ATmega48/88/168 Automotive [DATASHEET]
7530K–AVR–07/14
The AVR
®
core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly
connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction
executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times
faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The Atmel
®
ATmega48/88/168 provides the following features: 4K/8K/16Kbytes of in-system programmable flash with
read-while-write capabilities, 256/512/512 bytes EEPROM, 512/1K/1Kbytes SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general
purpose working registers, three flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial
programmable USART, a byte-oriented 2-wire serial interface, an SPI serial port, a 6-channel 10-bit ADC (8 channels in
TQFP and QFN packages), a programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, and five software selectable power
saving modes. The idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, USART, 2-wire serial interface, SPI
port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the
oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In power-save mode, the asynchronous
timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. The ADC noise
reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except asynchronous timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during
ADC conversions. In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This
allows very fast start-up combined with low power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip ISP flash allows the
program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory
programmer, or by an on-chip boot program running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download
the application program in the application flash memory. Software in the boot flash section will continue to run while the
application flash section is updated, providing true read-while-write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with
in-system self-programmable flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega48/88/168 is a powerful microcontroller that
provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The Atmel ATmega48/88/168 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C
compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit emulators, and evaluation kits.
2.2 Automotive Quality Grade
The ATmega48-15AZ, ATmega88-15AZ and ATmega168-15AZ have been developed and manufactured according to the
most stringent requirements of the international standard ISO-TS-16949 grade 1. This data sheet contains limit values
extracted from the results of extensive characterization (temperature and voltage). The quality and reliability of the
ATmega48-15AZ, ATmega88-15AZ and ATmega168-15AZ have been verified during regular product qualification as per
AEC-Q100.
As indicated in the ordering information paragraph (see Section 31. “Ordering Information” on page 296), the products are
available in three different temperature grades, but with equivalent quality and reliability objectives. Different temperature
identifiers have been defined as listed in Table 2-1.
