| Why AVR Microcontroller |
Whether a particular requirement needs to be implemented using discrete ICs or PLDs or
a microprocessor must be determined by the designer. However, many applications could
be suitably implemented using microcontrollers, and a great many of them would benefit
from using the AVR as outlined briefly below.
Atmel's AVR RISC family of controllers has the following features:
High Performance
- True RISC architecture
- True single cycle execution
- One MIPS per MHz up to 20MHz
- 32 general purpose registers
- Harvard architecture
Low Power Consumption
- 1.8 to 5.5V operation
- A variety of sleep modes
- Fast wake-up from sleep modes
- Software controlled frequency
- Single cycle and high code density
Scalable
In-System Development
- In-System Programming
- On-Chip Debugging
- In-system verification
Development Tools
AVR32 32-bits MCU/DSP available now
More MIPS, less mA - get AVR32!
Atmel has created the first processor architected specifically for 21st century applications that require both performance and low power consumption. The AVR32 32-bit RISC processor core is designed to do more processing per clock cycle so the same throughput can be achieved at a lower clock frequency with substantially less power consumption.
