Part Description
The Atmel ATtiny87/167 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 ATtiny87/167 achieves throughputs approaching 1MIPS 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 Atmel ATtiny87/167 provides the following features: 8K/16Kbyte of in-system programmable flash, 512 bytes EEPROM,
512 bytes SRAM, 16 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, one 8-bit timer/counter with compare
modes, one 8-bit high speed timer/counter, universal serial interface, a LIN controller, internal and external interrupts, a
11-channel, 10-bit ADC, a programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, and three software selectable power saving
modes. The idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counter, ADC, analog comparator, and interrupt
system to continue functioning. The power-down mode saves the register contents, disabling all chip functions until the next
interrupt or hardware reset. The ADC noise reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except ADC, to minimize
switching noise during ADC conversions.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip ISP flash allows the
program memory to be re-programmed in-system through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory
programmer or by an on-chip boot code running on the AVR core. The Boot program can use any interface to download the
application program in the Flash memory. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a
monolithic chip, the Atmel ATtiny87/167 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective
solution to many embedded control applications.
The Atmel ATtiny87/167 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C compilers,
macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit emulators, and evaluation kits.

Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers have
symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port A pins that are externally pulled
low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes
active, even if the clock is not running.

AVR CPU Core
2.1
Overview
This section discusses the AVR® core architecture in general. The main function of the CPU core is to ensure correct
program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and
handle interrupts.

In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with separate memories and
buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipelining. While one
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions
to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is in-system reprogrammable flash memory. The fast-access
register file contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This allows singlecycle arithmetic logic unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands are output from the register file, the
operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the register file – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for data space addressing – enabling
efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in
flash program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register
operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the status register is updated to reflect
information about the result of the operation.

ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to directly address the whole
address space. Most AVR® instructions have a single 16-bit word format. Every program memory address contains a 16- or
32-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address program counter (PC) is stored on the stack. The stack is
effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and
the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are
executed). The stack pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through
the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional global interrupt enable bit in the status
register. All interrupts have a separate interrupt vector in the interrupt vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance
with their interrupt vector position. The lower the interrupt vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as control registers, SPI, and other I/O functions.
The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as the data space locations following those of the register file, 0x20 - 0x5F.
2.2
ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers. Within a
single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are
executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions. Some
implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and
fractional format. See the “instruction set” section for a detailed description.
2.3
Status Register
The status register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic instruction. This
information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that the status register is
updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the instruction set reference. This will in many cases remove the need for
using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The status egister is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine and restored when returning from an
interrupt. This must be handled by software.

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The global interrupt enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control is then
performed in separate control registers. If the global interrupt enable register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled
independent of the individual interrupt enable settings. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is
set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The 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 or destination for the operated bit. A bit
from a register in the register file can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a
register in the register file by the BLD instruction.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
The half carry flag H indicates a half carry in some arithmetic operations. Half carry is useful in BCD arithmetic. See the
“instruction set description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the two’s complement overflow flag V. See the
“instruction set description” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The two’s complement overflow flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the “instruction set description” for
detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The negative flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “instruction set description” for
detailed information.
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The zero flag Z indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “instruction set description” for detailed
information.
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag
The carry flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “instruction set description” for detailed
information.

●
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input

Most of the instructions operating on the register file have direct access to all registers, and most of them are single cycle
instructions.
As shown in Figure 2-2, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them directly into the first 32
locations of the user data space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization
provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as the X-, Y- and Z-pointer registers can be set to index any register in the
file.
2.4.1
The X-register, Y-register, and Z-register
The registers R26.R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit address
pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described
in Figure 2-3 on page 12.

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment, and
automatic decrement (see the instruction set reference for details).
2.5
Stack Pointer
The stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local variables and for storing return addresses after
interrupts and subroutine calls. The stack pointer register always points to the top of the stack. Note that the stack is
implemented as growing from higher memory locations to lower memory locations. This implies that a stack PUSH command
decreases the stack pointer.
The stack pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the subroutine and interrupt stacks are located. This stack
space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled.
The stack pointer must be set to point above 0x60. The stack pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the
stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto the stack with
subroutine call or interrupt. The stack pointer is incremented by one when data is popped from the stack with the POP
instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the stack with return from subroutine RET or return from
interrupt RETI.
The AVR® stack pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The number of bits actually used is
implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations of the AVR architecture is so small that only
SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH register will not be present

Instruction Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The AVR® CPU is driven by the CPU
clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 2-4 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 1MIPS per MHz with the corresponding
unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Reset and Interrupt Handling
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector each have a separate
program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic
one together with the global interrupt enable bit in the status register in order to enable the interrupt.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the reset and interrupt vectors. The complete
list of vectors is shown in Section 7. “Interrupts” on page 57. 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.

2.7.1
Interrupt Behavior
When an interrupt occurs, the global interrupt enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts are disabled. The user software can
write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts. All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine.
The I-bit is automatically set when a return from interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
There are basically two types of interrupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the interrupt flag. For these
interrupts, the program counter is vectored to the actual interrupt vector in order to execute the interrupt handling routine,
and hardware clears the corresponding interrupt flag. Interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit
position(s) to be cleared. If an interrupt condition occurs while the corresponding interrupt enable bit is cleared, the interrupt
flag will be set and remembered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more
interrupt conditions occur while the global interrupt enable bit is cleared, the corresponding interrupt flag(s) will be set and
remembered until the global interrupt enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of priority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily
have interrupt flags. If the interrupt condition disappears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be triggered.
When the AVR® exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction before
any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine, nor restored when returning from
an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt will be executed

be used to avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence.

Interrupt Response Time
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR® interrupts is four clock cycles minimum. After four clock cycles the
program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the program
counter is pushed onto the stack. The vector is normally a jump to the interrupt routine, and this jump takes three clock
cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is
served. If an interrupt occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is increased by four
clock cycles. This increase comes in addition to the start-up time from the selected sleep mode.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock cycles, the program counter (two
bytes) is popped back from the stack, the stack pointer is incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG is set.

In-system Re-programmable Flash Program Memory
The Atmel ATtiny87/167 contains on-chip in-system reprogrammable flash memory for program storage (see “flash size” in
Table 3-1 on page 16). Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the flash is organized as 16 bits wide. ATtiny87/167
does not have separate boot loader and application program sections, and the SPM instruction can be executed from the
entire flash. See SELFPRGEN description in Section 20.2.1 “Store Program Memory Control and Status Register –
SPMCSR” on page 202 for more details.
The flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles in automotive range. The Atmel ATtiny87/167
program counter (PC) address the program memory locations. Section 21. “Memory Programming” on page 207 contains a
detailed description on flash data serial downloading using the SPI pins.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see the LPM – load program memory
instruction description).
Timing diagrams for instruction fetch and execution are presented in Section 2.6 “Instruction Execution Timing” on page 13.

SRAM Data Memory
Figure 3-2 shows how the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 SRAM memory is organized.
The ATtiny87/167 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 locations
reserved in the opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space in SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and
LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
The data memory locations address both the register file, the I/O memory, extended I/O memory, and the internal data
SRAM. The first 32 locations address the register file, the next 64 location the standard I/O memory, then 160 locations of
extended I/O memory, and the next locations address the internal data SRAM (see “ISRAM size” in Table 3-1 on page 16).
The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: direct, indirect with displacement, indirect, indirect with predecrement, and indirect with post-increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer
registers.
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.
The indirect with displacement mode reaches 63 address locations from the base address given by the Y- or Z-register.
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X,
Y, and Z are decremented or incremented.
The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers, 160 extended I/O registers and the internal data SRAM in the
ATtiny87/167 are all accessible through all these addressing modes. The register file is described in Section 2.4 “General
Purpose Register File” on page 11.

EEPROM Data Memory
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 contains EEPROM memory (see “E2 size” in Table 3-1 on page 16). It is organized as a separate
data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase
cycles in automotive range. The access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described in the following, specifying the
EEPROM address registers, the EEPROM data register and the EEPROM control register.
Section 21. “Memory Programming” on page 207 contains a detailed description on EEPROM programming in SPI or
parallel programming mode.
3.3.1
EEPROM Read/Write Access
The EEPROM access registers are accessible in the I/O space.
The write access times for the EEPROM are given in Table 3-2. A self-timing function, however, lets the user software detect
when the next byte can be written. If the user code contains instructions that write the EEPROM, some precautions must be
taken. In heavily filtered power supplies, Vcc is likely to rise or fall slowly on power-up/down. This causes the device for
some period of time to run at a voltage lower than specified as minimum for the clock frequency used. See Section 3.3.6
“Preventing EEPROM Corruption” on page 21 for details on how to avoid problems in these situations.
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be followed. Refer to Section 3.3.2
“Atomic Byte Programming” on page 18 and Section 3.3.3 “Split Byte Programming” on page 19 for details on this.
When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles before the next instruction is executed. When the
EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the next instruction is executed.
3.3.2
Atomic Byte Programming
Using atomic byte programming is the simplest mode. When writing a byte to the EEPROM, the user must write the address
into the EEARL register and data into EEDR register. If the EEPMn bits are zero, writing EEPE (within four cycles after
EEMPE is written) will trigger the erase/write operation. Both the erase and write cycle are done in one operation and the
total programming time is given in Table 1. The EEPE bit remains set until the erase and write operations are completed.
While the device is busy with programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM operations.
18
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
3.3.3
Split Byte Programming
It is possible to split the erase and write cycle in two different operations. This may be useful if the system requires short
access time for some limited period of time (typically if the power supply voltage falls). In order to take advantage of this
method, it is required that the locations to be written have been erased before the write operation. But since the erase and
write operations are split, it is possible to do the erase operations when the system allows doing time-critical operations
(typically after power-up).
3.3.4
Erase
To erase a byte, the address must be written to EEAR. If the EEPMn bits are 0b01, writing the EEPE (within four cycles after
EEMPE is written) will trigger the erase operation only (programming time is given in Table 1). The EEPE bit remains set
until the erase operation completes. While the device is busy programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM
operations.
3.3.5
Write
To write a location, the user must write the address into EEAR and the data into EEDR. If the EEPMn bits are 0b10, writing
the EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the write operation only (programming time is given in table
1). The EEPE bit remains set until the write operation completes. If the location to be written has not been erased before
write, the data that is stored must be considered as lost. While the device is busy with programming, it is not possible to do
any other EEPROM operations.
The calibrated oscillator is used to time the EEPROM accesses. Make sure the oscillator frequency is within the
requirements described in Section 4.5.1 “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register” on page 38.

3.3.6
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 EEPROM, and the same design
solutions should be applied.
An EEPROM data corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low. First, a regular write sequence to
the EEPROM requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly,
if the supply voltage is too low.
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following this design recommendation:
Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by enabling the
internal Brown-out Detector (BOD). If the detection level of the internal BOD does not match the needed detection level, an
external low Vcc reset protection circuit can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in progress, the write
operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.

I/O Memory
The I/O space definition of the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 is shown in Section “” on page 243.
All ATtiny87/167 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. All I/O locations may be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD
and ST/STS/STD instructions, transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O
registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the instruction set
section for more details. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used.
When addressing I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The
Atmel ATtiny87/167 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location
reserved in opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM, only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses
should never be written.
Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags. The
CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in later sections.
3.4.1
General Purpose I/O Registers
The Atmel ATtiny87/167 contains three general purpose I/O registers. These registers can be used for storing any
information, and they are particularly useful for storing global variables and status flags.
The general purpose I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS,
and SBIC instructions.

write operations in two different operations. The programming times for the different modes are shown in Table 3-2. While

• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable
Writing EERIE to one enables the EEPROM ready interrupt if the I-bit in SREG is set. Writing EERIE to zero disables the
interrupt. The EEPROM ready interrupt generates a constant interrupt when Non-volatile memory is ready for programming.
• Bit 2 – EEMPE: EEPROM Master Program Enable
The EEMPE bit determines whether writing EEPE to one will have effect or not.
When EEMPE is set, setting EEPE within four clock cycles will program the EEPROM at the selected address. If EEMPE is
zero, setting EEPE will have no effect. When EEMPE has been written to one by software, hardware clears the bit to zero
after four clock cycles.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
23
• Bit 1 – EEPE: EEPROM Program Enable
The EEPROM program enable signal EEPE is the programming enable signal to the EEPROM. When EEPE is written, the
EEPROM will be programmed according to the EEPMn bits setting. The EEMPE bit must be written to one before a logical
one is written to EEPE, otherwise no EEPROM write takes place. When the write access time has elapsed, the EEPE bit is
cleared by hardware. When EEPE has been set, the CPU is halted for two cycles before the next instruction is executed.
• Bit 0 – EERE: EEPROM Read Enable
The EEPROM read enable signal – EERE – is the read strobe to the EEPROM. When the correct address is set up in the
EEAR register, the EERE bit must be written to one to trigger the EEPROM read. The EEPROM read access takes one
instruction, and the requested data is available immediately. When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four cycles
before the next instruction is executed. The user should poll the EEPE bit before starting the read operation. If a write
operation is in progress, it is neither possible to read the EEPROM, nor to change the EEAR register.

System Clock and Clock Options
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 provides a large number of clock sources. They can be divided into two categories: internal and
external. Some external clock sources can be shared with the asynchronous timer. After reset, the clock source is
determined by the CKSEL Fuses. Once the device is running, software clock switching is possible to any other clock
sources.
Hardware controls are provided for clock switching management but some specific procedures must be observed. Clock
switching should be performed with caution as some settings could result in the device having an incorrect configuration.
4.1
Clock Systems and their Distribution
Figure 4-1 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR® and their distribution. All of the clocks may not need to be active
at any given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using
different sleep modes or by using features of the dynamic clock switch circuit (See Section 5. “Power Management and
Sleep Modes” on page 42 and Section 4.3 “Dynamic Clock Switch” on page 32). The clock systems are detailed below.

4.1.1
CPU Clock – clkCPU
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with the AVR® core operation. 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.
4.1.2
I/O Clock – clkI/O
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like synchronous timer/counter. The I/O clock is also used by the
external interrupt module, but note that some external interrupts are detected by asynchronous logic, allowing such
interrupts to be detected even if the I/O clock is halted.
4.1.3
Flash Clock – clkFLASH
The flash clock controls operation of the flash interface. The flash clock is usually active simultaneously with the CPU clock.
4.1.4
Asynchronous Timer Clock – clkASY
The asynchronous timer clock allows the asynchronous timer/counter to be clocked directly from an external clock or an
external low frequency crystal. The dedicated clock domain allows using this timer/counter as a real-time counter even when
the device is in sleep mode.
4.1.5
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.
4.2
Clock Sources
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by flash fuse bits (default) or by the CLKSELR register
(dynamic clock switch circuit) as shown below. The clock from the selected source is input to the AVR clock generator, and
routed to the appropriate modules.

The various choices for each clocking option are given in the following sections.
When the CPU wakes up from power-down or power-save, or when a new clock source is enabled by the dynamic clock
switch circuit, the selected clock source is used to time the start-up, ensuring stable oscillator operation before instruction
execution starts.
When the CPU starts from reset, there is an additional delay allowing the power to reach a stable level before commencing
normal operation. The watchdog oscillator is used for timing this real-time part of the start-up sequence. The number of WDT
oscillator cycles used for each time-out is shown in Table 4-2
.

Default Clock Source
At reset, the CKSEL and SUT fuse settings are copied into the CLKSELR register. The device will then use the clock source
and the start-up timings defined by the CLKSELR bits (CSEL3.0 and CSUT1:0).
The device is shipped with CKSEL fuses = 0010 b, SUT fuses = 10 b, and CKDIV8 fuse programmed. The default clock
source setting is therefore the internal RC oscillator running at 8MHz with the longest start-up time and an initial system
clock divided by 8. This default setting ensures that all users can make their desired clock source setting using an in-system
or high-voltage programmer. This set-up must be taken into account when using ISP tools.
4.2.2
Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator
By default, the internal RC oscillator provides an approximate 8.0MHz clock. Though voltage and temperature dependent,
this clock can be accurately calibrated by the user. See Table 22-1 on page 224 and Section 24.7 “Internal Oscillator Speed”
on page 240 for more details.
If selected, it can operate without external components. At reset, hardware loads the pre-programmed calibration value into
the OSCCAL register and thereby automatically configuring the RC oscillator. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as
factory calibration in Table 22-1 on page 224.
By adjusting the OSCCAL register in software, see Section 4.5.1 “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Register” on page 38, it
is possible to get a higher calibration accuracy than by using the factory calibration. The accuracy of this calibration is shown
as User calibration in Table 22-1 on page 224.
The watchdog oscillator will still be used for the watchdog timer and for the reset time-out even when this oscillator is used
as the device clock. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see Section 21.4 “Calibration Byte” on
page 209.

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 4-2. Either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.
C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value of the capacitors depends on the
crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capacitance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial
guidelines for choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in Table 4-6. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values
given by the manufacturer should be used.

Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator
To use a 32.768kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the low-frequency crystal oscillator must be selected by
setting CKSEL fuses or CSEL field as shown in Table 4-1 on page 26. The crystal should be connected as shown in Figure
4-3. Refer to the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator application note for details on oscillator operation and how to choose
appropriate values for C1 and C2.
The 32.768kHz watch crystal oscillator can be used by the asynchronous timer if the (high-frequency) crystal oscillator is not
running or if the external clock is not enabled (Section 4.3.3 “Enable/Disable Clock Source” on page 33). The asynchronous
timer is then able to start itself this low-frequency crystal oscillator.

Note that the system clock prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of the internal clock frequency while still
ensuring stable operation. Refer to Section 4.4 “System Clock Prescaler” on page 38 for details.
4.2.7
Clock Output Buffer
If not using a crystal oscillator, the device can output the system clock on the CLKO pin. To enable the output, the CKOUT
fuse or COUT bit of CLKSELR register has to be programmed. This option is useful when the device clock is needed to drive
other circuits on the system. Note that the clock will not be output during reset and the normal operation of I/O pin will be
overridden when the fuses are programmed. If the System clock prescaler is used, it is the divided system clock that is
output.
4.3
Dynamic Clock Switch
4.3.1
Features
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 provides a powerful dynamic clock switch circuit that allows users to turn on and off clocks of the
device on the fly. The built-in de-glitching circuitry allows clocks to be enabled or disabled asynchronously. This enables
efficient power management schemes to be implemented easily and quickly. In a safety application, the dynamic clock
switch circuit allows continuous monitoring of the external clock permitting a fallback scheme in case of clock failure.
The control of the dynamic clock switch circuit must be supervised by software. This operation is facilitated by the following
features:
● Safe commands, to avoid unintentional commands, a special write procedure must be followed to change the
CLKCSR register bits (Section 4.5.2 “CLKPR – Clock Prescaler Register” on page 38):
●
●
32
Exclusive action, the actions are controlled by a decoding table (commands) written to the CLKCSR register. This
ensures that only one command operation can be launched at any time. The main actions of the decoding table are:
●
‘Disable Clock Source’,
●
‘Enable Clock Source’,
●
‘Request Clock Availability’,
●
‘Clock Source Switching’,
●
‘Recover System Clock Source’,
●
‘Enable Watchdog in Automatic Reload Mode’.
Command status return. The ‘request clock availability ’ command returns status via the CLKRDY bit in the
CLKCSR register. The ‘recover system clock source ’ command returns a code of the current clock source in the
CLKSELR register. This information is used in the supervisory software routines as shown in Section 4.3.7 on page
34.

CLKSELR Register
4.3.2.1 Fuses Substitution
At reset, bits of the low fuse byte are copied into the CLKSELR register. The content of this register can subsequently be
user modified to overwrite the default values from the low fuse byte. CKSEL3..0, SUT1..0 and CKOUT fuses correspond
respectively to CSEL3..0, CSUT1:0 and ~(COUT) bits of the CLKSELR register as shown in Figure 4-5 on page 33.

The CLKSELR register contains the CSEL, CSUT and COUT values which will be used by the ‘enable/disable clock source’,

4.3.2.3 Source Recovering
The ‘recover system clock source’ command updates the CKSEL field of CLKSELR register (Section 4.3.6 “System Clock
Source Recovering” on page 34).
4.3.3
Enable/Disable Clock Source
The ‘enable clock source’ command selects and enables a clock source configured by the settings in the CLKSELR register.
CSEL3..0 will select the clock source and CSUT1:0 will select the start-up time (just as CKSEL and SUT fuse bits do). To be
sure that a clock source is operating, the ‘request for clock availability’ command must be executed after the ‘enable clock
source’ command. This will indicate via the CLKRDY bit in the CLKCSR register that a valid clock source is available and
operational.
The ‘disable clock source’ command disables the clock source indicated by the settings of CLKSELR register (only
CSEL3..0). If the clock source indicated is currently the one that is used to drive the system clock, the command is not
executed.
Because the selected configuration is latched at clock source level, it is possible to enable many clock sources at a given
time (ex: the internal RC oscillator for system clock + an oscillator with external crystal). The user (code) is responsible of
this management.
4.3.4
COUT Command
The ‘CKOUT ’ command allows to drive the CLKO pin. Refer to Section 4.2.7 “Clock Output Buffer” on page 32 for using.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
33
4.3.5
Clock Availability
‘Request for clock availability’ command enables a hardware oscillation cycle counter driven by the selected source clock,
CSEL3..0. The count limit value is determined by the settings of CSUT1..0. The clock is declared ready (CLKRDY = 1) when
the count limit value is reached. The CLKRDY flag is reset when the count starts. Once set, this flag remains unchanged
until a new count is commanded. To perform this checking, the CKSEL and CSUT fields should not be changed while the
operation is running.
Note that once the new clock source is selected (‘enable clock source’ command), the count procedure is automatically
started. The user (code) should wait for the setting of the CLKRDY flag in CLKSCR register before using a newly selected
clock.
At any time, the user (code) can ask for the availability of a clock source. The user (code) can request it by writing the
‘request for clock availability ’ command in the CLKSCR register. A full polling of the status of clock sources can thus be
done.
4.3.6
System Clock Source Recovering
The ‘recover system clock source’ command returns the current clock source used to drive the system clock as per
Table 4-1 on page 26. The CKSEL field of CLKSELR register is then updated with this returned value. There is no
information on the SUT used or status on CKOUT.
4.3.7
Clock Switching
To drive the system clock, the user can switch from the current clock source to any other of the following ones (one of them
being the current clock source):
1. Calibrated internal RC oscillator 8.0MHz,
2.
Internal watchdog oscillator 128kHz,
3.
External clock,
4.
External low-frequency oscillator,
5.
External Crystal/Ceramic Resonator.
The clock switching is performed by a sequence of commands. First, the user (code) must make sure that the new clock
source is operating. Then the ‘clock source switching’ command can be issued. Once this command has been successfully
completed using the ‘recover system clock source’ command, the user (code) may stop the previous clock source.
It is strongly recommended to run this sequence only once the interrupts have been disabled. The user (code) is responsible
for the correct implementation of the clock switching sequence.

Warning:
In the Atmel® ATtiny87/167, only one among the three external clock sources can be enabled at a given time.
Moreover, the enables of the external clock and of the external low-frequency oscillator are shared with the
asynchronous timer.

