Atmel lancerer 6-pin MCU-familie
Atmel introducerer nu 6-pin microncontroller-familie med en markant højere ydelse og integrationsniveau end sammenlignelige MCU'er (in english).
Atmel has announced its new picoPower AVR ATtiny10, with 1K bytes of programmable Flash memory, and 32 bytes of internal SRAM. With up to 12 MIPS of processing throughput, 8-bit A/D converter, analog comparator, and a 16-bit timer with PWM, this 6-pin device is a perfect single-chip solution for size and cost constrained high volume consumer applications.
Using the AVR CPU the ATtiny10 provides six times the performance of any other similar sized microcontroller in the market, claims Atmel. This processing efficiency significantly reduces the time in active mode and increases the time spent in power saving sleep modes, combined with Atmel’s picoPower technology this ensures industry leading power consumption numbers.
- When you see the 2x3 mm SOT-23 package you get surprised by the high performance inside a small device. It houses an analog comparator, four A/D converter channels, a 16-bit timer counter that can run two phase and frequency correct PWM outputs, and last but not least a very powerful CPU, says Jukka Eskelinen, Director, tinyAVR Product Marketing.
- If your application needs more processing power, lower current consumption, or if you just want a change the ATtiny10 is your solution.
All tinyAVR microcontrollers use the standard AVR microcontroller development tools. The AVR Studio AVR integrated development environment is available free of charge on Atmel’s website.
Samples of the ATtiny10 are available now. Volume price for 10k units is USD $0.35.
