ATTINY1606-SNR

Overview

The ATTINY1606-SNR is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Microchip Technology, featuring a 20 MHz maximum clock frequency and 16 KB of Flash program memory. It includes 1 KB of SRAM and 256 B of EEPROM. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports a 10-bit ADC with 12 channels. Packaged in a 20-SOIC format for surface mount installation, it provides 18 I/O pins and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an 8-bit AVR core processor with hardware multiplier capabilities
• Includes a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with multiple input channels
• Supports standard communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, and USART

Applications

• General-purpose embedded control systems
• Sensor interface modules requiring analog signal processing
• Low-power industrial monitoring devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SNR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the operating temperature grade matches the application requirements, as variants exist for different thermal ranges. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOIC-20 package before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 16 KB of non-volatile storage and 1 KB of RAM are sufficient for the application logic. Consider the 18 available I/O lines and 12 ADC channels for peripheral connectivity needs. Evaluate the 20 MHz performance limit against system timing constraints to ensure adequate processing speed without unnecessary power consumption.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATtiny family of 8-bit microcontrollers, designed for cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications. It utilizes the AVR architecture known for efficient code execution. The SOIC-20 package offers a compact solution for designs requiring moderate pin counts while maintaining surface-mount compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

Check the ATTINY1606-SN variant if tube packaging is preferred over tape-and-reel. Verify electrical specifications against other members of the ATtiny series for potential cross-compatibility regarding pinouts and register sets.
