AVR 8-Bit Microcontroller
ATmega8A Data Sheet
Introduction
В® The ATmega8A is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC
architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega8A achieves
throughputs close to 1 MIPS per MHz. This empowers system designer to optimize the device for power
consumption versus processing speed. Features High-performance, Low-power AVR 8-bit Microcontroller
