Overview

The ATTINY416-MFR is a high-performance 8-bit AVR microcontroller featuring 4KB of Flash and 256B of SRAM in a compact 20-VQFN package. It is part of the tinyAVR 1 series, designed with Functional Safety (FuSa) features and Core Independent Peripherals that reduce CPU overhead. Operating at up to 20MHz, it provides a versatile set of analog and digital peripherals for space-constrained embedded designs.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU features an Event System that allows peripherals to communicate directly, significantly reducing latency and power consumption. It includes a hardware multiplier for faster math operations and a robust 128-byte EEPROM for non-volatile data storage. The 3x3mm VQFN package provides 18 I/O pins, offering high pin density for modern PCB layouts.

Applications

Functional Safety Controllers
Utilizes integrated FuSa features for monitoring and safety-critical tasks in industrial environments.
Portable Consumer Electronics
Leverages the ultra-low power modes (0.4uA power-down) to extend battery life in handheld devices.
Sensor Interface Nodes
Uses the 12-channel ADC and Event System to process sensor data without constant CPU intervention.
Small-Scale Motor Control
Employs 6 PWM channels and 16-bit timers for precise control of small motors and actuators.

Getting Started

Developers can program the ATTINY416 using the Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) with tools like the Atmel-ICE or the entry-level MPLAB Snap. The Microchip Curiosity Nano (AC164160) is the recommended development board for rapid prototyping. Software development is supported through MPLAB X IDE and Microchip Studio, utilizing the XC8 compiler.
