  • AVR042: AVR® Hardware Design Considerations

    This application note provides answers to some of the questions and problems faced when starting designs involving AVR® microcontrollers.

  • AVR120: Characterization and Calibration of the ADC on an AVR

    This application note explains various ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) characterization parameters, how they affect ADC measurements, how to measure them, and how to perform run-time compensation.

  • AVR121: Enhancing ADC Resolution by Over Sampling

    This application note explains the method called 'Oversampling and Decimation' and which conditions need to be fulfilled to make this method work properly to achieve a higher resolution without using an external ADC.

  • AVR122: Calibration of the AVR's Internal Temperature Reference

    This application note describes how to calibrate and compensate the temperature measurements from the ATtiny25/45/85. It can also be used on other AVR microcontrollers with internal temperature sensors.

  • AVR125: ADC of tinyAVR® in Single-Ended Mode

    This application note describes the basic functionality of the ADC in tinyAVR devices in single-ended mode with code examples on ATtiny88 to get started. The code examples are written in assembly language and C language.

  • AVR127: Understanding ADC Parameters

    This application note discusses about the basic concepts of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the various parameters that determine the performance of an ADC. These ADC parameters are of high importance since they are part of deciding the accuracy of the ADC's output.
