AVR

HISTORY
AVR was developed in the year 1996 by Atmel Corporation. The architecture of AVR was developed byAlf-Egil Bogen and Vegard Wollan. AVR derives its name from its developers and stands for Alf-Egil Bogen Vegard Wollan RISC microcontroller, also known as Advanced Virtual RISC. The AT90S8515 was the first microcontroller which was based on AVR architecture however the first microcontroller to hit the commercial market was AT90S1200 in the year 1997.

Types of AVR
AVR microcontrollers are available in three categories: 1. TinyAVR Less memory, small size, suitable only for simpler applications 2. MegaAVR These are the most popular ones having good amount of memory (upto 256 KB), higher number of inbuilt peripherals and suitable for moderate to complex applications. 3. XmegaAVR Used commercially for complex applications, which require large program memory and high speed.

Types of AVR
Series Name Pins Flash Memory Special Feature TinyAVR 6-32 0.5-8 KB Small in size MegaAVR 28-100 4-256KB Extended peripherals XmegaAVR 44-100 16-384KB DMA , Event System included

Whats special about AVR?


They are fast: AVR microcontroller executes most of the instructions in single execution cycle. AVRs are about 4 times faster than PICs, they consume less power and can be operated in different power saving modes.
