ATTINY13V-10MMU

Overview

The ATTINY13V-10MMU is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly Atmel. It features a 1KB in-system programmable Flash memory, 64 bytes of EEPROM, and 64 bytes of SRAM. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes picoPower technology for low-power operation, with a maximum clock frequency of 10MHz at the specified voltage levels. The component is housed in a 10-VFDFN (MLP) surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates picoPower technology enabling dynamic clock frequency adjustment for optimized power consumption versus performance balance.
• Features an enhanced 8-bit AVR RISC core executing most instructions in a single clock cycle for efficient processing.
• Includes debugWIRE on-chip debugging system supporting in-system programming via SPI interface.

Applications

• Low-power embedded sensor nodes
• Battery-operated portable devices
• Simple control logic in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Microchip Technology, noting the historical acquisition of Atmel. Confirm the specific suffix MMU corresponds to the 10-VFDFN package variant. Ensure compliance requirements such as RoHS status are checked against current datasheets, as legacy product statuses may change. Cross-reference the speed grade 10MHz with the operating voltage conditions defined in the official electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 8-bit solution with minimal I/O is required for cost-sensitive applications. The 10-pin footprint suits space-constrained designs where through-hole packages are unsuitable. Consider the trade-off between the limited 1KB program memory and the low power draw inherent to the ATtiny architecture. Verify that the analog peripheral count meets the specific signal conditioning needs of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATtinyAVR family, which provides miniaturization and system-level integration for embedded designers. As a legacy device within the portfolio, it shares architectural similarities with other ATtiny series members but offers distinct pin counts and memory configurations. The V suffix indicates low-voltage operation capabilities, while the 10 denotes the maximum operational frequency rating.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the ATtiny13 family such as ATTINY13A-MMU or ATTINY13V-10MU, provided the package type matches. Verify pin compatibility and memory size before swapping. Newer Microchip families may offer enhanced features but require schematic and firmware adjustments due to architectural differences.
