The Microchip ATMEGA168-15MD is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller with 16 KB Flash and 1 KB RAM. It operates at 16 MHz with a supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V. This device includes brown-out detection, POR, PWM, and WDT. Packaged in a 32-VFQFN with exposed pad, it operates from -40°C to +150°C, making it ideal for extreme high-temperature applications.
- Extreme Temperature Rating: -40°C to +150°C enables deployment in environments where standard MCUs fail.
- Efficient AVR Core: Single-cycle instruction execution maximizes throughput at 16MHz.
- Wide Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.5V supports both battery and regulated supply designs.
- Compact Thermal Package: 32-VFQFN with exposed pad aids heat dissipation in high-temperature settings.
High-Temperature Downhole Sensors
Rated for 150°C, this MCU can operate in oil and gas exploration equipment where standard electronics fail. The 16MHz AVR core processes sensor data reliably.
Automotive Engine Bay Modules
With a 150°C rating and 5.5V supply, it can be placed near engines or exhaust systems. The brown-out detector ensures reset during cranking.
Industrial Oven Controllers
The high-temperature rating allows direct mounting inside industrial ovens or near heating elements. The PWM module controls heating elements with precision.
LED Lighting Drivers
The 32-VFQFN package and PWM outputs make it suitable for compact LED drivers. The POR and WDT enhance reliability in constant-operation fixtures.
Avionics Sensors
While not certified, the 150°C rating supports high-temperature sensor interfaces in non-critical avionics applications. The small package saves weight.
Power Electronics
For converters operating in hot environments, this MCU can manage protection and control loops. The brown-out detector prevents erratic behavior during power dips.
