Preventing EEPROM Corruption
The next code examples show assembly and C functions for reading the EEPROM. The
examples assume that interrupts are controlled so that no interrupts will occur during execu-
tion of these functions.
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 cor-
rectly. 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
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.
Assembly Code Example
C Code Example
EEPROM_read:
unsigned char EEPROM_read(unsigned char ucAddress)

; Wait for completion of previous write

rjmp
; Set up address (r18:r17) in address register

; Start eeprom read by writing EERE

/* Wait for completion of previous write */
while(EECR & (1<<EEPE))
/* Set up address register */
EEAR = ucAddress;
/* Start eeprom read by writing EERE */
EECR |= (1<<EERE);
/* Return data from data register */
