ATmega162/V
2513E–AVR–09/03
Overview The ATmega162 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle,
the ATmega162 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the sys-
tem designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
