About this item

The ATmega8A Microcontroller is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller based on AVR RISC architecture, housed in a 32-pin package. It is widely used in embedded systems, automation, robotics, and beginner-friendly electronics projects due to its simplicity and robust feature set. Operating at voltages between 2.7V and 5.5V, it is ideal for both low-voltage and standard 5V applications. The ATmega8A comes with 32 KB of Flash memory, 512 bytes of EEPROM, and 1 KB of SRAM, allowing for sufficient storage of programs and runtime variables in most medium-sized applications. It includes two 8-bit timers and one 16-bit timer, enabling precise timing and PWM generation. Additionally, the microcontroller has an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, which allows accurate analog signal measurements from various sensors. Other features include a built-in watchdog timer, internal oscillator, analog comparator, UART, I2C, and SPI communication protocols, which allow seamless communication with external modules. The ATmega8A also supports internal and external interrupts and offers five power-saving modes, making it efficient for battery-powered applications. Due to its ease of programming, broad compatibility with Arduino IDE, and reliable performance, it is a favorite among students, hobbyists, and engineers alike.
