Content Inside : The third-generation Flash microcontrollers from Atmel are now available. These microcontrollers offer self-programming Flash. The microcontroller can write to its own program memory when running code from the boot sector. This creates new possibilities for the designers using self-programming memory-based microcontrollers. Atmel’s microcontrollers with integrated Flash program memory ...

Part of Content : Overviews, The ATmega128 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega128 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed. Block Diagram, ...

Part of Content : A microcontroller has on-chip peripherals that dramatically decrease the amount of external components needed in a design. It may have general purpose IO, serial IO,ADC and sometimes even special purpose IO pins that support protocol such as the I2C bus, all built into the chip itself. Typically ...
