EEPROM Write During Power-
down Sleep Mode
Preventing EEPROM
Corruption
2514H–AVR–05/03
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
execution of these functions.
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 Oscillator continues
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 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 is too low.
