Retrieve AVR MCU ATmega162V
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 through which can manipulate the process of Retrieve AVR MCU ATmega162V. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATmega162 provides the following features: 16K bytes of In-System Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 512 bytes EEPROM, 1K bytes SRAM, an external memory interface, 35 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, a JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, On-chip Debugging support and programming, four flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, two serial programmable USARTs, a programmable Watchdog Timer with
Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port, and five software selectable power saving modes.
The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the Asynchronous Timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.

In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low-power consumption. In Extended Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue to run.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology.
The On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip Boot Program running on the AVR core. The Boot Program can use any interface to download the Application Program in the Application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega162 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega162 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, In-Circuit Emulators, and evaluation kits.
The ATmega162 is a highly complex microcontroller where the number of I/O locations supersedes the 64 I/O locations reserved in the AVR instruction set. To ensure backward compatibility with the ATmega161, all I/O locations present in ATmega161 have the same locations in ATmega162. Some additional I/O locations are added in an
Extended I/O space starting from 0x60 to 0xFF, (i.e., in the ATmega162 internal RAM space). These locations can be reached by using LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions only, not by using IN and OUT instructions. The relocation of the internal
RAM space may still be a problem for ATmega161 users. Also, the increased number of Interrupt Vectors might be a problem if the code uses absolute addresses to extract IC firmware. To solve these problems, an ATmega161 compatibility mode can be selected by programming the fuse M161C.
In this mode, none of the functions in the Extended I/O space are in use, so the internal RAM is located as in ATmega161. Also, the Extended Interrupt Vectors are removed. The ATmega162 is 100% pin compatible with ATmega161, and can replace the ATmega161 on current Printed Circuit Boards. However, the location of Fuse bits and the electrical characteristics differs between the two devices.
