdown.
Peripheral module shutdown can be used in Idle mode and Active mode to significantly reduce the overall
power consumption. In all other sleep modes, the clock is already stopped.

PRR on page 45
9.4.
Minimizing Power Consumption
There are several possibilities to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in an AVR
controlled system. In general, sleep modes should be used as much as possible, and the sleep mode
should be selected so that as few as possible of the device’s functions are operating. All functions not
needed should be disabled. In particular, the following modules may need special consideration when
trying to achieve the lowest possible power consumption.
9.4.1.
Analog Comparator
When entering Idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not used. In the power-down
mode, the analog comparator is automatically disabled. See Analog Comparator for further details.
Related Links
Analog Comparator on page 120
9.4.2.
Analog to Digital Converter
If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the ADC should be disabled
before entering any sleep mode. When the ADC is turned off and on again, the next conversion will be an
extended conversion.
Related Links
ADC - Analog to Digital Converter on page 124
9.4.3.
Watchdog Timer
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, the module should be turned off. If the Watchdog
Timer is enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes and hence always consume power. In the deeper
sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current consumption.
Related Links
Watchdog Timer on page 49
9.4.4.
Port Pins
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The most
important is then to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where both the I/O clock
(clkI/O) is stopped, the input buffers of the device will be disabled. This ensures that no power is
consumed by the input logic when not needed. In some cases, the input logic is needed for detecting
wake-up conditions, and it will then be enabled. Refer to the section Digital Input Enable and Sleep
Modes for details on which pins are enabled. If the input buffer is enabled and the input signal is left
floating or have an analog signal level close to VCC/2, the input buffer will use excessive power.

For analog input pins, the digital input buffer should be disabled at all times. An analog signal level close
to VCC/2 on an input pin can cause significant current even in active mode. Digital input buffers can be
disabled by writing to the Digital Input Disable Registers (DIDR).

Bit 0 – SE: Sleep Enable
The SE bit must be written to logic 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 programmer’s purpose,
it is recommended to write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP
instruction and to clear it immediately after waking up.

System Control and Reset

Resetting the AVR
During reset, all I/O Registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from the
Reset Vector. The instruction placed at the Reset Vector must be an Relative Jump instruction (RJMP) 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 the next shows
the reset logic. Electrical parameters of the reset circuitry are defined in section System and Reset
Characteristics.

The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This
does not require any clock source to be running.
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This
allows the power to reach a stable level before normal operation starts.

Reset Sources
The device has four sources of reset:
•
•
Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is less than the Power-on Reset
threshold (VPOT).
External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for longer than the
minimum pulse length.

Watchdog System Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and the
Watchdog System Reset mode is enabled.
Power-on Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated
whenever VCC is below the detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the start-up Reset, as
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 the delay counter, which determines how long the device is kept in Reset
after VCC rise. The Reset signal is activated again, without any delay, when VCC decreases below the
detection level.

VCC Level Monitoring
ATtiny4/5/9/10 have a VCC Level Monitoring (VLM) circuit that compares the voltage level at the VCC pin
against fixed trigger levels. The trigger levels are set with VLM[2:0] bits, see VLMCSR – VCC Level
Monitoring Control and Status register.
The VLM circuit provides a status flag, VLMF, that indicates if voltage on the VCC pin is below the
selected trigger level. The flag can be read from VLMCSR, but it is also possible to have an interrupt
generated when the VLMF status flag is set. This interrupt is enabled by the VLMIE bit in the VLMCSR
register. The flag can be cleared by changing the trigger level or by writing it to zero. The flag is
automatically cleared when the voltage at VCC rises back above the selected trigger level.

Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
47
The VLM can also be used to improve reset characteristics at falling supply. Without VLM, the Power-On
Reset (POR) does not activate before supply voltage has dropped to a level where the MCU is not
necessarily functional any more. With VLM, it is possible to generate a reset earlier.
When active, the VLM circuit consumes some power, as illustrated in the figure of VCC Level Monitor
Current vs. VCC in Typical Characteristics. To save power the VLM circuit can be turned off completely, or
it can be switched on and off at regular intervals. However, detection takes some time and it is therefore
recommended to leave the circuitry on long enough for signals to settle. See VCC Level Monitor.
When VLM is active and voltage at VCC is above the selected trigger level operation will be as normal and
the VLM can be shut down for a short period of time. If voltage at VCC drops below the selected threshold
the VLM will either flag an interrupt or generate a reset, depending on the configuration.
When the VLM has been configured to generate a reset at low supply voltage it will keep the device in
reset as long as VCC is below the reset level. If supply voltage rises above the reset level the condition is
removed and the MCU will come out of reset, and initiate the power-up start-up sequence.
If supply voltage drops enough to trigger the POR then PORF is set after supply voltage has been
restored.

External Reset
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer than the minimum
pulse width 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 (VRST) on its positive
edge, the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-out period (tTOUT ) has expired. The External Reset
can be disabled by the RSTDISBL fuse.

Watchdog System Reset
When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle duration. On the falling
edge of this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the Time-out period tTOUT.

Watchdog Timer
If the watchdog timer is not needed in the application, the module should be turned off. If the watchdog
timer is enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes and hence always consume power. In the deeper
sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current consumption.
Refer to Watchdog System Reset on page 48 for details on how to configure the watchdog timer.
Overview
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from an on-chip oscillator, which runs at 128 kHz, as the next figure. By
controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted. The Watchdog
Reset (WDR) instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is
disabled and when a device reset occurs. Ten different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine
the reset period. If the reset period expires without another Watchdog Reset, the device resets and
executes from the Reset Vector.

The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can be very
helpful when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period, two
different safety levels are selected by the fuse WDTON. See Procedure for Changing the Watchdog Timer
Configuration on page 50 for details.

Procedure for Changing the Watchdog Timer Configuration
The sequence for changing configuration differs between the two safety levels, as follows:
10.3.2.1. Safety Level 1
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the WDE bit to one
without any restriction. A special sequence is needed when disabling an enabled Watchdog Timer. To
disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O registers to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, in the same operation, write WDE and WDP bits
10.3.2.2. Safety Level 2
In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read as one. A
protected change is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To change the Watchdog
Time-out, the following procedure must be followed:
1. Write the signature for change enable of protected I/O registers to register CCP
2. Within four instruction cycles, write the WDP bit. The value written to WDE is irrelevant
10.3.3.
Code Examples
The following code example shows how to turn off the WDT. The example assumes that interrupts are
controlled (e.g., by disabling interrupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during execution of these
functions.

Bit 7 – WDIF: Watchdog Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when a time-out occurs in the Watchdog Timer and the Watchdog Timer is configured for
interrupt. WDIF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector.
Alternatively, WDIF is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG and WDIE are set,
the Watchdog Time-out Interrupt is executed.
Bit 6 – WDIE: Watchdog Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Watchdog Interrupt is
enabled. If WDE is cleared in combination with this setting, the Watchdog Timer is in Interrupt Mode, and
the corresponding interrupt is executed if time-out in the Watchdog Timer occurs. If WDE is set, the
Watchdog Timer is in Interrupt and System Reset Mode. The first time-out in the Watchdog Timer will set
WDIF. Executing the corresponding interrupt vector will clear WDIE and WDIF automatically by hardware
(the Watchdog goes to System Reset Mode).
This is useful for keeping the Watchdog Timer security while using the interrupt. To stay in Interrupt and
System Reset Mode, WDIE must be set after each interrupt. This should however not be done within the
interrupt service routine itself, as this might compromise the safety-function of the Watchdog System
Reset mode. If the interrupt is not executed before the next time-out, a System Reset will be applied.

WDE is overridden by WDRF in RSTFLR. This means that WDE is always set when WDRF is set. To
clear WDE, WDRF must be cleared first. This feature ensures multiple resets during conditions causing
failure, and a safe start-up after the failure.

; Enable interrupts
External Interrupts
The External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0 pins or any of the PCINT[3:0] pins. Observe that, if
enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0 or PCINT[3:0] pins are configured as outputs. This
feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. The pin change interrupt PCI0 will trigger if any
enabled PCINT[3:0] pin toggles. The Pin Change Mask 0/1 Register (PCMSK 0/1) controls which pins
contribute to the pin change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT[3:0] are detected asynchronously.
This implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle
mode.
The INT0 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 External Interrupt Control Register A (EICRA). When the INT0 interrupts are
enabled and are configured as level triggered, the interrupts will trigger as long as the pin is held low.
Note that recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 requires the presence of an I/O clock,
described in Clock Systems and their Distribution chapter.

11.3.1.
Low Level Interrupt
A low level interrupt on INT0 is detected asynchronously. This means that the interrupt source can be
used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle (the I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes
except Idle).

57
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level must be
held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If the level
disappears before the end of the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be
generated. The start-up time is defined as described in Clock System
If the low level on the interrupt pin is removed before the device has woken up then program execution
will not be diverted to the interrupt service routine but continue from the instruction following the SLEEP
command.

