8.0.7

MCU Status Register – MCUSR

The MCU Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU reset.

• Bit 7..4: Res: Reserved Bits

These bits are unused bits in the ATmega48/88/168, and will always read as zero.

• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog System Reset Flag

This bit is set if a Watchdog System Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by

writing a logic zero to the flag.

• Bit 2 – BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag

This bit is set if a Brown-out Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a

logic zero to the flag.

• Bit 1 – EXTRF: External Reset Flag

This bit is set if an External Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a

logic zero to the flag.

• Bit 0 – PORF: Power-on Reset Flag

This bit is set if a Power-on Reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a logic zero to the flag.

To make use of the Reset Flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then

Reset the MCUSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another

reset occurs, the source of the reset can be found by examining the Reset Flags.

8.1

Internal Voltage Reference

ATmega48/88/168 features an internal bandgap reference. This reference is used for Brown-out

Detection, and it can be used as an input to the Analog Comparator or the ADC.

8.1.1

Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time

The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The

start-up time is given in Table 8-4. To save power, the reference is not always turned on. The

reference is on during the following situations:

When the BOD is enabled (by programming the BODLEVEL [2..0] Fuses).

When the bandgap reference is connected to the Analog Comparator (by setting the

ACBG bit in ACSR).

When the ADC is enabled.
