00 — Overview

What the ATtiny13A does

The ATtiny13A is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller featuring a high-performance RISC architecture with up to 20 MIPS throughput. Available in 8-pin, 10-pad, and 20-pad packages, it supports industrial temperature ranges and operates from 1.8 to 5.5V. Key specifications include 1K bytes of Flash memory, 64 bytes of EEPROM, and a 4-channel 10-bit ADC. The device integrates a programmable watchdog timer, an analog comparator, and a 4-channel PWM system. It consumes as little as 190 µA in active mode and 24 µA in idle mode. Engineers typically use this part for embedded control applications requiring low power consumption and minimal component count.
