ATtiny26(L)
Description
The ATtiny26(L) is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC
architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATtiny26(L) achieves
throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the
32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers. The ATtiny26(L) has a high precision ADC with up to 11 single
ended channels and 8 differential channels. Seven differential channels have an optional gain of
20x. Four out of the seven differential channels, which have the optional gain, can be used at the
same time. The ATtiny26(L) also has a high frequency 8-bit PWM module with two independent
outputs. Two of the PWM outputs have inverted non-overlapping output pins ideal for synchronous rectification. The Universal Serial Interface of the ATtiny26(L) allows efficient software
implementation of TWI (Two-wire Serial Interface) or SM-bus interface. These features allow for
highly integrated battery charger and lighting ballast applications, low-end thermostats, and
firedetectors, among other applications.
The ATtiny26(L) provides 2K bytes of Flash, 128 bytes EEPROM, 128 bytes SRAM, up to 16
general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, two 8-bit Timer/Counters, one
with PWM outputs, internal and external Oscillators, internal and external interrupts, programmable Watchdog Timer, 11-channel, 10-bit Analog to Digital Converter with two differential
voltage input gain stages, and four software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the Timer/Counters and interrupt system to continue functioning.
The ATtiny26(L) also has a dedicated ADC Noise Reduction mode for reducing the noise in ADC
conversion. In this sleep mode, only the ADC is functioning. The Power-down mode saves the
register contents but freezes the oscillators, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. The Standby mode is the same as the Power-down mode, but external
oscillators are enabled. The wakeup or interrupt on pin change features enable the ATtiny26(L)
to be highly responsive to external events, still featuring the lowest power consumption while in
the Power-down mode.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. By
combining an enhanced RISC 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the ATtiny26(L) is a
powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many
embedded control applications.
The ATtiny26(L) AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools
including: Macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, In-circuit emulators, and evaluation
kits.

Pin Descriptions
VCC
Digital supply voltage pin.
GND
Digital ground pin.
AVCC
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for Port A and the A/D Converter (ADC). It should be externally
connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC
through a low-pass filter. See page 94 for details on operating of the ADC.
Port A (PA7..PA0)
Port A is an 8-bit general purpose I/O port. PA7..PA0 are all I/O pins that can provide internal
pull-ups (selected for each bit). Port A has alternate functions as analog inputs for the ADC and
analog comparator and pin change interrupt as described in “Alternate Port Functions” on page
46.
Port B (PB7..PB0)
Port B is an 8-bit general purpose I/O port. PB6..0 are all I/O pins that can provide internal pullups (selected for each bit). PB7 is an I/O pin if not used as the reset. To use pin PB7 as an I/O
pin, instead of RESET pin, program (“0”) RSTDISBL Fuse. Port B has alternate functions for the
ADC, clocking, timer counters, USI, SPI programming, and pin change interrupt as described in
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 46.
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the PB7/RESET pin. Reset pulses longer than
50 ns will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a reset.

Code Examples
This datasheet contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the
device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and
interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please confirm with the C compiler documentation
for more details.

AVR CPU Core
Architectural
Overview
The fast-access Register File concept contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with
a single clock cycle access time. This means that during one single clock cycle, one ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) operation is executed. Two operands are output from the Register File, the
operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as 16-bit pointers for indirect memory access. These pointers
are called the X-, Y-, and Z-pointers, and they can address the Register File and the Flash program memory.

The ALU supports arithmetic and logic functions between registers or between a constant and a
register. Single register operations are also executed in the ALU. Figure 2 shows the
ATtiny26(L) AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller architecture. In addition to the register operation, the conventional memory addressing modes can be used on the Register File as well. This
is enabled by the fact that the Register File is assigned the 32 lowermost Data Space addresses
($00 - $1F), allowing them to be accessed as though they were ordinary memory locations.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, Timer/Counters, A/D Converters, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be
accessed directly, or as the Data Space locations following those of the Register File, $20 - $5F.
The AVR uses a Harvard architecture concept with separate memories and buses for program
and data memories. The program memory is accessed with a two stage pipelining. While one
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This
7
1477K–AVR–08/10
concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is InSystem programmable Flash memory.
With the relative jump and relative call instructions, the whole address space is directly
accessed. All AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format, meaning that every program
memory address contains a single 16-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address program counter (PC) is stored on the
Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the stack
size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must
initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The 8-bit
Stack Pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O space. For programs written in C, the stack
size must be declared in the linker file. Refer to the C user guide for more information.
The 128 bytes data SRAM can be easily accessed through the five different addressing modes
supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, Timer/Counters, and other I/O functions. The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are
all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional Global
Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All the different interrupts have a separate Interrupt
Vector in the Interrupt Vector table at the beginning of the program memory. The different interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt
Vector address, the higher the priority.

ATtiny26(L)
All of the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single cycle access
to all registers. The only exceptions are the five constant arithmetic and logic instructions SBCI,
SUBI, CPI, ANDI, and ORI between a constant and a register, and the LDI instruction for load
immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the second half of the registers in the Register File – R16..R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP, AND, and OR, and all other operations
between two registers or on a single register apply to the entire Register File.
As shown in Figure 3, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them
directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides flexibility in access of the
registers, as the X-, Y-, and Z-registers can be set to index any register in the file.
X-register, Y-register,
and Z-register
The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are address pointers for indirect addressing of the Data Space. The three indirect address
registers X, Y, and Z are defined as:

ALU – Arithmetic
Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, ALU operations between registers in the Register File
are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – Arithmetic, Logical,
and Bit-functions.

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set (one) for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual
interrupt enable control is then performed in the Interrupt Mask Registers – GIMSK and TIMSK.
If the Global Interrupt Enable Register is cleared (zero), none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the GIMSK and TIMSK values. The I-bit 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: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source and destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Register File can be copied into T by the
BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the Register File by the
BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arithmetic operations. See the Instruction
Set Description for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the Negative Flag N and the Two’s Complement
Overflow Flag V. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s Complement Overflow Flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the
Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result after the different arithmetic and logic operations. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result after the different arithmetic and logic operations. 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.

The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt
Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before
any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to
point above $60. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack
with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when an address is pushed onto the
Stack with subroutine calls and interrupts. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is
popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when an address
is popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.

The AVR CPU is driven by the System Clock Ø, directly generated from the external clock crystal for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 16 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept
to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost,
functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

The ATtiny26(L) contains 2K bytes On-chip In-System Programmable Flash memory for program storage. Since all instructions are 16- or 32-bit words, the Flash is organized as 1K x 16.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The ATtiny26(L) Program Counter – PC – is 10 bits wide, thus addressing the 1024 program memory addresses, see
“Memory Programming” on page 107 for a detailed description on Flash data downloading. See

The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Displacement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement, and Indirect with Post-increment. In the Register
File, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space. The Indirect with Displacement mode features a 63 address locations reach from the base address given by the Y- or Z-register.
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X, Y, and Z are decremented and incremented.
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers and the 128 bytes of internal data
SRAM in the ATtiny26(L) are all accessible through all these addressing modes.
See “Program and Data Addressing Modes” on page 11 for a detailed description of the different
addressing modes.
EEPROM Data
Memory
The ATtiny26(L) contains 128 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is organized as a separate
data space, in which single bytes can be read and written (see “Memory Programming” on page
107). The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase cycles per location.
EEPROM Read/Write
Access
The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.
The write access time is typically 8.3 ms. A self-timing function lets the user software detect
when the next byte can be written. A special EEPROM Ready Interrupt can be set to trigger
when the EEPROM is ready to accept new data.
An ongoing EEPROM write operation will complete even if a reset condition occurs.
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a two state write procedure must be followed.
Refer to the description of the EEPROM Control Register for details on this.
When the EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the next instruction
is executed.
When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles before the next instruction is
executed.

• Bit 7..4 – RES: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny26(L) and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable
When the I-bit in SREG and EERIE are set (one), the EEPROM Ready Interrupt is enabled.
When cleared (zero), the interrupt is disabled. The EEPROM Ready Interrupt generates a constant interrupt when EEWE is cleared (zero).
• Bit 2 – EEMWE: EEPROM Master Write Enable
The EEMWE bit determines whether setting EEWE to one causes the EEPROM to be written.
When EEMWE is set (one), setting EEWE will write data to the EEPROM at the selected
address. If EEMWE is zero, setting EEWE will have no effect. When EEMWE has been set (one)
by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after four clock cycles. See the description of the
EEWE bit for an EEPROM write procedure.
• Bit 1 – EEWE: EEPROM Write Enable
The EEPROM Write Enable Signal – EEWE – is the write strobe to the EEPROM. When
address and data are correctly set up, the EEWE bit must be set to write the value in to the
EEPROM. The EEMWE bit must be set when the logical one is written to EEWE, otherwise no
EEPROM write takes place. The following procedure should be followed when writing the
EEPROM (the order of steps 2 and 3 is unessential):
1. Wait until EEWE becomes zero.
2. Write new EEPROM address to EEAR (optional).
3. Write new EEPROM data to EEDR (optional).
4. Write a logical one to the EEMWE bit in EECR.
5. Within four clock cycles after setting EEMWE, write a logical one to EEWE.
Caution: An interrupt between step 4 and step 5 will make the write cycle fail, since the
EEPROM Master Write Enable will time-out. If an interrupt routine accessing the EEPROM is
interrupting another EEPROM access, the EEAR or EEDR Register will be modified, causing the
interrupted EEPROM access to fail. It is recommended to have the Global Interrupt Flag cleared
during all the steps to avoid these problems.
When the access time (typically 8.3 ms) has elapsed, the EEWE bit is cleared (zero) by hardware. The user software can poll this bit and wait for a zero before writing the next byte. When
EEWE has been set, the CPU is halted for two cycles before the next instruction is executed.
• Bit 0 – EERE: EEPROM Read Enable
19
1477K–AVR–08/10
The EEPROM Read Enable Signal – EERE – is the read strobe to the EEPROM. When the correct address is set up in the EEAR Register, the EERE bit must be set. When the EERE bit is
cleared (zero) by hardware, requested data is found in the EEDR Register. The EEPROM read
access takes one instruction and there is no need to poll the EERE bit. When EERE has been
set, the CPU is halted for four cycles before the next instruction is executed.
The user should poll the EEWE bit before starting the read operation. If a write operation is in
progress when new data or address is written to the EEPROM I/O Registers, the write operation
will be interrupted, and the result is undefined.

EEPROM Write During
Power-down Sleep
Mode
When entering Power-down sleep mode while an EEPROM write operation is active, the
EEPROM write operation will continue, and will complete before the write access time has
passed. However, when the write operation is completed, the crystal Oscillator continues running, and as a consequence, the device does not enter Power-down entirely. It is therefore
recommended to verify that the EEPROM write operation is completed before entering Powerdown.
Preventing EEPROM
Corruption
During periods of low VCC, the EEPROM data can be corrupted because the supply voltage is
too low for the CPU and the EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for
board level systems using the EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied.
An EEPROM data corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low. First,
a regular write sequence to the EEPROM requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the supply voltage for executing
instructions is too low.
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommendations
(one is sufficient):
1. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage.
This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD) if the operating voltage matches the detection level. If not, an external Brown-out Reset Protection circuit
can be applied.
2. Keep the AVR core in Power-down Sleep mode during periods of low VCC. This will prevent the CPU from attempting to decode and execute instructions, effectively protecting
the EEPROM Registers from unintentional writes.
Store constants in Flash memory if the ability to change memory contents from software is not
required. Flash memory can not be updated by the CPU, and will not be subject to corruption.

