The Atmel ATmega168A is a 16K 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR architecture and replaces the now obsolete ATmega168. Many instructions are executed in a single clock cycle providing a throughput of almost 20 MIPS at 20MHz. The ATMEGA168A-PU comes in an PDIP 28 pin package and is suitable for use on our 28 pin AVR Development Board.
