ATTINY13A-SH

Overview

The ATTINY13A-SH is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller in an 8-pin SOIC package. It features 1 KB of In-System Programmable Flash, 64 bytes EEPROM, and 64 bytes SRAM. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 20 MHz with a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Key peripherals include a 4-channel 10-bit ADC, an analog comparator, and a Timer/Counter with two PWM channels. It supports debugWIRE debugging and SPI programming.

Feature Summary

• AVR enhanced RISC architecture delivering up to 20 MIPS throughput at 20 MHz
• Integrated 4-channel 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with internal reference
• On-chip debugWIRE system for single-pin programming and debugging
• Multiple low-power sleep modes including Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, and Power-down

Applications

• Battery-powered consumer devices requiring low active current
• Simple sensor interface applications utilizing the integrated ADC
• Basic motor or lighting control using PWM outputs
• Cost-sensitive embedded systems needing in-system reprogrammability

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'SH' corresponds to the specific 8-pin SOIC industrial temperature grade variant. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the industrial specifications provided in the datasheet. Ensure the design accounts for the 8-pin physical footprint and pinout configuration before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 8-pin solution is required for basic control tasks. It is suitable for designs prioritizing low power consumption and minimal external components. Consider the limited I/O count and memory size against application requirements. Verify compatibility with existing development tools supporting the AVR architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATtiny13A family, which offers high performance and low power in small packages. The series is designed for applications where code space and pin count are constrained. It shares core architectural features with other members but differs in package options and specific peripheral availability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the ATtiny13A family such as ATTINY13A-SSU or ATTINY13A-SSH. Ensure any substitute maintains the same package type and electrical characteristics. Verify firmware compatibility if migrating between variants.
