## Description

The ATMEGA2560-16AUR is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit microcontroller based on the Microchip AVR enhanced RISC architecture. It is the controller IC used at the heart of the Arduino Mega and many other advanced controller boards, making it a strong choice for complex embedded projects that need plenty of I/O and program space.With instructions executed in a single clock cycle, the ATmega2560 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, helping balance processing speed and power consumption. Its large memory resources suit applications with bigger codebases, complex logic or multiple software libraries.Connectivity is a major strength, with 86 general-purpose I/O lines and a broad peripheral set for sensors, actuators, displays, buttons and other components. This ATMEGA2560-16AUR variant is intended for 5V logic systems, comes in a surface-mount package and is rated for industrial temperature operation.Features:High-performance, low-power 8-bit microcontroller based on the Microchip AVR enhanced RISC architecture.Powerful IC at the heart of the Arduino Mega and many other advanced controller boards.Ideal choice for complex projects that demand a massive amount of I/O and a large program memory.Executes powerful instructions in a single clock cycle.Achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz.Equipped with 256KB of Flash for program code.Equipped with 8KB of SRAM for runtime variables.Equipped with 4KB of EEPROM for non-volatile data storage.Provides 86 general-purpose I/O lines.16-channel, 10-bit A/D converter for reading numerous analogue sensors.Communication interfaces include I2C, SPI and UART/USART.EBI/EMI (External Bus Interface) for applications requiring external memory.On-chip debug and programming support.Brown-out Detect/Reset support.Power-on Reset (POR) support.Multiple PWM channels.Watchdog Timer (WDT).Operates at 16 MHz.Supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V.Suitable for 5V logic systems.Surface-mount package.Rated for the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).Specifications:Core Processor: AVRCore Size: 8-BitSpeed: 16MHzConnectivity: EBI/EMI, I2C, SPI, UART/USARTPeripherals: Brown-out Detect/Reset, POR, PWM, WDTNumber of I/O: 86Program Memory Size: 256KB (128K x 16)Program Memory Type: FLASHEEPROM Size: 4K x 8RAM Size: 8K x 8Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd): 4.5V ~ 5.5VData Converters: A/D 16x10bOscillator Type: InternalOperating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (TA)Mounting Type: Surface MountMfg #: ATMEGA2560-16AURA useful bare microcontroller IC for designers building or repairing advanced AVR-based boards that need extensive I/O, multiple serial interfaces and large on-chip memory.
