New standard in microcontrollers? Check out the ATmega168V-10AU

2025-05-06

ATmega168V-10AU is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip, designed for low-power operation and versatile applications. It enables the implementation of advanced functions in compact electronic devices. It features communication interfaces such as SPI, I²C (TWI), and UART, making it easy to integrate with other system components. The built-in 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) allows precise measurement of analog sensor signals. Thanks to internal timers, PWM support, and power-saving modes, the microcontroller is well-suited for applications such as motor control, LED lighting, and automation systems.

Key features:

Memory and Architecture:

  • 8-bit architecture ensures simplicity and fast operation with low resource usage.
  • 16 kB of FLASH memory for storing moderately sized programs.
  • 1 kB of SRAM for variables and runtime data.
  • 512 bytes of EEPROM for non-volatile data storage, such as user settings.

Packaging and Mounting:

  • TQFP-32 package – a thin, square 32-pin surface-mount package (SMD) for compact PCB designs.

Power and Performance:

  • Operates within a voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, providing design flexibility.
  • Supports up to 10 MHz clock frequency, suitable for many real-time applications.
  • Designed for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, allowing reliable operation in harsh environments.

I/O and Peripherals:

  • Offers 23 programmable I/O lines, configurable as digital inputs or outputs.
  • Built-in 10-bit ADC enables measurement of analog voltages—ideal for sensor interfacing.
  • Supports popular communication protocols:
    • USART – for serial communication (e.g., with a PC),
    • SPI – for fast communication with memory devices or peripherals,
    • TWI (I²C) – for interfacing with sensors or other microcontrollers.

Applications:

Thanks to its low power consumption and rich set of peripherals, the ATMEGA168V-10AU is well-suited for:

  • IoT devices.
  • Battery-powered systems.
  • Home automation.
  • Measurement instruments.
  • Educational and hobbyist projects.
