Overview

The ATMEGA164A-MUR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller featuring 16KB of self-programmable flash memory and 1KB of SRAM. Operating at speeds up to 20MHz, it provides an efficient balance of processing power and power consumption for general-purpose embedded designs.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a highly efficient 131-instruction set where most execute in a single clock cycle, complemented by an on-chip 2-cycle multiplier. Its 44-pin VQFN package provides a high I/O-to-footprint ratio with 32 programmable I/O lines for complex peripheral interfacing.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Nodes
Utilizing the 10-bit ADC and low power consumption for monitoring environmental or process data.
Home Automation Controllers
Managing lighting, security, and HVAC interfaces via USART, SPI, and I2C connectivity.
Battery-Powered Handhelds
Taking advantage of the 0.6uA sleep current and multiple power-save modes to extend battery life.
Motor Control
Implementing simple motor drive logic using the integrated PWM channels and internal oscillator.
