Register Descriptions
3.14.1
CCP – Configuration Change Protection register
• Bit 7:0 – CCP[7:0]: Configuration Change Protection
The CCP register must be written with the correct signature to enable change of the protected
I/O register or execution of the protected instruction for a maximum period of four CPU instruc-
tion cycles. All interrupts are ignored during these cycles. After these cycles, interrupts will
automatically be handled again by the CPU, and any pending interrupts will be executed accord-
ing to their level and priority. When the protected I/O register signature is written, CCP[0] will
read as one as long as the protected feature is enabled. Similarly when the protected SPM/LPM
signature is written, CCP[1] will read as one as long as the protected feature is enabled.
CCP[7:2] will always read as zero.

modes.
3.14.2
RAMPD – Extended Direct Addressing register
This register is concatenated with the operand for direct addressing (LDS/STS) of the whole
data memory space on devices with more than 64KB of data memory. This register is not avail-
able if the data memory, including external memory, is less than 64KB.
• Bit 7:0 – RAMPD[7:0]: Extended Direct Addressing bits
These bits hold the MSB of the 24-bit address created by RAMPD and the 16-bit operand. Only
the number of bits required to address the available data memory is implemented for each
device. Unused bits will always read as zero.
3.14.3
RAMPX – Extended X-Pointer register
This register is concatenated with the X-register for indirect addressing (LD/LDD/ST/STD) of the
whole data memory space on devices with more than 64KB of data memory. This register is not
available if the data memory, including external memory, is less than 64KB.
