Overview

AVR Solutions

Atmel® AVR® 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers complement Atmel's ARM® microcontrollers and microprocessors to deliver a unique combination of performance, power efficiency, and design flexibility. Optimized to speed time to market, they are based on the industry's most code-efficient architecture for C and assembly programming. No other microcontrollers deliver more computing performance with better power efficiency. Industry-leading development tools and design support let you get to market faster. Once there, the large AVR family lets you reuse your knowledge when improving your products and expanding to new markets easily and cost-effectively.

AVR32- 32-bit AVR UC3

The 32-bit AVR UC3 takes efficiency to a new level, going beyond high performance and low power consumption. Native fixed point DSP support, dual port SRAM, multi layer data bus, peripheral DMA controller, peripheral event system and intelligent peripherals move performance and power consumption to the next step. The peripheral DMA controller and multi-layer high-speed bus architecture make the UC3 microcontrollers ideal for high throughput applications. Intelligent peripherals and dynamic power control make UC3 devices the obvious choice for portable and battery-powered applications. Selected UC3 devices include an integrated Floating Point Unit (FPU) which improves arithmetic performance on decimal numbers, with better precision and wider dynamic range.

AVR - 8/16-bit AVR XMEGA

The AVR XMEGA delivers 16-bit performance and leading low-power features at an 8-bit price point. With a DMA controller, an innovative Event System, crypto engine, and high-speed ADC and DAC, AVR XMEGA pushes the boundaries for high-performance 8/16-bit MCUs. All AVR XMEGA devices are compatible with tinyAVR and megaAVR devices. Within the XMEGA family, devices are 100% code compatible across all devices from the smallest to the largest. This makes it possible to develop with any XMEGA device, and switch to any other XMEGA device later without having to change any code. This allows multi-project development teams to keep and maintain only one code base and use and re-use this across multiple projects. The result is much faster development and prototyping cycles.

AVR - 8-bit megaAVR

The megaAVR family offers the broadest selection of devices and peripheral options, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The family contains devices with LCD, USB, CAN, and LIN interfaces, in addition to the standard SPI, UART and I2C interface. Developed for applications that need large amount of program code, megaAVR offers substantial program and data memories. Better still, megaAVR features self-programming flash for fast, secure, cost-effective field upgrades.

AVR - 8-bit tinyAVR

tinyAVR devices are optimized for a wide range of applications that require a small but powerful microcontroller. They are perfect for size constrained applications and they are often found as glue logic in bigger systems. boards and is available with integrated A/D converter and EEPROM memory. By delivering Flash flexibility at Mask ROM prices, tinyAVR significantly cuts your time to market, while boosting your bottom line. And there’s nothing tiny about that.