Bit 0 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable
When the INT0 bit is set ('1') and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set ('1'), the external pin
interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control 0 bits in the External Interrupt Control Register A
(EICRA.ISC0) define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising and/or falling edge of the INT0
pin or 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 the INT0 Interrupt
Vector.

I/O-Ports
12.1.
Overview
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This
means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of
any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if
configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). Each output buffer
has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. The pin driver is strong
enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors with a
supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as
indicated in the following figure.

See Figure
"General Digital I/O" for
Details
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the
numbering letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the
register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in
Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn.
Four I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register – PORTx,
Data Direction Register – DDRx, Pull-up Enable Register – PUEx, and the Port Input Pins – PINx. The
Port Input Pins I/O location is read only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read/
write. However, writing '1' to a bit in the PINx Register will result in a toggle in the corresponding bit in the
Data Register. In addition, the Pull-up Disable – PUD bit in MCUCR disables the pull-up function for all
pins in all ports when set.
Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described in next section. Most port pins are multiplexed with
alternate functions for the peripheral features on the device. How each alternate function interferes with
the port pin is described in Alternate Port Functions section in this chapter. Refer to the individual module
sections for a full description of the alternate functions.
Enabling the alternate function of some of the port pins does not affect the use of the other pins in the
port as general digital I/O.

12.2.1.
Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of four register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, PUExn, and PINxn. As shown in the Register
Description in this chapter, the DDxn bits are accessed at the DDRx I/O address, the PORTxn bits at the
PORTx I/O address, and the PINxn bits at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written to '1', Pxn is
configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written to '0', Pxn is configured as an input pin.
Atmel ATtiny4 / ATtiny5 / ATtiny9 / ATtiny10 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
66
If PORTxn is written to '1' when the pin is configured as an input pin, the pull-up resistor is activated. To
switch the pull-up resistor off, PORTxn has to be written to '0' or the pin has to be configured as an output
pin. The port pins are tri-stated when reset condition becomes active, even if no clocks are running.

12.2.2.
Toggling the Pin
Writing a '1' to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn. The SBI
instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
12.2.3.
Break-Before-Make Switching
In Break-Before-Make mode, switching the DDRxn bit from input to output introduces an immediate tristate period lasting one system clock cycle, as indicated in the figure below. For example, if the system
clock is 4 MHz and the DDRxn is written to make an output, an immediate tri-state period of 250 ns is
introduced before the value of PORTxn is seen on the port pin.
To avoid glitches it is recommended that the maximum DDRxn toggle frequency is two system clock
cycles. The Break-Before-Make mode applies to the entire port and it is activated by the BBMx bit. For
more details, see PORTCR – Port Control Register.
When switching the DDRxn bit from output to input no immediate tri-state period is introduced.

Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the PINxn
Register bit. As shown in Figure 12-2 General Digital I/O on page 66, the PINxn Register bit and the
preceding latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin changes
value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. The following figure shows a
timing diagram of the synchronization when reading an externally applied pin value. The maximum and
minimum propagation delays are denoted tpd,max and tpd,min respectively.

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch is
closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the shaded
region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock goes low. It is
clocked into the PINxn Register at the succeeding positive clock edge. As indicated by the two arrows
tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal transition on the pin will be delayed between ½ and 1½ system clock
period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated in the
following figure. The out instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of the clock. In
this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is 1 system clock period.

Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in the figure of General Digital I/O, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the input
of the Schmitt Trigger. The signal denoted SLEEP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sleep Controller in
Power-down mode and Standby mode to avoid high power consumption if some input signals are left
floating, or have an analog signal level close to VCC/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as external interrupt pins. If the external interrupt request is not
enabled, SLEEP is active also for these pins. SLEEP is also overridden by various other alternate
functions as described in Alternate Port Functions section in this chapter.
If a logic high level is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as “Interrupt on Rising
Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interrupt is not enabled, the
corresponding External Interrupt Flag will be set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode,
as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested logic change.
12.2.6.
Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even though
most of the digital inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating inputs should
be avoided to reduce current consumption in all other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (Reset,
Active mode and Idle mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up. In this
case, the pull-up will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is important, it is
recommended to use an external pull-up or pull-down. Connecting unused pins directly to VCC or GND is
not recommended, since this may cause excessive currents if the pin is accidentally configured as an
output.
12.2.7.
Program Example
The following code example shows how to set port B pin 0 high, pin 1 low, and define the port pins from 2
to 3 as input with a pull-up assigned to port pin 2. The resulting pin values are read back again, but as
previously discussed, a nop instruction is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to
some of the pins.

Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. The following figure
shows how the port pin control signals from the simplified in the figure of Ports as General Digital I/O can
be overridden by alternate functions. The overriding signals may not be present in all port pins, but the
figure serves as a generic description applicable to all port pins in the AVR microcontroller family.

generation, and signal timing measurement.
A block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown below. CPU accessible I/O Registers, including I/O
bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations are listed in
Register Description on page 102. For the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to the Pin Configurations
description.
The Power Reduction TC0 bit in the Power Reduction Register (PRR.PRTIM0) must be written to zero to

Definitions
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form:
•
n represents the Timer/Counter number
•
x=A,B represents the Output Compare Unit A or B
However, when using the register or bit definitions in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e.,
TCNT0 for accessing Timer/Counter0 counter value.
The following definitions are used throughout the section:
Table 13-1 Definitions
Constant Description
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x0 for 8-bit counters, or 0x00 for
16-bit counters).
MAX
The counter reaches its Maximum when it becomes 0xF (decimal 15, for 8-bit counters) or
0xFF (decimal 255, for 16-bit counters).
TOP
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count
sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value MAX or the value stored in
the OCR0A Register. The assignment is dependent on the mode of operation.

13.2.2.
Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT0), Output Compare Registers (OCR0A/B), and Input Capture Register (ICR0)
are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-bit registers. These
procedures are described in section Accessing 16-bit Registers.
The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCR0A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU access
restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the block diagram) signals are all visible in the
Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR0). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask
Register (TIMSK0). TIFR0 and TIMSK0 are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T0
pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter uses to
increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The
output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT0).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR0A/B) are compared with the Timer/Counter value
at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to generate a PWM or
variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OC0A/B). See Output Compare Units. The
compare match event will also set the Compare Match Flag (OCF0A/B) which can be used to generate
an Output Compare interrupt request.
The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered)
event on either the Input Capture pin (ICP0) or on the Analog Comparator pins. The Input Capture unit
includes a digital filtering unit (Noise Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined by either
the OCR0A Register, the ICR0 Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using OCR0A as TOP value in
a PWM mode, the OCR0A Register can not be used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP
value will in this case be double buffered allowing the TOP value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP
value is required, the ICR0 Register can be used as an alternative, freeing the OCR0A to be used as
PWM output.

Accessing 16-bit Registers
The TCNT0, OCR0A/B, and ICR0 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via the 8-bit
data bus. The 16-bit register must be accessed byte-wise, using two read or write operations. Each 16-bit
Atmel ATtiny4 / ATtiny5 / ATtiny9 / ATtiny10 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8127G-ATiny4/ ATiny5/ ATiny9/ ATiny10_Datasheet_Complete-09/2015
83
timer has a single 8-bit TEMP register for temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit access. The
same temporary register is shared between all 16-bit registers within each 16-bit timer.
Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation: When the low byte of a 16-bit register is
written by the CPU, the high byte that is currently stored in TEMP and the low byte being written are both
copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is read by
the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the TEMP register in the same clock cycle as
the low byte is read, and must be read subsequently.
Note: To perform a 16-bit write operation, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit
read, the low byte must be read before the high byte.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the OCR0A/B 16-bit
registers does not involve using the temporary register.
16-bit Access
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit Timer Registers assuming that no interrupts
updates the temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing the OCR0A/B and
ICR0 Registers. Note that when using C, the compiler handles the 16-bit access.
Assembly Code Example
...
; Set TCNT0 to 0x01FF
ldi
r17,0x01
ldi
r16,0xFF
out
TCNT0H,r17
out
TCNT0L,r16
; Read TCNT0 into r17:r16
in
r16,TCNT0L
in
r17,TCNT0H
...
The assembly code example returns the TCNT0 value in the r17:r16 register pair.
C Code Example
unsigned int i;
...
/* Set TCNT0 to 0x01FF */
TCNT0 = 0x1FF;
/* Read TCNT0 into i */
i = TCNT0;
...
Atomic Read
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt occurs
between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code updates the temporary
register by accessing the same or any other of the 16-bit Timer Registers, then the result of the access
outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when both the main code and the interrupt code update
the temporary register, the main code must disable the interrupts during the 16-bit access.
The following code examples show how to perform an atomic read of the TCNT0 Register contents. A
OCR0A/B or ICR0 Registers can be ready by using the same principle.

sreg = SREG;
/* Disable interrupts */
_CLI();
/* Read TCNT0 into i */
i = TCNT0;
/* Restore global interrupt flag */
SREG = sreg;
return i;
}
Atomic Write
The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNT0 Register contents. Writing
any of the OCR0A/B or ICR0 Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Assembly Code Example
TIM16_WriteTCNT0:
; Save global interrupt flag

cli
; Set TCNT0 to r17:r16
out

be written to TCNT0.