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 Status Register and the
data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the core from performing
general operations and calculations.
I/O Clock – clkI/O
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counters, and USI. 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.
Flash Clock – clkFLASH
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually active simultaneously with the CPU clock.
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.

1477K–AVR–08/10
Internal PLL for Fast
Peripheral Clock
Generation – clkPCK
The internal PLL in ATtiny26(L) generates a clock frequency that is 64x multiplied from nominally 1 MHz input. The source of the 1 MHz PLL input clock is the output of the internal RC
Oscillator which is automatically divided down to 1 MHz, if needed. See the Figure 21 on page
24. When the PLL reference frequency is the nominal 1 MHz, the fast peripheral clock is 64
MHz. The fast peripheral clock, or a clock prescaled from that, can be selected as the clock
source for Timer/Counter1.
The PLL is locked on the RC Oscillator and adjusting the RC Oscillator via OSCCAL Register
will adjust the fast peripheral clock at the same time. However, even if the possibly divided RC
Oscillator is taken to a higher frequency than 1 MHz, the fast peripheral clock frequency saturates at 70 MHz (worst case) and remains oscillating at the maximum frequency. It should be
noted that the PLL in this case is not locked any more with the RC Oscillator clock.
Therefore it is recommended not to take the OSCCAL adjustments to a higher frequency than 1
MHz in order to keep the PLL in the correct operating range. The internal PLL is enabled only
when the PLLE bit in the register PLLCSR is set or the PLLCK Fuse is programmed (“0”). The bit
PLOCK from the register PLLCSR is set when PLL is locked.
Both internal 1 MHz RC Oscillator and PLL are switched off in Power-down and Standby sleep
modes.

The various choices for each clocking option is given in the following sections. When the CPU
wakes up from Power-down, the selected clock source is used to time the start-up, ensuring stable oscillator operation before instruction execution starts. When the CPU starts from Reset,
there is as an additional delay allowing the power to reach a stable level before commencing
normal operation. The Watchdog Oscillator is used for timing this real-time part of the start-up
time. The number of WDT Oscillator cycles used for each time-out is shown in Table 5. The fre-
25

quency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in the Electrical

The deviced is shipped with CKSEL = “0001”, SUT = “10”, and PLLCK unprogrammed. The
default clock source setting is therefore the internal RC Oscillator with longest startup time. This
default setting ensures that all users can make their desired clock source setting using an InSystem or Parallel Programmer.
Crystal Oscillator
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an On-chip Oscillator, as shown in Figure 22. Either a quartz crystal or a
ceramic resonator may be used. The maximum frequency for resonators is 12 MHz. The
CKOPT Fuse should always be unprogrammed when using this clock option. C1 and C2 should
always be equal. The optimal value of the capacitors depends on the crystal or resonator in use,
the amount of stray capacitance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial
guidelines for choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in Table 6. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values given by the manufacturer should be used.

at start-up. They can also be used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application.
To use a 32.768 kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the Low-frequency Crystal
Oscillator must be selected by setting the PLLCK to “1” and CKSEL Fuses to “1001”. The crystal
should be connected as shown in Figure 22. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can
enable internal capacitors on XTAL1 and XTAL2, thereby removing the need for external capacitors. The internal capacitors have a nominal value of 36 pF.

Calibrated Internal The calibrated internal RC Oscillator provides a fixed 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 MHz clock. All frequencies are nominal values at 5V and 25°C. This clock may be selected as the system clock by proRC Oscillator
gramming the CKSEL Fuses as shown in Table 11. If selected, it will operate with no external
components. The CKOPT Fuse should always be unprogrammed when using this clock option.
During Reset, hardware loads the calibration byte into the OSCCAL Register and thereby automatically calibrates the RC Oscillator. At 5V, 25°C and 1.0 MHz Oscillator frequency selected,
this calibration gives a fre-quency within ± 3% of the nominal frequency. Using run-time calibration methods as described in application notes available at www.atmel.com/avr it is possible to
achieve ± 1% accuracy at any given VCC and Temperature. When this oscillator is used as the
chip clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the Watchdog Timer and for the reset
time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 109.

Device Specific Calibration Value
• Bits 7..0 – CAL7..0: Oscillator Calibration Value
Writing the calibration byte to this address will trim the internal oscillator to remove process variations from the oscillator frequency. During Reset, the 1 MHz calibration value which is located
in the signature row high byte (address 0x00) is automatically loaded into the OSCCAL Register.
If the internal RC is used at other frequencies, the calibration value must be loaded manually.
This can be done by first reading the signature row by a programmer, and then store the calibration values in the Flash or EEPROM. Then the value can be read by software and loaded into
the OSCCAl Register. When OSCCAL is zero, the lowest available frequency is chosen. Writing
non-zero values to this register will increase the frequency of the internal oscillator. Writing $FF
to the register gives the highest available frequency. The calibrated Oscillator is used to time

EEPROM and Flash access. If EEPROM or Flash is written, do not calibrate to more than 10%
above the nominal frequency. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash write may fail. Note that the
oscillator is intended for calibration to 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 MHz. Tuning to other values is not
guaranteed, as indicated in Table 13.

To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in Figure
24. To run the device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be programmed to “0000”
and PLLCK to “1”. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable an internal 36 pF
capacitor between XTAL1 and GND.

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 behaviour. It is required to ensure that the
MCU is kept in reset during such changes in the clock frequency.

There is an internal PLL that provides nominally 64 MHz clock rate locked to the RC Oscillator
for the use of the Peripheral Timer/Counter1 and for the system clock source. When selected as
a system clock source, by programming (“0”) the fuse PLLCK, it is divided by four. When this
option is used, the CKSEL3..0 must be set to “0001”. This clocking option can be used only
when operating between 4.5 - 5.5V to guaratee safe operation. The system clock frequency will

System Control
and Reset
The ATtiny26(L) provides four sources of reset:
• Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on Reset
threshold (VPOT).
• External Reset. To use the PB7/RESET pin as an External Reset, instead of I/O pin, unprogram
(“1”) the RSTDISBL Fuse. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for
more than 500 ns.
• Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog timer period expires and the Watchdog is
enabled.
• Brown-out Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Brown-out Reset
threshold (VBOT).
During reset, all I/O Registers are then set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from address $000. The instruction placed in address $000 must be an RJMP – Relative
Jump – instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an interrupt
source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these
locations. Figure 25 shows the reset logic for the ATtiny26(L). Table 16 shows the timing and
electrical parameters of the reset circuitry for ATtiny26(L).

1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOT (falling)
2. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where
this is the case, the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the production test. This guarantees that a Brown-out Reset will occur before VCC drops to a voltage where correct
operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is performed using
BODLEVEL=1 for ATtiny26L and BODLEVEL=0 for ATtiny26. BODLEVEL=1 is not applicable
for ATtiny26.
See start-up times from reset from “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 23. When the
CPU wakes up from Power-down, only the clock counting part of the start-up time is used. The
Watchdog Oscillator is used for timing the real-time part of the start-up time.
Power-on Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip Detection circuit. The detection level
is defined in Table 16 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 detect a failure in supply voltage.
The Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is reset from Power-on. Reaching the
Power-on Reset threshold voltage invokes a delay counter, which determines the delay, for
which the device is kept in RESET after VCC rise. The time-out period of the delay counter can
be defined by the user through the CKSEL Fuses. The different selections for the delay period
are presented in “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 23. The RESET signal is activated
again, without any delay, when the VCC decreases below detection level.

Brown-out
Detection
ATtiny26(L) has an On-chip Brown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the VCC level during the operation. The BOD circuit can be enabled/disabled by the fuse BODEN. When the BOD
is enabled (BODEN programmed), and VCC decreases below the trigger level, the Brown-out
Reset is immediately activated. When VCC increases above the trigger level, the Brown-out
Reset is deactivated after a delay. The delay is defined by the user in the same way as the delay
of POR signal, in Table 29. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by the fuse
BODLEVEL to be 2.7V (BODLEVEL unprogrammed), or 4.0V (BODLEVEL programmed). The
trigger level has a hysteresis of 50 mV to ensure spike free Brown-out Detection.
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in VCC if the voltage stays below the trigger level for longer than tBOD given in Table 16.

Power
Management
and Sleep
Modes
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.
To enter any of the four sleep modes, the SE bit in MCUCR must be written to logic one and a
SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM1, and SM0 bits in the MCUCR Register select
which sleep mode (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power Down, or Stand-by) will be activated by
the SLEEP instruction. See Table 17 for a summary. 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, it 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.
Table 19 on page 39 presents the different clock systems in the ATtiny26, and their distribution.
The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode.

Idle Mode
Description
1. When changing the ISC10/ISC00 bits, INT0 must be disabled by clearing its Interrupt Enable
bit in the GIMSK Register. Otherwise an interrupt can occur when the bits are changed.
When the SM1..0 bits are written to “00”, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle
mode, stopping the CPU but allowing Analog Comparator, ADC, USI, Timer/Counters, Watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and
clkFLASH, 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 and USI Start and Overflow interrupts. 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. This will reduce
power consumption in Idle mode. If the ADC is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when
this mode is entered.
ADC Noise
Reduction Mode
When the SM1..0 bits are written to “01”, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter ADC
Noise Reduction mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the External Interrupts, the USI
start condition detection, and the Watchdog to continue operating (if enabled). This sleep mode
basically halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkFLASH, 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. Apart form the
ADC Conversion Complete interrupt, only an External Reset, a Watchdog Reset, a Brown-out
Reset, USI start condition interrupt, an EEPROM ready interrupt, an External Level Interrupt on
INT0, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU from ADC Noise Reduction mode.
Power-down Mode When the SM1..0 bits are written to “10”, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Powerdown mode. In this mode, the External Oscillator is stopped, while the External Interrupts, the
USI start condition detection, and the Watchdog continue operating (if enabled). Only an External Reset, a Watchdog Reset, a Brown-out Reset, USI start condition interrupt, an External
Level Interrupt on INT0, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only.
When waking up from Power-down mode, there is a delay from the wake-up condition occurs
until the wake-up becomes effective. This allows the clock to restart and become stable after
having been stopped. The wake-up period is defined by the same CKSEL Fuses that define the
reset time-out period, as described in “Clock Sources” on page 25.
Note that if a level triggered external interrupt or pin change interrupt is used from Power-down
mode, the changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. This makes the MCU
less sensitive to noise.
38
ATtiny26(L)
1477K–AVR–08/10
ATtiny26(L)
If the wake-up condition disappears before the MCU wakes up and starts to execute, e.g., a low
level on INT0 is not held long enough, the interrupt causing the wake-up will not be executed.
Standby Mode
When the SM1..0 bits are “11” and an External Crystal/Resonator clock option is selected, the
SLEEP instruction forces the MCU into the Standby mode. This mode is identical to Power-down
with the exception that the Oscillator is kept running. From Standby mode, the device wakes up
in only six clock cycles.

