Atmel ATMEGA162-16PU 8Bit AVR MCU, DIP-40, 16KB Flash, 16MHz

The Atmel ATMEGA162-16PU is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller, ideal for demanding embedded applications. Combining 16kB of programmable flash memory, 1kB SRAM, and 512B EEPROM, this MCU provides a balanced solution for code and data storage. With support for a 16MHz clock frequency and throughput up to 16 MIPS, it delivers efficient processing while operating within a flexible supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V.

The advanced RISC architecture, featuring 32 general-purpose registers directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allows for single-clock-cycle instruction execution. This results in code efficiency and processing speeds up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers. The on-chip 2-cycle multiplier and JTAG (IEEE 1149.1 compliant) interface for on-chip debugging further enhance its capability.

Key Features:

• High endurance, non-volatile memory segments
• Two 8-bit timer/counters with separate prescalers and compare modes
• One 16-bit timer/counter with separate prescaler, compare mode, and capture mode
• Power-on reset (POR) and programmable brown-out detection
• Internal calibrated RC oscillator
• External and internal interrupt sources
• Five sleep modes: Idle, power-save, power-down, standby, and extended standby

Interfaces & I/O:

• Interfaces: SPI, UART
• 35 I/O pins
• 40-pin DIP package

Operating Range:

• Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C
• Supply voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V

This microcontroller is suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial control systems and computer peripherals, providing a reliable and efficient processing core for your design.