{

SREG = sreg;
13.3.1.
Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written, the high
byte only needs to be written once to TEMP. However, the same rule of atomic operation described
previously also applies in this case.
13.4.
Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is
selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select bits in the Timer/Counter control
Register B (TCCR0B.CS0[2:0]).
13.4.1.
Internal Clock Source - Prescaler
The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the TCCR0B.CS0[2:0]=0x1).
This provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency equal to system clock
frequency (fCLK_I/O). Alternatively, one of four taps from the prescaler can be used as a clock source. The
prescaled clock has a frequency of either fCLK_I/O/8, fCLK_I/O/64, fCLK_I/O/256, or fCLK_I/O/1024.

13.4.2.
Prescaler Reset
The prescaler is free running, i.e., operates independently of the Clock Select logic of the Timer/Counter,
and it is shared by Timer/Counter 0 (T0). Since the prescaler is not affected by the Timer/Counter’s clock
select, the state of the prescaler will have implications for situations where a prescaled clock is used. One
example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the timer is enabled and clocked by the prescaler
(TCCR0B.CS0[2:0] = 2, 3, 4, or 5). The number of system clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to
the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8,
64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler also uses
prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is connected to.
13.4.3.
External Clock Source
An external clock source applied to the T0 pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clkT0). The T0 pin is
sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized (sampled)
signal is then passed through the edge detector. See also the block diagram of the T0 synchronization
and edge detector logic below. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock
(clkI/O). The latch is transparent in the high period of the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT0 pulse for each positive (CS0[2:0]=0x7) or negative (CS0[2:0]=0x6)
edge it detects.

Note: The “n” indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0)
The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles from an
edge has been applied to the T0 pin to the counter is updated.
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T0 has been stable for at least one system
clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to ensure
correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system clock
frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50% duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses sampling, the
maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the sampling frequency (Nyquist sampling
theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency and duty cycle caused by the
tolerances of the oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors), it is recommended that maximum
frequency of an external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

Counter Unit
The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit, as shown
in the block diagram:

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: Counter High (TCNT0H) containing the
upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNT0L) containing the lower eight bits. The TCNT0H
Register can only be accessed indirectly by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNT0H I/O
location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register (TEMP). The temporary register is updated
with the TCNT0H value when the TCNT0L is read, and TCNT0H is updated with the temporary register
value when TCNT0L is written. This allows the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within
one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus.
Note: That there are special cases when writing to the TCNT0 Register while the counter is counting will
give unpredictable results. These special cases are described in the sections where they are of
importance.
Depending on the selected mode of operation, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at
each timer clock (clkT0). The clock clkT0 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, as
selected by the Clock Select bits in the Timer/Counter0 Control Register B (TCCR0B.CS0[2:0]). When no
clock source is selected (CS0[2:0]=0x0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT0 value can be
accessed by the CPU, independent of whether clkT0 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (i.e., has
priority over) all counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits in the Timer/
Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR0B.WGM0[3:2] and TCCR0A.WGM0[1:0]). There are close
connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output
Compare outputs OC0x. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation,
see Modes of Operation on page 93.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag in the TC0 Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR0.TOV0) is set according to the
mode of operation selected by the WGM0[3:0] bits. TOV0 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

13.6.
Input Capture Unit
The Timer/Counter0 incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give them a
time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple events, can
be applied via the ICP0 pin or alternatively, via the analog-comparator unit. The time-stamps can then be
used to calculate frequency, duty-cycle, and other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the timestamps can be used for creating a log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram below. The elements of the block diagram that
are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded. The lower case “n” in register and bit
names indicates the Timer/Counter number.

Note: The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0), and
the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
Note: Analog comparator can be used for only Timer/Counter0 and not applicable for Timer/Counter3 or
Timer/Counter4.
When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture pin (ICP0), or alternatively on the
Analog Comparator output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge detector, a capture
will be triggered: the 16-bit value of the counter (TCNT0) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICR0).
The Input Capture Flag (ICF0) is set at the same system clock cycle as the TCNT0 value is copied into
the ICR0 Register. If enabled (TIMSK0.ICIE0=1), the Input Capture Flag generates an Input Capture
interrupt. The ICF0 Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF0
Flag can be cleared by software by writing '1' to its I/O bit location.
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Capture Register (ICR0) is done by first reading the low byte
(ICR0L) and then the high byte (ICR0H). When the low byte is read form ICR0L, the high byte is copied
into the high byte temporary register (TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICR0H I/O location it will access
the TEMP Register.
The ICR0 Register can only be written when using a Waveform Generation mode that utilizes the ICR0
Register for defining the counter’s TOP value. In these cases the Waveform Generation mode bits
(WGM0[3:0]) must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICR0 Register. When writing the
ICR0 Register, the high byte must be written to the ICR0H I/O location before the low byte is written to
ICR0L.

13.6.1.
Input Capture Trigger Source
The main trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture pin (ICP0). Timer/Counter0 can
alternatively use the Analog Comparator output as trigger source for the Input Capture unit. The Analog
Comparator is selected as trigger source by setting the Analog Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in
the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register (ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can
trigger a capture. The Input Capture Flag must therefore be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture pin (ICP0) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled using the
same technique as for the T0 pin. The edge detector is also identical. However, when the noise canceler
is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the edge detector, which increases the delay by four system
clock cycles. The input of the noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the Timer/
Counter is set in a Waveform Generation mode that uses ICR0 to define TOP.
An Input Capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP0 pin.

13.6.2.
Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The noise
canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the output that in
turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler bit in the Timer/Counter
Control Register B (TCCR0B.ICNC0). When enabled, the noise canceler introduces an additional delay of
four system clock cycles between a change applied to the input and the update of the ICR0 Register. The
noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the prescaler.
13.6.3.
Using the Input Capture Unit
The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity for
handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has not read the
captured value in the ICR0 Register before the next event occurs, the ICR0 will be overwritten with a new
value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICR0 Register should be read as early in the interrupt handler
routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has relatively high priority, the maximum
interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of
the other interrupt requests.
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is actively
changed during operation, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after each
capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR0 Register has been
read. After a change of the edge, the Input Capture Flag (ICF0) must be cleared by software (writing a
logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only, the clearing of the ICF0 Flag is not
required (if an interrupt handler is used).
13.7.
Output Compare Units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the Output Compare Register (OCR0x). If
TCNT equals OCR0x the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag

(OCF0x) at the next timer clock cycle. If enabled (TIMSK0.OCIE0x = 1), the Output Compare Flag
generates an Output Compare interrupt. The OCF0x Flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is
executed. Alternatively the OCF0x Flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit
location. The Waveform Generator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating
mode set by the Waveform Generation mode (WGM0[3:0]) bits and Compare Output mode (COM0x[1:0])
bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special cases
of the extreme values in some modes of operation, see Modes of Operation on page 93.
A special feature of Output Compare unit A allows it to define the Timer/Counter TOP value (i.e., counter
resolution). In addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period time for waveforms
generated by the Waveform Generator.
Below is a block diagram of the Output Compare unit. The elements of the block diagram that are not
directly a part of the Output Compare unit are gray shaded.

the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
The OCR0x Register is double buffered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modes. For the Normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is
disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR0x Compare Register to either TOP or
BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, nonsymmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
When double buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR0x Buffer Register. When double
buffering is disabled, the CPU will access the OCR0x directly.
The content of the OCR0x (Buffer or Compare) Register is only changed by a write operation (the Timer/
Counter does not update this register automatically as the TCNT0 and ICR0 Register). Therefore OCR0x
is not read via the high byte temporary register (TEMP). However, it is good practice to read the low byte
first as when accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the OCR0x Registers must be done via the TEMP
Register since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte (OCR0xH) has to be written
first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be updated by the

