Active6,780 in stock

Overview

The ATTINY424-SSU is a member of the tinyAVR 2 family, featuring an 8-bit AVR processor with a hardware multiplier running at up to 20MHz. This microcontroller integrates 4KB of Flash and 512B of RAM in a compact 14-pin SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained control applications. It includes advanced analog capabilities like a 12-bit differential ADC with a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA).

Why Choose This Part

The integration of a hardware multiplier and a 12-bit differential ADC provides performance typically found in larger MCUs within a 14-pin footprint. It also features an Event System that allows peripherals to communicate without CPU intervention, reducing latency and power consumption.

Applications

Sensor Signal Conditioning
Utilizing the 12-bit differential ADC and PGA to interface directly with low-voltage bridge sensors or thermocouples without external op-amps.
Housekeeping and System Monitoring
Performing power sequencing, voltage monitoring via the ADC, and basic logic replacement in larger embedded systems.
Handheld Portable Devices
Leveraging low-power modes and a wide operating voltage for battery-powered consumer electronics and tools.
Simple Human-Machine Interfaces
Managing buttons, LEDs, and basic display drivers using its 12 GPIO pins and internal PWM capabilities.
