Atmel developed AVR family microcontrollers in the beginning of 1996. These are the modification of Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. AVR was one of the first microcontroller families to use on-chip Flash memory For program storage as opposed to one-time programmable ROM EPROM or EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time.

The Atmel 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 a single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
