Avr Microcontroller 2

The document discusses the AVR family of microcontrollers. It describes the criteria for choosing a microcontroller, including computing needs, ease of development, and availability. It then covers the four main groups within the AVR family: Classic AVR, MegaAVR, TinyAVR, and Special Purpose AVR. Each group is defined along with examples that show their varying memory sizes, I/O pin counts, and other specifications. In closing, the document summarizes that it covered the criteria for selecting a microcontroller and provided an overview of the AVR microcontroller family.

Criteria for choosing a Microcontroller

1.Computing needs
2.Easy to develop
3.Availability

MICROCONTROLLERS 3
Criteria for choosing a Microcontroller

1. Computing Needs
a. Bit size – It indicate the computing power of CPU. Bit size may be 4 bit , 8 – bit, 16 – bit
or 32 – bit
b. Speed – Highest speed the microcontroller supports
c. Amount of RAM and ROM
d. Number of I/O pins
e. Cost per unit
f. Packaging – DIP (Dual Inline Packaging) or QFP (Quad Flat Packaging)
