Next-Generation AVR® Microcontrollers (MCUs)

Microchip next-generation AVR Dx and Ex MCU families help accelerate user designs

Image of Microchip Next-Generation AVR® Microcontrollers (MCUs)Evolved from the Microchip tinyAVR® and megaAVR® devices, AVR MCUs offer exceptional performance, power efficiency, and flexibility for a wide range of embedded applications. With easily customizable peripherals and premier code-efficient architecture, users can implement multiple functions on a single chip with seamless and minimal programming through the Microchip development ecosystem.

Core independent peripherals (CIPs) and integrated analog peripherals are blocks of on-chip configurable hardware intelligence that require little to no code, consume minimal power, and operate autonomously from the central processing unit (CPU). CIPs enable users to reduce power consumption, improve response times, speed development, and lower bill of materials (BOM) costs.

  • Up to 128 KB of Flash memory
  • Integrated 12-bit ADCs with PGA
  • CIPs for reduced external components
  • Peripheral touch controller (PTC) for robust and reliable capacitive touch sensing
  • Operational amplifiers (op amps) for integrated analog signal conditioning
  • USB support with built-in CIPs for real-time control and seamless connectivity
  • Multi-voltage IO (MVIO) for seamless voltage level shifting
  • Optimized for user interface applications with built-in touch functionality
  • Support for motor control applications with advanced timers
  • Functional safety features targeting ISO 26262, IEC 61508 (Industrial Applications) and IEC 60730 (Home Appliances – available for free)
