Description
The ATMEGA328PB-AU is a high-performance, low-power microcontroller from Microchip, based on the 8-bit AVR RISC architecture. It boasts a range of impressive features, including 64 KB of ISP Flash memory with read-while-write capabilities, 2 KB of EEPROM, 4 KB of SRAM, 27 general-purpose I/O lines, 32 general-purpose working registers, two versatile timer/counters with compare modes and PWM support, one UART with hardware LIN capability, an 11-channel 10-bit A/D converter with two programmable gain input stages, a 10-bit D/A converter, a programmable watchdog timer with an internal oscillator, an SPI serial port, an on-chip debug system, and four selectable power-saving modes. The device can operate within a voltage range of 2.7 to 5.5 volts.
What sets this microcontroller apart is its ability to execute powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, enabling it to achieve throughputs of nearly one million instructions per second per megahertz (MIPS/MHz). This performance is achieved while carefully balancing power consumption and processing speed.
