Re: avr microcontroller

According to Wikipedia, AVR stands for either 'Advanced Virtual RISC' or 'Alf and Vegard [RISC]':
The AVR basic architecture was conceived by two students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) Alf-Egil Bogen and Vegard Wollan.
The internal architecture was further developed by Alf and Vergard at Atmel Norway, a subsidiary of Atmel founded by the two architects.

The acronym AVR has been reported to stand for Advanced Virtual RISC, but it has also been rumoured to stand for the initials chip's designers: Alf and Vegard [RISC].

Oh! AVR is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). So that mean AVR is simple but powerful mcu.
