ATMEGA8515-16AUR

The ATmega8515 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVRenhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle,the ATmega8515 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the systemdesigner to optimize power consumption versus processing speed. 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), allowingtwo independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clockcycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up toten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.The ATmega8515 provides the following features: 8K bytes of In-System ProgrammableFlash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 512 bytes EEPROM, 512 bytes SRAM, anExternal memory interface, 35 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose workingregisters, two flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, Internal and External interrupts,a Serial Programmable USART, a programmable Watchdog Timer with internalOscillator, a SPI serial port, and three software selectable power saving modes. The Idlemode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and Interruptsystem to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the Register contents butfreezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardwarereset. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest ofthe device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low-powerconsumption. The device is manufactured using Microchip’s high density nonvolatile memory technology.The On-chip ISP Flash allows the Program memory to be reprogrammed In-Systemthrough an SPI serial interface, by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer, orby an On-chip Boot program running on the AVR core. The boot program can use anyinterface to do
