Introduction to AVR 
Microcontrollers 
Presented By: 
Mahmoud Sadat Badran
OUTLINE: 
• Microcontroller ? (History ,Components, Advantages, Applications) 
• Hardware VS. Software 
• Microcontroller Vs. Microprocessor. 
• Major market players. 
• AVR Microcontroller. 
• References.
• Microcontroller ? 
• A microcontroller is a single chip, self-contained 
computer.
History. 
1. 1971 Texas Instrument calculator-on-a-chip TMS 1000, which 
was a 4-bit microcontroller with built-in ROM and RAM. 
2. 1976 Intel 8048 was one of Intel's first microcontrollers. 
3. 1980 Intel 8051 followed in and became one of the most 
popular microcontroller families. 
4. 1996 Atmel AVR was one of the first microcontroller families 
to use on-chip flash memory for program storage.
Components. 
A Microcontroller has seven main components: 
1-Central processing unit (CPU) 
2-ROM 
3-RAM 
4-Input and Output 
5-Timer 
6-Interrupt circuitry 
7-Buses 
8-Oscillatory circuits
Advantages. 
1. Cheap. 
2. Very small in size. 
3. Programming of Microcontrollers is simple to learn (c language or 
Assembly). 
4. Ability to simulate project before implementation.
Applications. 
1.Mobile Phones. 
2.Auto-motive industry. 
3.CD/DVD Players. 
4.Washing Machines. 
5.Cameras. 
6.Modems and Routers. 
7.Security Alarms. 
8.Electronic Measurement. 
9.Microwave Oven. 
Etc.
Hardware VS. Software 
Hardware Software 
# Hardware Software 
Design Cost High Medium 
Speed High Medium 
Modifications Hard Easy 
Maintainability Hard Easy 
Time to market Long short 
Cost High Low
Microcontroller Vs. Microprocessor 
# Micro-controller Micro-processor 
Cost Cheap Expensive 
Speed Slow (in MHz Range) Fast (in GHz Range) 
Purpose Special General 
Dependency Single Chip has almost 
all components 
Need external 
components to be able 
to interact. 
Resources Limited Unlimited
Major market 
1p. lTaeyxeasr sInstruments. 
2. Atmel Corporation. 
3. Microchip. 
4. Renesas Technology Corp. 
5. Intel Corporation. 
6. STMicroelectronics. 
7. Freescale Semiconductor.
AVR Microcontroller 
The AVR architecture was conceived by two students at the 
Norwegian Institute of Technology Alf-Egil Bogen and Vegard 
Wollan 
• Devices range from 1 to 
256KB 
• Pin count range from 8 to 
100 
• Full code compatibility 
• Pin/feature compatible
