Product details

The Microchip ATMEGA168P-20AU is an 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller from the ATmega family, running at 20 MHz and packing 16 KB of Flash program memory (organized 8K x 16) plus 1K x 8 SRAM and 512 x 8 EEPROM.

Peripheral set and I/O — what you can connect without extra glue

That covers the common sensor buses (I²C for temperature/humidity, SPI for ADCs or displays) and a debug/programming UART without external level shifters, since the I/O is 5 V tolerant.

Package and footprint — 32-TQFP with 7x7 mm body

The exposed pad is not present on this package variant, so thermal dissipation relies on the leadframe and board copper. The 0.8 mm pitch is hand-solderable with care but reflow is the production method. No special keep-out zones beyond the usual TQFP land pattern.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ATMEGA168P-20AU and ATMEGA328P?

Both are 8-bit AVR MCUs in the same ATmega family. The ATMEGA328P doubles the Flash to 32 KB and the SRAM to 2 KB, and adds six more I/O pins (28-pin PDIP/TQFP vs 32-pin TQFP). The ATMEGA168P-20AU is the cost-optimized choice when 16 KB Flash and 23 I/O are sufficient for the application.

Is ATMEGA168P-20AU compatible with 3.3 V logic?

Yes. At 3.3 V the 20 MHz speed is still guaranteed, though the Flash access time may require zero wait states at lower clock frequencies. The I/O levels track Vcc, so 3.3 V logic is directly compatible.
