ATMEGA8515L-8JC - 8KB AVR MCU 8MHz 44-PLCC | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATMEGA8515L-8JC is an 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller with 8KB of In-System Programmable Flash memory, 544 bytes of internal SRAM (expandable to 64KB external), 512 bytes of EEPROM, and up to 8 MIPS throughput at its 8MHz maximum clock frequency, housed in a 44-pin PLCC (J-Lead, 16.6 x 16.6 mm) surface-mount package.
An 8-bit microcontroller is an integrated circuit that integrates a processor core, program memory, data memory, and peripherals such as timers, PWM generators, and communication interfaces onto a single chip. The AVR family, originally developed by Atmel and now maintained by Microchip Technology, is a classic RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture: 130 powerful instructions, most executing in a single clock cycle, feeding a Harvard-architecture pipeline that delivers approximately one MIPS per MHz.
Key features of the ATMEGA8515L-8JC include its wide 2.7V to 5.5V operating voltage range (the L speed grade permits full-rated 8MHz operation across the entire supply range), In-System Programmable Flash enabling field firmware updates, and integrated Brown-out Detect/Reset, Power-on Reset, PWM, and Watchdog Timer peripherals. It also supports up to 64KB of external SRAM expansion via its external memory interface, making it suitable for applications outgrowing internal RAM.
On the technical side, the device provides 35 general-purpose I/O lines in the 44-pin package, a UART for serial communication, an SPI interface, 8-bit and 16-bit timers with PWM outputs, and an analog comparator. Fully static operation allows the clock to be stopped without loss of register contents, supporting aggressive low-power designs.
Typical applications include industrial control and automation, consumer electronics, legacy embedded systems maintenance, motor control, and instrumentation where a proven 8-bit architecture, external memory expandability, and PLCC through-hole-serviceable footprint are valued.
A key design consideration: the commercial-grade C suffix limits operation to 0C to +70C; industrial designs must select the I-variant instead. Also verify PLCC socket availability early, as this package style is increasingly legacy.
