Overview:
Join us for a look into the world's leading 8-bit Flash microcontroller, the AVR. AVR delivers unmatched flexibility, combining the most code-efficient architecture for C and assembly programming with the ability to tune system parameters throughout the entire life cycle of your key products. You get to market sooner and can cost effectively upgrade and continuously refine you product offering as needed. AVR provides you with one architecture and one instruction set that you can easily and quickly port to any other AVR device.
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. AVR instructions will decrease the size of the program whether the code is written in C or assembly. With on-chip in-system programmable Flash and EEPROM, the AVR is a perfect choice in order to optimize cost and get products to the market quickly.
The seminar will introduce you to and provide an overview of AVR and product families including tinyAVR, megaAVR, ASSP AVR, and picoPower AVR's. The seminar will cover the AVR's innovative core, features, product families, product roadmap and development tools.
The one-hour seminar will consist of an introductory presentation of AVR and will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions about AVR.
Who Should Attend:
This is an introductory course of AVR targeted at: - Design and Development Engineers
- Technology and Development Managers
- Engineering and/or Technical Managers
Presenter:
John Carey is a Technical Marketing Manager for Microcontrollers with Atmel Corporation. He is responsible for British Columbia, the western United States and Latin America. He supports all microcontroller products for Atmel including: AVR, 8051, AVR32 and ARM. John earned his BSEE from Arizona State and his MSEE from Cal State Fullerton. During his career, John has held positions in engineering, sales, and marketing and has supported microcontrollers and microprocessors for Microchip and Motorola before joining Atmel.
Special discount for attending:
All registered attendees who purchase an AVR Dragon for $49.00 will also receive the STK500. The AVR Dragon sets a new standard for low cost development tools and supports all programming modes for the AVR device family. It also includes complete emulation support for devices with 32KB or less Flash memory. The STK500 Development Kit gives designers a quick start to develop code on the AVR combined with features for using the starter kit to develop prototypes and test new designs.
