The Microchip Technology ATMEGA3290PA-AU is a high-performance, low-power 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller designed for embedded control, LCD display applications, and intelligent electronic systems. Featuring a maximum clock frequency of 20MHz, 32KB of in-system programmable Flash memory, 2KB SRAM, and 1KB EEPROM, this device provides flexible processing and memory resources in a 100-pin TQFP surface-mount package.
Based on Microchip’s picoPower® AVR architecture, the ATMEGA3290PA-AU delivers processing performance of up to 20 MIPS at 20MHz while supporting energy-efficient operation. Its enhanced RISC architecture incorporates 130 instructions, 32 general-purpose working registers, and an on-chip hardware multiplier for efficient program execution.
The microcontroller integrates a 4 × 40 segment LCD controller with internal contrast control, enabling direct connection to compatible segmented LCD displays without requiring a separate LCD driver IC. With up to 69 programmable I/O lines, it provides extensive connectivity for sensor interfaces, user controls, display systems, and embedded applications.
The ATMEGA3290PA-AU includes an 8-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), four PWM channels, two 8-bit timers, one 16-bit timer, and an integrated real-time counter. Communication peripherals include USART, SPI, and Universal Serial Interface (USI), supporting flexible embedded communication and peripheral interfacing.
The device also provides JTAG-based debugging and programming, a programmable watchdog timer, power-on reset, brown-out detection, and five software-selectable power-saving modes. Its in-system programmable Flash and EEPROM memories support firmware development, system configuration, and nonvolatile data storage.
Operating from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply according to the family datasheet, the ATMEGA3290PA-AU is suitable for low-power embedded systems. It supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Housed in a 100-pin TQFP package with a nominal 14 × 14mm body size, this microcontroller is suitable for automated SMT assembly and high-density PCB designs. It is ideal for LCD-enabled instrumentation, industrial control panels, smart appliances, portable measurement equipment, and general-purpose embedded control systems.
