ATTINY13V-10SSI

Overview

The ATTINY13V-10SSI is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip Technology, featuring a low-power CMOS architecture. It integrates 1 KByte of In-System Programmable Flash, 64 Bytes of EEPROM, and 64 Bytes of Internal SRAM. The device operates within a voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports maximum clock frequencies up to 10 MHz at 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It utilizes an advanced RISC core with 120 instructions, most executing in a single clock cycle. Key peripherals include a 4-channel 10-bit ADC, an 8-bit Timer/Counter with two PWM channels, a programmable Watchdog Timer, and an on-chip analog comparator. The component is housed in an 8-lead Plastic Gull-Wing Small Outline (JEDEC SOIC) package.

Feature Summary

• Advanced RISC Architecture: Executes powerful instructions in a single clock cycle for efficient processing.
• Non-volatile Memory: Includes self-programmable Flash, EEPROM, and SRAM with high endurance ratings.
• Peripheral Integration: Features a 4-channel 10-bit ADC, 8-bit Timer/Counter with PWM, and an analog comparator.
• Low Power Operation: Supports Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, and Power-down modes for optimized energy consumption.

Applications

• Battery-powered embedded systems requiring low power consumption
• Simple sensor interfaces utilizing the internal ADC
• Basic control logic applications with limited I/O requirements
• Cost-sensitive consumer electronics using small form-factor packages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'SSI' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-lead SOIC variant. Confirm that the speed grade corresponds to the required operating voltage and frequency constraints for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 8-bit MCU with minimal I/O and integrated ADC is required. The 'V' suffix indicates support for lower supply voltages starting at 1.8 V, suitable for battery-operated devices. Consider the trade-off between the 10 MHz maximum speed and the low power consumption characteristics. Verify that the 64-byte SRAM and 1 KB Flash are sufficient for the intended firmware complexity.

Part Context

This device belongs to the ATtiny13 family, which represents one of the smallest members of the AVR microcontroller portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with larger ATtiny variants but offers reduced pin counts and memory sizes. The family is designed for applications where space and cost are critical constraints, providing essential microcontroller functionality in a highly integrated package.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATtiny13 variants such as ATTINY13V-10SU or ATTINY13V-10PU, depending on the required package style. Cross-referencing datasheets is necessary to ensure pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment. Note that non-'V' versions may have different minimum operating voltage requirements.
