Instruction Execution
Timing
This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution. The
AVR CPU is driven by the CPU clock clkCPU, directly generated from the selected clock
source for the chip. No internal clock division is used.
Figure 6 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the
Harvard architecture and the fast-access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelin-
ing concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for
functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Figure 7 shows the internal timing concept for the Register File. In a single clock cycle
an ALU operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored back
to the destination register.

Handling
2512K–AVR–01/10
The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate
Reset Vector each have a separate program vector in the Program memory space. All
interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be written logic one together
with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Status Register in order to enable the interrupt.
Depending on the Program Counter value, interrupts may be automatically disabled
when Boot Lock bits BLB02 or BLB12 are programmed. This feature improves software
security. See the section “Memory Programming” on page 179 for details.
The lowest addresses in the Program memory space are by default defined as the
Reset and Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on
page 54. The list also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower
the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is
INT0 – the External Interrupt Request 0. The Interrupt Vectors can be moved to the start
of the Boot Flash section by setting the IVSEL bit in the General Interrupt Control Regis-
ter (GICR). Refer to “Interrupts” on page 54 for more information. The Reset Vector can
