3Updated TWI Chapter
More details regarding use of the TWI bit rate prescaler and a Table 65, “TWI Bit Rate Prescaler,” on page 170.
1Updated Typical Start-up Times.
The following tables has been updated:
Table 5, “Start-up Times for the Crystal Oscillator Clock Selection,” on page 26, Table 6, “Start-up Times for the Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator Clock Selection,” on page 26, Table 8, “Start-up Times for the External RC Oscillator Clock Selection,” on page 27, and Table 12, “Start-up Times for the External Clock Selection,” on page 30.
2Added “ATmega8 Typical Characteristics” on page 246.
1Updated TWI Chapter.
More details regarding use of the TWI Power-down operation and using the TWI as Master with low TWBRR values are added into the datasheet.
Added the note at the end of the “Bit Rate Generator Unit” on page 167. Added the description at the end of “Address Match Unit” on page 167.
2Updated Description of OSCCAL Calibration Byte.
In the datasheet, it was not explained how to take advantage of the calibration bytes for 2, 4, and 8 MHz Oscillator selections. This is now added in the following sections:
Improved description of “Oscillator Calibration Register – OSCCAL” on page 29 and “Calibration Byte” on page 222.
3Added Some Preliminary Test Limits and Characterization Data.
Removed some of the TBD’s in the following tables and pages:
Table 3 on page 24, Table 15 on page 36, Table 16 on page 40, Table 17 on page 42, “TA = -40×C to 85×C, VCC = 2.7V to 5.5V (unless otherwise noted)” on page 239, Table 99 on page 241, and Table 102 on page 243.
4Updated Programming Figures.
Figure 104 on page 223 and Figure 112 on page 234 are updated to also reflect that AVCC must be connected during Programming mode.
5Added a Description on how to Enter Parallel Programming Mode if RESET Pin is Disabled or if External Oscillators are Selected.
Added a note in section “Enter Programming Mode” on page 225.
