Overview

The ATmega164PA/324PA/644PA/1284P is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on

the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle,

the ATmega164PA/324PA/644PA/1284P achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz

allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

Block Diagram

The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the

32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent

registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting

architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than con-

ventional CISC microcontrollers.
