ATMEGA8-16AUR

The ATMEGA8-16AUR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip Technology. It features an advanced RISC architecture with 130 instructions, most executed in a single clock cycle, achieving up to 16 MIPS throughput at 16 MHz. The device includes 8KB of in-system self-programmable Flash memory, 1KB internal SRAM, and 512 bytes of EEPROM, with endurance of 10,000 write/erase cycles for Flash and 100,000 cycles for EEPROM. Data retention is rated at 20 years at 85°C and 100 years at 25°C.

Peripheral features include two 8-bit timer/counters, one 16-bit timer/counter with capture and compare modes, three PWM channels, an 8-channel 10-bit ADC (in TQFP package), and serial interfaces: I²C, SPI, and USART. The microcontroller also integrates a programmable watchdog timer, an on-chip analog comparator, and a calibrated internal RC oscillator. Special microcontroller features include power-on reset, programmable brown-out detection, and five sleep modes (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power-save, Power-down, and Standby) for low-power operation.

The device operates from 4.5V to 5.5V and is available in a 32-lead TQFP package (7x7 mm) with 23 programmable I/O lines. It is specified for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The ATMEGA8-16AUR is suitable for a wide range of embedded applications requiring a balance of performance, memory, and low power consumption.