91
value written. Then when the low byte (OCR0xL) is written to the lower eight bits, the high byte will be
copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCR0x buffer or OCR0x Compare Register in the same system
clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Accessing 16-bit Registers on page 83.
13.7.1.
Force Output Compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by writing a
'1' to the Force Output Compare (TCCR0C.FOC0x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the OCF0x
Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC0x pin will be updated as if a real compare match had occurred
(the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits define whether the OC0x pin is set, cleared or toggled).
13.7.2.
Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any compare match that occur in the next timer
clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0x to be initialized to the same value
as TCNT0 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
13.7.3.
Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle,
there are risks involved when changing TCNT0 when using the Output Compare Unit, independently of
whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT0 equals the OCR0x value, the
compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Similarly, do not write the
TCNT0 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down counting.
The setup of the OC0x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port pin to
output. The easiest way of setting the OC0x value is to use the Force Output Compare (FOC0x) strobe
bits in Normal mode. The OC0x Registers keep their values even when changing between Waveform
Generation modes.
Be aware that the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits are not double buffered together with the compare value.
Changing the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits will take effect immediately.
13.8.
Compare Match Output Unit
The Compare Output mode bits in the Timer/Counter Control Register A (TCCR0A.COM0x) have two
functions:
•
•
The Waveform Generator uses the COM0x bits for defining the Output Compare (OC0x) register
state at the next compare match.
The COM0x bits control the OC0x pin output source
The figure below shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by COM0x. The I/O Registers, I/O
bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O port control registers
that are affected by the COM0x bits are shown, namely PORT and DDR.
On system reset the OC0x Register is reset to 0x00.
Note: 'OC0x state' is always referring to internal OC0x registers, not the OC0x pin.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC0x) from the Waveform Generator
if either of the COM0x[1:0] bits are set. However, the OC0x pin direction (input or output) is still controlled
by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The In the Data Direction Register, the bit for the
OC0x pin (DDR.OC0x) must be set as output before the OC0x value is visible on the pin. The port
override function is independent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC0x register state before the
output is enabled. Some TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation.
The TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.
13.8.1.
Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The Waveform Generator uses the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits differently in Normal, CTC, and PWM
modes. For all modes, setting the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0]=0x0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action
on the OC0x Register is to be performed on the next compare match. Refer also to the descriptions of the
output modes.
A change of the TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits
are written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the
TCCR0C.FOC0x strobe bits.
13.9.
Modes of Operation
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare pins, is defined
by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM0[3:0]) and Compare Output mode
(TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0]) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence, while
the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits control whether the PWM output
generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the
TCCR0A.COM0x[1:0] bits control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggle at a compare
match.

13.9.1.
Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM0[3:0]=0x0). In this mode the counting
direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns
when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX=0xFFFF) and then restarts from BOTTOM=0x0000. In
normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the
TCNT0 becomes zero. In this case, the TOV0 Flag in behaves like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not
cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0 Flag, the
timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to consider in the Normal
mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maximum interval
between the external events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval between events
are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to extend the resolution for the
capture unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output
Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of
the CPU time.
13.9.2.
Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC modes (mode 4 or 12, WGM0[3:0]=0x4 or 0xC), the OCR0A or ICRn
registers are used to manipulate the counter resolution: the counter is cleared to ZERO when the counter
value (TCNT0) matches either the OCR0A (if WGM0[3:0]=0x4) or the ICR0 (WGM0[3:0]=0xC). The
OCR0A or ICR0 define the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater
control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external
events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown below. The counter value (TCNT0) increases until a
compare match occurs with either OCR0A or ICR0, and then TCNT0 is cleared.

An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either using the
OCF0A or ICF0 Flag, depending on the actual CTC mode. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler
routine can be used for updating the TOP value.
Note: Changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM while the counter is running must be done with care,
since the CTC mode does not provide double buffering. If the new value written to OCR0A is lower than
the current value of TCNT0, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then count to its
maximum value (0xFF for a 8-bit counter, 0xFFFF for a 16-bit counter) and wrap around starting at 0x00
before the compare match will occur.

In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the Fast PWM mode using
OCR0A for defining TOP (WGM0[3:0]=0xF), since the OCR0A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC0A output can be set to toggle its logical level on
each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode (COM0A[1:0]=0x1). The
OC0A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output
(DDR_OC0A=1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC0A = fclk_I/O/2 when
OCR0A is set to ZERO (0x0000). The waveform frequency is defined by the following equation:
�OCnA =
�clk_I/O
2 ⋅ � ⋅ 1 + OCRnA
Note: •
The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0).
•
N represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the Timer Counter TOV0 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle
that the counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
13.9.3.
Fast PWM Mode
The Fast Pulse Width Modulation or Fast PWM modes (modes 5, 6, 7, 14,and 15, WGM0[3:0]= 0x5, 0x6,
0x7, 0xE, 0xF) provide a high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The Fast PWM differs from
the other PWM options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then
restarts from BOTTOM.
In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0x) is cleared on the compare match
between TCNT0 and OCR0x, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting Compare Output mode output is set on
compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of
the Fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM
modes that use dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the Fast PWM mode well suited for
power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small sized
external components (coils, capacitors), hence reduces total system cost.
The PWM resolution for Fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR0 or OCR0A.
The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A register set to 0x0003), and the maximum
resolution is 16-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A registers set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated
by using the following equation:
�FPWM =
log TOP+1
log 2
In Fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed
values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM0[3:0] = 0x5, 0x6, or 0x7), the value in ICR0 (WGM0[3:0]=0xE),
or the value in OCR0A (WGM0[3:0]=0xF). The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle.
The timing diagram for the Fast PWM mode using OCR0A or ICR0 to define TOP is shown below. The
TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The
diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal lines on the TCNT0
slopes mark compare matches between OCR0x and TCNT0. The OC0x Interrupt Flag will be set when a
compare match occurs.

Note: The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0), and
the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition, when
either OCR0A or ICR0 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC0A or ICF0 Flag is set at the same timer
clock cycle TOV0 is set. If one of the interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for
updating the TOP and compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the
value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a
compare match will never occur between the TCNT0 and the OCR0x. Note that when using fixed TOP
values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the OCR0x Registers are written.
The procedure for updating ICR0 differs from updating OCR0A when used for defining the TOP value.
The ICR0 Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICR0 is changed to a low value when the
counter is running with none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new ICR0 value written is
lower than the current value of TCNT0. As result, the counter will miss the compare match at the TOP
value. The counter will then have to count to the MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at
0x0000 before the compare match can occur. The OCR0A Register however, is double buffered. This
feature allows the OCR0A I/O location to be written anytime. When the OCR0A I/O location is written the
value written will be put into the OCR0A Buffer Register. The OCR0A Compare Register will then be
updated with the value in the Buffer Register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNT0 matches TOP. The
update is done at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 is cleared and the TOV0 Flag is set.
Using the ICR0 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR0, the
OCR0A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC0A. However, if the base PWM
frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCR0A as TOP is clearly a better
choice due to its double buffer feature.
In Fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0x pins. Writing
the COM0x[1:0] bits to 0x2 will produce an inverted PWM and a non-inverted PWM output can be
generated by writing the COM0x[1:0] to 0x3. The actual OC0x value will only be visible on the port pin if
the data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC0x). The PWM waveform is generated by
setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at the compare match between OCR0x and TCNT0, and clearing
(or setting) the OC0x Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to
BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:

Note: •
The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0), and
the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
•
N represents the prescale divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0x registers represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform
output in the Fast PWM mode. If the OCR0x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output will be a narrow
spike for each TOP+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR0x equal to TOP will result in a constant high or
low output (depending on the polarity of the output which is controlled by COM0x[1:0]).
A frequency waveform output with 50% duty cycle can be achieved in Fast PWM mode by selecting
OC0A to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM0A[1:0]=0x1). This applies only if OCR0A is
used to define the TOP value (WGM0[3:0]=0xF). The waveform generated will have a maximum
frequency of fOC0A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0A is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is similar to the OC0A
toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the Fast
PWM mode.
13.9.4.
Phase Correct PWM Mode
The Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulation or Phase Correct PWM modes (WGM0[3:0]= 0x1, 0x2, 0x3,
0xA, and 0xB) provide a high resolution, phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The Phase
Correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope
operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to
BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0x) is cleared on the
compare match between TCNT0 and OCR0x while up-counting, and set on the compare match while
down-counting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation
has lower maximum operation frequency than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric
feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the Phase Correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by
either ICR0 or OCR0A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A set to 0x0003), and the
maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated
by using the following equation:
�PCPWM =
log TOP+1
log 2
In Phase Correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the
fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM0[3:0]= 0x1, 0x2, or 0x3), the value in ICR0
(WGM0[3:0]=0xA), or the value in OCR0A (WGM0[3:0]=0xB). The counter has then reached the TOP and
changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing
diagram for the Phase Correct PWM mode is shown below, using OCR0A or ICR0 to define TOP. The
TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The
diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal lines on the TCNT0
slopes mark compare matches between OCR0x and TCNT0. The OC0x Interrupt Flag will be set when a
compare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When either
OCR0A or ICR0 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC0A or ICF0 Flag is set accordingly at the same
timer clock cycle as the OCR0x Registers are updated with the double buffer value (at TOP). The
Interrupt Flags can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM
value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the
value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a
compare match will never occur between the TCNT0 and the OCR0x. Note that when using fixed TOP
values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the OCR0x registers is written. As illustrated by
the third period in the timing diagram, changing the TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the
phase correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in the time of
update of the OCR0x Register. Since the OCR0x update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends
at TOP. This implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the
length of the rising slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the two
slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in length gives the unsymmetrical result on the
output.
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase correct mode when
changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static TOP value, there are
practically no differences between the two modes of operation.
In Phase Correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0x pins.
Writing COM0x[1:0] bits to 0x2 will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM output can be
generated by writing the COM0x[1:0] to 0x3. The actual OC0x value will only be visible on the port pin if
the data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC0x). The PWM waveform is generated by
setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at the compare match between OCR0x and TCNT0 when the
counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC0x Register at compare match between OCR0x and
TCNT0 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using Phase Correct
PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
�OCnxPCPWM =
�clk_I/O
2 ⋅ � ⋅ TOP
N represents the prescale divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).

