27.8.15 ATmega168A and ATmega168PA Boot Loader Parameters
In Table 27-10 through Table 27-12, the parameters used in the description of the self programming are given.
Note: The different BOOTSZ Fuse configurations are shown in Figure 27-2 on page 283.
For details about these two section, see ”NRWW – No Read-While-Write Section” on page 281 and ”RWW – Read-While-
Write Section” on page 281
Note: 1. Z15:Z14: always ignored
Z0: should be zero for all SPM commands, byte select for the LPM instruction.
See ”Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming” on page 285 for details about the use of Z-pointer during Self-
Programming.

Z-value
(1)
Description
PCMSB 12
Most significant bit in the Program Counter. (The Program Counter
is 13 bits PC[12:0])
PAG E MS B 5
Most significant bit which is used to address the words within
one page (64 words in a page requires 6 bits PC [5:0])
ZPCMSB Z13
Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PCMSB. Because Z0 is not used,
the ZPCMSB equals PCMSB + 1.
ZPAGEMSB Z6
Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PAGEMSB. Because Z0 is not
used, the ZPAGEMSB equals PAGEMSB + 1.
PCPAGE PC[12:6] Z13:Z7
Program counter page address: Page select, for page erase and
page write
PCWORD PC[5:0] Z6:Z1
Program counter word address: Word select, for filling temporary
buffer (must be zero during page write operation)
