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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Atmel® Corporation a leader in microcontroller and touch solutions, announced the release of 13 new devices in 3 different product series in its 32-bit AVR® UC3 product portfolio. The award-winning ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...

The Arduino ecosystem is an amazing learning tool, but even those of us who love it admit that even the simplified C Arduino uses isn’t the ideal teaching language. Those of us who remember learning ...

The AT90USB82 and AT90USB162 AVR microcontrollers from Atmel Corp. incorporate a number of performance features, including a full-speed (12-Mbit/s) USB controller. The AVR family of microcontrollers ...

The project illustrates the use of AVR ISP to develop software in an AVR Studio 4 environment to directly program chips. There are some sites that are populated with simplified version of AVR ISP ...
