Product Details

ATMEGA8A-AUR - 8-bit AVR Microcontroller 8KB Flash 16MHz (TQFP-32)

ATMEGA8A-AUR is a low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller originally developed by Atmel (now part of Microchip Technology), featuring 8KB Flash memory, EEPROM, and rich peripheral integration. It is widely used in embedded control, consumer electronics, and industrial automation systems.

This page is written for product identification and engineering selection guidance. Always verify final limits using the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision for design sign-off.

Overview

ATMEGA8A-AUR is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC architecture, offering a balance between performance, power efficiency, and ease of development. It integrates essential peripherals such as timers, ADC, USART, SPI, and I²C (TWI), making it suitable for a wide range of embedded applications.

With a maximum clock frequency of up to 16MHz and low power consumption modes, this device is well suited for both real-time control systems and battery-powered applications. Its mature ecosystem and broad community support make it a reliable choice for engineers and developers.

Selection note: For new designs, consider memory requirements and peripheral needs. While ATMEGA8A is widely supported, newer AVR or ARM-based MCUs may offer enhanced performance and lower power consumption.
