Description
The Atmel AT86RF401 Smart RF Microtransmitter is a highly integrated, low-cost RF
transmitter, combined with an AVR RISC microcontroller. It requires only a crystal, a
single LiMnO2 coin cell (CR2032 or similar), three capacitors, an inductor and a tunedloop antenna to implement a complete on-off keyed (OOF) wireless RF data
transmitter.

In-system programmable, nonvolatile Flash program memory and EEPROM data storage make possible rapid time-to-market and lower inventory costs.In-system
programmable, nonvolatile Flash program memory and EEPROM data storage make
possible rapid time-to-market and lower inventory costs.Static current consumption is
kept to a minimum with an ultra-low current shutdown mode. Normal operation resumes
when a button is pressed. This activates the crystal oscillator circuit that serves as the
clock for the AVR microcontroller.
The RF carrier is synthesized utilizing an on-board Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO).
Optimal tuning of the VCO is maintained over component tolerance through the use of a
software-controlled switched capacitor array. Its accuracy is maintained with a PLL
detector that compares the crystal oscillator to a frequency-scaled version (divided by
24) of the RF carrier. The resulting error signal adjusts the VCO to produce a very stable
RF carrier.
An interrupt-based bit-timer structure, integral to the AVR microcontroller, simplifies the
implementation of user-specific, data-bit encoding routines, such as PWM or Manchester, for modulating the RF carrier. Thirty-six dB of RF power output control is available to
the user in 1 dB steps and is addressable in software. The RF signal output is placed differentially on a tuned-loop antenna, which may be realized as a counterspread copper
trace on a PCB.
The AT86RF401 is fabricated in Atmel’s 0.6 µm Mixed Signal CMOS + EEPROM process, enabling true system-level integration (SLI).

Functional
Description
The complete circuit consists of the following functional blocks.
Transmitter
Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator circuit is designed to work with crystals with fundamental frequencies between 11 and 19 MHz. Forty pF of internal capacitance is connected between
each of the crystal input pins and (chip) ground. Alternatively, an external clock can be
used for these functions.
This circuit provides the master clock for the entire chip. A programmable divider is used
to provide the AVR system clock.
Radio Frequency Power
Amplifier
The RF power amplifier generates a differential output suitable for driving an off-chip
tuned-loop antenna from the PLL output. The PLL output signal is gated using on-off
keyed (OOK) modulation before transmission. It is used as the RF carrier frequency for
the transmitted data stream. The amplifier can be configured via software to reduce the
power output by 36 dB (with 1 dB resolution).
Frequency Synthesizer
The frequency synthesizer utilizes a PLL, which consists of a phase detector, a ÷24
prescaler, an on-chip loop filter and an integrated VCO. The VCO output is buffered
prior to the output amplifier. The output frequency is 24 times the crystal frequency. To
offset component tolerance, a switched capacitor array is connected between pins 3
and 4 of the VCO. Thirty-two discrete steps of capacitance are available to tune the
VCO control voltage. An internal window comparator monitors the magnitude of the tuning voltage and is used by the AVR core to determine the optimal tuning configuration.
Lock Detector
The lock detection block provides an indication of the state of the phase lock loop (PLL).
Lock condition is determined by counting the number of cycle slips in a given time
9
1424F–RKE–12/03
period. A number of registers are available to adjust the performance of the lock detector. These include lock delay and unlock delay timers as well as a cycle slip counter.
Bandgap Reference
The device uses a 1.2V (nominal) bandgap reference generator to provide consistent
performance over a wide range of input supply voltages. This reference voltage is used
throughout the device.
Brown-out Protection/Low
Battery Detection
The brown-out protection and low battery detection functions consist of a voltage reference, a sampling block and an autozero comparator. The circuit’s primary operating
mode is brown-out protection.
Brown-out Protection
The brown-out protection circuit detects when the level of VDD drops below the minimum
voltage that guarantees proper operation. The brown-out voltage for this device is typically 1.8 volts.
If a brown-out occurs, the device enters a reset state. It stays in this state until either of
the following occurs:
Low Battery Detection
•
The level of VDD increases ~0.1–0.2 volts above the brown-out voltage. This causes
the device to enter a warm reboot state.
•
The level of V DD drops to ~0 volts, then increases above the POR level. This places
the device into the “cold start” mode of operation, identical to battery insertion.
The low battery detection feature allows the programmer to select a voltage threshold
(1.5–2.7 volts) for VDD at which a warning flag is issued to the user. For example, this
warning may be utilized to activate an I/O port or to change the transmitted message.
Additionally, the programmer has the option of defining the amount of hysteresis on this
threshold. More detail can be found in register descriptions for I/O Enable (IO_ENAB,
$30, page 39) and Battery Low Configuration (BL_CONFIG, $35, page 42).