Minimizing Power
Consumption
There are several issues 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.
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. Refer to “Analog to Digital Converter” on page 94 for
details on ADC operation.
Analog Comparator
When entering Idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not used. When entering
ADC Noise Reduction mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled. In the other sleep
modes, the Analog Comparator is automatically disabled. However, if the Analog Comparator is
set up to use the Internal Voltage Reference as input, the Analog Comparator should be disabled in all sleep modes. Otherwise, the Internal Voltage Reference will be enabled,
independent of sleep mode. Refer to “Analog Comparator” on page 91 for details on how to configure the Analog Comparator.
Brown-out Detector
If the Brown-out Detector is not needed in the application, this module should be turned off. If the
Brown-out Detector is enabled by the BODEN Fuse, 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 “Brown-out Detection” on page 35 for details on how to
configure the Brown-out Detector.
Internal Voltage
Reference
The Internal Voltage Reference (see Table 20) will be enabled when needed by the Brown-out
Detector, the Analog Comparator or the ADC. If these modules are disabled as described in the
sections above, the Internal Voltage Reference will be disabled and it will not be consuming
power. When turned on again, the user must allow the reference to start up before the output is
used. If the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately.

Watchdog Timer
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, this 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 Timer” on page 78 for details on how to configure the Watchdog Timer.
Port Pins
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The
most important thing is then to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where
the both the I/O clock (clkI/O) and the ADC clock (clkADC) are 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 “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 45 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.

I/O Ports
Introduction
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, except reset, 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 Figure 31.

"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. The physical I/O Registers and bit locations are listed in “Register Description for I/O Ports” on page 56.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register
– PORTx, Data Direction Register – DDRx, 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.
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 “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page
41. 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” on page 46. Refer to the individual module sections for a full description of the alternate functions.
Note that 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.
Ports as General
Digital I/O
The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with optional internal pull-ups. Figure 32 shows a functional
description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.

1. WPx, WDx, RRx, RPx, and RDx are common to all pins within the same port. clkI/O, SLEEP,
and PUD are common to all ports.
Each port pin consists of 3 Register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in “Register
Description for I/O Ports” on page 56, 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 logic one,
Pxn is configured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is configured as an input
pin.
If PORTxn is written logic one 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 logic zero or the pin has to
be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes
active, even if no clocks are running.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port pin is driven
high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an output pin, the port
pin is driven low (zero).
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output
low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10) must occur. Normally, the pull-up enabled state is fully
acceptable, as a high-impedant environment will not notice the difference between a strong high
driver and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR Register can be set to
disable all pull-ups in all ports.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user
must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn}
= 0b11) as an intermediate step.

Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the
PINxn Register Bit. As shown in Figure 32, 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. Figure 33 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 Figure 34. 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 one system clock period.

The following code example shows how to set port B pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define
the port pins from 4 to 7 as input with pull-ups assigned to port pins 6 and 7. 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.

Note:
Digital Input Enable
and Sleep Modes
1. For the assembly program, two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from pullups are set on pins 0, 1, 6, and 7, until the direction bits are correctly set, defining bit 2 and 3
as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as strong high drivers.
As shown in Figure 32, 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, Standby mode, and ADC Noise Reduction 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” on page 46.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an Asynchronous External Interrupt pin configured as
“Interrupt on a 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 modes, as the clamping in these sleep modes produces the requested
logic change.

1477K–AVR–08/10
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 pullup.
In this case, the pullup will be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is
important, it is recommended to use an external pullup or pulldown. 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.
Alternate Port
Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure 35 shows
how the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 32 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.

• Bit 6 – PUD: Pull-up Disable
When this bit is set (one), the pull-ups in the I/O ports are disabled even if the DDxn and
PORTxn Registers are configured to enable the pull-ups ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01). See “Configuring the Pin” on page 42 for more details about this feature.
Alternate Functions of
Port A
Port A has an alternate functions as analog inputs for the ADC and Analog Comparator and pin
change interrupt as shown in Table 23. If some Port A pins are configured as outputs, it is
essential that these do not switch when a conversion is in progress. This might corrupt the result
of the conversion. The ADC is described in “Analog to Digital Converter” on page 94. Analog
Comparator is described in “Analog Comparator” on page 91. Pin change interrupt triggers on
pins PA7, PA6 and PA3 if interrupt is enabled and it is not masked by the alternate functions
even if the pin is configured as an output. See details from “Pin Change Interrupt” on page 62.

digital converter.
XTAL2: Chip Clock Oscillator pin 2. Used as clock pin for all chip clock sources except internal
calibrateble RC Oscillator, external clock and PLL clock. When used as a clock pin, the pin can
not be used as an I/O pin. When using internal calibratable RC Oscillator, External clock or PLL
clock as Chip clock sources, PB5 serves as an ordinary I/O pin.
PCINT1: Pin Change Interrupt 1 pin. Pin change interrupt is enabled on pin when global interrupt
is enabled, pin change interrupt is enabled and the alternate functions do not mask the interrupt.

in SLEEP modes, if the pin change interrupt is enabled and not masked by the alternate
functions.
• OC1B/PCINT0 – Port B, Bit 3
OC1B: Output Compare match output: The PB3 pin can serve as an output for the
Timer/Counter1 compare match B. The PB3 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB3 set

OC1B: Inverted Timer/Counter1 PWM Output B: The PB2 pin can serve as an inverted output
for the Timer/Counter1 PWM mode if USI is not enabled. The PB2 pin has to be configured as
an output (DDB2 set (one)) to serve this function.

clocks SCK/SCL. Digital input is enabled on pin PB2 also in SLEEP modes, if the pin change
interrupt is enabled and not masked by the alternate functions.
• DO/OC1A/PCINT0 – Port B, Bit 1
DO: Data Output in USI Three-wire mode. Data output (DO) overrides PORTB1 value and it is
driven to the port when the data direction bit DDB1 is set (one). However the PORTB1 bit still
controls the pullup, enabling pullup if direction is input and PORTB1 is set(one).
OC1A: Output Compare match output: The PB1 pin can serve as an output for the
Timer/Counter1 compare match A. The PB1 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB1 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1B pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function if not used in programming or USI.

• DI/SDA/OC1A/PCINT0 – Port B, Bit 0
DI: Data Input in USI Three-wire mode. USI Three-wire mode does not override normal port
functions., so pin must be configure as an input.
SDA: Serial Data in USI Two-wire mode. Serial data pin is bi-directional and uses open-collector
output. The SDA pin is enabled by setting the pin as an output. The pin is pulled low when the
PORTB0 or USI shiftRegister is zero when DDB0 is set (one). Pull-up is disabled in USI Twowire mode.
OC1A: Inverted Timer/Counter1 PWM output A: The PB0 pin can serve as an Inverted output for
the PWM mode if not used in programming or USI. The PB0 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB0 set (one)) to serve this function.
PCINT0: Pin Change Interrupt 0 pin. Pin change interrupt is enabled on pin when global interrupt
is enabled, pin change interrupt is enabled and the alternate functions do not mask the interrupt.
The masking alternate functions are the inverted output compare match output OC1A and USI
data DI or SDA. Digital input is enabled on pin PB0 also in SLEEP modes, if the pin change
interrupt is enabled and not masked by the alternate functions. Table 27 and Table 28 relate the
alternate functions of Port B to the overriding signals shown in “Alternate Port Functions” on

ATtiny26(L)
Interrupts
Interrupt Vectors
The ATtiny26(L) provides eleven interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset
Vector, each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All the interrupts
are assigned individual enable bits which must be set (one) together with the I-bit in the Status
Register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are automatically defined as the Reset and
Interrupt vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in Table 29. The list also determines the
priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level.
RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0 etc.

Interrupt Handling
The ATtiny26(L) has two 8-bit Interrupt Mask Control Registers; GIMSK – General Interrupt
Mask Register and TIMSK – Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register.
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared (zero) and all interrupts are
disabled. The user software can set (one) the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. The I-bit is set
(one) when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
When the Program Counter is vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the
interrupt handling routine, hardware clears the corresponding flag that generated the interrupt.
Some of the interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to
be cleared.
If an interrupt condition occurs when the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared (zero), the
interrupt flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared by
software.
If one or more interrupt conditions occur when the Global Interrupt Enable bit is cleared (zero),
the corresponding interrupt flag(s) will be set and remembered until the Global Interrupt Enable
bit is set (one), and will be executed by order of priority.
Note that external level interrupt does not have a flag, and will only be remembered for as long
as the interrupt condition is active.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and
restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
Interrupt Response
Time
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles minimum. After the four clock cycles the program vector address for the actual interrupt handling
routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the Program Counter (10 bits) is pushed
onto the Stack. The vector is a relative jump to the interrupt routine, and this jump takes two
clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is
completed before the interrupt is served.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock
cycles, the Program Counter (10 bits) is popped back from the Stack. When AVR exits from an
interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction before any
pending interrupt is served. Note that the Status Register – SREG – is not handled by the AVR
hardware, neither for interrupts nor for subroutines. For the routines requiring a storage of the
SREG, this must be performed by user software.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATtiny26(L) and always reads as zero.
• Bit 6 – INT0: External Interrupt Request 0 Enable
When the INT0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external pin interrupt is enabled. The Interrupt Sense Control0 bits 1/0 (ISC01 and ISC00) in the MCU
general Control Register (MCUCR) define whether the external interrupt is activated on rising or
falling edge, on pin change, or low level of the INT0 pin. Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt
request even if INT0 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt
Request 0 is executed from program memory address $001. See also “External Interrupt” on
page 62.

When the PCIE1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the
interrupt pin change is enabled on analog pins PB[7:4], PA[7:6] and PA[3]. Unless the alternate
function masks out the interrupt, any change on the pin mentioned before will cause an interrupt.
The corresponding interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed from program memory
address $002. See also “Pin Change Interrupt” on page 62.
• Bit 4– PCIE0: Pin Change Interrupt Enable0
When the PCIE0 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the
interrupt pin change is enabled on digital pins PB[3:0]. Unless the alternate function masks out
the interrupt, any change on the pin mentioned before will cause an interrupt. The corresponding
interrupt of Pin Change Interrupt Request is executed from program memory address $002. See

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit in the ATtiny26(L) and always reads as zero.
• Bit 6 – INTF0: External Interrupt Flag0
When an event on the INT0 pin triggers an interrupt request, INTF0 becomes set (one). If the Ibit in SREG and the INT0 bit in GIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the Interrupt Vector at
address $001. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed. Alternatively, the flag
can be cleared by writing a logical one to it. The flag is always cleared when INT0 is configured
as level interrupt.
• Bit 5 – PCIF: Pin Change Interrupt Flag
When an event on pins PB[7:0], PA[7:6], or PA[3] triggers an interrupt request, PCIF becomes
set (one). PCIE1 enables interrupt from analog pins PB[7:4], PA[7:6], and PA[3]. PCIE0 enables
interrupt on digital pins PB[3:0]. Note that pin change interrupt enable bits PCIE1 and PCIE0
also mask the flag if they are not set. For example, if PCIE0 is cleared, a pin change on PB[3:0]
does not set PCIF. If an alternate function is enabled on a pin, PCIF is masked from that individual pin. If the I-bit in SREG and the PCIE bit in GIMSK are set (one), the MCU will jump to the
Interrupt Vector at address $002. The flag is cleared when the interrupt routine is executed.
Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by writing a logical one to it. See also “Pin Change Interrupt” on page 62.