The extreme values for the OCR0x Register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform
output in the Phase Correct PWM mode. If the OCR0x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be
continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode.
For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If OCR0A is used to define the TOP
value (WGM0[3:0]=0xB) and COM0A[1:0]=0x1, the OC0A output will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.
13.9.5.
Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode
The phase and frequency correct Pulse Width Modulation, or phase and frequency correct PWM mode
(WGM0[3:0] = 0x8 or 0x9) provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform
generation option. The phase and frequency correct PWM mode is, like the phase correct PWM mode,
based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and
then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Compare (OC0x) is
cleared on the compare match between TCNT0 and OCR0x while up-counting, and set on the compare
match while down-counting. In inverting Compare Output mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope
operation gives a lower maximum operation frequency compared to the single-slope operation. However,
due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control
applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM mode is the
time the OCR0x Register is updated by the OCR0x Buffer Register, (see Figure 13-10 Phase Correct
PWM Mode, Timing Diagram on page 98 and the Timing Diagram below).
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either ICR0 or
OCR0A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A set to 0x0003), and the maximum
resolution is 16-bit (ICR0 or OCR0A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated using the
following equation:
�PFCPWM =
log TOP+1
log 2
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches
either the value in ICR0 (WGM0[3:0]=0x8), or the value in OCR0A (WGM0[3:0]=0x9). The counter has
then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will be equal to TOP for one
timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct and frequency correct PWM mode is shown
below. The figure shows phase and frequency correct PWM mode when OCR0A or ICR0 is used to
define TOP. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope
operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks
on the TCNT0 slopes represent compare matches between OCR0x and TCNT0. The OC0x Interrupt Flag
will be set when a compare match occurs.

Note: The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0), and
the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR0x Registers
are updated with the double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCR0A or ICR0 is used for defining
the TOP value, the OC0A or ICF0 Flag set when TCNT0 has reached TOP. The Interrupt Flags can then
be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the
value of all of the Compare Registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the Compare Registers, a
compare match will never occur between the TCNT0 and the OCR0x.
As shown in the timing diagram above, the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode,
symmetrical in all periods. Since the OCR0x Registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising
and the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives symmetrical output pulses and is therefore
frequency correct.
Using the ICR0 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR0, the
OCR0A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC0A. However, if the base PWM
frequency is actively changed by changing the TOP value, using the OCR0A as TOP is clearly a better
choice due to its double buffer feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on
the OC0x pins. Setting the COM0x[1:0] bits to 0x2 will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted
PWM output can be generated by setting the COM0x[1:0] to 0x3 (See description of TCCR0A.COM0x).
The actual OC0x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as
output (DDR_OC0x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at the
compare match between OCR0x and TCNT0 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the
OC0x Register at compare match between OCR0x and TCNT0 when the counter decrements. The PWM
frequency for the output when using phase and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by the
following equation:
�OCnxPFCPWM =

The “n” in the register and bit names indicates the device number (n = 0 for Timer/Counter 0), and
the “x” indicates Output Compare unit (A/B).
N represents the prescale divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0x Register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform
output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR0x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be
continuously low and if set equal to TOP the output will be set to high for non-inverted PWM mode. For
inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic values. If OCR0A is used to define the TOP value
(WGM0[3:0]=0x9) and COM0A[1:0]=0x1, the OC0A output will toggle with a 50% duty cycle.
13.10. Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clkT0) is therefore shown as a clock
enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are set, and
when the OCR0x Register is updated with the OCR0x buffer value (only for modes utilizing double
buffering). The first figure shows a timing diagram for the setting of OCF0x.

Bits 7:6 – COM0An: Compare Output Mode for Channel A [n = 1:0]
Bits 5:4 – COM0Bn: Compare Output Mode for Channel B [n = 1:0]
The COM0A[1:0] and COM0B[1:0] control the Output Compare pins (OC0A and OC0B respectively)
behavior. If one or both of the COM0A[1:0] bits are written to one, the OC0A output overrides the normal
port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the COM0B[1:0] bit are written to one,
the OC0B output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note
that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC0A or OC0B pin must be set in order
to enable the output driver.
When the OC0A or OC0B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0x[1:0] bits is dependent of the
WGM0[3:0] bits setting. The table below shows the COM0x[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM0[3:0] bits
are set to a Normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).

Bits 1:0 – WGM0n: Waveform Generation Mode [n = 1:0]
Combined with the WGM0[3:2] bits found in the TCCR0B Register, these bits control the counting
sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform
generation to be used. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode
(counter), Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode, and three types of Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) modes. (See Modes of Operation on page 93).

Bit 7 – ICNC0: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the Input Capture Noise Canceler. When the noise canceler is activated,
the input from the Input Capture pin (ICP0) is filtered. The filter function requires four successive equal
valued samples of the ICP0 pin for changing its output. The Input Capture is therefore delayed by four
Oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.
Bit 6 – ICES0: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture pin (ICP0) that is used to trigger a capture event. When
the ICES0 bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and when the ICES0 bit is
written to one, a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICES0 setting, the counter value is copied into the Input
Capture Register (ICR0). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICF0), and this can be used to
cause an Input Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.
When the ICR0 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM0[3:0] bits located in the TCCR0A and
the TCCR0B Register), the ICP0 is disconnected and consequently the Input Capture function is
disabled.

Bit 7 – FOC0A: Force Output Compare for Channel A

The FOC0A/FOC0B bits are only active when the WGM0[3:0] bits specifies a non-PWM mode. When
writing a logical one to the FOC0A/FOC0B bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the Waveform
Generation unit. The OC0A/OC0B output is changed according to its COM0x[1:0] bits setting. Note that
the FOC0A/FOC0B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0x[1:0]
bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC0A/FOC0B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear Timer on
Compare match (CTC) mode using OCR0A as TOP. The FOC0A/FOC0B bits are always read as zero.

The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNT0H and TCNT0L, combined TCNT0) give direct access, both
for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To ensure that both the high

performed using an 8-bit temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all
the other 16-bit registers. Refer to Accessing 16-bit Registers on page 83 for details.
Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a compare match
between TCNT0 and one of the OCR0x Registers.
Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock for all
compare units.

OCR0BH and OCR0BL are combined into OCR0B. It means OCR0BL[7:0] is OCR0B[7:0].
The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter
value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to generate a
waveform output on the OC0x pin. The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both
the high and low bytes are written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is
performed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the
other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit Registers”.

Analog Comparator
14.1.
Overview
The Analog Comparator compares the input values on the positive pin AIN0 and negative pin AIN1. When
the voltage on the positive pin AIN0 is higher than the voltage on the negative pin AIN1, the Analog
Comparator output, ACO (on Port E[0]), is set. The comparator’s output can be set to trigger the Timer/
Counter1 Input Capture function. In addition, the comparator can trigger a separate interrupt, exclusive to
the Analog Comparator. The user can select Interrupt triggering on comparator output rise, fall or toggle.
A block diagram of the comparator and its surrounding logic is shown below.
The Power Reduction ADC bit in the Power Reduction Register (PRR.PRADC) must be written to '0' in
order to be able to use the ADC input MUX.

Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the Analog Comparator is switched off. This bit can be set
at any time to turn off the Analog Comparator. This will reduce power consumption in Active and Idle
mode. When changing the ACD bit, the Analog Comparator Interrupt must be disabled by clearing the
ACIE bit in ACSR. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the bit is changed.
Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output
The output of the Analog Comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to ACO. The
synchronization introduces a delay of 1 - 2 clock cycles.
Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag
This bit is set by hardware when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode defined by ACIS1
and ACIS0. The Analog Comparator interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE bit is set and the I-bit in
SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector.
Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.
Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Analog Comparator
interrupt is activated. When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.
Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When written logic one, this bit enables the input capture function in Timer/Counter0 to be triggered by
the Analog Comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly connected to the input capture
front-end logic, making the comparator utilize the noise canceler and edge select features of the Timer/
Counter0 Input Capture interrupt. When written logic zero, no connection between the Analog
Comparator and the input capture function exists. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter0
Input Capture interrupt, the ICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK0) must be set.
Bits 1:0 – ACISn: Analog Comparator Interrupt Mode Select [n = 1:0]
These bits determine which comparator events that trigger the Analog Comparator interrupt.

