ATXMEGA16A4-AU
ATXMEGA16A4-AU - 32MHz 16KB AVR MCU | Microchip Technology
The Microchip Technology ATXMEGA16A4-AU is a low-power, high-performance 8/16-bit AVR XMEGA A4 microcontroller with a 32 MHz clock, 16 KB self-programming Flash memory, 2 KB SRAM, and 1 KB EEPROM in a 44-pin TQFP package. According to the Microchip product page, the device is not recommended for new designs and should be replaced by an XMEGA AU-series device.
An AVR XMEGA microcontroller is an embedded-control semiconductor that combines an enhanced RISC processor core, Flash program memory, SRAM, EEPROM, event-system hardware, direct-memory-access support, and multiple communication peripherals. It belongs to the hierarchy of 8/16-bit microcontroller, embedded processor, and system-on-chip products intended for control-oriented products where deterministic event handling, low-power operation, and extensive on-chip peripherals can reduce external component count.
The ATXMEGA16A4 family provides 16 KB self-programming Flash with Read-While-Write capability, including a 4 KB boot-code section, and supplies up to 34 general-purpose I/O lines. Its four-channel DMA controller and eight-channel Event System can move data and trigger peripherals without repeated CPU intervention. The peripheral set includes a 16-bit real-time counter, five flexible 16-bit timer/counters with compare and PWM modes, and multiple USART and serial-interface resources for connected industrial and consumer equipment.
The device supports an operating supply range of 1.6 V to 3.6 V, while common 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V rails are identified in the comparison information. It can execute at 32 MHz and is positioned for applications requiring up to 32 MIPS throughput. Its event system and hardware DMA are especially useful when timing relationships between sensors, timers, communication blocks, and control outputs must remain deterministic without continuous software polling.
Typical uses include industrial control modules, compact sensor nodes, data-acquisition controllers, communication equipment, low-power embedded instruments, and compact consumer devices. The 44-pin TQFP package provides enough I/O for mixed analog and digital control systems while remaining compatible with conventional surface-mount assembly. The large SRAM and EEPROM also support buffered protocol handling, parameter storage, calibration records, and firmware state that would otherwise require external memory.
Design should account for the 1.6 V to 3.6 V operating range and confirm that attached peripherals use voltage-compatible signal levels. Decoupling, clock stability, programming access, and exposed peripheral routing should follow the pin-description and recommended-circuit diagrams in the manufacturer datasheet. Firmware migration should also confirm boot-loader behavior, peripheral differences, and clock settings before reusing an existing ATXMEGA16A4 design in a new product.
This page consolidates the device architecture, verified manufacturer and distributor specifications, same-footprint family alternatives, and practical replacement guidance. It also distinguishes direct procurement information from design parameters so engineers can evaluate the obsolete-position device, migration options, and application fit without relying on a raw listing alone.
