During periods of low V

CC

, the Flash program can be corrupted because the supply voltage is too low for the 

CPU and the Flash to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using the Flash, 
and the same design solutions should be applied. 

A Flash program corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low. First, a regular write 
sequence to the Flash 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.

Flash 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 the internal Brown-out Detector (BOD) if the operating voltage matches the detection level. If 
not, an external low V

CC

 reset protection circuit can be used. If a reset occurs while a write operation is in 

progress, the write operation will be completed provided that the power supply voltage is sufficient.

2.

Keep the AVR core in Power-down sleep mode during periods of low V

CC

. This will prevent the CPU from 

attempting to decode and execute instructions, effectively protecting the SPMCSR Register and thus the 
Flash from unintentional writes.

The calibrated RC Oscillator is used to time Flash accesses. 

 shows the typical programming time for 

Flash accesses from the CPU.

Note:

1.

Minimum and maximum programming time is per individual operation.