Overview
ATtiny5/10 feature an 8-bit, successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to a 4-channel analog
multiplexer which allows four single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the pins of port B. The singleended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND).
The ADC contains a Sample and Hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is held at a
constant level during conversion.
Internal reference voltage of VCC is provided on-chip.
The ADC is not available in ATtiny4/9.
The Power Reduction ADC bit in the Power Reduction Register (PRR.PRADC) must be written to '0' in
order to be enable the ADC.
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to an 8-bit digital value through successive approximation. The
minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on the voltage on VCC.

The analog input channel is selected by writing to the MUX bits in the ADC Multiplexer Selection register
(ADMUX.MUX). Any of the ADC input pins can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. The ADC
is enabled by writing a '1' to the ADC Enable bit in the ADC Control and Status Register A
(ADCSRA.ADEN). Voltage reference and input channel selections will not take effect until ADEN is set.
The ADC does not consume power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to switch off the ADC
before entering power saving sleep modes.

Starting a Conversion
A single conversion is started by writing a '0' to the Power Reduction ADC bit in the Power Reduction
Register (PRR.PRADC), and writing a '1' to the ADC Start Conversion bit in the ADC Control and Status
Register A (ADCSRA.ADSC). ADCS will stay high as long as the conversion is in progress, and will be
cleared by hardware when the conversion is completed. If a different data channel is selected while a
conversion is in progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion before performing the channel
change.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered automatically by various sources. Auto Triggering is enabled
by setting the ADC Auto Trigger Enable bit (ADCSRA.ADATE). The trigger source is selected by setting
the ADC Trigger Select bits in the ADC Control and Status Register B (ADCSRB.ADTS). See the
description of the ADCSRB.ADTS for a list of available trigger sources.

When a positive edge occurs on the selected trigger signal, the ADC prescaler is reset and a conversion
is started. This provides a method of starting conversions at fixed intervals. If the trigger signal still is set
when the conversion completes, a new conversion will not be started. If another positive edge occurs on
the trigger signal during conversion, the edge will be ignored. Note that an interrupt flag will be set even if
the specific interrupt is disabled or the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the AVR Status REgister (SREG.I) is
cleared. A conversion can thus be triggered without causing an interrupt. However, the Interrupt Flag
must be cleared in order to trigger a new conversion at the next interrupt event.

Using the ADC Interrupt Flag as a trigger source makes the ADC start a new conversion as soon as the
ongoing conversion has finished. The ADC then operates in Free Running mode, constantly sampling
and updating the ADC Data Register. The first conversion must be started by writing a '1' to
ADCSRA.ADSC. In this mode the ADC will perform successive conversions independently of whether the
ADC Interrupt Flag (ADIF) is cleared or not.
If Auto Triggering is enabled, single conversions can be started by writing ADCSRA.ADSC to '1'. ADSC
can also be used to determine if a conversion is in progress. The ADSC bit will be read as '1' during a
conversion, independently of how the conversion was started.

Prescaling and Conversion Timing
By default, the successive approximation circuitry requires an input clock frequency between 50 kHz and
200 kHz to get maximum resolution.
The ADC module contains a prescaler, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency from any
CPU frequency above 100 kHz. The prescaling is selected by the ADC Prescaler Select bits in the ADC
Control and Status Register A (ADCSRA.ADPS). The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC
is switched on by writing the ADC Enable bit ADCSRA.ADEN to '1'. The prescaler keeps running for as
long as ADEN=1, and is continuously reset when ADEN=0.

When initiating a single ended conversion by writing a '1' to the ADC Start Conversion bit
(ADCSRA.ADSC), the conversion starts at the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle.
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is switched on (i.e.,
ADCSRA.ADEN is written to '1') takes 25 ADC clock cycles in order to initialize the analog circuitry, as the
figure below.

to the ADC Data Registers (ADCL), and the ADC Interrupt Flag (ADCSRA.ADIF) is set. In Single
Conversion mode, ADCSRA.ADSC is cleared simultaneously. The software may then set
ADCSRA.ADSC again, and a new conversion will be initiated on the first rising ADC clock edge.

Changing Channel or Reference Selection
The Analog Channel Selection bits (MUX) in the ADC Multiplexer Selection Register (ADCMUX.MUX) are
single buffered through a temporary register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the
channels and reference selection only takes place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel

selection is continuously updated until a conversion is started. Once the conversion starts, the channel
selection is locked to ensure a sufficient sampling time for the ADC. Continuous updating resumes in the
last ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (indicated by ADCSRA.ADIF set). Note that the
conversion starts on the following rising ADC clock edge after ADSC is written. The user is thus advised
not to write new channel or reference selection values to ADMUX until one ADC clock cycle after the ADC
Start Conversion bit (ADCRSA.ADSC) was written.
If Auto Triggering is used, the exact time of the triggering event can be indeterministic. Special care must
be taken when updating the ADMUX Register, in order to control which conversion will be affected by the
new settings.
If both the ADC Auto Trigger Enable (ADCRSA.ADATE) and ADC Enable bits (ADCRSA.ADEN) are
written to '1', an interrupt event can occur at any time. If the ADMUX Register is changed in this period,
the user cannot tell if the next conversion is based on the old or the new settings. ADMUX can be safely
updated in the following ways:
1.
When ADATE or ADEN is cleared.
1.1.
During conversion, minimum one ADC clock cycle after the trigger event.
1.2.
After a conversion, before the Interrupt Flag used as trigger source is cleared.
When updating ADMUX in one of these conditions, the new settings will affect the next ADC conversion.
15.6.
ADC Input Channels
When changing channel selections, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure that the
correct channel is selected:
•
In Single Conversion mode, always select the channel before starting the conversion. The channel
selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest
method is to wait for the conversion to complete before changing the channel selection.
•
In Free Running mode, always select the channel before starting the first conversion. The channel
selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest
method is to wait for the first conversion to complete, and then change the channel selection. Since
the next conversion has already started automatically, the next result will reflect the previous
channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new channel selection. The user is
advised not to write new channel or reference selection values during Free Running mode.
15.7.
ADC Voltage Reference
The reference voltage for the ADC (VREF) indicates the conversion range, which in this case is limited to
0V (VGND) and VREF = Vcc. Single ended channels that exceed VREF will result in codes close to 0xFF.
15.8.
ADC Noise Canceler
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during sleep mode to reduce noise induced
from the CPU core and other I/O peripherals. The noise canceler can be used with ADC Noise Reduction
and Idle mode. To make use of this feature, the following procedure should be used:
1.
2.
Make sure that the ADC is enabled and is not busy converting. Single Conversion mode must be
selected and the ADC conversion complete interrupt must be enabled.
Enter ADC Noise Reduction mode (or Idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion once the CPU
has been halted.

129
3.
If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC interrupt will wake up
the CPU and execute the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt routine. If another interrupt wakes up
the CPU before the ADC conversion is complete, that interrupt will be executed, and an ADC
Conversion Complete interrupt request will be generated when the ADC conversion completes. The
CPU will remain in active mode until a new sleep command is executed.
Note: The ADC will not be automatically turned off when entering other sleep modes than Idle mode and
ADC Noise Reduction mode. The user is advised to write zero to ADCRSA.ADEN before entering such
sleep modes to avoid excessive power consumption.
15.9.
Analog Input Circuitry
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated below. An analog source applied to
ADCn is subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin, regardless of whether that
channel is selected as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H
capacitor through the series resistance (combined resistance in the input path).
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less. If such
a source is used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher impedance is used, the
sampling time will depend on how long time the source needs to charge the S/H capacitor, with can vary
widely. The user is recommended to only use low impedance sources with slowly varying signals, since
this minimizes the required charge transfer to the S/H capacitor.
Signal components higher than the Nyquist frequency (fADC/2) should not be present for either kind of
channels, to avoid distortion from unpredictable signal convolution. The user is advised to remove high
frequency components with a low-pass filter before applying the signals as inputs to the ADC.

15.10. Analog Noise Canceling Techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of analog
measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by applying the following
techniques:
•
Keep analog signal paths as short as possible.
•
Make sure analog tracks run over the analog ground plane
•
Keep analog tracks well away from high-speed switching digital tracks.
•
If any port pin is used as a digital output, it mustn’t switch while a conversion is in progress.
•
Place bypass capacitors as close to VCC and GND pins as possible.
When high ADC accuracy is required it is recommended to use ADC Noise Reduction Mode. A good
system design with properly placed, external bypass capacitors does reduce the need for using ADC
Noise Reduction Mode.

An n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps (LSBs). The
lowest code is read as 0, and the highest code is read as 2n-1.
Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior:
•
Offset: The deviation of the first transition (0x00 to 0x01) compared to the ideal transition (at 0.5
LSB). Ideal value: 0 LSB.

