ATmega8515(L)
2512K–AVR–01/10
Notes:
1. The default value of SUT1..0 results in maximum start-up time. See
Table 13 on page2. The default setting of CKSEL3..0 results in internal RC Oscillator @ 1 MHz. See
The status of the Fuse bits is not affected by Chip Erase. Note that the Fuse bits are
locked if Lock bit1 (LB1) is programmed. Program the Fuse bits before programming the
Lock bits.
Latching of Fuses
The fuse values are latched when the device enters Programming mode and changes of
the fuse values will have no effect until the part leaves Programming mode. This does
not apply to the EESAVE Fuse which will take effect once it is programmed. The fuses
are also latched on Power-up in Normal mode.
Signature Bytes
All Atmel microcontrollers have a 3-byte signature code which identifies the device. This
code can be read in both Serial and Parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The
three bytes reside in a separate address space.
For the ATmega8515 the signature bytes are:
1.
$000: $1E (indicates manufactured by Atmel).
2.
$001: $93 (indicates 8KB Flash memory).
3.
$002: $06 (indicates ATmega8515 device when $001 is $93).
Calibration Byte
The ATmega8515 stores four different calibration values for the internal RC Oscillator.
These bytes resides in the signature row high byte of the addresses 0x000, 0x0001,
0x0002, and 0x0003 for 1, 2, 4, and 8 MHz respectively. During Reset, the 1 MHz value
is automatically loaded into the OSCCAL Register. If other frequencies are used, the
