Packaging . Single Cycle Execution Instruction(orders in assembly language) : It executes a single order every single pulse(doesn’t exceed 131 order) . Mega Instruction Per Second(Atmel) : It executes 16M order in second when operated on 16MHz . One Chip 2-Cycle Multiplier . Self Programmable Flash Memory(32KB) . EPROM(512 Byte). SRAM(2KB) . True Read While Write Operation : Read from ROM and write to RAM simultaneously . Programming Locks . Flash memory can be programmed for 10K times . EPROM can be programmed for 100K times. It can keep the program for 100 years on 25 C or for 25 years on 80 C . DIP(Dual In Line Package)
SMD (Surface Mount Device)
o PIN 9 (Reset): Its an active low pin which means a low level activates it and make the program executes again from the start , so we must connect always this pin to VCC by a 10KΩ resistor. o PIN 10 (VCC): It receives the external power which must be 2.7<VCC<5.5 v . o PIN 11,31 (GND): It must be connected by the ground of the source . - The reason of existing 2 GND pins is to kill the noise especially when we operate on high frequencies . o PIN 12,13 (XTAL 1, XTAL 2): They must be connected to the two terminals of the oscillator circuit . o PIN 30 (AVCC): we connect it to VCC when we want to activate the internal ADC of the MCU .
