The ATMEGA48A-AU is an 8-bit microcontroller component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It belongs to the high-performance AVR RISC architecture family and is widely used in various applications due to its versatility and low power consumption. Here are some key features of this IC component:
1. Microcontroller Core: The ATMEGA48A-AU is powered by an advanced RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) core with 32 general-purpose registers. It offers a wide range of instructions, allowing for efficient and optimized execution of tasks.
2. Operating Frequency: This microcontroller operates at a maximum frequency of 20 MHz, providing fast and responsive performance for real-time applications.
3. Flash Memory: It features 4 KB of in-system self-programmable Flash memory, which allows for the easy and flexible storage of program codes in a non-volatile memory.
4. EEPROM: The component also includes 256 bytes of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). EEPROM memory provides long-term data storage even when the power is turned off, making it suitable for saving configuration settings and other important data.
5. SRAM: It incorporates 512 bytes of static Random-Access Memory (SRAM). SRAM is the working memory of the microcontroller and is used for storing variables and intermediate data during program execution
