Overview
The ATtiny13 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
ATtiny13 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system
designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

ATtiny13
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.
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 ATtiny13 provides the following features: 1K byte of In-System Programmable
Flash, 64 bytes EEPROM, 64 bytes SRAM, 6 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general pur-
pose working registers, one 8-bit Timer/Counter with compare modes, Internal and
External Interrupts, a 4-channel, 10-bit ADC, a programmable Watchdog Timer with
internal Oscillator, and three software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counter, ADC, Analog Comparator, and
Interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register con-
tents, disabling all chip functions until the next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. The ADC
Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except ADC, to minimize
switching noise during ADC conversions.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology.
The On-chip ISP Flash allows the Program memory to be re-programmed In-System
through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer or
by an On-chip boot code running on the AVR core.
The ATtiny13 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators, In-Cir-
cuit Emulators, and Evaluation kits.
Pin Descriptions

GND
Port B (PB5..PB0)
Digital supply voltage.
Ground.
Port B is a 6-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 ATtiny13 as listed on
page 48.
RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will gener-
ate a reset, even if the clock is not running. The minimum pulse length is given in Table
12 on page 30. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset.
This documentation contains simple code examples that briefly show how to use various
parts of the device. These code examples assume that the part specific header file is
included before compilation. Be aware that not all C compiler vendors include bit defini-
tions in the header files and interrupt handling in C is compiler dependent. Please
confirm with the C compiler documentation for more details.

AVR CPU Core
Introduction
This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main function of the
CPU core is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to
access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and handle interrupts.

In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture
– with separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the Program
memory are executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being exe-
cuted, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept
enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-
System Reprogrammable Flash memory.
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with
a single clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File,

ATtiny13
the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one
clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for
Data Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these
address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash Pro-
gram memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register,
described later in this section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a con-
stant and a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After
an arithmetic operation, the Status Register is updated to reflect information about the
result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions,
able to directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single
16-bit word format. Every Program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is
stored on the Stack. The Stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and
consequently the Stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the
SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the Reset routine (before subroutines
or interrupts are executed). The Stack Pointer (SP) is read/write accessible in the I/O
space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing
modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.
A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional
Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register. All interrupts have a separate Interrupt
Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their
Interrupt Vector position. The lower the Interrupt Vector address, the higher the priority.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control
Registers, SPI, and other I/O functions. The I/O memory can be accessed directly, or as
the Data Space locations following those of the Register File, 0x20 - 0x5F.
ALU – Arithmetic Logic
Unit
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general
purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between
general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed. The
ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-func-
tions. Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier
supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See the “Instruc-
tion Set” section for a detailed description.
