The EEPROM Write Enable Signal EEWE is the write strobe to the EEPROM. When address and data are correctly set up,
the EEWE bit must be set to write the value into the EEPROM. The EEMWE bit must be set when the logical one is written
to EEWE, otherwise no EEPROM write takes place. The following procedure should be followed when writing the
EEPROM (the order of steps 2 and 3 is unessential):
1. Wait until EEWE becomes zero.
2. Write new EEPROM address to EEAR (optional).
3. Write new EEPROM data to EEDR (optional).
4. Write a logical one to the EEMWE bit in EECR.
5. Within four clock cycles after setting EEMWE, write a logical one to EEWE.
Caution: An interrupt between step 4 and step 5 will make the write cycle fail, since the EEPROM Master Write Enable will
time-out. If an interrupt routine accessing the EEPROM is interrupting another EEPROM access, the EEAR and EEDR reg-
ister will be modified, causing the interrupted EEPROM access to fail. It is recommended to have the global interrupt flag
cleared during the 4 last steps to avoid these problems.
When the write access time (typically 2.5 ms at V
(zero) by hardware. The user software can poll this bit and wait for a zero before writing the next byte. When EEWE has
been set, the CPU is halted for two cycles before the next instruction is executed.
•
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 instruction 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.
Prevent EEPROM Corruption
During periods of low V
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 incor-
rectly, if the supply voltage for executing instructions is too low.
EEPROM data corruption can easily be avoided by following these design recommendations (one is sufficient):
1. Keep the AVR RESET active (low) during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by enabling
2. Keep the AVR core in Power Down Sleep Mode during periods of low V
3. Store constants in Flash memory if the ability to change memory contents from software is not required. Flash
