Notes: 1. Z0: should be zero for all SPM commands, byte select for the (E)LPM instruction.
2. See “Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming” on page 328 for details about
the use of Z-pointer during Self-Programming.
3. The Z-register is only 16 bits wide. Bit 16 is located in the RAMPZ register in the I/O
map.

Description
(1)
PCMSB 16 Most significant bit in the Program Counter.
(The Program Counter is 17 bits PC[16:0])
PAGEMSB 6 Most significant bit which is used to address the
words within one page (128 words in a page
requires seven bits PC [6:0]).
ZPCMSB Z17:Z16
(3)
Bit in Z-pointer that is mapped to PCMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPCMSB equals
PCMSB + 1.
ZPAGEMSB Z7 Bit in Z-pointer that is mapped to PCMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPAGEMSB
equals PAGEMSB + 1.
PCPAGE PC[16:7] Z17
(3)
:Z8 Program Counter page address: Page select,
for Page Erase and Page Write
PCWORD PC[6:0] Z7:Z1 Program Counter word address: Word select,
for filling temporary buffer (must be zero during
Page Write operation)
