466130 Datasheet, PDF (6/36 Pages) ATMEL Corporation – 8-bit Microcontroller with 64/128K Bytes of ISP Flash

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.
The ATmega32U6/AT90USB64/128 provides the following features: 32/64/128K bytes of In-
System Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 1K/2K/4K bytes EEPROM,
2.5K/4K/8K bytes SRAM, 48 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers,
Real Time Counter (RTC), four flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes and PWM, one
USART, a byte oriented 2-wire Serial Interface, a 8-channels, 10-bit ADC with optional differen-
tial input stage with programmable gain, programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator,
an SPI serial port, IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG test interface, also used for accessing the
On-chip Debug system and programming and six software selectable power saving modes. The
Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and interrupt sys-
tem 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. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all
I/O modules except Asynchronous Timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC
conversions. 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 nonvolatile memory technology. The On-
chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial
interface, by a conventional nonvolatile 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 ATmega32U6/AT90USB64/128 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly
flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega32U6/AT90USB64/128 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.