4.3.8
Clock Monitoring
A safe system needs to monitor its clock sources. Two domains need to be monitored:
● Clock sources for peripherals,
●
Clocks sources for system clock generation.
In the first domain, the user (code) can easily check the validity of the clock(s) (Section 4.3.4 “COUT Command” on page
33). In the second domain, the lack of a clock results in the code not running. Thus, the presence of the system clock needs
to be monitored by hardware.
Using the on-chip watchdog allows this monitoring. Normally, the watchdog reloading is performed only if the code reaches
some specific software labels, reaching these labels proves that the system clock is running. Otherwise the watchdog reset
is enabled. This behavior can be considered as a clock monitoring.
If the standard watchdog functionality is not desired, the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 watchdog permits the system clock to be
monitored without having to resort to the complexity of a full software watchdog handler. The solution proposed in the
ATtiny87/167 is to automate the watchdog reloading with only one command, at the beginning of the session.
So, to monitor the system clock, the user will have two options:
1. Using the standard watchdog features (software reload),
2.
Or using the automatic reloading (hardware reload).
The two options are exclusive.
Warning:
These two options make sense only if the clock source at RESET is an internal source. The fuse settings
determine this operation.

The ‘enable watchdog in automatic reload mode’ command has priority over the standard watchdog enabling. In this mode,
only the reset function of the watchdog is enabled (no more watchdog interrupt). The WDP3..0 bits of the WDTCSR register
always determine the watchdog timer prescaling.
As the watchdog will not be active before executing the ‘enable watchdog in automatic reload mode’ command, it is
recommended to activate this command before switching to an external clock source (See note on page 36).
Notes:
36
1.
Only the reset (watchdog reset included) disables this function. The watchdog system reset flag (WDRF bit of
MCUSR register) can be used to monitor the reset cause.
2.
Only clock frequencies greater than or equal to (4 * watchDog clock frequency) can be monitored.

System Clock Prescaler
4.4.1
Features
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 system clock can be divided by setting the clock prescaler register – CLKPR. This feature can be
used to decrease power consumption when the requirement for processing power is low. This can be used with all clock
source options, and it will affect the clock frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals. clkI/O, clkADC, clkCPU, and
clkFLASH are divided by a factor as shown in Table 4-10 on page 39.
4.4.2
Switching Time
When switching between prescaler settings, the system clock prescaler ensures that no glitches occur in the clock system
and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting, nor the
clock frequency corresponding to the new setting.
The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the undivided clock, which may be faster than the
CPU’s clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the state of the prescaler – even if it were readable, and the
exact time it takes to switch from one clock division to another cannot be exactly predicted.
From the time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the new clock frequency is
active. In this interval, 2 active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the previous clock period, and T2 is the period
corresponding to the new prescaler setting.

Device Specific Calibration Value
• Bits 7:0 – CAL7:0: Oscillator Calibration Value
The oscillator calibration register is used to trim the calibrated internal RC oscillator to remove process variations from the
oscillator frequency. The factory-calibrated value is automatically written to this register during chip reset, giving an oscillator
frequency of 8.0MHz at 25°C. The application software can write this register to change the oscillator frequency. The
oscillator can be calibrated to any frequency in the range 7.3 - 8.1MHz within ±2% accuracy. Calibration outside that range is
not guaranteed.
Note that this oscillator is used to time EEPROM and flash write accesses, and these write times will be affected accordingly.
If the EEPROM or flash are written, do not calibrate to more than 8.8MHz. Otherwise, the EEPROM or flash write may fail.
The CAL7 bit determines the range of operation for the oscillator. Setting this bit to 0 gives the lowest frequency range,
setting this bit to 1 gives the highest frequency range. The two frequency ranges are overlapping, in other words a setting of
OSCCAL = 0x7F gives a higher frequency than OSCCAL = 0x80.
The CAL6..0 bits are used to tune the frequency within the selected range. A setting of 0x00 gives the lowest frequency in
that range, and a setting of 0x7F gives the highest frequency in the range. Incrementing CAL6..0 by 1 will give a frequency
increment of less than 2% in the frequency range 7.3 - 8.1MHz.

CLKPR
• Bit 7 – CLKPCE: Clock Prescaler Change Enable
The CLKPCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKPS bits. The CLKPCE bit is only updated when the
other bits in CLKPR are simultaneously written to zero. CLKPCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when
the CLKPS bits are written. Rewriting the CLKPCE bit within this time-out period does neither extend the time-out period, nor
clear the CLKPCE bit.
• Bits 6:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bits 3:0 – CLKPS3:0: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal system clock. These bits can be
written run-time to vary the clock frequency to suit the application requirements. As the divider divides the master clock input
to the MCU, the speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used. The division factors are
given in Table 4-10.
To avoid unintentional changes of clock frequency, a special write procedure must be followed to change the CLKPS bits:
1. Write the Clock Prescaler Change Enable (CLKPCE) bit to one and all other bits in CLKPR to zero.
2.
Within four cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS while writing a zero to CLKPCE.
Interrupts must be disabled when changing prescaler setting in order not to disturb the procedure.
The CKDIV8 fuse determines the initial value of the CLKPS bits. If CKDIV8 is unprogrammed, the CLKPS bits will be reset to
“0000”. If CKDIV8 is programmed, CLKPS bits are reset to “0011”, giving a division factor of eight at start up. This feature
should be used if the selected clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of the device at the present
operating conditions. Note that any value can be written to the CLKPS bits regardless of the CKDIV8 Fuse setting. The
application software must ensure that a sufficient division factor is chosen if the selected clock source has a higher
frequency than the maximum frequency of the device at the present operating conditions. The device is shipped with the
CKDIV8 fuse programmed.

• Bit 7 – CLKCCE: Clock Control Change Enable
The CLKCCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKCSR bits. The CLKCCE bit is only updated when
the other bits in CLKCSR are simultaneously written to zero. CLKCCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or
when the CLKCSR bits are written. Rewriting the CLKCCE bit within this time-out period does neither extend the time-out
period, nor clear the CLKCCE bit.
• Bits 6:5 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bits 4 – CLKRDY: Clock Ready Flag
This flag is the output of the ‘clock availability ’ logic.
This flag is cleared by the ‘request for clock availability’ command or ‘enable clock source’ command being entered.
It is set when ‘clock availability’ logic confirms that the (selected) clock is running and is stable. The delay from the request
and the flag setting is not fixed, it depends on the clock start-up time, the clock frequency and, of course, if the clock is alive.
The user’s code has to differentiate between ‘no_clock_signal’ and ‘clock_signal_not_yet_available’ condition.
• Bits 3:0 – CLKC3:0: Clock Control Bits 3 - 0
These bits define the command to provide to the ‘Clock Switch’ module. The special write procedure must be followed to
change the CLKC3..0 bits (See ”Bit 7 – CLKCCE: Clock Control Change Enable” on page 40.).
1. Write the clock control change enable (CLKCCE) bit to one and all other bits in
CLKCSR to zero.
2.
Within 4 cycles, write the desired value to CLKCSR register while clearing CLKCCE bit.
Interrupts should be disabled when setting CLKCSR register in order not to disturb the procedure.

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.
When enabled, the Brown-out Detector (BOD) actively monitors the power supply voltage during the sleep periods. To
further save power, it is possible to disable the BOD in some sleep modes. See Section 5.2 “BOD Disable” on page 42 for
more details.
5.1
Sleep Modes
Figure 4-1 on page 25 presents the different clock systems in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167, and their distribution. The figure is
helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 5-1 shows the different sleep modes, their wake up sources and BOD
disable ability.

For INT1 and INT0, only level interrupt.
To enter any of the four sleep modes, the SE bit in SMCR must be written to logic one and a SLEEP instruction must be
executed. The SM1, and SM0 bits in the SMCR register select which sleep mode (Idle, ADC noise reduction, power-down,
or power-save) will be activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 5-2 on page 45 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, 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.
5.2
BOD Disable
When the brown-out detector (BOD) is enabled by BODLEVEL fuses, Table 21-3 on page 208, the BOD is actively
monitoring the power supply voltage during a sleep period. To save power, it is possible to disable the BOD by software for
some of the sleep modes, see Table 5-1. The sleep mode power consumption will then be at the same level as when BOD is
globally disabled by fuses. If BOD is disabled in software, the BOD function is turned off immediately after entering the sleep
mode. Upon wake-up from sleep, BOD is automatically enabled again. This ensures safe operation in case the Vcc level has
dropped during the sleep period.
When the BOD has been disabled, the wake-up time from sleep mode will be approximately 60 µs to ensure that the BOD is
working correctly before the MCU continues executing code.
BOD disable is controlled by BODS bit (BOD Sleep) in the control register MCUCR, see Section 5.9.2 “MCUCR – MCU
Control Register” on page 45. Setting it to one turns off the BOD in relevant sleep modes, while a zero in this bit keeps BOD
active. Default setting keeps BOD active, i.e. BODS is cleared to zero.
Writing to the BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit, see Section 5.9.2 “MCUCR – MCU Control
Register” on page 45.

ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
5.3
Idle Mode
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 00, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter idle mode, stopping the CPU but
allowing the SPI, analog comparator, ADC, USI start condition, asynchronous timer/counter, 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 SPI 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.
5.4
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, the asynchronous timer/counter 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 from the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt, only an
external Reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, a USI start condition interrupt, an
asynchronous timer/counter interrupt, an SPM/EEPROM ready interrupt, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1 or a pin
change interrupt can wake up the MCU from ADC noise reduction mode.
5.5
Power-down Mode
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 10, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter power-down mode. In this mode, the
external oscillator is stopped, while the external interrupts, the USI start condition, and the watchdog continue operating (if
enabled). Only an external reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, the USI start condition
interrupt, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode
basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only.
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from power-down mode, the changed level must be held for some
time to wake up the MCU. Refer to Section 8. “External Interrupts” on page 60 for details.
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 Section 4.2 “Clock Sources” on page 26.
5.6
Power-save Mode
When the SM1..0 bits are written to 11, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter power-save mode. This mode is
identical to power-down, with one exception:
If timer/counter0 is clocked asynchronously, i.e., the AS0 bit in ASSR is set, timer/Counter0 will run during sleep. The device
can wake up from either Timer Overflow or Output Compare event from timer/counter0 if the corresponding timer/counter0
interrupt enable bits are set in TIMSK0, and the global interrupt enable bit in SREG is set.
If the asynchronous timer is NOT clocked asynchronously, power-down mode is recommended instead of power-save mode
because the contents of the registers in the asynchronous timer should be considered undefined after wake-up in powersave mode if AS0 is 0.
This sleep mode basically halts all clocks except clkASY, allowing operation only of asynchronous modules, including
timer/counter0 if clocked asynchronously.
5.7
Power Reduction Register
The power reduction register (PRR), see Section 5.9.3 “PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 46, provides a method to
stop the clock to individual peripherals to reduce power consumption. The current state of the peripheral is frozen and the I/O
registers can not be read or written. Resources used by the peripheral when stopping the clock will remain occupied, hence
the peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the clock. Waking up a module, which is done by clearing
the bit in PRR, puts the module in the same state as before shutdown.
Module shutdown can be used in idle mode and Active mode to significantly reduce the overall power consumption. In all
other sleep modes, the clock is already stopped.

5.8
Minimizing Power Consumption
There are several possibilities to consider when trying to minimize the power consumption in an AVR® controlled system. In
general, sleep modes should be used as much as possible, and the sleep mode should be selected so that as few as
possible of the device’s functions are operating. All functions not needed should be disabled. In particular, the following
modules may need special consideration when trying to achieve the lowest possible power consumption.
5.8.1
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 Section
17. “ADC – Analog to Digital Converter” on page 176 for details on ADC operation.
5.8.2
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 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 Section 18.
“AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page 194 for details on how to configure the Analog Comparator.
5.8.3
Brown-out Detector
If the brown-out detector is not needed by the application, this module should be turned off. If the brown-out detector is
enabled by the BODLEVEL fuses, 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 Section 6.1.5 “Brown-out Detection”
on page 49 for details on how to configure the brown-out detector.
5.8.4
Internal Voltage Reference
The internal voltage reference will be enabled when needed by the brown-out detection, 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. Refer to Section 6.2 “Internal Voltage
Reference” on page 51 for details on the start-up time.
Output the internal voltage reference is not needed in the deeper sleep modes. This module should be turned off to reduce
significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to Section 16.3.1 “AMISCR – Analog Miscellaneous Control Register” on
page 175 for details on how to disable the internal voltage reference output.
5.8.5
Internal Current Source
The internal current source is not needed in the deeper sleep modes. This module should be turned off to reduce
significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to Section 16.3.1 “AMISCR – Analog Miscellaneous Control Register” on
page 175 for details on how to disable the internal current source.
5.8.6
Watchdog Timer
If the watchdog timer is not needed in the application, the module should be turned off. If the watchdog timer is enabled, it
will be enabled in all sleep modes and hence always consume power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute
significantly to the total current consumption. Refer to Section 6.3 “Watchdog Timer” on page 51 for details on how to
configure the watchdog timer.
5.8.7
Port Pins
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The most important is then to ensure
that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where both the I/O clock (clkI/O) 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 the section
Section 9.2.6 “Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes” on page 69 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.
44
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
For analog input pins, the digital input buffer should be disabled at all times. An analog signal level close to Vcc/2 on an input
pin can cause significant current even in active mode. Digital input buffers can be disabled by writing to the digital input
disable registers (DIDR1 and DIDR0). Refer to Section 17.11.6 “DIDR1 – Digital Input Disable Register 1” on page 192 and
Section 17.11.5 “DIDR0 – Digital Input Disable Register 0” on page 192 for details.
5.8.8
On-chip Debug System
If the on-chip debug system is enabled by the DWEN fuse and the chip enters sleep mode, the main clock source is enabled
and hence always consumes power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current
consumption.

The BODS bit must be written to logic one in order to turn off BOD during sleep, see Table 5-1 on page 42. Writing to the
BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit, BODSE in MCUCR. To disable BOD in relevant sleep modes,
both BODS and BODSE must first be set to one. Then, to set the BODS bit, BODS must be set to one and BODSE must be
set to zero within four clock cycles.
The BODS bit is active three clock cycles after it is set. A sleep instruction must be executed while BODS is active in order to
turn off the BOD for the actual sleep mode. The BODS bit is automatically cleared after three clock cycles.

Resetting the AVR
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from the reset vector. The
instruction placed at the reset vector must be an 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. The circuit diagram in Figure 6-1 shows the reset circuit. Tables in Section 22.5 “RESET Characteristics” on
page 225 defines the electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.
The I/O ports of the AVR® are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This does not require
any clock source to be running.
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This allows the power to
reach a stable level before normal operation starts. The time-out period of the delay counter is defined by the user through
the SUT and CKSEL fuses. The different selections for the delay period are presented in Section 4.2 “Clock Sources” on
page 26.
6.1.2
Reset Sources
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 has 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. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for longer than the minimum pulse
length.
●
Watchdog system reset. The MCU is reset when the watchdog timer period expires and the watchdog system reset
mode is enabled.
●
Brown-out reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage Vcc is below the brown-out reset threshold (VBOT) and the
brown-out detector is enabled.

Power-on Reset
A power-on reset (POR) pulse is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The detection level is defined in Table 22-4 on
page 225. The POR is activated whenever Vcc is below the detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the startup reset, as well as to detect a failure in supply voltage.
A power-on reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is reset from power-on. Reaching the power-on reset threshold
voltage invokes the delay counter, which determines how long the device is kept in RESET after Vcc rise. The RESET signal
is activated again, without any delay, when Vcc decreases below the detection level.

External Reset
An external reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer than the minimum pulse width (see
Table 22-3 on page 225) will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate
a reset. When the applied signal reaches the reset threshold voltage – VRST – on its positive edge, the delay counter starts
the MCU after the time-out period – tTOUT – has expired. The external reset can be disabled by the RSTDISBL fuse, see
Table 21-4 on page 208.

6.1.5
Brown-out Detection
Atmel® ATtiny87/167 has an on-chip brown-out detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the Vcc level during operation by
comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by the BODLEVEL fuses (Section 22-5
“BODLEVEL Fuse Coding” on page 226). The trigger level has a hysteresis to ensure spike free Brown-out Detection. The
hysteresis on the detection level should be interpreted as VBOT+ = VBOT + VHYST / 2 and VBOT– = VBOT - VHYST / 2.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
49
When the BOD is enabled, and Vcc decreases to a value below the trigger level (VBOT– in Figure 6-5), the brown-out reset is
immediately activated. When Vcc increases above the trigger level (VBOT+ in Figure 6-5), the delay counter starts the MCU
after the time-out period tTOUT has expired.
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
22-6 on page 226.

Watchdog System Reset
When the watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle duration. On the falling edge of this pulse,
the delay timer starts counting the time-out period tTOUT. Refer to page 51 for details on operation of the watchdog timer.

These bits are unused bits in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167, and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog System Reset Flag
This bit is set if a watchdog system reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.

This bit is set if a brown-out reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an external reset occurs. The bit is reset by a power-on reset, or by writing a logic zero to the flag.
• Bit 0 – PORF: Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a power-on reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a logic zero to the flag.
To make use of the reset flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then reset the MCUSR as early as
possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by
examining the reset flags.
6.2
Internal Voltage Reference
Atmel® ATtiny87/167 features an internal bandgap reference. This reference is used for brown-out detection, and it can be
used as an input to the analog comparator or the ADC.
6.2.1
Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The start-up time is given in Table
22-7 on page 226. To save power, the reference is not always turned on. The reference is on during the following situations:
1. When the BOD is enabled (by programming the BODLEVEL [2:0] fuses).
2.
When the bandgap reference is connected to the analog comparator (by setting the ACIRS bit in ACSR).
3.
When the ADC is enabled.
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACIRS bit or enabling the ADC, the user must always allow the
reference to start up before the output from the analog comparator or ADC is used. To reduce power consumption in powerdown mode or in power-save, the user can avoid the three conditions above to ensure that the reference is turned off before
entering in these power reduction modes.
6.3

Watchdog Timer Behavior
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a timer counting cycles of a separate on-chip 128KHz oscillator.

The WDT gives an interrupt or a system reset when the counter reaches a given time-out value. In normal operation mode, it
is required that the system uses the WDR - watchdog timer reset - instruction to restart the counter before the time-out value
is reached. If the system doesn't restart the counter, an interrupt or system reset will be issued.
In interrupt mode, the WDT gives an interrupt when the timer expires. This interrupt can be used to wake the device from
sleep-modes, and also as a general system timer. One example is to limit the maximum time allowed for certain operations,
giving an interrupt when the operation has run longer than expected. In system reset mode, the WDT gives a reset when the
timer expires. This is typically used to prevent system hang-up in case of runaway code. The third mode, interrupt and
system reset mode, combines the other two modes by first giving an interrupt and then switch to system reset mode. This
mode will for instance allow a safe shutdown by saving critical parameters before a system reset.
The watchdog always on (WDTON) fuse, if programmed, will force the watchdog timer to system reset mode. With the fuse
programmed the system reset mode bit (WDE) and interrupt mode bit (WDIE) are locked to 1 and 0 respectively. To further
ensure program security, alterations to the watchdog set-up must follow timed sequences. The sequence for clearing WDE
and changing time-out configuration is as follows:
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to the watchdog change enable bit (WDCE) and WDE. A logic one must
be written to WDE regardless of the previous value of the WDE bit.
2.
52
Within the next four clock cycles, write the WDE and watchdog prescaler bits (WDP) as desired, but with the
WDCE bit cleared. This must be done in one operation.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for turning off the watchdog timer. The example
assumes that interrupts are controlled (e.g. by disabling interrupts globally) so that no interrupts will occur during the
execution of these functions.

/* Write logical one to WDCE and WDE */
/* Keep old prescaler setting to prevent unintentional time-out */
WDTCR |= (1<<WDCE) | (1<<WDE);
/* Turn off WDT */
WDTCR = 0x00;
__enable_interrupt();
}
Note:
1.
See Section 1.9 “About Code Examples” on page 7.
Note that if the watchdog is accidentally enabled, for example by a runaway pointer or brown-out condition, the device will be
reset and the watchdog timer will stay enabled. If the code is not set up to handle the watchdog, this might lead to an eternal
loop of time-out resets. To avoid this situation, the application software should always clear the watchdog system reset flag
(WDRF) and the WDE control bit in the initialization routine, even if the watchdog is not in use.

/* Set new prescaler(time-out) value = 64K cycles (~0.5 s) */
WDTCR = (1<<WDE) | (1<<WDP2) | (1<<WDP0);
__enable_interrupt();
}
Notes:
6.3.2
1.
See Section 1.9 “About Code Examples” on page 7.
2.
The watchdog timer should be reset before any change of the WDP bits, since a change in the WDP bits can
result in a time-out when switching to a shorter time-out period.
Clock monitoring
The watchdog timer can be used to detect a loss of system clock. This configuration is driven by the dynamic clock switch
circuit. Please refer to Section 4.3.8 “Clock Monitoring” on page 36 for more information.

• Bit 7 - WDIF: Watchdog Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when a time-out occurs in the watchdog timer and the watchdog timer is configured for interrupt. WDIF is
cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, WDIF is cleared by writing a
logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG and WDIE are set, the watchdog time-out interrupt is executed.
• Bit 6 - WDIE: Watchdog Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in the status register is set, the watchdog interrupt is enabled. If WDE is cleared in
combination with this setting, the watchdog timer is in interrupt mode, and the corresponding interrupt is executed if time-out
in the watchdog timer occurs.
If WDE is set, the watchdog timer is in interrupt and system reset mode. The first time-out in the watchdog timer will set
WDIF. Executing the corresponding interrupt vector will clear WDIE and WDIF automatically by hardware (the watchdog
goes to system reset mode). This is useful for keeping the watchdog timer security while using the interrupt. To stay in
interrupt and system reset mode, WDIE must be set after each interrupt. This should however not be done within the
interrupt service routine itself, as this might compromise the safety-function of the watchdog system reset mode. If the
interrupt is not executed before the next time-out, a system reset will be applied.
If the watchdog timer is used as clock monitor (c.f. Section • “Bits 3:0 – CLKC3:0: Clock Control Bits 3 - 0” on page 40), the
system reset mode is enabled and the interrupt mode is automatically disabled.

• Bit 4 - WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable
This bit is used in timed sequences for changing WDE and prescaler bits. To clear the WDE bit, and/or change the prescaler
bits, WDCE must be set.
Once written to one, hardware will clear WDCE after four clock cycles.
• Bit 3 - WDE: Watchdog System Reset Enable
WDE is overridden by WDRF in MCUSR. This means that WDE is always set when WDRF is set. To clear WDE, WDRF
must be cleared first. This feature ensures multiple resets during conditions causing failure, and a safe start-up after the
failure.
• Bit 5, 2..0 - WDP3..0: Watchdog Timer Prescaler 3, 2, 1 and 0
The WDP3..0 bits determine the watchdog timer prescaling when the watchdog timer is running. The different prescaling
values and their corresponding time-out periods are shown in Table 6-2 on page 56.

External Interrupts
8.1
Overview
The external interrupts are triggered by the INT1..0 pins or any of the PCINT15..0 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the
interrupts will trigger even if the INT1..0 or PCINT15..0 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of
generating a software interrupt.
The pin change interrupt PCINT1 will trigger if any enabled PCINT15..8 pin toggles. The pin change interrupt PCINT0 will
trigger if any enabled PCINT7..0 pin toggles. The PCMSK1 and PCMSK0 Registers control which pins contribute to the pin
change interrupts. Pin change interrupts on PCINT15..0 are detected asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can
be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.
The INT1..0 interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up as indicated in the specification
for the external interrupt control register A – EICRA. When the INT1..0 interrupts are enabled and are configured as level
triggered, the interrupts will trigger as long as the pin is held low. The recognition of falling or rising edge interrupts on
INT1..0 requires the presence of an I/O clock, described in Section 4.1 “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 25.
Low level interrupts and the edge interrupt on INT1..0 are detected asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can be
used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode. The I/O clock is halted in all sleep modes except idle
mode.
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from power-down or power-save, the required level must be held
long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the level interrupt. If the level disappears before the end of the
Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The start-up time is defined by the SUT and
CKSEL Fuses as described in Section 4.1 “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 25.

