ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8271H-AVR- ATmega-Datasheet_08/2014
The ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P provides the following features: 4K/8Kbytes of In-System 
Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write capabilities, 256/512/512/1Kbytes EEPROM, 512/1K/1K/2Kbytes 
SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible Timer/Counters with 
compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial programmable USART, a byte-oriented 2-wire Serial 
Interface, an SPI serial port, a 6-channel 10-bit ADC (8 channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages), a 
programmable Watchdog Timer with internal Oscillator, and five software selectable power saving modes. The 
Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, USART, 2-wire Serial Interface, SPI port, 
and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the 
Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Power-save mode, the 
asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is 
sleeping. The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer and 
ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is 
running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low power 
consumption. 
Atmel
®
 offers the QTouch
®
 library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels functionality into 
AVR
®
 microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers robust sensing and includes fully 
debounced reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key Suppression
®
 (AKS
) technology for 
unambiguous detection of key events. The easy-to-use QTouch Suite toolchain allows you to explore, develop 
and debug your own touch applications.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The On-chip ISP Flash 
allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional 
non-volatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip Boot program running on the AVR core. The Boot program 
can use any interface to download the application program in the Application Flash memory. Software in the 
Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-
While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a 
monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P is a powerful microcontroller that provides a 
highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system 
development tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators, In-Circuit 
Emulators, and Evaluation kits.