External
Interrupt
The External Interrupt is triggered by the INT0 pin. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupt will trigger even if the INT0 pin is configured as an output. This feature provides a way of generating a
software interrupt. The External Interrupt can be triggered by a falling or rising edge, a pin
change, or a low level. This is set up as indicated in the specification for the MCU Control Register – MCUCR. When the External Interrupt is enabled and is configured as level triggered, the
interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low.
The changed level is sampled twice by the Watchdog Oscillator clock, and if both these samples
have the required level, the MCU will wake up. The period of the Watchdog Oscillator is 1.0 µs
(nominal) at 3.0V and 25°C. The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage dependent as
shown in “Electrical Characteristics” on page 126.
Pin Change
Interrupt
The pin change interrupt is triggered by any change on any I/O pin of Port B and pins PA3, PA6,
and PA7, if the interrupt is enabled and alternate function of the pin does not mask out the interrupt. The bit PCIE1 in GIMSK enables interrupt from pins PB[7:4], PA[7:6], and PA[3]. PCIE0
enables interrupt on digital pins PB[3:0].
The pin change interrupt is different from other interrupts in two ways. First, pin change interrupt
enable bits PCIE1 and PCIE0 also mask the flag if they are not set. The normal operation on
most interrupts is that the flag is always active and only the execution of the interrupt is masked
by the interrupt enable.
Secondly, please note that pin change interrupt is disabled for any pin that is configured as an
alternate function. For example, no pin change interrupt is generated from pins that are configured as AREF, AIN0 or AIN1, OC1A, OC1A, OC1B, OC1B, XTAL1, or XTAL2 in a fuse selected
clock option, Timer0 clocking, or RESET function. See Table 30 for alternate functions which
mask the pin change interrupt and how the function is enabled. For example pin change interrupt on the PB0 is disabled when USI Two-wire mode or USI Three-wire mode or
Timer/Counter1 inverted output compare is enabled.
If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will trigger even if the changing pin is configured as an
output. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. Also observe that the pin
change interrupt will trigger even if the pin activity triggers another interrupt, for example the
external interrupt. This implies that one external event might cause several interrupts.
The value of the programmed fuse is “0” and unprogrammed is “1”. Each of the lines enables the
alternate function so “or” function of the lines enables the function.

Timer/Counters
The ATtiny26(L) provides two general purpose 8-bit Timer/Counters. The Timer/Counters have
separate prescaling selection from the separate prescaler. The Timer/Counter0 clock (CK) as
the clock timebase. The Timer/Counter1 has two clocking modes, a synchronous mode and an
asynchronous mode. The synchronous mode uses the system clock (CK) as the clock timebase
and asynchronous mode uses the fast peripheral clock (PCK) as the clock time base.

Figure 37 shows the Timer/Counter1 prescaler. For Timer/Counter1 the clock selections are
between PCK to PCK/16384 and stop in asynchronous mode and CK to CK/16384 and stop in
synchronous. The clock options are described in Table 34 on page 72 and the Timer/Counter1
Control Register, TCCR1B. Setting the PSR1 bit in TCCR1B Register resets the prescaler. The
PCKE bit in the PLLCSR Register enables the asynchronous mode.

Timer/Counter0
Figure 38 shows the block diagram for Timer/Counter0.
The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 can select clock source from CK, prescaled CK, or an external pin. In
addition, it can be stopped as described in the specification for the Timer/Counter0 Control Register – TCCR0. The overflow status flag is found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register –
TIFR. Control signals are found in the Timer/Counter0 Control Register – TCCR0. The interrupt
enable/disable settings for Timer/Counter0 are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register – TIMSK.
When Timer/Counter0 is externally clocked, the external signal is synchronized with the oscillator frequency of the CPU. To ensure proper sampling of the external clock, the minimum time
between two external clock transitions must be at least one internal CPU clock period. The
external clock signal is sampled on the rising edge of the internal CPU clock.
The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 features both a high resolution and a high accuracy usage with the
lower prescaling opportunities. Similarly, the high prescaling opportunities make the
Timer/Counter0 useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions with infrequent
actions.

TCNT0
The Timer/Counter0 is implemented as an up-counter with read and write access. If the
Timer/Counter0 is written and a clock source is present, the Timer/Counter0 continues counting
in the timer clock cycle following the write operation.
8-bit
Timer/Counter1
The Timer/Counter1 has two clocking modes: a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode.
The synchronous mode uses the system clock (CK) as the clock timebase and asynchronous
mode uses the fast peripheral clock (PCK) as the clock time base. The PCKE bit from the
PLLCSR Register enables the asynchronous mode when it is set (“1”). The Timer/Counter1 general operation is described in the asynchronous mode and the operation in the synchronous
mode is mentioned only if there is differences between these two modes. Figure 39 shows
Timer/Counter1 synchronization register block diagram and synchronization delays in between
registers. Note that all clock gating details are not shown in the figure. The Timer/Counter1 Register values go through the internal synchronization registers, which cause the input
synchronization delay, before affecting the counter operation. The registers TCCR1A, TCCR1B,
OCR1A, OCR1B, and OCR1C can be read back right after writing the register. The read back
values are delayed for the Timer/Counter1 (TCNT1) Register and flags (OCF1A, OCF1B, and
TOV1), because of the input and output synchronization.
This module features a high resolution and a high accuracy usage with the lower prescaling
opportunities. Timer/Counter1 can also support two accurate, high speed, 8-bit Pulse Width
Modulators using clock speeds up to 64 MHz. In this mode, Timer/Counter1 and the Output
Compare Registers serve as dual stand-alone PWMs with non-overlapping non-inverted and
inverted outputs. Refer to page 74 for a detailed description on this function. Similarly, the high
prescaling opportunities make this unit useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions
with infrequent actions.

Timer/Counter1 and the prescaler allow running the CPU from any clock source while the prescaler is operating on the fast 64 MHz PCK clock in the asynchronous mode.
Note that the system clock frequency must be lower than one half of the PCK frequency. Only
when the system clock is generated from PCK dividing that by two, the ratio of the PCK/system
clock can be exactly two. The synchronization mechanism of the asynchronous Timer/Counter1
needs at least two edges of the PCK when the system clock is high. If the frequency of the system clock is too high, it is a risk that data or control values are lost.
The following Figure 40 shows the block diagram for Timer/Counter1.

Three status flags (overflow and compare matches) are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt
Flag Register – TIFR. Control signals are found in the Timer/Counter Control Registers TCCR1A
and TCCR1B. The interrupt enable/disable settings are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt
Mask Register – TIMSK.
The Timer/Counter1 contains three Output Compare Registers, OCR1A, OCR1B, and OCR1C,
as the data source to be compared with the Timer/Counter1 contents. In normal mode the Output Compare functions are operational with all three Output Compare Registers. OCR1A
determines action on the OC1A pin (PB1), and it can generate Timer1 OC1A interrupt in normal
mode and in PWM mode. Likewise, OCR1B determines action on the OC1B pin (PB3) and it can
generate Timer1 OC1B interrupt in normal mode and in PWM mode. OCR1C holds the
Timer/Counter maximum value, i.e., the clear on compare match value. An overflow interrupt
(TOV1) is generated when Timer/Counter1 counts from $FF to $00 or from OCR1C to $00. This
function is the same for both normal and PWM mode. The inverted PWM outputs OC1A and
OC1B are not connected in normal mode.
In PWM mode, OCR1A and OCR1B provide the data values against which the Timer/Counter
value is compared. Upon compare match the PWM outputs (OC1A, OC1A, OC1B, OC1B) are
generated. In PWM mode, the Timer/Counter counts up to the value specified in the Output
Compare Register OCR1C and starts again from $00. This feature allows limiting the counter
“full” value to a specified value, lower than $FF. Together with the many prescaler options, flexible PWM frequency selection is provided. Table 37 lists clock selection and OCR1C values to
obtain PWM frequencies from 20 kHz to 250 kHz in 10 kHz steps and from 250 kHz to 500 kHz
in 50 kHz steps. Higher PWM frequencies can be obtained at the expense of resolution.

• Bit 3 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare Match 1A
Writing a logical one to this bit forces a change in the Compare Match output pin PB1 (OC1A)
according to the values already set in COM1A1 and COM1A0. If COM1A1 and COM1A0 written
in the same cycle as FOC1A, the new settings will be used. The Force Output Compare bit can
be used to change the output pin value regardless of the timer value. The automatic action programmed in COM1A1 and COM1A0 takes place as if a compare match had occurred, but no
interrupt is generated. The FOC1A bit always reads as zero. FOC1A is not in use if PWM1A bit
is set.
• Bit 2 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare Match 1B
Writing a logical one to this bit forces a change in the Compare Match output pin PB3 (OC1B)

• Bit 7..3 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny26(L) and always read as zero.
• Bit 2 – PCKE: PCK Enable
The PCKE bit change the Timer/Counter1 clock source. When it is set, the asynchronous clock
mode is enabled and fast 64 MHz PCK clock is used as Timer/Counter1 clock source. If this bit
is cleared, the synchronous clock mode is enabled, and system clock CK is used as
Timer/Counter1 clock source. This bit can be set only if PLLE bit is set. It is safe to set this bit
only when the PLL is locked i.e., the PLOCK bit is 1.
• Bit 1 – PLLE: PLL Enable
When the PLLE is set, the PLL is started and if needed internal RC Oscillator is started as a PLL
reference clock. If PLL is selected as a system clock source the value for this bit is always 1.
• Bit 0 – PLOCK: PLL Lock Detector
73
1477K–AVR–08/10
When the PLOCK bit is set, the PLL is locked to the reference clock, and it is safe to enable PCK
for Timer/Counter1. After the PLL is enabled, it takes about 64 µs/100 µs (typical/worst case) for
the PLL to lock.
Timer/Counter1
Initialization for
Asynchronous Mode
To change Timer/Counter1 to the asynchronous mode, first enable PLL, and poll the PLOCK bit
until it is set, and then set the PCKE bit.
Timer/Counter1 in
PWM Mode
When the PWM mode is selected, Timer/Counter1 and the Output Compare Register C –
OCR1C form a dual 8-bit, free-running and glitch-free PWM generator with outputs on the
PB1(OC1A) and PB3(OC1B) pins. Also inverted, non-overlapping outputs are available on pins
PB0(OC1A) and PB2(OC1B), respectively. The non-overlapping output pairs (OC1A - OC1A
and OC1B - OC1B) are never both set at the same time. This allows driving power switches
directly. The non-overlap time is one prescaled clock cycle, and the high time is one cycle
shorter than the low time.
The non-overlap time is generated by delaying the rising edge, i.e., the positive edge is one
prescaled and one PCK cycle delayed and the negative edge is one PCK cycle delayed in the
asynchronous mode. In the synchronous mode he positive edge is one prescaled and one CK
cycle delayed and the negative edge is one CK cycle delayed. The high time is also one prescaled cycle shorter in the both operation modes.

