Features
Overview
In-system Programmable Flash Program Memory
ATxmega A1
•
•
The AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the Program Memory and the Data Mem-
ory. In addition, the XMEGA A1 features an EEPROM Memory for non-volatile data storage. All
three memory spaces are linear and require no paging. The memory configurations are shown in
“Ordering Information” on page
Non-volatile memory spaces can be locked for further write and read/write operations. This pre-
vents unrestricted access to the application software.
The XMEGA A1 contains On-chip In-System Re-programmable Flash memory for program stor-
age, see
address location is 16 bits.
The XMEGA A1 has additional Boot section for bootloader applications. The Store Program
Memory (SPM) instruction used to write to the Flash will only operate from this section. Opera-
tion of the SPM is also associated with Boot Lock bits for software protection.
The XMEGA A1 has an Application Table section inside the Application section for storage of
Non-volatile data.