Data Registers (ADCL).
For single ended conversion, the result is

Bit 7 – ADEN: ADC Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the ADC. By writing it to zero, the ADC is turned off. Turning the ADC off
while a conversion is in progress, will terminate this conversion.
Bit 6 – ADSC: ADC Start Conversion
In Single Conversion mode, write this bit to one to start each conversion. In Free Running mode, write
this bit to one to start the first conversion. The first conversion after ADSC has been written after the ADC
has been enabled, or if ADSC is written at the same time as the ADC is enabled, will take 25 ADC clock
cycles instead of the normal 13. This first conversion performs initialization of the ADC.
ADSC will read as one as long as a conversion is in progress. When the conversion is complete, it returns
to zero. Writing zero to this bit has no effect.
Bit 5 – ADATE: ADC Auto Trigger Enable
When this bit is written to one, Auto Triggering of the ADC is enabled. The ADC will start a conversion on
a positive edge of the selected trigger signal. The trigger source is selected by setting the ADC Trigger
Select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB.
Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when an ADC conversion completes and the Data Registers are updated. The ADC
Conversion Complete Interrupt is executed if the ADIE bit and the I-bit in SREG are set. ADIF is cleared
by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ADIF is cleared by
writing a logical one to the flag. Beware that if doing a Read-Modify-Write on ADCSRA, a pending
interrupt can be disabled. This also applies if the SBI and CBI instructions are used.
Bit 3 – ADIE: ADC Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in SREG is set, the ADC Conversion Complete Interrupt is
activated.
Bits 2:0 – ADPSn: ADC Prescaler Select [n = 2:0]
These bits determine the division factor between the system clock frequency and the input clock to the

by the rising edge of the selected Interrupt Flag. Note that switching from a trigger source that is cleared
to a trigger source that is set, will generate a positive edge on the trigger signal. If ADEN in ADCSRA is

Overview
The Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) supports external programming of all Non-Volatile Memories
(NVM). Memory programming is done via the NVM Controller, by executing NVM controller commands as
described in Memory Programming.
The Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) provides access to the programming facilities. The interface
consists of two layers: the access layer and the physical layer.

Physical Layer of Tiny Programming Interface
The TPI physical layer handles the basic low-level serial communication. The TPI physical layer uses a
bi-directional, half-duplex serial receiver and transmitter. The physical layer includes serial-to-parallel and
parallel-to-serial data conversion, start-of-frame detection, frame error detection, parity error detection,
parity generation and collision detection.
The TPI is accessed via three pins, as follows:
•
RESET: Tiny Programming Interface enable input
•
TPICLK: Tiny Programming Interface clock input
•
TPIDATA: Tiny Programming Interface data input/output
In addition, the VCC and GND pins must be connected between the external programmer and the device.

APPLICATION
NVM can be programmed at 5V, only. In some designs it may be necessary to protect components that
can not tolerate 5V with, for example, series resistors.
16.3.1.
Enabling
The following sequence enables the Tiny Programming Interface:
•
Apply 5V between VCC and GND
•
Depending on the method of reset to be used:
– Either: wait tTOUT (see System and Reset Characteristics) and then set the RESET pin low.
This will reset the device and enable the TPI physical layer. The RESET pin must then be
kept low for the entire programming session
– Or: if the RSTDISBL configuration bit has been programmed, apply 12V to the RESET pin.
The RESET pin must be kept at 12V for the entire programming session
•
•
Wait tRST (see System and Reset Characteristics )
Keep the TPIDATA pin high for 16 TPICLK cycles

Disabling
Provided that the NVM enable bit has been cleared, the TPI is automatically disabled if the RESET pin is
released to inactive high state or, alternatively, if VHV is no longer applied to the RESET pin.
If the NVM enable bit is not cleared a power down is required to exit TPI programming mode. See
NVMEN bit in TPISR – Tiny Programming Interface Status Register.

Frame Format
The TPI physical layer supports a fixed frame format. A frame consists of one character, eight bits in
length, and one start bit, a parity bit and two stop bits. Data is transferred with the least significant bit first.

Operation
The TPI physical layer operates synchronously on the TPICLK provided by the external programmer. The
dependency between the clock edges and data sampling or data change is shown in the figure below.
Data is changed at falling edges and sampled at rising edges.
Figure 16-6 Data changing and Data sampling.
TPICLK

SAMPLE
SETUP
The TPI physical layer supports two modes of operation: Transmit and Receive. By default, the layer is in
Receive mode, waiting for a start bit. The mode of operation is controlled by the access layer.
16.3.7.
Serial Data Reception
When the TPI physical layer is in receive mode, data reception is started as soon as a start bit has been
detected. Each bit that follows the start bit will be sampled at the rising edge of the TPICLK and shifted
into the shift register until the second stop bit has been received. When the complete frame is present in
the shift register the received data will be available for the TPI access layer.
There are three possible exceptions in the receive mode: frame error, parity error and break detection. All
these exceptions are signalized to the TPI access layer, which then enters the error state and puts the
TPI physical layer into receive mode, waiting for a BREAK character.
•
•
•
Frame Error Exception. The frame error exception indicates the state of the stop bit. The frame
error exception is set if the stop bit was read as zero.
Parity Error Exception. The parity of the data bits is calculated during the frame reception. After the
frame is received completely, the result is compared with the parity bit of the frame. If the
comparison fails the parity error exception is signalized.
Break Detection Exception. The Break detection exception is given when a complete frame of all
zeros has been received.

16.3.8.
Serial Data Transmission
When the TPI physical layer is ready to send a new frame it initiates data transmission by loading the shift
register with the data to be transmitted. When the shift register has been loaded with new data, the
transmitter shifts one complete frame out on the TPIDATA line at the transfer rate given by TPICLK.
If a collision is detected during transmission, the output driver is disabled. The TPI access layer enters the
error state and the TPI physical layer is put into receive mode, waiting for a BREAK character.
16.3.9.
Collision Detection Exception
The TPI physical layer uses one bi-directional data line for both data reception and transmission. A
possible drive contention may occur, if the external programmer and the TPI physical layer drive the
TPIDATA line simultaneously. In order to reduce the effect of the drive contention, a collision detection
mechanism is supported. The collision detection is based on the way the TPI physical layer drives the
TPIDATA line.
The TPIDATA line is driven by a tri-state, push-pull driver with internal pull-up. The output driver is always
enabled when a logical zero is sent. When sending successive logical ones, the output is only driven
actively during the first clock cycle. After this, the output driver is automatically tri-stated and the TPIDATA
line is kept high by the internal pull-up. The output is re-enabled, when the next logical zero is sent.
The collision detection is enabled in transmit mode, when the output driver has been disabled. The data
line should now be kept high by the internal pull-up and it is monitored to see, if it is driven low by the
external programmer. If the output is read low, a collision has been detected.
There are some potential pit-falls related to the way collision detection is performed. For example,
collisions cannot be detected when the TPI physical layer transmits a bit-stream of successive logical
zeros, or bit-stream of alternating logical ones and zeros. This is because the output driver is active all the
time, preventing polling of the TPIDATA line. However, within a single frame the two stop bits should
always be transmitted as logical ones, enabling collision detection at least once per frame (as long as the
frame format is not violated regarding the stop bits).
The TPI physical layer will cease transmission when it detects a collision on the TPIDATA line. The
collision is signalized to the TPI access layer, which immediately changes the physical layer to receive
mode and goes to the error state. The TPI access layer can be recovered from the error state only by
sending a BREAK character.
16.3.10. Direction Change
In order to ensure correct timing of the half-duplex operation, a simple guard time mechanism has been
added to the physical layer. When the TPI physical layer changes from receive to transmit mode, a
configurable number of additional IDLE bits are inserted before the start bit is transmitted. The minimum
transition time between receive and transmit mode is two IDLE bits.
The total IDLE time is the specified guard time plus two IDLE bits. The guard time is configured by
dedicated bits in the TPIPCR register. The default guard time value after the physical layer is initialized is
128 bits.
The external programmer looses control of the TPIDATA line when the TPI target changes from receive
mode to transmit. The guard time feature relaxes this critical phase of the communication. When the
external programmer changes from receive mode to transmit, a minimum of one IDLE bit should be
inserted before the start bit is transmitted.
16.3.11. Access Layer of Tiny Programming Interface
The TPI access layer is responsible for handling the communication with the external programmer. The
communication is based on message format, where each message comprises an instruction followed by
one or more byte-sized operands. The instruction is always sent by the external programmer but