• Bit 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are unused bits in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167, and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3, 2 – ISC11, ISC10: Interrupt Sense Control 1 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The external interrupt 1 is activated by the external pin INT1 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt mask are set.
The level and edges on the external INT1 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in Table 8-1. The value on the INT1 pin is
sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will
generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is selected, the low
level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to generate an interrupt.
• Bit 1, 0 – ISC01, ISC00: Interrupt Sense Control 0 Bit 1 and Bit 0
The external interrupt 0 is activated by the external pin INT0 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt mask are set.
The level and edges on the external INT0 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in Table 8-1. The value on the INT0 pin is
sampled before detecting edges. If edge or toggle interrupt is selected, pulses that last longer than one clock period will
generate an interrupt. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate an interrupt. If low level interrupt is selected, the low
level must be held until the completion of the currently executing instruction to generate an interrupt.

I/O-Ports
9.1
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 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 9-1.
Refer to Section 22. “Electrical Characteristics” on page 222 for a complete list of parameters.

See Figure
”General Digital I/O”
for Details
All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the numbering letter for
the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the
precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn. The
physical I/O registers and bit locations are listed in Section 9.4 “Register Description for I/O Ports” on page 82.
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. However, writing a logic one to a bit in the PINx register, will result in a toggle in the
corresponding bit in the data register. In addition, the pull-up disable – PUD bit in MCUCR or PUDx in PORTCR 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 Section 9.2 “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page 65. 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 Section 9.3 “Alternate Port Functions” on page 70. 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.

Configuring the Pin
Each port pin consists of three register bits: DDxn, PORTxn, and PINxn. As shown in Section 9.4 “Register Description for
I/O Ports” on page 82, 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 pullup resistor off, PORTxn has to be written logic zero or the pin has to be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tristated when 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).

9.2.2
Toggling the Pin
Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of DDRxn. Note that the SBI assembler
instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.
9.2.3
Break-before-make Switching
In the break-before-make mode when switching the DDRxn bit from input to output an immediate tri-state period lasting one
system clock cycle is introduced as indicated in Figure 9-3. For example, if the system clock is 4MHz and the DDRxn is
written to make an output, the immediate tri-state period of 250ns is introduced, before the value of PORTxn is seen on the
port pin. To avoid glitches it is recommended that the maximum DDRxn toggle frequency is two system clock cycles. The
break-before-make is a port-wise mode and it is activated by the port-wise BBMx enable bits. For further information about
the BBMx bits, see Section 9.3.2 “Port Control Register – PORTCR” on page 72. When switching the DDRxn bit from output
to input there is no immediate tri-state period introduced.

Switching Between Input and Output
When switching between tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 0) and output high ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 1), an intermediate state
with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 1) or output low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 0) must occur. Normally, the pull-up
enabled state is fully acceptable, as a high-impudent 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 or the PUDx bit in PORTCR register can be set to
disable all pull-ups in the port.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user must use either the tri-state
({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 0) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 1, 1) as an intermediate step.

Port Pin Configurations
1.
Reading the Pin Value
Independent of the setting of data direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through the PINxn register bit. As shown in
Figure 9-2, 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 9-4 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.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]

When reading back a software assigned pin value, a nop instruction must be inserted as indicated in Figure 9-5. The out
instruction sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the
synchronizer is 1 system clock period.

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.

For the assembly program, two temporary registers are used to minimize the time from pull-ups 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.

9.2.6
Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes
As shown in Figure 9-2, 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 or power-save 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 Section 9.3
“Alternate Port Functions” on page 70.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin configured as “interrupt on rising edge, falling
edge, or any logic change on pin” while the external interrupt is not enabled, the corresponding external Interrupt flag will be
set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested
logic change.
9.2.7
Unconnected Pins
If some pins are unused, it is recommended to ensure that these pins have a defined level. Even though most of the digital
inputs are disabled in the deep sleep modes as described above, floating inputs should be avoided to reduce current
consumption in all other modes where the digital inputs are enabled (reset, active mode and idle mode).
The simplest method to ensure a defined level of an unused pin, is to enable the internal pull-up. In this case, the pull-up will
be disabled during reset. If low power consumption during reset is important, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or
pull-down. Connecting unused pins directly to Vcc or GND is not recommended, since this may cause excessive currents if
the pin is accidentally configured as an output.

Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate functions in addition to being general digital I/Os. Figure 9-6 shows how the port pin control
signals from the simplified Figure 9-2 on page 65 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.

Full Name
Description
If this signal is set, the pull-up enable is controlled by the PUOV signal. If
Pull-up override enable this signal is cleared, the pull-up is enabled when {DDxn, PORTxn, (PUD or
PDUx)} = 0, 1, 0.
If PUOE is set, the pull-up is enabled/disabled when PUOV is set/cleared,
regardless of the setting of the DDxn, PORTxn, PUD and PUDx register
bits.
PUOV
Pull-up override value
DDOE
If this signal is set, the Output Driver Enable is controlled by the DDOV
Data direction override
signal. If this signal is cleared, the Output driver is enabled by the DDxn
enable
Register bit.
DDOV
Data direction override If DDOE is set, the output driver is enabled/disabled when DDOV is
value
set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the DDxn register bit.
PVOE
Port value override
enable
If this signal is set and the output driver is enabled, the port value is
controlled by the PVOV signal. If PVOE is cleared, and the output driver is
enabled, the port Value is controlled by the PORTxn register bit.
PVOV
Port value override value
If PVOE is set, the port value is set to PVOV, regardless of the setting of the
PORTxn register bit.
PTOE
Port toggle override
enable
If PTOE is set, the PORTxn register bit is inverted.
DIEOE
Digital input enable
override enable
If this bit is set, the digital input enable is controlled by the DIEOV signal. If
this signal is cleared, the digital input enable is determined by MCU state
(normal mode, sleep mode).
DIEOV
Digital input enable
override value
If DIEOE is set, the digital input is enabled/disabled when DIEOV is
set/cleared, regardless of the MCU state (normal mode, sleep mode).
DI
Digital Input
AIO
Analog input/output
This is the digital input to alternate functions. In the figure, the signal is
connected to the output of the Schmitt Trigger but before the synchronizer.
Unless the digital input is used as a clock source, the module with the
alternate function will use its own synchronizer.
This is the analog input/output to/from alternate functions. The signal is
connected directly to the pad, and can be used bi-directionally.
The following subsections shortly describe the alternate functions for each port, and relate the overriding signals to the
alternate function. Refer to the alternate function description for further details.

• Bits 5, 4 – BBMx: Break-Before-Make Mode Enable
When these bits are written to one, the port-wise break-before-make mode is activated. The intermediate tri-state cycle is
then inserted when writing DDRxn to make an output. For further information, see Section 9.2.3 “Break-before-make
Switching” on page 66.
• Bits 1, 0 – PUDx: Port-Wise Pull-up Disable
When these bits are written to one, the port-wise pull-ups in the defined I/O ports are disabled even if the DDxn and PORTxn
registers are configured to enable the pull-ups ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0, 1). The port-wise pull-up disable bits are ORed with the
global pull-up disable bit (PUD) from the MCUCR register. See See ”Configuring the Pin” on page 65. for more details about
this feature.

The alternate pin configuration is as follows:
• PCINT7/ADC7/AIN1/XREF/AREF – Port A, Bit7
PCINT7: pin change interrupt, source 7.
ADC7: analog to digital converter, channel 7.
AIN1: analog comparator positive input. This pin is directly connected to the positive input of the analog comparator.
XREF: internal voltage reference output. The internal voltage reference 2.56V or 1.1V is output when XREFEN is set and if
either 2.56V or 1.1V is used as reference for ADC conversion. When XREF output is enabled, the pin port pull-up and digital
output driver are turned off.
AREF: external voltage reference input for ADC. The pin port pull-up and digital output driver are disabled when the pin is
used as an external voltage reference input for ADC or as when the pin is only used to connect a bypass capacitor for the
voltage reference of the ADC.
• PCINT6/ADC6/AIN0/SS – Port A, Bit6
PCINT6: pin change interrupt, source 6.
ADC6: analog to digital converter, channel 6.
AIN0: analog comparator negative input. This pin is directly connected to the negative input of the analog comparator.
SS: SPI slave select input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the setting of
DDA6. As a slave, the SPI is activated when this pin is driven low. When the SPI is enabled as a master, the data direction
of this pin is controlled by DDA6. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTA6 bit.
• PCINT5/ADC5/T1/USCK/SCL/SCK – Port A, Bit5
PCINT5: pin change interrupt, source 5.
ADC5: analog to digital converter, channel 5.
T1: timer/counter1 clock input.
USCK: three-wire mode USI clock input.
SCL: two-wire mode USI clock input.
SCK: SPI master clock output, slave clock input pin. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is configured as an input
regardless of the setting of DDA5. When the SPI is enabled as a master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDA5.
When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTA5 bit.
• PCINT4/ADC4/ICP1/DI/SDA/MOSI – Port A, Bit 4
PCINT4: pin change interrupt, source 4.
ADC4: analog to digital converter, channel 4.
ICP1: timer/counter1 input capture trigger. The PA3 pin can act as an input capture pin for timer/counter1.
DI: three-wire mode USI data input. USI three-wire mode does not override normal port functions, so pin must be configure
as an input for DI function.
SDA: two-wire mode serial interface (USI) data input / output.
MOSI: SPI master output / slave input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is configured as an input regardless of
the setting of DDA3. When the SPI is enabled as a master, the data direction of this pin is controlled by DDA3. When the pin
is forced by the SPI to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by the PORTA3 bit.
• PCINT3/ADC3/ISRC/INT1 – Port A, Bit 3
PCINT3: pin change interrupt, source 3.
ADC3: analog to digital converter, channel 3.
ISCR: current source output pin. While current is sourced by the current source module, the user can use the analog to
digital converter channel 4 (ADC4) to measure the pin voltage.
INT1: external interrupt, source 1. The PA4 pin can serve as an external interrupt source.
74
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
PCINT2/ADC2/OC0A/DO/MISO – Port A, Bit 2
PCINT2: pin change interrupt, source 2.
ADC2: analog to digital converter, channel 2.
OC0A: output compare match A or output PWM A for timer/counter0. The pin has to be configured as an output (DDA2 set
(one)) to serve these functions.
DO: three-wire mode USI data output. Three-wire mode data output overrides PORTA2 and it is driven to the port when the
data direction bit DDA2 is set. PORTA2 still enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTA2 is set (one).
MISO: master data input, slave data output pin for SPI channel. When the SPI is enabled as a master, this pin is configured
as an input regardless of the setting of DDA2. When the SPI is enabled as a slave, the data direction of this pin is controlled
by DDA2. When the pin is forced to be an input, the pull-up can still be controlled by PORTA2.
• PCINT1/ADC1/TXD/TXLIN – Port A, Bit 1
PCINT1: pin change interrupt, source 1.
ADC1: analog to digital converter, channel 1.
TXD: UART transmit pin. When the UART transmitter is enabled, this pin is configured as an output regardless the value of
DDA1. PORTA1 still enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTA2 is set (one).
TXLIN: LIN transmit pin. When the LIN is enabled, this pin is configured as an output regardless the value of DDA1.
PORTA1 still enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTA2 is set (one).
• PCINT0/ADC0/RXD/RXLIN – Port A, Bit 0
PCINT0: pin change interrupt, source 0.
ADC0: analog to digital converter, channel 0.
RXD: UART receive pin. When the UART receiver is enabled, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the value of
DDA0. When the pin is forced to be an input, a logical one in PORTA0 will turn on the internal pull-up.
RXLIN: LIN receive pin. When the LIN is enabled, this pin is configured as an input regardless of the value of DDA0. When
the pin is forced to be an input, a logical one in PORTA0 will turn on the internal pull-up.

The alternate pin configuration is as follows:
• PCINT15/ADC10/OC1BX/RESET/dW – Port B, Bit 7
PCINT15: pin change interrupt, source 15.
ADC10: analog to digital converter, channel 10.
OC1BX: output compare and PWM output B-X for timer/counter1. The PB7 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB7 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1BX pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BX bit of
TCCR1D register).
RESET: reset input pin. When the RSTDISBL fuse is programmed, this pin functions as a normal I/O pin, and the part will
have to rely on power-on reset and brown-out reset as its reset sources. When the RSTDISBL fuse is unprogrammed, the
reset circuitry is connected to the pin, and the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
If PB7 is used as a reset pin, DDB7, PORTB7 and PINB7 will all read 0.
dW: when the debugWIRE enable (DWEN) Fuse is programmed and lock bits are unprogrammed, the RESET port pin is
configured as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-directional I/O pin with pull-up enabled and becomes the communication gateway
between target and emulator.
• PCINT14/ADC9/OC1AX/INT0 – Port B, Bit 6
PCINT14: pin change interrupt, source 14.
ADC9: analog to digital converter, channel 9.
OC1AX: output compare and PWM Output A-X for timer/counter1. The PB6 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB6 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1AX pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AX bit of
TCCR1D register).
INT0: external interrupt0 Input. The PB6 pin can serve as an external interrupt source.
• PCINT13/ADC8/OC1BW/XTAL2/CLKO – Port B, Bit 5
PCINT13: pin change interrupt, source 13.
ADC8: analog to digital converter, channel 8.
OC1BW: output compare and PWM Output B-W for timer/counter1. The PB5 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB5
set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1BW pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BW bit of
TCCR1D register).
XTAL2: chip clock oscillator pin 2. Used as clock pin for crystal oscillator or low-frequency crystal oscillator. When used as a
clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
CLKO: divided system clock output. The divided system clock can be output on the PB5 pin. The divided system clock will be
output if the CKOUT fuse is programmed, regardless of the PORTB5 and DDB5 settings. It will also be output during reset.
• PCINT12/OC1AW/XTAL1/CLKI – Port B, Bit 4
PCINT12: pin change interrupt, source 12.
OC1AW: output compare and PWM Output A-W for timer/counter1. The PB4 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB4
set (one)) to serve this function. The OC1AW pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AW bit of
TCCR1D register).
XTAL1: chip clock oscillator pin 1. Used for all chip clock sources except internal calibrated RC oscillator. When used as a
clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
CLKI: external clock input. When used as a clock pin, the pin can not be used as an I/O pin.
Note:
If PB4 is used as a clock pin (XTAL1 or CLKI), DDB4, PORTB4 and PINB4 will all read 0.
• PCINT11/OC1BV – Port B, Bit 3
PCINT11: pin change interrupt, source 11.
OC1BV: output compare and PWM output B-V for timer/counter1. The PB3 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB3 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1BV pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BV bit of
TCCR1D register).
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
79
• PCINT10/OC1AV/USCK/SCL – Port B, Bit 2
PCINT10: pin change interrupt, source 10.
OC1AV: output compare and PWM Output A-V for timer/counter1. The PB2 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB2 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1AV pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AV bit of
TCCR1D register).
USCK: three-wire mode USI clock input.
SCL: two-wire mode USI clock input.
• PCINT9/OC1BU/DO – Port B, Bit 1
PCINT9: pin change interrupt, source 9.
OC1BU: output compare and PWM output B-U for timer/counter1. The PB1 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB1 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1BU pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1BU bit of
TCCR1D register).
DO: three-wire mode USI data output. Three-wire mode data output overrides PORTB1 and it is driven to the port when the
data direction bit DDB1 is set. PORTB1 still enables the pull-up, if the direction is input and PORTB1 is set (one).
• PCINT8/OC1AU/DI/SDA – Port B, Bit 0
IPCINT8: pin change interrupt, source 8.
OC1AU: output compare and PWM output A-U for timer/counter1. The PB0 pin has to be configured as an output (DDB0 set
(one)) to serve this function. The OC1AU pin is also the output pin for the PWM mode timer function (c.f. OC1AU bit of
TCCR1D register).
DI: three-wire mode USI data input. USI three-wire mode does not override normal port functions, so pin must be configure
as an input for DI function.
SDA: two-wire mode serial interface (USI) data input / output.

Overview
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form.
● A lower case “n” replaces the timer/counter number, in this case 0. However, when using the register or bit defines in
a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT0 for accessing timer/counter0 counter value and so on.
●
A lower case “x” replaces the output compare unit channel, in this case A. However, when using the register or bit
defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., OCR0A for accessing timer/counter0 output compare
channel A value and so on.

The timer/counter (TCNT0) and output compare register (OCR0A) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt request (shorten as Int.Req.)
signals are all visible in the timer interrupt flag register (TIFR0). All interrupts are individually masked with the timer interrupt
mask register (TIMSK0). TIFR0 and TIMSK0 are not shown in the figure.
The timer/counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or asynchronously clocked from the XTAL1/2 pins, as detailed
later in this section. The asynchronous operation is controlled by the asynchronous status register (ASSR). The clock select
logic block controls which clock source the timer/counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The timer/counter is
inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clkT0).
The double buffered output compare register (OCR0A) is compared with the timer/counter value at all times. The result of
the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the output
compare pin (OC0A). Section 10.5 “Output Compare Unit” on page 86 for details. The compare match event will also set the
compare flag (OCF0A) which can be used to generate an output compare interrupt request.

10.2.1 Definitions
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:
● BOTTOM: The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes zero (0x00).
●
●
10.3
MAX: The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFF (decimal 255).
TOP: The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence. The TOP
value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF (MAX) or the value stored in the OCR0A register. The assignment is
dependent on the mode of operation.
Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The timer/counter can be clocked by an internal synchronous or an external asynchronous clock source. The clock source is
selected by the clock select logic which is controlled by the clock select (CS02:0) bits located in the timer/counter control
register (TCCR0).The clock source clkT0 is by default equal to the MCU clock, clkI/O. When the AS0 bit in the ASSR register
is written to logic one, the clock source is taken from the timer/counter oscillator connected to XTAL1 and XTAL2 or directly
from XTAL1. For details on asynchronous operation, see Section 10.11.4 “Asynchronous Status Register – ASSR” on page
98. For details on clock sources and prescaler, see Section 10.10 “Timer/Counter0 Prescaler” on page 95.
10.4
Counter Unit
The main part of the 8-bit timer/counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit. Figure 10-2 shows a block diagram
of the counter and its surrounding environment.

Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at each timer clock (clkT0).
clkT0 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, selected by the clock Select bits (CS02:0). When no clock
source is selected (CS02:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT0 value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of
whether clkT0 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM01 and WGM00 bits located in the timer/counter control
register (TCCR0A). There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are
generated on the output compare output OC0A. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform
generation, see Section 10.7 “Modes of Operation” on page 88.
The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV0) is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM01:0 bits. TOV0 can
be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

10.5
Output Compare Unit
The 8-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT0 with the output compare register (OCR0A). Whenever TCNT0 equals
OCR0A, the comparator signals a match. A match will set the output compare flag (OCF0A) at the next timer clock cycle. If
enabled (OCIE0A = 1), the output compare flag generates an output compare interrupt. The OCF0A flag is automatically
cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the OCF0A flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to
its I/O bit location. The waveform generator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by
the WGM01:0 bits and compare output mode (COM0A1:0) bits. The max and bottom signals are used by the waveform
generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (Section 10.7 “Modes of
Operation” on page 88).
Figure 10-3 shows a block diagram of the output compare unit.

The OCR0A register is double buffered when using any of the pulse width modulation (PWM) modes. For the normal and
clear timer on compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the
update of the OCR0A compare register to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR0A register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the CPU has
access to the OCR0A buffer register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR0A directly.
10.5.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by writing a one to the force
output compare (FOC0A) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the OCF0A flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC0A pin
will be updated as if a real compare match had occurred (the COM0A1:0 bits settings define whether the OC0A pin is set,
cleared or toggled).
10.5.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write
All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 register will block any compare match that occurs in the next timer clock cycle, even
when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0A to be initialized to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an
interrupt when the timer/counter clock is enabled.

ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
10.5.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are risks
involved when changing TCNT0 when using the output compare channel, independently of whether the timer/counter is
running or not. If the value written to TCNT0 equals the OCR0A value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in
incorrect waveform generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT0 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down
counting.
The setup of the OC0A should be performed before setting the data direction register for the port pin to output. The easiest
way of setting the OC0A value is to use the force output compare (FOC0A) strobe bit in normal mode. The OC0A register
keeps its value even when changing between waveform generation modes.
Be aware that the COM0A1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value. Changing the COM0A1:0 bits
will take effect immediately.
10.6
Compare Match Output Unit
The compare output mode (COM0A1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses the COM0A1:0 bits for
defining the output compare (OC0A) state at the next compare match. Also, the COM0A1:0 bits control the OC0A pin output
source. Figure 10-4 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM0A1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O
bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O port control registers (DDR and PORT)
that are affected by the COM0A1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC0A state, the reference is for the internal OC0A
register, not the OC0A pin.

10.6.1 Compare Output Function
The general I/O port function is overridden by the output compare (OC0A) from the waveform generator if either of the
COM0A1:0 bits are set. However, the OC0A pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the data direction register
(DDR) for the port pin. The data direction register bit for the OC0A pin (DDR_OC0A) must be set as output before the OC0A
value is visible on the pin. The port override function is independent of the waveform generation mode.
The design of the output compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC0A state before the output is enabled. Note that
some COM0A1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation. Section 10.11 “8-bit Timer/Counter Register
Description” on page 95
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
87
10.6.2 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The waveform generator uses the COM0A1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting the
COM0A1:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC0A register is to be performed on the next compare
match. For compare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 10-1 on page 96. For fast PWM mode, refer to
Table 10-2 on page 96, and for phase correct PWM refer to Table 10-3 on page 96.
A change of the COM0A1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are written. For non-PWM
modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the FOC0A strobe bits.
10.7
Modes of Operation
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the timer/counter and the output compare pins, is defined by the combination of
the waveform generation mode (WGM01:0) and compare output mode (COM0A1:0) bits. The compare output mode bits do
not affect the counting sequence, while the waveform generation mode bits do. The COM0A1:0 bits control whether the
PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM0A1:0 bits
control whether the output should be set, cleared, or toggled at a compare match (Section 10.6 “Compare Match Output
Unit” on page 87).
For detailed timing information refer to Section 10.8 “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 92.
10.7.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the normal mode (WGM01:0 = 0). In this mode the counting direction is always up
(incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value
(TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the timer/counter overflow flag (TOV0) will be
set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 becomes zero. The TOV0 flag in this case behaves like a ninth bit, except
that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0 flag,
the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to consider in the normal mode, a new counter
value can be written anytime.
The output compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the output compare to generate
waveforms in normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.
10.7.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In clear timer on compare or CTC mode (WGM01:0 = 2), the OCR0A register is used to manipulate the counter resolution. In
CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0A. The OCR0A defines the top
value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It
also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 10-5. The counter value (TCNT0) increases until a compare match
occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and then counter (TCNT0) is cleared.

An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by using the OCF0A flag. If the interrupt
is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value
close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC
mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR0A is lower than the current value of
TCNT0, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFF) and wrap
around starting at 0x00 before the compare match can occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC0A output can be set to toggle its logical level on each compare
match by setting the compare output mode bits to toggle mode (COM0A1:0 = 1). The OC0A value will not be visible on the
port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of
fOC0A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR0A is set to zero (0x00). The waveform frequency is defined by the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnx = ------------------------------------------------2  N   1 + OCRnx 
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
As for the normal mode of operation, the TOV0 flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the counter counts from MAX to
0x00.
10.7.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast pulse width modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 3) provides a high frequency PWM waveform generation
option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to
MAX then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting compare output mode, the output compare (OC0A) is cleared on the
compare match between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and set at BOTTOM. In inverting compare output mode, the output is set on
compare match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the fast PWM mode
can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM mode that uses dual-slope operation. This high frequency makes the fast
PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small
sized external components (coils, capacitors), and therefore reduces total system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the MAX value. The counter is then cleared
at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 10-6. The TCNT0 value is in
the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes represent compare matches between OCR0A
and TCNT0.

