The ATMEGA8515-16AU is an 8-bit high-performance, low-power AVR RISC-based microcontroller manufactured by ATMEL (now Microchip Technology). It combines 8kB of programmable flash memory, 512B of EEPROM, and has the capability to interface with up to 64kB of external SRAM. This microcontroller operates at a clock frequency of up to 16 MHz, supporting a throughput of 16 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), achieving throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz by executing instructions in a single clock cycle. It balances power consumption and processing speed efficiently.
Key features of the ATMEGA8515-16AU include:
- Advanced RISC Architecture: The AVR core integrates a rich instruction set with 32 general-purpose working registers, all directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). This allows two independent registers to be accessed in a single instruction executed in one clock cycle, resulting in a more code-efficient architecture and faster throughputs compared to conventional CISC microcontrollers.
- On-chip Multiplier: The device features a 2-cycle multiplier for rapid arithmetic operations.
- Non-volatile Memories: The ATMEGA8515-16AU offers both program and data memories that retain their contents even when power is removed.
- Peripheral Features: It includes a programmable serial USART (Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) for communication purposes.
- Power Management: The microcontroller supports power-on reset (POR) and programmable brown-out detection to ensure stable operation under varying power conditions. It also features three sleep modes—Idle, Power-down, and Standby—to minimize power consumption when not in active use.
- Package and Dimensions: The ATMEGA8515-16AU is packaged in a 44-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Package) format, with dimensions of 10.1 mm x 10.1 mm x 1.05 mm.
- Operating Conditions: It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and supports a power supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V (with a maximum of 5.5V and a typical minimum of 4.5V, depending on the source).
Overall, the ATMEGA8515-16AU is a versatile and powerful microcontroller suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, computing, and computer peripheral devices, where low power consumption, high performance, and advanced features are required.
