Register Description
12.5.1 Moving Interrupts Between Application and Boot Space, ATmega88A/88PA, ATmega168A/168PA and 
ATmega328/328P
The MCU Control Register controls the placement of the Interrupt Vector table.
MCUCR – MCU Control Register
Note:
1. BODS and BODSE only available for picoPower devices ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA/328P
• Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the Flash memory. When 
this bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the beginning of the Boot Loader section of the Flash. 
The actual address of the start of the Boot Flash Section is determined by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the 
section 
 for details. To avoid 
unintentional changes of Interrupt Vector tables, a special write procedure must be followed to change the 
IVSEL bit:
a. Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one.
1. Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE. 
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled in the cycle 
IVCE is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to IVSEL. If IVSEL is not 
written, interrupts remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the Status Register is unaffected by the automatic 
disabling.
Note:
If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is programmed, interrupts are 
disabled while executing from the Application section. If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Application section and 
Boot Lock bit BLB12 is programed, interrupts are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to 
the section 
 for details on Boot Lock bits.
• Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by hardware four 
cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable interrupts, as explained in the 
IVSEL description above. See Code Example below.
