XTAL1 pin.

When programming the EEPROM, an auto-erase cycle is built into the self-timed programming
operation (in the Serial mode ONLY) and there is no need to first execute the Chip Erase
instruction. The Chip Erase operation turns the content of every memory location in both the
Program and EEPROM arrays into 0xFF.
Depending on CKSEL Fuses, a valid clock must be present. The minimum low and high periods
for the serial clock (SCK) input are defined as follows:
Low: > 2 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
< 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
>= 12MHz
High: > 2 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
< 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f

>= 12MHz
28.8.2 Serial Programming Algorithm
When writing serial data to the
ATmega169A/169PA/329A/329PA/3290A/3290PA/649A/649P/6490A/6490P, data is clocked on
the rising edge of SCK.
When reading data from the
ATmega169A/169PA/329A/329PA/3290A/3290PA/649A/649P/6490A/6490P, data is clocked on
the falling edge of SCK. See Figure 28-11 for timing details.
To program and verify the
ATmega169A/169PA/329A/329PA/3290A/3290PA/649A/649P/6490A/6490P in the serial pro-
gramming mode, the following sequence is recommended (See four byte instruction formats in
Table 28-16):
1. Power-up sequence:
Apply power between V
CC
and GND while RESET and SCK are set to “0”. In some sys-
tems, the programmer can not guarantee that SCK is held low during power-up. In this
case, RESET
must be given a positive pulse of at least two CPU clock cycles duration
after SCK has been set to “0”.
2. Wait for at least 20ms and enable serial programming by sending the Programming
Enable serial instruction to pin MOSI.
3. The serial programming instructions will not work if the communication is out of synchro-
nization. When in sync. the second byte (0x53), will echo back when issuing the third
byte of the Programming Enable instruction. Whether the echo is correct or not, all four
