8. AVR Memories
8.1 Overview
This section describes the different memories in the ATmega32A. The AVR architecture has two main memory
spaces, the Data Memory and the Program Memory space. In addition, the ATmega32A features an EEPROM
Memory for data storage. All three memory spaces are linear and regular.
8.2 In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory
The ATmega32A contains 32Kbytes On-chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage.
Since all AVR instructions are 16 bits or 32 bits wide, the Flash is organized as 16K × 16. For software security, the
Flash Program memory space is divided into two sections, Boot Program section and Application Program section.
The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The ATmega32A Program Counter
(PC) is 14 bits wide, thus addressing the 16K program memory locations. The operation of Boot Program section
and associated Boot Lock bits for software protection are described in detail in “Boot Loader Support – Read-
While-Write Self-Programming” on page 235. “Memory Programming” on page 248 contains a detailed description
on Flash Programming in SPI, JTAG, or Parallel Programming mode.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see the LPM – Load Program
Memory Instruction Description).
Timing diagrams for instruction fetch and execution are presented in “Instruction Execution Timing” on page 12.