When the counter value match the contents of OCR1A and OCR1B, the OC1A and OC1B outputs are set or cleared according to the COM1A1/COM1A0 or COM1B1/COM1B0 bits in the
Timer/Counter1 Control Register A – TCCR1A, as shown in Table 35 below.
Timer/Counter1 acts as an up-counter, counting from $00 up to the value specified in the Output
Compare Register (OCR1C), and starting from $00 up again. A compare match with OC1C will
set an Overflow Interrupt Flag (TOV1) after a synchronization delay following the compare
event.

Note that in PWM mode, writing to the Output Compare Registers OCR1A or OCR1B, the data
value is first transferred to a temporary location. The value is latched into OCR1A or OCR1B
when the Timer/Counter reaches OCR1C. This prevents the occurrence of odd-length PWM
pulses (glitches) in the event of an unsynchronized OCR1A or OCR1B. See Figure 42 for an
example.

During the time between the write and the latch operation, a read from OCR1A or OCR1B will
read the contents of the temporary location. This means that the most recently written value
always will read out of OCR1A or OCR1B.
When OCR1A or OCR1B contain $00 or the top value, as specified in OCR1C Register, the output PB1(OC1A) or PB3(OC1B) is held low or high according to the settings of
COM1A1/COM1A0. This is shown in Table 36.

In PWM mode, the Timer Overflow Flag – TOV1, is set as in normal Timer/Counter mode. Timer
Overflow Interrupt1 operates exactly as in normal Timer/Counter mode, i.e., it is executed when
TOV1 is set provided that Timer Overflow Interrupt and global interrupts are enabled. This also
applies to the Timer Output Compare flags and interrupts.
The frequency of the PWM will be Timer Clock 1 Frequency divided by (OCR1C value + 1). See
the following equation:
f TCK1
f PWM = -----------------------------------( OCR1C + 1 )
Resolution shows how many bit is required to express the value in the OCR1C Register. It is calculated by following equation
ResolutionPWM = log2(OCR1C + 1)

Watchdog
Timer
The Watchdog Timer is clocked from a separate On-chip Oscillator which runs at 1 MHz. This is
the typical value at VCC = 5V. See characterization data for typical values at other VCC levels. By
controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted from 16
to 2048 ms. The WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer. Eight different clock cycle periods can be selected to determine the reset period. If the reset period expires
without another Watchdog Reset, the ATtiny26(L) resets and executes from the Reset Vector.
For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to page 35.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog, a special turn-off sequence must be followed when the Watchdog is disabled. Refer to the description of the Watchdog Timer Control
Register for details.

• Bits 7..5 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATtiny26(L) and will always read as zero.
• Bit 4 – WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable
This bit must be set when the WDE bit is written to logic zero. Otherwise, the Watchdog will not
be disabled. Once written to one, hardware will clear this bit after four clock cycles. Refer to the
description of the WDE bit for a Watchdog disable procedure. In Safety Level 1 and 2, this bit
must also be set when changing the prescaler bits.
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable
When the WDE is set (one) the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is cleared (zero) the
Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can be cleared only when the WDCE bit is set(one).
To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be followed:
1. In the same operation, write a logical one to WDCE and WDE. A logical one must be written to WDE even though it is set to one before the disable operation starts.
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write a logical 0 to WDE. This disables the Watchdog.

that the reset period will be in accordance with the Watchdog Timer prescale settings. If the
Watchdog Timer is enabled without reset, the Watchdog Timer may not start counting from
zero.

Universal Serial
Interface – USI
The Universal Serial Interface, or USI, provides the basic hardware resources needed for serial
communication. Combined with a minimum of control software, the USI allows significantly
higher transfer rates and uses less code space than solutions based on software only. Interrupts
are included to minimize the processor load. The main features of the USI are:
• Two-wire Synchronous Data Transfer (Master or Slave, fSCLmax = fCK/16)
• Three-wire Synchronous Data Transfer (Master, fSCKmax = fCK/2, Slave fSCKmax = fCK/4)
• Data Received Interrupt
• Wakeup from Idle Mode
• In Two-wire Mode: Wake-up from All Sleep Modes, Including Power-down Mode
• Two-wire Start Condition Detector with Interrupt Capability
Overview
A simplified block diagram of the USI is shown on Figure 44.

The 8-bit Shift Register is directly accessible via the data bus and contains the incoming and
outgoing data. The register has no buffering so the data must be read as quickly as possible to
ensure that no data is lost. The most significant bit is connected to one of two output pins
depending of the wire mode configuration. A transparent latch is inserted between the serial register output and output pin, which delays the change of data output to the opposite clock edge of
the data input sampling. The serial input is always sampled from the Data Input (DI) pin independent of the configuration.
The 4-bit counter can be both read and written via the data bus, and can generate an overflow
interrupt. Both the serial register and the counter are clocked simultaneously by the same clock
source. This allows the counter to count the number of bits received or transmitted and generate
an interrupt when the transfer is complete. Note that when an external clock source is selected
the counter counts both clock edges. In this case the counter counts the number of edges, and
not the number of bits. The clock can be selected from three different sources: the SCK pin,
Timer 0 overflow, or from software.
The Two-wire clock control unit can generate an interrupt when a start condition is detected on
the Two-wire bus. It can also generate wait states by holding the clock pin low after a start condition is detected, or after the counter overflows.

USIDR
The USI uses no buffering of the serial register, i.e., when accessing the Data Register (USIDR)
the serial register is accessed directly. If a serial clock occurs at the same cycle the register is
written, the register will contain the value written and no shift is performed. A (left) shift operation
is performed depending of the USICS1..0 bits setting. The shift operation can be controlled by
an external clock edge, by a Timer/Counter0 overflow, or directly by software using the USICLK
strobe bit. Note that even when no wire mode is selected (USIWM1..0 = 0) both the external
data input (DI/SDA) and the external clock input (SCK/SCL) can still be used by the Shift
Register.
The output pin in use, DO or SDA depending on the wire mode, is connected via the output latch
to the most significant bit (bit 7) of the Data Register. The output latch is open (transparent) during the first half of a serial clock cycle when an external clock source is selected (USICS1 = 1),
and constantly open when an internal clock source is used (USICS1 = 0). The output will be
changed immediately when a new MSB written as long as the latch is open. The latch ensures
that data input is sampled and data output is changed on opposite clock edges.
Note that the corresponding Data Direction Register (DDRB2/1) to the pin must be set to one for
enabling data output from the Shift Register.

The Status Register contains interrupt flags, line status flags and the counter value.
Note that doing a Read-Modify-Write operation on USISR Register, i.e., using the SBI or CBI
instructions, will clear pending interrupt flags. It is recommended that register contents is altered
by using the OUT instruction only.
• Bit 7 – USISIF: Start Condition Interrupt Flag
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USISIF flag is set (to one) when a start condition is
detected. When output disable mode or Three-wire mode is selected and (USICSx = 0b11 &
USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 0b10 & USICLK = 0), any edge on the SCK pin sets the flag.
An interrupt will be generated when the flag is set while the USISIE bit in USICR and the Global
Interrupt Enable Flag are set. The flag will only be cleared by writing a logical one to the USISIF
bit. Clearing this bit will release the start detection hold of SCL in Two-wire mode.
A start condition interrupt will wakeup the processor from all four sleep modes.
• Bit 6 – USIOIF: Counter Overflow Interrupt Flag
This flag is set (one) when the 4-bit counter overflows (i.e., at the transition from 15 to 0). An
interrupt will be generated when the flag is set while the USIOIE bit in USICR and the Global
Interrupt Enable Flag are set. The flag will only be cleared if a one is written to the USIOIF bit.
Clearing this bit will release the counter overflow hold of SCL in Two-wire mode.
A counter overflow interrupt will wakeup the processor from Idle sleep mode.
81
1477K–AVR–08/10
• Bit 5 – USIPF: Stop Condition Flag
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USIPF flag is set (one) when a stop condition is detected.
The flag is cleared by writing a one to this bit. Note that this is not an interrupt flag. This signal is
useful when implementing Two-wire bus master arbitration.
• Bit 4 – USIDC: Data Output Collision
This bit is logical one when bit 7 in the Shift Register differs from the physical pin value. The flag
is only valid when Two-wire mode is used. This signal is useful when implementing Two-wire
bus master arbitration.
• Bits 3..0 – USICNT3..0: Counter Value
These bits reflect the current 4-bit counter value. The 4-bit counter value can directly be read or
written by the CPU.
The 4-bit counter increments by one for each clock generated either by the external clock edge
detector, by a Timer/Counter0 overflow, or by software using USICLK or USITC strobe bits. The
clock source depends of the setting of the USICS1..0 bits. For external clock operation a special
feature is added that allows the clock to be generated by writing to the USITC strobe bit. This
feature is enabled by write a one to the USICLK bit while setting an external clock source
(USICS1 = 1).
Note that even when no wire mode is selected (USIWM1..0 = 0) the external clock input
(SCK/SCL) are can still be used by the counter.

• Bit 7 – USISIE: Start Condition Interrupt Enable
Setting this bit to one enables the Start Condition detector interrupt. If there is a pending interrupt when the USISIE and the Global Interrupt Enable Flag is set to one, this will immediately be
executed. Refer to the description of “Bit 7 – USISIF: Start Condition Interrupt Flag” on page 81
for further details.
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USISIF flag is set (to one) when a start condition is
detected. When output disable mode or Three-wire mode is selected and (USICSx = 0b11 &
USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 0b10 & USICLK = 0), any edge on the SCK pin sets the flag.
• Bit 6 – USIOIE: Counter Overflow Interrupt Enable

the USIOIE and the Global Interrupt Enable Flag is set to one, this will immediately be executed.

• Bit 5..4 – USIWM1..0: Wire Mode
These bits set the type of wire mode to be used. Basically only the function of the outputs are
affected by these bits. Data and clock inputs are not affected by the mode selected and will
always have the same function. The counter and Shift Register can therefore be clocked
externally, and data input sampled, even when outputs are disabled. The relations between
USIWM1..0 and the USI operation is summarized in Table 39.
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USISIF flag is set (to one) when a start condition is
detected. When output disable mode or Three-wire mode is selected and (USICSx = 0b11 &
USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 0b10 & USICLK = 0), any edge on the SCK pin sets the flag.

