Syllabus for AVR Microcontroller

Syllabus for AVR Microcontroller

The AVR is a modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single chip microcontroller which was developed by Atmel in 1996. The AVR was one of the first microcontroller families to use on-chip flash memory for program storage, as opposed to One-Time Programmable ROM, EPROM, or EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time

With a single cycle instruction RISC CPU, innovative Pico Power technology, and a rich feature set, the AVR architecture ensures fast code execution combined with the lowest possible power consumption. For high level application every nano second is countable. This program promises of encounter of all kind signal types that are required in most of high end projects.
