Overview

The ATTINY10-TSHR is a small 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip's ATtiny family. It comes in a compact SOT-23-6 package and includes 1 KB of Flash memory, making it a fit for very small embedded control tasks. Its 12 MHz rated operating speed and minimal pin count make it useful when board space and BOM cost matter more than extensive peripheral count.

Why Choose This Part

The main advantage of the ATTINY10-TSHR is its very small size, which helps when PCB area is tight. It is also a straightforward AVR part, so it fits well into established Microchip AVR toolchains and small embedded workflows. For simple tasks, it can reduce cost and complexity compared with larger microcontrollers.

Applications

Simple control logic
Good for replacing discrete logic or adding a small amount of programmable behavior to a product.
LED and indicator control
Useful for driving status LEDs, blink patterns, and simple timed outputs.
Sensor front-end helper
Can read a small number of signals and handle thresholding, timing, or debounce tasks near the sensor.
Compact consumer accessories
Fits tiny, low-pin-count functions in adapters, chargers, toys, and other cost-sensitive products.
Prototyping and education
A practical choice for learning AVR basics and building very small breadboard or adapter-board projects.

Getting Started

Use Microchip's AVR development flow, typically with MPLAB X and a compatible AVR programming/debug setup for supported devices. For hands-on work, the tiny SOT-23-6 package usually benefits from an adapter board or a custom breakout, since direct breadboarding is not practical. Start with a minimal firmware project that verifies clocking, GPIO, and programming access before adding application code.
