ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA/328P
• Bit 0 – SELFPRGEN: Self Programming Enable
This bit enables the SPM instruction for the next four clock cycles. If written to one together with
either RWWSRE, BLBSET, PGWRT, or PGERS, the following SPM instruction will have a spe-
cial meaning, see description above. If only SELFPRGEN is written, the following SPM
instruction will store the value in R1:R0 in the temporary page buffer addressed by the Z-pointer.
The LSB of the Z-pointer is ignored. The SELFPRGEN bit will auto-clear upon completion of an
SPM instruction, or if no SPM instruction is executed within four clock cycles. During Page Erase
and Page Write, the SELFPRGEN bit remains high until the operation is completed.
Writing any other combination than “10001”, “01001”, “00101”, “00011” or “00001” in the lower
five bits will have no effect.