1424F–RKE–12/03
AT86RF401
Bit Timer
A hardware assist has been included in the AT86RF401 to make transmission of data
easier. Keying of the transmitter is timed by this logic, and interrupts are generated
when data is needed by the timer or when transmission is complete. The timer also supports code that uses polling instead of interrupts. Using polling instead of interrupts may
facilitate higher bit rates. Additionally, this timer may be used to time pulses arriving at
the I/O3 pin. This enables the AT86RF401 to be used to decode the signal detected by
an external receiver chip. For additional information on how to implement the bit timer,
see AT86RF401 Bit Timer Application Note, available at www.atmel.com.
Bit Timer in Transmit Mode
Bit coding is done by the AVR before data is sent to the bit timer. Bit timing is controlled
by the count value in the Bit Timer Count (BTCNT) register and the two most significant
bits in the Bit Timer Control Register (BTCR). Generally the time of each bit is:
P x x = P × ( countval + 1 )
where Pxx is the period of each time slot and countval is the counter value in the BTCNT
and BTCR registers. P is the AVR clock period that is set in the PWR_CTL register.
countval = {BTCR[7:6], BTCNT[7:0]}.
There are two interrupts associated with transmit mode:
1. Transmit Buffer Empty Interrupt: This vectors to address 0x04. Flag 0 is set, and,
if enabled, this interrupt is generated when the timer removes the value from the
DATA bit in the BTCR. This interrupt service routine should load the next transmit
bit into the DATA bit in the BTCR.
2. TXDONE Interrupt: This vectors to address 0x02. Flag 2 is set, and, if enabled,
an interrupt is generated when the counter has counted down to zero and the
buffer is empty. This indicates that the transmission is complete. This interrupt
service routine should turn off the transmitter and turn off the bit timer using the
mode bits.
Bit Timer in Receive Mode
When put into receive mode, the bit timer times pulses arriving at the I/O3 pin. When
enabled, the counter counts up from zero and places that value in the BTCNT register
when an edge occurs. If the edge is rising, the DATA bit in the BTCR is set. If the edge
is falling, the DATA bit in the BTCR is reset. This mode may be used to decode signals
from a receiver chip easily.
Bit Timer in Generic
Timer/Counter Mode
The bit timer may be used as a generic timer by not allowing it to key off the transmitter.
An interrupt is generated after the amount of time dictated by the count value.
11
1424F–RKE–12/03
Watchdog Timer
When enabling the watchdog timer, the status of the watchdog time is unknown. The
user is advised to execute a WDR instruction before enabling the watchdog. Otherwise,
the device might get reset before the first WDR after enabling is reached. To prevent the
unintentional disabling of the watchdog, a special turn-off procedure must be followed
when the watchdog is disabled. Refer to the description of the Watchdog Timer Control
Register on page 38 for details (see Register $22 in I/O Memory). The watchdog timer
prescaler determines the number of system clocks that occur before the watchdog reset
is asserted. The system clock is determined by Bits[7:5] of the AVR_CONFIG register.
Reset and Interrupt
Handling
The AT86RF401 Reset and Interrupt vectors are defined in Table 5. The I-bit in the status register must be set to enable the interrupts.

