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 92, the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use the SPI pins
dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

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 92 on page 189, the pin mapping for SPI programming is listed. Not all parts use
the SPI pins dedicated for the internal SPI interface.

Note: 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 pro-
gramming 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 $FF.
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
< 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
≥ 12 MHz
High: > 2 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
< 12 MHz, 3 CPU clock cycles for f
ck
≥ 12 MHz
