• Bits 15..11 – Res: Reserved Bits
These are reserved bits and will always read as zero. When writing to this address loca-
tion, write these bits to zero for compatibility with future devices.
• Bits 10..0 – EEAR10..0: EEPROM Address
The EEPROM Address Registers – EEARH and EEARL specify the EEPROM address
in the 2K bytes EEPROM space. The EEPROM data bytes are addressed linearly
between 0 and 2,048. The Initial Value of EEAR is undefined. A proper value must be
written before the EEPROM may be accessed.

EEDR
• Bits 7..0 – EEDR7.0: EEPROM Data
For the EEPROM write operation, the EEDR Register contains the data to be written to
the EEPROM in the address given by the EEAR Register. For the EEPROM read oper-
ation, the EEDR contains the data read out from the EEPROM at the address given by
EEAR.

• Bits 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega64 and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable
Writing EERIE to one enables the EEPROM Ready Interrupt if the I-bit in SREG is set.
Writing EERIE to zero disables the interrupt. The EEPROM Ready Interrupt generates a
constant interrupt when EEWE is cleared.