In fast PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0A pin. Setting the COM0A1:0 bits to
two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM0A1:0 to three (See
Table 10-2 on page 96). The actual OC0A value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set
as output. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC0A register at the compare match between
OCR0A and TCNT0, and clearing (or setting) the OC0A register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from
MAX to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnxPWM = ----------------N  256
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0A register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the fast
PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle.
Setting the OCR0A equal to MAX will result in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by
the COM0A1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC0A to toggle its logical
level on each compare match (COM0A1:0 = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of foc0A = fclk_I/O/2
when OCR0A is set to zero. This feature is similar to the OC0A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the
output compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
10.7.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct PWM mode (WGM01:0 = 1) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option.
The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to MAX
and then from MAX to BOTTOM. In non-inverting compare output mode, the output compare (OC0A) is cleared on the
compare match between TCNT0 and OCR0A while up counting, and set on the compare match while down counting. In
inverting output compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency
than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are
preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode is fixed to eight bits. In phase correct PWM mode the counter is
incremented until the counter value matches MAX. When the counter reaches MAX, it changes the count direction. The
TCNT0 value will be equal to MAX for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown
on Figure 10-7 on page 91. The TCNT0 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope
operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0
slopes represent compare matches between OCR0A and TCNT0.

The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. The interrupt flag can be used to
generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the OC0A pin. Setting the
COM0A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the
COM0A1:0 to three (See Table 10-3 on page 96). The actual OC0A value will only be visible on the port pin if the data
direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC0A Register at the
compare match between OCR0A and TCNT0 when the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC0A register at
compare match between OCR0A and TCNT0 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using
phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnxPCPWM = ----------------N  510
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0A register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the phase
correct PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the
output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic
values.

The following figures show the timer/counter in synchronous mode, and the timer clock (clkT0) is therefore shown as a clock
enable signal. In asynchronous mode, clkI/O should be replaced by the timer/counter oscillator clock. The figures include
information on when interrupt flags are set. Figure 10-8 contains timing data for basic timer/counter operation. The figure

Asynchronous Operation of Timer/Counter0
When timer/counter0 operates asynchronously, some considerations must be taken.
Warning:
1.
When switching between asynchronous and synchronous clocking of timer/counter0, the timer registers
TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A might be corrupted. A safe procedure for switching clock source is:
Disable the timer/counter0 interrupts by clearing OCIE0A and TOIE0.
2.
Select clock source by setting AS0 and EXCLK as appropriate.
3.
Write new values to TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A.
4.
To switch to asynchronous operation: wait for TCN0UB, OCR0UB, and TCR0UB.
5.
Clear the timer/counter0 interrupt flags.
6.
Enable interrupts, if needed.
●
If an 32.768kHz watch crystal is used, the CPU main clock frequency must be more than four times the oscillator or
external clock frequency.
●
When writing to one of the registers TCNT0, OCR0A, or TCCR0A, the value is transferred to a temporary register,
and latched after two positive edges on TOSC1. The user should not write a new value before the contents of the
temporary register have been transferred to its destination. Each of the three mentioned registers have their individual
temporary register, which means that e.g. writing to TCNT0 does not disturb an OCR0A write in progress. To detect
that a transfer to the destination register has taken place, the asynchronous status register – ASSR has been
implemented.
●
When entering power-save mode after having written to TCNT0, OCR0A, or TCCR0A, the user must wait until the
written register has been updated if timer/counter0 is used to wake up the device. Otherwise, the MCU will enter sleep
mode before the changes are effective. This is particularly important if the output compare0 interrupt is used to wake
up the device, since the output compare function is disabled during writing to OCR0A or TCNT0. If the write cycle is
not finished, and the MCU enters sleep mode before the OCR0UB bit returns to zero, the device will never receive a
compare match interrupt, and the MCU will not wake up.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
93
●
If timer/counter0 is used to wake the device up from power-save mode, precautions must be taken if the user wants to
re-enter one of these modes: The interrupt logic needs one TOSC1 cycle to be reset. If the time between wake-up
and re-entering sleep mode is less than one TOSC1 cycle, the interrupt will not occur, and the device will fail to wake
up. If the user is in doubt whether the time before re-entering power-save mode is sufficient, the following algorithm
can be used to ensure that one TOSC1 cycle has elapsed:
a.
b.
Wait until the corresponding update busy flag in ASSR returns to zero.
c.
Enter power-save or ADC noise reduction mode.
●
When the asynchronous operation is selected, the oscillator for timer/counter0 is always running, except in powerdown mode. After a power-up reset or wake-up from power-down mode, the user should be aware of the fact that this
oscillator might take as long as one second to stabilize. The user is advised to wait for at least one second before
using timer/counter0 after power-up or wake-up from power-down mode. The contents of all timer/counter0 registers
must be considered lost after a wake-up from power-down mode due to unstable clock signal upon start-up, no matter
whether the oscillator is in use or a clock signal is applied to the XTAL1 pin.
●
Description of wake up from power-save mode when the timer is clocked asynchronously: When the interrupt
condition is met, the wake up process is started on the following cycle of the timer clock, that is, the timer is always
advanced by at least one before the processor can read the counter value. After wake-up, the MCU is halted for four
cycles, it executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP.
●
Reading of the TCNT0 register shortly after wake-up from power-save may give an incorrect result. Since TCNT0 is
clocked on the asynchronous clock, reading TCNT0 must be done through a register synchronized to the internal I/O
clock domain (CPU main clock). Synchronization takes place for every rising XTAL1 edge. When waking up from
power-save mode, and the I/O clock (clkI/O) again becomes active, TCNT0 will read as the previous value (before
entering sleep) until the next rising XTAL1 edge. The phase of the XTAL1 clock after waking up from power-save
mode is essentially unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for reading
TCNT0 is thus as follows:
a.
●
94
Write a value to TCCR0A, TCNT0, or OCR0A.
Write any value to either of the registers OCR0A or TCCR0A.
b.
Wait for the corresponding update busy flag to be cleared.
c.
Read TCNT0.
During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the interrupt flags for the asynchronous timer takes
3 processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is therefore advanced by at least one before the processor can
read the timer value causing the setting of the interrupt flag. The output compare pin is changed on the timer clock
and is not synchronized to the processor clock.

Timer/Countern Clock Source
clkTn
The clock source for timer/counter0 is named clkT0S. clkT0S is by default connected to the main system I/O clock clkIO. By
setting the AS0 bit in ASSR, timer/counter0 is asynchronously clocked from the XTAL oscillator or XTAL1 pin. This enables
use of timer/counter0 as a real time counter (RTC).
A crystal can then be connected between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins to serve as an independent clock source for
timer/counter0.
A external clock can also be used using XTAL1 as input. Setting AS0 and EXCLK enables this configuration.
For timer/counter0, the possible prescaled selections are: clkT0S/8, clkT0S/32, clkT0S/64, clkT0S/128, clkT0S/256, and
clkT0S/1024. Additionally, clkT0S as well as 0 (stop) may be selected. Setting the PSR0 bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler.
This allows the user to operate with a predictable prescaler.

• Bit 7:6 – COM0A1:0: Compare Match Output Mode A
These bits control the output compare pin (OC0A) behavior. If one or both of the COM0A1:0 bits are set, the OC0A output
overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the data direction register (DDR)
bit corresponding to OC0A pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC0A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0A1:0 bits depends on the WGM01:0 bit setting. Table 10-1 on
page 96 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM01:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

• Bit 7 – FOC0A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC0A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR0B is written when operating
in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0A bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the waveform
generation unit. The OC0A output is changed according to its COM0A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC0A bit is
implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the forced
compare.
A FOC0A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR0A as TOP.
The FOC0A bit is always read as zero.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – EXCLK: Enable External Clock Input
When EXCLK is written to one, and asynchronous clock is selected, the external clock input buffer is enabled and an
external clock can be input on XTAL1 pin instead of an external crystal. Writing to EXCLK should be done before
asynchronous operation is selected. Note that the crystal oscillator will only run when this bit is zero.
• Bit 5 – AS0: Asynchronous Timer/Counter0
When AS0 is written to zero, timer/counter0 is clocked from the I/O clock, clkI/O and the timer/counter0 acts as a
synchronous peripheral.
When AS0 is written to one, timer/counter0 is clocked from the low-frequency crystal oscillator (see Section 4.2.5 “Lowfrequency Crystal Oscillator” on page 31) or from external clock on XTAL1 pin (see Section 4.2.6 “External Clock” on page
31) depending on EXCLK setting. When the value of AS0 is changed, the contents of TCNT0, OCR0A, and TCCR0A might
be corrupted.
AS0 also acts as a flag: timer/counter0 is clocked from the low-frequency crystal or from external clock ONLY IF the
calibrated internal RC oscillator or the internal watchdog oscillator is used to drive the system clock. After setting AS0, if the
switching is available, AS0 remains to 1, else it is forced to 0.
• Bit 4 – TCN0UB: Timer/Counter0 Update Busy
When timer/counter0 operates asynchronously and TCNT0 is written, this bit becomes set. When TCNT0 has been updated
from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCNT0 is ready to
be updated with a new value.

ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 2 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 1 – TCR0AUB: Timer/Counter0 Control Register A Update Busy
When timer/counter0 operates asynchronously and TCCR0A is written, this bit becomes set. When TCCR0A has been
updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR0A
is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 0 – TCR0BUB: Timer/Counter0 Control Register B Update Busy
When timer/counter0 operates asynchronously and TCCR0B is written, this bit becomes set. When TCCR0B has been
updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit indicates that TCCR0B
is ready to be updated with a new value.
If a write is performed to any of the four timer/counter0 registers while its update busy flag is set, the updated value might get
corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT0, OCR0A, TCCR0A and TCCR0B are different. When reading TCNT0, the actual timer
value is read. When reading OCR0A, TCCR0A or TCCR0B the value in the temporary storage register is read.

Timer/Counter1 Prescaler
11.1
Overview
Most bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “n” replaces the timer/counter number.
11.1.1 Internal Clock Source
The timer/counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 = 1). This provides the fastest
operation, with a maximum timer/counter clock frequency equal to system clock frequency (fCLK_I/O). Alternatively, one of
four taps from the prescaler can be used as a clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either fCLK_I/O/8,
fCLK_I/O/64, fCLK_I/O/256, or fCLK_I/O/1024.
11.1.2 Prescaler Reset
The prescaler is free running, i.e., operates independently of the clock select logic of the timer/counter. Since the prescaler is
not affected by the timer/counter’s clock select, the state of the prescaler will have implications for situations where a
prescaled clock is used. One example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the timer is enabled and clocked by the prescaler
(6 > CSn2:0 >1). The number of system clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1
to N+1 system clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the timer/counter to program execution. However, care must be
taken if the other timer/counter that shares the same prescaler also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the
prescaler period for all timer/counters it is connected to.
11.1.3 External Clock Source
An external clock source applied to the T1 pin can be used as timer/counter clock (clkT1). The T1 pin is sampled once every
system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchronized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge
detector. Figure 11-1 shows a functional equivalent block diagram of the T1 synchronization and edge detector logic. The
registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (clkI/O). The latch is transparent in the high period of
the internal system clock.
The edge detector generates one clkT1 pulse for each positive (CSn2:0 =7) or negative (CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.

The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles from an edge has been
applied to the T1 pin to the counter is updated.
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when T1 has been stable for at least one system clock cycle,
otherwise it is a risk that a false timer/counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to ensure correct sampling. The
external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the system clock frequency (fExtClk < fclk_I/O/2) given a 50/50 %
duty cycle. Since the edge detector uses sampling, the maximum frequency of an external clock it can detect is half the
sampling frequency (nyquist sampling theorem). However, due to variation of the system clock frequency and duty cycle
caused by oscillator source (crystal, resonator, and capacitors) tolerances, it is recommended that maximum frequency of an
external clock source is less than fclk_I/O/2.5.
An external clock source can not be prescaled.

• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization Mode
Writing the TSM bit to one activates the timer/counter synchronization mode. In this mode, the value that is written to the
PSR0 and PSR1 bits is kept, hence keeping the corresponding prescaler reset signals asserted. This ensures that the
corresponding timer/counters are halted and can be configured to the same value without the risk of one of them advancing
during configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSR0 and PSR1 bits are cleared by hardware, and the
timer/counters start counting simultaneously.
• Bit 0 – PSR1: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter1
When this bit is one, timer/counter1 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by hardware, except if
the TSM bit is set.

12.2.1 Registers
The timer/counter (TCNT1), output compare registers (OCR1A/B), and input capture register (ICR1) are all 16-bit registers.
Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are described in the section
Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 105. The timer/counter control registers (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers
and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the
timer interrupt flag register (TIFR1). All interrupts are individually masked with the timer interrupt mask register (TIMSK1).
TIFR1 and TIMSK1 are not shown in the figure.
The timer/counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the Tn pin. The clock select
logic block controls which clock source and edge the timer/counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The
timer/counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer
clock (clkTn).
The double buffered output compare registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the timer/counter value at all time. The result
of the compare can be used by the waveform generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the output
compare pins, see Section 12.7 “Output Compare Units” on page 111. The compare match event will also set the compare
match flag (OCF1A/B) which can be used to generate an output compare interrupt request.
The input capture register can capture the timer/counter value at a given external (edge triggered) event on either the input
capture pin (ICP1) or on the analog comparator pins (see Section 18. “AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page 194). The
input capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (noise canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum timer/counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined by either the OCR1A register,
the ICR1 register, or by a set of fixed values. When using OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCR1A register can
not be used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowing the TOP
value to be changed in run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICR1 register can be used as an alternative, freeing the
OCR1A to be used as PWM output.
12.2.2 Definitions
The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:
● BOTTOM: The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.
●
●
12.3
MAX: The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65,535).
TOP: The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence. The TOP
value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCR1A
or ICR1 register. The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.
Accessing 16-bit Registers
The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR® CPU via the 8-bit data bus. The
16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for
temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit access. The same temporary register is shared between all 16-bit registers
within each 16-bit timer. Accessing the low byte triggers the 16-bit read or write operation. When the low byte of a 16-bit
register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the temporary register, and the low byte written are both copied into the
16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit
register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-bit registers does not involve
using the temporary register.
To do a 16-bit write, the high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bit read, the low byte must be read before the
high byte.

12.3.1 Code Examples
The following code examples show how to access the 16-bit timer registers assuming that no interrupts updates the
temporary register. The same principle can be used directly for accessing the OCR1A/B and ICR1 registers. Note that when
using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit access.

C Code Examples(1)

i = TCNT1;
...
Note:
1.
The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 register pair.
It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an interrupt occurs between the two
instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code updates the temporary register by accessing the same or
any other of the 16-bit timer registers, then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupted. Therefore, when
both the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary register, the main code must disable the interrupts during
the 16-bit access.

SREG = sreg;
}
Note:

The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be written to TCNT1.
12.3.2 Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written, then the high byte only
needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic operation described previously also applies in this
case.
12.4
Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is selected by the Clock
Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CS12:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter control Register B (TCCR1B).
For details on clock sources and prescaler, see Section 11. “Timer/Counter1 Prescaler” on page 101.

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: counter High (TCNT1H) containing the upper eight bits of
the counter, and counter low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight bits. The TCNT1H register can only be indirectly accessed
by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register
(TEMP). The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read, and TCNT1H is updated with
the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value
within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus. It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1
register when the counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the sections
where they are of importance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented at each timer clock (clkT1).
The clkT1 can be generated from an external or internal clock source, selected by the clock select bits (CS12:0). When no
clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU,
independent of whether clkT1 is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or count
operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the waveform generation mode bits (WGM13:0) located in the
timer/counter control registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B). There are close connections between how the counter
behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the output compare outputs OC1A/B. For more details about
advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see Section 12.9 “Modes of Operation” on page 115.
The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM13:0 bits. TOV1 can
be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

12.6
Input Capture Unit
The timer/counter incorporates an input capture unit that can capture external events and give them a time-stamp indicating
time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple events, can be applied via the ICP1 pin or
alternatively, via the analog-comparator unit. The time-stamps can then be used to calculate frequency, duty-cycle, and
other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating a log of the events.
The input capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown in Figure 12-3. The elements of the block diagram that are
not directly a part of the input capture unit are gray shaded.

Comparator
When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the input capture pin (ICP1), alternatively on the analog comparator
output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge detector, a capture will be triggered. When a capture is
triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter (TCNT1) is written to the input capture register (ICR1). The input capture flag (ICF1)
is set at the same system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1 register. If enabled (ICIE1 = 1), the input capture flag
generates an input capture interrupt. The ICF1 flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the
ICF1 flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location.
Reading the 16-bit value in the input capture register (ICR1) is done by first reading the low byte (ICR1L) and then the high
byte (ICR1H). When the low byte is read the high byte is copied into the high byte temporary register (TEMP). When the
CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will access the TEMP register.
The ICR1 register can only be written when using a waveform generation mode that utilizes the ICR1 register for defining the
counter’s TOP value. In these cases the waveform generation mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can
be written to the ICR1 register. When writing the ICR1 register the high byte must be written to the ICR1H I/O location before
the low byte is written to ICR1L.
For more information on how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 105.

ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
12.6.1 Input Capture Trigger Source
The main trigger source for the input capture unit is the input capture pin (ICP1). Only timer/counter1 can alternatively use
the analog comparator output as trigger source for the input capture unit. The analog comparator is selected as trigger
source by setting the Analog Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the analog comparator control and status register
(ACSR). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The input capture flag must therefore be cleared after
the change.
Both the input capture pin (ICP1) and the analog comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled using the same technique as
for the T1 pin (Figure 11-1 on page 101). The edge detector is also identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled,
additional logic is inserted before the edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. Note that the
input of the noise canceler and edge detector is always enabled unless the timer/counter is set in a waveform generation
mode that uses ICR1 to define TOP.
An input capture can be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP1 pin.
12.6.2 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The noise canceler input is monitored
over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the output that in turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the input capture noise canceler (ICNC1) bit in timer/counter control register B
(TCCR1B). When enabled the noise canceler introduces additional four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied
to the input, to the update of the ICR1 register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the
prescaler.
12.6.3 Using the Input Capture Unit
The main challenge when using the input capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity for handling the incoming
events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has not read the captured value in the ICR1 register before
the next event occurs, the ICR1 will be overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.
When using the input capture interrupt, the ICR1 register should be read as early in the interrupt handler routine as possible.
Even though the input capture interrupt has relatively high priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the
maximum number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.
Using the input capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is actively changed during operation,
is not recommended.
Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after each capture. Changing the
edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1 register has been read. After a change of the edge, the input
capture flag (ICF1) must be cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,
the clearing of the ICF1 flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).
12.7
Output Compare Units
The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the output compare register (OCR1A/B). If TCNT equals
OCR1A/B the comparator signals a match. A match will set the output compare flag (OCF1A/B) at the next timer clock cycle.
If enabled (OCIE1A/B = 1), the output compare flag generates an output compare interrupt. The OCF1A/B flag is
automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the OCF1A/B flag can be cleared by software by writing a
logical one to its I/O bit locations. The waveform generator uses the match signal to generate an output according to
operating mode set by the waveform generation mode (WGM13:0) bits and compare output mode (COM1A/B1:0) bits. The
TOP and BOTTOM signals are used by the waveform generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in
some modes of operation (see Section 12.9 “Modes of Operation” on page 115)

A special feature of output compare unit A allows it to define the timer/counter TOP value (i.e., counter resolution). In
addition to the counter resolution, the TOP value defines the period time for waveforms generated by the waveform
generator.

of the output compare unit are gray shaded.

The OCR1A/B register is double buffered when using any of the twelve pulse width modulation (PWM) modes. For the
normal and clear timer on compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering
synchronizes the update of the OCR1A/B compare register to either TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence. The
synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR1A/B register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the CPU has
access to the OCR1A/B buffer register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR1A/B directly. The
content of the OCR1A/B (buffer or compare) register is only changed by a write operation (the timer/counter does not update
this register automatically as the TCNT1 and ICR1 register). Therefore OCR1A/B is not read via the high byte temporary
register (TEMP). However, it is a good practice to read the low byte first as when accessing other 16-bit registers. Writing the
OCR1A/B registers must be done via the TEMP register since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte
(OCR1A/BH) has to be written first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP register will be updated
by the value written. Then when the low byte (OCR1A/BL) is written to the lower eight bits, the high byte will be copied into
the upper 8-bits of either the OCR1A/B buffer or OCR1A/B compare register in the same system clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 105.

12.7.1 Force Output Compare
In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by writing a one to the force
output compare (FOC1A/B) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the OCF1A/B flag or reload/clear the timer, but the
OC1A/Bi pins will be updated as if a real compare match had occurred (the COM1A/B1:0 bits settings define whether the
OC1A/Bi pins are set, cleared or toggled - if the respective OCnxi bit is set).
12.7.2 Compare Match Blocking by TCNT1 Write
All CPU writes to the TCNT1 register will block any compare match that occurs in the next timer clock cycle, even when the
timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1A/B to be initialized to the same value as TCNT1 without triggering an interrupt
when the timer/counter clock is enabled.
12.7.3 Using the Output Compare Unit
Since writing TCNT1 in any mode of operation will block all compare matches for one timer clock cycle, there are risks
involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the output compare channels, independent of whether the timer/counter
is running or not. If the value written to TCNT1 equals the OCR1A/B value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in
incorrect waveform generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP values. The
compare match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will continue to 0xFFFF. Similarly, do not write the TCNT1 value
equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down counting.
The setup of the OC1A/B should be performed before setting the data direction register for the port pin to output. The easiest
way of setting the OC1A/B value is to use the force output compare (FOC1A/B) strobe bits in normal mode. The OC1A/B
register keeps its value even when changing between waveform generation modes.
Be aware that the COM1A/B1:0 bits are not double buffered together with the compare value. Changing the COM1A/B1:0
bits will take effect immediately.
12.8
Compare Match Output Unit
The compare output mode (COM1A/B1:0) bits have two functions. The waveform generator uses the COM1A/B1:0 bits for
defining the output compare (OC1A/B) state at the next compare match. Secondly the COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi bits control
the OC1A/Bi pin output source. Figure 12-6 on page 115 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the
COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi bit setting. The I/O registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of
the general I/O port control registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by the COM1A/B1:0 and OCnxi bits are shown.
When referring to the OC1A/B state, the reference is for the internal OC1A/B register, not the OC1A/Bi pin. If a system reset
occur, the OC1A/B register is reset to “0”.

