Microchip Technology's ATMEGA16-16MU is a low-power, high-performance 8-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) that belongs to the AVR Enhanced series. It is designed for a wide range of applications, including industrial control, medical devices, and portable electronics.
Description:
The ATMEGA16-16MU is a surface-mount device with a 44-pin QFN (Quad Flat No-leads) package. It features an integrated 16 MHz oscillator, which allows for precise timing and reduced external component requirements. The device also includes 16 KB of in-system programmable Flash memory, 1 KB of EEPROM, and 1 KB of SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) for data storage and program execution.
Features:
- 8-bit AVR Enhanced RISC architecture for high code density and fast execution.
- 16 MHz oscillator with internal calibration for accurate timing.
- 16 KB of in-system programmable Flash memory for non-volatile storage.
- 1 KB of EEPROM for non-volatile data storage.
- 1 KB of SRAM for temporary data storage and program execution.
- 32 general-purpose I/O lines with optional internal pull-up resistors.
- Three 16-bit timer/counters with input capture and output compare.
- Two UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters) for serial communication.
- One 8-channel, 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with programmable gain.
- Programmable watchdog timer with separate on-chip and off-chip reset.
- Sleep, power-down, and power-save modes for low-power operation.
- In-system programming, in-application programming, and debugWIRE for programming and debugging.
- On-chip debug support with JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) interface.
Applications:
- Industrial control systems for automation and monitoring.
- Medical devices for portable monitoring and diagnostic equipment.
- Portable electronics, such as handheld gaming consoles and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
- Home automation and smart home devices.
- Battery-powered devices, such as remote controls and wireless sensors, due to its low-power consumption.
- Data acquisition systems for collecting and processing analog signals.
- Embedded systems in automotive applications, such as infotainment systems and engine control modules.
- Security systems, including access control and surveillance equipment.
