Overview

The ATTINY1616-MNR is a high-performance 8-bit AVR microcontroller featuring 16KB Flash and 2KB SRAM in a compact 20-pin QFN package. It operates at up to 20MHz and includes advanced analog features like a Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) and Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) to reduce CPU overhead in complex tasks.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a hardware multiplier and single-cycle I/O access, providing significantly higher throughput than older 8-bit architectures. Its wide operating voltage of 1.8V to 5.5V and robust feature set, including automated CRC memory scans, make it ideal for reliable embedded systems.

Applications

Capacitive Touch Interfaces
Utilizes the integrated Peripheral Touch Controller for buttons, sliders, and wheels with low power consumption.
Sensor Signal Conditioning
Combines 10-bit ADC, DAC, and analog comparators to process sensor data locally before transmission.
Industrial Control Logic
The Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) allows for simple glue logic and hardware-level state machines without CPU intervention.
Battery-Powered Wearables
Leverages low power modes and an 8.2uA sleep current to extend battery life in small-footprint designs.

Getting Started

Development is supported by Microchip Studio and MPLAB X IDEs using the XC8 compiler. Hardware debugging and programming are performed via the single-pin Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI), typically using a Curiosity Nano board or an ATMEL-ICE.