144
operands are sent either by the external programmer or by the TPI access layer, depending on the type of
instruction issued.
The TPI access layer controls the character transfer direction on the TPI physical layer. It also handles
the recovery from the error state after exception.
The Control and Status Space (CSS) of the Tiny Programming Interface is allocated for control and status
registers in the TPI access Layer. The CSS consist of registers directly involved in the operation of the
TPI itself. These register are accessible using the SLDCS and SSTCS instructions.
The access layer can also access the data space, either directly or indirectly using the Pointer Register
(PR) as the address pointer. The data space is accessible using the SLD, SST, SIN and SOUT
instructions. The address pointer can be stored in the Pointer Register using the SLDPR instruction.
16.3.11.1. Message format
Each message comprises an instruction followed by one or more byte operands. The instruction is always
sent by the external programmer. Depending on the instruction all the following operands are sent either
by the external programmer or by the TPI.
The messages can be categorized in two types based on the instruction, as follows:
•
Write messages. A write message is a request to write data. The write message is sent entirely by
the external programmer. This message type is used with the SSTCS, SST, STPR, SOUT and
SKEY instructions.
•
Read messages. A read message is a request to read data. The TPI reacts to the request by
sending the byte operands. This message type is used with the SLDCS, SLD and SIN instructions.
All the instructions except the SKEY instruction require the instruction to be followed by one byte
operand. The SKEY instruction requires 8 byte operands. For more information, see the TPI instruction
set.
16.3.11.2. Exception Handling and Synchronisation
Several situations are considered exceptions from normal operation of the TPI. When the TPI physical
layer is in receive mode, these exceptions are:
•
The TPI physical layer detects a parity error.
•
The TPI physical layer detects a frame error.
•
The TPI physical layer recognizes a BREAK character.
When the TPI physical layer is in transmit mode, the possible exceptions are:
•
The TPI physical layer detects a data collision.
All these exceptions are signalized to the TPI access layer. The access layer responds to an exception by
aborting any on-going operation and enters the error state. The access layer will stay in the error state
until a BREAK character has been received, after which it is taken back to its default state. As a
consequence, the external programmer can always synchronize the protocol by simply transmitting two
successive BREAK characters.
16.4.
Instruction Set
The TPI has a compact instruction set that is used to access the TPI Control and Status Space (CSS)
and the data space. The instructions allow the external programmer to access the TPI, the NVM
Controller and the NVM memories. All instructions except SKEY require one byte operand following the
instruction. The SKEY instruction is followed by 8 data bytes. All instructions are byte-sized.

High Security with NVM Lock Bits
Overview
The Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Controller manages all access to the Non-Volatile Memories. The NVM
Controller controls all NVM timing and access privileges, and holds the status of the NVM.
During normal execution the CPU will execute code from the code section of the Flash memory (program
memory). When entering sleep and no programming operations are active, the Flash memory is disabled
to minimize power consumption.
All NVM are mapped to the data memory. Application software can read the NVM from the mapped
locations of data memory using load instruction with indirect addressing.
The NVM has only one read port and, therefore, the next instruction and the data can not be read
simultaneously. When the application reads data from NVM locations mapped to the data space, the data
is read first before the next instruction is fetched. The CPU execution is here delayed by one system
clock cycle.
Internal programming operations to NVM have been disabled and the NVM therefore appears to the
application software as read-only. Internal write or erase operations of the NVM will not be successful.
The method used by the external programmer for writing the Non-Volatile Memories is referred to as
external programming. External programming can be done both in-system or in mass production. The
external programmer can read and program the NVM via the Tiny Programming Interface (TPI).
In the external programming mode all NVM can be read and programmed, except the signature and the
calibration sections which are read-only.
NVM can be programmed at 5V, only.

17.4.
Accessing the NVM
NVM lock bits, and all Flash memory sections are mapped to the data space as shown in Data Memory.
The NVM can be accessed for read and programming via the locations mapped in the data space.
The NVM Controller recognizes a set of commands that can be used to instruct the controller what type of
programming task to perform on the NVM. Commands to the NVM Controller are issued via the NVM
Command Register. See NVMCMD - Non-Volatile Memory Command Register. After the selected
command has been loaded, the operation is started by writing data to the NVM locations mapped to the
data space.
When the NVM Controller is busy performing an operation it will signal this via the NVM Busy Flag in the
NVM Control and Status Register. See NVMCSR - Non-Volatile Memory Control and Status Register. The
NVM Command Register is blocked for write access as long as the busy flag is active. This is to ensure
that the current command is fully executed before a new command can start.
Programming any part of the NVM will automatically inhibit the following operations:
•
All programming to any other part of the NVM
•
All reading from any NVM location
ATtiny4/5/9/10 support only external programming. Internal programming operations to NVM have been
disabled, which means any internal attempt to write or erase NVM locations will fail.

17.4.1.
Addressing the Flash
The data space uses byte accessing but since the Flash sections are accessed as words and organized
in pages, the byte-address of the data space must be converted to the word-address of the Flash section.
The most significant bits of the data space address select the NVM Lock bits or the Flash section mapped
to the data memory. The word address within a page (WADDR) is held by bits [WADDRMSB:1], and the
page address (PADDR) by bits [PADDRMSB:WADDRMSB+1]. Together, PADDR and WADDR form the
absolute address of a word in the Flash section.
The least significant bit of the Flash section address is used to select the low or high byte of the word.

17.4.2.
Reading the Flash
The Flash can be read from the data memory mapped locations one byte at a time. For read operations,
the least significant bit (bit 0) is used to select the low or high byte in the word address. If this bit is zero,
the low byte is read, and if it is one, the high byte is read.
17.4.3.
Programming the Flash
The Flash can be written word-by-word. Before writing a Flash word, the Flash target location must be
erased. Writing to an un-erased Flash word will corrupt its content.
The Flash is word-accessed for writing, and the data space uses byte-addressing to access Flash that
has been mapped to data memory. It is therefore important to write the word in the correct order to the
Flash, namely low bytes before high bytes. First, the low byte is written to the temporary buffer. Then,
writing the high byte latches both the high byte and the low byte into the Flash word buffer, starting the
write operation to Flash.
The Flash erase operations can only performed for the entire Flash sections.
The Flash programming sequence is as follows:
1. Perform a Flash section erase or perform a Chip erase
2. Write the Flash section word by word
17.4.3.1. Chip Erase
The Chip Erase command will erase the entire code section of the Flash memory and the NVM Lock Bits.
For security reasons, the NVM Lock Bits are not reset before the code section has been completely
erased. Configuration, Signature and Calibration sections are not changed.
Before starting the Chip erase, the NVMCMD register must be loaded with the CHIP_ERASE command.
To start the erase operation a dummy byte must be written into the high byte of a word location that
resides inside the Flash code section. The NVMBSY bit remains set until erasing has been completed.
While the Flash is being erased neither Flash buffer loading nor Flash reading can be performed.
The Chip Erase can be carried out as follows:
1. Write the 0x10 (CHIP_ERASE) to the NVMCMD register

Self programming
The ATtiny4/5/9/10 don't support internal programming.
17.6.
External Programming
The method for programming the Non-Volatile Memories by means of an external programmer is referred
to as external programming. External programming can be done both in-system or in mass production.
The Non-Volatile Memories can be externally programmed via the Tiny Programming Interface (TPI). For
details on the TPI, see Programming interface. Using the TPI, the external programmer can access the
NVM control and status registers mapped to I/O space and the NVM memory mapped to data memory
space.

17.6.1.
Entering External Programming Mode
The TPI must be enabled before external programming mode can be entered. The following procedure
describes, how to enter the external programming mode after the TPI has been enabled:
1. Make a request for enabling NVM programming by sending the NVM memory access key with the
SKEY instruction.
2. Poll the status of the NVMEN bit in TPISR until it has been set.
Refer to the Programming Interface description for more detailed information of enabling the TPI and
programming the NVM.

3. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC =
3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the sum of all IOL (for all ports) should not exceed
60 mA. If IOL exceeds the test conditions, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not
guaranteed to sink current greater than the listed test condition.
4. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (10 mA at VCC = 5V, 5 mA at VCC
= 3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the sum of all IOH (for all ports) should not
exceed 60 mA. If IOH exceeds the test condition, VOH may exceed the related specification. Pins are
not guaranteed to source current greater than the listed test condition.
5. The RESET pin must tolerate high voltages when entering and operating in programming modes
and, as a consequence, has a weak drive strength as compared to regular I/O pins. See Figure
19-25 Reset Pin as I/O, Output Voltage vs. Sink Current on page 182, and Figure 19-26 Reset Pin
as I/O, Output Voltage vs. Source Current on page 182.

Typical Characteristics
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of similar devices
in the same process and design methods. Thus, the data should be treated as indications of how the part
will behave.
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing. During
characterisation devices are operated at frequencies higher than test limits but they are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and with
internal pull-ups enabled. Current consumption is a function of several factors such as operating voltage,
operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and ambient
temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.
A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock source but current consumption in PowerDown mode is independent of clock selection. The difference between current consumption in PowerDown mode with Watchdog Timer enabled and Power-Down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled
represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
The current drawn from pins with a capacitive load may be estimated (for one pin) as follows:
ICP ≃ VCC × CL × f
SW
where VCC = operating voltage, CL = load capacitance and fSW = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
19.1.
Supply Current of I/O Modules
Tables and formulas below can be used to calculate additional current consumption for the different I/O
modules in Active and Idle mode. Enabling and disabling of I/O modules is controlled by the Power
Reduction Register. See Power Reduction Register for details.

For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved
I/O memory addresses should never be written.
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.
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 operation 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 ADC is available in ATtiny5/10, only.
