Atmel
's AVR microcontrollers have a RISC core running single cycle instructions
and a well-defined I/O structure that limits the need for external
components. Internal oscillators, timers, UART, SPI, pull-up resistors,
pulse width modulation, ADC, analog comparator and watch-dog timers are
some of the features you will find in AVR devices.