…
The AT86RF401 has several sources of reset:
•
Power-on Reset: The device is reset when the supply voltage is applied between the
VDD and GND pins. There are 106 cycles of delay between Power-on Reset
occurring and the part becoming active. This is to ensure that the power is stable.
•
External Reset: The device is reset when a logic low level is present on the RESETB
pin. This resets all I/O Registers and puts the part into SPI mode. The I/O Registers
may be read and written by the SPI interface after two AVR System Clocks.
•
Watchdog Reset: This is similar to power-on reset but is caused by the watchdog
timer and does not have a 10 6 cycle delay prior to becoming active.
•
Brown-out Reset: This is caused by the battery voltage dropping below the Brownout Threshold voltage trip point.
•
Button Reset (software reset): The part is placed into a special reset state by
software. The part is released from reset when a properly configured button is
activated, and the part is not in external reset or brown-out reset. In the button reset
state, most I/O registers are not reset, and there is no time delay before becoming
active.
AT86RF401
1424F–RKE–12/03
AT86RF401
During power-on reset and watchdog reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values,
and the program starts execution from address $000.
Note:
Interrupt Response Time
The instruction placed in address $000 must be an RJMP (relative jump) instruction or a
JMP (absolute jump) to the reset handling routine. If an RJMP or JMP instruction is not
present at address $000, the part is placed into a “no program” reset state. This is to protect the part from fetching instructions when no program is present.
The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is a minimum of four
clock cycles. After the four clock cycles, the program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the Program
Counter is pushed onto the stack. The vector is a jump to the interrupt routine, and this
jump takes two clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle
instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four
clock cycles, the Program Counter is popped back from the stack. When AVR exits from
an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction
before any pending interrupt is served.
Note:
The Status Register (SREG) is not saved by the AVR hardware. This must be performed
by user software when required.
Memory Programming

The lock bits can only be erased with the Chip Erase operation.
In-system Flash and
EEPROM
The AT86RF401 offers 2 Kbytes (1K x 16) of in-system reprogrammable Flash program
memory and 128 bytes of EEPROM data memory. This memory can be programmed
serially via the SPI interface.
SPI Interface
Both the program and data memory arrays can be programmed using the serial SPI bus
while RESETB is pulled to GND. The serial interface consists of pins SCK, SDI (input)
and SDO (output).
When programming, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed programming operation, and there is no need to first execute the Chip Erase instruction. The Chip Erase
operation sets every memory location in the EEPROM array to $FF.
Either an external system clock is supplied at pin XTAL/CLK or a crystal needs to be
connected across pins XTAL/CLK and XTALB. The minimum low and high periods for
the serial clock (SCK) input are defined as follows:
Low: 4 XTAL Clock Cycles
High: 16 XTAL Clock Cycles
13
1424F–RKE–12/03
Serial Programming
Algorithm
Refer to Figure 4 (page 15), Figure 5 (page 16) and Figure 6 (page 17). To program and
verify the AT86RF401 in the serial programming mode, the following sequence is
recommended.
Power-up Sequence:
1. Apply power between VDD and GND while RESETB and SCK are set to “0”. If a
crystal is not connected across pins XTAL and XTALB, apply a clock signal to the
XTAL pin. If the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during
power-up, RESETB must be given a positive pulse after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20 ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming Enable instruction to pin SDI. This must occur prior to any program/erase
operations.
3. If a chip erase is performed, wait 4 ms, give RESETB a positive pulse and start
over again from Step 2.
4. The array is programmed one byte at a time by supplying the address and data
together with the appropriate Write instruction. The memory location is first automatically erased before new data is written. The next byte can be written after
4 ms.
5. Any memory location can be verified by using the Read instruction, which
returns the content at the selected address at serial output SDO.
6. At the end of the programming session, RESETB must be set high to commence
normal operation.
Signature Bytes

