ATMEGA8-16MU

The ATMEGA8-16MU is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip Technology. It boasts an advanced RISC architecture with 130 powerful instructions, most executing in a single clock cycle, enabling up to 16 MIPS throughput at 16MHz.

This microcontroller features 8KB of in-system self-programmable Flash program memory, 512 Bytes of EEPROM, and 1KB of internal SRAM. It includes peripherals such as two 8-bit timer/counters, one 16-bit timer/counter, three PWM channels, an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, and a programmable serial USART. Connectivity options include I²C, SPI, and UART/USART interfaces.

Designed for a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, the ATMEGA8-16MU operates at temperatures from -40°C to 85°C (TA). It is available in a 32-VQFN (5x5) package, suitable for surface mounting. Special microcontroller features include power-on reset, programmable brown-out detection, and five sleep modes for power efficiency.

Key specifications include 23 programmable I/O lines, an internal calibrated RC oscillator, and a programmable watchdog timer. The device offers robust memory with high endurance, rated for 10,000 Flash write/erase cycles and 100,000 EEPROM cycles, with data retention of 20 years at 85°C.
