6.4 EEPROM Data Memory

6.4.1

The ATmega164P/324P/644P contains 512B/1K/2K bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is orga-

nized 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. 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.

For a detailed description of SPI, JTAG and Parallel data downloading to the EEPROM, see

page 311, page 315, and page 300 respectively.

EEPROM Read/Write Access

6.4.2

The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space. See “Register Description” on

page 23 for details.

The write access time for the EEPROM is given in Table 6-2 on page 25. A self-timing function,

however, lets the user software detect when the next byte can be written. If the user code con-

tains 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 “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 the description of the EEPROM Control Register 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.

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. Sec-

ondly, 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 com-

pleted provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.