Three-wire mode. Uses DO, DI, and SCK pins.
The Data Output (DO) pin overrides the PORTB1 bit in the PORTB
Register in this mode. However, the corresponding DDRB1 bit still
controls the data direction. When the port pin is set as input
(DDRB1 = 0) the pins pull-up is controlled by the PORTB1 bit.
The Data Input (DI) and Serial Clock (SCK) pins do not affect the
normal port operation. When operating as master, clock pulses are
software generated by toggling the PORTB2 bit while DDRB2 is set to
output. The USITC bit in the USICR Register can be used for this
purpose.

Two-wire mode. Uses SDA (DI) and SCL (SCK) pins(1).
The Serial Data (SDA) and the Serial Clock (SCL) pins are bidirectional and uses open-collector output drives. The output drivers
are enabled by the DDRB0/2 bit in the DDRB Register.
When the output driver is enabled for the SDA pin, the output driver
will force the line SDA low if the output of the Shift Register or the
PORTB0 bit in the PORTB Register is zero. Otherwise the SDA line
will not be driven (i.e., it is released). When the SCL pin output driver is
enabled the SCL line will be forced low if the PORTB2 bit in the
PORTB Register is zero, or by the start detector. Otherwise the SCL
line will not be driven.
The SCL line is held low when a start detector detects a start condition
and the output is enabled. Clearing the start condition flag (USISIF)
releases the line. The SDA and SCL pin inputs is not affected by
enabling this mode. Pull-ups on the SDA and SCL port pin are
disabled in Two-wire mode.

Two-wire mode. Uses SDA and SCL pins.
Same operation as for the Two-wire mode described above, except
that the SCL line is also held low when a counter overflow occurs, and
is held low until the Counter Overflow Flag (USIOIF) is cleared.
Note:
Description
1. The DI and SCK pins are renamed to Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) respectively to
avoid confusion between the modes of operation.

1477K–AVR–08/10
• Bit 3..2 – USICS1..0: Clock Source Select
These bits set the clock source for the Shift Register and counter. The data output latch ensures
that the output is changed at the opposite edge of the sampling of the data input (DI/SDA) when
using external clock source (SCK/SCL). When software strobe or Timer0 overflow clock option is
selected the output latch is transparent and therefore the output is changed immediately. Clearing the USICS1..0 bits enables software strobe option. When using this option, writing a one to
the USICLK bit clocks both the Shift Register and the counter. For external clock source
(USICS1 = 1), the USICLK bit is no longer used as a strobe, but selects between external clocking, and software clocking by the USITC strobe bit.
Table 40 shows the relationship between the USICS1..0 and USICLK setting and clock source
used for the Shift Register and the 4-bit counter.

• Bit 1 – USICLK: Clock Strobe
Writing a one to this bit location strobes the Shift Register to shift one step and the counter to
increment by one provided that the USICS1..0 bits are set to zero and by doing so selects the
software clock strobe option. The output will change immediately when the clock strobe is executed i.e. in the same instruction cycle. The value shifted into the Shift Register is sampled the
previous instruction cycle. The bit will be read as zero.
When an external clock source is selected (USICS1 = 1), the USICLK function is changed from
a clock strobe to a Clock Select Register. Setting the USICLK bit in this case will select the
USITC strobe bit as clock source for the 4-bit counter (see Table 40).
• Bit 0 – USITC: Toggle Clock Port Pin
Writing a one to this bit location toggles the PORTB2 (SCK/SCL) value from either from 0 to 1, or
1 to 0. The toggling is independent of the DDRB2 setting, but if the PORTB2 value is to be
shown on the pin the DDRB2 must be set as output (to one). This feature allows easy clock generation when implementing master devices. The bit will be read as zero.
When an external clock source is selected (USICS1 = 1) and the USICLK bit is set to one, writing to the USITC strobe bit will directly clock the 4-bit counter. This allows an early detection of
when the transfer is done when operating as a master device.

Three-wire Mode
The USI Three-wire mode is compliant to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) mode 0 and 1, but
does not have the slave select (SS) pin functionality. However, this feature can be implemented
in software if necessary. Pin names used by this mode are: DI, DO, and SCK.

Figure 45 shows two USI units operating in Three-wire mode, one as master and one as slave.
The two shift Registers are interconnected in such way that after eight SCK clocks, the data in
each register are interchanged. The same clock also increments the USI’s 4-bit counter. The
Counter Overflow (interrupt) flag, or USIOIF, can therefore be used to determine when a transfer
is completed. The clock is generated by the master device software by toggling the PB2 pin via
the PORTB Register or by writing a one to the USITC bit in USICR.

The Three-wire mode timing is shown in Figure 46. At the top of the figure is a SCK cycle reference. One bit is shifted into the USI Shift Register (USIDR) for each of these cycles. The SCK
timing is shown for both external clock modes. In external clock mode 0 (USICS0 = 0), DI is
sampled at positive edges, and DO is changed (Data Register is shifted by one) at negative
edges. External clock mode 1 (USICS0 = 1) uses the opposite edges versus mode 0, i.e., sam85
1477K–AVR–08/10
ples data at negative and changes the output at positive edges. The USI clock modes
corresponds to the SPI data mode 0 and 1.
Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 46.), a bus transfer involves the following steps:
1. The slave device and master device sets up its data output and, depending on the protocol used, enables its output driver (mark A and B). The output is set up by writing the
data to be transmitted to the serial Data Register. Enabling of the output is done by setting the corresponding bit in the port data direction register (DDRB2). Note that point A
and B does not have any specific order, but both must be at least one half SCK cycle
before point C where the data is sampled. This must be done to ensure that the data
setup requirement is satisfied. The 4-bit counter is reset to zero.
2. The master generates a clock pulse by software toggling the SCK line twice (C and D).
The bit value on the slave and master’s data input (DI) pin is sampled by the USI on the
first edge (C), and the data output is changed on the opposite edge (D). The 4-bit counter
will count both edges.
3. Step 2. is repeated eight times for a comlpete register (byte) transfer.
4. After eight clock pulses (i.e., 16 clock edges) the counter will overflow and indicate that
the transfer is completed. The data bytes transferred must now be processed before a
new transfer can be initiated. The overflow interrupt will wake up the processor if it is set
to Idle mode. Depending of the protocol used the slave device can now set its output to
high impedance.
SPI Master Operation
Example
The following code demonstrates how to use the USI module as a SPI master:
SPITransfer:

r16,(1<<USIOIF)
out
USISR,r16

SPITransfer_loop:

ret
The code is size optimized using only 8 instructions (+ ret). The code example assumes that the
DO and SCK pins are enabled as output in the DDRB Register. The value stored in register r16
prior to the function is called is transferred to the slave device, and when the transfer is completed the data received from the slave is stored back into the r16 register.
The second and third instructions clears the USI Counter Overflow Flag and the USI counter
value. The fourth and fifth instruction set Three-wire mode, positive edge Shift Register clock,
count at USITC strobe, and toggle SCK (PORTB2). The loop is repeated 16 times.

Note that the first two instructions is for initialization only and needs only to be executed
once.These instructions sets Three-wire mode and positive edge Shift Register clock. The loop
is repeated until the USI Counter Overflow Flag is set.
Two-wire Mode
The USI Two-wire mode is compliant to the Inter IC (TWI) bus protocol, but without slew rate limiting on outputs and input noise filtering. Pin names used by this mode are SCL and SDA.

Figure 47 shows two USI units operating in Two-wire mode, one as master and one as slave. It
is only the physical layer that is shown since the system operation is highly dependent of the
communication scheme used. The main differences between the master and slave operation at
this level, is the serial clock generation which is always done by the master, and only the slave
uses the clock control unit. Clock generation must be implemented in software, but the shift
operation is done automatically by both devices. Note that only clocking on negative edge for
shifting data is of practical use in this mode. The slave can insert wait states at start or end of
transfer by forcing the SCL clock low. This means that the master must always check if the SCL
line was actually released after it has generated a positive edge.
Since the clock also increments the counter, a counter overflow can be used to indicate that the
transfer is completed. The clock is generated by the master by toggling the PB2 pin via the
PORTB Register.
The data direction is not given by the physical layer. A protocol, like the one used by the TWIbus, must be implemented to control the data flow.

Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 48.), a bus transfer involves the following steps:
1. The a start condition is generated by the master by forcing the SDA low line while the
SCL line is high (A). SDA can be forced low either by writing a zero to bit 7 of the Shift
Register, or by setting the PORTB0 bit to zero. Note that DDRB0 must be set to one for
the output to be enabled. The slave device’s start detector logic (Figure 49.) detects the
start condition and sets the USISIF flag. The flag can generate an interrupt if necessary.
2. In addition, the start detector will hold the SCL line low after the master has forced an
negative edge on this line (B). This allows the slave to wake up from sleep or complete
its other tasks, before setting up the Shift Register to receive the address by clearing the
start condition flag and reset the counter.
3. The master set the first bit to be transferred and releases the SCL line (C). The slave
samples the data and shift it into the serial register at the positive edge of the SCL clock.
4. After eight bits are transferred containing slave address and data direction (read or
write), the slave counter overflows and the SCL line is forced low (D). If the slave is not
the one the master has addressed it releases the SCL line and waits for a new start
condition.
5. If the slave is addressed it holds the SDA line low during the acknowledgment cycle
before holding the SCL line low again (i.e., the Counter Register must be set to 14 before
releasing SCL at (D)). Depending of the R/W bit the master or slave enables its output. If
the bit is set, a master read operation is in progress (i.e., the slave drives the SDA line)
The slave can hold the SCL line low after the acknowledge (E).
6. Multiple bytes can now be transmitted, all in same direction, until a stop condition is given
by the master (F). Or a new start condition is given.
If the slave is not able to receive more data it does not acknowledge the data byte it has last
received. When the master does a read operation it must terminate the operation by force the
acknowledge bit low after the last byte transmitted.

Start Condition
Detector
The start condition detector is shown in Figure 49. The SDA line is delayed (in the range of 50 to
300 ns) to ensure valid sampling of the SCL line. The start condition detector is only enabled in
Two-wire mode.
When Two-wire mode is selected, the USISIF flag is set (to one) when a start condition is
detected. When output disable mode or Three-wire mode is selected and (USICSx = 0b11 &
USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 0b10 & USICLK = 0), any edge on the SCK pin sets the flag.
The start condition detector is working asynchronously and can therefore wake up the processor
from the Power-down sleep mode. However, the protocol used might have restrictions on the
SCL hold time. Therefore, when using this feature in this case the oscillator start-up time set by
the CKSEL Fuses (see “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 23) must also be taken
into the consideration. Refer to the description of “Bit 7 – USISIF: Start Condition Interrupt Flag”
on page 81 for further details.
Alternative USI
Usage
When the USI unit is not used for serial communication, it can be set up to do alternative tasks
due to its flexible design.
Half-duplex
Asynchronous Data
Transfer
By utilizing the Shift Register in Three-wire mode, it is possible to implement a more compact
and higher performance UART than by software only.
4-bit Counter
The 4-bit counter can be used as a stand-alone counter with overflow interrupt. Note that if the
counter is clocked externally, both clock edges will generate an increment.
12-bit Timer/Counter
Combining the USI 4-bit counter and Timer/Counter0 allows them to be used as a 12-bit
counter.
Edge Triggered
External Interrupt
By setting the counter to maximum value (F) it can function as an additional external interrupt.
The overflow flag and interrupt enable bit are then used for the external interrupt. This feature is
selected by the USICS1 bit.
Software Interrupt
The counter overflow interrupt can be used as a software interrupt triggered by a clock strobe.

the negative pin PA7 (AIN1), the Analog Comparator Output, ACO is set (one). The comparator’s output 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 in the Figure 50.

