ATMEGA2560-16AU IC Microcontroller

Description
The ATMEGA2560-16AU is an AVR 8-bit high-performance low-power microcontroller from ATMEL Corporation. The ATMEGA2560-16AU is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture microcontroller with 256kB of flash memory. The microcontroller IC also houses 4kB of EEPROM, 8kB of internal SRAM and 86 GPIO lines. The device also features three flexible timers/counter, serial USART, SPI port, 10-bit ADC and five programmable power saving modes. The operating voltage range is 1.8V to 5.5V. The A in the suffix signifies that the microcontroller comes in a TQFP package and the U signifies that the device has an “industrial” temperature range.