12.8.1 Compare Output Function
The general I/O port function is overridden by the output compare (OC1A/B) from the waveform generator if either of the
COM1A/B1:0 bits are set and if OCnxi respective bit is set in TCCR1D register. However, the OC1A/Bi pin direction (input or
output) is still controlled by the data direction register (DDR) for the port pin. The data direction register bit for the OC1A/Bi
pin (DDR_OC1A/Bi) must be set as output before the OC1A/B value is visible on the pin. The port override function is
generally independent of the waveform generation mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 12-1 on page 124,
Table 12-2 on page 124 and Table 12-3 on page 125 for details.
The design of the output compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC1A/B state before the output is enabled. Note that
some COM1A/B1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of operation, see Section 12.11 “16-bit Timer/Counter
Register Description” on page 124.
The COM1A/B1:0 bits have no effect on the input capture unit.
12.8.2 Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation
The waveform generator uses the COM1A/B1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting the
COM1A/B1:0 = 0 tells the waveform generator that no action on the OC1A/B register is to be performed on the next compare
match. For compare output actions in the non-PWM modes refer to Table 12-1 on page 124. For fast PWM mode refer to
Table 12-2 on page 124, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 12-3 on page 125.
A change of the COM1A/B1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are written. For non-PWM
modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the FOC1A/B strobe bits.
12.9
Modes of Operation
The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the timer/counter and the output compare pins, is defined by the combination of
the waveform generation mode (WGM13:0) and compare output mode (COM1A/B1:0) bits. The compare output mode bits
do not affect the counting sequence, while the waveform generation mode bits do. The COM1A/B1:0 bits control whether the
PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM1A/B1:0
bits control whether the output should be set, cleared or toggle at a compare match (see Section 12.8 “Compare Match
Output Unit” on page 113). The OCnxi bits over control the setting of the COM1A/B1:0 bits as shown in Figure 12-6 on page
115. For detailed timing information refer to Section 12.10 “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 122.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
115
12.9.1 Normal Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the normal mode (WGM13:0 = 0). In this mode the counting direction is always up
(incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value
(MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the timer/counter overflow flag (TOV1)
will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 becomes zero. The TOV1 flag in this case behaves like a 17th bit,
except that it is only set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1
flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to consider in the normal mode, a new
counter value can be written anytime.
The input capture unit is easy to use in normal mode. However, observe that the maximum interval between the external
events must not exceed the resolution of the counter. If the interval between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt
or the prescaler must be used to extend the resolution for the capture unit.
The output compare units can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the output compare to generate
waveforms in normal mode is not recommended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.
12.9.2 Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In clear timer on compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1 register are used to manipulate the
counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT1) matches either the OCR1A
(WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for the counter, hence also its
resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of
counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 12-7. The counter value (TCNT1) increases until a compare match
occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter (TCNT1) is cleared.

An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either using the OCF1A or ICF1 flag
according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used
for updating the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none
or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new
value written to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current value of TCNT1, the counter will miss the compare match. The
counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare
match can occur. In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode using
OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 = 15) since the OCR1A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its logical level on each compare
match by setting the compare output mode bits to toggle mode (COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the
port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1) and OC1Ai is set. The waveform generated will
have a maximum frequency of fOC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The waveform frequency is defined by
the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnA = -------------------------------------------------2  N   1 + OCRnA 
116
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the normal mode of operation, the TOV1 flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that the counter counts from MAX to
0x0000.
12.9.3 Fast PWM Mode
The fast pulse width modulation or fast PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) provides a high frequency PWM
waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM options by its single-slope operation. The counter
counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverting compare output mode, the output compare
(OC1A/B) is set on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1A/B, and cleared at TOP. In inverting compare output
mode output is cleared on compare match and set at TOP. Due to the single-slope operation, the operating frequency of the
fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM modes that use dualslope operation. This high frequency makes the fast PWM mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC
applications. High frequency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors), hence reduces total
system cost.
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum
resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to
MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
log  TOP + 1 
R FPWM = ---------------------------------log  2 
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed values 0x00FF,
0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 14), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 15).
The counter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in
Figure 12-8. The figure shows fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the
timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and
inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between
OCR1A/B and TCNT1. The OC1A/B interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. In addition the OC1A or ICF1 flag is set at
the same timer clock cycle as TOV1 is set when either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value. If one of the
interrupts are enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP and compare values.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between
the TCNT1 and the OCR1A/B. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1A/B registers are written.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
117
The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP value. The ICR1 register is
not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low value when the counter is running with none or a low
prescaler value, there is a risk that the new ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of TCNT1. The result will then
be that the counter will miss the compare match at the TOP value. The counter will then have to count to the MAX value
(0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur. The OCR1A register however, is double
buffered. This feature allows the OCR1A I/O location to be written anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is written the
value written will be put into the OCR1A buffer register. The OCR1A compare register will then be updated with the value in
the buffer register at the next timer clock cycle the TCNT1 matches TOP. The update is done at the same timer clock cycle
as the TCNT1 is cleared and the TOV1 flag is set.
Using the ICR1 register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A register is
free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by
changing the TOP value), using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In fast PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1A/B pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits
to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1A/B1:0 to three
(see Table 12-2 on page 124). The actual OC1A/B value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin
is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1A/B
register at the compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1A/B register at the timer
clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnxPWM = ---------------------------------N   1 + TOP 
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the fast
PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for each TOP+1 timer clock
cycle. Setting the OCR1A/B equal to TOP will result in a constant high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output
set by the COM1A/B1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) waveform output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC1A to toggle its logical
level on each compare match (COM1A1:0 = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of fOC1A =
fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). This feature is similar to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double
buffer feature of the output compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.
12.9.4 Phase Correct PWM Mode
The phase correct pulse width modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, 3, 10, or 11) provides a high
resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency
correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and
then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting compare output mode, the output compare (OC1A/B) is cleared on the
compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1A/B while up counting, and set on the compare match while down counting. In
inverting output compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation has lower maximum operation frequency
than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are
preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase correct PWM mode can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A.
The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or
OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
log  TOP + 1 
R PCPWM = ---------------------------------log  2 
118
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
In phase correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed values
0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 10), or the value in OCR1A
(WGM13:0 = 11). The counter has then reached the TOP and changes the count direction. The TCNT1 value will be equal to
TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 12-9. The figure
shows phase correct PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram
shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM
outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1A/B and TCNT1.
The OC1A/B interrupt flag will be set when a compare match occurs.

The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOTTOM. When either OCR1A or ICR1 is used
for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 flag is set accordingly at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1A/B registers
are updated with the double buffer value (at TOP). The interrupt flags can be used to generate an interrupt each time the
counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between
the TCNT1 and the OCR1A/B. Note that when using fixed TOP values, the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the
OCR1A/B registers are written. As the third period shown in Figure 12-9 illustrates, changing the TOP actively while the
timer/counter is running in the phase correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in
the time of update of the OCR1A/B register. Since the OCR1A/B update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at
TOP. This implies that the length of the falling slope is determined by the previous TOP value, while the length of the rising
slope is determined by the new TOP value. When these two values differ the two slopes of the period will differ in length. The
difference in length gives the unsymmetrical result on the output.
It is recommended to use the phase and frequency correct mode instead of the phase correct mode when changing the TOP
value while the timer/counter is running. When using a static TOP value there are practically no differences between the two
modes of operation.

In phase correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1A/B pins. Setting the
COM1A/B1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the
COM1A/B1:0 to three (See Table on page 125). The actual OC1A/B value will only be visible on the port pin if the data
direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or
clearing) the OC1A/B register at the compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and
clearing (or setting) the OC1A/B Register at compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the counter decrements.
The PWM frequency for the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnxPCPWM = ---------------------------2  N  TOP
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B register represent special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the
phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to
TOP the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite
logic values.
12.9.5 Phase and Frequency Correct PWM Mode
The phase and frequency correct pulse width modulation, or phase and frequency correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 8 or 9)
provides a high resolution phase and frequency correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase and frequency correct
PWM mode is, like the phase correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from
BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting compare output mode, the output compare
(OC1A/B) is cleared on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1A/B while up counting, and set on the compare
match while down counting. In inverting compare output mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-slope operation gives a
lower maximum operation frequency compared to the single-slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the
dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The main difference between the phase correct, and the phase and frequency correct PWM mode is the time the OCR1A/B
register is updated by the OCR1A/B buffer register, (see Figure 12-9 on page 119 and Figure 12-10 on page 121).
The PWM resolution for the phase and frequency correct PWM mode can be defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The
minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A
set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated using the following equation
log  TOP + 1 
log  2 
: R PFCPWM = ---------------------------------In phase and frequency correct PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either the value in
ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 8), or the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 9). The counter has then reached the TOP and changes the
count direction. The TCNT1 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct
and frequency correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 12-10 on page 121. The figure shows phase and frequency correct
PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is in the timing diagram shown as a histogram
for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal
line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1A/B and TCNT1. The OC1A/B interrupt flag will
be set when a compare match occurs.

The timer/counter overflow flag (TOV1) is set at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1A/B registers are updated with the
double buffer value (at BOTTOM). When either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 flag
set when TCNT1 has reached TOP. The interrupt flags can then be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter
reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal to the value of all of the
compare registers. If the TOP value is lower than any of the compare registers, a compare match will never occur between
the TCNT1 and the OCR1A/B.
As Figure 12-10 shows the output generated is, in contrast to the phase correct mode, symmetrical in all periods. Since the
OCR1A/B registers are updated at BOTTOM, the length of the rising and the falling slopes will always be equal. This gives
symmetrical output pulses and is therefore frequency correct.
Using the ICR1 register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A register is
free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed by
changing the TOP value, using the OCR1A as TOP is clearly a better choice due to its double buffer feature.
In phase and frequency correct PWM mode, the compare units allow generation of PWM waveforms on the OC1A/B pins.
Setting the COM1A/B1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by
setting the COM1A/B1:0 to three (See Table on page 125). The actual OC1A/B value will only be visible on the port pin if the
data direction for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1A/B) and OC1A/Bi is set. The PWM waveform is generated by
setting (or clearing) the OC1A/B register at the compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the counter
increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC1A/B register at compare match between OCR1A/B and TCNT1 when the
counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the output when using phase and frequency correct PWM can be calculated by
the following equation:
f clk_I/O
f OCnxPFCPWM = ---------------------------2  N  TOP
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR1A/B register represents special cases when generating a PWM waveform output in the
phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR1A/B is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continuously low and if set equal to
TOP the output will be set to high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have the opposite logic
values.

• Bit 7:6 – COM1A1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel A
• Bit 5:4 – COM1B1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel B
The COM1A1:0 and COM1B1:0 control the output compare pins (OC1Ai and OC1Bi respectively) behavior. If one or both of
the COM1A1:0 bits are written to one, the OC1Ai output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. If one or both of the COM1B1:0 bit are written to one, the OC1Bi output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O
pin it is connected to. However, note that the data direction register (DDR) bit and OC1xi bit (TCCR1D) corresponding to the
OC1Ai or OC1Bi pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OC1Ai or OC1Bi is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1A/B1:0 bits is dependent of the WGM13:0 bits
setting. Table 12-1 shows the COM1A/B1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to a Normal or a CTC mode
(non-PWM).

• Bit 3:2 – Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved for future use.
• Bit 1:0 – WGM11:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM13:2 bits found in the TCCR1B register, these bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the
source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used, see Table 12-4. Modes of
operation supported by the timer/counter unit are: normal mode (counter), Clear timer on compare match (CTC) mode, and
three types of pulse width modulation (PWM) modes (see Section 12.9 “Modes of Operation” on page 115).

TCCR1B
• Bit 7 – ICNC1: Input Capture Noise Canceler
Setting this bit (to one) activates the input capture noise canceler. When the noise canceler is activated, the input from the
input capture pin (ICP1) is filtered. The filter function requires four successive equal valued samples of the ICP1 pin for
changing its output. The input capture is therefore delayed by four oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.
• Bit 6 – ICES1: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the input capture pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture event. When the ICES1 bit is
written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and when the ICES1 bit is written to one, a rising (positive) edge
will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICES1 setting, the counter value is copied into the input capture register
(ICR1). The event will also set the input capture flag (ICF1), and this can be used to cause an Input capture interrupt, if this
interrupt is enabled.
When the ICR1 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM13:0 bits located in the TCCR1A and the TCCR1B
register), the ICP1 is disconnected and consequently the input capture function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be written to zero when
TCCR1B is written.
• Bit 4:3 – WGM13:2: Waveform Generation Mode
See TCCR1A register description.

• Bit 7 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for Channel A
• Bit 6 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare for Channel B
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are only active when the WGM13:0 bits specifies a non-PWM mode. However, for ensuring
compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to zero when TCCR1A is written when operating in a PWM mode.
When writing a logical one to the FOC1A/FOC1B bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the waveform generation
unit. The OC1nx output is changed according to its COM1A/B1:0 and OC1nx bits setting. Note that the FOC1A/FOC1B bits
are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COM1A/B1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced
compare.
A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in clear timer on compare match (CTC)
mode using OCR1A as TOP.
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are always read as zero.

The two timer/counter I/O locations (TCNT1H and TCNT1L, combined TCNT1) give direct access, both for read and for write
operations, to the timer/counter unit 16-bit counter. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are read and written
simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register
(TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers, see Section 12.3 “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on
page 105.
Modifying the counter (TCNT1) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT1
and one of the OCR1A/B registers.
Writing to the TCNT1 register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock for all compare units.

The output compare registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value (TCNT1). A match
can be used to generate an output compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC1A/B pin.
The output compare registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are written simultaneously when
the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register (TEMP). This

Refer to Figure 1.6 on page 6, and Table 9-3 on page 73 for SPI pin placement.
The interconnection between master and slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 13-2 on page 131. The system consists of
two shift registers, and a master clock generator. The SPI master initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the
slave select SS pin of the desired slave. Master and slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift registers, and
the master generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data is always shifted from master to
slave on the master Out – slave in, MOSI, line, and from slave to master on the master in – slave out, MISO, line. After each
data packet, the master will synchronize the slave by pulling high the slave select, SS, line.
130
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
When configured as a master, the SPI interface has no automatic control of the SS line. This must be handled by user
software before communication can start. When this is done, writing a byte to the SPI data register starts the SPI clock
generator, and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the slave. After shifting one byte, the SPI clock generator stops, setting
the end of transmission flag (SPIF). If the SPI interrupt enable bit (SPIE) in the SPCR register is set, an interrupt is
requested. The master may continue to shift the next byte by writing it into SPDR, or signal the end of packet by pulling high
the slave select, SS line. The last incoming byte will be kept in the buffer register for later use.
When configured as a slave, the SPI interface will remain sleeping with MISO tri-stated as long as the SS pin is driven high.
In this state, software may update the contents of the SPI data register, SPDR, but the data will not be shifted out by
incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. As one byte has been completely shifted, the end of
transmission flag, SPIF is set. If the SPI interrupt enable bit, SPIE, in the SPCR register is set, an interrupt is requested. The
slave may continue to place new data to be sent into SPDR before reading the incoming data. The last incoming byte will be
kept in the buffer register for later use.

The system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction. This means that bytes to
be transmitted cannot be written to the SPI data register before the entire shift cycle is completed. When receiving data,
however, a received character must be read from the SPI data register before the next character has been completely
shifted in. Otherwise, the first byte is lost.
In SPI slave mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal of the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of the clock
signal, the frequency of the SPI clock should never exceed fclkio/4.
When the SPI is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden according to Table 13-1. For
more details on automatic port overrides, refer to Section 9.3 “Alternate Port Functions” on page 70.

The following code examples show how to initialize the SPI as a master and how to perform a simple transmission.
DDR_SPI in the examples must be replaced by the actual data direction register controlling the SPI pins. DD_MOSI,
DD_MISO and DD_SCK must be replaced by the actual data direction bits for these pins. E.g. if MOSI is placed on pin PB2,
replace DD_MOSI with DDB2 and DDR_SPI with DDRB.

SS Pin Functionality
13.2.1 Slave Mode
When the SPI is configured as a slave, the slave select (SS) pin is always input. When SS is held low, the SPI is activated,
and MISO becomes an output if configured so by the user. All other pins are inputs. When SS is driven high, all pins are
inputs, and the SPI is passive, which means that it will not receive incoming data. Note that the SPI logic will be reset once
the SS pin is driven high.
The SS pin is useful for packet/byte synchronization to keep the slave bit counter synchronous with the master clock
generator. When the SS pin is driven high, the SPI slave will immediately reset the send and receive logic, and drop any
partially received data in the shift register.
13.2.2 Master Mode
When the SPI is configured as a master (MSTR in SPCR is set), the user can determine the direction of the SS pin.
If SS is configured as an output, the pin is a general output pin which does not affect the SPI system. Typically, the pin will be
driving the SS pin of the SPI slave.
If SS is configured as an input, it must be held high to ensure master SPI operation. If the SS pin is driven low by peripheral
circuitry when the SPI is configured as a master with the SS pin defined as an input, the SPI system interprets this as
another master selecting the SPI as a slave and starting to send data to it. To avoid bus contention, the SPI system takes the
following actions:
1. The MSTR bit in SPCR is cleared and the SPI system becomes a slave. As a result of the SPI becoming a slave,
the MOSI and SCK pins become inputs.
2.
The SPIF flag in SPSR is set, and if the SPI interrupt is enabled, and the I-bit in SREG is set, the interrupt routine
will be executed.
Thus, when interrupt-driven SPI transmission is used in master mode, and there exists a possibility that SS is driven low, the
interrupt should always check that the MSTR bit is still set. If the MSTR bit has been cleared by a slave select, it must be set
by the user to re-enable SPI master mode.

When the DORD bit is written to one, the LSB of the data word is transmitted first.
When the DORD bit is written to zero, the MSB of the data word is transmitted first.
• Bit 4 – MSTR: Master/Slave Select
This bit selects master SPI mode when written to one, and slave SPI mode when written logic zero. If SS is configured as an
input and is driven low while MSTR is set, MSTR will be cleared, and SPIF in SPSR will become set. The user will then have
to set MSTR to re-enable SPI master mode.

• Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF flag is set. An interrupt is generated if SPIE in SPCR is set and global interrupts
are enabled. If SS is an input and is driven low when the SPI is in master mode, this will also set the SPIF flag. SPIF is
cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the SPIF bit is cleared by
first reading the SPI status register with SPIF set, then accessing the SPI data register (SPDR).

• Bit 6 – WCOL: Write COLlision Flag
The WCOL bit is set if the SPI data register (SPDR) is written during a data transfer. The WCOL bit (and the SPIF bit) are
cleared by first reading the SPI status register with WCOL set, and then accessing the SPI data register.
• Bit 5..1 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 0 – SPI2X: Double SPI Speed Bit
When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when the SPI is in master mode (see Table
13-4 on page 135). This means that the minimum SCK period will be two CPU clock periods. When the SPI is configured as
slave, the SPI is only guaranteed to work at fclkio/4 or lower.
The SPI interface on the Atmel ATtiny87/167 is also used for program memory and EEPROM downloading or uploading.

The SPI data register is a read/write register used for data transfer between the register file and the SPI shift register. Writing
to the register initiates data transmission. Reading the register causes the shift register receive buffer to be read.

Data Modes
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data, which are determined by control bits
CPHA and CPOL. The SPI data transfer formats are shown in Figure 13-3 and Figure 13-4 on page 137. Data bits are
shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. This is
clearly seen by summarizing Table 13-2 and Table 13-3, as done below:

Overview
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.
A simplified block diagram of the USI is shown on Figure 14-1 for the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to Section 1.6 “Pin
Configuration” on page 6. CPU accessible I/O registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The devicespecific I/O register and bit locations are listed in the Section 14.5 “Register Descriptions” on page 144.

The 8-bit USI data 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 USI data register is a
serial shift register and the most significant bit that is the output of the serial shift register is connected to one of two output
pins depending of the wire mode configuration.
A transparent latch is inserted between the USI data 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.
138
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
The 4-bit counter can be both read and written via the data bus, and can generate an overflow interrupt. Both the USI data
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 USCK pin, timer/counter0 compare match 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.
14.3
Functional Descriptions
14.3.1 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 USCK.

Figure 14-2 shows two USI units operating in three-wire mode, one as master and one as slave. The two USI data register
are interconnected in such way that after eight USCK 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 USCK pin via the PORT register or by writing a one to
the USITC bit in USICR.

The three-wire mode timing is shown in Figure 14-3 at the top of the figure is a USCK cycle reference. One bit is shifted into
the USI data register (USIDR) for each of these cycles. The USCK 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., samples 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 14-3), 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 USI data register.
Enabling of the output is done by setting the corresponding bit in the port data direction register. Note that point A
and B does not have any specific order, but both must be at least one half USCK 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 USCK 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 complete 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.

The code is size optimized using only eight instructions (+ ret). The code example assumes that the DO and USCK pins are
enabled as output in the DDRA or 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 USCK. The loop is
repeated 16 times.

The code is size optimized using only eight instructions (+ ret). The code example assumes that the DO is configured as
output and USCK pin is configured as input in the DDR register. The value stored in register r16 prior to the function is called
is transferred to the master device, and when the transfer is completed the data received from the master is stored back into
the r16 register.
Note that the first two instructions is for initialization only and needs only to be executed once.These instructions sets threewire mode and positive edge USI data register clock. The loop is repeated until the USI counter overflow flag is set.
14.3.4 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 14-4 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 USCK pin via the PORT register.
The data direction is not given by the physical layer. A protocol, like the one used by the TWI-bus, must be implemented to
control the data flow.

Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 14-5 on page 143), 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 corresponding bit in the
PORT register to zero. Note that the USI data register bit must be set to one for the output to be enabled. The
slave device’s start detector logic (Figure 14-6.) 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 USI data register
to receive the address. This is done 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 USI data 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.

14.3.5 Start Condition Detector
The start condition detector is shown in Figure 14-6. 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.
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 Section 4.1 “Clock Systems and their Distribution” on page 25)
must also be taken into the consideration. Refer to the USISIF bit description on page 145 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.
14.4.1 Half-duplex Asynchronous Data Transfer
By utilizing the USI data register in three-wire mode, it is possible to implement a more compact and higher performance
UART than by software only.
14.4.2 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.
14.4.3 12-bit Timer/Counter
Combining the USI 4-bit counter and timer/counter0 allows them to be used as a 12-bit counter.
14.4.4 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.
14.4.5 Software Interrupt
The counter overflow interrupt can be used as a software interrupt triggered by a clock strobe.

• Bits 7:0 – USID7..0: USI Data
When accessing the USI data register (USIDR) the serial register can be 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 compare match, 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 (USCK/SCL) can still be used
by the USI data 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 to the pin must be set to one for enabling data output from the USI data
register.

• Bits 7:0 – USID7..0: USI Buffer
The content of the serial register is loaded to the USI buffer register when the transfer is completed, and instead of
accessing the USI data register (the serial register) the USI data buffer can be accessed when the CPU reads the received
data. This gives the CPU time to handle other program tasks too as the controlling of the USI is not so timing critical. The USI
flags as set same as when reading the USIDR register.

• 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 = 11b & USICLK = 0) or (USICS = 10b & 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
USCL in two-wire mode.
A start condition interrupt will wake up the processor from all 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 wake up the processor from idle sleep mode.
• 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 USI data register differs from the physical pin value. The flag is only valid when twowire 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
compare match, 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 (USCK/SCL) are can still be used by
the counter.

USICR
The control register includes interrupt enable control, wire mode setting, clock select setting, and clock strobe.
• 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 USISIF bit description on page 145
for further details.
• Bit 6 – USIOIE: Counter Overflow Interrupt Enable
Setting this bit to one enables the counter overflow interrupt. If there is a pending interrupt when the USIOIE and the global
interrupt enable flag is set to one, this will immediately be executed. Refer to the USIOIF bit description on page 145 for
further details.
• 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 USI data
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 14-1 on page 147.

