Presents a comprehensive guide to designing with Atmel's controller family. This text is divided into three sections: hardware, which covers internal peripherals; software, which covers programming and the instruction set; and tools, which explains using Atmel's Assembler and Simulator as well as IAR's C compiler.

"The AVR RISC Microcontroller Handbook" is a comprehensive guide to designing with Atmel's new controller family, which is designed to offer high speed and low power consumption at a lower cost. The main text is divided into three sections: hardware, which covers all internal peripherals; software, which covers programming and the instruction set; and tools, which explains using Atmel's Assembler and Simulator (available on the Web) as well as IAR's C compiler. It is a practical guide for advanced hobbyists or design professionals. The development tools and code are available on the Web.
