Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 microcontrollers from Atmel. Part of Atmel’s new AVR Tiny portfolio, these small 8-bit microcontrollers are optimized for applications that require performance, power efficiency, and ease of use in a small package.
The Atmel ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 microcontrollers, available from Mouser Electronics, are low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontrollers based on the Atmel AVR-enhanced RISC architecture. The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 16 general purpose working registers directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), which streamlines instructions in a single clock cycle. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the devices achieve throughputs close to 1 MIPS per MHz (up to 12 MIPS), allowing system designers to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The ATtiny102/104 devices replace the discrete components previously used to perform simple intelligent functions such as timing, motor control, and on/off functionality. At the same time, the devices provide more capabilities than discrete components and integrate powerful features in a small, low-pincount package with just 1kB of flash memory. The devices include self-programming for firmware upgrades, non-volatile data storage, and accurate internal oscillator to provide more reliable motor control, and high-speed serial communication with USART. The devices operate via voltages ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V, include a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal voltage references, and offer sleep currents at less than 100nA in power down mode with SRAM retention.
