34. Errata
34.1 ATmega32A, rev. J to rev. K
First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
IDCODE masks data from TDI input
Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt request.
1. First Analog Comparator conversion may be delayed
If the device is powered by a slow rising V
CC
, the first Analog Comparator conversion will take longer than
expected on some devices.
Problem Fix/Workaround
When the device has been powered or reset, disable then enable the Analog Comparator before the first
conversion.
2. Interrupts may be lost when writing the timer registers in the asynchronous timer
The interrupt will be lost if a timer register that is synchronous timer clock is written when the asynchronous
Timer/Counter register (TCNTx) is 0x00.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Always check that the asynchronous Timer/Counter register neither have the value 0xFF nor 0x00 before writ-
ing to the asynchronous Timer Control Register (TCCRx), asynchronous Timer Counter Register (TCNTx), or
asynchronous Output Compare Register (OCRx).
3. IDCODE masks data from TDI input
The JTAG instruction IDCODE is not working correctly. Data to succeeding devices are replaced by all-ones
during Update-DR.
Problem Fix / Workaround
If ATmega32A is the only device in the scan chain, the problem is not visible.
Select the Device ID Register of the ATmega32A by issuing the IDCODE instruction or by entering the
Test-Logic-Reset state of the TAP controller to read out the contents of its Device ID Register and
possibly data from succeeding devices of the scan chain. Issue the BYPASS instruction to the
ATmega32A while reading the Device ID Registers of preceding devices of the boundary scan chain.
If the Device IDs of all devices in the boundary scan chain must be captured simultaneously, the
ATmega32A must be the fist device in the chain.
4. Reading EEPROM by using ST or STS to set EERE bit triggers unexpected interrupt request.
Reading EEPROM by using the ST or STS command to set the EERE bit in the EECR register triggers an
unexpected EEPROM interrupt request.
Problem Fix / Workaround
Always use OUT or SBI to set EERE in EECR.
