The Microchip ATTINY261A-XUR is a high-performance 8-bit AVR microcontroller in a compact 20-TSSOP package. It delivers 2KB of flash memory and 128 bytes of SRAM, running at up to 20MHz. With a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, it supports both low-power and standard logic levels. Integrated features include a temperature sensor, PWM, brown-out detection, power-on reset, and a watchdog timer, making it a versatile choice for cost-sensitive embedded control applications.
- Ultra-Low Power Operation: The 1.8V minimum supply voltage and optimized sleep modes extend battery life in portable devices.
- Integrated Analog Sensing: The on-chip temperature sensor reduces external component count and simplifies thermal management designs.
- Robust Safety Features: Brown-out detect/reset and watchdog timer prevent system failures in unstable power environments.
- Compact Footprint: The 20-TSSOP package saves PCB space while still offering 18 I/O pins for flexible interfacing.
Battery-Powered Sensor Nodes
The 1.8V minimum supply voltage and low-power sleep modes allow the ATTINY261A-XUR to run for extended periods on coin cells or AA batteries in IoT and remote monitoring devices.
Motor Control for Small Appliances
With 20MHz operation and built-in PWM channels, this MCU can generate precise control signals for brushless DC or stepper motors in fans, pumps, and robotics.
Temperature Monitoring Systems
The integrated temperature sensor eliminates the need for an external thermistor, reducing BOM cost and PCB area in thermostat and environmental logging designs.
LED Lighting and Dimming
Its PWM outputs and 128 bytes of RAM are sufficient for implementing smooth dimming curves and color mixing in RGB LED strips or architectural lighting.
Industrial Safety Interlocks
The brown-out detect/reset and watchdog timer ensure reliable operation in noisy industrial environments, preventing code corruption and system lockups.
Portable Medical Devices
The wide voltage range and -40°C to 85°C temperature tolerance make it suitable for handheld diagnostic tools and wearable health monitors.
