Atmel, acquired by Microchip in 2016, originally developed the ATmega family of MCUs. Microchip now offers ATmega MCUs.
ATmega MCUs offer substantial program and data memories with performance up to 20 MIPS. With innovative picoPower® technology that minimizes power consumption, all ATmega MCUs offer self-programmability for fast, secure and cost-effective in-circuit upgrades. You can even upgrade the flash memory while running your application.
Based on industry-leading, proven technology, the ATmega family offers a wide selection of devices in terms of memories, pin counts and peripherals. Choose between general-purpose devices or models with specialized peripherals like USB or LCD controllers or CAN, LIN and Power Stage Controllers (PSCs). It's easy to find the optimal fit for your project in the ATmega product family.
