ATmega164P/324P/644P
2. Overview
The ATmega164P/324P/644P is a low-powe r CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the
ATmega164P/324P/644P achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the sys-
tem designer to optimize power consumption ve rsus 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), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achiev ing throughputs up to ten times faster than con-
ventional CISC microcontrollers.
