Summary of Embedded System Design with the Atmel Avr Microcontroller – AVR E-Book
This textbook, "Atmel AVR: Advanced Programming and Interfacing," serves as a follow-up to a primer, focusing on advanced system-level design for Atmel AVR microcontrollers. It utilizes the ATmega164 as a representative model to teach interacting subsystems. The content covers architecture, assembly language, memory types, ports, and peripherals like PWM, ADC, USART, SPI, CAN, timers, interrupts, and various interfacing techniques for sensors and displays.
Parts used in the Atmel AVR: Advanced Programming and Interfacing project:
- Atmel AVR Microcontroller line
- Atmel ATmega164 microcontroller
- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) channels
- Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
- Serial Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)

This textbook provides practicing scientists and engineers an advanced treatment of the Atmel AVR microcontroller. This book is intended as a follow-on to a previously published book, titled Atmel AVR Microcontroller Primer: Programming and Interfacing. Some of the content from this earlier text is retained for completeness. This book will emphasize advanced programming and interfacing skills. We focus on system level design consisting of several interacting microcontroller subsystems. The first chapter discusses the system design process. Our approach is to provide the skills to quickly get up to speed to operate the internationally popular Atmel AVR microcontroller line by developing systems level design skills. We use the Atmel ATmega164 as a representative sample of the AVR line. The knowledge you gain on this microcontroller can be easily translated to every other microcontroller in the AVR line. In succeeding chapters, we cover the main subsystems aboard the microcontroller, providing a short theory section followed by a description of the related microcontroller subsystem with accompanying software for the subsystem.
