AVR508: Migration from ATmega644 to ATmega644P Features • General Porting Considerations • Register and bit names • Low-frequency Crystal and Timer/Counter Oscillator 8-bit Microcontrollers Application Note 1 Introduction This application note summarizes the relevant differences when migrating from ATmega644 to ATmega644P. For detailed information on the devices please see the respective datasheets. The ATmega644P is designed to be pin and functionality compatible with ATmega644, but because of improvements mentioned in this application note there may be a need for minor modifications in the application when migrating from ATmega644 to ATmega644P. Further an additional USART has been added making the ATmega644P fully compatible with ATmega164P/324P. Rev. 8038A-AVR-07/06 2 General Porting Considerations To make the porting process as easy as possible, we recommend to always refer to registers and bit positions using their defined names, as absolute addresses and values may change from device to device. When porting a design it is then often just necessary to include the correct definition file. Some examples are shown below. PORTE |= (1<<PORTE5); DDR &= ~(1<<PORTE5); // Set pin 5 on port E high // Set pin 5 on port E as input // Configure USI USICR = (1<<USISIE)|(0<<USIOIE)|(1<<USIWM1)|(0<<USIWM0)| (1<<USICS1)|(0<<USICS0)|(0<<USICLK)|(0<<USITC); To avoid conflicts with added features and register functionality, never access registers that are marked as reserved. Reserved bits should always be written to zero if accessed. This ensures forward compatibility, and added features will stay in their default states when unused. 3 Register and bit names Between ATmega644 and ATmega644P some register bits has been added, but none of the existing bits has been removed, nor moved to different locations. 4 Low-frequency Crystal and Timer/Counter Oscillator The low-frequency crystal / Timer/counter oscillator of the ATmega644P is optimized for very low power consumption and thus the crystal driver strength is reduced compared to the ATmega644. This means that when selecting a crystal, its load capacitance and Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) must be taken into consideration. Both values are specified by the crystal vendor. Table 4-1 shows the ESR recommendations for ATmega644P. The internal capacitance of ATmega644P low-frequency oscillator is typically 6pF, but the tracks to the crystal will add some additional capacitance. Table 4-1. ESR recommendation for 32.768 kHz crystals for ATmega644P Note: Crystal CL [pF] Max ESR1 [kΩ] 6.5 75 9 65 12.5 30 1. The values stated are for an oscillator allowance safety margin of 5. Since the oscillator’s transconductance is temperature compensated one can use a safety margin of 4, thus giving a max ESR of 90, 80 and 40 kΩ respectively. For examples of crystals that comply with the requirements see Appendix A. 2 AVR508 8038A-AVR-07/06 AVR508 The startup times are also increased as shown in Table 4-2. Table 4-2. Startup times with 32.768 kHz crystals Startup time2 [ms] ATmega644 Startup time2 [ms] ATmega644P 6.5 - 600 9 300 700 12.5 400 1700 Crystal CL [pF] Note: 2. Crystals usually need ~3000ms before they are completely stable with any oscillator design. The time stated is before the crystal is running with a sufficient amplitude and frequency stability. 5 Appendix A Table 5-1 is a selection of crystals that ATmega644P. The crystals are listed based tested with the actual device. Any other requirements can also be used.
