The document discusses the key components and features of the Atmega328P microcontroller, including its 32 general purpose registers, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), status register for conditional branching, power on reset, clock distribution system, power management features, and watchdog timer. The microcontroller can be programmed after a power on reset to begin code execution from a specified address location.

- 4. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Data Path 32 x 8 General Purpose Registers ALU 8 8 Result Status Register H, S, V, N, Z, C Flags Carry Bit Performs arithmetic, logical, or bit-function operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate data within a single CPU clock cycle. Can perform multiplication using on-chip 2-cycle multiplier. Status Register is updated after all ALU operations, as explained in the Instruction Set Reference.

Explained later. T – Bit Copy Storage. Explained later. H – Half carry flag. Explained later. S – Sign flag. S = N⊕V. Explained later. V – Overflow flag. Explained later. N – The negative flag. N = MSB of result. Z – Zero flag. Z = 1 if result is 0. Z = 0 if result is 1. C – Carry flag. C = 1 if there is carry from D7. R S Ananda Murthy Understanding Atmega328P Microcontroller
- 6. Power On Reset (POR) When Vcc is applied to the AVR microcontroller, it is automatically reset. This is known as Power On Reset (POR). After POR, the Program Counter is loaded with the reset address $0000 so that the instruction present in that location is executed. In Atmega328P, the user has to write a jump instruction (JMP) at location $0000 to jump to the desired application. Other events which can reset the MCU will be explained in detail later.

- 7. Clock Distribution in Atmega328P R S Ananda Murthy Understanding Atmega328P Microcontroller
- 8. AVR Clock System Clock Control Unit in side the chip generates clocks for memory and IO devices. Multiple clock signals are generated in side the chip. All of the clocks need not be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes. Default is internal 8 MHz R-C oscillator which is divided by 8 by prescaler to give a 1 MHz CPU clock. Default CPU clock is only 5-10% accurate. Option to use external crystal clock source (max 20 MHz) is also available. Selection of system clock by software will be explained later. R S Ananda Murthy Understanding Atmega328P Microcontroller
- 9. Power Management Features in Atmega328P Unused modules can be shut down to save power. Six Sleep Modes – Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power-save, Power-down, Standby, and Extended Standby. From power down mode the device can be made to wake up on external reset or when the watchdog timer reset occurs. From power save mode the device can be made to wake up on timer events. Power management by software will be explained later. R S Ananda Murthy Understanding Atmega328P Microcontroller
- 10. Watchdog Timer When MCU is hanging due to any reason, the watchdog timer will timeout and produce an internal reset signal to load the Program Counter with the reset address $0000. During normal operation, the MCU regularly restarts the watchdog timer to prevent it from elapsing, or timing out. More details about watchdog timer will be given later.
