ATMEGA8L

ATMEGA16: 28 PIN AVR Microcontroller

The ATmega8 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega8 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, allowing the system designed to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
