Low power consumption: enabling longer battery life, especially criticalLow power consumption: enabling longer battery life, especially critical in portable products including wireless networking applications. Enhanced determinism: guaranteeing that critical tasks and interruptsg g p are serviced as quickly as possible and in a known number of cycles. Ease of use: providing easier programmability and debugging for the b f b d b bgrowing number of 8-bit and 16-bit users migrating to 32 bits. Lower cost solutions: reducing 32-bit-based system costs close to those of legacy 8 bit and 16 bit devices and enabling low end 32 bitof legacy 8-bit and 16-bit devices and enabling low-end, 32-bit microcontrollers to be priced at less than US$1 for the first time.

CPU Registers • Thereare 16 registers, which are of 32 bit wide. • Register R0-R12 are general purpose registers. • Register R13 is used as the stack pointer• Register R13 is used as the stack pointer. • There are two stacks i.e. main stack and process stack depends upon in which mode the processor is working. • R14 is the link register, which is used to store the return address of procedure call. For nested calls the compiler will automatically store the R14 on the stack. • R15 is the normal program counter. 11
