28.8 Serial Downloading
Both the flash and EEPROM memory arrays can be programmed using the serial SPI bus while RESET is pulled to GND.
The serial interface consists of pins SCK, MOSI (input) and MISO (output). After RESET
is set low, the programming enable
instruction needs to be executed first before program/erase operations can be executed. NOTE, in Table 28-15 on page 264,
the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

Notes: 1. If the device is clocked by the internal Oscillator, it is no need to connect a clock source to the 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

< 12MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f
