AVR Development board

What is AVR?

There are number of popular families of microcontrollers which are used in different application as per their capability and feasibility to perform the desired task, most common of these are 8054, AVR, PIC. In this article we will introduce you with AVR family of micro controllers.

AVR is a simple programmable chip. It has a CPU, some flash memory, some RAM & some EEPROM, all in one chip. Flash memory is a storage location, like the hard disk of computer. RAM is a temporary storage just like computer RAM. EEPROM is used long term storage. Without EEPROM we can’t run a program from flash memory. The EEPROM doesn’t get erased when the chip loses power.

What is a AVR development board ?

This Development board is helps users to easily develop application for AVR. After programming the microcontroller, the code can be run on the development board. All ports of this Development board is easily accessible.