All Atmel microcontrollers have a three-byte signature code that identifies the device.
For the AT86RF401, the signature bytes are:
•
0x000: 0x1E (indicates manufactured by Atmel)
•
0x001: 0x91 (indicates 2 Kbytes Flash program memory)
•
0x002: 0x81 (indicates AT86RF401 when 0x001 is 0x91)

AVR Core
Architectural Overview
The fast-access register file concept contains 32 x 8-bit general-purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This means that during one single clock cycle,
one Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation is executed. Two operands are output from
the register file, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the register
file in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for
Data Space addressing, enabling efficient address calculations. One of the three
address pointers is also used as the address pointer for look-up tables in Flash program
memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-register, Y-register and Zregister.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations are also executed in the ALU. Figure 6
shows the AT86RF401 AVR architecture.
In addition to the register operation, the conventional memory addressing modes can be
used on the register file as well. This is enabled by the fact that the register file is
assigned the 32 lowest data space addresses ($00–$1F), allowing them to be accessed
as though they were ordinary memory locations.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control
Registers, Timer/Counters, A/D converters and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can
be accessed directly or as the Data Space locations following those of the register file,
$20–$5F.

The AVR uses a Harvard architecture concept, with separate memories and buses for
program and data. The program memory is executed with a two-stage pipeline. While
one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is prefetched from the program
memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is in-system, reprogrammable Flash memory.
With the jump and call instructions, the whole 1K word address space is directly
accessed. 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 7-bit stack pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O
space.
The 128-byte data SRAM can be easily accessed through the five different addressing
modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
17
1424F–RKE–12/03
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 at the beginning of the program memory. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their interrupt vector position; the lower the
interrupt vector address, the higher the priority.

All the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single cycle
access to all registers. The only exception is the five constant arithmetic and logic
instructions (SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI and ORI) between a constant and a register, and
the LDI instruction for load immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the
second half of the registers in the register file, R16...R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP,
AND and OR and all other operations between two registers or on a single register apply
to the entire register file.
As shown in Figure 9, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping
the registers 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 registers can be set to index any
register in the file.
19
1424F–RKE–12/03
The registers R26...R31 have some added functions to their general-purpose usage.
These registers are address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The
three indirect address registers X, Y and Z are defined as shown in Figure 9.

In the different addressing modes, these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment and decrement (see the descriptions for the different
instructions).
Arithmetic Logic Unit
(ALU)
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 generalpurpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, ALU operations between registers in the register file are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main
categories: arithmetic, logical and bit-functions. The multiplier is not present in this version of the core. Therefore, the MUL instruction is not supported.
In-system Selfprogrammable Flash
Program Memory
The AT86RF401 contains 2 Kbytes of on-chip Flash memory for program storage. Since
all instructions are 16- or 32-bit words, the Flash is organized as 1K x 16.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 1000 write/erase cycles. The PC is 10
bits wide, thus addressing the 1024 program memory locations. See the Memory Programming section (page 13) for a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see
Table 22, Instruction Set, page 45).

The lower 224 Data Memory locations address the Register File, the I/O Memory and
the internal data SRAM. The first 96 locations address the Register File + I/O Memory,
and the next 128 locations address the internal data SRAM.
The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Displacement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement, and Indirect with Post-increment. In
the register file, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.
The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.
The Indirect with Displacement mode features a 63 address locations reach from the
base address given by the Y or Z register.
When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and postincrement, the address registers X, Y and Z are decremented and incremented.
The 32 general-purpose working registers, 64 I/O registers and the 128 bytes of internal
data SRAM in the AT86RF401 are all accessible through all these addressing modes.
Program and Data

The AT86RF401 AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller supports powerful and efficient
addressing modes for access to the program memory (Flash) and data memory (SRAM,
Register File and I/O Memory). This section describes the different addressing modes
supported by the AVR architecture. In the figures, OP means the operation code part of
the instruction word. To simplify, not all figures show the exact location of the addressing bits.

