Anyone looked into the AVR? from ATMEL. Ive been glancing at it today and its good, in fact it appears to be very good. Ive even approached microchip some the the features like a 1.8V operating supply and all microchip could say was well we can seen the need. But they dont seem to be able to respond, could this chip be the next possible microcontroller craze ? taking over from the PIC. We now have pics in everything will this begin to change i wonder ?
