ATMEGA88 in ATmega Family
The ATmega88 is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit RISC microcontroller from Microchip Technology, belonging to the AVR megaAVR family. It is designed to bridge the gap between basic entry-level MCUs and high-memory variants, offering a balanced mix of 8KB flash, integrated EEPROM, and versatile analog peripherals. Engineers frequently select the ATmega88 for space-constrained embedded systems requiring reliable performance, deterministic execution, and a well-established development ecosystem supported by AVR-GCC and Microchip Studio.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the ATmega88 sub-family primarily differ based on voltage range, maximum clock frequency, and package type. The ATmega88V is the low-voltage variant capable of operating down to 1.8V for battery conservation, while the standard ATmega88 supports up to 20MHz at 4.5V-5.5V. Package options include 28-pin PDIP, 32-lead TQFP, and 32-pad VQFN/MLF to accommodate different PCB space and assembly requirements.