Description
Outputs, clock hold, and start detector disabled. Port pins operates as normal.
Three-wire mode. Uses DO, DI, and USCK pins.
0
1
The data output (DO) pin overrides the corresponding bit in the PORT register in this mode.
However, the corresponding DDR bit still controls the data direction. When the port pin is set as
input the pins pull-up is controlled by the PORT bit.
The data input (DI) and serial clock (USCK) pins do not affect the normal port operation. When
operating as master, clock pulses are software generated by toggling the PORT register, while
the data direction 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 (USCK) pins(1).
The serial data (SDA) and the serial clock (SCL) pins are bi-directional and uses open-collector
output drives. The output drivers are enabled by setting the corresponding bit for SDA and SCL
in the DDR register.
1
0
When the output driver is enabled for the SDA pin, the output driver will force the line SDA low
if the output of the USI data register or the corresponding bit in the PORT 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 corresponding bit in the PORT 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.
1
Note:
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.
The DI and USCK pins are renamed to serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL) respectively to avoid confusion between the modes of operation.

• Bit 3:2 – USICS1:0: Clock Source Select
These bits set the clock source for the USI data 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 (USCK/SCL).
When software strobe or timer/counter0 compare match 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 USI data 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 14-2 on page 148 shows the relationship between the USICS1..0 and USICLK setting and clock source used for the
USI data register and the 4-bit counter.

• Bit 1 – USICLK: Clock Strobe
Writing a one to this bit location strobes the USI data 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 the software clock strobe option is selected. The output will change
immediately when the clock strobe is executed, i.e., in the same instruction cycle. The value shifted into the USI data 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 14-2).
• Bit 0 – USITC: Toggle Clock Port Pin
Writing a one to this bit location toggles the USCK/SCL value either from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0. The toggling is independent
of the setting in the data direction register, but if the PORT value is to be shown on the pin the DDB2 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.

LIN/UART - Local Interconnect Network Controller or UART
The LIN (local interconnect network) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently supports the control of
mechatronics nodes in distributed automotive applications. The main properties of the LIN bus are:
● Single master with multiple slaves concept
●
●
●
●
●
Low cost silicon implementation based on common UART/SCI interface
Self synchronization with on-chip oscillator in slave node
Deterministic signal transmission with signal propagation time computable in advance
Low cost single-wire implementation
Speed up to 20Kbit/s.
LIN provides a cost efficient bus communication where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN are not required. The
specification of the line driver/receiver needs to match the ISO9141 NRZ-standard.
If LIN is not required, the controller alternatively can be programmed as universal asynchronous serial receiver and
transmitter (UART).

LIN Protocol
15.3.1 Master and Slave
A LIN cluster consists of one master task and several slave tasks. A master node contains the master task as well as a slave
task. All other nodes contain a slave task only.

LIN bus
The master task decides when and which frame shall be transferred on the bus. The slave tasks provide the data
transported by each frame. Both the master task and the slave task are parts of the frame handler
15.3.2 Frames
A frame consists of a header (provided by the master task) and a response (provided by a slave task).
The header consists of a BREAK and SYNC pattern followed by a PROTECTED IDENTIFIER. The identifier uniquely
defines the purpose of the frame. The slave task appointed for providing the response associated with the identifier transmits
it. The response consists of a DATA field and a CHECKSUM field.

15.3.3 Data Transport
Two types of data may be transported in a frame; signals or diagnostic messages.
● Signals
Signals are scalar values or byte arrays that are packed into the data field of a frame. A signal is always present at the
same position in the data field for all frames with the same identifier.
●
150
Diagnostic messages
Diagnostic messages are transported in frames with two reserved identifiers. The interpretation of the data field
depends on the data field itself as well as the state of the communicating nodes.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
15.3.4 Schedule Table
The master task (in the master node) transmits frame headers based on a schedule table. The schedule table specifies the
identifiers for each header and the interval between the start of a frame and the start of the following frame. The master
application may use different schedule tables and select among them.
15.3.5 Compatibility with LIN 1.3
LIN 2.1 is a super-set of LIN 1.3.
A LIN 2.1 master node can handle clusters consisting of both LIN 1.3 slaves and/or LIN 2.1 slaves. The master will then
avoid requesting the new LIN 2.1 features from a LIN 1.3 slave:
● Enhanced checksum,
●
●
●
Re-configuration and diagnostics,
Automatic baud rate detection,
“Response error” status monitoring.
LIN 2.1 slave nodes can not operate with a LIN 1.3 master node (e.g. the LIN1.3 master does not support the enhanced
checksum).
The LIN 2.1 physical layer is backwards compatible with the LIN1.3 physical layer. But not the other way around. The LIN 2.1
physical layer sets greater requirements, i.e. a master node using the LIN 2.1 physical layer can operate in a LIN 1.3 cluster.
15.4
LIN/UART Controller
The LIN/UART controller is divided in three main functions:
● Tx LIN header function,
●
●
Rx LIN header function,
LIN response function.
These functions mainly use two services:
● Rx service,
●
Tx service.
Because these two services are basically UART services, the controller is also able to switch into an UART function.
15.4.1 LIN Overview
The LIN/UART controller is designed to match as closely as possible to the LIN software application structure. The LIN
software application is developed as independent tasks, several slave tasks and one master task (c.f. Section 15.3.4
“Schedule Table” on page 151). The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 conforms to this perspective. The only link between the master
task and the slave task will be at the cross-over point where the interrupt routine is called once a new identifier is available.
Thus, in a master node, housing both master and slave task, the Tx LIN header function will alert the slave task of an
identifier presence. In the same way, in a slave node, the Rx LIN header function will alert the slave task of an identifier
presence.
When the slave task is warned of an identifier presence, it has first to analyze it to know what to do with the response.
Hardware flags identify the presence of one of the specific identifiers from 60 (0x3C) up to 63 (0x3F).
For LIN communication, only four interrupts need to be managed:
● LIDOK: New LIN identifier available,
●
●
●
LRXOK: LIN response received,
LTXOK: LIN response transmitted,
LERR: LIN error(s).
The wake-up management can be automated using the UART wake-up capability and a node sending a minimum of 5 low
bits (0xF0) for LIN 2.1 and 8 low bits (0x80) for LIN 1.3. Pin change interrupt on LIN wake-up signal can be also used to exit
the device of one of its sleep modes.
Extended frame identifiers 62 (0x3E) and 63 (0x3F) are reserved to allow the embedding of user-defined message formats
and future LIN formats. The byte transfer mode offered by the UART will ensure the upwards compatibility of LIN slaves with
accommodation of the LIN protocol.

7728H–AVR–03/14

15.4.2 UART Overview
The LIN/UART controller can also function as a conventional UART. By default, the UART operates as a full duplex
controller. It has local loop back circuitry for test purposes. The UART has the ability to buffer one character for transmit and
two for receive. The receive buffer is made of one 8-bit serial register followed by one 8-bit independent buffer register.
Automatic flag management is implemented when the application puts or gets characters, thus reducing the software
overhead. Because transmit and receive services are independent, the user can save one device pin when one of the two
services is not used. The UART has an enhanced baud rate generator providing a maximum error of 2% whatever the clock
frequency and the targeted baud rate.

15.4.5 Enable/Disable
Setting the LENA bit in LINCR register enables the LIN/UART controller. To disable the LIN/UART controller, LENA bit must
be written to 0. No wait states are implemented, so, the disable command is taken into account immediately.
15.4.6 LIN Commands
Clearing the LCMD[2] bit in LINCR register enables LIN commands.
As shown in Table 15-1 on page 153, four functions controlled by the LCMD[1..0] bits of LINCR register are available (c.f.
Figure 15-5 on page 153).
15.4.6.1 Rx Header / LIN Abort Function
This function (or state) is mainly the withdrawal mode of the controller.
When the controller has to execute a master task, this state is the start point before enabling a Tx header command.
When the controller has only to execute slave tasks, LIN header detection/acquisition is enabled as background function. At
the end of such an acquisition (Rx header function), automatically the appropriate flags are set, and in LIN 1.3, the LINDLR
register is set with the uncoded length value.
This state is also the start point before enabling the Tx or the Rx response command.
A running function (i.e. Tx header, Tx or Rx response ) can be aborted by clearing LCMD[1..0] bits in LINCR register (see
Section 15.5.11 “Break-in-data” on page 163). In this case, an abort flag - LABORT - in LINERR register will be set to inform
the other software tasks. No wait states are implemented, so, the abort command is taken into account immediately.
Rx Header function is responsible for:
● The BREAK field detection,
●
●
The hardware re-synchronization analyzing the SYNCH field,
●
●
The starting of the frame_time_out,
The reception of the PROTECTED IDENTIFIER field, the parity control and the update of the LINDLR register in case
of LIN 1.3,
The checking of the LIN communication integrity.
15.4.6.2 Tx Header Function
In accordance with the LIN protocol, only the master task must enable this function. The header is sent in the appropriate
timed slots at the programmed baud rate (c.f. LINBRR & LINBTR registers).
The controller is responsible for:
● The transmission of the BREAK field - 13 dominant bits,
●
●
The transmission of the SYNCH field - character 0x55,
The transmission of the PROTECTED IDENTIFIER field. It is the full content of the LINIDR register (automatic check
bits included).
At the end of this transmission, the controller automatically returns to Rx header / LIN abort state (i.e. LCMD[1..0] = 00) after
setting the appropriate flags. This function leaves the controller in the same setting as after the Rx header function. This
means that, in LIN 1.3, the LINDLR register is set with the uncoded length value at the end of the Tx header function.
During this function, the controller is also responsible for:
● The starting of the Frame_Time_Out,
●
154
The checking of the LIN communication integrity.

15.4.6.3 Rx and TX Response Functions
These functions are initiated by the slave task of a LIN node. They must be used after sending an header (master task) or
after receiving an header (considered as belonging to the slave task). When the TX response order is sent, the transmission
begins. A Rx response order can be sent up to the reception of the last serial bit of the first byte (before the stop-bit).
In LIN 1.3, the header slot configures the LINDLR register. In LIN 2.1, the user must configure the LINDLR register, either
LRXDL[3..0] for Rx response either LTXDL[3..0] for Tx response.
When the command starts, the controller checks the LIN13 bit of the LINCR register to apply the right rule for computing the
checksum. Checksum calculation over the DATA bytes and the PROTECTED IDENTIFIER byte is called enhanced
checksum and it is used for communication with LIN 2.1 slaves. Checksum calculation over the DATA bytes only is called
classic checksum and it is used for communication with LIN 1.3 slaves. Note that identifiers 60 (0x3C) to 63 (0x3F) shall
always use classic checksum.
At the end of this reception or transmission, the controller automatically returns to Rx header / LIN abort state (i.e.
LCMD[1..0] = 00) after setting the appropriate flags.
If an LIN error occurs, the reception or the transmission is stopped, the appropriate flags are set and the LIN bus is left to
recessive state.
During these functions, the controller is responsible for:
● The initialization of the checksum operator,
●
●
●
●
The transmission or the reception of ‘n’ data with the update of the checksum calculation,
The transmission or the checking of the CHECKSUM field,
The checking of the frame_time_out,
The checking of the LIN communication integrity.
While the controller is sending or receiving a response, BREAK and SYNCH fields can be detected and the identifier of this
new header will be recorded. Of course, specific errors on the previous response will be maintained with this identifier
reception.
15.4.6.4 Handling Data of LIN response
A FIFO data buffer is used for data of the LIN response. After setting all parameters in the LINSEL register, repeated
accesses to the LINDAT register perform data read or data write (c.f. Section 15.5.15 “Data Management” on page 164).
Note that LRXDL[3..0] and LTXDL[3..0] are not linked to the data access.
15.4.7 UART Commands
Setting the LCMD[2] bit in LINENR register enables UART commands.
Tx byte and Rx byte services are independent as shown in Table 15-1 on page 153.
● Byte transfer: the UART is selected but both Rx and Tx services are disabled,
●
●
●
Rx byte: only the Rx service is enable but Tx service is disabled,
Tx byte: only the Tx service is enable but Rx service is disabled,
Full duplex: the UART is selected and both Rx and Tx services are enabled.
This combination of services is controlled by the LCMD[1..0] bits of LINENR register (c.f. Figure 15-5 on page 153).
15.4.7.1 Data Handling
The FIFO used for LIN communication is disabled during UART accesses. LRXDL[3..0] and LTXDL[3..0] values of LINDLR
register are then irrelevant. LINDAT register is then used as data register and LINSEL register is not relevant.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
155
15.4.7.2 Rx Service
Once this service is enabled, the user is warned of an in-coming character by the LRXOK flag of LINSIR register. Reading
LINDAT register automatically clears the flag and makes free the second stage of the buffer. If the user considers that the incoming character is irrelevant without reading it, he directly can clear the flag (see specific flag management described in
Section 15.6.2 “LIN Status and Interrupt Register - LINSIR” on page 167).
The intrinsic structure of the Rx service offers a 2-byte buffer. The fist one is used for serial to parallel conversion, the
second one receives the result of the conversion. This second buffer byte is reached reading LINDAT register. If the 2-byte
buffer is full, a new in-coming character will overwrite the second one already recorded. An OVRERR error in
LINERR register will then accompany this character when read.
A FERR error in LINERR register will be set in case of framing error.
15.4.7.3 Tx Service
If this service is enabled, the user sends a character by writing in LINDAT register. Automatically the LTXOK flag of
LINSIR register is cleared. It will rise at the end of the serial transmission. If no new character has to be sent, LTXOK flag
can be cleared separately (see specific flag management described in Section 15.6.2 “LIN Status and Interrupt Register LINSIR” on page 167).
There is no transmit buffering.
No error is detected by this service.
15.5
LIN/UART Description
15.5.1 Reset
The AVR® core reset logic signal also resets the LIN/UART controller. Another form of reset exists, a software reset
controlled by LSWRES bit in LINCR register. This self-reset bit performs a partial reset as shown in Table 15-2.

15.5.2 Clock
The I/O clock signal (clki/o) also clocks the LIN/UART controller. It is its unique clock.
15.5.3 LIN Protocol Selection
LIN13 bit in LINCR register is used to select the LIN protocol:
● LIN13 = 0 (default): LIN 2.1 protocol,
●
LIN13 = 1: LIN 1.3 protocol.
The controller checks the LIN13 bit in computing the checksum (enhanced checksum in LIN2.1 / classic checksum in LIN
1.3). This bit is irrelevant for UART commands.

ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
15.5.4 Configuration
Depending on the mode (LIN or UART), LCONF[1..0] bits of the LINCR register set the controller in the following
configuration (see Table 15-3).
Table 15-3. Configuration Table versus Mode

When the busy signal is set, some registers are locked, user writing is not allowed:
● “LIN control register” - LINCR - except LCMD[2..0], LENA and LSWRES,
●
●
●
●
“LIN baud rate registers” - LINBRRL and LINBRRH,
“LIN data length register” - LINDLR,
“LIN identifier register” - LINIDR,
“LIN data register” - LINDAT.
If the busy signal is set, the only available commands are:
● LCMD[1..0] = 00 b, the abort command is taken into account at the end of the byte,
●
●
LENA = 0 and/or LCMD[2] = 0, the kill command is taken into account immediately,
LSWRES = 1, the reset command is taken into account immediately.
Note that, if another command is entered during busy signal, the new command is not validated and the LOVRERR bit flag of
the LINERR register is set. The on-going transfer is not interrupted.
15.5.5.2 Busy Signal in UART Mode
During the byte transmission, the busy signal is set. This locks some registers from being written:
● “LIN control register” - LINCR - except LCMD[2..0], LENA and LSWRES,
●
“LIN data register” - LINDAT.
The busy signal is not generated during a byte reception.
15.5.6 Bit Timing
15.5.6.1 Baud rate Generator
The baud rate is defined to be the transfer rate in bits per second (bps):
● BAUD: Baud rate (in bps),
●
●
●
fclki/o: System I/O clock frequency,
LDIV[11..0]: Contents of LINBRRH & LINBRRL registers - (0-4095), the pre-scaler receives clki/o as input clock.
LBT[5..0]: Least significant bits of - LINBTR register- (0-63) is the number of samplings in a LIN or UART bit (default
value 32).
Equation for calculating baud rate:
BAUD = fclki/o / LBT[5..0] x (LDIV[11..0] + 1)
Equation for setting LINDIV value:
LDIV[11..0] = ( fclki/o / LBT[5..0] x BAUD ) - 1
Note that in reception a majority vote on three samplings is made.
15.5.6.2 Re-synchronization in LIN Mode
When waiting for Rx header, LBT[5..0] = 32 in LINBTR register. The re-synchronization begins when the BREAK is detected.
If the BREAK size is not in the range (10.5 bits min., 28 bits max. — 13 bits nominal), the BREAK is refused. The resynchronization is done by adjusting LBT[5..0] value to the SYNCH field of the received header (0x55). Then the
PROTECTED IDENTIFIER is sampled using the new value of LBT[5..0].
The re-synchronization implemented in the controller tolerates a clock deviation of ±20% and adjusts the baud rate in a ±2%
range.
The new LBT[5..0] value will be used up to the end of the response. Then, the LBT[5..0] will be reset to 32 for the next
header.
The LINBTR register can be used to (software) re-calibrate the clock oscillator.
The re-synchronization is not performed if the LIN node is enabled as a master.
158
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
15.5.6.3 Handling LBT[5..0]
LDISR bit of LINBTR register is used to:
● Disable the re-synchronization (for instance in the case of LIN MASTER node),
●
To enable the setting of LBT[5..0] (to manually adjust the baud rate especially in the case of UART mode). A minimum
of 8 is required for LBT[5..0] due to the sampling operation.
Note that the LENA bit of LINCR register is important for this handling (see Figure 15-8).

15.5.7 Data Length
Section 15.4.6 “LIN Commands” on page 154 describes how to set or how are automatically set the LRXDL[3..0] or
LTXDL[3..0] fields of LINDLR register before receiving or transmitting a response.
In the case of Tx response the LRXDL[3..0] will be used by the hardware to count the number of bytes already successfully
sent.
In the case of Rx response the LTXDL[3..0] will be used by the hardware to count the number of bytes already successfully
received.
If an error occurs, this information is useful to the programmer to recover the LIN messages.
15.5.7.1 Data Length in LIN 2.1
●
●
●
If LTXDL[3..0]=0 only the CHECKSUM will be sent,
If LRXDL[3..0]=0 the first byte received will be interpreted as the CHECKSUM,
If LTXDL[3..0] or LRXDL[3..0] >8, values will be forced to 8 after the command setting and before sending or receiving
of the first byte.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
159
15.5.7.2 Data Length in LIN 1.3
●
LRXDL and LTXDL fields are both hardware updated before setting LIDOK by decoding the data length code
contained in the received PROTECTED IDENTIFIER (LRXDL = LTXDL).
●
Via the above mechanism, a length of 0 or >8 is not possible.

●
●
The UART mode forces LRXDL and LTXDL to 0 and disables the writing in LINDLR register,
Note that after reset, LRXDL and LTXDL are also forced to 0.
15.5.8 xxOK Flags
There are three xxOK flags in LINSIR register:
● LIDOK: LIN identifier OK
It is set at the end of the header, either by the Tx header function or by the Rx header. In LIN 1.3, before generating
LIDOK, the controller updates the LRXDL & LTXDL fields in LINDLR register.
It is not driven in UART mode.
●
LRXOK: LIN RX response complete
It is set at the end of the response by the Rx response function in LIN mode and once a character is received in UART
mode.
●
LTXOK: LIN TX response complete
It is set at the end of the response by the Tx response function in LIN mode and once a character has been sent in
UART mode.
These flags can generate interrupts if the corresponding enable interrupt bit is set in the LINENIR register (see Section
15.5.13 “Interrupts” on page 163).
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
161
15.5.9 xxERR Flags
LERR bit of the LINSIR register is an logical ‘OR’ of all the bits of LINERR register (see Section 15.5.13 “Interrupts” on page
163). There are eight flags:
● LBERR = LIN Bit ERRor.
A unit that is sending a bit on the bus also monitors the bus. A LIN bit error will be flagged when the bit value that is
monitored is different from the bit value that is sent. After detection of a LIN bit error the transmission is aborted.
●
LCERR = LIN Checksum ERRor.
A LIN checksum error will be flagged if the inverted modulo-256 sum of all received data bytes (and the protected
identifier in LIN 2.1) added to the checksum does not result in 0xFF.
●
LPERR = LIN Parity ERRor (identifier).
A LIN parity error in the IDENTIFIER field will be flagged if the value of the parity bits does not match with the identifier
value. (See LP[1:0] bits in Section 15.6.8 “LIN Identifier Register - LINIDR” on page 170). A LIN slave application does
not distinguish between corrupted parity bits and a corrupted identifier. The hardware does not undertake any
correction. However, the LIN slave application has to solve this as:
●
known identifier (parity bits corrupted),
●
or corrupted identifier to be ignored,
●
or new identifier.
●
LSERR = LIN Synchronization ERRor.
A LIN synchronization error will be flagged if a slave detects the edges of the SYNCH field outside the given
tolerance.
●
LFERR = LIN framing ERRor.
A framing error will be flagged if dominant STOP bit is sampled.
Same function in UART mode.
●
LTOERR = LIN time out ERRor.
A time-out error will be flagged if the MESSAGE frame is not fully completed within the maximum length TFrame_Maximum
by any slave task upon transmission of the SYNCH and IDENTIFIER fields (see Section 15.5.10 “Frame Time Out” on
page 162).
●
LOVERR = LIN OVerrun ERRor.
Overrun error will be flagged if a new command (other than LIN Abort) is entered while ‘busy signal’ is present.
In UART mode, an overrun error will be flagged if a received byte overwrites the byte stored in the serial input buffer.
●
LABORT
LIN abort transfer reflects a previous LIN Abort command (LCMD[2..0] = 000) while ‘busy signal’ is present.
After each LIN error, the LIN controller stops its previous activity and returns to its withdrawal mode (LCMD[2..0] = 000 b) as
illustrated in Figure 15-11 on page 161.
Writing 1 in LERR of LINSIR register resets LERR bit and all the bits of the LINERR register.
15.5.10 Frame Time Out
According to the LIN protocol, a frame time-out error is flagged if: T Frame > T Frame_Maximum.
This feature is implemented in the LIN/UART controller.

7728H–AVR–03/14
15.5.11 Break-in-data
According to the LIN protocol, the LIN/UART controller can detect the BREAK/SYNC field sequence even if the break is
partially superimposed with a byte of the response. When a BREAK/SYNC field sequence happens, the transfer in progress
is aborted and the processing of the new frame starts.
● On slave node(s), an error is generated (i.e. LBERR in case of Tx response or LFERR in case of Rx response).
Information on data error is also available, refer to the Section 15.5.7.5 “Data Length after Error” on page 161.
●
On master node, the user (code) is responsible for this aborting of frame. To do this, the master task has first to abort
the on-going communication (clearing LCMD bits - LIN abort command) and then to apply the Tx header command. In
this case, the abort error flag - LABORT - is set.
On the slave node, the BREAK detection is processed with the synchronization setting available when the LIN/UART
controller processed the (aborted) response. But the re-synchronization restarts as usual. Due to a possible difference of
timing reference between the BREAK field and the rest of the frame, the time-out values can be slightly inaccurate.
15.5.12 Checksum
The last field of a frame is the checksum.
In LIN 2.1, the checksum contains the inverted eight bit sum with carry over all data bytes and the protected identifier. This
calculation is called enhanced checksum

15.5.13 Interrupts
As shown in Figure 15-13 on page 163, the four communication flags of the LINSIR register are combined to drive two
interrupts. Each of these flags have their respective enable interrupt bit in LINENIR register.
(see Section 15.5.8 “xxOK Flags” on page 161 and Section 15.5.9 “xxERR Flags” on page 162).

