Microchip AVR Flash-based microcontrollers range from the 8-bit, 512 Byte Microchip tinyAVR® with 6 pins to the 32-bit, 512 KB Microchip UC3 with 144-pins. Between these two are the Microchip megaAVR and the AVR XMEGA® families. The megaAVR family offers a complete roadmap of pin, peripheral and memory combinations. Among these will be an MCU that matches the cost, performance and features for one’s application. Microchip picoPower® megaAVR devices are among the industry leaders in ultra-low power consumption. Additionally, all megaAVR devices feature the Microchip 8-bit AVR CPU. Optimized for C-programming language, efficiency and Flash footprint, the AVR has been highly successful with both professionals and hobbyists for more than a decade.