The ATtiny26(L) features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to an
11-channel Analog Multiplexer which allows eight differential voltage input combinations or 11
single-ended voltage inputs constructed from seven pins from Port A and four pins from Port B.
Seven of the differential inputs are equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing amplification steps of 0 dB (1x) and 26 dB (20x) on the differential input voltage before the A/D
conversion. There are four groups of three differential analog input channel selections. All input
channels in each group share a common negative terminal, while another ADC input can be
selected as the positive input terminal. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND).
The ADC contains a Sample and Hold Amplifier which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC
is held at a constant level during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown in Figure 51.
The ADC has an analog supply voltage pin, AVCC. The voltage on AVCC must not differ more
than ±0.3V from VCC. See the paragraph “ADC Noise Canceling Techniques” on page 105 on
how to connect these pins.
An internal reference voltage of nominally 2.56V is provided On-chip, and this reference may be
externally decoupled at the AREF pin by a capacitor.

Operation
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approximation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on
the AREF pin minus 1 LSB. Optionally, AVCC or and internal 2.56V reference voltage may be
connected to the AREF pin by writing to the REFS bits in ADMUX. The internal voltage reference may thus be decoupled by an external capacitor at the AREF pin to improve noise
immunity.
The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX bits in
ADMUX. Any of the 11 ADC input pins ADC10..0, as well as GND and a fixed bandgap voltage
reference of nominally 1.18V (VBG), can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. A selection of ADC input pins can be selected as positive and negative inputs to the differential gain
amplifier.
If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the voltage difference
between the selected input channel pair by the selected gain factor. Note that the voltage on the
positive input terminal must be higher than on the negative input terminal, otherwise the gain
95
1477K–AVR–08/10
stage will saturate at 0V (GND). This amplified value then becomes the analog input to the ADC.
If single ended channels are used, the gain amplifier is bypassed altogether.
The ADC can operate in two modes – Single Conversion and Free Running mode. In Single
Conversion mode, each conversion will have to be initiated by the user. In Free Running mode,
the ADC is constantly sampling and updating the ADC Data Register. The ADFR bit in ADCSR
selects between the two available modes.
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSR. Voltage reference and
input channel selections will not go into 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.
A conversion is started by writing a logical one to the ADC Start Conversion bit, ADSC. This bit
stays high as long as the conversion is in progress and will be set to zero 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.
The ADC generates a 10-bit result, which is presented in the ADC Data Registers, ADCH and
ADCL. By default, the result is presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left
adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADMUX.
If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read
ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then ADCH, to ensure that the content of the data
registers belongs to the same conversion. Once ADCL is read, ADC access to data registers is
blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is
read, neither register is updated and the result from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read,
ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL Registers is re-enabled.
The ADC has its own interrupt which can be triggered when a conversion completes. When ADC
access to the Data Registers is prohibited between reading of ADCH and ADCL, the interrupt
will trigger even if the result is lost.

ADC CLOCK SOURCE
The successive approximation circuitry requires an input clock frequency between 50 kHz and
200 kHz. If a lower resolution than 10 bits is needed, the input clock frequency to the ADC can
be as high as 1000 kHz to get a higher sample rate.
96
ATtiny26(L)
1477K–AVR–08/10
ATtiny26(L)
The ADC module contains a prescaler, which divides the system clock to an acceptable ADC
clock frequency.
The ADPS bits in ADCSR are used to generate a proper ADC clock input frequency from any
chip clock frequency above 100 kHz. The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is
switched on by setting the ADEN bit in ADCSR. The prescaler keeps running for as long as the
ADEN bit is set, and is continuously reset when ADEN is low.
When initiating a conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSR, the conversion starts at the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle. If differential channels are selected, the conversion
will only start at every other rising edge of the ADC clock cycle after ADEN was set.
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. In certain situations, the ADC needs more
clock cycles to initialization and minimize offset errors. Extended conversions take 25 ADC clock
cycles and occur as the first conversion after the ADC is switched on (ADEN in ADCSR is set).
Special care should be taken when changing differential channels. Once a differential channel
has been selected, the gain stage may take as much as 125 µs to stabilize to the new value.
Thus conversions should not be started within the first 125 µs after selecting a new differential
channel. Alternatively, conversions results obtained within this period should be discarded. The
same settling time should be observed for the first differential conversion after changing ADC
reference (by changing the REFS1:0 bits in ADMUX).
The actual sample-and-hold takes place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of a normal conversion and 13.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of an extended conversion. When a conversion is
complete, the result is written to the ADC Data Registers, and ADIF is set. In Single Conversion
mode, ADSC is cleared simultaneously. The software may then set ADSC again, and a new
conversion will be initiated on the first rising ADC clock edge. In Free Running mode, a new conversion will be started immediately after the conversion completes, while ADSC remains high.
Using Free Running mode and an ADC clock frequency of 200 kHz gives the lowest conversion
time, 65 µs, equivalent to 15 kSPS. For a summary of conversion times, see Table 43.

Condition
Changing Channel The MUXn and REFS1:0 bits in the ADMUX Register are single buffered through a temporary
register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the channels and reference
or Reference
selection only takes place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and reference
Selection
selection is continuously updated until a conversion is started. Once the conversion starts, the
channel and reference 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 (ADIF in
ADCSR is 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 ADSC is written.

Special care should be taken when changing differential channels. Once a differential channel
has been selected, the gain stage may take as much as 125 µs to stabilize to the new value.
Thus conversions should not be started within the first 125 µs after selecting a new differential
channel. Alternatively, conversion results obtained within this period should be discarded.
The same settling time should be observed for the first differential conversion after changing
ADC reference (by changing the REFS1:0 bits in ADMUX).
ADC Noise
Canceler Function
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during ADC Noise Reduction mode
(see “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 37) to reduce noise induced from the
CPU core and other I/O peripherals. If other I/O peripherals must be active during conversion,
this mode works equivalently for Idle mode. To make use of this feature, the following procedure
should be used:
1. 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.
ADEN = 1
ADSC = 0
ADFR = 0
ADIE = 1
2. Enter ADC Noise Reduction mode (or Idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion once
the CPU has been halted.
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.
ADC Conversion
Result
After the conversion is complete (ADIF is high), the conversion result can be found in the ADC
Result Registers (ADCL, ADCH).
For single ended conversion, the result is

where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see
Table 45 on page 101 and Table 46 on page 102). 0x000 represents analog ground, and 0x3FF
represents the selected reference voltage minus one LSB.
If differential channels are used, the result is
( V POS – V NEG ) ⋅ GAIN ⋅ 1024
ADC = --------------------------------------------------------------------------V REF
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin,
GAIN the selected gain factor, and VREF the selected voltage reference. Keep in mind that VPOS
must be higher than VNEG, otherwise, the ADC value will saturate at 0x000. Figure 56 shows the
decoding of the differential input range.
Table 44 shows the resulting output codes if the differential input channel pair (ADCn - ADCm) is
selected with a gain of GAIN and a reference voltage of VREF.

Example:
ADMUX = 0xEB (ADC0 - ADC1, 20x gain, 2.56V reference, left adjusted result)
Voltage on ADC0 is 400 mV, voltage on ADC1 is 300 mV.
ADCR = 1024 * 20 * (400 - 300) / 2560 = 800 = 0x320
ADCL will thus read 0x00, and ADCH will read 0xC8. Writing zero to ADLAR right adjusts the
result: ADCL = 0x20, ADCH = 0x03.

• Bit 7, 6 – REFS1, REFS0: Reference Selection Bits
These bits select the voltage reference for the ADC, as shown in Table 45. If these bits are
changed during a conversion, the change will not go in effect until this conversion is complete
(ADIF in ADCSR is set). The user should disregard the first conversion result after changing
these bits to obtain maximum accuracy. If differential channels are used, using AVCC or an
external AREF higher than (AVCC - 0.2V) is not recommended, as this will affect ADC accuracy.
The internal voltage reference may not be used if an external reference voltage is being applied
to the AREF pin.

The ADLAR bit affects the presentation of the ADC conversion result in the ADC Data Register.
If ADLAR is cleared, the result is right adjusted. If ADLAR is set, the result is left adjusted.
Changing the ADLAR bit will affect the ADC Data Register immediately, regardless of any ongoing conversions. For a complete description of this bit, see “ADC Data Register – ADCL and

• Bits 4..0 – MUX4..MUX0: Analog Channel and Gain Selection Bits
The value of these bits selects which combination of analog inputs are connected to the ADC.
These bits also select the gain for the differential channels. See Table 46 for details. If these bits
are changed during a conversion, the change will not go in effect until this conversion is
complete (ADIF in ADCSR is set).

• Bit 7 – ADEN: ADC Enable
Writing a logical “1” to this bit enables the ADC. By clearing this bit 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, a logical “1” must be written to this bit to start each conversion. In
Free Running mode, a logical “1” must be written to this bit to start the first conversion. The first
time ADSC has been written after the ADC has been enabled, or if ADSC is written at the same
time as the ADC is enabled, a dummy conversion will precede the initiated conversion. This
dummy 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. When a dummy conversion precedes a real conversion, ADSC will stay high
until the real conversion completes. Writing a 0 to this bit has no effect.
• Bit 5 – ADFR: ADC Free Running Select
When this bit is set (one) the ADC operates in Free Running mode. In this mode, the ADC samples and updates the Data Registers continuously. Clearing this bit (zero) will terminate Free
Running mode.
• Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag
This bit is set (one) 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
(one). 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 readmodify-write on ADCSR, 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 set (one) and the I-bit in SREG is set (one), the ADC Conversion Complete Interrupt is activated.

Initial Value
When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers. The ADLAR bit
in ADMUX affect the way the result is read from the registers. If ADLAR is set, the result is left
adjusted. If ADLAR is cleared (default), the result is right adjusted. If the result is left adjusted
and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL
must be read first, then ADCH.
• ADC9..0: ADC Conversion Result
These bits represent the result from the conversion. For differential channels, this is the absolute
value after gain adjustment, as indicated in Table 46 on page 102. For single ended channels,
$000 represents analog ground, and $3FF represents the selected reference voltage minus one
LSB.

