MCHPATMEGA164PA-MUR
Overview
The ATMEGA164PA-MUR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller featuring 16KB of self-programmable flash memory and 1KB of SRAM. This device operates at up to 20MHz and includes an on-chip 2-cycle multiplier and a versatile peripheral set in a compact 44-pin VQFN package. It is designed for applications requiring a balance of efficient processing and low power consumption through its picoPower technology.
Why Choose This Part
The ATMEGA164PA-MUR stands out for its picoPower architecture which minimizes power consumption in active and sleep modes without sacrificing performance. It provides 32 general-purpose working registers and 131 instructions, enabling high execution throughput for complex 8-bit tasks. The inclusion of 512 bytes of EEPROM allows for robust local data logging and parameter storage without external memory.
Applications
Getting Started
Developers can utilize the Microchip Studio IDE or the GCC-based AVR toolchain for firmware development. Hardware debugging is supported via the JTAG or debugWIRE interfaces using tools like the Atmel-ICE. For prototyping, the part is compatible with the STK600 starter kit or custom PCBs designed for its 0.5mm pitch VQFN package.