EEPROM Data Memory
The AT86RF401 contains 128 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is organized as a separate data space in which single bytes can be read and written. The access between the
EEPROM and the CPU is described in the Memory Programming section (page 13).
Memory Access Times
and Instruction
Execution Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution and
internal memory access.
The AVR CPU is driven by the System Clock Ø generated from the main oscillator for
the chip. A programmable clock divider generates this clock from the crystal oscillator
input.
Figure 22 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by
the Harvard architecture and the fast-access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for
functions per cost, functions per clocks and functions per power unit.

All I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. The I/O locations are accessed by
the IN and OUT instructions, transferring data between the 32 general-purpose working
registers and the I/O space. I/O registers within the address range $00–$1F 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 Table 10,
“Instruction Set Manual,” on page 44 for more details. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses $00–$3F must be used. When addressing I/O
registers as SRAM, $20 must be added to these addresses.
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to “0” if accessed.
Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written.
Some of the status flags are cleared by writing a logical “1” to them. Note that the CBI
and SBI instructions will operate on all bits in the I/O register, writing a “1” back into any
flag read as set, thus clearing the flag. The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers
$00 to $1F only.
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in the following sections.

This register is used to select the power attenuation level. The total power attenuation is
the sum of the coarse attenuation and fine attenuation. As an example, to obtain 15 dB
of attenuation, the coarse setting of 12 dB and fine setting of 3 dB would be selected. To
obtain 12 dB coarse attenuation, Bits[5:3] would be set to [010]. To obtain 3 dB of fine
attentuation would require Bits[2:0] to be set to [011].

• Bits[4:0]: VCO Tuning Capacitor Array
This device requires the use of an external inductor to tune the VCO. Tolerance of the
inductor, coupled with process variation of the device, can lead to variations in the tuning point of the VCO. A switched array of tuning capacitors has been added internally to
the device in order to “fine tune” the VCO. This capacitance is switched across pins 3
and 4 (L1 and L2) of the device. The capacitor array is set by VCOTUNE[4:0] and is
comprised of the following switched capacitance levels:

• Bits[7:6]: VCO Voltage Detector
The VCO Voltage Detector circuit monitors the level of the VCO control voltage. This circuit, along with the VCO Switch Caps and the Lock Detect circuit, is intended for use
with a software algorithm to tune the VCO such that the VCO control voltage is centered
approximately at 1.1V.
The Voltage Detector circuit consists of two comparators with fixed reference voltages
of V1 (lower reference voltage) and V2 (upper reference voltage). The VCO Control
Voltage is compared to these two reference voltages and generates the state table
listed in Table 13. The state of these comparators is output to Bits 7 and 6 (Vcodet[1:0])
of the VCOTUNE register.

• Bit[7]: EUD
A “1” enables the unlock detect logic.
• Bit[6]: LAT (Lock Always True)
Forces the lockdetect signal to “1” at the output of the lock detect circuitry. This may be
useful if the lock detect signal is not going high for some reason, and a power amp interlock has been implemented, and the user wishes to enable the power amp output stage.

• Bit[5:3]: ULC[2:0]
The unlock count (ULC) bits count a certain number of reference clocks, after which the
unlock detect circuit looks for a number of cycle slips determined by CS[1:0] before
making the loc detect signal go low. The ULC bits essentially control the blackout period
of the unlock detect circuit. The unlock counter is reset by the KEY signal rising (if
ENKO is asserted), or by the LOC rising edge, or by the UPOK signal being set high.

cause lock detect to go high. This counter will reset if a cycle slip or a reset signal occurs
(which happens if TXE goes low), if an out-of-lock condition occurs, if the crystal oscillator frequency is too low, or if the VCO feedback frequency is too low.

