BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's ...

The paper describes a design of a microcode-controlled state machine and its software implementation in the Atmel AVR microcontrollers. In particular, the microcontrollers ATmegal03 and ATmegal28 are ...

Atmel(R) Corporation recently announced the availability of a new family of AVR(R) 8-bit microcontrollers dedicated to automotive motor control applications.

Microchip announces the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment version 5.05 which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers. This release will allow designers who traditionally ...

Spurred on by a ‘maker’ generation using Atmel microcontrollers that powered Arduinos, and ARM architecture that went into the Broadcom chips used in Raspberry Pis.

The Atmel ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 microcontrollers, available from Mouser Electronics, are low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontrollers based on the Atmel AVR-enhanced RISC architecture. The AVR core ...

Atmel Corp., which has operated a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Colorado Springs since 1989, passed into the history books Monday when it was acquired by Arizona-based Microchip Technology ...

Atmel produces non-volatile memory that stores information after power is turned off and combines this with microcontrollers, digital signal processors and other logic to meet the needs of its ...

Microchip has the very, very popular PIC series microcontrollers, which can be found in everything. Atmel’s portfolio includes the AVR line of microcontrollers, which are also found in everything.

Engineers, hackers, and electronic hobbyists are frequently sided with Microchip’s PIC line or Atmel’s AVR line of microcontrollers. It’s the closest thing we have to a holy war in electronics.
