AVR Microcontroller Family : Arduino / ATmega328p


Introduction

May be an image of text that says 'IMEL A ATMEGA128 A 0601 16AU'

AVR is a family of microcontrollers originally manufactured and sold by Atmel in 1996 and now by Microchip Technology from 2016. AVR family microcontroller used the AVR CPU architecture which is a modified Harvard 8-bit architecture. AVR architecture was designed by Alf-Egil Bogen and Vegard Wollan at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. They designed the architecture in such a way that program and data are stored in separate physical memory systems with different address spaces, but it was possible to read data items from program memory using special instructions. They manufactured the first development chips under Nordic VLSI (now Nordic Semiconductor), later the IP was sold to Atmel, and further development was done there which lead to their first release of the AVR 8-bit chip in 1997. In this article, we will be concentrating on the 8-bit AVR family which shares the same architecture.

Family

AVR microcontrollers are generally classified into :

  • tinyAVR – small footprint, fewer features, fewer I/O pins, and less memory
  • megaAVR – standard AVR chips
  • AVR Dx – HMI, industrial control, IoT applications
  • XMEGA – large footprint, many features
