The Microchip ATMEGA88PB-ANR is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller from the ATmega series, part of the Functional Safety (FuSa) portfolio.
Housed in a 32-TQFP package with a 7x7 mm body, the ATMEGA88PB-ANR is a surface-mount device with a 0.8 mm pitch. The 27 I/O are accessible on all four sides, which simplifies routing on a two-layer board. The exposed pad (if present on this variant) should be stitched to the ground plane with a few vias for thermal relief — the datasheet's recommended footprint is the safe starting point.
The base product number ATMEGA88 means the PB suffix adds the picoPower and improved EMC features of the later revision — a direct drop-in for older ATMEGA88P designs if the firmware is recompiled for the same peripheral set.
