ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA
Description
1.
Description
®
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 a 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 ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA provides the following features: 4K/8K/16Kbytes of in-system
programmable Flash with read-while-write capabilities, 256/512/512bytes EEPROM, 512/1K/1Kbytes
SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, Real Time Counter (RTC),
three flexible timer/counters with Compare modes and PWM, 1 serial programmable USARTs , 1 byteoriented 2-wire Serial Interface (I2C), a 6-channel 10-bit ADC (8 channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF
packages), a programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, an SPI serial port, and six software
selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counters,
SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-Down mode saves the register
contents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware
Reset. In Power-Save mode, the asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a
timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and
all I/O modules except asynchronous timer and ADC to minimize switching noise during ADC
conversions. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator oscillator is running while the rest of the device is
sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low-power consumption. In Extended Standby
mode, both the main oscillator and the asynchronous timer continue to run.
®
Microchip offers the QTouch library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels
functionality into AVR microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers robust
sensing and includes fully debounced reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key Suppression™
(AKS™) technology for unambiguous detection of key events. The easy-to-use QTouch Suite toolchain
allows you to explore, develop and debug your own touch applications.
The device is manufactured using Microchip’s high density nonvolatile memory technology. The on-chip
ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial interface, by
a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer, or by an on-chip boot program running on the AVR core.
The boot program can use any interface to download the application program in the application Flash
memory. Software in the boot Flash section will continue to run while the application Flash section is
updated, providing true read-while-write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with in-system selfprogrammable Flash on a monolithic chip, the ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA is a powerful microcontroller
that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA 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.

ATmega88PA and ATmega168PA support a real read-while-write self-programming mechanism. There is
a separate boot loader section, and the SPM instruction can only execute from there. In ATmega48PA,

5.2.3
Port B (PB[7:0]) XTAL1/XTAL2/TOSC1/TOSC2
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each pin). The Port B
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port
B pins are tri-stated during a Reset condition even if the clock is not running.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as input to the inverting oscillator
amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be used as output from the inverting oscillator
amplifier.
If the internal calibrated RC oscillator is used as chip clock source, PB[7:6] is used as TOSC[2:1] input for
the asynchronous timer/counter2 if the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.
5.2.4
Port C (PC[5:0])
Port C is a 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each pin). The PC[5:0]
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port
C pins are tri-stated during a Reset condition even if the clock is not running.
5.2.5
PC6/RESET
If the RSTDISBL fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin. Note that the electrical characteristics of
PC6 differ from those of the other pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL fuse is unprogrammed, PC6 is used as a Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer
than the minimum pulse length will generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are
not guaranteed to generate a Reset.
The various special features of Port C are elaborated in the Alternate Functions of Port C section.
5.2.6
Port D (PD[7:0])
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each pin). The Port D
output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs,
Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port
D pins are tri-stated during a Reset condition even if the clock is not running.
5.2.7
AVCC
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter (ADC), PC[3:0], and PE[3:2]. It should be externally
connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC through
a low-pass filter. Note that PC[6:4] use digital supply voltage, VCC.
5.2.8
AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.

I/O Multiplexing
Each pin is by default controlled by the PORT as a general purpose I/O and alternatively it can be
assigned to one of the peripheral functions.

About Code Examples
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various parts of the
device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is included before compilation. Be
aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit definitions in the header files and interrupt handling in C
is compiler dependent. Confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.
For I/O registers located in extended I/O map, IN, OUT, SBIS, SBIC, CBI, and SBI instructions must be
replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically LDS and STS combined with SBRS,
SBRC, SBR, and CBR.

Capacitive Touch Sensing
QTouch Library
®
®
The QTouch library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on most AVR
™
microcontrollers. The QTouch library includes support for the QTouch and QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate QTouch library for the AVR
microcontroller. This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors, and
then calling the touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information and determine the touch sensor
states.
The QTouch library is FREE and downloadable from QTouch Library . For implementation details and
other information, refer to the QTouch Library User Guide, also available for download from the Microchip
website.

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.

ALU
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 single-cycle 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 these address pointers can be used as an

address pointer for lookup 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.
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.
Program Flash memory space is divided into two sections, the Boot Program section and the Application
Program section. Both sections have dedicated Lock bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM
instruction that writes into the Application Flash memory section must reside in the Boot Program section.
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 Stack
Pointer (SP) in the Reset routine (before subroutines or interrupts are executed). The 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. In addition, this device has extended I/O space from 0x60 - 0xFF in
SRAM where only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.
11.2
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
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 provide a
powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See Instruction
Set Summary section for a detailed description.

11.3
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. 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.

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 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 flag is useful in BCD
arithmetic. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.
Bit 4 – S Sign Flag, S = N ㊉ 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 arithmetic. 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

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 the figure, 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.
11.4.1
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 the figure.

Stack Pointer
The stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, local variables, and return addresses after interrupts
and subroutine calls. The stack is implemented as growing from higher to lower memory locations. The
Stack Pointer register always points to the top of the stack.
The stack pointer points to the data SRAM stack area where the subroutine and interrupt stacks are
located. A stack PUSH command will decrease the stack pointer. The stack in the data SRAM must be
defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. Initial stack
pointer value equals the last address of the internal SRAM and the stack pointer must be set to point
above start of the SRAM. See the table for stack pointer details.

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. The figure below 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.

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. Depending on the program counter value, interrupts may
be automatically disabled when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12 are programmed. This feature improves
software security.
The lowest addresses in the program memory space are by default defined as the Reset and interrupt
vectors. They have determined priority levels: The lower the address the higher is the priority level.
RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0. The interrupt vectors
can be moved to the start of the boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL bit in the MCU Control Register
(MCUCR). The Reset vector can be moved to the start of the boot Flash section by programming the
BOOTRST Fuse.
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 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.
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 after the CLI instruction, even if it occurs simultaneously with the CLI
instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the timed
EEPROM write sequence.
Assembly Code Example(1)
in r16, SREG ; store SREG value
cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence
sbi EECR, EEMPE ; start EEPROM write
sbi EECR, EEPE
out SREG, r16 ; restore SREG value (I-bit)

char cSREG;
cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */
/* disable interrupts during timed sequence */
_CLI();
