8.5.1 General Purpose I/O Registers
The ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P contains three General Purpose I/O Registers.
These registers can be used for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for stor-
ing global variables and Status Flags. General Purpose I/O Registers within the address range
0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.
8.6 Register Description
8.6.1 EEARH and EEARL – The EEPROM Address Register
• Bits [15:9] – Reserved
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P and will always read
as zero.
• Bits 8:0 – EEAR[8:0]: EEPROM Address
The EEPROM Address Registers – EEARH and EEARL specify the EEPROM address in the
256/512/512/1Kbytes EEPROM space. The EEPROM data bytes are addressed linearly
between 0 and 255/511/511/1023. The initial value of EEAR is undefined. A proper value must
be written before the EEPROM may be accessed.
EEAR8 is an unused bit in ATmega 48A/48PA and must always be written to zero.
8.6.2 EEDR – The EEPROM Data Register
• Bits 7:0 – EEDR[7:0]: EEPROM Data
For the EEPROM write operation, the EEDR Register contains the data to be written to the
EEPROM in the address given by the EEAR Register. For the EEPROM read operation, the
EEDR contains the data read out from the EEPROM at the address given by EEAR.
8.6.3 EECR – The EEPROM Control Register
• Bits 7:6 – Reserved
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P and will always read
as zero.
