 RISC Vs CISC
RISC- Reduced Instruction Set Computer
1. Few number of instructions

2. All the instructions perform simple operations

3. Instructions are executed in one cycle

4. Less complex circuitry

5. Compiler is more complex as compared to CISC

6. Cheaper than CISC

 RISC Vs CISC
CISC- Complex Instruction Set Computer
1. More number of instructions

2. Many instructions perform complex operations (MUL)

3. Most of the instructions take more than one clock cycle

4. Circuitry is complex

5. Compiler is less complex as compared to RISC

6. Costlier than RISC

 Harvard Vs Von-Neumann
Von-Neumann Architecture
•Computer architectures that used single storage and
signal pathways for their instructions and data.

•CPU can not read both an instruction and data from

memory at the same time that makes it slower.

Prof. Kanade Dnyaneshwar Department of Electronics Engineering

 Harvard Vs Von-Neumann
Harvard Architecture
•Computer architectures that used physically separate
storage and signal pathways for their instructions and
data.

•CPU can read both an instruction and data from memory

at the same time that makes it faster.
• AVR uses Harvard Architecture

 ATMEL AVR Microcontrollers
Introduction :

AVR or Atmel AVR are RISC based family of microcontroller

produced by Atmel Corporations.

The acronym AVR has been reported to stand for: Advanced

Virtual RISC and also for the chip's designers: Alf-Egil
Bogen and Vegard Wollan who designed the basic
architecture at the Norwegian Institute of Technology.

Atmel says it is nothing more than only product name.