1477K–AVR–08/10
ATtiny26(L)
Scanning Multiple
Channels
Since change of analog channel always is delayed until a conversion is finished, the Free Running mode can be used to scan multiple channels without interrupting the converter. Typically,
the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt will be used to perform the channel shift. However, the
user should take the following fact into consideration:
The interrupt triggers once the result is ready to be read. In Free Running mode, the next
conversioin will start immediately when the interrupt triggers. If ADMUX is changed after the
interrupt triggers, the next conversion has already started, and the old setting is used.
ADC Noise
Canceling
Techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the ATtiny26(L) 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:
1. The analog part of the ATtiny26(L) and all analog components in the application should
have a separate analog ground plane on the PCB. This ground plane is connected to the
digital ground plane via a single point on the PCB.
2. Keep analog signal paths as short as possible. Make sure analog tracks run over the
analog ground plane, and keep them well away from high-speed switching digital tracks.
3. The AVCC pin on the ATtiny26(L) should be connected to the digital VCC supply voltage
via an LC network as shown in Figure 57.
4. Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.
5. If some pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not switch while a
conversion is in progress in that port.
Offset
Compensation
Schemes
The gain stage has a built-in offset cancellation circuitry that nulls the offset of differential measurements as much as possible. The remaining offset in the analog path can be measured
directly by selecting the same channel for both differential inputs. This offset residue can be then
subtracted in software from the measurement results. Using this kind of software based offset
correction, offset on any channel can be reduced below one LSB.

Latching of Fuses
The fuse values are latched when the device enters programming mode and changes of the
fuse values will have no effect until the part leaves programming mode. This does not apply to
the EESAVE Fuse which will take effect once it is programmed. The fuses are also latched on
Power-up in normal mode.
Signature Bytes
All Atmel microcontrollers have a three-byte signature code which identifies the device. This
code can be read in both serial and parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The three
bytes reside in a separate address space.
For the ATtiny26 the signature bytes are:
1. $000: $1E (indicates manufactured by Atmel).
2. $001: $91 (indicates 2KB Flash memory).
3. $002: $09 (indicates ATtiny26 device when $001 is $91).
Calibration Byte
The ATtiny26 stores four different calibration values for the internal RC Oscillator. These bytes
resides in the signature row high byte of the addresses 0x0000, 0x0001, 0x0002, and 0x0003 for
1, 2, 4, and 8 MHz respectively. During Reset, the 1 MHz value is automatically loaded into the
OSCCAL Register. If other frequencies are used, the calibration value has to be loaded manually, see “Oscillator Calibration Register – OSCCAL” on page 29 for details.

least 250 ns unless otherwise noted.
Signal Names
In this section, some pins of the ATtiny26 are referenced by signal names describing their functionality during parallel programming, see Figure 58 and Table 54. Pins not described in the
following table are referenced by pin names.
The XA1/XA0 pins determine the action executed when the XTAL1 pin is given a positive pulse.
The bit coding is shown in Table 56.
When pulsing WR or OE, the command loaded determines the action executed. The different

The following algorithm puts the device in parallel programming mode:
Step 2-7 must be completed within 64ms.
1. Set Prog_enable pins listed in Table 55 on page 110, RESET and Vcc to 0V.
2. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between Vcc/AVcc and GND.
3. Wait at least 60us.
4. Apply between 4.5V - 5.5V (Same as on Vcc/AVcc) to RESET pin.
5. Wait at least 20us.
6. Apply between 11.5V - 12.5V to RESET pin.
7. Wait at least 10us.
8. Program fuses to internal clock mode, 8 MHz, with 64ms delay. (CKSEL[3..0] = 0100,
SUT[1..0] = 10). If Lock bits are programmed, a Chip Erase command must be executed
before changing the fuses.
9. Exit Programming mode by power the device down or by bringing RESET pin to 0V.
10. Repeat step 1 to 7 too re-enter programming mode.
Considerations for
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For efficient
Efficient Programming programming, the following should be considered.
112
•
The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory
locations.
•
Skip writing the data value $FF, that is the contents of the entire EEPROM (unless the
EESAVE Fuse is programmed) and Flash after a Chip Erase.
•
Address high byte needs only be loaded before programming or reading a new 256-word
window in Flash or 256-byte EEPROM. This consideration also applies to Signature bytes
reading.

Chip Erase
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM(1) memories plus Lock bits. The Lock bits are
not reset until the program memory has been completely erased. The Fuse bits are not
changed. A Chip Erase must be performed before the Flash and/or EEPROM are
reprogrammed.
Note:
1. The EEPROM memory is preserved during Chip Erase if the EESAVE Fuse is programmed.
Load Command “Chip Erase”
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.
2. Set BS1 to “0”.
3. Set DATA to “1000 0000”. This is the command for Chip Erase.
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.
5. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts the Chip Erase. RDY/BSY goes low.
6. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high before loading a new command.
Programming the
Flash
The Flash is organized in pages, see Table 52 on page 109. When programming the Flash, the
program data is latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of program data to be programmed simultaneously. The following procedure describes how to program the entire Flash
memory:
A. Load Command "Write Flash"
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.
2. Set BS1 to “0”.
3. Set DATA to “0001 0000”. This is the command for Write Flash.
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command.
B. Load Address Low byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.
2. Set BS1 to “0”. This selects low address.
3. Set DATA = Address low byte ($00 - $FF).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.
C. Load Data Low Byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.
2. Set DATA = Data low byte ($00 - $FF).
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.
D. Load Data High Byte
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.
2. Set XA1, XA0 to “01”. This enables data loading.
3. Set DATA = Data high byte ($00 - $FF).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.
E. Repeat B through D until the entire buffer is filled or until all data within the page is loaded.
While the lower bits in the address are mapped to words within the page, the higher bits address
the pages within the FLASH. This is illustrated in Figure 59 on page 114. Note that if less than 8
bits are required to address words in the page (pagesize < 256), the most significant bit(s) in the
address low byte are used to address the page when performing a page write.

1477K–AVR–08/10
F. Load Address High byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “00”. This enables address loading.
2. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high address.
3. Set DATA = Address high byte ($00 - $03).
4. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address high byte.
G. Program Page
1. Set BS1 to “0”.
2. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the entire page of data.
RDY/BSYgoes low.
3. Wait until RDY/BSY goes high. (See Figure 60 for signal waveforms.)
H. Repeat B through G until the entire Flash is programmed or until all data has been
programmed.
I. End Page Programming
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “10”. This enables command loading.
2. Set DATA to “0000 0000”. This is the command for No Operation.
3. Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command, and the internal write signals are
reset.

Programming Pin
Mapping
Both the Flash and EEPROM memory arrays can be programmed using the serial SPI bus while
RESET is pulled to GND. The serial interface consists of pins SCK, MOSI (input) and MISO (output). After RESET is set low, the Programming Enable instruction needs to be executed first
before program/erase operations can be executed. NOTE, in Table 59 on page 121, the pin
mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins dedicated for the internal
SPI interface. Note that throughout the description about Serial downloading, MOSI and MISO
are used to describe the serial data in and serial data out respectively.

Notes:
1. If the device is clocked by the internal oscillator, there is no need to connect a clock source to
the XTAL1 pin.
2. VCC -0.3V < AVCC < VCC +0.3V, however, AVCC should always be within 2.7 - 5.5V.
When programming the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed programming
operation (in the serial mode ONLY) and there is no need to first execute the Chip Erase instruction. The Chip Erase operation turns the content of every memory location in both the Program
and EEPROM arrays into $FF.
Depending on CKSEL Fuses, a valid clock must be present. The minimum low and high periods
for the serial clock (SCK) input are defined as follows:
Low: > 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck
12 MHz
High: > 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck
12 MHz
121
1477K–AVR–08/10
SPI Serial
Programming
Algorithm
When writing serial data to the ATtiny26, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the ATtiny26, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure
68, Figure 69, and Table 69 for timing details.
To program and verify the ATtiny26 in the serial programming mode, the following sequence is
recommended (See four byte instruction formats in Table 61):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between VCC and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some systems, the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during Power-up. In this
case, RESET must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization. When in synchronize the second byte ($53), will echo back when issuing the
third byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all 4
bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the $53 did not echo back, give RESET a
positive pulse and issue a new Programming Enable command.
4. The Flash is programmed one page at a time. The page size is found in Table 52 on
page 109. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 4 LSB of the
address and data together with the Load Program Memory Page instruction. To ensure
correct loading of the page, the data low byte must be loaded before data high byte is
applied for given address. The Program Memory Page is stored by loading the Write Program Memory Page instruction with the 6 MSB of the address. If polling is not used, the
user must wait at least tWD_FLASH before issuing the next page. (See Table 60). Accessing
the serial programming interface before the Flash write operation completes can result in
incorrect programming.
5. The EEPROM array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and
data together with the appropriate Write instruction. An EEPROM memory location is first
automatically erased before new data is written. If polling is not used, the user must wait
at least tWD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte. (See Table 60). In a chip erased device,
no $FFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
6. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction which returns the content at the selected address at serial output MISO.
7. At the end of the programming session, RESET can be set high to commence normal
operation.
8. Power-off sequence (if needed):
Set RESET to “1”.
Turn VCC power off.

Data Polling Flash
When a page is being programmed into the Flash, reading an address location within the page
being programmed will give the value $FF. At the time the device is ready for a new page, the
programmed value will read correctly. This is used to determine when the next page can be written. Note that the entire page is written simultaneously and any address within the page can be
used for polling. Data polling of the Flash will not work for the value $FF, so when programming
this value, the user will have to wait for at least tWD_FLASH before programming the next page. As
a chip-erased device contains $FF in all locations, programming of addresses that are meant to
contain $FF, can be skipped. See Table 60 for tWD_FLASH value.
Data Polling EEPROM
When a new byte has been written and is being programmed into EEPROM, reading the
address location being programmed will give the value $FF. At the time the device is ready for a
new byte, the programmed value will read correctly. This is used to determine when the next
byte can be written. This will not work for the value $FF, but the user should have the following in
mind: As a chip-erased device contains $FF in all locations, programming of addresses that are
meant to contain $FF, can be skipped. This does not apply if the EEPROM is re-programmed
without chip-erasing the device. In this case, data polling cannot be used for the value $FF, and
the user will have to wait at least tWD_EEPROM before programming the next byte. See Table 60 for
tWD_EEPROM value.

Typical values at 25°C.
“Max” means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low.
“Min” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high.
Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20mA at Vcc = 5V, 10 mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
1] The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 400 mA.
2] The sum of all IOL, for port A0 - A7, should not exceed 300 mA.
3] The sum of all IOL, for ports B0 - B7 should not exceed 300 mA.
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater
than the listed test condition.
5. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (20 mA at VCC = 5V, 10 mA at VCC = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:
1] The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 400 mA.
2] The sum of all IOH, for port A0 - A7, should not exceed 300 mA.
3] The sum of all IOH, for ports B0 - B7 should not exceed 300 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.
6. Minimum VCC for Power-down is 2.5V.

Typical
Characteristics
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing.
All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins configured as inputs and
with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with rail-to-rail output is used as clock
source.
The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.
The 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.
The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as CL*VCC*f where
CL = load capacitance, VCC = operating voltage and f = average switching frequency of I/O pin.
The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaranteed to
function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.
The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer
enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.

If the device is powered by a slow rising VCC, the first Analog Comparator conversion will
take longer than expected on some devices.
Problem Fix/Workaround
When the device has been powered or reset, disable then enable the Analog Comparator
before the first conversion.
