27.8.3 Chip Erase
The Chip Erase will erase the Flash and EEPROM
(1)
memories plus Lock bits. The Lock bits are
not reset until the Program memory has been completely erased. The Fuse bits are not
changed. A Chip Erase must be performed before the Flash and/or EEPROM are re-
programmed.
Note: 1. The EEPROM memory is preserved during Chip Erase if the EESAVE Fuse is programmed.
1. Load command “Chip Erase” (see Table 27-14).
2. Wait after Instr.3 until SDO goes high for the “Chip Erase” cycle to finish.
3. Load Command “No Operation”.
27.8.4 Programming the Flash
The Flash is organized in pages, see Table 27-10 on page 154. When programming the Flash,
the program data is latched into a page buffer. This allows one page of program data to be pro-
grammed simultaneously. The following procedure describes how to program the entire Flash
memory:
1. Load Command “Write Flash” (see Table 27-14).
2. Load Flash Page Buffer.
3. Load Flash High Address and Program Page. Wait after Instr. 3 until SDO goes high for
the “Page Programming” cycle to finish.
4. Repeat 2 through 3 until the entire Flash is programmed or until all data has been
programmed.
5. End Page Programming by Loading Command “No Operation”.
When writing or reading serial data to the ATmega8HVA/16HVA, data is clocked on the rising
edge of the serial clock, see Figure 27-5, Figure 29-4 and ”High-voltage Serial Programming” on
page 173 for details.
