Power and reset

Required

Use a current-limited supply at a voltage permitted by the order code and system clock. Tie the listed supply pins to that rail. Fit one 100 nF ceramic capacitor close to each supply-and-ground pair. Use a 10 kΩ reset pull-up for this bench circuit.

Bench checks

  • With power off, check for a short across the supply. Power on and measure voltage at every supply pin and at reset.
  • Check the clock source configured by CKSEL. If a used part expects an external clock, provide it before attempting serial programming.

Connection scenarios

Program and read the signature over ISP

Start from the power and reset circuit. Attach a voltage-compatible AVR in-system programmer and use the target voltage as its reference. Connect reset, serial data in/out, and SCK as shown.

Bench checks

  • Read the device signature before writing flash or fuses. If it fails, verify target power, the clock source, programmer direction, and the selected device.
  • If the programmer offers an adjustable SCK, start below one quarter of the target clock and check the data sheet’s SCK high and low timing. Disconnect or isolate other peripherals that drive the programming lines.
  • Disable power output on the programmer if the target has its own bench supply. Confirm the programmer’s VTG behavior in its manual.
