Preventing Flash Corruption

Register Description
SPMCSR – Store Program Memory Control and Status Register
During periods of low V
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):
The calibrated RC Oscillator is used to time Flash accesses.
gramming time for Flash accesses from the CPU.

Note:
The Store Program Memory Control and Status Register contains the control bits needed to con-
trol the Program memory operations.
• Bits 7..6 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in ATtiny24/44/84 and always read as zero.
• Bit 5 – RSIG: Read Device Signature Imprint Table
Issuing an LPM instruction within three cycles after RSIG and SPMEN bits have been set in
SPMCSR will return the selected data (depending on Z-pointer value) from the device signature

1. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage.
2. Keep the AVR core in Power-down sleep mode during periods of low V
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 V
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.

the SPMCSR Register and thus the Flash from unintentional writes.
