ATTINY11-6PI

Overview

The ATTINY11-6PI is an 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC architecture, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1K byte of Flash program memory and 32 general-purpose working registers. The device operates within a voltage range of 4.0V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz. It is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package.

Feature Summary

• AVR RISC architecture delivering up to 1 MIPS throughput at 8 MHz
• Low-power CMOS process technology with idle and power-down modes
• Integrated 8-bit timer/counter and programmable watchdog timer
• On-chip analog comparator and interrupt/wake-up capabilities

Applications

• Embedded control systems
• Battery-powered devices requiring low power consumption
• Simple sensor interfaces
• Basic logic control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (6) matches the required operational frequency of 6 MHz. Confirm the package type (PI) corresponds to the 8-pin PDIP format. Check for current availability status as this component may be subject to lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective 8-bit solution with minimal I/O requirements is needed. Ensure the operating voltage range of 4.0V to 5.5V aligns with the system power supply. Consider the limited Flash memory size for firmware complexity and verify that the 6 MHz speed meets real-time processing demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATtiny11/12 family, which are entry-level 8-bit microcontrollers designed for simple embedded tasks. The ATtiny11 variant specifically lacks EEPROM, distinguishing it from the ATtiny12 model. It utilizes the standard AVR instruction set compatible with various development tools.

Replacement Considerations

ATtiny11L-6PI offers a lower voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. ATtiny12-6PI provides additional 64 bytes of EEPROM data memory while maintaining similar performance characteristics.
