ATTINY40-SU
ATTINY40-SU - 12MHz 8-Bit AVR MCU, 4KB Flash | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATTINY40-SU is a low-power CMOS 8-bit AVR microcontroller with 4 KB In-System Programming Flash memory, 256 B SRAM, 12 general-purpose I/O lines, and a maximum clock frequency of 12 MHz, all housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. It executes the compact AVR enhanced RISC architecture and combines 16 general-purpose working registers with an 8-bit timer/counter featuring two PWM channels.
An 8-bit AVR microcontroller is a compact embedded controller that executes firmware instructions on a Harvard-style architecture, balancing processing capability, memory efficiency, and low power consumption. The AVR family belongs to the broader hierarchy of microcontrollers, embedded processors, and semiconductors. TinyAVR devices are particularly useful for cost-sensitive control, monitoring, signal-generation, and communication tasks where a larger MCU would add unnecessary cost or board area.
Key verified features include 4 KB flash organized as 2K by 16 words, 256 B SRAM, 12 I/O lines, 16 working registers, and an 8-bit timer/counter with two PWM channels. Its 12 MHz maximum frequency provides substantially more instruction throughput than lower-clock ATtiny devices. The 20-pin SOIC package also supports conventional surface-mount assembly while exposing enough pins for power, clock, programming, reset, I/O, and timer functions.
The AVR enhanced RISC architecture supports efficient execution of firmware commonly written for AVR-compatible toolchains. The processor architecture and instruction set should be reviewed against the manufacturer datasheet before porting code, especially when the replacement MCU has a different instruction set, peripheral arrangement, interrupt vector table, or programming interface. The supplied sources do not expose detailed ADC, comparator, timer-resolution, or electrical operating-limit values.
Typical uses include compact industrial controls, LED and general-purpose dimming, simple sensor acquisition, small motor or actuator control, battery-powered monitoring, and embedded interface modules. Its two PWM channels can support timing, dimming, or basic proportional actuator functions, while the 12 I/O lines provide flexibility for switches, indicators, sensors, and external logic.
When designing a PCB, reserve the programming and reset connections, route clock and decoupling pins according to the manufacturer reference layout, and confirm that every external signal remains within the device’s verified voltage limits. Because the verified snippets do not supply a numerical operating-voltage range, ADC resolution, pin electrical limits, or package dimensions, those values must be checked in the official ATtiny40 documentation before release to manufacturing.
This product page combines verified Microchip and distributor data, source-backed availability links, practical application guidance, and explicit data-gap markers. It does not infer unverified electrical specifications or present functional comparators as drop-in replacements when pin or peripheral compatibility has not been demonstrated.
