ATMEGA8U2-AU

ATMEGA8U2-AU

Discontinued

The ATMEGA8U2-AU is a low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller with built-in USB support. Based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture, it executes most instructions in a single clock cycle, achieving throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz. It's commonly used as a USB-to-serial bridge on Arduino boards.

This is the TQFP-32 surface-mount package variant, suitable for custom PCB designs and replacement parts.

Key Features

  • AVR RISC Architecture – Single-cycle instruction execution for efficient processing
  • Built-in USB – Full-speed USB 2.0 controller
  • 8KB Flash Memory – In-system programmable with read-while-write capability
  • 512 Bytes EEPROM – Non-volatile data storage
  • 512 Bytes SRAM – Working memory
  • 22 GPIO Pins – General purpose I/O lines
  • 32 Working Registers – Directly connected to ALU for fast execution