15.5.14 Message Filtering
Message filtering based upon the whole identifier is not implemented. Only a status for frame headers having 0x3C, 0x3D,
0x3E and 0x3F as identifier is available in the LINSIR register.
Table 15-4. Frame Status

101 b
61 (0x3D) identifier

63 (0x3F) identifier
The LIN protocol says that a message with an identifier from 60 (0x3C) up to 63 (0x3F) uses a classic checksum (sum over
the data bytes only). Software will be responsible for switching correctly the LIN13 bit to provide/check this expected
checksum (the insertion of the ID field in the computation of the CRC is set - or not - just after entering the Rx or Tx response
command).
15.5.15 Data Management
15.5.15.1 LIN FIFO Data Buffer
To preserve register allocation, the LIN data buffer is seen as a FIFO (with address pointer accessible). This FIFO is
accessed via the LINDX[2..0] field of LINSEL register through the LINDAT register.
LINDX[2..0], the data index, is the address pointer to the required data byte. The data byte can be read or written. The data
index is automatically incremented after each LINDAT access if the LAINC (active low) bit is cleared. A roll-over is
implemented, after data index=7 it is data index=0. Otherwise, if LAINC bit is set, the data index needs to be written
(updated) before each LINDAT access.
The first byte of a LIN frame is stored at the data index=0, the second one at the data index=1, and so on. Nevertheless,
LINSEL must be initialized by the user before use.

The LINDAT register is the data register (no buffering - no FIFO). In write access, LINDAT will be for data out and in read
access, LINDAT will be for data in.
In UART mode the LINSEL register is unused.
15.5.16 OCD Support
When a debugger break occurs, the state machine of the LIN/UART controller is stopped (included frame time-out) and
further communication may be corrupted.

ISRC - Current Source
16.1
Features
●
●
100µA Constant current source
±10% Absolute Accuracy
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 features a 100µA ±10% Current Source. Up on request, the current is flowing through an external
resistor. The voltage can be measured on the dedicated pin shared with the ADC. Using a resistor in series with a ≤ 0.5%
tolerance is recommended. To protect the device against big values, the ADC must be configured with AVcc as internal
reference to perform the first measurement. Afterwards, another internal reference can be chosen according to the previous
measured value to refine the result.
When ISRCEN bit is set, the ISRC pin sources 100µA. Otherwise this pin keeps its initial function.

Typical applications
16.2.1 LIN Current Source
During the configuration of a LIN node in a cluster, it may be necessary to attribute dynamically an unique physical address
to every cluster node. The way to do it is not described in the LIN protocol.
The current source offers an excellent solution to associate a physical address to the application supported by the LIN node.
A full dynamic node configuration can be used to set-up the LIN nodes in a cluster.
Atmel ATtiny87/167 proposes to have an external resistor used in conjunction with the current source. The device measures
the voltage to the boundaries of the resistance via the analog to digital converter. The resulting voltage defines the physical
address that the communication handler will use when the node will participate in LIN communication.

In automotive applications, distributed voltages are very disturbed. The internal current source solution of Atmel
ATtiny87/167 immunizes the address detection the against any kind of voltage variations.

16.2.2 Current Source for Low Cost Transducer
An external transducer based on a variable resistor can be connected to the current source.
This can be, for instance:
● A thermistor, or temperature-sensitive resistor, used as a temperature sensor,
●
●
A CdS photoconductive cell, or luminosity-sensitive resistor, used as a luminosity sensor,
...
Using the current source with this type of transducer eliminates the need for additional parts otherwise required in resistor
network or wheatstone bridge.
16.2.3 Voltage Reference for External Devices
An external resistor used in conjunction with the current source can be used as voltage reference for external devices. Using
a resistor in serie with a lower tolerance than the current source accuracy (≤ 2%) is recommended. Table 16-2 on page 174
gives an example of voltage references using standard values of resistors.
16.2.4 Threshold Reference for Internal Analog Comparator
An external resistor used in conjunction with the current source can be used as threshold reference for internal analog
Comparator (see Section 18. “AnaComp - Analog Comparator” on page 194). This can be connected to AIN0 (negative
analog compare input pin) as well as AIN1 (positive analog compare input pin). Using a resistor in serie with a lower
tolerance than the current source accuracy (≤ 2%) is recommended. Table 16-2 on page 174 gives an example of threshold
references using standard values of resistors.

Overview
The Atmel® ATtiny87/167 features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to a 11-channel analog
multiplexer which allows 16 differential voltage input combinations and 11 single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the
pins PA7..PA0 or PB7..PB4. The differential input is equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing amplification steps
of 8x or 20x on the differential input voltage before the A/D conversion. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (AGND).
The ADC contains a sample and hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is held at a constant level
during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown in Figure 17-1 on page 177.
Internal reference voltages of nominally 1.1V or 2.56V are provided On-chip. Alternatively, AVcc can be used as reference
voltage for single ended channels. There are also options to output the internal 1.1V or 2.56V reference voltages or to input
an external voltage reference and turn-off the internal voltage reference. These options are selected using the REFS[1:0]
bits of the ADMUX control register and using AREFEN and XREFEN bits of the AMISCR control register.

Operation
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approximation. The minimum value
represents AGND and the maximum value represents the voltage on AVcc, the voltage reference on AREF pin or an internal
1.1V/2.56V voltage reference.
The voltage reference for the ADC may be selected by writing to the REFS[1..0] bits in ADMUX and AREFEN bit in AMISCR.
The AVcc supply, the AREF pin or an internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference may be selected as the ADC voltage reference.
The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register. Any of the 11
ADC input pins ADC[10..0] can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. The positive and negative inputs to the
differential gain amplifier are described in Table 17-5 on page 189.
If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the voltage difference between the selected input
pair by the selected gain factor 8x or 20x, according to the setting of the MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register. This amplified
value then becomes the analog input to the ADC. If single ended channels are used, the gain amplifier is bypassed
altogether.
The on-chip temperature sensor is selected by writing the code defined in Table 17-5 on page 189 to the MUX[4..0] bits in
ADMUX register when its dedicated ADC channel is used as an ADC input.
A specific ADC channel (defined in Table 17-5 on page 189) is used to measure the voltage to the boundaries of an external
resistance flowing by a current driving by the Internal current source (ISRC).
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA register. 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.
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 register.
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.
17.4
Starting a Conversion
A single 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 cleared by hardware when the conversion is completed. If a different data channel
is selected while a conversion is in progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion before performing the channel
change.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered automatically by various sources. Auto triggering is enabled by setting the ADC
auto trigger Enable bit, ADATE in ADCSRA register. The trigger source is selected by setting the ADC trigger select bits,
ADTS in ADCSRB register (see description of the ADTS bits for a list of the trigger sources). When a positive edge occurs on
the selected trigger signal, the ADC prescaler is reset and a conversion is started. This provides a method of starting
conversions at fixed intervals. If the trigger signal still is set when the conversion completes, a new conversion will not be
started. If another positive edge occurs on the trigger signal during conversion, the edge will be ignored. Note that an
interrupt flag will be set even if the specific interrupt is disabled or the global interrupt enable bit in SREG register is cleared.
A conversion can thus be triggered without causing an interrupt. However, the interrupt flag must be cleared in order to
trigger a new conversion at the next interrupt event.

Using the ADC interrupt flag as a trigger source makes the ADC start a new conversion as soon as the ongoing conversion
has finished. The ADC then operates in free running mode, constantly sampling and updating the ADC data register. The
first conversion must be started by writing a logical one to the ADSC bit in ADCSRA register. In this mode the ADC will
perform successive conversions independently of whether the ADC interrupt flag, ADIF is cleared or not.
If Auto triggering is enabled, single conversions can be started by writing ADSC in ADCSRA register to one. ADSC can also
be used to determine if a conversion is in progress. The ADSC bit will be read as one during a conversion, independently of
how the conversion was started.

By default, the successive approximation circuitry requires an input clock frequency between 50kHz and 200kHz to get
maximum resolution. If a lower resolution than 10 bits is needed, the input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than
200kHz to get a higher sample rate.
The ADC module contains a prescaler, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency from any CPU frequency above
100kHz. The prescaling is set by the ADPS bits in ADCSRA register. The prescaler starts counting from the moment the
ADC is switched on by setting the ADEN bit in ADCSRA register. The prescaler keeps running for as long as the ADEN bit is
set, and is continuously reset when ADEN is low.
When initiating a single ended conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSRA register, the conversion starts at the following
rising edge of the ADC clock cycle.
A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is switched on (ADEN in ADCSRA
register is set) takes 25 ADC clock cycles in order to initialize the analog circuitry.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
179
The actual sample-and-hold takes place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of a normal conversion and 14.5 ADC clock
cycles after the start of an first 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.
When auto triggering is used, the prescaler is reset when the trigger event occurs. This assures a fixed delay from the trigger
event to the start of conversion. In this mode, the sample-and-hold takes place 2 ADC clock cycles after the rising edge on
the trigger source signal. Three additional CPU clock cycles are used for synchronization logic.
In free running mode, a new conversion will be started immediately after the conversion completes, while ADSC remains
high. For a summary of conversion times, see Table 17-1 on page 181.

17.6
Changing Channel or Reference Selection
The MUX[4:0] and REFS[1:0] 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 selection only takes place at a safe point during the
conversion. The channel and reference 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 ADCSRA register 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.
If auto triggering is used, the exact time of the triggering event can be indeterministic. Special care must be taken when
updating the ADMUX register, in order to control which conversion will be affected by the new settings.
If both ADATE and ADEN is written to one, an interrupt event can occur at any time. If the ADMUX register is changed in this
period, the user cannot tell if the next conversion is based on the old or the new settings. ADMUX can be safely updated in
the following ways:
a. When ADATE or ADEN is cleared.
b.
During conversion, minimum one ADC clock cycle after the trigger event.
c.
After a conversion, before the interrupt flag used as trigger source is cleared.
When updating ADMUX in one of these conditions, the new settings will affect the next ADC conversion.
17.6.1 ADC Input Channels
When changing channel selections, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure that the correct channel is
selected:
In single conversion mode, always select the channel before starting the conversion. The channel selection may be changed
one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest method is to wait for the conversion to complete
before changing the channel selection.
In Free Running mode, always select the channel before starting the first conversion. The channel selection may be
changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the simplest method is to wait for the first conversion to
complete, and then change the channel selection. Since the next conversion has already started automatically, the next
result will reflect the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new channel selection.
17.6.2 ADC Voltage Reference
The voltage reference for the ADC (VREF) indicates the conversion range for the ADC. Single ended channels that exceed
VREF will result in codes close to 0x3FF. VREF can be selected as either AVcc, internal 1.1V/2.56V voltage reference or
external AREF pin. The first ADC conversion result after switching voltage reference source may be inaccurate, and the user
is advised to discard this result.
17.7
ADC Noise Canceler
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during sleep mode to reduce noise induced from the CPU core
and other I/O peripherals. The noise canceler can be used with ADC noise reduction and idle mode. To make use of this
feature, the following procedure should be used:
a. 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.
b.
Enter ADC noise reduction mode (or idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion once the CPU has been halted.
c.
If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC interrupt will wake up the CPU and
execute the ADC conversion complete interrupt routine. If another interrupt wakes up the CPU before the ADC
conversion is complete, that interrupt will be executed, and an ADC conversion complete interrupt request will be
generated when the ADC conversion completes. The CPU will remain in active mode until a new sleep command
is executed.
Note that the ADC will not be automatically turned off when entering other sleep modes than Idle mode and ADC noise
reduction mode. The user is advised to write zero to ADEN before entering such sleep modes to avoid excessive power
consumption.

7728H–AVR–03/14
17.7.1 Analog Input Circuitry
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated in Figure 17-8. An analog source applied to ADCn is
subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin, regardless of whether that channel is selected as input for the
ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series resistance (combined
resistance in the input path).
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10k or less. If such a source is used,
the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher impedance is used, the sampling time will depend on how long
time the source needs to charge the S/H capacitor, with can vary widely. The user is recommended to only use low impedant
sources with slowly varying signals, since this minimizes the required charge transfer to the S/H capacitor.
Signal components higher than the nyquist frequency (fADC/2) should not be present to avoid distortion from unpredictable
signal convolution. The user is advised to remove high frequency components with a low-pass filter before applying the
signals as inputs to the ADC.

17.7.2 Analog Noise Canceling Techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of analog measurements. If
conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by applying the following techniques:
a. 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.
b.
Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.
c.
If any port pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not switch while a conversion is in progress.
17.7.3 ADC Accuracy Definitions
An n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps (LSBs). The lowest code is read
as 0, and the highest code is read as 2n-1.
Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior:
● Offset: The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal transition (at 0.5 LSB). Ideal value:
0 LSB.

17.8
ADC Conversion Result
After the conversion is complete (ADIF is high), the conversion result can be found in the ADC result registers (ADCL,
ADCH). The form of the conversion result depends on the type of the conversion as there are three types of conversions:
single ended conversion, unipolar differential conversion and bipolar differential conversion.
17.8.1 Single Ended Conversion
For single ended conversion, the result is:
V IN  1024
ADC = --------------------------V REF
where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see Table 17-4 on page 188 and
Table 17-5 on page 189). 0x000 represents analog ground, and 0x3FF represents the selected voltage reference minus one
LSB. The result is presented in one-sided form, from 0x3FF to 0x000.
17.8.2 Unipolar Differential Conversion
If differential channels and an unipolar input mode are used, the result is:
 V POS – V NEG   1024
ADC = -------------------------------------------------------  GAIN
V REF
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin, and VREF the selected voltage
reference (see Table 17-4 on page 188 and Table 17-5 on page 189). The voltage on the positive pin must always be larger
than the voltage on the negative pin or otherwise the voltage difference is saturated to zero. The result is presented in onesided form, from 0x000 (0d) to 0x3FF (+1023d). The GAIN is either 8x or 20x.
17.8.3 Bipolar Differential Conversion
As default the ADC converter operates in the unipolar input mode, but the bipolar input mode can be selected by writing the
BIN bit in the ADCSRB register to one. In the bipolar input mode two-sided voltage differences are allowed and thus the
voltage on the negative input pin can also be larger than the voltage on the positive input pin. If differential channels and a
bipolar input mode are used, the result is:
 V POS – V NEG   512
ADC = ----------------------------------------------------  GAIN
V REF
where VPOS is the voltage on the positive input pin, VNEG the voltage on the negative input pin, and VREF the selected voltage
reference. The result is presented in two’s complement form, from 0x200 (–512d) through 0x000 (+0d) to 0x1FF (+511d). The
GAIN is either 8x or 20x.
However, if the signal is not bipolar by nature (9 bits + sign as the 10th bit), this scheme loses one bit of the converter
dynamic range. Then, if the user wants to perform the conversion with the maximum dynamic range, the user can perform a
quick polarity check of the result and use the unipolar differential conversion with selectable differential input pair. When the
polarity check is performed, it is sufficient to read the MSB of the result (ADC9 in ADCH register). If the bit is one, the result
is negative, and if this bit is zero, the result is positive.

17.9
Temperature Measurement
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor that is coupled to a single ended ADC input.
MUX[4..0] bits in ADMUX register enables the temperature sensor. The internal 1.1V voltage reference must also be
selected for the ADC voltage reference source in the temperature sensor measurement. When the temperature sensor is
enabled, the ADC converter can be used in single conversion mode to measure the voltage over the temperature sensor.
The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature as described in Table 17-2 on page 187. The voltage
sensitivity is approximately 1 LSB/°C and the accuracy of the temperature measurement is ±10°C using manufacturing
calibration values (TS_GAIN, TS_OFFSET). The values described in Table 17-2 on page 187 are typical values. However,
due to the process variation the temperature sensor output varies from one chip to another.

17.10 Internal Voltage Reference Output
The internal voltage reference is output on XREF pin as described in Table 17-3 on page 188 if the ADC is turned on (see
Section 6.2.1 “Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time” on page 51). Addition of an external filter capacitor
(5 to 10nF) on XREF pin may be necessary. XREF current load must be from 1µA to 100µA with VCC from 2.7V to 5.5V for
XREF = 1.1V and with VCC from 4.5V to 5.5V for XREF = 2.56V.
XREF pin can be coupled to an analog input of the ADC (see Section 1.6 “Pin Configuration” on page 6).

• Bit 7:6 – REFS1:REFS0: Voltage Reference Selection Bits
These bits and AREFEN bit from the analog miscellaneous control register (AMISCR) select the voltage reference for the
ADC, as shown in Table 17-4. If these bits are changed during a conversion, the change will not go in effect until this
conversion is complete (ADIF in ADCSRA register is set). Whenever these bits are changed, the next conversion will take 25
ADC clock cycles. If active channels are used, using AVCC or an external AREF higher than (AVcc – 1V) is not
recommended, as this will affect ADC accuracy. The internal voltage reference options may not be used if an external
voltage is being applied to the AREF pin.

• Bit 5 – ADLAR: ADC Left Adjust Result
The ADLAR bit affects the presentation of the ADC conversion result in the ADC data register. Write one to ADLAR to left
adjust the result. Otherwise, the result is right 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 Section 17.11.3 “ADCL and
ADCH – The ADC Data Register” on page 191.

• Bits 4:0 – MUX4:0: Analog Channel and Gain Selection Bits
These bits select which combination of analog inputs are connected to the ADC. In case of differential input, gain selection is
also made with these bits. Refer to Table 17-5 on page 189 for details. If these bits are changed during a conversion, the
change will not go into effect until this conversion is complete (ADIF in ADCSRA register is set).

• Bit 7 – ADEN: ADC Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the ADC. By writing it to zero, the ADC is turned off. Turning the ADC off while a conversion is
in progress, will terminate this conversion.
• Bit 6 – ADSC: ADC Start Conversion
In single conversion mode, write this bit to one to start each conversion. In free running mode, write this bit to one to start the
first conversion. The first conversion after ADSC has been written after the ADC has been enabled, or if ADSC is written at
the same time as the ADC is enabled, will take 25 ADC clock cycles instead of the normal 13. This first conversion performs
initialization of the ADC.
ADSC will read as one as long as a conversion is in progress. When the conversion is complete, it returns to zero. Writing
zero to this bit has no effect.
• Bit 5 – ADATE: ADC Auto Trigger Enable
When this bit is written to one, auto triggering of the ADC is enabled. The ADC will start a conversion on a positive edge of
the selected trigger signal. The trigger source is selected by setting the ADC trigger select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB.
• Bit 4 – ADIF: ADC Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when an ADC conversion completes and the data registers are updated. The ADC conversion complete
interrupt is executed if the ADIE bit and the I-bit in SREG are set. ADIF is cleared by hardware when executing the
corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ADIF is cleared by writing a logical one to the flag. Beware that if
doing a read-modify-write on ADCSRA, a pending interrupt can be disabled. This also applies if the SBI and CBI instructions
are used.
• Bit 3 – ADIE: ADC Interrupt Enable
When this bit is written to one and the I-bit in SREG is set, the ADC conversion complete interrupt is activated.
• Bits 2:0 – ADPS2:0: ADC Prescaler Select Bits
These bits determine the division factor between the system clock frequency and the input clock to the ADC.

When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers.
When ADCL is read, the ADC data register is not updated until ADCH is read. Consequently, 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.
The ADLAR bit in ADMUX, and the MUXn bits 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.
• ADC9:0: ADC Conversion Result

• Bit 7– BIN: Bipolar Input Mode
The gain stage is working in the unipolar mode as default, but the bipolar mode can be selected by writing the BIN bit in the
ADCSRB register. In the unipolar mode only one-sided conversions are supported and the voltage on the positive input must
always be larger than the voltage on the negative input. Otherwise the result is saturated to the voltage reference. In the
bipolar mode two-sided conversions are supported and the result is represented in the two’s complement form. In the
unipolar mode the resolution is 10 bits and the bipolar mode the resolution is 9 bits + 1 sign bit.
• Bit 3 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices it must be written to zero when ADCSRB register is
written.

• Bits 2:0 – ADTS2:0: ADC Auto Trigger Source
If ADATE in ADCSRA register is written to one, the value of these bits selects which source will trigger an ADC conversion.
If ADATE is cleared, the ADTS2:0 settings will have no effect. A conversion will be triggered by the rising edge of the
selected interrupt flag. Note that switching from a trigger source that is cleared to a trigger source that is set, will generate a
positive edge on the trigger signal. If ADEN in ADCSRA register is set, this will start a conversion. Switching to free running
mode (ADTS[2:0]=0) will not cause a trigger event, even if the ADC interrupt flag is set.

AnaComp - Analog Comparator
The analog comparator compares the input values on the positive pin (AIN1) and negative pin (AIN0). When the voltage on
the positive pin is higher than the voltage on the negative pin, the analog comparator output, ACO, is set. The comparator
can trigger a separate interrupt, exclusive to the analog comparator. The user can select interrupt triggering on comparator
output rise, fall or toggle. A block diagram of the comparator and its surrounding logic is shown in Figure 18-1.

• Bit 6 – ACME: Analog Comparator Multiplexer Enable
When this bit is written logic one and the ADC is switched off (ADEN in ADCSRA is zero), the ADC multiplexer selects the
positive input to the analog comparator. When this bit is written logic zero, AIN1 is applied to the positive input of the analog
comparator.
When the analog to digital converter (ADC) is configured as single ended input channel, it is possible to select any of the
ADC[10..0] pins to replace the positive input to the analog comparator. The ADC multiplexer (MUX[4..0]) is used to select
this input, and consequently, the ADC must be switched off to utilize this feature.

• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the analog comparator is switched off. This bit can be set at any time to turn
off the analog comparator. This will reduce power consumption in active and idle mode. When changing the ACD bit, the
analog comparator interrupt must be disabled by clearing the ACIE bit of ACSR register. Otherwise an interrupt can occur
when the bit is changed.
• Bit 6 – ACIRS: Analog Comparator Internal Reference Select
When this bit is set an internal reference voltage replaces the negative input to the analog comparator (c.f. Table 18-3 on
page 197). If ACIRS is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the negative input to the analog comparator.
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output
The output of the analog comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to ACO. The synchronization introduces a
delay of 1 - 2 clock cycles.
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag
This bit is set by hardware when a comparator output event triggers the interrupt mode defined by ACIS1 and ACIS0. The
analog comparator interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE bit is set and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag.
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the status register is set, the analog comparator interrupt is activated.
When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When written logic one, this bit enables the input capture function in Timer/counter1 to be triggered by the analog
comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly connected to the input capture front-end logic, making the
comparator utilize the noise canceler and edge select features of the Timer/counter1 Input capture interrupt. When written
logic zero, no connection between the analog comparator and the input capture function exists. To make the comparator
trigger the Timer/counter1 input capture interrupt, the ICIE1 bit in the timer interrupt mask register (TIMSK1) must be set.
• Bits 1, 0 – ACIS1, ACIS0: Analog Comparator Interrupt Mode Select
These bits determine which comparator events that trigger the analog comparator interrupt. The different settings are shown
in Table 18-1.

pin and the digital input from this pin is not needed, this bit should be written logic one to reduce power consumption in the

Analog Comparator Inputs
18.2.1 Analog Compare Positive Input
It is possible to select any of the inputs of the ADC positive input multiplexer to replace the positive input to the analog
comparator. The ADC multiplexer is used to select this input, and consequently, the ADC must be switched off to utilize this
feature. If the analog comparator multiplexer enable bit (ACME in ADCSRB register) is set and the ADC is switched off
(ADEN in ADCSRA register is zero), MUX[4..0] in ADMUX register select the input pin to replace the positive input to the
analog comparator, as shown in Table 18-2 on page 196. If ACME is cleared or ADEN is set, AIN1 pin is applied to the
positive input to the analog comparator.

Overview
The debugWIRE on-chip debug system uses a One-wire, bi-directional interface to control the program flow, execute AVR®
instructions in the CPU and to program the different non-volatile memories.
19.3
Physical Interface
When the debugWIRE enable (DWEN) fuse is programmed and lock bits are unprogrammed, the debugWIRE system within
the target device is activated. The RESET port pin is configured as a wire-AND (open-drain) bi-directional I/O pin with pull-up
enabled and becomes the communication gateway between target and emulator.

