ATmega128 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the
ATmega128 achieves throughputs approaching 1MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to
optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

ATmega128
The Atmel
®
AVR
®
core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working regis-
ters. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two
independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The
resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATmega128 provides the following features: 128Kbytes of In-System Programmable Flash
with Read-While-Write capabilities, 4Kbytes EEPROM, 4Kbytes SRAM, 53 general purpose I/O
lines, 32 general purpose working registers, Real Time Counter (RTC), four flexible Timer/Coun-
ters with compare modes and PWM, 2 USARTs, a byte oriented Two-wire Serial Interface, an 8-
channel, 10-bit ADC with optional differential input stage with programmable gain, programma-
ble
Watchdog
Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port, IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant
JTAG test interface, also used for accessing the On-chip Debug system and programming and
six software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the
SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down
mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions
until the next interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the asynchronous timer contin-
ues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.
The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except Asynchronous
Timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the
Crystal/Resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very
fast start-up combined with low power consumption. In Extended Standby mode, both the main
Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue to run.
Atmel offers the QTouch
®
library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels
functionality into AVR microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers
robust sensing and includes fully debounced reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key
Suppression
®
(AKS
™
) technology for unambiguous detection of key events. The easy-to-use
QTouch Suite toolchain allows you to explore, develop and debug your own touch applications.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology. The On-
chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial
interface, by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip Boot program
running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the application
program in the application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash section will continue to run
while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By
combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip,
the Atmel ATmega128 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effec-
tive solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega128 device is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools
including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit emulators,
and evaluation kits.
ATmega103 and
ATmega128
Compatibility
The ATmega128 is a highly complex microcontroller where the number of I/O locations super-
sedes the 64 I/O locations reserved in the AVR instruction set. To ensure backward compatibility
with the ATmega103, all I/O locations present in ATmega103 have the same location in
ATmega128. Most additional I/O locations are added in an Extended I/O space starting from $60
to $FF, (i.e., in the ATmega103 internal RAM space). These locations can be reached by using
LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions only, not by using IN and OUT instructions. The relo-
cation of the internal RAM space may still be a problem for ATmega103 users. Also, the
increased number of interrupt vectors might be a problem if the code uses absolute addresses.
To solve these problems, an ATmega103 compatibility mode can be selected by programming
the fuse M103C. In this mode, none of the functions in the Extended I/O space are in use, so the
internal RAM is located as in ATmega103. Also, the Extended Interrupt vectors are removed.

ATmega128
The ATmega128 is 100% pin compatible with ATmega103, and can replace the ATmega103 on
current Printed Circuit Boards. The application note “Replacing ATmega103 by ATmega128”
describes what the user should be aware of replacing the ATmega103 by an ATmega128.
ATmega103
Compatibility Mode
By programming the M103C fuse, the Atmel
®
ATmega128 will be compatible with the
ATmega103 regards to RAM, I/O pins and interrupt vectors as described above. However, some
new features in ATmega128 are not available in this compatibility mode, these features are
listed below:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
One USART instead of two, Asynchronous mode only. Only the eight least significant bits of
the Baud Rate Register is available.
One 16 bits Timer/Counter with two compare registers instead of two 16-bit Timer/Counters
with three compare registers.
Two-wire serial interface is not supported.
Port C is output only.
Port G serves alternate functions only (not a general I/O port).
Port F serves as digital input only in addition to analog input to the ADC.
Boot Loader capabilities is not supported.
It is not possible to adjust the frequency of the internal calibrated RC Oscillator.
The External Memory Interface can not release any Address pins for general I/O, neither
configure different wait-states to different External Memory Address sections.
Only EXTRF and PORF exists in MCUCSR.
Timed sequence not required for
Watchdog
Time-out change.
External Interrupt pins 3 - 0 serve as level interrupt only.
USART has no FIFO buffer, so data overrun comes earlier.
In addition, there are some other minor differences to make it more compatible to ATmega103:
•
•
•
•
Unused I/O bits in ATmega103 should be written to 0 to ensure same operation in ATmega128.
Pin Descriptions
VCC
GND
Port A (PA7..PA0)
Digital supply voltage.
Ground.
Port A is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port A output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port A pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port A also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega128 as listed on
page
72.
Port B (PB7..PB0)
Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The
Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up
resistors are activated. The Port B pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active,
even if the clock is not running.
Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the ATmega128 as listed on
