A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

When it comes to AVR microcontrollers the most common programming option is In-System Programming (ISP). ISP interface is easy to use but in some scenarios it is totally unusable. The most common ...

We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

Microchip Technology, a provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, has further expanded its AVR microcontroller (MCU) portfolio by adding three new devices to the ...

Microchip has released the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers (MCUs). This release will allow designers who ...

Many companies have switched to the open source Eclipse platform instead of pushing their own proprietary IDE. Atmel decided to take a different approach for its 8- and 32-bit AVR microcontrollers. It ...

-- AVR picoPower Technology Extends Battery Life With Sleep Power Consumption at 100 nA in Power-Down and 650 nA With Real Time Counter Running Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), announced today ...

Did you know that most AVR chips have a type of hardware exclusive OR (XOR) option when it comes to the logic levels of the output pins? If you look in the datasheet (the image above is a screenshot ...

Atmel’s picoPower AVR ATtiny10 has 1Kbytes of programmable Flash memory, and 32bytes of internal SRAM. The 6-pin device has up to 12 MIPS of processing throughput, an 8-bit A/D converter, an analog ...

Designers who have traditionally used Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and incorporate AVR MCUs into their applications. The ...
