The ATTINY48-MU is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is part of the ATTiny series microcontrollers and is designed for low-level, low-power applications. This versatile IC offers several key features that make it ideal for a wide range of applications:
1. Microcontroller: The ATTINY48-MU is a 8-bit microcontroller with a powerful RISC architecture. It operates at a speed of up to 20 MHz and offers 4KB of flash memory for program storage.
2. Memory and Storage: In addition to the 4KB of flash memory, this IC also has 256 bytes of SRAM and 256 bytes of EEPROM. It provides efficient storage options to accommodate program code, data, and configuration settings.
3. I/O Pins: The ATTINY48-MU offers a total of 14 I/O pins, including 12 general-purpose I/O pins and two dedicated analog input pins. These pins can be configured to interface with various sensors, actuators, and other peripherals.
4. Communication Interfaces: It supports multiple communication interfaces, including Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) for serial communication and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) for synchronous serial communication.
5. Timers and Counters: The IC features two 8-bit timers/counters with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) capabilities and one 16-bit timer/counter for precise timing and event counting functionality
