ATTINY12V-1PC

Overview

The ATTINY12V-1PC is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller featuring a 1K byte Flash program memory and 64 bytes of in-system programmable EEPROM. It operates within a voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V with a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 MHz. The device utilizes the high-performance AVR RISC architecture, executing most instructions in a single clock cycle for up to 1 MIPS throughput at 8 MHz. It includes 32 general-purpose working registers, one 8-bit Timer/Counter, an on-chip analog comparator, and a programmable watchdog timer. The component is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package.

Feature Summary

• High-performance 8-bit RISC architecture with up to 90 powerful instructions, most executing in a single clock cycle.
• Nonvolatile memory including 1K byte Flash and 64 bytes EEPROM with programming lock for data security.
• Integrated peripherals such as an 8-bit Timer/Counter, on-chip analog comparator, and programmable watchdog timer.
• Low-power operation with Idle and Power-down modes, supporting wake-up on pin change.

Applications

• Embedded control applications requiring low power consumption
• Battery-powered devices utilizing internal calibrated RC oscillator
• Systems needing in-system programming via SPI port

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code ATTINY12V-1PC against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm availability and compliance with RoHS directives. Ensure the selected package matches the required 8-pin PDIP configuration for your design. Cross-reference speed grades and operating temperature ranges to match application requirements. Confirm that the component status aligns with long-term supply needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage operation down to 1.8V is required alongside minimal peripheral complexity. The ATTINY12V-1PC is suitable for designs prioritizing cost-effectiveness and low power over high-speed processing. Consider the 1.2 MHz speed grade if external clocking is not utilized. Evaluate the need for EEPROM endurance and Flash write cycles against application data retention requirements.
