• Bit 0 – EERE: EEPROM Read Enable
The EEPROM Read Enable Signal – EERE – is the read strobe to the EEPROM. When
the correct address is set up in the EEAR Register, the EERE bit must be set. When the
EERE bit is cleared (zero) by hardware, requested data is found in the EEDR Register.
The EEPROM read access takes one instruction and there is no need to poll the EERE
bit. When EERE has been set, the CPU is halted for four cycles before the next instruc-
tion is executed.
The user should poll the EEWE bit before starting the read operation. If a write operation
is in progress when new data or address is written to the EEPROM I/O Registers, the
write operation will be interrupted, and the result is undefined.
Table 1. EEPROM Programming Time
Note:
When entering Power-down sleep mode while an EEPROM write operation is active, the
EEPROM write operation will continue, and will complete before the write access time
has passed. However, when the write operation is completed, the crystal Oscillator con-
tinues running, and as a consequence, the device does not enter Power-down entirely.
It is therefore recommended to verify that the EEPROM write operation is completed
before entering Power-down.
During periods of low V
age is too low for the CPU and the EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the
same as for board level systems using the 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. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly, if the
supply voltage for executing instructions is too low.
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommen-
dations (one is sufficient):
1. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply
2. Keep the AVR core in Power-down Sleep mode during periods of low V
Store constants in Flash memory if the ability to change memory contents from software
is not required. Flash memory can not be updated by the CPU, and will not be subject to
corruption.

the operating voltage matches the detection level. If not, an external Brown-out
Reset Protection circuit can be applied.

tively protecting the EEPROM Registers from unintentional writes.
