Overview

The ATMEGA128-16AUR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller featuring 128KB of programmable flash memory and 4KB of SRAM. It operates at a maximum frequency of 16MHz and is designed to execute powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, achieving throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz. This device is housed in a 64-pin TQFP package and includes a wide range of peripherals such as an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, JTAG interface for on-chip debugging, and multiple serial communication interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This microcontroller balances a large memory footprint with a robust peripheral set, including an on-chip 2-cycle multiplier and JTAG boundary-scan for simplified testing. Its highly efficient RISC architecture allows for significant processing power at relatively low clock speeds, optimizing power consumption across its six software-selectable sleep modes.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Utilizes 53 programmable I/O lines and integrated timers to manage complex machinery and automation logic.
Communication Gateways
Leverages dual USARTs, SPI, and I2C interfaces to bridge data between different industrial or consumer protocols.
Data Logging
Combines 128KB of flash with 4KB of EEPROM for non-volatile storage of system parameters and sensor logs.
Embedded Web Servers
The 128KB flash capacity supports the implementation of lightweight TCP/IP stacks and basic web hosting for remote monitoring.

Getting Started

Engineers can begin development using the Microchip Studio (formerly Atmel Studio) IDE and the AVR GCC toolchain. Hardware debugging and programming are typically performed via the JTAG interface using the Atmel-ICE or a similar AVR-compatible programmer. Evaluation can be accelerated using standard AVR development boards that support 64-pin TQFP footprints.
