The XMEGA A3 uses an 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the AVR CPU is to ensure cor-
rect program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform
calculations and control peripherals. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section.

The AVR uses a Harvard architecture - with separate memories and buses for program and
data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipeline. While one
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory.
