Microchip Technology, Inc. Microcontrollers ATMEGA8515-16MU

The ATmega8515-16MU is an 8-bit microcontroller from the AVR series, designed for high performance and low power consumption. It operates at a maximum speed of 16 MHz, achieving up to 16 MIPS throughput. The microcontroller features 8KB of in-system self-programmable Flash memory, 512 bytes of EEPROM, and 512 bytes of SRAM, with a programming endurance of 10,000 write/erase cycles for Flash and 100,000 for EEPROM. This device includes a variety of peripheral features such as one 8-bit and one 16-bit timer/counter, three PWM channels, a programmable serial USART, and a master/slave SPI interface. It also supports multiple interrupt sources and has built-in power-on reset and programmable brown-out detection. The ATmega8515-16MU is available in several package types, including a 44-lead QFN and a 40-pin PDIP, and operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. With 35 programmable I/O lines and various sleep modes, this microcontroller is suitable for a wide range of embedded applications. Its internal calibrated RC oscillator and true read-while-write operation enhance its functionality for system designers.
