ATMEGA48PA-AU
ATMEGA48PA-AU - 8-Bit AVR 20MHz 4KB Flash MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATMEGA48PA-AU is an 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller with 4 KB of in-system programmable Flash, 256 bytes of EEPROM, and 512 bytes of SRAM, running at up to 20 MHz and housed in a 32-pin TQFP (7x7 mm) package. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V and provides 23 general-purpose I/O lines.
An 8-bit microcontroller is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program memory, data memory, and peripherals such as timers, serial interfaces, and analog-to-digital converters. Within the semiconductor taxonomy, the ATmega48PA sits in the AVR family, which belongs to the 8-bit microcontroller class, itself a subset of embedded processors and microcontrollers. The picoPower architecture is designed for battery-powered and always-on embedded systems where deterministic real-time response matters more than raw throughput.
Key features include 4 KB ISP Flash with 10,000 write/erase cycles, 256 bytes EEPROM with 100,000 write cycles, 512 bytes SRAM, 23 programmable I/O lines, and three flexible timer/counters with compare and PWM modes. The device integrates a 10-bit ADC with 8 channels, a programmable watchdog timer, and internal calibrated RC oscillator, reducing external component count.
The ATmega48PA uses the AVR enhanced RISC architecture with 131 powerful instructions, most executing in a single clock cycle, achieving up to 20 MIPS at 20 MHz. The picoPower technology delivers sub-1 uA power-down current, making it suitable for battery-operated sensor nodes and portable instruments.
Typical applications include industrial control panels, consumer appliance control, battery management, sensor signal conditioning, and low-power IoT edge nodes. The 32-pin TQFP footprint is shared across the ATmega48PA/88PA/168PA/328P family, allowing firmware and PCB reuse with memory scaling.
When designing with this device, decouple every VCC pin with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin, and use a 10 uF bulk capacitor on the board rail. The internal 8 MHz RC oscillator can eliminate the external crystal in cost-sensitive designs, but external crystals are recommended when UART baud accuracy or USB timing is critical.