unpredictable.
• Bit[3]: EEPROM Busy Bit
Initially set to “0”. This bit will be set high during writes to the EEPROM.
• Bit[2]: EEPROM Unlock Bit
Set this bit to “1” before writing the EEPROM. Reset this bit to “0” after the write is complete. This bit should be left in the zero state when the EEPROM is not being used,
which will protect the EEPROM data during power transients.
• Bit[1]: EEPROM Load Bit
To write the EEPROM, use the following procedure:
Note:
Because of noise and power considerations, the EEPROM should not be written while
the transmitter is enabled.
1. Set the unlock bit.
2. Write the address of the first byte to the DEEAR.
3. Set the load bit. This locks the page address in the DEEAR. Keep the unlock bit
set.
4. Write the desired data to the DEEDR register. This byte is loaded into the
EEPROM and will be written when the load bit is later deasserted.
5. If it is desired to write another byte in the same page, write the new address to
the DEEAR register, and a new byte to the DEEDR register. Continue until all
bytes that are to be written are loaded into the EEPROM. Bytes may only be
loaded to an address once. There are eight bytes per page.
6. Deassert the load bit. This starts the write operation. Some time after load is
deasserted, the busy bit will go high. Another read or write operation may not be
started until the busy bit has returned to “0”. Writes take approximately 4 ms to
complete. Again, the unlock bit must still be set when deasserting the load bit.
7. After all writes are complete, write “0” to the unlock bit.
• Bit[0]: EEPROM Read Bit
To read the EEPROM use the following procedure:
1. Write the address to the DEEAR.
2. Set the read bit.
3. Read the data register. The read bit will reset itself.
4. If another read needs to be done, repeat steps 1–3 again.

Lowest 8 bits of countval. When combined with bits [7:6] of the BTCR register, countval
determines a counter value that sets the width of a mark or a space that is sent to the
transmitter. The width of the mark or space is:
PXX = PAVR * (countval +1)
where PXX is the period of the mark or space, and PAVR is the period of the AVR clock
that is determined by the ACS bits of the AVR configuration register, AVR_CONFIG.

• Bit[3]: Interrupts Enabled
If this bit is set, the Flag2 and Flag0 will generate their respective interrupts when they
are set. Flag0 interrupt vector is located at 0 x 04. Flag2 interrupt vector is located at
0 x 02. Typically, a JMP instruction resides at these vector locations to pass control to
an interrupt handler. For Flag0 only, slightly faster execution can be achieved if the JMP
instruction is eliminated, and the interrupt service routine is located beginning at 0 x 04.

1424F–RKE–12/03
• Bit[2]: Flag2
In transmit mode, this flag indicates the Transmit Done condition that occurs when the
buffer is empty and the counter has counted down to “0”. In receive mode, this flag indicates that an edge has occurred, and the AVR should process the count value in the
BTCR and BTCNT registers. This bit is cleared upon read, e.g., IN R16, BTCR.

• Bit[1]: Data Bit
In transmit mode, this is a one-bit buffer that the AVR writes data to and the bit timer
extracts data from. When the bit timer removes the value from this register, the Flag0 bit
is set, and if enabled, an interrupt (INT2) is generated. If the interrupt is used, the ISR
should load a new bit into the buffer. If the interrupt is not enabled, then a polling method
should be used to detect Flag0 being set. Because of overhead associated with interrupt
handling, it may be slightly faster to use polling.
In receive mode, the value in this register indicates whether the edge at the IO3 pin was
rising or falling. A “1” indicates a rising edge occurred, and a “0” indicates that a falling
edge was detected. The number of AVR clock cycles since the last edge is held in the
C[9:0] (countval) bits (that is, unless an overflow condition has occurred).
• Bit[0]: Flag0
In transmit mode, this flag indicates the buffer is empty and the AVR should load new
data into it. In receive mode, this indicates a counter overflow condition has occurred.
The AVR should increment its software counter if this condition has occurred. This bit is
cleared upon read, e.g., IN R16, BTCR.

