Overview

The ATTINY1604-SSFR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC architecture, capable of running up to 20MHz. Part of the tinyAVR 1-series, it features 16KB of Flash and 1KB of SRAM in a compact 14-pin SOIC package, making it ideal for cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of the Event System and Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) allows for complex hardware interactions without waking the CPU, significantly improving deterministic timing and power efficiency. It also features a hardware multiplier, which is rare for many 8-bit microcontrollers in this pin-count class, enhancing math-heavy application performance.

Applications

Distributed Sensor Nodes
Utilizing the Event System for CPU-independent peripheral communication to reduce power consumption while monitoring environmental data.
User Interface Controllers
Implementing small control panels with the integrated Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) to handle simple logic tasks without CPU intervention.
Industrial Monitoring
Operating in harsh environments with an extended temperature rating of 125C and robust brown-out detection.
Battery-Powered Handhelds
Leveraging sleep currents as low as 8uA in power-down mode to maximize battery life in portable electronics.

Getting Started

Developers can use the MPLAB X IDE or Atmel Studio 7 along with the XC8 compiler for software development. Programming and debugging are performed via the single-pin Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI), typically using a tool like the Atmel-ICE or a Curiosity Nano evaluation board.
