Unmatched Performance and Efficiency in a Small Package

Atmel tinyAVR devices are optimized for applications that require performance, power efficiency, and ease of use in a small package. All tinyAVR devices are based on the same architecture and compatible with other AVR devices. Integrated ADC, EEPROM memory and Brown out detector let you build applications without adding external components. tinyAVR offers flash memory and on-chip debug for fast, secure, cost-effective in-circuit upgrades that significantly cuts your time to market.

The tinyAVR offers an unrivalled combination of miniaturization, processing power, analog performance, and system-level integration. The tinyAVR is the most compact device in the AVR family and the only device capable of operating at just 0.7V. And there’s nothing tiny about that.

Couple your tinyAVR designs with our CryptoAuthentication™ device for an added level of security against hackers and cloners.

Key Features

Small — Atmel tinyAVR devices are designed specifically for applications where size and cost are critical. The smallest tinyAVR measures only 1.5mm x 1.4mm. You can employ the tinyAVR as a single chip solution in small systems. Or use them to deliver glue logic and distributed intelligence in larger systems.
Capacitive Touch — Atmel QTouch® Library makes it simple to embed capacitive-touch button, slider, and wheel functionality into general-purpose Atmel AVR® microcontroller applications. The royalty-free QTouch Library provides several library files for each device and supports different numbers of touch channels, enabling both flexibility and efficiency in touch application.
Fast and code efficient — The AVR CPU gives the tinyAVR devices the same high performance as our larger AVR devices, and several times the processing power of any similarly-sized competitor. Flexible and versatile, they feature high code efficiency that lets them fit a broad range of applications.
High integration — Each pin has multiple uses as I/O, ADC, and PWM. Even the reset pin can be reconfigured as an I/O pin. tinyAVR features a Universal Serial Interface (USI) which can be used as SPI, UART or TWI.
0.7V operation — Where most microcontrollers require 1.8V or more to operate, the tinyAVR with boost regulator boosts the voltage from a single AA or AAA battery into a stable 3V supply to power the entire application.
