About the book

A book for all electronic engineers who want to learn about the structure and programming of AVR microcontrollers, as well as popular tools (software and hardware) used to implement projects on them. The theoretical issues necessary for the skillful use of these modern microcontrollers are illustrated by many practical examples. They present ways of solving typical problems encountered by constructors in practice.

Architecture

• construction and operation of the AVR core;
• construction and functions of peripheral modules;
• organization and types of memory;