When the WDE is set (“1”), the Watchdog Timer is enabled, and if the WDE is cleared
(“0”), the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared if the WDTOE
bit is set (“1”). To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following procedure must be
followed: In the same operation, write a logical “1” to WDTOE and WDE. A logical “1”
must be written to WDE even though it is set to “1” before the disable operation starts.
Within the next four clock cycles, write a logical “0” to WDE. This disables the watchdog.
• Bits[2:0]: WDP2, WDP1, WDP0, Watchdog Timer Prescaler 2, 1 and 0
The WDP2, WDP1 and WDP0 bits determine the Watchdog Timer prescaling when the

• Bit[3]: Battery Dead
Indicates battery is dead. Only readable by SPI interface.
• Bit[2]: Battery Low Indicator
This bit is identical to Bit[7] of Battery Low Configuration Register ($35). When Bit[6] of
Battery Low Configuration Register ($35) is set (Battery Low Valid), a set bit in this location indicates that the battery voltage is lower than the voltage level that is determined
by Bits[5:0] of Battery Low Configuration Register ($35).
• Bit [1]: Sleep Bit
When set, this bit stops the crystal oscillator. This stops the AVR processor with the program counter frozen at the current instruction. Sleep will also stop the Watchdog Timer.
The Watchdog Timer is only restarted if the part wakes up. If an I/O pin is configured as
a button, a button press will start the oscillator and check the battery level. If the battery
level is greater than the Battery Dead level, the AVR system clock is started and normal
program execution continues. If the battery level is below the Battery Dead level, the
crystal oscillator is turned off, putting the part back to sleep until a button is pressed
again (care should be taken not to put the part to sleep unless a button is configured and
enabled).
• Bit[0]: Button Boot Mode (BBM)
If the BBM bit is set and the part is brought out of sleep mode by a button input activation, the part will enter the button reset state. In this state, the part will reboot and begin

• Bit[7]: Battery Low
When Bit[6] in this register is set (Battery Low Valid), the BL (Battery Low) bit indicates
that the battery voltage is lower than the voltage level that is determined by Bit[5:0] of
this register. It is important that the programmer also check Bit[6] (Battery Low Valid) to
be certain that this condition is valid.
• Bit[6]: Battery Low Valid
When the Battery Low Configuration Register is written, this bit is set to “0”. When the
battery voltage has been sampled and compared to the voltage determined by the BLx
bits, this bit is set to “1” indicating that the data in Bit[7] (Battery Low) is valid. This can
take up to 3100 XTAL cycles to complete.
Note:
The programmer should ensure that this bit is cleared prior to making a determination of
the Battery Low status. This can be done by reloading Bit[5] or directly clearing Bit[6].
Generally, the programmer loads Bit[5], loops until Bit[6] is set, and then checks Bit[3] to
determine the status of the battery.
• Bit[5:0]: Battery Low Detection Level
This value is sent to the battery monitor. The threshold is calculated using the formulas
shown in Table 21 on page 43.

This threshold can be set below the brown-out voltage level.

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

• Bit[7] – I: Global Interrupt Enable
The global interrupt enable bit must be set (“1”) for the interrupts to be enabled. The
individual interrupt enable control is then performed in the interrupt mask registers
(GIMSK/TIMSK). If the global interrupt enable register is cleared (“0”), none of the interrupts are enabled, independent of the GIMSK/TIMSK values. The I-bit is cleared by
hardware after an interrupt has occurred and is set by the RETI instruction to enable
subsequent interrupts.
• Bit[6] – T: Bit Copy Storage
The bit copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as source
and destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the register file can be copied
into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the
register file by the BLD instruction.
• Bit[5] – H: Half Carry Flag
The half carry flag H indicates a half carry in some arithmetic operations. See Figure 10
on page 21 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 Table 22 for detailed information.
• Bit[3] – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The two’s complement overflow flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See
Table 22 below for detailed information.
• Bit[2] – N: Negative Flag
The negative flag N indicates a negative result after the different arithmetic and logic
operations. See Table 22 below for detailed information.
• Bit[1] – Z: Zero Flag
The zero flag Z indicates a zero result after the different arithmetic and logic operations.
See Table 22 below for detailed information.
• Bit[0] – C: Carry Flag
The carry flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See Table 22 for
detailed information.