Figure 19-1 shows the schematic of a target MCU, with debugWIRE enabled, and the emulator connector. The system clock
is not affected by debugWIRE and will always be the clock source selected by the CKSEL fuses.
When designing a system where debugWIRE will be used, the following observations must be made for correct operation:
● Pull-up resistors on the dW/(RESET) line must not be smaller than 10k. The pull-up resistor is not required for
debugWIRE functionality.
●
●
●

Connecting the RESET pin directly to Vcc will not work.
Capacitors connected to the RESET pin must be disconnected when using debugWire.
All external reset sources must be disconnected.

19.4
Software Break Points
DebugWIRE supports program memory break points by the AVR® BREAK instruction. Setting a break point in Atmel® AVR
Studio® will insert a BREAK instruction in the program memory. The instruction replaced by the BREAK instruction will be
stored. When program execution is continued, the stored instruction will be executed before continuing from the program
memory. A break can be inserted manually by putting the BREAK instruction in the program.
The flash must be re-programmed each time a break point is changed. This is automatically handled by AVR Studio through
the debugWIRE interface. The use of break points will therefore reduce the flash data retention. Devices used for debugging
purposes should not be shipped to end customers.
19.5
Limitations of DebugWIRE
The debugWIRE communication pin (dW) is physically located on the same pin as external reset (RESET). An external reset
source is therefore not supported when the debugWIRE is enabled.
The debugWIRE system accurately emulates all I/O functions when running at full speed, i.e., when the program in the CPU
is running. When the CPU is stopped, care must be taken while accessing some of the I/O registers via the debugger (AVR
Studio).
A programmed DWEN fuse enables some parts of the clock system to be running in all sleep modes. This will increase the
power consumption while in sleep. Thus, the DWEN Fuse should be disabled when debugWire is not used.

The DWDR register provides a communication channel from the running program in the MCU to the debugger. This register
is only accessible by the debugWIRE and can therefore not be used as a general purpose register in the normal operations.

Flash Programming
The device provides a self-programming mechanism for downloading and uploading program code by the MCU itself. The
self-programming can use any available data interface (i.e. LIN, USART, ...) and associated protocol to read code and write
(program) that code into the program memory.
The program memory is updated in a page by page fashion. Before programming a page with the data stored in the
temporary page buffer, the page must be erased. The temporary page buffer is filled one word at a time using SPM and the
buffer can be filled either before the page erase command or between a page erase and a page write operation:
● Alternative 1, fill the buffer before a page erase
●
●
Fill temporary page buffer
●
Perform a page erase
●
Perform a page write
Alternative 2, fill the buffer after page erase
●
Perform a page erase
●
Fill temporary page buffer
●
Perform a page write
If only a part of the page needs to be changed, the rest of the page must be stored (for example in the temporary page
buffer) before the erase, and then be re-written. When using alternative 1, the boot loader provides an effective read-modifywrite feature which allows the user software to first read the page, do the necessary changes, and then write back the
modified data. If alternative 2 is used, it is not possible to read the old data while loading since the page is already erased.
The temporary page buffer can be accessed in a random sequence. It is essential that the page address used in both the
page erase and page write operation is addressing the same page.
20.1
Self-programming the Flash
20.1.1 Performing Page Erase by SPM
To execute page erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000011 b” to SPMCSR and execute SPM within four
clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored. The page address must be written to PCPAGE in the
Z-register. Other bits in the Z-pointer will be ignored during this operation.
● The CPU is halted during the page erase operation.
20.1.2 Filling the Temporary Buffer (Page Loading)
To write an instruction word, set up the address in the Z-pointer and data in R1:R0, write “00000001b” to SPMCSR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The content of PCWORD in the Z-register is used to address
the data in the temporary buffer. The temporary buffer will auto-erase after a page write operation or by writing the CTPB bit
in SPMCSR. It is also erased after a system reset. Note that it is not possible to write more than one time to each address
without erasing the temporary buffer.
If the EEPROM is written in the middle of an SPM page load operation, all data loaded will be lost.
20.1.3 Performing a Page Write
To execute page write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000101 b” to SPMCSR and execute SPM within four
clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored. The page address must be written to PCPAGE. Other
bits in the Z-pointer must be written to zero during this operation.
● The CPU is halted during the Page Write operation.

Since the flash is organized in pages (see Table 21-7 on page 210), the program counter can be treated as having two
different sections. One section, consisting of the least significant bits, is addressing the words within a page, while the most
significant bits are addressing the pages. This is shown in Figure 20-1.
Note that the page erase and page write operations are addressed independently. Therefore it is of major importance that
the software addresses the same page in both the page erase and page write operation.
The LPM instruction uses the Z-pointer to store the address. Since this instruction addresses the flash byte-by-byte, also the
LSB (bit Z0) of the Z-pointer is used.

• Bit 7 – Res: Reserved Bit
This bit is a reserved bit in the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – RWWSB: Read-While-Write Section Busy
This bit is for compatibility with devices supporting read-while-write. It will always read as zero in Atmel ATtiny87/167.
• Bit 5 – SIGRD: Signature Row Read
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next LPM instruction within three clock cycles will read a byte from
the signature row into the destination register. See Section 20.2.4 “Reading the Signature Row from Software” on page 204
for details. An SPM instruction within four cycles after SIGRD and SPMEN are set will have no effect.
• Bit 4 – CTPB: Clear Temporary Page Buffer
If the CTPB bit is written while filling the temporary page buffer, the temporary page buffer will be cleared and the data will be
lost.
• Bit 3 – RFLB: Read Fuse and Lock Bits
An LPM instruction within three cycles after RFLB and SPMEN are set in the SPMCSR register, will read either the lock bits
or the fuse bits (depending on Z0 in the Z-pointer) into the destination register. See Section 20.2.3 “Reading the Fuse and
Lock Bits from Software” on page 203 for details.
• Bit 2 – PGWRT: Page Write
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock cycles executes page write,
with the data stored in the temporary buffer. The page address is taken from the high part of the Z-pointer. The data in R1
and R0 are ignored. The PGWRT bit will auto-clear upon completion of a page write, or if no SPM instruction is executed
within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted during the entire page write operation.
• Bit 1 – PGERS: Page Erase
If this bit is written to one at the same time as SPMEN, the next SPM instruction within four clock cycles executes page
erase. The page address is taken from the high part of the Zpointer. The data in R1 and R0 are ignored. The PGERS bit will
auto-clear upon completion of a page erase, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles. The CPU is halted
during the entire page write operation.
• Bit 0 – SPMEN: Self Programming Enable
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one together with either SIGRD, CTPB, RFLB,
PGWRT, or PGERS, the following SPM instruction will have a special meaning, see description above. If only SPMEN is
written, the following SPM instruction will store the value in R1:R0 in the temporary page buffer addressed by the Z-pointer.
The LSB of the Z-pointer is ignored. The SPMEN bit will auto-clear upon completion of an SPM instruction, or if no SPM
instruction is executed within four clock cycles. During page erase and page write, the SPMEN bit remains high until the
operation is completed.
Writing any other combination than “10 0001 b”, “01 0001 b”, “00 1001 b”, “00 0101 b”, “00 0011 b” or “00 0001 b” in the lower
six bits will have no effect.
Note:
202
Only one SPM instruction should be active at any time.

20.2.2 EEPROM Write Prevents Writing to SPMCSR
Note that an EEPROM write operation will block all software programming to flash. Reading the fuses and lock bits from
software will also be prevented during the EEPROM write operation. It is recommended that the user checks the status bit
(EEPE) in the EECR register and verifies that the bit is cleared before writing to the SPMCSR register.
20.2.3 Reading the Fuse and Lock Bits from Software
It is possible to read both the fuse and lock bits from software. To read the lock bits, load the Z-pointer with 0x0001 and set
the RFLB and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the RFLB and
SPMEN bits are set in SPMCSR, the value of the lock bits will be loaded in the destination register. The RFLB and SPMEN
bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the lock bits or if no LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles or no
SPM instruction is executed within four CPU cycles. When RFLB and SPMEN are cleared, LPM will work as described in the
instruction set manual.

The algorithm for reading the fuse low byte is similar to the one described above for reading the lock bits. To read the fuse
low byte, load the Z-pointer with 0x0000 and set the RFLB and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is
executed within three cycles after the RFLB and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR, the value of the fuse low byte (FLB)
will be loaded in the destination register as shown below. See Table 21-5 on page 209 for a detailed description and mapping
of the fuse low byte.

Similarly, when reading the fuse high byte (FHB), load 0x0003 in the Z-pointer. When an LPM instruction is executed within
three cycles after the RFLB and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR, the value of the fuse high byte will be loaded in the
destination register as shown below. See Table 21-4 on page 208 for detailed description and mapping of the fuse high byte.

20.2.4 Reading the Signature Row from Software
To read the signature row from software, load the Z-pointer with the signature byte address given in Table 20-1 on page 204
and set the SIGRD and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles after the
SIGRD and SPMEN bits are set in SPMCSR, the signature byte value will be loaded in the destination register. The SIGRD
and SPMEN bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Signature Row Lock bits or if no LPM instruction is executed
within three CPU cycles. When SIGRD and SPMEN are cleared, LPM will work as described in the instruction set manual.

20.2.5 Preventing Flash Corruption
During periods of low Vcc, the flash program can be corrupted because the supply voltage is too low for the CPU and the
flash to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using the flash, and the same design
solutions should be applied.
A flash program corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low.
● First, a regular write sequence to the flash 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.
Flash 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 low Vcc reset protection circuit can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in progress, the
write operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.
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 SPMCSR register and thus the flash from
unintentional writes.
20.2.6 Programming Time for Flash when Using SPM
The calibrated RC oscillator is used to time flash accesses. Table 20-2 shows the typical programming time for flash
accesses from the CPU.

20.2.7 Simple Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader
Note that the RWWSB bit will always be read as zero in Atmel® ATtiny87/167. Nevertheless, it is
recommended to check this bit as shown in the code example, to ensure compatibility with devices supporting read-whilewrite.

Calibration Byte
The Atmel ATtiny87/167 has a byte calibration value for the internal RC oscillator. This byte resides in the high byte of
address 0x000 in the signature address space. During reset, this byte is automatically written into the OSCCAL register to
ensure correct frequency of the calibrated RC oscillator.

Parallel Programming Parameters, Pin Mapping, and Commands
This section describes how to parallel program and verify flash program memory, EEPROM Data memory, memory lock bits,
and fuse bits in the Atmel ATtiny87/167. Pulses are assumed to be at least 250 ns unless otherwise noted.
21.6.1 Signal Names
In this section, some pins of the Atmel® ATtiny87/167 are referenced by signal names describing their functionality during
parallel programming, see Figure 21-1 and Figure 21-9. 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
Figure 21-11 on page 211.
When pulsing WR or OE, the command loaded determines the action executed. The different commands are shown in
Figure 21-12 on page 211.

Parallel Programming
21.7.1 Enter Programming Mode
The following algorithm puts the device in parallel programming mode:
1. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between Vcc and GND.
2.
Set RESET to “0” and toggle XTAL1 at least six times.
3.
Set the prog_enable pins listed in Table 21-10 to “0000 b” and wait at least 100ns.
4.
Apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET. Any activity on Prog_enable pins within 100ns after +12V has been applied to
RESET, will cause the device to fail entering programming mode.
5.
Wait at least 50µs before sending a new command.
21.7.2 Considerations for Efficient Programming
The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For efficient programming, the following
should be considered.
● The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory locations.
●
Skip writing the data value 0xFF, 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.
21.7.3 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 EEPRPOM memory is preserved during chip erase if the EESAVE fuse is programmed.
Load Command “chip erase”
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “1,0 ”. This enables command loading.
2.
Set BS1 to “0”.
3.
Set DATA to “1000 0000 b”. 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.
21.7.4 Programming the Flash
The flash is organized in pages, see Table 21-7 on page 210. 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 “1,0”. This enables command loading.
2.
Set BS1 to “0”.
3.
Set DATA to “0001 0000 b”. 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.
212
2.
Set BS1 to “0”. This selects low address.
3.
Set DATA = address low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4.
Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address low byte.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
C. Load Data Low Byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “0,1”. This enables data loading.
2.
Set DATA = data low byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
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 “0,1”. This enables data loading.
3.
Set DATA = data high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4.
Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the data byte.
E. Latch Data
1. Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high data byte.
2.
Give PAGEL a positive pulse. This latches the data bytes. (See Figure 21-3 on page 214 for signal waveforms)
F. Repeat B through E 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 21-2. Note that if less than eight 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.
G. Load Address High byte
1. Set XA1, XA0 to “0,0”. This enables address loading.
2.
Set BS1 to “1”. This selects high address.
3.
Set DATA = address high byte (0x00 - 0xFF).
4.
Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the address high byte.
H. Program Page
1. Give WR a negative pulse. This starts programming of the entire page of data. RDY/BSY goes low.
2.
Wait until RDY/BSY goes high (See Figure 21-3 on page 214 for signal waveforms).
I. Repeat B through H until the entire flash is programmed or until all data has been programmed.
J. End Page Programming
1. 1. Set XA1, XA0 to “1,0”. This enables command loading.
2.
Set DATA to “0000 0000 b”. This is the command for no operation.
3.
Give XTAL1 a positive pulse. This loads the command, and the internal write signals are reset.

Serial Downloading
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 21-13 on page 218, the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

Serial clock
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 0xFF.
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 < 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck ≥ 12Hz
High: > 2 CPU clock cycles for fck < 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for fck ≥ 12MHz
21.8.1 Serial Programming Algorithm
When writing serial data to the Atmel® ATtiny87/167, data is clocked on the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the ATtiny87/167, data is clocked on the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 21-7 and Figure 21-8 on
page 221 for timing details.
To program and verify the Atmel ATtiny87/167 in the serial programming mode, the following sequence is recommended
(see four byte instruction formats in Table 21-15 on page 220):
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.
218
Wait for at least 20ms and enable serial programming by sending the programming enable serial instruction to pin
MOSI.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
3.
The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchronization. When in sync.
the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third byte of the programming enable instruction. Whether
the echo is correct or not, all four bytes of the instruction must be transmitted. If the 0x53 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 memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 5
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 a given address. The program
memory page is stored by loading the write program memory age instruction with the 6 MSB of the address. If
polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least t WD_FLASH before issuing the next page.
(See Table 21-14) accessing the serial programming interface before the flash write operation completes can
result in incorrect programming.
5.
A: 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 (RDY/BSY) is not used, the user must wait at least t WD_EEPROM before issuing the next byte.
(See Table 21-14) in a chip erased device, no 0xFFs in the data file(s) need to be programmed.
B: The EEPROM array is programmed one page at a time. The memory page is loaded one byte at a time by supplying the 2 LSB of the address and data together with the load EEPROM memory page instruction. The
EEPROM memory page is stored by loading the write EEPROM memory page instruction with the 6 MSB of the
address. When using EEPROM page access only byte locations loaded with the Load EEPROM memory page
instruction is altered. The remaining locations remain unchanged. If polling (RDY/BSY) is not used, the used must
wait at least t WD_EEPROM before issuing the next page (See Table 21-8 on page 210). In a chip erased device, no
0xFF 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.

1. “Typ.”, typical values at 25°C. Maximum values are characterized values and not test limits in production.
2. “Max.” means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low.
3. “Min.” means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high.
4. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (10mA at Vcc= 5V, 5mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed: The sum of all IOL, for all ports, should not exceed 120mA.
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 (10mA at Vcc = 5V, 5mA at Vcc = 3V) under steady state
conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed: The sum of all IOH, for all ports, should not exceed 120mA.
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.

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 = 101 for low operating voltage and BODLEVEL = 100 for high operating voltage.

Decoupling Capacitors
The operating frequency (i.e. system clock) of the processor determines in 95% of cases the value needed for
microcontroller decoupling capacitors.
The hypotheses used as first evaluation for decoupling capacitors are:
● The operating frequency (fop) supplies itself the maximum peak levels of noise. The main peaks are located at fop and
2 fop.
●
An SMC capacitor connected to 2 micro-vias on a PCB has the following characteristics:
●
1.5 nH from the connection of the capacitor to the PCB,
●
1.5 nH from the capacitor intrinsic inductance.
Figure 23-1. Capacitor description
1.5 nH
0.75 nH

Capacitor
PCB
According to the operating frequency of the product, the decoupling capacitances are chosen considering the frequencies to
filter, fop and 2 fop.
The relation between frequencies to cut and decoupling characteristics are defined by:
1
1
fop = --------------------- and 2  fop = --------------------2 LC 1
2 LC 2
where:
●
●
L: the inductance equivalent to the global inductance on the Vcc/Gnd lines.
C1 and C2: decoupling capacitors (C1 = 4 C2).
Then, in normalized value range, the decoupling capacitors become:

These decoupling capacitors must to be implemented as close as possible to each pair of power supply pins:
● 16-17 for logic sub-system,
●
5-6 for analogical sub-system.
Nevertheless, a bulk capacitor of 10-47µF is also needed on the power distribution network of the PCB, near the power
source.
For further information, please refer to application notes AVR® 040 “EMC design considerations” and AVR042 “hardware
design considerations” on the Atmel® web site.

Typical Characteristics
The data contained in this section is largely based on simulations and characterization of similar devices in the same
process and design methods. Thus, the data should be treated as indications of how the part will behave.
The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manufacturing. 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.

1. Address bits exceeding EEAMSB (Table 21-8 on page 210) are don’t care.
2. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory
addresses should never be written.
3. I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these
registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions.
4. Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical one to them. Note that, unlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI
instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags.
The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
5. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When addressing I/O
registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses. The Atmel®
ATtiny87/167 is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64 location
reserved in opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in SRAM, only the
ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

CRC calculation of diagnostic frames in LIN 2.x.
Gain control of the crystal oscillator.
‘Disable clock source’ command remains enabled.
Comparison between ADC inputs and voltage references.
Register bits of DIDR1.
LIN break delimiter.
Errata Description
1.
CRC calculation of diagnostic frames in LIN 2.x
Diagnostic frames of LIN 2.x use “classic checksum” calculation. Unfortunately, the setting of the checksum model
is enabled when the HEADER is transmitted/received. Usually, in LIN 2.x the LIN/UART controller is initialized to
process “enhanced checksums” and a slave task does not know what kind of frame it will work on before checking
the ID.
Problem Fix/Workaround
This workaround is to be implemented only in case of transmission/reception of diagnostic frames.
a.
Slave task of master node:
Before enabling the HEADER, the master must set the appropriate LIN13 bit value in LINCR register.
b.
For slaves nodes, the workaround is in 2 parts:
●
Before enabling the RESPONSE, use the following function:
void lin_wa_head(void) {
unsigned char temp;
temp = LINBTR;
LINCR = 0x00;
// It is not a RESET !
LINBTR = (1<<LDISR)|temp;
LINCR
= (1<<LIN13)|(1<<LENA)|(0<<LCMD2)|(0<<LCMD1)|(0<<LCMD0);
LINDLR = 0x88;
// If it isn't already done
}
●
Once the RESPONSE is received or sent (having RxOK or TxOK as well as LERR), use the following function:
void lin_wa_tail(void)
LINCR = 0x00;
{
// It is not a RESET !
LINBTR = 0x00;
LINCR
= (0<<LIN13)|(1<<LENA)|(0<<LCMD2)|(0<<LCMD1)|(0<<LCMD0);
}
The time-out counter is disabled during the RESPONSE when this workaround is set.
ATtiny87/ATtiny167 [DATASHEET]
7728H–AVR–03/14
257
2.
Gain control of the crystal oscillator
The crystal oscillator (0.4 -> 16MHz) doesn’t latch its gain control (CKSEL/CSEL[2..0] bits):
a.
The ‘recover system clock source’ command doesn’t returns CSEL[2..0] bits.
b.
The gain control can be modified on the fly if CLKSELR changes.
Problem Fix/Workaround
a.
No workaround.
b.
As soon as possible, after any CLKSELR modification, re-write the appropriate crystal
oscillator setting (CSEL[3]=1 and CSEL[2..0] / CSUT[1..0] bits) in CLKSELR.
Code example:
; Select crystal oscillator ( 16MHz crystal, fast rising power)
ldi
temp1,((0x0F<<CSEL0)|(0x02<<CSUT0))
sts
CLKSELR, temp1
; Enable clock source (crystal oscillator)
ldi
temp2,(1<<CLKCCE)
ldi
temp3,(0x02<<CLKC0)
; CSEL = "0010"
sts
CLKCSR,temp2
; Enable CLKCSR register access
sts
CLKCSR,temp3
; Enable crystal oscillator clock
; Clock source switch
ldi
temp3,(0x04<<CLKC0)
; CSEL = "0100"
sts
CLKCSR,temp2
; Enable CLKCSR register access
sts
CLKCSR,temp3
; Clock source switch
; Select watchdog clock ( 128KHz, fast rising power)
ldi
temp3,((0x03<<CSEL0)|(0x02<<CSUT0))
sts
CLKSELR, temp3
; (*)
; (*) !!! Loose gain control of crystal oscillator !!!
; ==> WORKAROUND ...
sts
CLKSELR, temp1
; ...
3.
Disable clock source’ command remains enabled
In the dynamic clock switch module, the ‘disable clock source’ command remains running after disabling the targeted
clock source (the clock source is set in the CLKSELR register).
Problem Fix/Workaround
After a ‘disable clock source’ command, reset the CLKCSR register writing 0x80.
Code example:
; Select crystal oscillator
ldi
temp1,(0x0F<<CSEL0)
sts
CLKSELR, temp1
; Disable clock source (crystal oscillator)
ldi
temp2,(1<<CLKCCE)
ldi
temp3,(0x01<<CLKC0)
; CSEL = "0001"
sts
CLKCSR,temp2
; Enable CLKCSR register access
sts
CLKCSR,temp3
; (*) Disable crystal oscillator clock
; (*) !!! At this moment, if any other clock source is selected by CLKSELR,
;
this clock source will also stop !!!
; ==> WORKAROUND ...

4.
Comparison between ADC inputs and voltage references
In the analog comparator module, comparing any ADC input (ADC[10..0]) with voltage references (2.56V, 1.28V,
1.10V, 0.64V or 0.32V) fails.
Regardless, AIN1 input can be compared with the voltage references and any ADC input can be compared with AIN0
input.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Do not use this configuration.
5.
Register bits of DIDR1
ADC8D, ADC9D and ADC10D (digital input disable) initially located at bit 4 up to 6 are instead located at bit 0 up to 2.
These register bits are also in write only mode.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Allow for the change in bit locations and the access mode restriction.
6.
LIN Break Delimiter
In SLAVE MODE, a BREAK field detection error can occur under following conditions.
The problem occurs if 2 conditions occur simultaneously:
a.
The DOMINANT part of the BREAK is (N+0.5)*Tbit long with N=13, 14,15, ...
b.
The RECESSIVE part of the BREAK (BREAK DELIMITER) is equal to 1*Tbit. (see note below)
The BREAK_high is not detected, and the 2nd bit of the SYNC field is interpreted as the BREAK DELIMITER.
The error is detected as a framing error on the first bits of the PID or on subsequent Data or a Checksum error.
There is no error if BREAK_high is greater than 1 Tbit + 18%.
There is no problem in master mode.
Note:
LIN2.1 protocol specification paragraph 2.3.1.1 Break field says: “A break field is always generated by the
master task(in the master node) and it shall be at least 13 nominal bit times of dominant value, followed by a
break delimiter, as shown in Figure 29-1. The break delimiter shall be at least one nominal bit time long.”
