ATmega is a family of robust microcontrollers ideal for use in a wide range of arduino and other development type applications. ATmega microcontrollers are commonly an 8-bit microcontroller that feature Reduced Instruction Set (RISC) based Harvard Architecture. Furthermore, Atmega microcontrollers utilise separate program memory and data memory.

Why use ATmega type microcontrollers?

Microcontrollers from the ATmega family feature a wide range of peripherals favoured by many developers. Much like AVR, ATmega microcontrollers are ideal for applications that require peripherals such as:

• On-chip ROM (Read Only Memory)
• Data RAM (Random Access Memory)
• Data EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
• Timers and Input / Output Ports

ATmega microcontrollers also boast extra convenient peripherals such as Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and Serial Interface Ports.

At RS, you will find a wide selection robust and versatile ATmega microcontrollers with various pin profiles to help achieve your desired outcome.
