Overview

The AVR32DU20-I/REB is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's AVR DU family, featuring 32KB of Flash and a built-in USB 2.0 full-speed interface. Operating at up to 24MHz, this MCU integrates core independent peripherals (CIPs) to reduce CPU overhead and power consumption in space-constrained designs.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU eliminates the need for an external crystal for USB operation through its internal high-accuracy oscillator, saving PCB space and reducing BOM cost. The inclusion of Core Independent Peripherals allows for complex timing and logic tasks to be performed while the CPU remains in low-power sleep modes.

Applications

USB Peripheral Conversion
Acts as a cost-effective bridge for converting legacy UART or SPI sensors into USB-compliant HID or CDC devices.
Battery-Powered HID Devices
Low-power operation and integrated USB support make it suitable for wireless mouse dongles and custom mechanical keyboards.
Industrial Status Monitoring
Uses the 10-bit ADC and TWI interfaces to log system health data for retrieval over a standardized USB interface.
Secure Hardware Tokens
Small footprint and USB connectivity allow for the implementation of basic security keys or authentication dongles.

Getting Started

Engineers can begin development using the MPLAB X IDE or Microchip Studio, utilizing the XC8 compiler for C programming. The AVR-DU family is supported by the Curiosity Nano evaluation platform and can be programmed via the integrated USB bootloader or a standard UPDI programmer.
