Topics Introduction to AVRs AVR Architecture & Instruction Set Focus on Atmega128 AVR AVR Programming

Why Microcontroller? Purpose ?

Microcontroller Microcontrollers are important part of Embedded systems To understand Structure & working of Microcontrollers For Designing good Embedded system complete understanding of microcontrollers required

Microcontroller Integrated chip that typically contains integrated CPU, memory (RAM ROM), I/O ports on a single Chip. System on a single Chip Designed to execute a specific task to control a single system Smaller & Specified (design cost) Differs from Microprocessor general-purpose chip Used to design multi purpose computers or devices Require Multiple chips to to handle various tasks

AVR Microcontroller AVR stand for? Advanced Virtual RISC, the founders are Alf Egil Bogen Vegard Wollan RISC AVR architecture was conceived by two students at Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH)[1] and further refined and developed at Atmel Norway, the Atmel company founded by the two chip architects.

AVR Microcontroller AVR Micro controllers is Family of RISC Microcontrollers from Atmel. There are multiple architectures RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer)

RISC Microcontroller Reduced Introduction Set Computer Till 1980 Trend was to build increasingly complex CPUs with complex set of instructions like (CISC) (RISC) Instruction execute in single cycle “Architecture which reduces the chip complexity by simpler processing instructions”. RISC architecture CPUs capable of executing only a very limited (simple) set of instructions.

RISC Microcontroller CISC Approach Complete the task in few assembly line code TASK multiply 2:3, 5:2 locations numbers and put output in 5:2 location Command: MULT 2:3, 5:2 MULT is what is known as a "complex instruction." Instruction does`t complete in one cycle execution. Processor hardware that is capable of understanding and executing a series of operations.

RISC Microcontroller RISC Approach RISC processors only use simple instructions that can be executed within one clock cycle. "MULT" command divided into three separate commands: LOAD A, 2:3 LOAD B, 5:2 PROD A, B STORE 2:3, A Single Cycle Execution

RISC Microcontroller Reduced Instruction Set Computers Advantages Fast Execution of Instructions due to simple instructions for CPU. RISC chips require fewer transistors, which makes them cheaper to design and produce. Emphasis on software Single-clock,reduced instruction only Register to register: “LOAD" and "STORE“ are independent instructions Spends more transistors on memory registers

AVR Microcontroller Harvard Architecture von Neumann architecture The AVR is a Harvard architecture CPU. Harvard Architecture Computer architectures that used physically separate storage and signal pathways for their instructions and data. CPU can read both an instruction and data from memory at the same time that makes it faster. von Neumann architecture CPU can Read an instruction or data from/to the memory. Read, Write can`t occur at the same time due to same memory and signal pathway for data and instructions.

AVR Microcontroller A series of 8-bit RISC microcontrollers from Atmel. All AVR microcontrollers share same instruction set and a basic CPU (Harvard) architecture. It has 32 8-Bit general purpose registers. Mostly instruction Execute in Single clock cycle. Which makes it faster among 8 bit microcontrollers. AVR was designed for efficient execution of compiled C code.

AVR AT90S2313 Microcontrollers This is a microcontroller of AVR series from Atmel. High-performance and Low-power RISC Architecture It is a low voltage (2.7V - 6V), high performance CMOS 8-bit micro controller based on the AVR RISC architecture that already discussed . Since it is a microcontroller from AVR series ,it is also using Harvard Architecture that already discussed

AVR Microcontroller AVR is a family of 8-bit microntrollers with a large range of variants differing in: - size of program-memory (flash) - size of EEPROM memory - number of I/O pins - number of on-chip features such as uart and adc Smallest microconroller is the ATTiny11 with 1k flash ROM, no RAM and 6 I/O pins. Large such as the ATMEGA128 with 128k flash, 4KB RAM, 53 I/O pins and lots of on-chip features.
